Priuscast 33 - Casual Mafia Interview

PriusCast number 33, Casual Mafia Interview, brought to you in part by ToyotaLiveWeb.com.

Well, hello there. My name is Alan. I live in the Midwest. I drive a 2010 Toyota Prius, and I think I left my show notes in my Prius.

Welcome back to the PriusCast, a podcast by a Prius owner. For potential Prius owners, this podcast is hosted and supported by ToyotaLiveWeb.com,

which also hosts my very active lately, PriusCast blog. Just drop by and check it out.

Today on the PriusCast, back sometime in May.

May of 2009, someone sent me a link to a comedy music video about the Toyota Prius.

I think it was my buddy Mike, who also drives a Prius.

The song was called In My Prius, and it was done by a comedy group known as the Casual Mafia.

For the last few months, I've been playing part of the song as the closing tune for this PriusCast podcast.

Now, I contacted the Casual Mafia folks on July 14th, 2009, to make sure they were okay with me playing part of their song,

and then around October...

October 27th, I wrote them again, asking if we could arrange a short interview to talk about how the song came to be.

And now, six months later, I finally got organized enough to conduct this interview.

It was recorded through a telephone conference service, so just pretend you're dialed in and listening.

Alright, so with me is Josh from CasualMafia.com.

Josh, tell me, what is Casual Mafia?

Casual Mafia.

We are a...

a comedy production company.

You know, we do sketch comedy, musical comedy, we're writing pilots, feature films, and, you know,

we have a great internet presence right now, and we're looking to branch out to TV and feature films.

And where are you guys based?

We are based out of Los Angeles.

We are 11, 12 people strong, seven talent, two directors, most everybody writes for the group,

and, yeah, that's our team.

Most people in the team are from the East Coast, for the most part.

Boston, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, so we're all transients out here in L.A.

Somebody told you California was the place you ought to be.

Exactly.

And it's 85 degrees here today, so they were right.

Rub it in.

We've got snow here in the Midwest.

So when did Casual Mafia come to be?

We started...

We launched our website April 6th of 2009.

And we...

Basically, we...

Paul, Fiore, and myself started the group.

We met three years ago when I first moved out to L.A. from New York,

and Paul was shooting a pilot.

We got together, became friends.

We shot a couple web series, Dear Guiry, which is on the Casual Mafia's YouTube channel.

And then we decided that, you know, we had a great group of people around us,

some really talented people, and we decided, you know,

we're going to take a chunk of the sketch comedy that's going on on the Internet.

So we decided to film the Casual Mafia, and, you know, we shot a bunch of things,

and then we launched the website on April 6th of 2009.

I'll be darned.

Well, gosh, you've got a birthday coming up for the website.

I didn't realize that.

Absolutely.

Now, of course, the reason I'm talking to you is because of a video that was sent to me last year.

Somebody forwarded me a link to this music video of a song called In My Prius.

In My Prius.

Yeah.

Now, and, of course, immediately I forwarded this thing off to everybody I knew

that had an interest in this little Toyota car.

First of all, why?

Okay.

What's the comedy bit about a Prius?

We, Brian Muschiavo, he wrote the song and all the lyrics for the most part.

You know, it's a collaborative effort, but he and I sat around and worked on the song

and tweaked it and is what it is today after, you know, a few hours of us sitting around

and laughing and joking about the Prius.

See, basically it came out, and I think, and Brian and I had talked about it,

but it came out because we live in that.

We live in LA, which is the land of Prius.

For those of you who don't know out there, I would say, you know, one in five cars out here is a Prius.

At least it seems that way to us.

Everywhere you go, somebody has a Prius.

And it's not, there's no dogging of the Prius.

It's not that we don't appreciate the hybrid car or anything like that, but it just, it,

I think it deserved a rap song.

It's a kind of transcendent car out there because, I mean, look,

if there are hybrids out there, and my dad's going to kill me because he is a Honda dealer,

but the Prius out there is the quintessential hybrid car, right?

When you say hybrid, it connotates, it connotates a hybrid car.

It's like saying Kleenex.

It's a tissue, but when you say tissue, you just mean a Kleenex, right?

Right.

It's one of those words like a Google.

People will refer to things as the Prius of lawnmowers if it's an efficient lawnmower.

Right.

Exactly.

Okay.

Now, when would Prius actually do this, though?

When would Prius do this?

When was this idea born?

It was born, weirdly enough, basically right after, basically, okay, here's what happened.

We shot the Douchebag Anthem, which is up on the site, and the first few sketches about a month and a half

before the website launched, and then not only, not more than like four or five days after we launched the website,

we started going into production for the next round of sketches, and how we shoot it,

how we shoot all of our stuff is we'll do it all on a weekend.

We'll get all the talent, and we'll shoot basically dawn until dusk,

two days in a row.

So Saturday, Sunday, we'll shoot like 6 a.m. to midnight, and then again 6 a.m. to midnight.

And we were talking about songs we wanted to do for the next sketch weekend, and Brian said,

I got this idea, tell me what you think.

And basically all we had was, you won't see me ever hit E with my MPGs in my Prius when it first came out.

Brian just kind of had this idea.

And then a day later, he basically had written out half the song, or more like three-quarters of the song.

We added a couple things.

And we decided, you know, we knew that in the song we had to have that Obama sticker line in there,

because it seems like everyone out here, as soon as Obama went on a campaign,

every Prius had an Obama sticker on the back of it, every single one.

And so we figured that could be in there.

And out here in L.A., you don't have to pay for meters if you have a Prius or a hybrid car.

Nice.

And you don't, and if you can apply for the sticker to put on the Prius so that you can drive in the car,

in the lane without more than, you can drive by yourself in the carpool lane in a Prius if you have the sticker on your car.

Now, I noticed you're listing a lot of really specific things that I think a casual person,

especially not from California, might not know.

But that song is filled with so many in-references to, you know, the deep parts about the Prius

that I think unless you were a Prius owner, you wouldn't even know.

Certainly being able to drive free in the carpool, or drive in the carpool lane without a passenger.

Right.

Who are you targeting?

Who are you targeting when you're putting all these things together?

Who's your audience for this song?

That's a good question.

I guess a little bit of both.

The people that don't know much about the Prius, because, you know, people always ask me that question is,

I don't get the carpool lane line, you know, the cruising in my carpool lane.

In my Prius, it's because of that.

Because, you know, you'll be stuck in traffic in L.A.

And as everybody knows around the world.

And I feel like there's Amazon tribes out there who know that the traffic is bad in L.A., right?

Yes.

We've got to get through that out here.

Yeah.

The traffic is terrible.

So you're stuck in traffic and you see Prius is just cruising in the carpool lane because they have that sticker.

And, you know, it's those kind of, it's the people that don't know that you can't, you don't have to pay for meters.

And I think that it was originally supposed to be comedy and it fit in the lyrics.

But, you know, that is definitely.

It's definitely a reason to purchase a Prius.

It's definitely a perk, right?

I mean.

I have heard that the Priuses and the hybrids that were able to get those stickers on them have a much, much higher resale value simply because of that access.

Absolutely.

I mean, I wouldn't doubt it.

And believe it or not, I was in Omaha, Nebraska a few months ago and parked in somebody's driveway with a Toyota Prius with a carpool lane sticker on the side and the front.

So, you know.

There you go.

California plates, yeah.

Yeah.

It's a big.

You know, it's a big thing.

That's a coveted sticker to have on the back there.

And, you know, it was lyrics like that that make the song fun.

It's not only is it a funny rap song, is it a funny rap video, but it's also informative.

You know, all the lyrics have something to do with the actual Prius, not just a joke or anything like that.

It's definitely, there's some information to it.

It's our own little electric company version of a Prius.

Well, it's very well done because the details in the song, as a Prius driver since 2005, all the details are very, very funny and very accurate.

So it's actually more of an anthem.

It's certainly not like Jeff Dunham's routine about the Prius is strictly comedy.

And I laugh at it, although it annoys me because I had a blue Prius.

So once he had his bit, I got crap about driving a blue Prius for years.

Now I have a silver one.

I changed color.

Okay.

The silver is classic.

I like it.

Now, how do you, do you guys drive a Prius?

I mean, you've got all this information.

So how do you know?

Out of the 11, 12 members of the group, four people have Priuses.

It's a pretty good percentage.

Oh, good.

That's the research department.

Yes.

Now, where was the song actually recorded?

Was this a home studio thing?

Yes.

Brian Lociavo, our musical director, a musical genius.

I like to call him.

He's kind of like, he's the Bernie Taupin to our, to our, wait, Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics

and Elton John put the music to it, right?

That's how, like, partnership worked?

I'm trying to think.

That sounds right.

Yeah.

The other way would work as well.

Right.

I, I usually come up with a song idea in my head or something like that.

For this one, I'll give Brian all the credit.

You know, this was his baby and he, we knocked it out of the park.

But a lot of times, I'll come.

I'll come to Brian with a song idea and lyrics on a sheet and I'll give it to him and then

two or, two or three hours later, he's got a tune to it.

So he's a very talented, yeah, he's a very, very talented person.

And.

So you've got like a home studio set up or something?

Exactly, yeah.

We'll go over to his house and he's got a whole home studio set up, mic, keyboard, instruments

and everything and we'll sit down and we'll just knock out the songs.

And what about the video?

Where was this video, I want to say filmed, but nobody uses film anymore.

Where was the video recorded?

Yeah, we shoot everything on HD and we shot it in an abandoned parking lot in Culver City,

California, which is basically considered West LA.

It's where Sony, Sony Studios are where, you know, a lot of major studios are housed.

We found, we were just driving around one day looking for a location because we knew

we wanted some place that we could drive the Prius around without having to interfere with

any kind of traffic.

We were hoping to get a, one of those like Dr. Dre Snoopers.

Yeah.

You know, the Dr. Dre Snoop Dogg shots where the Priuses kind of weave in and out of each

other, but for sake of safety and because none of us are professional drivers, we just

decided to not weave the cars in and out and then have them placed there in that four part,

as you know, in the video, how the four cars are kind of angled into each other.

That's what we, you know, we wanted to kind of have it like a, like a gangster type video,

but with the Prius, you know, I mean, it's, it's fitting with the wrap.

We kind of wanted like a, um, a Dr. Dre Snoop Dogg early nineties video shoot.

But, you know, future with the hybrid and the Prius, so.

Oh, that's, that's hilarious.

Now, obviously the song is more of an, more of an anthem.

It's more good fun than making fun.

But there's something about, yeah, it's something about instead of cruising in my 5.0, you know,

Ice Ice Baby or whatever, instead of having the real hardcore, tough, you know, gangster

rap kind of thing about a muscle car, you guys have a real, real Midwest Caucasian take

with a Prius, which is hilarious.

Yeah.

So who, who are the, who are the Priuses?

Yeah.

Who are the two that appear in the video?

Uh, I'm, uh, one of the rappers and Ricardo Martinez is the other one.

Ricardo, I like to, uh, basically how we shot the video is we wanted to hit all of the people

that stereotypically drive Priuses.

Um, this is not to be offensive at all or anything like that, but we thought that, um,

the hippies, uh, the, you know, the very green people, we had them represented in the video.

We had the preppies, uh, you know, if you remember the guy jumping around with the baited

yarn, he was, you know, he was, you know, he was, you know, he was, you know, he was

the kind of preppy guy, uh, drinking his Starbucks on his iPhone.

And then Ricardo and I, Ricardo played kind of the more, you know, uh, Starbucks, I read

books and, you know, love literature kind of guy.

He had the glasses on with the hat.

And then I was the preppy with the, you know, the dark side is the pink shirt and the khakis.

I've seen everybody in that video.

I've totally seen everything.

The only thing that I didn't notice is, uh, here in the Midwest, the market is, is kind

of skewed.

It's all these people you would expect.

And then retire.

A lot of retired couples, a lot of retired people drive the Prius.

I, uh, I was trying to fly my grandma out here for it, but, um, she had just had hip

replacement surgery, so she wasn't able to.

And that's, that's too bad because can you imagine putting your grandma in a Prius and

saying, here's your new car, here's the computer screen.

No, is she, you know, that I have trouble to be quite honest.

I get in Priuses and then I don't own a Prius.

Unfortunately, I don't own a Prius.

Um, but when I get in my Prius.

It is very foreign to me.

It is, uh, it is very futuristic.

It is very, I'll tell you what, the Prius is as close as you get to a space shuttle

that doesn't fly.

That's how I look at it.

And it's so funny.

I just, about two weeks ago, traded in my 07 for a, the new 2010 model.

They all redesigned.

And now I, I was so, I was so overwhelmed driving that off the lot with the changes

they made aesthetically.

Uh, it was kind of overwhelming.

I, it's, it's gotta be a hard sell for Toyota, for people who aren't looking for a spaceship

to drive.

Right, right.

So, so are there any ideas that didn't make it into the video that you, or the song that

you wish could have been in?

Well, I mean, obviously there's a lot of things that end up on the cutting room floor.

Uh, we had a, we basically had a third verse, but we thought that the, I mean, the song

basically now is about three minutes and we thought if we went a whole other verse and

then put a bridge in there that it would just, it would just kind of beat it into people's

head and they would almost honestly like lose the audience in the third or fourth, in the

third verse.

Um, we wanted to, we wanted to, we wanted to, we wanted to, we wanted to, we wanted

to really kind of hit, you know, we would think that where the Prius was born was San

Francisco.

Uh, we wanted to hit some of the stuff in San Francisco.

We wanted to hit, um, we wanted to bring in more of a Toyota kind of thing.

Uh, but then again, you know, because we were shooting it without Toyota's permission, I

mean, obviously we'd have loved to shoot it for Toyota and had they pay us for a commercial.

I mean, that would have been a dream situation, but because we were shooting it, uh, we, we

had to stay away from including the word Toyota.

We had to stay away from.

Uh, actually putting the logos in a lot of different places strictly because, you know,

uh, of copyright infringement and trademarking.

Um, the, uh, there was some verses where we, we, that's, you know, like we were talking

about before, we wanted, we didn't want to cross the line of making fun of people.

We didn't want to alienate people for driving Priuses.

We wanted to make it a fun video about the Prius.

And, you know, I mean, I think the comedy lies in the fact that, you know, it's a rap

song about Priuses.

The, you know, when you think of Prius, you don't think of rap.

Oh yeah.

It's, it's, it's very, very well orchestrated.

And that brings me to my next note.

Does Toyota know about this video?

Surely this has been passed around at dealers around the world.

Uh, I would, I would love to think that the CEO of Toyota has seen this.

Uh, you know, in a dream world, I'd love for him to give me a call and say, Hey Josh, uh,

we love the Prius.

We want to use it as our 2011 campaign.

Can we?

Let's talk about it.

Let's talk about using the song.

That's a dream.

Um, we were totally open to it.

Absolutely.

I'd love to represent the Prius.

Love it.

And I think that obviously, I mean, I'm, you know, I'm a bit biased, but I think that

this is a great song for the Prius because there are a lot of people out there who think

that the Prius has this aura of I'm better than you, that my car is better than you.

And my car is better than your car.

You don't drive a Prius, so you don't know.

I, I, I, I think that's wrong.

I think that the Prius is a, is a great thing.

You know, if you look on, what's funny is if you look on our comment section on the video,

there's a lot of people out there that disagree and think that the Prius is more, more harmful

to the environment than it is helpful.

Now, I, I'm not a scientist.

I don't claim to know what is or what isn't.

But I, all I do know is that.

The Prius and the hybrid cars does save on gas.

And if that is good for the environment, then by all means, everybody should look into driving

a hybrid car and especially a Prius.

I think that Toyota would, I mean, they would do nothing but benefit from using the song.

If people are going around and when they see a Prius, they say, you know, Prius, I think

that I was, you know, we were able to accomplish something.

And I think that Toyota would be, would benefit immensely from using the video.

Absolutely.

Well, I agree.

I agree with you a hundred percent.

It's one of those things that because of that song, you guys have basically done a three

minute advertisement for a Toyota product that people are forwarding to all their friends.

So, and that, that is pretty amazingly, it's, it's really hard to manufacture something

like that with an ad campaign.

So, we just got to make sure we, we keep pointing it out to them and get somebody to pay some

attention.

Absolutely.

We, I think we, we were actually contacted by one of the factories and they wanted to

put it on their closed circuit television.

Absolutely.

Something to entertain the employees who were building the Prius.

And we love that idea, but I guess they said that in one, one of the shots, I was holding

my crotch and that that was a little too offensive and they couldn't use it.

I don't, and then I looked at it and there's one part where I'm sitting on the hood and

I'm, my, my hand is kind of near my crotch, but it's not really like grabbing it like

a Michael Jackson kind of thing.

I didn't mean it just might've been my rapper pose.

I guess I was just looking too hard for a closed circuit television in a factory.

Not sure.

Oh yeah.

You know, that's, it's really difficult to find something that will appeal to everybody.

But again, you know, when they target a particular demographic, they might have a commercial

that has country music.

When they target another demographic, it might be pop music.

Right.

So they're, they're dealing with that anyway.

So that's, that's interesting that that would have been an issue because certainly this

is about the most non-offensive rap video since Will Smith I've ever seen.

Right.

I mean, there was, there was, it was very PG for sure.

The, uh.

Yeah.

So how many Priuses were actually used in the video?

Uh, we had four.

We were trying to get six and, uh, you know, we, we, we didn't have a lot of time to shoot

the video.

We only had about three hours to shoot the whole thing.

And so, uh, the, the two cars, the, the fifth and sixth cars that were supposed to show

up to the video never made it.

So we ended up using only four, but we bought, you know, we bought the, uh, the special lens

and the mounts to put on the car.

Right.

So those driving shots.

Yeah.

So that way we could see our, our special lenses and special cameras.

So.

Wow.

A lot of work to get this, uh, this out there.

Now, uh, you guys have done a lot of different things.

I was looking at your website and there was something else you've done that I had seen

before, before I knew who you guys were, I'd seen something else.

Um, how does the In My Prius rank compared to the other videos as far as popularity that

you've done?

Um, every time the, um, anytime somebody mentions our website.

And they mentioned the comedy that they love, it, it, you know, obviously the douchebag anthem

is the biggest hitter.

Um, okay.

Uh, that has almost 270,000 hits now.

Uh, the Prius today, I just checked it before I got on to the interview with you and it

was about 98,000 hits.

It's our second most popular, um, popular video.

And I think that with that people associate us with, with those two, two videos.

Um, as far as, as far as songs go.

What would you rather be known as the douchebag guy?

Guys are the Prius guys.

That's a good question.

Um, I, I can't say like a combination of both.

I mean, obviously I'd, I'd rather be known as somebody that enjoys the Prius and makes

fun of douchebags at the same time.

How's that sound?

How about I'm riding into my Prius and making fun of douchebags.

I'm yelling out from the window of my Prius.

You gotta be careful if this, if this got picked up and got used in a national ad campaign,

you guys would be.

Stereotyped forever.

And you'd have to just keep coming out with songs about cars.

Exactly.

I can take a word from careers though, for sure.

Hey, if every car company in the country called me and said, listen, we need a, we need a

rap or a song about our car.

Can you do it?

I will, you know, I'd be sitting in Tahiti right now.

It does amaze me that, that a lot of these, the bigger establishments aren't turning to

guys like casual mafia for things like this, because we've got a whole generation of people

doing these productions.

All these different videos that are getting out there and being circulated.

You guys clearly know how to stumble into something that a lot of times you can't pay a production

marketing company to be able to do.

Yes.

Uh, we, you know, we've, we prided ourselves, um, you know, we didn't go into this blindly,

like a lot of people on YouTube and think that we're just going to do a bunch of sketch comedy

and hope that somebody sees it.

We had a business plan, Paul, Paul Fiori and myself who started the company.

We had a very strong business plan when we walked into it, we knew what we wanted to do a

lot of things.

We knew how to accomplish.

We knew how, at least how we were going to try and get it accomplished.

And none of this is, I don't think it's happening by accident.

You know, I think we covered a lot of our bases, you know, and, um, when the Prius song came

about and when we first got a contact, started getting contacted by certain companies and

people, uh, they were like, you know, we'd like something like the Prius and we, or we'd

like something in that nature.

And, um, basically, you know, because we're comedy based, you know, there's obviously a lot of

people that are looking for comedy commercials, but there are a lot that are, and we're trying

to provide that, that service at, at, without a retainer, without having to spend millions

of dollars on something that we would be able to produce for less expensive.

And that would be a lot more fun and a lot more down to earth that people could associate

with, you know, that's, I think that's an important part in the, uh, the marketplace of the United

States is, you know, we're based on a free market system.

It's keep trying to, to create instead of compete.

Well, the production values are excellent.

It's just amazing.

We've got to the point that, you know, uh, you know, a dozen people can get together,

start doing stuff like this that would have been very difficult for, you know, the MTV

generation 20 years to pull off without spending a hundred thousand dollars.

Absolutely.

So is there anything else you'd like to add about Casual Mafia or the In My Prius video?

I know the song is available on iTunes and Amazon and probably everywhere else.

That was one of the first.

Uh, things I did when I discovered it is I went and wanted to get the song as soon as it was

available.

Right.

Yeah.

You can, uh, you can buy the song on iTunes.

You can, um, we, we like to drive all of our traffic to iTunes as far as music purchasing

goes.

Um, and, uh, all of our, all of our songs are up on iTunes.

Um, the, uh, the In My Prius video, you know, we're just trying to right now, um, uh, the

short-term goal is get it to a hundred thousand hits.

And, you know, within, within 2010, we'd like to get it to a million.

So all of you Prius drivers.

Out there and anybody who's a fan of the song sends it out to whoever many people we can

get this thing viral and get it a million hits.

And hopefully somebody at Toyota or somebody higher up, uh, would love to have it as a

commercial in 2010, 2011, who knows?

I mean, with what's going on with the Prius and with Toyota, uh, I would think that they

would love a fresh start and something fresh and something innovative for their product,

not just run-of-the-mill commercials.

I think that, that this song would, would,

uh, open, uh, doors to a new generation of people looking to drive a Prius.

Well, it's certainly connected in a way that, uh, few cars will ever have a song connected

to them unless you're like little GTO or something back in the sixties.

So brilliant job.

So we'll send everybody to casualmafia.com and watch the video direct off the website.

Is that where you want people to go?

Yeah, absolutely.

Uh, casualmafia.com.

If you click on the, uh, the videos tab on the main page there, it'll send you to our

YouTube channel and all of our videos are up there, including In My Prius, Douchebag Anthem,

Master of the Game.

We have, uh, close to 30 and we release one, a new video every first of the month.

So look for the newest video on March 1st.

Well, excellent.

Well, you know, I appreciate your time.

I'm glad that you were able to talk to me on this little podcast and I hope the folks

at Toyota Live Web will, uh, listen to this episode and pass it on up the chain.

And for everybody else listening, if you haven't seen the video, go see the video and then

send it to all your friends, especially those that, that ever have poked fun at you for

driving a Prius.

Because the video is just...

Superbly well crafted.

You guys really knew what you were hitting in, in the lyrics.

And, and so I'm going to ask this.

I think you answered this in an email earlier, but I'm going to ask this so it can be on

the podcast.

There was some debate early on about the line, um, whether it was not room for my knees or

mad room for my knees.

And I was thinking it had to be not room because people always joke about the Prius not having

leg room, but I believe the correct line is what?

Mad room for my knees.

You actually are rapping about the fact that you can sit in a Prius.

Okay.

And there is room.

There is leg room, which is just amazing.

Absolutely.

The comedian could have gone the other way.

Excellent.

Okay.

Well, thank you so much for your time.

Yeah.

Thank you, Alan.

Appreciate it.

And, uh, you know, good luck and we'll be checking out at casualmafia.com.

Casualmafia.com.

Thank you all very much.

Once again, I'd like to thank Josh Makuga from the Casual Mafia for taking time to speak

with me about their song in my Prius.

Yes.

And if anyone out there can pull some strings at Toyota and get this video, some exposure

there inside the company, I'm sure they'd appreciate it.

Until next time, this is Alan, and this is the PriusCast, and I'll see you at the gas

pump, just not that often.

I pull up behind and you never heard a sound.

You say, who's that boy in the backhand whip?

K-k-k-keeping it green with electric.

In my Prius.

15-inch dubs.

In my Prius.

Dumping my subs.

In my Prius.

Riding to the club.

The beat don't drop until I roll up.

In my Prius.

Flashing my keys.

In my Prius.

Not room for my knees.

In my Prius.

Don't see me ever hit E with my MPGs.

In my Prius.
