What are they talking about?

I DUNNO MAYBE ABOUT RICO RODRIGEZ

What the song is about (snake oil salesmen), where the inspiration for the clip comes from (90's gabber parties, Balinese monkey chant, and Sufi circle dances), how they made the clip (hardest part was getting the lighting right and production took about a year total).
Next they talk a bit about the guy from the video company also being into flying and they show him taking off and landing in an Icarus suit he supposedly built himself. It wasn't real but got around 13M views and was picked up by news agencies all over the place.
Torre mentions it was a bit weird to have the video come out two years after the song and that they were just finishing up a new record. The collaboration between them got started because the video company wanted to use one of their tracks and pay for it, but Torre wanted to collaborate instead because he liked them. The funding for the video came from government subsidies.
