00:01:05.320 say this is the comment section um sponsor us by drew but I'll just say it looks like battery acid

00:01:11.020 and I've never had it out of outside the can it looks like tastes like battery acid I like the way

00:01:15.880 it tastes but it really looks like it looks concerning when it's not in the can honestly

00:01:19.740 they asked us to do because I talk about because I've been drinking celsius so many interviews they

00:01:23.440 asked us to do a um what is that called like a sponsor them or something but now I think they're

00:05:03.000 apart so like her you're the youngest no I'm the middle child are you the middle yeah we have a

00:05:07.720 younger brother there was a PA honest on a movie once that I was like staring and I was like are we

00:05:22.660 related and she was kind of like had like a little bit like my voice and I'm like huh I didn't ask

00:05:27.880 that's a really weird story don't want to pull up that thread just in case I waited for the comments

00:05:33.160 actually yeah well my sister and I what I was saying was we went through a phase where we talked

00:05:40.000 on the phone a lot and whenever she didn't want to talk anymore but she didn't want to say I don't

00:05:44.620 want to talk anymore she would go well I gotta poop and then and then I probably like the eighth or

00:05:50.800 tenth time she did it to me I was like no you don't and then she started laughing and then yeah

00:05:56.580 then she was like I just can't lie about something like that I love that she's more ashamed about

00:06:00.440 getting off the phone right then tell me yeah then loudly announcing to the room I gotta poop yeah and

00:06:06.520 then when I said no you don't she goes well I'm just like I'm done I'm done talking well then say

00:06:11.320 that bitch what the fuck like we don't have to sit here we're not strangers who's the one who forces

00:06:15.020 the other off the phone more she forces me off the phone more I would say love that what do you

00:06:19.200 think yeah I mean it depends if she's going through something but you're youngest oh you're

00:06:24.700 oldest oldest yeah all those forces you have interesting yeah which is interesting who talks

00:06:29.720 more like on the phone call do you both equally share I say we're equal probably like 50 50 on the

00:06:34.560 middle no one's the chatty Kathy not really like we're both kind of chatty Kathy's I would say

00:06:39.760 and Nana are like that Nana are like that it's very overlapping and then right I'm like all right

00:06:44.820 I never spoke for the rest of the entire interview I'm like like like whatever he says

00:06:51.360 sometimes we well we have a podcast together too and so sometimes we'll talk over each other but we

00:06:58.260 still hear what the other person said our sibling thing uh Alex's girlfriend Rozzy says that it feels

00:07:05.220 like she's um third wheeling when she hangs out with us my man says that all the time about the two of

00:07:10.280 us like he's literally like you guys don't even yeah one time I was telling my sister about a really

00:07:15.380 embarrassing uh video I had found or I had made of myself accidentally and I deleted it I mean I made

00:07:22.220 a video like I was recording myself and something horrifying happened that was horrifying in a way to me

00:07:26.420 that felt very humiliating we need like a little bit more detail okay I'll just tell you the details

00:07:31.160 so basically I was not all of them necessarily just right well you're gonna be sorry you asked

00:07:35.720 I was trying to film myself do something and when I turned around I had a wedgie that could only be

00:07:43.700 described as cataclysmic so it was really humiliating to me because I'd been walking around in that dress

00:07:48.340 all night and I have no idea how many wedgies I was holding that whole night that's just my that's just

00:07:52.260 my truth it's just my tea I still don't understand the story at all I just I caught my own wedgie on

00:07:57.040 camera I guess is the the story got it yeah accidentally I'm just trying to figure that

00:08:01.360 out because it's like well I don't know do you put wedgies on on intentionally or do they just

00:08:05.540 kind of happen to you it just kind of happen to me but I'm more of an intentional way when I press

00:08:10.980 record I'm more of like an intentional wedgie guy just because I'm like yeah today's a little boring

00:08:16.340 it's like a fun hat I gotta I gotta wedge when I'm spice on my outfit I give myself a wedgie that kind

00:08:21.180 of deal yeah I get it yeah it's a long dinner this is a boring yeah let's spice it up let's do

00:08:25.500 some weird don't listen to this episode basically that video was so humiliating to me I deleted it

00:08:33.160 and then I wished I hadn't so I could just show my sister so we could laugh about it but then when

00:08:37.440 we were talking about it after she goes would you have shown it to me and I go I would have only

00:08:41.480 shown it to you I wouldn't have shown it to anyone else she's like not even Billy like my fiance and I

00:08:46.080 go no fuck no I wouldn't show him but I would show my sibling for sure I would right you guys have

00:08:51.040 that kind of bond I would wait can we take this whole story from the top tell it from the beginning

00:08:54.320 I wouldn't show that my wedgie I don't think no I mean unless I guess it was an intentional wedgie

00:08:59.440 which I've never done yet but you should try it the night is young I think it's also the context

00:09:04.380 of it because the dress I like I was wearing see the context is the thing we keep bumping up against

00:09:08.760 like the context is what we're not getting what was the context because I feel like you guys are

00:09:13.060 film growing my story about having a wedgie on camera you guys are analyzing it as if it's a film

00:09:19.180 we need to dissect it's notes on a scene but it's my video of my wedgie you guys have any of those

00:09:24.300 little cards can we get some note cards you need a highlighter so you can write on it be like this

00:09:29.420 every picture is a frame siblings siblings I if I gave you the context I really do feel it would make

00:09:38.120 it more confusing if I'm being honest but I was I was hosting something for Pandora jewelry and I was

00:09:43.320 wearing a really fancy dress that I guess was giving me wedgies all night and you wanted to film the

00:09:47.260 dress yeah well I filmed the dress after I got home from set of I get it you were doing like a little

00:09:51.540 spin around no no the context changed everything the context it could have been a one minute story

00:09:57.060 yeah yeah 45 minutes well one minute I mean including you guys interrupting it it definitely

00:10:02.600 wouldn't have been one minute either way context no context my story about my wedgie is like it's

00:10:10.840 pretty nuts to watch in live live watching it live happen watch it live but I do want to talk to y'all

00:10:16.960 about just your general lore for those that aren't familiar let's do it um since you guys have been

00:10:22.440 since you guys were like a band as kids like did you guys come up with the idea or was it just kind

00:10:28.060 of something that happened I'm just curious the name or just all of it just generally I um I mean

00:10:35.080 since we were little kids my my dad says that when I was like in my mom's belly he used to play

00:10:40.580 beatles music and felonious monk and like all these different and then I started um I started a band

00:10:46.900 with my friends in preschool and I was like I don't want my brother in it and then at three or four

00:10:53.140 years old Alex was a better musician than anybody else in like our entire school god I guess you're in

00:10:58.080 so I was like ah I guess I gotta get rid of these nepotism happening even though yeah exactly yeah

00:11:03.600 and then literal nepo baby a literal and figurative um and then uh and then yeah and then we started

00:11:12.700 kind of uh making music and then and and it really just kind of became the two of us and we graduated

00:11:20.420 out of the show um just started touring as Nat and Alex Wolfe and then we've you know it's been

00:11:26.060 basically the the highlight of of my life getting to make music with Alex and put out these albums and

00:11:32.500 yeah it's been amazing and we've been we were we were really inspired our dad's a jazz musician too

00:11:36.860 and uh it was kind of for me at least wanting to be a drummer was watching all these amazing

00:11:42.200 jazz drummers that I saw my dad play with and Mike Clark and Victor Jones and people and then the

00:11:47.620 Beatles they just would watch those Beatles movies and kind of imitate what Ringo did and that's kind

00:11:52.880 of but as kids Alex in an interview said uh you know Ringo taught me how to play the drums because

00:11:57.340 he'd been watching videos of it and then on Wikipedia I think it still says Ringo taught me

00:12:01.540 Ringo taught Alex Wolfe how to play the drums and we were like 100 years old yeah can you imagine

00:12:06.260 look at my face they're like that's old enough yeah you just used a Ouija board to bring him down

00:12:11.320 so he could teach you Ringo's alive so Ringo's alive yeah yeah I wouldn't need a wouldn't need a

00:12:16.040 Ouija board that was tough my bad that was tough that's tough I don't know if you could tell by looking

00:12:20.720 at me no check the news no yeah or what if I predicted it imagine well tomorrow well also I don't know

00:12:27.000 take it down take it down could tell by looking at me I'm not a big Beatles fan I don't know if

00:12:31.320 you could tell by just looking at me

00:12:32.780 I won't say fan I'll say like I'm not as well versed there we go see that's a better way to say

00:12:42.660 uh yeah you lying you will be no you know what I have said I haven't said I didn't like the Beatles

00:12:47.780 what I have said and I've joked about I'll make you a playlist of all these Beatles songs that you

00:12:51.720 that are kind of more of the I want growing the Beatles too

00:12:56.400 no that will make it will make more sense to me I would love that yeah I think that would be

00:13:03.200 wonderful I've talked about it with Caleb Heron are you guys familiar familiar with Caleb Heron

00:13:07.020 he's a comedian but he's really funny I I love that you're like the only people who have ever

00:13:11.380 been on this show that probably don't know who he is that actually brings me a lot of joy I'm

00:13:15.160 going to tell him that later oh Jesus um but I joked about it with him because he's really funny

00:13:18.960 and we did like a live show together and I just said like um about the Beatles yeah it was about

00:13:24.040 the Beatles but I didn't say they were bad I just said I felt like there were other artists

00:13:27.260 that I liked more that are more iconic that's okay that's that's fine yeah that's different like

00:13:32.660 you said I don't like the Beatles that's a look at them getting pissed off oh you guys who is the

00:13:36.900 artist sorry two Beatles who are your who is the who are the artists that are the most

00:13:41.660 iconic for you um Prince is one I literally was gonna I was thought yeah I thought you were

00:13:48.420 gonna I won you back I lost them in the first half I won them back it's Beatles and then like

00:13:51.920 Prince is probably yeah they're pretty close yeah I would say Prince was a big one for me

00:13:56.500 yeah I'm trying to think of like old we got to see Prince live right before he died

00:14:00.080 and it was like he played like 30 instruments it was insane yeah my mom got to see him live right

00:14:06.340 before he passed too I remember that was the only time she got to see him live that's my mom's

00:14:09.920 favorite artist really the greatest and he's my favorite guitar player of all time by far

00:14:14.340 I've been on a big kick with Prince lately it reminded me um which album when I watched the

00:14:19.000 Stranger Things finale it reminded me I was like I gotta get back into listening to more

00:14:22.920 Oh yeah there's Purple Rain yeah why do they have it they have a Purple Rain yeah they like

00:14:26.460 use Purple Rain and When Doves Cry oh my god they used both that's too great that album is so

00:14:31.120 I know the little synth in the beginning that album Purple Rain Purple Rain yeah god damn that

00:14:36.360 album is amazing I would say that's so amazing um period period I won you guys back though you did

00:14:41.860 oh wait do you know this Prince thing oh god this is this is stupid but it's it's I would die for

00:14:49.200 you no I did not know that okay never mind well if real Prince fans know it now I have to learn it

00:14:54.520 we just film broed Prince you guys are going to do it to all of the topics we talk about I'm sure

00:14:59.760 why not um yep the I work with uh I'm working with Lamorne Morris who's in Jumanji and he was telling

00:15:07.320 me great stories because Prince was on New Girl did you know him oh yeah I forgot he was just telling

00:15:11.640 me some amazing stories that's one of my favorite he was in love with CC remember like he just sounds

00:15:16.540 everything you want him to be and and also like not uh unapproachable it seemed like he was very

00:15:22.400 like a real person but also just like the greatest artist to ever live and the cool thing about those

00:15:27.460 early Prince albums is he it's not just that he wrote the songs sang them played all the instruments

00:15:33.900 he also mixed and I know I think I think engineered I think can mix them and maybe even

00:15:38.780 like master them like it came up with all him he designed every single costume for not just him but

00:15:43.880 like the whole band and all the background singers and all the dancers any a man of many hats yeah a

00:15:49.760 jack of all trades he's really the best I know I saw a lot of stories I saw a tiktok of someone

00:15:53.880 talking it was like a DJ and he was telling a story about how he used to spin in New York all the

00:15:58.380 time and sometimes Prince would come in and ask to like to spin yeah to spin imagine he was like

00:16:04.180 no yeah and he said I would get and he said that was when we would bring our own records to spin and

00:16:09.500 like I brought a bootleg Prince one once even though he never let people spin his music and then he

00:16:14.000 ended up coming to watch my set and then he's like and I thought he was gonna like kill me or

00:16:18.020 something wait he didn't let people spin he like just didn't like that when people sampled his music

00:16:22.260 yeah I think so and that was like at the time they I kind of get that like what if it's mixed in

00:16:26.440 so did you get to meet him what is love no I didn't unfortunately I didn't I'm not a hundred

00:16:31.000 like you guys so unfortunately I didn't get to meet him I was like not even a baby yet I wasn't even

00:16:35.520 born yet but back to the Naked Brothers band uh or just generally music in general like what's your

00:16:41.780 favorite part of making music together I mean there's there's two highlights one of them is is

00:16:48.640 being in the studio I mean the writing is really fun separately and then kind of working together but my

00:16:53.040 favorite thing is when you get in the studio and have to actually make the song you know so you have

00:16:59.280 to kind of make it stand up you can't just have it as a thing in your head an idea or whatever you

00:17:05.160 gotta you gotta do something and I also love the pressure of like when you go in the studio we always

00:17:11.060 leave with something you know we and and the way Nat and I work usually I think we're now like trying

00:17:16.640 different ways of working but the way we work usually is like we're gonna do like a song a day

00:17:21.240 sometimes two songs and it's two of us so it's not like a band right um and so we're like just

00:17:26.860 going one instrument at a time very quickly and kind of like running I yeah and we did that for

00:17:33.700 this record we did it for the last record I think yeah I mean I I like changing it up I like evolving

00:17:42.400 like now we're starting to try something else like using our band where we're doing it live and that's

00:17:47.180 cool too um whatever we do for a while then suddenly I get an itch to do the opposite thing

00:17:53.020 of like let's go with a band and then let's like overdub it for a month whatever do the opposite thing

00:17:57.640 but there's something very special about the process of me and Nat going in sometimes the songs we know

00:18:04.700 like there's stuff that we gotta change yeah and you go in and you just see what happens and

00:18:10.940 sometimes the producer will help sometimes you know engineer will have ideas or stuff but

00:18:16.640 usually it's me and Nat just like putting our heads together and we gotta figure this out by

00:18:21.960 you know lunch because we're gonna try another song so that's for me really fun and then also

00:18:26.740 for me probably yeah for me probably the most exciting is the live you know we got speaking of

00:18:31.500 you having your whole family here we got to play when we were opening for Billy we got to play um at

00:18:37.140 Madison Square Garden my whole life I'd we'd gone to Madison Square Garden a million times to see

00:18:42.040 Knicks games to see and I saw Billy Joel there when I was a kid I saw Paul McCartney who I think you

00:18:47.120 hate um I saw Prince there honestly and I remember as a little kid saying to my dad like this is like

00:18:53.560 my dream my dream one day I want to be and then we got to go on stage there and on the third night of

00:19:00.340 playing there I brought my dad up and he played a jazz he played like kind of a jazzy version the piano

00:19:06.000 solo on a song that I wrote about him and his his uh cancer and his battle with cancer and stuff so

00:19:11.940 it was like kind of a full childhood dream come true like yeah how beautiful yeah oh my god was

00:19:17.320 everyone so emotional everyone was emotional there was a secure there was the funniest part is it's

00:19:22.160 the most emotional thing in the world and everyone's like really teary and so then someone runs on to

00:19:26.400 get a picture and I think Nat was like I had my in ears and yeah in ears and they and the guy kept

00:19:32.600 tapping that like we're gonna take a picture of Alex I thought he was telling me that we were

00:19:36.000 running late and we had to go and literally so just misses it so there's this picture there's

00:19:40.660 this amazing picture and it's just Alex and my dad and I'm not in the picture because laughing like

00:19:45.040 can I get a picture and then I go all right we got to get going thank you so much

00:19:48.200 the audience knew that it was a picture too so like they're all standing up like like that

00:19:54.280 even the audience is posing that's like tuning a guitar like getting ready for the next song

00:19:58.620 you're grinding it out what are you gonna do you're on the clock so now my dad has this really

00:20:02.060 sweet picture and it's like this big audience and it's yeah Alex and my dad singing and I'm in the

00:20:07.420 background like working you're yeah working he's working you're locked in the room yeah you're clocked

00:20:13.060 but we but there's this um there was like a bunch of security guards and they had been like so

00:20:18.980 stone-faced the whole time and like go quite right by the stage and then they're just sobbing oh my god

00:20:24.420 that's really sweet yeah that's one of those moments when you're like this is the coolest

00:20:29.620 thing I think I've ever done or maybe will ever do or will ever do so then right after you're like

00:20:34.100 uh-oh I literally walked up stage and I was like what oh no what else what else is there I know I

00:20:42.340 guess I guess that kind of answers my next question because I was going to ask what's what's been the

00:20:45.560 coolest thing that you've done working together as other than this podcast other than this I would

00:20:50.400 say comment section comment section the comment section has to be yeah obviously well easy I like

00:20:55.100 the part where we talked about print I like the part where you said we film bro footage of my

00:21:00.100 footage of my footage

00:21:01.380 yeah that's what you guys are doing on the comment section and that beats your dad at Madison Square

00:21:07.560 Garden so tell him I said to eat it tell him he can eat it yeah exactly I do have to mention a quick

00:21:13.800 pivot uh the movie hereditary that is I would say the scariest movie I've probably seen in my entire

00:21:21.540 life pretty scary so I guess I just want to thank you and also let you know that was fucked up yeah

00:21:26.820 I know that's what uh that's what Jack Black said to me on this set of this movie he said the first

00:21:32.320 thing he said was like dude you ruined about two or three weeks of my life literally two or three weeks

00:21:37.120 of my life where I felt really really really uneasy and genuinely I was like so remember I'm still

00:21:42.960 having an allergy attack but I'm listening I saw it as an adult obviously and I could not sleep for

00:21:48.720 like a week straight God bless you I had just I was sitting next to him at the premiere and he brought

00:21:53.660 me as his date to the premiere and I just kept being like

00:21:56.740 me at my movie premiere

00:22:03.300 you know that is it felt like you were doing that shit to me after I watched that movie that's

00:22:14.280 I felt like I had to look at you going like that and I was pissed off about it it was it's heavy

00:22:18.260 stuff but you were fantastic in it though like genuinely you were amazing he's so amazing Ari Aster

00:22:23.560 he's such a such a and he's a great guy too really great guy and the movie itself was incredible

00:22:28.800 snubbed at the Oscars I will say that and I can I think he was too he should at least like best

00:22:34.220 original screenplay or something he did such a good job has he gotten nominated no I don't think

00:22:39.740 he's ever been nominated you and Toni Collette unbelievable yeah she would have that was unfair

00:22:44.660 too but Joaquin got nominated I think for Bo's Afraid at the Golden Globes or something so that was

00:22:50.480 which one Bo's Afraid is his third oh I think he got nominated but I know and I thought Florence

00:22:57.000 should have been nominated for Midsommar and yeah that's great I just like had never I tell

00:23:02.420 I still to this day that was like when it came out 2018 yeah when I saw it in theaters my sister was

00:23:09.140 like we should go watch this movie I think it's going to be awesome and I was like is it scary

00:23:12.720 because I don't she's like no I heard that it's scary no she really goes I really don't think so no

00:23:17.840 after like the first 30 minutes I was I looked at her I go how much longer is there

00:23:23.840 she's like two hours yeah she's like no there's what else could happen yeah you're like a lot yes

00:23:29.480 I was explaining the plot of that to my hair and makeup artist this morning and he was like

00:23:34.080 every time I was explaining the plot of Hereditary to him because he's too scared to watch it so I

00:23:38.700 was just explaining I thought it was even more the moment where he smashes his head yeah on the desk

00:23:43.560 over the moment with a girl with yeah yeah but um yeah I still don't I we still don't say it just

00:23:48.980 in case there's some people who haven't seen it and um who hasn't seen it no for real there's people

00:23:54.380 Jen Jen she's too scared but that she's purposefully honestly and I say this with love Jen don't watch

00:24:00.100 it yeah because it is the scariest it's just the scariest movie I've ever seen in my entire life

00:24:06.760 section she's like I hate the Beatles don't watch their movies basically fuck the two of you and uh

00:24:12.420 appreciate you coming on the show I guess yeah good luck with your wedgies don't watch it it's scary

00:24:17.280 but come on when people do love scary movies I tell them watch that one it's unbelievable the movie

00:24:22.260 itself is incredible obviously it's just so scary I couldn't sleep for weeks it was insane I just had

00:24:27.660 to tell you that before you ruined a couple weeks and I'm sorry can I ruin another please moment when

00:24:31.800 at the premiere when she was on the ceiling you'd have to know no no no that's fine yeah when she

00:24:37.240 was on the ceiling I literally wanted to die there was something about that where I wanted to die

00:24:43.320 yeah that also me too because I don't watch many horror movies either I've watched like the old ones

00:24:48.560 I already am battered you know I already have the whatever and then the next thing is like

00:25:50.800 because like I don't I don't I definitely don't take edibles like I've smoked like weed but edibles

00:25:55.400 are like really out of my comfort zone but I told my mom I'm like I'm gonna take an edible and she

00:26:51.860 you just go absolutely bonkers so I go into the theater whatever and we take these edibles

00:26:56.500 and right as the lights go down I start to feel like um what are you having a horse no I was

00:28:03.320 yeah and they just give me a look like that like it's it's all over so then we're five minutes in

00:28:08.620 to the movie and I'm like and then I'm starting to think like wow this is amazing look at the

00:28:13.040 colors whatever and then I go oh my god this is a horror movie I'm like oh shit I'm like maybe it

00:28:18.020 won't get scary this time I was like maybe this time everything will go right change the ending yeah

00:28:21.860 maybe they change the ending and then there's that scene do you remember the scene in

00:28:24.840 rosemary's baby where they go to this guy's house I didn't remember the scene at all they go

00:28:29.780 to a guy's house and he goes hey don't go to that building because there are like satanic rituals

00:28:36.480 that happen and both of them get like mad at the guy they're like no no it's fine we're fine and I

00:28:41.640 was like they're warned I was like they're warned people get warned people get warned and they do it

00:28:48.800 anyway and this is what happens to people and this is why and I stood up and I was like I'm going home

00:28:53.880 in the middle of the theater and my friends go what I just walk out and suddenly my legs are

00:28:58.720 just started calling me over and over my legs are changing shapes and whatever and then the IFC

00:29:03.220 theater guys were there and they were like waving at me and I remember waving out and going

00:29:07.800 like that and then and then I go and I get in a taxi and then I say to the guy I go I go oh I was

00:29:15.100 like now we're in my home he's like what I was like oh my god I have to give him an address and

00:29:19.980 numbers and I call my mom and I was like mom you know people are worn things blah blah blah and my

00:29:25.180 mom goes like oh oh you're on an edible just enjoy it sweetie and hangs up and I'm like enjoy it what

00:29:32.140 do you mean um you're in a k-hole and your mom's like have fun have fun honey and nothing worked

00:29:39.640 except that I basically turned on uh Jeff Buckley grace I had one of the album and a record and I

00:29:46.140 took out the record and I somehow did it and played it and then I calmed down sounds like you

00:29:51.560 were shrooming low-key well then I found out like any edible optic I know it was literally more intense

00:29:56.580 than shrooms that's anything it was really I don't know I've done those drugs I got weed in New York

00:30:05.080 once that did almost kill me like that so I wouldn't be surprised if it had that same York it's not

00:30:10.100 like they don't have the science that's an amazing story there's so many elements to that story too

00:30:14.380 because a lot of beats it's like there's so many beats it's like I'm going home I'm going to the

00:30:19.460 bathroom that's what I said I stood up and went I'm going to the bathroom loudly and then I left

00:30:24.540 I went and got in a taxi my friends are like dude where are you you okay and then I was getting

00:30:29.760 texts from all my friends being like did you talk to Alex did you talk to Alex he called every single

00:30:33.640 one of our friends he ran out of here like waving his arms above grandpa I had weed in New York once

00:30:40.280 that was like my my fiance and I took edibles but we bought them from like a dispensary I don't know if it

00:30:45.360 was a real one now and if I could I would bomb that place now but it was like why did you put dispensary

00:30:50.340 in quotes this is just some because I don't know what the hell they're selling in there but whatever it was

00:30:54.160 they gave me made me an insane person for like two days straight yeah me too so I remember taking it and

00:31:00.220 then I was like wow I like I feel it a little but not that much I only took one and then I was like let me take

00:31:06.060 another half so I took another half that's the last thing I remember I wake up the next morning

00:31:11.660 my flight is supposed to leave at like 5 a.m. so I was supposed to get up at like 3 and so I wake up

00:31:16.600 and my fiance has hooded eyes so his eyes are very small like they're like almond and like and I can

00:31:22.320 barely see his pupils I was like oh my god like I woke up fucked up I felt so like insane and I felt

00:31:28.180 like I was looking through a pinhole and so I was like babe wake up wake up I think something's wrong

00:31:32.480 and he turned around and his eyes were open so wide I could see all the way and he looked at me

00:31:37.880 he's like yeah I'm fucked up

00:31:39.260 mind you like I'm like a pan I'm a worry person I'm a panicker so when he's panicking oh bitch we're

00:31:48.980 never making it home I love that him he's like yeah yeah he's like yeah yeah I'm definitely fucked up

00:31:53.280 and I was like why would you say that to me and I like got up to go to the bathroom

00:31:56.780 and I remember the the bathroom in the hotel we had for some reason the the toilet was in another

00:32:02.740 room like a room on the opposite side of the room from the shower no so I go in the room with the

00:32:08.240 toilet but all of the walls are black so I like sat on the toilet I wasn't even going to the bathroom

00:32:13.520 I was just sitting there and I felt like I was like spinning and like falling down a k-hole for real

00:32:18.420 and I was like looking at all these edibles in New York because my friend called me the next day

00:32:23.840 and said hey dude I went blind for 20 minutes I went what do you mean he goes dude I went blind

00:32:29.040 I couldn't see my hands because I just saw light I just saw light he goes that movie's amazing half

00:32:35.040 of it was just blue light I was like dude you went blind I'm like do we have to sue these people

00:32:40.700 that's what I'm saying I literally felt like that and then I came out and I was supposed to leave and

00:32:44.780 I was panicking I was like if I go to the airport they're gonna arrest me because I look and sound

00:32:50.220 insane and so I called my mom I love you waking up to him he's like yeah I'm fucked up he's like yeah I'm

00:32:56.000 fucked up yeah and he's like I've been up for an hour my eyes his eyes wide open he's just been staring

00:33:01.320 into the darkness for the last hour and a half and then I had to move my flight but my sister and my

00:33:06.800 hair and makeup artist were with me so like I sent them ahead of us like they flew without us

00:33:10.880 I had to take a later flight I don't even remember getting ready packing and I remember my man when we

00:33:16.900 were leaving he had the most insane outfit on like he had these bright green like cargo pants

00:33:23.340 why I know he had those I don't know like he couldn't really figure out yeah like he was just

00:33:27.900 like I need to put clothes on that's it so he's just the fact that he got them on was impressive

00:33:32.540 and then he had on a black sweater but it was mine so it was cropped in half so his like stomach's

00:33:38.400 hanging out and then he had a bright like chocolate brown backpack on and I was like fire yeah and I was

00:33:44.620 looking at it I still light open I was looking at I was like you got to change he goes if I take

00:33:48.640 these off I'm not making it so yeah he's like don't worry my clothes won't melt off yeah I can't

00:33:55.220 take them off they're a part of me now they're sewn to my body now and then I don't remember getting

00:33:59.780 to the airport I don't remember walking through the airport I remember coming online again in the

00:34:04.300 lounge and a fan had come up to me and was in the middle of talking to me so I don't and I'm here

00:34:10.300 yeah and I was like now I'm open my eyes I'm here she's actively talking to me I'm like huh huh

00:34:15.160 were you looking at like details of her face and stuff I don't even remember voice yeah I was

00:34:19.720 focusing on her voice and the noises around yeah yeah it sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher

00:34:25.120 you're like absolutely and I remember thinking sorry that happened yeah I'm thinking to myself I have to

00:34:34.460 look like I'm engaged in this so I was going you're like and then at one point I felt like she

00:34:40.440 went she at one point she stopped talking looked at me and then she went are you okay and then I

00:34:45.020 went oh nightmare yeah never ask someone that yeah that's the worst thing yes yes of course I am

00:34:51.180 and then she left and I turned and I was asking my fiancee I'm like did I look insane like I was about

00:34:56.660 to ask him I look at him he's like yeah you're on fire you look insane you're a jaguar you're a

00:35:05.580 jaguar he literally laid face down he was laying face down on the table so I was like when I looked

00:35:11.260 at him so then I went hey did you see that and then he goes see what and I'm all forget it he's

00:35:15.960 like what the molecules beneath this table yeah he was like I'm just realizing now people do things

00:35:21.680 people are warned about things and then they don't know about things exactly wait wait are you

00:35:27.040 serious he did kind of say that to me yeah that's my that was my big scary awakening really brings

00:35:32.280 you into we had the same and I didn't experience the blindness but thankfully I just loved it my

00:35:37.040 friend was like I think it was even more like and they're they're very quiet so I was like hey

00:35:40.860 man how was it good good dude I went blind for like 20 minutes so that kind of stuff that was

00:35:47.800 kind of confusing yeah that was weird but then after a while is fine well you know what I'll say

00:35:52.260 all that to say I'm glad you're alive you live to tell the tale yeah I definitely haven't revisited

00:35:56.640 the movie though it really stuck with me but I kind of feel like that was the purpose I couldn't

00:36:00.320 have had a more you know you couldn't have had a closer film bro experience literally I'm getting

00:36:06.920 to be inside that would be a hilarious letterbox review it's like yeah went blind for 20 minutes

00:36:11.180 not sure went blind for 20 minutes four out of five people say this is a classic went blind for

00:36:16.420 20 minutes still giving it four out of five one time I watched interstellar high which was crazy

00:36:22.240 but when I when I watched it I know Matt Damon is also an interstellar and he's also in the

00:36:28.000 martian and for some reason I thought that I came up with the martian so when I was watching

00:36:33.440 interstellar I was like he should be in a movie called the martian like as I'm watching it I love that

00:36:38.140 and then I was like wow he would be amazing in that I've never seen the martian mind you so I

00:36:42.060 don't know what happens in it but I was like he is in it and it is a movie and he's on the movie

00:36:45.760 poster yeah and it's like an orange filter on the poster that's all I remember you just start like

00:36:50.060 describing the poster right so I was thinking all this in my head should be on an orange filtered

00:36:53.780 yeah we should get this greenlit tomorrow someone get Hollywood on the phone I have a big idea for

00:37:00.520 them and then I was thinking about the martian and then I go well I didn't I forgot Matt Damon was in

00:37:05.440 this movie and then my man goes yeah like in the martian and then I went how did you know that

00:37:09.880 who told you about the martian and he goes the movie and I go never mind

00:37:14.420 slowly you're like I might be off on this one I was like they got to before me they got to the

00:37:20.920 martian before me how did they do that you can't even have thoughts privately anymore big brothers

00:37:25.160 always watching me but anyways back to your music please tell me about the new album anyway you hate

00:37:30.260 the Beatles yes yes can y'all tell me like what this new what you would like people to take away

00:37:36.700 from this new album if anything um I think whatever what whatever they they take away with it because

00:37:45.240 I think um from it because I you know a lot of my friends have listened to it and had different uh

00:37:51.380 interpretations they've kind of felt the emotion that we were trying to put out but they've you know

00:37:56.020 taken their own or they've kind of put their own personal experiences into a lot of the songs and

00:38:03.020 stuff that we didn't even think about but maybe we did kind of I think it's our first time on an album

00:38:08.840 just based on the age that we are in the the the you know kind of transitionary period of life that

00:38:16.600 we're in that I think it's the first time that in our songs and in the lyrics and in the way that we

00:38:22.340 approached it it was kind of like looking back on our childhood in our past and like even the way

00:38:26.980 that we wrote a lot of these songs was similar to how I wrote them when I was a little kid which is

00:38:31.040 trying to really um get out of my head and like you know playing piano in a way where I'm only focusing

00:38:38.660 on the way things sound and not you know because as you start to learn more about chords and music and

00:38:45.400 stuff you end up a lot of times going more in a in a you know they're just patterns that that you find

00:38:51.440 whereas when I was a kid I was kind of like basically just going off of shapes and sounds

00:38:56.140 and feeling and so trying to get back to that in the studio and then a lot of times reflecting on

00:39:01.980 in the song writing reflecting on our childhood and our bond with each other and how that affects

00:39:08.340 our romantic relationships now and things you know amazing things that happened when we were

00:39:13.140 uh kids that were really grateful for and then also really traumatic things that happened that

00:39:17.940 you know stick with you and and kind of connecting to that music that we made when we were kids and

00:39:24.860 and uh imbuing that into what we're making now uh kind of felt like coming home in this really

00:39:31.860 amazing way yeah very cool I'm excited it's interesting pouring our hearts out while there's this

00:39:36.920 military coup upstairs there literally I watched two well the crew of the ship is unloading up

00:39:43.020 there literally was two different sides of angry people running towards are they doing maybe

00:39:47.880 they're doing like an event up they have I think they're having a like they're larping upstairs or

00:39:52.100 something there's literally there's literally like 20 people over there and 20 people over

00:39:55.820 and they're running towards red rovering back in our literally that's what it felt like and they're

00:40:00.020 running and fighting and well I'm really excited to hear that I think that's really what are you guys

00:40:05.300 most proud of off this album is it like your collaboration is it lyrics is it melodies just the body of work

00:40:12.940 as a whole I think the I think honestly the body of work as a whole the way you know I love a lot of

00:40:19.280 you know the music that we've made in the last couple years especially since COVID when we were living

00:40:25.300 together and um but this definitely to me feels like the most complete um body of work and it feels the

00:40:32.280 um closest to what's in our heads you know and like the way that and the way that we wanted to

00:40:39.840 make an album and we set out and and did it and it was you know definitely not easy and we kept you

00:40:45.920 know we kept pushing the release so we could because just something didn't feel right and then at a

00:40:49.280 certain point it just clicked nice um and uh I'm I'm really proud of it and and uh the reaction to it

00:40:58.620 has been you know and even if it wasn't I would still be really proud of it but the reaction to it

00:41:03.280 has been so amazing that is like um and see ya bye is it something I said or yeah the reaction to it

00:41:12.480 not today she's gonna go yell at the people yes tell them to shut the fuck up as she should

00:41:17.300 honestly which is funny when we were making the last two songs the album whole other life and

00:41:21.480 horse there was a guy I swear to god we were in a studio in Brooklyn and there was a guy above

00:41:27.980 learning to play the guitar and once in a while we would just hear the worst guitar playing you've

00:41:33.920 ever heard in your life it was intentionally it would be like it would be no it's like he didn't

00:41:38.180 know how to play and he'd be like c to f like so loud and then we started taking a broom and just

00:41:45.320 hitting it against the top of the thing hey we're recording vocal yeah go ahead and workshop on the

00:41:51.420 wall that's totally what it was it was like what's the white stripes line guitar center the white

00:41:56.760 stripes you're like you don't need the amp go home the fucking amp was so loud yeah you don't need

00:42:07.300 the amp with like so much distortion and shit and you're like dude you sound terrible you could put

00:42:11.560 all the pedals in the world and it's like bleeding into the fucking thing my little brother can play

00:42:16.080 the guitar um and he for the longest time only knew like two songs uh which was when he was

00:42:22.800 learning which one of them was imagine dragons it was demons by just a young book oh no that's not

00:42:28.400 it was demons it's that's where my demons hide that's that's where my demons yeah and my brother

00:42:33.140 can't sing so he would be singing that loud and like learning how to play just that one and i think

00:42:38.200 the other one was a johnny cash song do you remember what song which one was it ring of fire hotel

00:42:44.280 eagles eagles no it wasn't that one it was a johnny cash song she's like ringo is dead ring of fire

00:42:49.660 and uh yeah me not johnny cash wrote hotel it's honestly anyone's guess at this point but was it

00:42:55.560 hotel california that was one of them yeah but and demons but he also used to play ring of fire i

00:43:00.860 think by johnny cash wow all the time and it was just like quite the that's a big big jump from

00:43:07.120 imagine dragons you know what they say hotel california ring of fire and demons

00:43:11.140 the three songs you take on a desert island

00:43:14.720 one of them has to be an imagine dragons thing i like to ask this question to all my guests it has

00:43:20.720 nothing to do with anything we've been talking about what's your favorite thing about imagine

00:43:24.020 dragons right and what's your favorite imagine dragon song no it's honestly all my guests

00:43:28.820 yeah yeah except imagine don't ask them that yeah um no i want to know do you guys think you would

00:43:36.700 survive in a zombie apocalypse nope by by will or just like you just don't want to or just like

00:43:42.660 skill set by will we wouldn't survive yeah like you just i would try to survive no we're not like

00:43:46.680 saying we're not like suicidal oh well i would no it would it would just they would just take us we

00:43:52.060 wouldn't you know because i did the quiet place movie and yes i died pretty quickly you did and then

00:43:58.700 it was funny because they were saying like of course in the quiet movie of course you died

00:44:03.000 yeah you especially yeah of course your brother's like well yeah yeah yeah for sure yeah no if it was

00:44:08.440 like that i'm for sure dead in a minute but like i'm more so asking if you would have the will to

00:44:13.680 survive because i every time i talk about that question i always say like um as soon as my phone

00:44:18.360 dies i'm killing myself like i'm out don't need it anymore it's all right wait as soon as your phone

00:44:22.880 dies you're gonna kill yourself in a zombie apocalypse oh but now like runs out of battery yes

00:44:26.840 runs out of battery yeah like essentially because i'm assuming there's no more electricity

00:44:31.040 or anything no you can't plug it in yeah and i just have no will to survive in the aftermath of

00:44:34.920 that doesn't really bode well for women most often times so right there's that too that's true

00:44:39.380 i'm just curious if you guys thought i did it i did a military movie where we had like two weeks of

00:44:45.760 training and and uh the guy said after four days i've trained a lot of actors and you are by far the

00:44:52.700 worst soldier i've ever seen because what would happen to me is we'd go on these fake patrols

00:44:58.760 and i'd be like this and i'd be like i'd and i'd be and i'd be like okay here we go we're playing

00:45:03.680 soldiers and i'm really on and then i'd be like wow this is beautiful trees and i'm like and the

00:45:08.380 sunsets coming and then they'd be like soldier i'm like oh shit i was like you're pointing your gun

00:45:12.260 at the sky i'm an artist what can i say i see the beauty in small things i see the beauty in the

00:45:17.900 sunlight and then you're looking like do you think dolly would have liked me do you think

00:45:24.980 what do you think yeah but that was kind of a good insight into whether or not yeah and then

00:45:31.780 similar to him i think i did wait the stand is kind of zombie apocalypse ish and in that one too i

00:45:37.680 got no head got chopped off episode six maybe seven yep i just think that it's not in our dna to

00:45:45.480 survive uh the zombie apocalypse hard things yeah no we can survive certain hard things but i think

00:45:52.640 that if it's like you know zombies but you were saying that if your phone died you would just off

00:45:59.020 yourself or you would probably go into the zombie thing no like in in the case but i might have faith

00:46:04.840 in you like i think that you could do sourceful yeah i think you could do your brother's just like

00:46:09.520 demon yeah well he's that's what my d imagine imagine it's like a hunger game situation with

00:46:15.480 him though like they take him as like a songbird they take him so he could just play demons like

00:46:19.460 what if the zombies actually like that maybe i love it we never know well i guess we'll never we'll

00:46:22.820 find out whenever it happens but yeah i don't have a very strong will to live in situations like that

00:46:28.900 i'm thinking about sharing food out of a can and i'm kind of like

00:46:31.800 wow that's where you draw the line that's just kind of where i'm at like that's just where i'm

00:46:36.640 not meant to survive hard things like that i think there's some good canned food also sharing is

00:46:41.880 caring canned tuna canned pineapple canned beans beans beans you guys big beans fans yeah well i like

00:46:48.000 those canned sweet beans in england i love those ones really yeah i love that love it not about i hated

00:46:54.240 those well i love it so so yeah you and i got a real opposites thing going on here yeah it doesn't

00:47:02.460 matter opposites can be friends that's true that's true that's very true we're not but i guess we'll

00:47:07.480 see wait who were you talking to me

00:47:11.960 you but i do have that's actually a good pivot i have some fun facts about you guys

00:47:18.020 are you guys ready to hear them yeah let's do it this one um well i already knew this one but it

00:47:23.440 says that your group name came from when you were toddlers and used to call yourselves the

00:47:27.540 naked brother band in the bathtub yeah that's a fact are we saying true or false yeah you can

00:47:33.200 absolutely and that is something i hold against my producer when they're wrong so i do love it true

00:47:38.440 she gets a mark on her on her report card true true at the end of the day true uh this one says

00:47:44.760 during covid nat accidentally broke a window with his elbow and sewed up the cut with converse laces
