I installed an optical drive in my computer recently, and I was playing with my old CDs, and found that Poodle Hat has a data partition, or whatever the hell you call them on CDs. On which is a 6 minute .mov file that takes up about an 8th of the disc's space, in which Al thanks the owner of the disc for buying the album "instead of downloading it like some HOOLIGAN!" And then proceeds to joke over some of his own home movies.

One of the Foo Fighter CDs (I think There Is Nothing Left to Lose in '99) had a clipped version of this video on it. (*NSFW Language)
