Have you seen it yet? -Yeah. I saw -- I just saw it. [ Laughing ] Okay, good. -Yeah. -Thank you for doing that. -Gross. -Gross is good. I like goggles, too. It was really funny. -You know, honestly, because we had to film our parts so far away, I think, you know, not knowing after all these years of friendship that you could do hand farts, I feel like I don't even know you anymore. -Come on. You think -- You even thought twice in your head that I could not do a hand fart? -I mean, if the question would've come up, I would've been like, "Well, of course Jimmy could probably do hand farts." And now the world knows. -[ Laughs ] -And, uh... -That was -- -How you been, man? -What is that? I'm doing good, man. I miss you. You know, the last time you were on my show, you couldn't talk. You lost your voice. -Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. -And now this time, we're a thousand miles away. -And now I have so many things to say and nobody to say them to. [ Both laugh ] We've been hanging out in Montana. This is my quarantine beanie. -Yeah. I mean, how is the family? How is everyone being safe at the house? Everyone's quarantined, everything good? -Yeah. Everybody's good here, man. We're -- you know. I mean, it sounds funny that we have to cover it because we're on your show now, because we speak to each other every other day, but, yeah. You know, I mean, we're just -- we've just been trying. I mean, honestly, you know, we've just been trying to do our part. Stay in and, uh... Exactly. I was looking at all these notes and something just to interview you, and all this stuff started coming up. I don't know -- Have we ever talked about -- Do you remember the first time we actually ever met? -I mean -- -Was it at "SNL"? -Was it at "SNL"? -Or was it VMAs? -I don't remember. -I remember backstage with you at the VMAs when we shared dressing rooms kind of. We were almost connected. Our dressing rooms were in the -- Was it in the basement of Radio City maybe? -Uh... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which VMA was that? -It was 2002. This is when you came out of the boom box. This is your debut. -Oh, right. Right. My de-butt. -Your de-butt, man. I remember I was pacing downstairs. And I think I was dressed as a superhero or something. And I was, like, pacing, and I'm like, "I'm so nervous, man. I hope this hosting thing goes well. Because, you know, if I host this, that makes my career. And you go, "Yeah. Well, this is my first solo thing ever." [ Laughter ] "So I guess it's the same." -No, no, no. Didn't you do -- Was that the year that you did the whole medley at the beginning of the show? -Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. That was it. Yeah, yeah. -You did the Nelly Band-Aid and everything. -Yeah, yeah, yeah. -That was a good joke. I liked that one. -But, yeah, that was like -- I remember you going, like -- 'Cause this was back in the day when you didn't release your song -- No one even heard what you sounded like as a solo artist. -Yeah. That was the first. Yeah, in retrospect maybe not the greatest decision. Maybe I should have put the song out first so people knew who I was. -It's a gamble, man. That's a risky move. -You know what happens, though, is back then, like, the people at the VMAs hype you up, like, "This is gonna be crazy, man! You're going to debut your song! And people are --" And everybody was watching, but they didn't know the song, so they were just kind of like... -[ Laughs ] I guess that's what he sounds like. That's good." Dude, you crushed it. It was legendary. -Well, thanks, man. -We did that. -I remember we were both nervous. I don't remember everything we were saying to each other. But the funny thing about our friendship even when it first started is that I just remember that -- Like, what you were talking about -- nothing was that serious. We were kind of like -- you were like, "Oh, man I'm hosting. I'm hosting. I'm like, "Yeah, well, I'm kind of, like -- this is my first solo thing, so whatever with your hosting." And we kind of, like -- We started doing bits back and forth. You know, and that's all we do now. [ Both laugh ] -That's actually all we do. Do you remember going to Africa together? -Yes. Yes. -What do you remember about that the most? -We talked about this before, but it's funny to bring up again, I remember you just drinking so many protein shakes. -Dude, that was insane. Dude, that was seriously -- I've never recovered. I remember I was kind of rubbing it in your face 'cause we were on safari or something, and it was hot, and we were going, and I just looked at you, and I was like -- and I had a packet, and I'm like -- I poured it in this shaker, and I was like shaking it up. And I'm like, "Sorry, dude. I thought ahead. First of all, also, do you remember I was -- all I wore was khaki clothing? -Yes. You came -- yeah. You had one of the, like -- you had one of the hats that was one side went up and the other side -- [ Both laugh ] -And the best part was -- The best part was, it was like, after day two of you wearing that outfit, I was like, "Is he being ironic or is he really invested in this?" -I play by the rules. 'Cause it was an MTV show, and they sent me a contract, and they said, "Get all these shots and then, you know, make sure you wear light khaki clothing." I was like, "I don't have anything khaki clothing," so I went to the sporting-goods store, and I bought, like, cargo shorts and cargo shirts, almost. Like, I had shirts that had pockets everywhere. -Yeah. -And then I had a hat to cover me from the sun or whatever. With the little strap under here. And then, when I got to the airport, you were there, and you were just wearing, like, a baseball hat and a T-shirt and sneakers. -[ Laughs ] -I went, "You can't wear that. Like, what are you talking about?" And you're like, "Yeah. That's what I'm wearing." "You don't have any khaki? Does any of your clothes wick? Do you have any wicking?" -[ Laughing ] Yeah. "Is the material on your clothing actually 90,000 SPF?" -"Can you use your clothing as fuel like I can?" -Yeah. -I went to some outdoorsy shop. -Yeah. "Can you chop up your -- Can you chop up your cargo shirt and make cornbread out of it? I don't think so." [ Both laugh ] -But then I started drinking these protein shakes and I was, like, kind of waving it at you. Like, "I don't know, dude. Check it out." And you go -- After like the third day or something, you go, "Hey, dude, you know, like, you drink that after you work out all day." I go, "What do you mean?" You're like, "I mean, we've been together all day. You haven't really been working out. You can't keep drinking those, or you're gonna gain like 20 pounds." I'm like, "What?" [ Both laugh ] -Also, too, I remember being, like, "If you're not working out -- If you're not working out,
