In the interview, AJR is asked "[If you could] be [another] brother for a day, which brother would it be?" To this, Jack says "Go." and Ryan adds "and why." Jack then laughs and declares "Speed round!" Adam begins to answer the question, "Uh.. I would choose Ryan because he's the most muscular." Jack responds, "I would do.. uh Ryan so I could see what it's like to walk around- uh- in the" Around this time is when the video stops working. The rest will be patched together from memory and may not be completely accurate. Continuing from where Jack left off, "shoes of someone who peaked in high school." Ryan hesitates as Jack eggs him on to say something, and eventually he blurts out "Adam, big penis." To this comment, all three brothers laugh. This is where the clip ends.
The interview begins pretty normal, and while a few jokes are made, most of the beginning is fairly normal for an AJR interview. Towards the end of the interview, AJR is asked a series of questions in a 'Speed round' style. The most notable one being, "If you could switch bodies with a brother for a day, which brother would it be?" To this, Jack says "Go." and Ryan adds "and why." Jack then laughs and declares "Speed round!" Adam begins to answer the question, "Uh.. I would choose Ryan because he's the most muscular." Jack responds, "I would do.. uh Ryan so I could see what it's like to walk around- uh- in- uh the skin of someone who had it kinda hard in high school." After some laughing, Ryan begns. "Oh, God." Jack eggs him on, "Go, go for it." "Adam, big penis." Ryan responds. To this comment, all three brothers laugh. A clip of this had been posted to Twitter by user @apatowimages, but since then the whole interview has been found.

People have described the full interview as being just as chaotic as it is in the short clip, which may be the reason for its initial takedown. Reverse image searching of the small logo in the right corner has come up empty, and the red image used as the background is used too frequently to have any meaningful results.
