Did you see how many clementines are outside my house?
00:00:22.940
Hey, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of the comment section show.
00:00:35.400
Today, we have the iconic, the legendary, the unbelievably talented, the Beaches.
00:00:44.800
Should we go down the line so everyone can do their names just in case someone doesn't know?
00:01:10.640
The thing that's so you, you've basically become known for it.
00:01:14.160
And if you don't have yours yet, you'll find it on eBay.
00:01:18.820
eBay is where you'll find those one-of-a-kind, can't-stop-researching,
00:01:25.140
I'm talking that off-the-runway red leather bomber you've had your eye on,
00:01:29.340
the trendy top with the cowboy on it, or that sleek fleece from the 2017 colorway.
00:01:36.200
And they even offer millions of main character pieces backed by authenticity guarantee.
00:01:41.580
eBay is the place for pre-loved and vintage fashion.
00:01:51.460
You're probably way further ahead than me in the process.
00:02:02.700
And, like, she made a PowerPoint presentation for us.
00:02:13.540
And, well, to promote this new record, we wanted to, like, throw parties.
00:02:32.360
I'm like, I want to be the kind of DJ that's, like, on the ox.
00:02:35.800
Like, what do I do when I'm just queuing bangers?
00:02:38.380
She had, like, Usher and Evanescence next to each other.
00:02:44.360
But you faded in at one point, and it actually sounded like a car crash.
00:02:48.560
You also did a lot of, like, record scratching, too.
00:03:04.300
I mean, I was really nervous to put this out because it sort of came after the record.
00:03:10.640
The record that we had put out earlier was all about my breakup, and it was, like, very
00:03:17.300
So we were kind of feeling a lot of stress and pressure to follow up, blame my ex, and I
00:03:24.720
kind of got around it by, like, not writing about my experiences as much, but more, like,
00:03:33.860
They just had more cool stories, and they were going through, like, really bad breakups
00:03:44.780
She's like, I traumatized the first time, so it's someone else's turn.
00:03:52.340
Well, before we get into that, into the new record, can y'all give me a little bit of
00:04:15.960
And so we went to public school with Eliza, and we were forming a band when we, we've been
00:04:23.000
So we were on, like, the Disney Channel equivalent in Canada.
00:04:40.660
And then we started playing together in our band, Dumb with Dolls.
00:04:54.580
No, she actually became friends with our old member.
00:05:06.460
But we became the beaches and had Leandra join when we were in high school.
00:05:13.820
Do y'all remember your first, like, gig where you were like, oh, my God, this feels like,
00:05:20.540
Well, I'd say actually the first show with you, probably.
00:05:22.980
The one at that, in Toronto, there was this place called The Riverside that we played at.
00:05:31.340
And, like, we could keep doing this for many years.
00:05:42.120
I remember we had just come back from a writing session in L.A. and we played Riot
00:05:46.600
Fest, rest in peace, that's no longer there in Toronto.
00:05:49.600
And to me, like, that was the first time where it wasn't, like, just middle-aged people
00:06:14.800
When did you guys have, like, feel like you were like, okay, I think this is, like, real,
00:06:21.120
Because obviously you've been in the band for a long time.
00:06:23.300
Maybe when we got signed to Ireland out of high school.
00:06:26.220
Because then we were like, let's try doing this and not going to university.
00:06:30.540
And then we kind of, we actually were in L.A. a lot.
00:06:32.960
We would, we lived at this place called the Oakwood Apartments, which is, like, now called
00:06:57.060
And I woke Kylie up and said, are you looking, are you seeing this bed?
00:07:10.380
That's kind of where we got, like, a bit of our start, actually.
00:07:13.900
And then things kind of took off, like, more recently with Blaine Brett going viral on
00:07:21.480
That's kind of where we got, like, the worldwide success.
00:07:32.400
That is where we met drunk in the artist section.
00:07:53.520
We were all so nervous because, obviously, Coachella is, like, a bucket list, always has
00:08:00.560
The second weekend, I felt like, because the weather was better, it went a little bit better.
00:08:27.960
Well, that's what happens when you're kissing a bunch.
00:08:43.660
I mean, the four of us and our tour manager at the time, we did stay in, like, a one-bedroom
00:09:01.260
It was pretty wild, but it also was, like, so bonding.
00:09:05.500
And it was the first time, like, just running around London.
00:09:07.540
The fact that you were living to tell the tale.
00:09:14.500
We went to an arts high school in Toronto, and we were, like, can we go?
00:09:18.020
And they're, like, you can't just leave school for a month.
00:09:21.600
And you're, like, okay, well, I already bought the plane ticket.
00:09:26.520
Which is kind of weird, because it was a music school.
00:09:32.800
Like, I still hold it against them, but it's fine.
00:09:50.920
We've had, like, a couple number ones in that country.
00:10:04.460
Also, we were, like, number one on a countdown for, like, a weekend playlist.
00:10:17.960
I'll confidently, like, spew misinformation all the time.
00:11:57.040
And I photoshopped all of our heads onto the poster.
00:12:08.080
I was like, he quote tweeted it with like a picture.
00:12:12.260
He said, what 20 year old lesbian is running this again?
00:12:42.960
I was balls deep in that shit when I was young.
00:12:53.040
I was best friends with Frankie Jonas in the movie.
00:12:58.460
They gave me like a funky pink hat in different forms every scene I was in.
00:13:09.900
Actually, the director did have to pull me aside at one point.
00:13:13.300
At one point and say, can you try to look a little happier?
00:13:21.340
And then with that, my acting career came to an end.
00:13:24.580
Can you imagine though, like you're a preteen and you get to be in a movie with the guys
00:13:31.180
And the director gives you the ugliest hat to wear your entire suit.
00:13:34.800
This is where my delusion comes in because I'd be like, well, obviously I'm going to stand
00:13:39.160
You'll be able to see me from a mile away with this hat.
00:13:43.260
We recently watched it and played a drinking game.
00:13:45.420
Every time we see Kylie, we were like wasted within 10 minutes.
00:13:54.280
We were doing a writing session and we were in, we were invited to a Halloween party.
00:14:05.640
And, and we were like, let's dress up as the camp rockers.
00:14:20.800
They're like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:14:22.760
Frankie is not making it out to me, so I'm like, literally, I was Kevin and everyone kept
00:14:36.460
By the end of the night, you guys got so hammered that Kevin was like, on the side of
00:14:41.160
I passed out in the middle of the road, and Jordan had to find a man to come carry me
00:14:48.340
But Kylie got so wasted that she didn't even make it out.
00:15:05.180
Our Nick got drunk in order to talk about the wrong house.
00:15:25.440
I think, like, the first time we properly met was they were doing a show in Vancouver,
00:15:29.680
and they had, like, a, like, a middle section of the set, and they would bring special
00:15:39.460
And they, like, liked Blaine Brett, so we got to play it for them, which was sick.
00:15:46.020
I wrote fanfic about them when I was, like, a child.
00:15:51.560
No, I, I literally handwrote it like a colonial woman, but, yeah, I wrote, I wrote, I was
00:16:00.520
No, I haven't, but I, it's funny because when they did their Broadway stint in New York
00:16:04.900
and did, like, five nights, five albums, whatever, I was like, I have to go to night
00:16:10.860
So, like, I worked with SeatGeek to go and watch them.
00:16:14.940
And my deliverable for them, like, my TikTok for them, I put in a video that my sister
00:16:19.000
and I made with my best friend at the time, and it was, like, a submission video to win
00:16:24.880
concert tickets and meet and greet for the Jonas Brothers.
00:16:27.980
And, like, my sister and I were like, okay, we have a whole plan, like, this, and we filmed
00:16:31.860
it, like, on a shitty little laptop, like, it's grainy and awful, and we filmed this
00:16:36.080
whole thing for, like, an hour, and then I showed it to my mom, and my mom was like,
00:16:44.360
We did, like, a skit and then put music in there and all that.
00:16:50.300
Yeah, submitted it, and then we found out that my sister doesn't know anything, so,
00:16:55.020
like, it's a tri-state area only, and we live in California, so, like, we did all
00:17:01.640
We submitted it, and I was like, you idiot, to my sister.
00:17:06.980
Well, the reason why is because when I did my SeatGeek video for them, I put that video
00:17:11.640
in my SeatGeek video, like, just basically showing what I did and then what I'm doing
00:17:15.740
now, watching them, and then their team saw that video and then asked me, do you want
00:17:20.720
to come watch them in L.A., like, and make content with them?
00:17:27.440
So, actually, the video did help you in the long run.
00:17:29.160
It did, and yeah, in the long run, Jason was like, I knew the whole time.
00:17:47.920
Kevin was very, he was, like, the most talkative.
00:17:48.920
Nick didn't really talk at all when I met them, but, like, Kevin was, like, his very older
00:18:17.920
Like, the worst is, like, Clementine season in Toronto.
00:18:21.920
Have you heard of it Clementine season in Toronto, specifically?
00:18:28.920
It's something known as the summer to February.
00:18:30.920
Is it just, like, seeing too many in one space?
00:18:44.920
Did you see how many Clementines were outside my house?
00:18:49.920
I don't know if you ever knew one time you pissed all of us off.
00:18:52.920
So we took a peel and we rubbed it on your base strings.
00:19:03.920
She's not gonna be able to stop thinking about that now.
00:19:16.920
You were sharing your base, and you reached in your hands-
00:19:21.920
So there's something worse on there than Clementines.
00:19:36.920
You itchy your crotch and touch your base strings, that's okay.
00:19:39.920
But when I rub a Clementine on there all of a sudden-
00:19:49.920
And that was to ward them from touching your base?
00:19:59.920
I was like, oh, if you're gonna touch the base with the thing I hate the most,
00:20:09.920
I'm gonna touch it with your least favorite thing, Clementine.
00:20:26.920
My grandfather grew up during the Depression, and he didn't ever want to waste food.
00:20:38.920
Our grandfather grew up during the Depression, didn't want to waste food, so he would put
00:20:42.920
spoiled fruit in our porridge as children, so that it got eaten.
00:20:47.920
And I just remember eating a rotten grape and being like, I'm good.
00:20:59.920
I thought I would get over it, because I've gotten over, like, I was a picky eater as
00:21:03.920
a kid, and I got through, like, I got over everything else.
00:21:11.920
I have, like, what I think is called megalophobia.
00:21:17.920
But, like, things that are not meant to be that big, I guess, naturally.
00:21:26.920
I was going to say, like, it's usually ocean things.
00:21:30.920
But even, like, those blue avatars, like, yeah, you need to get away from me.
00:21:35.920
Like, I love those movies, but, like, when I see them in, like, Walt Disney World or whatever
00:21:43.920
Like, I remember when they had first put Star Wars in Disneyland.
00:21:55.920
And we were, like, just kind of casually walking around and Chewbacca was there.
00:22:04.920
Like, if that thing looks at me, I'm going to have to do something.
00:22:08.920
And then I'm going to get banned from Disneyland for the rest of my life.
00:22:29.920
Like, if there's, like, an Advil bottle or a cotton ball inside, like, I can't get it
00:22:34.920
I mean, it's also kind of a nightmare for me, because all, like, the...
00:22:43.920
That's why Nick got too drunk and didn't make it to the Halloween party, really.
00:22:47.920
There was just too many cotton spiderwebs everywhere.
00:23:00.920
But now we just, like, started befriending bugs.
00:23:05.920
No, I am terrified, but I don't want to kill them.
00:23:10.920
Yeah, but, like, I picked up a cockroach the other night.
00:23:30.920
We went for the first time, and it's just, like...
00:23:37.920
Oh, yeah, you guys don't spend $30 on one crust juice?
00:23:47.920
But it was a trip going in there for the first time.
00:23:52.920
Honestly, when I go in the air one, I see at least two famous people, and that's not a joke.
00:24:09.920
I saw Max Greenfield buying a rotisserie chicken there.
00:24:22.920
I actually went to Canada for the first time this year.
00:24:41.920
Stop lights and red lights and all of that light suggestion.
00:24:44.920
Like, the way they drive feels like I'm in Mario Kart.
00:24:50.920
Like, every Uber I took, I was like, I'd rather walk.
00:24:53.920
But also, you're the fastest walkers in the history of time.
00:25:00.920
The Toronto walk is like, you can spot it from a mile away.
00:25:05.920
And like, with purpose and you look real casual, but you are running.
00:25:07.920
Like, you're two steps from a sprint at that point.
00:25:11.920
And like, my agent Alex, who I introduced to you guys at Coachella, she's Canadian.
00:25:17.920
But she is the fastest walker in the history of time.
00:25:22.920
Like, even when we went to Paris together, at one point, I was like, you know what?
00:25:34.920
I would turn around and I'd see her back 40 yards away.
00:25:42.920
I think the guy who wins gold in, like, speed walking or whatever in the Olympics every
00:25:54.920
And he's, like, wearing a suit in the race with a blue face.
00:26:30.920
I'm like, I have way longer legs than you and I can't keep up.
00:26:42.920
Like, when we landed, I said, I need someone take me to a dispenser immediately.
00:26:54.920
I think, like, mushrooms are legal in Vancouver now, too.
00:26:57.920
Oh, that's right, because they told me that when I was up there.
00:26:59.920
And I remember, I went into one, and they had, like, this tube system that went on the top.
00:27:04.920
And they would, like, you just order on an iPad, and it would, like, shoot, like,
00:27:12.920
Also, if the weather was better, I'd entertain it.
00:27:17.920
How many, like, per block, how many, like, dispensaries are there in LA?
00:27:20.920
Because, like, in Toronto and in Vancouver, there's, like, three a block.
00:27:26.920
I would say at least one, now that it's been legalized for a while now.
00:27:29.920
But, like, still, like, there, I'm, like, stones throw, I'd find one.
00:27:35.920
But y'all have some pretty good weed here, too, in California.
00:27:40.920
I had, like, a little, it's funny because I got a pen from a dispensary up there in Vancouver.
00:27:53.920
Like, I was like, there's straight gas in that thing.
00:28:00.920
So I want to loop back to your guys' very successful, awesome career.
00:28:18.920
And, yeah, we've been working on it for the past two years.
00:28:21.920
It was kind of, like, inspired by Sex and the City.
00:28:27.920
I really like how, in that show, you get the perspectives of four different women.
00:28:31.920
And there's always, like, a common theme that sort of threads all of their relationship
00:28:37.920
Like, it's BDSM, or cheating, or something else.
00:28:50.920
But I really like how the show sort of uses, like, the perspectives of four different women
00:29:00.920
And I wanted to do that with us and sort of do it with a record, you know?
00:29:09.920
Where we do our debriefs about all the crazy shit we do.
00:29:22.920
Like, after, because Blade and My Ex was such a surprise hit, we kind of had to do a lot
00:29:35.920
But it meant that the time that we had to sort of follow it up was, like, a lot smaller.
00:29:40.920
And at the end of that record cycle, I was like, all I've been doing is eating salads
00:29:50.920
You guys were kind of going through your own...
00:29:52.920
I was eating my own salads in different cities.
00:29:58.920
And, like, one day, I think Leandra was going through a breakup and she's like,
00:30:03.920
I haven't been able to masturbate since me and blank broke up.
00:30:10.920
Like, after my bad breakup, like, I couldn't use my vibrator for, like, three months.
00:30:18.920
Every time you get it, you're like, God, I just can't.
00:30:24.920
Because, like, you don't want to think about your ex in a sexual way.
00:30:27.920
And, like, sometimes when you're so heartbroken, that's, like, the only thing you can do.
00:30:30.920
And I'm like, that's so relatable and so funny.
00:31:25.920
You're grinning and you're like, oh, okay, perfect.
00:31:33.920
But everyone seems to be talking about it, so I had to give it a try.
00:32:31.920
Next time, if you're with me and we see him, I'll introduce you.
00:32:40.920
Because I always feel like I'm the giant in the room.
00:32:45.920
Every room I'm in, I feel like that scene in Alice in Wonderland,
00:32:47.920
when she drinks that shit and then she gets enormous.
00:33:03.920
And they're big on perspective, like, for actors.
00:33:05.920
Like, which is why I feel like I can smell height like a drug dog.
00:33:10.920
So, like, if I see a picture of a man, I can guess almost to the inch how tall he is.
00:33:20.920
I'm trying to think of, like, the rock is tall, obviously.
00:33:24.920
To me, like, standing next to him, he looks normal size when he's next to me.
00:33:28.920
And it's because I think he's, like, 6'4", and I'm 6 feet.
00:33:32.920
So, it's like, he's obviously significantly taller than me, but it's not as, like, crazy
00:33:35.920
as when he's standing next to, like, a Kevin Hart, like, who's this big.
00:33:54.920
I would say most people are, like, itty-bitty-bitty.
00:33:57.920
It's been very rare that I meet someone, I'm like, damn, you're fucking tall.
00:34:01.920
Unless it's, of course, like, have you ever met Ilona Marr?
00:34:06.920
Her and her sisters, her sisters are tall as fuck.
00:34:08.920
They're both, they both have, like, two, three inches on me.
00:34:13.920
I thought rugby players were, like, more compact.
00:34:17.920
Like, her other two sisters are way taller than her.
00:34:26.920
I'm like, the list of tall people in general I've met in this industry is a lot shorter
00:34:31.920
Like, the smallest person I've met in this industry was Maren Morris, I think.
00:34:36.920
Like, she sat in this chair, and I say, like, her feet were straight like this.
00:34:57.920
She said she would sing at my wedding, and I'm holding her to that.
00:35:04.920
We both, all of us, all five of us went to the-
00:35:19.920
Okay, we went to the Elton John party after the Oscars.
00:35:24.920
Did you see me and Chrishell dancing on the table?
00:35:33.920
I feel like you had to pay extra to get a table.
00:35:36.920
No, so they got up on the table and started dancing to Pink Pony Club.
00:35:42.920
Me and Chris Appleton had to get them down off the table.
00:35:52.920
But we just, like, we got super drunk, obviously.
00:35:59.920
And, like, they had, like, people, like, bringing around, like, little things of, like, wine and
00:36:12.920
Luna, they told me they were sitting next to MGK.
00:36:22.920
I did see MGK there and I was like, this is really interesting.
00:36:30.920
So I was like, this is the craziest thing that has happened.
00:36:37.920
A couple of times, like, just couldn't, like, figure out where to go.
00:36:41.920
And like I was saying, people thought I worked there.
00:36:45.920
They thought I installed the mirror in the bathroom, which is crazy.
00:37:05.920
I felt like the crowd was a little, like, they were not hype enough for me during chapel.
00:37:10.920
See what happens when you put too many straight people in there?
00:37:18.920
We're like, was everybody really drunk or were most people, like, kind of keeping it chill?
00:37:27.920
To be honest, like, yeah, like, most of the people I saw were pretty drunk.
00:37:29.920
And there were some really fucking famous people at that party.
00:37:33.920
And I was, and watching them move in the wild is so shocking to me.
00:37:38.920
They just, like, they're, it's just them, like, kind of key-king.
00:37:40.920
And it's one of those parties where, like, because most of the other parties I've been
00:37:43.920
to for work stuff, if I see super, super famous people like that, they're real, like,
00:37:50.920
People are watching them and photographing them and videoing them.
00:37:58.920
Yeah, I was like, I got fucked up at that party.
00:38:00.920
When I was passing my weed pen around, like, free candy, I said, I'll wake up with Herbie's
00:38:09.920
I was, like, I was laughing so hard, too, because when I, I ran into Dylan Mulvaney there.
00:38:16.920
But I was like, we were hanging out with her, and then she was like, I wish I had weed.
00:38:23.920
And she shared mine, and then the girl she had introduced me to, she was like, oh, I'll,
00:38:30.920
And then I found out that's Reese Witherspoon's daughter.
00:38:38.920
I was like, don't tell your mom that I gave that to you.
00:38:48.920
That party was so kooky that when I got back to my hotel, I was, like, fucked up.
00:38:53.920
I don't drink like that anymore, because I'm old.
00:38:55.920
And so, when I woke up the next morning, I was like, water.
00:39:05.920
As soon as I pulled it away from my lips, almost shit my pants.
00:39:09.920
I was like, I literally, I had to run, like, cupping my butt like a little kid.
00:39:16.920
I said, what the fuck while I was sitting there?
00:39:24.920
I go to my sister's room, because she had a room inside our room.
00:39:37.920
I'm, like, literally talking to her, and she goes, get out.
00:39:42.920
I'm like, can you believe I almost pooped my pants just now?
00:39:53.920
Well, because we got back, and you took your shoes off.
00:40:06.920
And now I'm like, why did I almost shit myself?
00:40:13.920
It's like a, it's, I don't, it's from somewhere here famous.
00:40:22.920
It might, it might, cause my cousin and my man were staying in the room too.
00:40:29.920
And they ordered that pizza cause they really wanted to try it.
00:40:31.920
And I was like, by the time we got back, it was fucking ice cold.
00:40:40.920
And then I wondered why I almost put my pants in.
00:40:48.920
Honestly, like my worst, another fear of mine to jump back is like, what happens if you
00:40:58.920
But I'm talking more about pooping when it comes out the other end.
00:41:14.920
And it's like, we hadn't met the band we were opening for yet.
00:41:24.920
He was like, I was taking a shower and your daughter had food poisoning in the stall.
00:41:39.920
And then when you come out, you're like, whoever was just in there did something crazy.
00:41:45.920
One time I hosted this thing for one or two, which I loved.
00:41:51.920
But when I was hosting it, like the day I hosted it was at nighttime and I was like exhausted
00:41:57.920
And then I had to like get on stage and be funny.
00:42:00.920
So obviously I bring my weed pen with me everywhere.
00:42:02.920
So I was like, I'm going to hit this blinker till my eyes cross.
00:42:07.920
I was cheaping on that hoe in the, in the fucking dressing room.
00:42:10.920
I'm like, and then I had to go to the restroom, but there was like a Polynesian dancers.
00:42:17.920
And then my mom was like, Oh, let's go to the bathroom and then go upstairs.
00:42:21.920
But it's like two singular stalls and they're like, everyone's sharing them.
00:42:26.920
But when I hit it before I went in there, I walked past him.
00:42:33.920
I'm like, yeah, no, I'm going to go in this one.
00:42:35.920
I go in the bathroom and I'm like, lighten it up there.
00:42:41.920
I was literally like, like, and then I come out my eyes, bloodshot red.
00:42:45.920
And I'm like, I walk outside and my mom goes, are you okay?
00:43:04.920
That's why, that's why I'm on tour, especially if there's like only two bathrooms.
00:43:18.920
It was last year we were on tour with Girl in Red.
00:43:22.920
And there's like so many people on her crew and we had like two shared bathrooms and
00:43:30.920
So I was like, I walked a little bit outside of the venue and found like a random port-a-potty.
00:43:42.920
I was like, I kind of got to go and I don't want it to be known that like.
00:43:47.920
So I just like, do, do, do, do, do, go out there into like the wilderness and find this
00:43:52.920
And whatever, I'm doing my business on my phone as you are, you know, flipping through
00:44:11.920
I finished my business and I stand up and I have been locked inside the port-a-potty.
00:44:27.920
You said, you're the person who's been pooping in here, aren't you?
00:44:32.920
I'm like, fuck, what happens if somebody loads this port-a-potty under the back of a
00:44:43.920
Just like, somehow in the middle, like in the middle, they find me like.
00:44:52.920
But first Meg took a photo of her through the crack, through the padlock, sent it to
00:44:59.920
She's like crying, kind of like a little eye flipping through.
00:45:06.920
It's all fun and games until I'm actually locked in there.
00:45:27.920
It would have been less dramatic to just poop in the communal bathroom.
00:45:31.920
Someone write us to go on cinch and be like, the beaches can't perform because
00:45:33.920
the lead singer actually died to give a shit for the party today.
00:45:35.920
She actually got locked in a portafone and drowned in her own shit.
00:45:42.920
Well, these are all really fun facts, but I do have some fun facts.
00:45:49.920
It says the beaches man covered the song ultimate on the freakier Friday movie soundtrack.
00:46:00.920
I mean, we were, we were little when the first movie came out and we played the shit out
00:46:05.920
And ultimate was like one of me and my sister's favorite songs growing up.
00:46:15.920
Like our first project was a kind of Canadian Disney project.
00:46:18.920
So it kind of felt, well, sorry, I have a lot of spit in my mother.
00:46:35.920
Um, no, it was a really cool full circle moment and it's an awesome franchise about female
00:46:49.920
And Jamie, Jamie Lee has been like posting about the song, which was so sick.
00:47:03.920
We've been, we were, we were in, we were in Europe doing tours and I, I was going to
00:47:05.920
maybe go in Naples, but then I couldn't find an English version.
00:47:09.920
And you said, well, obviously I gotta watch my version.
00:47:12.920
I got off the flight, went to the movie with my family, fell asleep.
00:47:16.920
And my sister just like punched me at the end to show me the song.
00:47:29.920
It says, you used to go LARPing in the park in her hometown when she was growing up.
00:47:48.920
Those are my hidden Mickeys when I say my lesbian crew.
00:47:55.920
But yeah, I used to like have a full like bow and arrow set.
00:48:10.920
I credit a lot of my songwriting abilities to being like able to be so creative as a
00:48:18.920
I definitely would love to do it again if anybody needs an extra large for their campaign.
00:48:40.920
I really liked Petra Collins' photography exhibition that she did where she had like
00:50:22.920
Kylie's the furthest thing from a nerd actually.
00:51:05.920
I probably have those still like buried away somewhere.
00:51:07.920
Like some like attic of like my old house or something.
00:51:12.920
I collected the cards and I like wanted like you know the like most rarest one or whatever
00:51:27.920
You bought me a Furby for my birthday one year.
00:51:35.920
She had one when we were kids and we shared a room and it would go off in the middle of
00:51:58.920
It says Kylie and Jordan once had to buy a ghost a drink at a bar called Captain Jack
00:52:13.920
It's like one of the scariest bars that you'll ever go to in your life.
00:52:17.920
It's like there's like patrons with zero teeth.
00:52:23.920
Like just like really some crazy stuff happens there.
00:52:36.920
It was during some like special thing that was going on.
00:52:39.920
So we were just, we were watching fireworks at the beach.
00:52:47.920
But the person behind the bar, the pirate said, if you want to have this drink, like you have anyone to sit there, you have to buy this guy who just passed away.
00:53:01.920
I got the vibe that he had died from liver failure.
00:53:06.920
They had like a photo of him, a candle on the table.
00:53:13.920
I think like this establishment, like this had been a year ago.
00:53:17.920
Maybe he didn't even exist and they're just trying to make more money.
00:53:42.920
And while you were on the date, your phone glitched and it said you were in the middle
00:54:03.920
He ended up not looking anything like his photo.
00:54:04.920
Also, if he's watching this, I'm really sorry for exposing you in this way.
00:54:12.920
It was very strange, like really uncomfortable.
00:54:14.920
But he wanted to go on like a walk in like our neighborhood, which is not technically an
00:54:26.920
And then when I checked, your dot was so far in the middle of the lake.
00:54:37.920
I mean, it definitely, it was, it was so scary.
00:54:41.920
I never went on another hinge date again after that.
00:54:43.920
Was he just severely off putting other than face?
00:54:51.920
I mentioned something about an ex boyfriend and he was like, can we please not talk about
00:54:57.920
I was like, I'm just mentioning something in passing.
00:55:02.920
The dot is her throwing him off a boat in the middle of the lake.
00:55:07.920
He's like, I was busy in the middle of the air.
00:55:13.920
Which is just like, I was like, this is just like not going to work for us.
00:55:24.920
Just lay in the sun and ask for the leaves to give you the nutrients.
00:55:41.920
And I, I didn't even just straight up ghost him.
00:55:43.920
I texted him and said, I don't think that we should ever see you.
00:55:46.920
He said it was so bad that I said, I don't want to ever see you.
00:55:56.920
Good friends check and make sure you're not in the middle of the lake.
00:56:03.920
In 2013, Leandra performed in a show called Fab Prov at a fringe festival.
00:56:15.920
Because the only rule is yes and, and I was always saying no.
00:56:19.920
If I didn't want some girl in my scene, I said, literally, what are you doing here?
00:56:28.920
The most Virgo thing to do in improv is refuse to go along with it.
00:56:34.920
You almost failed the class because you kept saying no.
00:56:37.920
And like, I would go in with just an idea already in my head.
00:56:40.920
So if someone changed it, I would be like, ah, no, and change it back to mine.
00:56:58.920
I was like, oh my God, I'm going to learn about banter.
00:57:07.920
It's like the way you just refuse to participate because it's not going the right way.
00:57:12.920
It's not going the way I've planned in my head.
00:57:17.920
Wasn't there one girl that you, like, found annoying and you would always find a way to
00:57:26.920
That's giving, um, maybe I'll watch The Office.
00:57:29.920
You remember Michael Scott when he does improv?
00:57:36.920
Because he whispered and he goes, he told me that I have to put my hands up because
00:57:53.920
Like, I remember one of my characters was like a talent agent in Hollywood who was like smoking through
00:58:02.920
And then my history teacher was like, I actually can't look at you the same.
00:58:26.920
No, honestly, I'm even more intrigued than when we began.
00:58:28.920
I could have never guessed what your lives looked like.
00:58:40.920
Well, before we, before we wrap here, I'd love to know since y'all are so homegrown.
00:58:46.920
I love that y'all have been together riding together for years.
00:58:51.920
I'm so excited for the rest of the world to keep loving on y'all.
00:58:55.920
But before we go, do y'all have any advice for any aspiring artists who maybe want to be
00:59:06.920
We started this as friends and we're even closer now.
00:59:08.920
And I think that's been like our sort of our superpower, especially being like women
00:59:16.920
Like, especially, you know, solo female artists can be so, it can be so isolating.
00:59:23.920
And I know everyone says it, but practice is very important.
00:59:27.920
And you have to be, you just have to like be a really, really, really good live unit,
00:59:48.920
And I just like think that you should kind of keep posting, keep trying at it.
00:59:54.920
Like, even if it doesn't happen right away, it still might happen for you.
00:59:57.920
We've been doing this for like 10 years, 10 years.
00:59:59.920
And it took us this long to kind of get to where we are now.
01:00:02.920
Y'all have been doing it for the love of the game too, which is amazing.
01:00:07.920
And that's why I think that's why y'all have done so well, like, and sustained,
01:00:10.920
because it's because it means something to you.
01:00:19.920
Like, we get to go to different cities together, like, with our best friends every single day
01:00:22.920
and just like have fun, literally get paid to have fun on stage.
01:00:39.920
That's the key, honestly, especially because this industry is so fucking hard.
01:00:47.920
But thank y'all so much for coming on the show.
