The Lonely Island crew of Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone first blew up with their Saturday Night Live shorts, eventually becoming big enough to create incredibly underrated full-length feature films in Hot Rod and Popstar: Never Stop Stopping.

However, their bread and butter will always be shorter videos, typically those involving them writing ridiculous songs, and their latest project is no different. The trio announced a new 27-minute feature on Netflix titled, “The Unauthorized Bash Brothers Experience,” that is now streaming in which Samberg and Schaffer rap and sing as Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire while they were on the Oakland A’s.


The group dropped two of the music videos from the mini-feature on YouTube and they are truly incredible. “Oakland Nights” features Sterling K. Brown as Sia and is truly unbelievable, while the other, “Uniform On,” is an aggressive, NSFW rap about being roided up and having sex. It’s exactly as weird and funny as you’d imagine.

I have not been able to watch the full thing on Netflix yet, but it boasts quite the cast of guest stars, like Haim, Maya Rudolph, Hannah Simone, Jenny Slate, Jim O’Heir and the aforementioned Sterling K Brown as Sia. It even got the Canseco stamp of approval (bonus: you too can now contact Jose’s business manager).
