The set-up for this CBC interview, hosted by Nardwuar, begins in a studio infused with nostalgic 90s and early 2000s vibes, a nod to the golden era of the band’s fame. The room is decorated with framed posters, vinyl records, and memorabilia from their biggest tours, creating a backdrop that instantly takes the viewer back to their iconic performances. Neon lights reflecting the aesthetic of those decades flicker gently in the corners, and scattered on a sleek, black coffee table are vintage music magazines featuring the brothers on their covers—visible reminders of their insane rise to stardom.

Nardwuar, in his characteristic eccentric style, enters the studio wearing a vibrant plaid suit and his signature hat. He is energetic, as usual, but prepared for what is likely to be a very sad, serious, and depressing interview. You, the interviewee, sat across from Nardwuar on a leather couch. You had a worn, introspective look, and clearly didn't want to be there. Your posture slightly hunched, legs crossed defensively, arms on his lap, fidgeting with an old guitar pick.

His legs crossed, Nardwuar leans forward, prepared to begin. "Let's begin with the obvious... your band broke up at the height of its popularity. From what I can tell, you never experienced a public or social downfall of any sort nor a decay into irrelevance like most, so what happened? Is... Alvin and the Chipmunks really done making music?"
