Welcome to the first BKFAD2 contestant interview!

I'm Nozomi Toujou...

...and I'm a slightly worried Gary.

Today, we're interviewing none other than the funkiest aliens from Funkotron, ToeJam and Earl!

That's us!

Yo!

So, let's start this off with an easy one. Have you ever been to any other planet besides Funkotron?

And here, of course.

Actually, we've been to Earth in the past.

We crash landed here twice because Big Earl is mightily bad at cruising our ship.

Mightily good.

No, y-

...I'll be real Earl, you are closer to competence than soul is to disco, but you've gotta get with the practicing, big E!

Especially through the asteroid belts.

You get practicing, and you'll be smooth cruisin' in no time, buddy!

Smooth cruisin'.

And you've worked us into a nice place, now.

Thanks to my buddy here, we're cruising into your tournament to put ourselves on the map.

The star maps, dawg.

But you should never let Earl drive.

Always.

Always drive yourself and never hand the wheel over.

Hand the wheel over, yo!

Are you feeling lucky to be in main bracket?

You were almost in exhibition, but now you're up against my machine!

It's a great opportunity, and we're jammin' with this good luck we have.

We've shown our funk enough to get us into main bracket, now we just need to groove on past the competition!

Groove on past!

And we have it all planned how we're gonna do that!

While we don't have the big rigs from our crib, we've ordered some earth-speakers to crank our highly funky tunes. Earl, you wanna bring it?

Yeah.

Those look heavy! How did you wheel them in so fast?

Root beer.

Root beer. Yeah.

How charming.

So Earl is gonna crank this today, and the audience won't be ready for our highly funkalicious tunes! You ready to crank it, Earl?

Yeah.

...Could you wait until the match?

You want a surprise for the viewers, after all!

Good point. We'll save this for later, Earl.

Now about your funky jams, have you taken any inspiration from Earth for your track listing?

You know it.

We've been here once before, so we've been all over this rock.

And we're jammin' to some funky tunes from every corner!

Yeah, jammin'.

We got it all up to date, check our stuff, yo!

But right here!

It says most of your tracks are from before the year 2000!

You know it, dawg.

Check it, 1998 and 1999.

We were taking off when those were dropping!

...It's 2021 now.

Well, we have brought our own stuff from the past few years.

We're back in the groove!

Back in the groove.

Do you think these funky tracks are enough to take on ROBO-G.A.R.Y.?

He is my robot.

I hope you're ready to face the power of a master engineer!

We have the highest respect for your work, G.

You're making the big rigs to put out some mad beats.

Respect, yo.

We've also got some engineering skill, but we're nothing on fully automated jammin' like ROBO-G.A.R.Y.!

But we're making up with raw funkiness, in the flesh!

In the flesh.

Well, thank you.

I've also been inspired by you, and decided to get G.A.R.Y. suitably prepared for this "funky" matchup!

You bringin' the funk? How's it go?

Ah, you'll have to wait and see.

Funkotronic.

Let's wrap this up with a fun personal question!

Who's your favourite musical artist?

...From Earth, of course, so our viewers know what you're talking about.

I have to pick one?

But there's stacks of fat beats from lots of funkalicious artists!

The Notorious B.I.G.

He's definitely up there, he's the original G.

I'll bring some balance and say a more modern funkmeister, Snoop Dogg.

Is this the crib?

Bobobo's got a attitude on him, I just needed to park it here a second.

Say, roly-polying through the weeds outside is rough work, like-

See these ice creams?

Covered in dirt!

I was banging at the window for 5 minutes, too.

So, who's pouring the chandon?

We got it going on.

Rollie, could you please leave?

We are conducting a professional interview.

We'll gizzo in the shizzle later, dawg.

I knew that.

And who's the snail you're up against?

He's taken a bit of my bug source!

I don't like stealers, so I hope you two win this one!

...Perfect.

Who said anything about a sn-

I'll see you later, mites!

Later.

Well, I suppose that wraps up this interview!

...You were meant to emphasise the "raps".

It's fine as is.

Yeah, we gotta bounce.

We have the big men over for some funkadelic groovin' later.

Rollie already talked about that just now.

We'll have you two over, if you like.

I know I'd love to see G.A.R.Y. bringing some funk!

That would be delightful!

Should I bring beverages of any sort?

Root beer.

Root beer.
