We're back again, guys,

with the Lost Episode series.

Adam Friedland here at the Adam Friedlands Corporate Age Q here in Manhattan, New York.

We're hard at work on some shit.

I know I keep saying that.

What does it sound like, guys, when I say that kind of thing?

Exciting.

I'm pretty excited about what's to come.

Here is the second installment of our Lost Episode series.

The guest this this time was Julian Casablancas who

let's be real folks.

I'm gonna be candid okay.

When I was in high school and I was reading Spin magazine I would see pictures of this gentleman who was about who's on the show

that you're about to see and

I don't know if he was gay

But I just wanted to know him.

I thought New York City was a place where it was nighttime 24 hours a day and everyone was the strokes.

I thought it was that and I thought it was like Seinfeld.

I thought it was a place where Jewish men, Jewish gargoyles, can date 11s and or you could be the strokes.

Okay?

And I was like, either way, that's the city I want a part of one day when

I'm a 37-year-old.

It wasn't a gay thought.

I never had gay thoughts about this guy.

I just thought

I wanted to be like him.

I just wanted to know him.

That album, the first album.

You guys remember?

Yeah.

What was your favorite song, Thomas?

I don't even remember.

It was so good.

What a shit answer.

I'm with my staff right now.

My troops, as I call them.

I've installed one of those buttons under my desk that Matt Lauer had.

That locks the door.

Oh, no.

Yeah, it's just me here still.

I really do think now I can do this.

I can do this, guys.

This is an episode that was recorded, what, 27 years ago with Julian Casablanca.

There are a couple of fun complications that you will.

Guys, this is the second episode

of Lost.

First, Luca is a Laker.

What?

First episode of Luca is a Laker.

Okay, enough ad-lipping on the other side of the camera.

Intro sketch.

Oh, yeah, the intro sketch.

Oh, okay, yeah.

Here's the other thing.

This one we actually shot an intro sketch for,

which

was, so this was never aired, but this is another sketch.

Kind of a problem that Nick and I kept running into was the sketch.

The sketches that we wrote continuously were the same thing where it's like, well, we don't have anything for the intro this week.

So this fell in line with that.

You know, we weren't.

necessarily in love with this.

These are lost episodes, guys.

Make of them what you will.

I actually think this intro is really funny.

I hadn't hadn't watched it in about a year and a half, but I think it is pretty funny.

So, first, we're going to show you the intro, then we'll be back with a word from our sponsors.

And then, please, ladies and gentlemen, enjoy our interview with Julian Casablanca.

Did you see 12 Years a Slave?

No, you didn't?

It's a very tragic movie, but it came out like 10 years ago, and I hadn't seen it.

I haven't seen it since it came out in theaters.

And not being able to emotionally connect with the memory of seeing the movie it is kind of very funny as a premise

uh go on well just think what the hell were you thinking he's like a doctor or something he's a violent doing an interview behind my back he just gets kidnapped i'm sorry you're sorry

sorry isn't gonna cut it you're gonna have to pay for this

i've decided i i want i want more of the money But you're already taking 95% of the money.

Well, I've decided it should be 100%.

Yeah, but what about the work that I do?

The work you do, your job is to come up with a monologue and write shitty sketches, and this is what you've done to me?

That's maybe the movie I wanted to see, is a modern-day Martin Lawrence being kidnapped

by slave catchers that have a time machine.

You know, I don't know what's worse.

The idea that you could just bullshit your end of the bargain or

this attempt to replace me.

I wasn't trying to replace you.

Yeah, well, you couldn't.

I could very well be the greatest interviewer of all time.

You remember, this is the Adam Friedland show.

It's not the Adam and Nick show, and it's certainly not Cometown.

Yeah, I've been trying to write monologue stuff.

Just write me a goddamn monologue.

It's just that the news isn't funny.

It's been over a year since you've written anything.

There must be something.

I look and I look and I look.

Well, fucking look harder.

Okay.

All right.

Okay.

See, monologue.

monologue jokes New Yorktimes.com

What do we got?

Supreme Court, Trump,

none of this shit is fucking funny.

God damn it.

I just wish we lived in a fucking funnier world

Come on

Alright, wait a minute

He shit his pants?

Thank you, thank you.

And switching over to entertainment news, fat actor John Goodman has shit himself on the set of his new film.

Yeah, I heard it's actually a sequel to The Flintstones, which would explain the Yabba-Dabba doo-doo he took in his pants.

All right.

In the sports world, a local neo-Nazi has been waiting outside of City Field telling passers-by that he could not be more excited for the upcoming baseball season.

Yeah, I guess it must be springtime for Hitler.

Thank you.

And lastly, a man has died while on vacation in Saigon after being kicked in the back of the head by a horse.

Gee, it sounds like that Charlie horse is a real pain in in the neck.

All right, we're just having fun.

Thank you guys.

Okay, we got a great show for you today.

We'll be right back with Julian Casablanca, who's excited.

Thank you.

Thanks a lot, guys.

That was great.

Where'd you get these stories?

Um, no, it was all front page New York Times.

What?

No.

No.

Yeah, I guess

like a lucky break.

Wait, this is insane.

Oprah's tits exploded.

Yeah.

Hopefully the news stays like this.

I mean, what?

What's wrong?

Why do you look like that?

Come on.

Why are you so good in certain man?

I don't know.

I mean, it just, it feels bizarre.

I mean, it's like somebody's changing reality to make the world funnier just to make the monologue good.

Well, maybe it's God.

I mean, maybe someone up there recognizes that we're working really hard over here.

And we deserve this.

Yeah, see, but that's the thing.

It's that we're not good people.

And we're lazy and we're untalented.

Well,

whoever's watching and helping us out, thank you.

Please welcome Julian Casablanca

Let's get some energy.

You guys are you guys are audience

Welcome sir

How you doing pretty good Do you think this this whole like the set and my suit and everything you think it's like strokes vibes

Kind of now that you mention it, yeah.

Hell yeah.

It's pretty cool.

That's yeah, it's glad I was a positive influence, maybe.

I remember I'd go to Borders Bookstore with my grandma and look at Spin magazine and just see pictures of y'all boys and be like, I just can't wait to get pussy one day.

These guys are the coolest.

So, first question: have you ever gotten pussy before?

It's so embarrassing.

I just wanted to beat you.

No, no, no.

Oh shit.

Wow.

Wow.

What's it like?

Look at this.

Meticulous preparation.

Don't read it, dude.

It's embarrassing.

Damn.

You ever um serial killer preparation?

Yeah, I was like, his penis, 14 inches.

Six foot two.

What's it like?

Okay, so.

what is that what are you reading?

It's just excerpts from other interviews.

Ugh, I don't tell you.

I didn't even know what it was.

Um need a cigarette though.

This is a cool asserting.

I remember when the band like first came out, there was like this legend about boarding school, like New York City blue blood kind of lads.

But you didn't, you met them in New York, right?

Yeah, Nikolai was friends with since we were kids.

I think one, I got sent to boarding school when I was kind of like, the fuck up.

Where is it?

Switzerland?

Yeah.

Were there like war criminals kids at that school?

Probably.

I mean, I was, you know, I think I was the only kid there without a trust fund, probably.

It was like, it was wild.

But I wasn't friends with him, but at the time, Albert had also gone there for like six months.

Did Kim Jong-un go to that boarding school?

I don't think so.

I think he went to Switzerland.

I think the old man sent him off to probably your school.

You're probably roommates.

No.

Oh, my God.

No, I ha no, I had a Korean roommate, but no, it wasn't him.

It's probably him.

He listened to End of the Road like

1,500 times.

You hated that?

Oh, yeah.

Really?

That song.

Yeah.

Apparently, Kim Jong-un got addicted to Emmentaler cheese when he was in Switzerland.

And he'd have it, like, sent to North Korea.

Oh, wow.

And he ate so much cheese, it almost killed him.

He got gout.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

Right?

Like,

so i was like in adolescence when you know your first two albums came out right i was like a little boy but like your contemporaries in that era it was corn you know or like limp biscuit were you at the grammys with those freaks we were at something where we lost

who did you lose to corn

the better man one let's be honest no it wasn't it wasn't corn

i would have bowed down i mean i you know i don't know i like cord?

I wanted to love.

I loved a lot about it, but maybe musically sometimes I had problems with it.

You know what I mean?

I wanted like something different.

Yeah, because it sounds like shit.

I like that one song that's like,

you know that one?

The corn.

Freak on the.

Oh, wa-uh-uh-a is good.

Okay.

Whenever I hear that music, I think of a guy in Afghanistan.

Like

during the war, you know, it's post-9-11.

He's listening listening to, there is that clip of that guy being like, I listen to Let the Bodies Hit the Floor while I'm in Kabul.

Kind of a nightmare, no?

What, the war or the music?

The juxtaposition.

The juxtaposition makes sense to me.

Because lads like me were listening.

You're like upset, you know, sometimes you just want.

So you're pro-Iraq war?

Defending freedom at all costs.

No.

That was a crap war, in my opinion.

Okay.

That's not a controversial.

I just want to make it clear.

Colin Palishina lied at the UN.

A lot of people aren't willing to say this, but they, you know, where were the weapons of mass destruction?

I mean, if you said that in 2003,

you'd get like fired from the New York Times and stuff.

But now it's fine.

Yeah, now they're defending other.

There's a new lie to defend.

What's your favorite war?

My favorite?

Yeah.

My favorite war.

I think

World War II

is not like the study of it, but yeah, just

at least from the American perspective, it was like, you know, we tried to stay out of it and then

eventually I feel like people thought, you know, the world was going to be taken over by the Nazis or, you know, America, California was going to be invaded by Japan.

so that was at least understandable

yeah and then of course it built a war machine that US civil

so sick

what side would you have been on

you're a pretty progressive guy politics

I mean I

I would like to

pretend to care about the truth.

I don't know, whatever that means.

But you're not you're pretending.

You don't care?

No, no, no.

I just

sounds, I don't want to sound arrogant.

But yeah, truth is important and I think

rarely kind of in the lens in the mainstream view.

When you guys play that thing for Bernie, did you meet him?

You met the man?

Briefly.

He was pretty, didn't seem like he really

knew or cared, which is fine.

What do you think he listens to?

Whoa.

Woolly Bully, probably.

He seems like the kind of guy who doesn't listen to music.

It's too much noise.

What's this noise with the...

Well, I don't know.

Yeah.

No, he probably likes like.

He went to college in the 60s.

He probably likes like just finger-popping style doo-wop.

No?

Finger-popping?

Sorry, I...

You know, like, you go to Lovers Lane and try to finger pop to it.

Oh.

Yeah, though, I don't know.

Still, what you're saying.

And then he kissed me.

Fingering music, I don't know what that is.

I finger pop to the stroke.

Finger pop.

Jewish summer camp.

Okay.

Wow.

Well, it's better than let the bodies hit the floor in Afghanistan.

Is it?

Yes.

Yes, that's love.

That's arguable.

Between two ugly teenagers, that's love.

Okay.

It's arguable.

What are you talking about?

Clearing out a village and fucking Tora Bora.

One made me nauseous and one didn't.

When did you swipe your V?

Like 12, probably.

Jesus.

You're probably one of those cool NYC kids.

No, no, no.

You guys grow up quick, you know?

I was the late boomer, I think.

Everyone I know that grows up in the city is like, oh, I had my Coke phase at 11.

I'm over it.

No,

it was later.

Yeah, me too.

You liked punk as a kid?

I mean, sure, still.

Still.

What's your favorite?

My favorite punk band.

I mean, that's

like,

I mean...

TV party tonight.

We're gonna have a TV party.

Alright.

Yeah, I think

probably

I would say...

I mean, in a way...

Oh, man, just the evolution of punk is actually pretty strange.

Yoko.

Yeah, Yoko.

She kind of invented low-key.

She's kind of the first punk, no?

I don't know about that, man.

Why not?

I can't with Yoko.

You don't like her?

Kind of that when she was going.

Exactly.

Yeah, that's the problem.

That's kind of bad attitude punk style, no?

Okay, maybe.

Yeah, my favorite punk artist, Yoko.

I think a lot of people used to think that we were trying to do 70s punk, but I think it was just a coincidence that like 70s bands and me

were trying to copy Velvet Underground.

You were a Velvets kid?

That was your band?

That was maybe well, that was probably one of the first bands that I kind of got into.

Really?

Did you meet Lou?

I did, yeah.

Did he say you were cool?

It's funny,'cause I met him before we were f you know, did anything and uh

and I I there was a book signing and we met him and he was super kind of weird and cryptic and cool, I thought.

And then we met him years later, we did did like an interview thing.

We did a song with him.

We did like Walk on the Wild Side and stuff.

Yeah, he said he was nice.

There's a bad word in that song.

There's a what?

There's a bad word.

The colored girls.

It's funny that you bring that up.

Well, it's funny because,

okay, so we were doing the song

and then he was like, oh, he like didn't say it.

And I was like, no one cares.

It's fine.

It was, you know, it was before Trump, I guess.

You know what I mean?

It was kind of...

It was when it was cool.

It was just no, it was just not like I think we've kind of gone back on the sensitivity meter.

Sure, there was a like a moral crisis.

There was just a time when no, I was just like, it's fine.

It's like, who cares?

It's a legendary song, like, no one cares.

And he was just like, I think I said it when we did it or something.

And then years, fast forward years later, they asked me to do this thing with like Q-tip.

And they literally had like black vocalists doing the background for

Wildside.

Yeah.

And so I had to kind of like face the music thing.

I was like, do you guys, like, should I not say this line?

And you learned an important lesson that day.

They said, no, definitely sing it.

Nice.

Nice, brother.

So you got the pass.

I mean, they, I don't know.

I was just, I was definitely like, it was like a pretty much like majority black audience too.

So it was like, I was like,

they told me to do it.

Yeah, yeah.

Lou Reed song, I'm just hired to.

Yeah, I didn't write this crap.

Have you blown it with like a hero?

Have you like met a big one and just like thought, like, thought of like this line is gonna be fire?

I'm gonna say this to him.

A little bit, maybe.

Who'd you blow it at the worst?

I kind of Eddie Vetter, I think, it's just I was like too much of a fan.

I think maybe I've made it up and we're okay again.

I like practice being cool the next three times we meet with it.

It's so embarrassing when you meet a guy like that.

Kind of like writing a song.

Anyone else you blew it with epically?

Um

Kate Moss, Rivers, Cuomo.

Did you meet Bowie?

Yeah.

Was he the best?

Oh, I kind of embarrassed myself in front of him, too.

What?

Well, I had like a dumb theory, and I was

a little kid, and I was probably drunk.

I don't know.

I asked him if Velvet Goldmine was like about anal sex.

And you bombed.

Yeah.

And he was probably so polite.

He was probably so polite about it.

He was such a gentle son.

He's like, no, it was about the London Underground.

Before we were doing the interview, you were saying how you have zero respect for

Great Britain.

I did not.

Yeah.

You did, and you said you were glad Queen Elizabeth passed away.

Oh, my God.

Does it bother you?

You said I love England, and you were like, don't you?

Does it bother you that they sing an American accent?

Why they be doing that?

They're all like singing American style.

Yeah.

Step off, Adele.

Yeah.

Did you ever meet Susan Boyle?

What?

No.

I watched that video when I want to cry.

She like goes out on that stage and everyone's like, ha ha ha.

Look how nasty this lady is.

And they're like, what do you want to do?

She's like, I want to be a singer.

And they're like, oh, you're too nasty to sing.

And then she just does fucking lame is, perfect.

It makes me weep.

Yeah.

What's wrong, dude?

You have a history with her?

You feel?

I wrote a song.

You wrote a song?

Play for me.

Okay.

Oh my god.

But it's maybe not your song.

Are you gonna pull out like a microphone?

What do you okay?

I have headphones.

Really?

It's just a demo, dude.

Are you joking?

What is this song you wrote?

It's just a demo, dude.

Okay.

I wrote this after my mom died, too.

Alright.

Oh my god.

He's crying.

Oh, fuck.

Getting

over.

Dang.

What's he doing?

doing?

Where'd he go?

Like to kill himself.

That was intense.

If that's true, I can't.

I was like, at first, I was wondering if it was like a joke.

No, it's real.

It's good.

You think?

Oh, yeah.

No, come on.

Well,

I was thinking of like, I don't know if the whole thing you were saying was a joke, but

it worked.

It was like I was thinking of your mom, and it was like sad.

thanks man

so it's like one of the best songs I've ever written

is it one of the best I it's pretty cool actually the chords you're playing are kind of what you play the guitar

not well

I thought it was cool you want to listen again for

only 59 seconds 59 seconds okay

at first I thought maybe you were playing a joke it paused in the middle you didn't even finish it it just stopped oh you didn't even hear the whole thing bro.

You're lying on my ass, right?
