00:02:40.540 It's so funny.

00:02:41.480 No, but last time we were here, we were on our buddy Dom's podcast.

00:02:45.180 Who has also been on the show.

00:02:46.760 I know.

00:02:47.320 Shout out Dom.

00:02:48.360 It's so cool.

00:02:49.320 I don't know if it's just this network of people, but every time we just meet someone

00:02:54.180 that's accompanied with this, we just hit it off.

00:02:56.740 And we just feel like great friends.

00:03:03.640 That's right.

00:03:04.180 One might say.

00:03:04.940 One might say.

00:03:05.800 What do you play in the band if you had to choose an instrument?

00:03:08.340 I'm just vibes.

00:03:09.340 Yeah.

00:03:09.900 I'm just vibes.

00:03:10.640 I'm just like next to y'all.

00:03:11.940 Literally.

00:03:12.560 Vibing.

00:03:13.000 Literally vibes.

00:03:13.540 I get mad at anyone not cheering.

00:03:15.320 That's my job.

00:03:16.640 That'd be sick.

00:03:16.920 I could be like security.

00:03:24.740 By any means necessary.

00:03:26.420 No.

00:03:26.900 They are also known for a very popular series on TikTok called Kenneth Kirkland.

00:03:32.420 Yes.

00:03:33.100 Hello.

00:03:33.800 Yeah.

00:03:34.380 Yeah.

00:03:35.260 Exactly.

00:03:35.880 Y'all know them now.

00:03:36.660 Not everyone who didn't know your music goes, oh.

00:03:40.740 No, it was so funny.

00:03:41.820 We were just on tour and there was multiple instances.

00:03:45.120 Shout out our buddies, Quarters to Change.

00:03:46.280 But there was multiple instances where we went on stage and people in the crowd were like,

00:03:50.760 wait, what?

00:03:52.520 You guys are the Kenneth Kirkland guys too?

00:03:54.380 Like, they had no idea.

00:03:55.880 It was so funny.

00:03:56.560 It was so funny.

00:03:57.220 Works out.

00:03:58.200 A jack of all trades.

00:03:59.280 It really, you know, it does.

00:04:00.100 You ask, y'all can do anything.

00:04:01.380 Okay.

00:04:01.620 So tell me a little bit about your guys' start.

00:04:04.080 How'd you guys become a band?

00:04:05.140 How do y'all know each other?

00:04:06.320 What's the tea?

00:04:07.360 Yeah.

00:04:07.600 So funny thing is we actually, me and Conrad, we met in fourth grade and just started the

00:04:12.820 band like all the way back then.

00:04:14.540 Oh, period.

00:04:14.900 And yeah, we decided.

00:04:16.700 We decided.

00:04:17.420 2008.

00:04:17.620 I'm 25 now.

00:04:18.400 So it's been a minute.

00:04:19.700 Talent show season came around.

00:04:21.080 We were like, man, like we should get a little group together.

00:04:23.260 And us and our buddy, Chris Monahan formed the band all the way back then.

00:04:27.320 And then we just kind of stuck together.

00:04:29.640 We were obviously in fourth grade.

00:04:31.680 So children kind of like Tommy's dad was different.

00:04:36.820 Tommy's dad was like kind of our coach, so to speak.

00:04:39.660 And then he kind of held us together.

00:04:41.860 And then eventually probably we've been this formation, I would say, for about like nine

00:04:46.940 years, give or take.

00:04:48.180 And then we kind of just grinded it out for like most of our childhood.

00:04:52.580 And then COVID happened.

00:04:54.360 We went to college and then we graduated college.

00:04:57.480 And then we're like, we're going to go to school.

00:04:58.940 So, yeah, Towson University, it's like a smaller school.

00:05:02.180 Cool.

00:05:03.440 And then after that, we're like, we got to make like a big move because it was like COVID.

00:05:08.020 Like, you know, we've been in the house.

00:05:09.820 Like we got to do something.

00:05:10.960 So then we were.

00:05:11.640 Yeah, we were in the same band.

00:05:12.580 We were doing it for like, you know, six years on repeat playing these bar gigs and stuff.

00:05:17.360 And then we decided, you know, we have to make the next step.

00:05:21.420 Yeah.

00:05:21.700 So then we moved to Los Angeles and we're like, oh, everybody's doing TikTok out here.

00:05:27.520 Like TikTok is definitely a thing.

00:05:30.400 Yeah.

00:05:30.720 So like, let's make this like fun little series just for fun with the Cana Kirkland.

00:05:36.680 And it just kind of like took off.

00:05:38.240 And then we're like, oh, we'll do it again.

00:05:39.920 We're not expecting it to take off.

00:05:41.880 We're like, we're like, it was funny.

00:05:43.620 I didn't think a single person was going to watch it.

00:05:45.880 I remember watching back at the video was like, this is hilarious, but this is like the dumbest

00:05:50.680 thing we've ever done.

00:05:51.480 I'm like, who would watch this?

00:05:53.960 And apparently lots of people enjoyed it.

00:05:55.880 And then we did it again.

00:05:56.940 And then it was like, oh, this is work.

00:05:58.820 Like this works.

00:06:00.040 And we did it again.

00:06:00.700 It was like, OK.

00:06:02.060 And then Victoria Paris, who's also been on this show.

00:06:06.320 Let's go.

00:06:06.980 Yeah, Victoria.

00:06:08.480 Look at me.

00:06:09.340 She was like the first person.

00:06:11.040 I've been watching y'all forever.

00:06:13.580 I just surrounded for years.

00:06:16.640 All angles.

00:06:18.040 But she was the first person to like hit us up and was like,

00:06:20.800 I don't know how it happened.

00:06:22.760 I think she commented on our post.

00:06:24.820 And then I think I DM'd her.

00:06:26.100 I was like, do you want to come on the show?

00:06:27.820 Like somehow we're making it a show now.

00:06:29.820 Yeah.

00:06:30.200 And she was like, yeah.

00:06:31.280 And then that kind of opened it up to guests.

00:06:33.760 And then we just kept doing it.

00:06:35.340 And then we've had so many people on at this point.

00:06:37.240 Now it just turned into like a show.

00:06:39.260 Now it's like the other thing you do.

00:06:41.240 Other than music.

00:06:42.540 Now we just like have them both.

00:06:43.800 Where did they pick up the last two of you?

00:06:47.440 Did y'all meet in LA?

00:06:48.800 Or did you all meet here?

00:06:50.000 We kind of like all grew up near each other.

00:06:52.420 But like they have like preschool pictures together.

00:06:55.300 They've known each other.

00:06:56.880 So me, Conrad and Pierce, we have like preschool pictures together.

00:07:01.120 Wow.

00:07:01.460 We've known each other.

00:07:02.100 We all went to preschool together.

00:07:03.440 And we've just known each other for far too long.

00:07:06.320 Damn.

00:07:07.060 Okay.

00:07:07.680 Far too long.

00:07:08.220 We've only hung out with each other for like our whole lives.

00:07:12.040 We really don't have that many friends.

00:07:14.140 Like it's so funny.

00:07:15.100 Like our managers.

00:07:16.340 When we're on tour, our managers will be like, hey, do you guys have anybody for guest lists

00:07:19.700 and stuff?

00:07:20.080 And we're like, no.

00:07:21.160 Like one, two, three.

00:07:22.240 I think we're all here.

00:07:23.500 Yeah, I have like one friend.

00:07:24.600 I was like, no.

00:07:25.760 I was like, no.

00:07:26.420 I don't think anybody's coming out here.

00:07:27.720 Just start writing our own names just to make us feel better.

00:07:31.540 Johnny.

00:07:32.780 Johnny eight.

00:07:34.000 Yeah.

00:07:34.880 I'm expecting this.

00:07:35.760 It's not me.

00:07:37.080 It's not me.

00:07:38.000 Yeah.

00:07:39.440 That's really cool though.

00:07:40.640 I think you guys have a longstanding history.

00:07:42.460 Then you must like each other then.

00:07:43.940 Yeah.

00:07:44.280 Have to.

00:07:44.720 What do I say?

00:07:45.640 We get along super well, which is nice because we all live with each other.

00:07:48.880 Yeah.

00:07:49.560 Which can be tricky.

00:07:51.180 But like for other groups, but for us, it works so well.

00:07:54.580 Like, I don't know.

00:07:55.460 I've been to their house.

00:07:56.680 It's nice.

00:07:57.440 It's nice.

00:07:57.840 And they had a bunch of candles lit.

00:08:00.680 It was very spooky.

00:08:01.580 Much like this set.

00:08:02.620 I would like to say that our band is kind of similar to, I watched an interview of the

00:08:07.080 1975 and they had talked about like how they have like a very special connection with only

00:08:14.500 the members of their, like they're all similar upbringing, you know, like they were all best

00:08:18.740 friends grew up together and they literally said, they were like, I have a connection with these, like with my bandmates.

00:08:25.400 Yeah.

00:08:25.760 And it's more of a connection that I've ever had with someone like ever before.

00:08:29.380 And it's kind of hard to like put it into words because it's like, I don't know, like we just get

00:08:34.120 each other.

00:08:34.860 We're all just, yeah, it's just, yeah.

00:08:36.720 It's just an eternal bond.

00:08:38.580 An eternal bond that has been around for a while.

00:08:41.480 It's hot.

00:08:42.180 It's hot.

00:08:42.640 It's hot, baby.

00:08:44.160 You guys are soulmates.

00:08:45.520 We're soulmates.

00:08:46.240 Platonic soulmates.

00:08:47.200 Platonic soulmates.

00:08:48.120 They exist.

00:08:48.540 Living in this crazy world.

00:08:49.820 There you go.

00:08:50.320 Oh my God.

00:08:51.240 So did you guys always want to be in music?

00:08:53.220 Did you guys always want to make music be a band?

00:08:55.900 Like what were your guys' influences?

00:08:57.700 I would say, yeah, probably.

00:08:59.760 We just started so young that it was kind of like, it was kind of like, you know, kids

00:09:04.380 play sports.

00:09:05.320 That was kind of like our thing.

00:09:07.840 That was your sports.

00:09:08.400 Yeah.

00:09:08.920 We all did play sports too, but like we took it way too seriously at a young age.

00:09:13.280 I feel you.

00:09:13.860 That it kind of just like kept going.

00:09:15.720 What sports did you guys play?

00:09:17.480 I'm curious.

00:09:18.460 Me.

00:09:19.080 Go ahead, go ahead.

00:09:19.860 No, you go ahead.

00:09:20.800 Dude, I was so excited.

00:09:22.160 Go ahead, Pierce.

00:09:23.420 Go ahead, Pierce.

00:09:23.980 Sports wise, like, so like what he just said, like for me, it was like playing sports until

00:09:27.780 like, so I had like sports asthma, so I stopped playing sports.

00:09:30.860 And then in like seventh grade, that's when I met Tommy.

00:09:33.540 And then I was like, I used to play guitar at the time and like stopped, whatever, met

00:09:37.000 Tommy and like saw the band was like, okay, let's do it.

00:09:40.060 I feel you.

00:09:40.420 And like, that's like sort of kind of my origin story with the band.

00:09:42.640 Yeah.

00:09:43.120 But sports wise, I used to play soccer, lacrosse and basketball.

00:09:47.360 Soccer was like my like.

00:09:48.580 Period.

00:09:49.200 Yeah.

00:09:49.500 Yeah.

00:09:49.660 We were on the same soccer team.

00:09:51.140 B team.

00:09:51.920 B team soccer team.

00:09:53.200 Yeah, but now we're all pro tennis players like we were talking about.

00:10:01.700 Yeah.

00:10:02.180 They were telling me you guys play tennis all the time.

00:10:04.180 Yeah.

00:10:04.480 I suck at tennis.

00:10:04.980 And I said, it's a very extremely white activity, but I support you.

00:10:08.220 Very.

00:10:08.740 Support you.

00:10:09.380 And I love when white people white.

00:10:10.780 I love that for y'all.

00:10:11.900 So we just.

00:10:12.520 It just doesn't rain.

00:10:13.980 I started doing, I started really channeling the inner white.

00:10:18.880 I started doing the grunting thing where I like hit it.

00:10:21.760 Makes you play better.

00:10:22.560 I just wanted to try it out, see what it was like, you know.

00:10:27.280 Yeah.

00:10:27.660 Here.

00:10:27.820 I was like, I would like be up on the thing.

00:10:29.820 A ball would come.

00:10:30.380 I'd be like.

00:10:31.540 Oh.

00:10:32.720 And it would go like way over the fence.

00:10:35.020 And yeah.

00:10:35.380 It would just.

00:10:35.920 Yeah.

00:10:36.160 Too powerful then.

00:10:37.300 Got to peel it back a little bit.

00:10:38.200 We can cut that out too, by the way.

00:10:39.900 Got to do it.

00:10:40.480 No, it's all right.

00:10:41.320 I'll magnify it.

00:10:42.380 Oh, God.

00:10:43.420 I'm scared.

00:10:44.200 I'll turn it up.

00:10:44.940 Yeah.

00:10:45.760 But yeah, yeah.

00:10:46.440 Tennis is, yeah.

00:10:47.560 That's your new hobby.

00:10:49.000 Yeah.

00:10:49.420 Other.

00:10:50.200 Just a thing.

00:10:50.900 Hyper, hyper focus.

00:10:52.540 Fixation.

00:10:52.940 Or hyper fixation, you know.

00:10:53.900 Hyper focus right now.

00:10:55.040 And also we've been trying to drink less, to be honest with you.

00:10:58.100 And be more active.

00:10:58.840 So at night we're like, we're like, we could like do this for like an hour and like, you

00:11:02.820 know.

00:11:03.780 And that offsets the 32 seltzers you have when you're home.

00:11:07.200 Well.

00:11:07.320 I'll get you.

00:11:07.840 Yes.

00:11:08.200 I feel you.

00:11:08.680 Exactly.

00:11:09.600 Life's about balance.

00:11:11.040 Right.

00:11:11.280 You have to.

00:11:12.040 Tennis is just like drinking almost.

00:11:13.660 If you really think about it.

00:11:15.720 Right.

00:11:16.160 You got to think deep, you know.

00:11:19.080 But it's there.

00:11:19.900 But it's there.

00:11:20.460 It's there.

00:11:21.060 Did you all play soccer?

00:11:22.140 Did you all play different sports or no sports at all?

00:11:24.400 Yeah.

00:11:24.600 I played soccer and lacrosse as well.

00:11:26.660 All right.

00:11:27.080 I played soccer, lacrosse, football, baseball.

00:11:30.260 All for like a year.

00:11:31.640 I'm not a big sport guy.

00:11:33.560 It's like all one and done, you know.

00:11:35.060 Oh, I tried it out for a year.

00:11:36.080 I was like, I hate this.

00:11:37.580 Because you're pretty tall.

00:11:38.400 So I imagine people would imagine you.

00:11:41.020 Football sucked.

00:11:41.920 I don't know why.

00:11:42.360 I just don't like hitting people.

00:11:44.080 And I would just be mad all the time.

00:11:45.780 I don't like being manhandled.

00:11:47.340 That's sweet.

00:11:47.520 And like, well, because I was just like the biggest kid on the field.

00:11:50.900 And so I was like, always on center or nose guard, which is like, I'm going against the biggest dudes.

00:11:56.000 And I was like, it just isn't fun.

00:11:57.900 I was like, I'm not going to go in the NFL.

00:12:00.400 I was like, why am I doing this?

00:12:01.480 You never know.

00:12:02.260 You never know.

00:12:03.000 What the fuck am I doing right now?

00:12:03.700 You're still young and in your prime.

00:12:05.740 It's not too late.

00:12:06.500 Yeah, you could still do it.

00:12:07.400 You never know.

00:12:08.960 I actually played soccer.

00:12:10.120 That was my main sport.

00:12:11.000 Oh, nice.

00:12:11.980 Growing up.

00:12:12.740 Did you play for like multiple years or was it like a one and done thing?

00:12:15.380 No, I played for like over 10 years.

00:12:17.260 I almost went to school to play.

00:12:18.540 Oh, wow.

00:12:19.400 That's awesome.

00:12:20.340 Yeah.

00:12:20.900 Yeah.

00:12:21.200 I played travel, like soccer for a long time.

00:12:23.640 That's dope.

00:12:23.900 What was your position?

00:12:25.320 You like to play?

00:12:25.860 I was a center defender.

00:12:27.420 Center right.

00:12:28.100 Nice.

00:12:28.640 Nice.

00:12:28.760 I was a defender too.

00:12:29.540 I got a few college scholarships, but I decided to go for school instead.

00:12:33.220 Nice.

00:12:33.520 I couldn't name you a single position on the field for soccer.

00:12:36.680 Goalie.

00:12:37.400 Oh, goalie.

00:12:38.180 Yeah.

00:12:38.420 Goalie.

00:12:38.900 All you need to know is I'm just running a lot.

00:12:41.040 Words.

00:12:41.520 Running.

00:12:41.820 90 minutes of running.

00:12:42.960 Touch the ball maybe twice.

00:12:44.240 Makes sense.

00:12:44.980 Love that for us.

00:12:46.080 Love that.

00:12:46.240 I was also the biggest soccer player they've ever seen in our entire life.

00:12:48.620 Really?

00:12:49.120 Yeah.

00:12:50.220 For a long time.

00:12:51.100 My mom had to carry my birth certificate.

00:12:52.860 What?

00:12:53.220 Because they'd be like, this grown man is on the field with seven-year-olds.

00:12:55.480 Is it like benchwomers, like I am 12?

00:12:57.880 Yeah.

00:12:58.180 Yeah.

00:12:58.460 Literally.

00:12:59.440 There's a 20 in there.

00:13:01.460 Yeah.

00:13:01.900 For real.

00:13:02.620 That was me.

00:13:04.040 Growing up, that was what I had to do because I was the biggest soccer player they've ever

00:13:07.380 seen in our lives.

00:13:08.300 I feel that.

00:13:09.280 But now you guys are a band.

00:13:10.820 Happy ending.

00:13:11.720 Thankfully.

00:13:12.360 Not in sports.

00:13:13.200 Not in sports.

00:13:14.060 Thank God.

00:13:14.860 Huh?

00:13:15.580 It worked out.

00:13:17.160 It all worked out.

00:13:18.160 You know?

00:13:18.340 I'm not a favorite.

00:13:23.160 Have you guys seen a lot of, like, success with kind of trying to couple, like, social

00:13:31.660 media with music and, like, promoting?

00:13:34.740 You know, because obviously you're a band first, but everybody, some people might know

00:13:38.380 you for simply, like, just the Can It Kirkland stuff.

00:13:41.100 Have you guys seen a lot of help?

00:13:43.040 Has it helped you kind of, like, maybe explore other things that you want to try?

00:13:46.340 It's a weird thing.

00:13:47.340 Like, it's definitely strange going into social media and being, like, a band at the same

00:13:52.340 time, especially because they're so different the way that we do it.

00:13:55.800 I think a lot of, like, groups, artists will just do the music thing, and their social media

00:14:00.080 is music as well.

00:14:01.020 Yeah.

00:14:01.560 While we have, like, two separate lives that we live.

00:14:04.280 Yeah.

00:14:05.140 But I think they, like, live in their special place.

00:14:09.720 Yeah.

00:14:10.520 For different things.

00:14:11.760 Yeah.

00:14:11.900 And it's definitely brought in so many people to our music, like, especially the Can It Kirkland

00:14:15.460 song.

00:14:16.340 Yeah.

00:14:16.640 A lot of people like.

00:14:18.180 Which was a good correlation because, like, people were like, oh, my God, I love this song

00:14:21.160 so much when we were like, yeah, because we're a band.

00:14:23.440 We make music, you know?

00:14:24.100 It's a funny thing.

00:14:24.460 We are a band.

00:14:25.000 We made that song at 3 a.m., you know, not in the right mindset, you know?

00:14:28.440 And it's like, you should hear the music we spend, like, years or months on, you know?

00:14:31.900 Yeah, yeah.

00:14:32.380 You know?

00:14:33.160 But, and I think, like, definitely blessed in the way that, like, that Can It Kirkland

00:14:37.780 happened because when we moved to L.A., like, we didn't know what we were going to do.

00:14:41.220 We didn't know if this whole thing would work.

00:14:43.440 It was, like, very scary.

00:14:44.400 And to, like, kind of touch down in Los Angeles and for it to work definitely helped the music

00:14:50.220 remarkably.

00:14:51.740 I mean, we went on tour.

00:14:53.680 We sold out, like, 20 shows, which was, like, we never did that before.

00:14:56.640 Absolutely insane.

00:14:57.780 Absolutely insane.

00:14:58.960 And it's, like, just smaller shows, but still, like, even have one person come to our show

00:15:03.860 and, like, you know.

00:15:05.340 Sold out is sold out, babe.

00:15:06.540 It doesn't matter the size of the room.

00:15:07.900 Sold out is sold out.

00:15:09.120 Take the dub.

00:15:09.920 Yeah, well, and it's just, like, it's, because we were so used for so many years to playing

00:15:15.480 to the bartenders or to the sound guy in the room, you know, like, there was no one

00:15:20.840 in the crowd, you know?

00:15:21.600 So, it's, like, it's really refreshing to see, like, we never, you know, anticipated

00:15:25.900 getting a huge, you know, fan base, you know, a huge audience with this kind of Kirkland

00:15:30.100 series, but we were just, like, let's just have fun.

00:15:32.280 We always used to make skits together, like, you know, just, like, for fun.

00:15:35.460 We were, like, let's just do what we always do and make, like, a little skit and it

00:15:39.240 just happened to be kind of Kirkland.

00:15:40.460 Thankfully, it's gotten us into the eyes of a lot of people that, you know, got to see

00:15:43.960 our personalities because, like, that I would say is, like, a big, not, like, flaw, but,

00:15:48.280 like, a thing that a lot of bands kind of, like, tend to stay away from is showing their

00:15:51.100 personality because, like, you have a fan base and it's, like, your fans kind of, like,

00:15:54.660 say, for instance, like, you have, like, you know, like, say, back in the day that all

00:15:58.220 the boy bands growing up in, like, the 2000s, you know, like, everyone had their favorite

00:16:01.840 member in, like, say, like, NSYNC or something like that because they were very good

00:16:05.960 at showing their personalities and stuff like that.

00:16:07.800 Same with One Direction, you know?

00:16:09.240 Like, everyone had their favorite One Direction member and it was, like, because they showed

00:16:13.300 their personality so well and thankfully, you know, Ken Kirkland has been that for us,

00:16:16.920 you know?

00:16:17.100 Yeah.

00:16:17.460 He got to show us, like, in a very effortless way, you know, like, hey, this is us just

00:16:21.500 being, you know, our normal friend group.

00:16:23.320 We just put a camera in front of it and, you know, decided to drink this.

00:16:26.320 And they are really like that.

00:16:27.440 I can confirm.

00:16:28.400 They are really like that.

00:16:29.580 You guys are exactly...

00:16:30.080 Not really much different on the camera.

00:16:31.980 No, it's really not different at all.

00:16:33.060 That's what we like to say.

00:16:34.160 You know, like, we're pretty much the same people on camera.

00:16:36.320 Also, I want to say, they record everything themselves.

00:16:39.880 They have no help.

00:16:41.380 Like, they just go and they're like, they're like, they're going to set up the tripod.

00:16:45.260 You can vibe with us.

00:16:46.080 Our Amazon light, our Amazon light, you know?

00:16:48.760 You guys do it all yourselves.

00:16:49.780 I think that's fucking awesome.

00:16:51.060 Thank you.

00:16:51.460 The light was just breaking.

00:16:52.620 You were like, I'm so sorry.

00:16:53.300 They're like, it's okay.

00:16:54.080 He's just going to hold it.

00:16:55.460 And then he was just...

00:16:56.060 It's okay.

00:16:56.360 Don't worry.

00:16:56.780 Don't worry.

00:16:56.980 All right, you're sure?

00:17:00.280 It's a great thing, though.

00:17:01.600 It's organic.

00:17:02.260 It's awesome.

00:17:02.600 It's awesome being in a position to be able to, like, do what we always dreamt of doing.

00:17:06.680 Yeah.

00:17:06.880 We're just doing weird shit, honestly.

00:17:08.260 Like, we have a series called John Salons 2, which is even weirder, where Johnny cuts

00:17:13.260 Conrad's hair.

00:17:14.140 And pretty much, yeah, just, like, physically assaults him off all day, you know?

00:17:18.160 The comments, smacking him.

00:17:19.420 I don't know if I'm shooting the series.

00:17:21.560 Well, you do it for the bit.

00:17:23.120 Love that.

00:17:23.820 A team player.

00:17:24.660 I can't believe this is, like, I just realized you guys are the Canna Kirkland guys.

00:17:28.780 It's like...

00:17:29.540 There you go.

00:17:29.900 It's just so weird.

00:17:31.220 Yeah, it's a cool thing, man.

00:17:33.080 It's a cool thing.

00:17:34.020 I think that's a really refreshing take on it, because I feel like, obviously, like,

00:17:39.460 this show, too, I've had lots of artists on, like, traditional music artists and everything,

00:17:42.860 but, like, I think sometimes the problem is they fight against social media, because

00:17:47.480 they're like, well, I don't want to be known as, like, a TikToker.

00:17:50.640 I want to be known as, like...

00:17:51.100 I want my art to speak for itself.

00:17:52.400 Yeah, I want to be known as an artist, which is, like...

00:17:54.660 It's just not the way of the world anymore.

00:17:56.520 Like, it's evolved greatly.

00:17:58.360 Now, you know, like, labels are forcing artists to get TikToks to promote music.

00:18:02.680 Exactly.

00:18:02.960 So the beautiful thing about you guys leaning into the skid is, like, well, I mean, I'm

00:18:06.840 funny, too, but, like, I also love music.

00:18:09.180 So, like, you could love me for either.

00:18:11.440 Yeah, exactly.

00:18:12.140 Exactly.

00:18:12.600 A ticket sold is a ticket sold, girl.

00:18:14.000 Even if you thought it was going to be a can of Kirkland.

00:18:15.620 Say it again.

00:18:16.880 Literally.

00:18:17.540 And they'll come and watch it.

00:18:18.540 They'll be like, oh, my God, they're so good.

00:18:19.900 They're a fucking Bama.

00:18:20.820 Yeah, that's awesome.

00:18:22.140 And it's also fun.

00:18:23.180 It's, like, fun to make...

00:18:24.680 I don't know.

00:18:24.940 I feel like we've been doing it for...

00:18:26.340 Like, we have videos from, like, when we were kids doing it.

00:18:28.920 Yeah.

00:18:29.200 So it's like, if we can just do this and make music, like, that's the life.

00:18:32.660 Yeah.

00:18:33.160 Why not?

00:18:33.600 Well, no, like you said, you're known for your personalities, too.

00:18:35.640 Yeah, yeah.

00:18:36.180 It's not just music or...

00:18:37.980 And kind of piggybacking on what you said earlier, like, about, like, the whole, like,

00:18:40.800 bands not leaning into, like, the social media thing.

00:18:42.800 It's like...

00:18:43.000 Yeah.

00:18:43.300 Especially with the way, like, a lot of these platforms work, like, they can put you in

00:18:47.720 front of so many eyes that you would never be able to, you know, be in front of.

00:18:51.940 And it's like...

00:18:52.220 Yeah.

00:18:52.640 It's kind of like, okay, like, there's one video that could, you know, blow up.

00:18:56.120 And it's like, that could be your moment to be like, hey, I want to showcase myself

00:18:58.900 to as many people as possible.

00:19:00.300 And thankfully, you know, like, there's platforms where they're, like, algorithms will just randomly

00:19:04.240 push, like, a random video of yours to 100,000 people overnight.

00:19:07.800 And it's like, that's so cool, you know?

00:19:09.240 Bands, please.

00:19:10.900 Please.

00:19:11.520 Use it.

00:19:12.180 This is my call to action right here, guys.

00:19:14.020 Use social media to your benefit.

00:19:16.340 It is so helpful.

00:19:17.820 I think, too, it also, it introduces you to brands and all of that.

00:19:22.380 Yes.

00:19:22.620 So you can do brand deals.

00:19:23.920 Yeah, like, financially.

00:19:25.520 And you can financially make this, like, a thing.

00:19:28.000 Yeah, while you continue being a band.

00:19:29.600 Exactly.

00:19:30.360 And regardless, we'd have to be doing something to...

00:19:32.700 There's no money in music unless you're, like, pop it.

00:19:35.400 Yeah.

00:19:35.940 Yeah, for real.

00:19:36.620 And it costs a lot of money to even do music.

00:19:39.420 And make it, yeah.

00:19:40.060 And we don't, like, we're not part of a record label or anything.

00:19:42.340 So, like, all the funding is ourselves.

00:19:44.460 Mm-hmm.

00:19:45.140 Like, obviously, you get a label come in.

00:19:46.740 But without that, it's pretty hard to do.

00:19:49.660 So this definitely, like, social media has basically bankrolled us to even be musicians.

00:19:55.320 Yeah.

00:19:55.520 In the first place.

00:19:56.300 Yeah.

00:19:56.480 Which is a good thing.

00:19:57.560 Which is an awesome thing, yeah.

00:19:58.820 And so how was your tour?

00:20:00.240 You guys just came off a tour.

00:20:01.880 It was great.

00:20:02.260 20 shows.

00:20:03.080 So much fun.

00:20:03.660 Well, that one, so that, so the 20 shows, that was back in October of last year.

00:20:11.140 Okay.

00:20:11.400 We just got back from opening for our buddies, Quarters of Change.

00:20:14.680 We did eight dates with them.

00:20:16.220 And that was pretty much just, like, East Coast, a little bit towards the Midwest.

00:20:19.820 And we got a little something coming up that hasn't been announced yet.

00:20:21.800 Got a little something coming up.

00:20:22.840 Not announced, but, you know, in the coming new year.

00:20:26.600 A little something something.

00:20:27.700 A little something.

00:20:28.120 A little something.

00:20:28.380 But, yeah, it was so much fun being able to go on the road with those guys because,

00:20:32.000 one, they're awesome musicians, awesome artists.

00:20:34.420 And it was just inspiring being able to see them on the road and just being able to see

00:20:38.900 all the fans, too.

00:20:39.720 Like, it was just an amazing time.

00:20:41.620 Yeah.

00:20:41.820 Like, there's nothing that we love more than just, like, going out and meeting the fans

00:20:45.840 who make all this possible for us.

00:20:47.800 Yeah.

00:20:47.960 So, like, I don't know.

00:20:48.900 I feel like being on the road really just kind of connects you and rekindles.

00:20:52.200 Like, it's easy to be out here in Los Angeles working on music and kind of get stuck in

00:20:56.800 the flow of things.

00:20:57.580 But, like, to get out to different cities, especially cities you've never been to, and

00:21:01.060 to see that there's a fan base for that, like, it's really inspiring and makes you so grateful

00:21:05.260 to just be where we are right now.

00:21:07.300 That's cool.

00:21:07.560 And I would say the one thing we do, too, like, at all of our shows.

00:21:10.520 We make it at every single one of our shows.

00:21:13.240 After our set, we go out into the crowd and we meet every single fan that we can possibly

00:21:17.100 meet.

00:21:17.300 That's so nice.

00:21:17.660 Every single one.

00:21:18.380 You guys are so nice.

00:21:19.320 Like, dude, like, that's our main thing because it's, like, y'all made it happen.

00:21:22.400 So, it's, like, why am I not going to say hi to you?

00:21:24.940 Like, some people are, like, wild.

00:21:26.300 Like, they'll, like, be, like, oh, my gosh, it's so crazy to me.

00:21:29.240 And I'm, like, of course I'm going to say hi.

00:21:31.300 Like, what's up?

00:21:32.080 Like, you made my dreams come true, you know?

00:21:34.560 That's so sweet, though.

00:21:34.680 The funniest thing about being, like, Kirkland, too, like, we were in Lawrence and we had,

00:21:38.760 like, a line of people waiting to meet us and, like, I, like, tapped Johnny and there's

00:21:41.320 just, like, five people with trays of shots.

00:21:44.660 Oh, yeah.

00:21:45.160 Oh, my gosh, you're going to take a shot with me.

00:21:46.820 And I'm, like, oh, no, dude, I'm, like, oh, okay.

00:21:50.060 Like, every fan comes up to you because we're kind of known for drinking.

00:21:52.820 So, they're, like, here, take a shot with me.

00:21:54.560 I got you a shot.

00:21:55.260 And we're, like, and you're, like, 10 in.

00:21:56.820 You're, like, oh, I'm okay.

00:21:57.900 It's, like, a fever dream.

00:21:58.840 But I love my fans, though.

00:22:00.560 Right, right.

00:22:01.180 I love my fans.

00:22:02.240 Dang.

00:22:02.740 Oh, shit.

00:22:03.600 Right, right.

00:22:04.140 Oh, lordy.

00:22:04.940 Yeah.

00:22:05.600 It's great, though.

00:22:06.180 That's crazy being known for that, too.

00:22:08.140 I was going to ask how you guys like touring.

00:22:17.420 It's exhausting.

00:22:18.320 It's exhausting.

00:22:19.240 Have you ever toured before, like, with your podcast?

00:22:20.720 I did for the very first time.

00:22:22.200 I did, like, a little comedy tour with my sister.

00:22:24.540 Like, we did, like, four shows earlier this year.

00:22:27.520 It ain't easy.

00:22:27.960 It's exhausting.

00:22:28.600 It ain't easy.

00:22:29.280 But also, it's, that's the only thing.

00:22:31.380 Like, I've done all kinds of crazy shit with this job.

00:22:34.240 But, like, that's the scariest shit I've ever done is, like, live performing.

00:22:38.120 Yeah, I'm dead serious.

00:22:39.120 Do you get, like, the, I call it, like, Adele talked about it.

00:22:42.080 She literally, before every single one of her shows, has said that she, like, gets deathly

00:22:46.960 nervous, like, to a point where she's, like, in the bathroom, like, throwing up.

00:22:49.920 Like, every single show.

00:22:51.380 She's been doing it for so long.

00:22:52.340 She's, like, I get so nervous before the show.

00:22:54.440 It's, like, I get such terrible stage fright.

00:22:56.360 Yeah, I kind of felt like that.

00:22:57.580 I never really feel nervous ever.

00:22:59.320 I get that, too.

00:23:00.140 But, like, that made me nervous.

00:23:00.900 I get that, too, before show.

00:23:02.280 Yeah.

00:23:02.600 Yeah, so I get the drinking, because, like, I told y'all I don't really drink that much,

00:23:06.400 but on tour, I was drinking.

00:23:07.420 Oh, hell yeah.

00:23:07.920 I was, like, I need that shit, girl.

00:23:09.600 Oh, hell yeah.

00:23:09.800 Know me before I...

00:23:10.920 Yeah, I need to relax a little bit.

00:23:12.940 Yeah, I need to relax a little bit.

00:23:13.080 A little fun story from tour.

00:23:14.680 So, I can't remember what state we were in.

00:23:16.760 Do you remember the state?

00:23:17.620 It was Milwaukee.

00:23:18.500 It was X-Ray.

00:23:19.360 So, we were in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and I think it's Wisconsin.

00:23:22.920 Yeah.

00:23:23.060 Anyways, there was this, you know, very kind young woman that came up to me and was, like...

00:23:29.900 She was with her boyfriend, I'm assuming, and she comes up to me, and she's, like...

00:23:34.580 It was after the show.

00:23:35.520 I think she was one of the other band's fans, so she didn't really recognize me or whatever.

00:23:38.800 And she was, like, hey, has anybody ever told you, like, you look like the Kenneth Kirkland

00:23:42.760 guy, and I literally, I'm being...

00:23:45.020 I'm so dumb, and I'm just, like, yeah, I get that a lot.

00:23:48.140 No, no, Johnny goes, oh, yeah, I've heard that before, and I'm right next to him, and

00:23:52.500 I was, like, hey, sorry, did you say, does he look like the Kenneth Kirkland guy?

00:23:56.380 And she was, like, yeah, and I was, like, that is him.

00:23:58.720 And I was, like, oh, yeah, yeah, and I was, like, yeah, that is me.

00:24:01.860 She yelled so loud.

00:24:03.440 She was, like, wait.

00:24:04.560 Oh, my God.

00:24:05.100 She was, like, what the fuck?

00:24:06.140 And I was, like, I didn't realize.

00:24:08.000 I said, like, oh, yeah, I get that a lot, man.

00:24:10.460 Oh, it's crazy.

00:24:11.420 Yeah, crazy, yeah.

00:24:12.100 I do look like the Kenneth Kirkland guy, huh?

00:24:13.360 I do look exactly like him.

00:24:14.620 I should start leaning into that whenever someone says, are you the Kenneth Kirkland guy?

00:24:18.340 I'm, like, no, I just look like him.

00:24:19.880 Just put on the red glasses.

00:24:21.420 No, it's not me.

00:24:22.360 Yeah, just lie.

00:24:23.080 Just lie every time.

00:24:24.140 You're, like, I actually never heard of that guy.

00:24:26.580 Yeah, who?

00:24:26.960 You're, like, who the fuck are you talking about?

00:24:28.860 Say it again.

00:24:29.660 Yeah, it was crazy.

00:24:30.700 Yeah, one time I had a girl come up to me.

00:24:32.960 I was in Hawaii, and she came up to me, and she was, like, oh, my gosh, like, I'm such a

00:24:36.980 big fan of your content stuff.

00:24:39.000 I was, like, thank you so much.

00:24:40.040 And she goes, yeah, like, yeah, I just love you so much.

00:24:44.260 And she called me Coco.

00:24:45.980 And then I go, did you say Coco?

00:24:47.960 She goes, yeah.

00:24:48.500 I go, oh, girl, that's not me.

00:24:50.960 Oh, no.

00:24:52.220 No.

00:24:53.420 No, that is you.

00:24:54.300 Like, she's, like, arguing with me.

00:24:55.700 I said, if you're asking me if my name is Coco, the answer is no.

00:25:00.960 So I don't want to take credit for whoever Coco is.

00:25:05.040 What the fuck is Coco?

00:25:06.540 I still don't know.

00:25:08.020 I still don't know.

00:25:09.300 And then she was with a twin, and her twin was, like, I don't think that's her.

00:25:13.100 Like, I heard her twin going, I don't think that's her.

00:25:14.500 Oh, no.

00:25:15.380 And then she was going, no, it is her.

00:25:16.980 It is her.

00:25:17.520 It literally is.

00:25:18.260 Like, she's, like, arguing with her sister, arguing with me.

00:25:20.040 I'm, like, okay, well, I'm not, but love you.

00:25:22.620 I'm exiting the situation.

00:25:23.940 Have a wonderful life.

00:25:24.980 Bye.

00:25:25.080 I feel like you don't need me for this part of the conversation.

00:25:27.420 Love you so much, though.

00:25:28.260 Love you.

00:25:28.680 Bye.

00:25:29.300 I'm sure Coco loves you, too.

00:25:30.680 Whoever she is.

00:25:31.440 Coco loves you.

00:25:31.820 So if you've ever seen this, Coco, I don't know if we look alike, but.

00:25:35.220 Coco.

00:25:35.740 I'm doing well out there, Coco.

00:25:38.240 Love you, Coco.

00:25:39.300 Sometimes I'll get people who approach me, but it's very obvious they don't know my name.

00:25:44.500 Yeah.

00:25:44.820 So they're, like, I know you from that thing.

00:25:47.140 I've seen you online.

00:25:48.240 And they sit there, they're, like, hold on, let me think about it.

00:25:50.160 It's that thing.

00:25:52.060 I can't.

00:25:52.720 And I'm standing there.

00:25:54.040 And you're just, like.

00:25:54.600 The whole time.

00:25:56.920 You know what that thing is.

00:25:58.720 Probably.

00:25:59.260 I don't know.

00:26:00.640 I'm sure you all get that, too.

00:26:02.000 They're, like, you look so familiar.

00:26:03.700 You look like someone.

00:26:04.700 I had someone one time, they came up to me at, like, a bar in Ocean City, Maryland.

00:26:08.840 And they were, like, you're a kind of crooked guy.

00:26:11.700 And I was, like, yeah, blah, blah, blah.

00:26:12.500 And then I was, like, talking to her.

00:26:13.360 I was, like, yeah, like, I'm number two.

00:26:15.120 And she got, like, really, like, upset.

00:26:17.320 And I was, like, huh.

00:26:18.340 And then she left.

00:26:19.100 And then she DMed me.

00:26:19.840 And she was, like, don't consider yourself number two behind anyone.

00:26:23.460 She's, like, you're going to be number one.

00:26:25.120 The way she's mad at you.

00:26:26.180 I was, like, your confidence wasn't where she needed it to be.

00:26:29.040 Right, right.

00:26:29.440 And I was, like, no, no.

00:26:30.700 Like, I drink second on the show.

00:26:33.720 You're, like.

00:26:34.580 I'm the second alcoholic that comes up.

00:26:36.660 You are number one.

00:26:37.900 You are special.

00:26:39.060 Right.

00:26:39.400 I was, like.

00:26:40.360 You are number one always.

00:26:41.720 She's, like, you know what?

00:26:42.340 I was thinking about it.

00:26:43.080 And I have to send you a message.

00:26:44.400 Don't ever consider yourself number two.

00:26:46.200 Right.

00:26:46.520 Girl, no, I meant literally number two.

00:26:48.840 I'm, like, why am I.

00:26:49.740 Contestant number two.

00:26:50.380 I'm upset.

00:26:51.080 And I was, like, shit.

00:26:51.740 I didn't even thought about it like that.

00:26:52.840 Contestant number two.

00:26:53.780 What are you talking about?

00:26:54.240 The way she got immediately mad at you.

00:26:56.300 She did.

00:26:57.360 I, like, ruined our whole conversation by simply stating I'm number two.

00:27:01.920 It was crazy.

00:27:02.780 I had a girl come up to me once.

00:27:05.120 And she was, like, oh, love your content.

00:27:06.720 Blah, blah, blah.

00:27:07.280 Asked for a picture.

00:27:07.980 I'm, like, yeah.

00:27:08.700 She takes a picture with me.

00:27:09.880 Turns around.

00:27:10.900 Walks back to her friends.

00:27:11.800 Her friend.

00:27:12.200 I could tell her friends are asking her who I am because they didn't know.

00:27:15.000 Yeah.

00:27:15.340 And then she goes, I don't know her fucking name.

00:27:17.240 I just know she's on TikTok.

00:27:18.340 Oh.

00:27:19.020 She's this close to me.

00:27:20.360 I'm, like, I can hear you, but.

00:27:22.260 I'm Coco, bitch.

00:27:23.460 I'm so good.

00:27:26.220 You're telling me you've never heard of Coco?

00:27:27.980 I'm Coco.

00:27:29.880 That's why I was, like, love that.

00:27:31.880 Oh, my God.

00:27:32.320 Love that.

00:27:32.940 Yes.

00:27:33.020 Love that.

00:27:33.980 Yeah.

00:27:34.400 I don't know her fucking name.

00:27:35.760 Okay.

00:27:36.340 Cool.

00:27:36.820 Cool.

00:27:37.640 Thanks.

00:27:37.840 Cool.

00:27:38.700 I'm still in earshot.

00:27:40.140 Like, let me get away from you first.

00:27:41.760 Right.

00:27:42.040 I appreciate that.

00:27:43.500 Do you guys primarily notice you have more so female fans than anything?

00:27:47.600 Oh, yeah.

00:27:48.100 Yeah?

00:27:48.360 Yeah.

00:27:48.900 Girls and the gays?

00:27:49.760 Mm-hmm.

00:27:50.020 Same.

00:27:50.860 Yeah.

00:27:51.140 Same.

00:27:51.560 It's a good thing.

00:27:52.220 It's a wonderful thing.

00:27:52.840 Oh, definitely.

00:27:53.640 It's a beautiful thing.

00:27:54.540 I love our fan base.

00:27:55.440 Same.

00:27:55.760 Yeah, it's awesome.

00:27:56.860 Definitely.

00:27:57.440 Especially at shows, like, everyone goes so hard.

00:28:00.360 Yeah.

00:28:00.540 Which is, like, kind of, like, I don't know, you don't see it as much now, like, shows these

00:28:04.220 days, and, like, it's so cool to see the energy levels, like, at shows.

00:28:07.600 It's just awesome.

00:28:08.860 People getting it.

00:28:09.780 So.

00:28:09.920 I can only imagine.

00:28:10.980 It's badass, yeah.

00:28:11.400 It's so fun.

00:28:12.400 I get, I was getting super nervous, like, live touring, too, so I can't imagine how you

00:28:17.460 guys feel, because I can't sing for shit, but y'all are, like, an actual musical group,

00:28:21.640 so I can't even imagine.

00:28:23.160 I can't play an instrument.

00:28:24.820 Nothing.

00:28:25.500 Yeah, I'll say it's easier to have the music to sort of hide behind, because I don't have

00:28:29.820 to get up there and be like, so, guys, like, how's everyone's day going?

00:28:32.900 I get to, you know, we get to, like, plug in, turn the amps up, and just, like, kind

00:28:38.920 of get lost, so I think that definitely helps.

00:28:41.320 Like, when I'm backstage, I get, like, nervous, and I'll start to overthink and spiral, but

00:28:45.760 then once I get out there, I just plug in, start making noise.

00:28:48.700 It's just, like.

00:28:49.380 Feel good.

00:28:49.440 There's, like, moments, too, like, say, for instance, when I'm up on stage, fans, too,

00:28:52.500 whoever's watching, you guys will probably notice this at shows.

00:28:55.320 If I get really nervous for a show, I'll just go up on stage and just close my eyes

00:28:58.540 and just, like, act like I'm just, like, jamming out.

00:29:00.860 Oh, that's smart, though.

00:29:01.920 I'm just, like, I just gotta give myself a second to breathe, you know, like, yeah,

00:29:05.580 I'm just having an anxiety attack on stage.

00:29:07.200 Acclimated.

00:29:09.240 Girl, that's me panicking.

00:29:11.340 That's me struggling.

00:29:12.880 Which is even hard, like, even singing, too, I kind of have to, like, think of things to

00:29:16.960 say.

00:29:17.720 Like, I don't know.

00:29:18.020 Oh, in between.

00:29:18.600 Every song, I'm, like.

00:29:19.300 Oh, yeah.

00:29:19.860 Yeah, and half the time, I'm, like, out of breath, because I was so out of shape on tour, like,

00:29:23.140 jumping around singing, I'm, like, yeah, what the fuck's up, everybody?

00:29:26.640 Like, holy shit.

00:29:29.400 Like, getting lightheaded, like, up on stage.

00:29:32.280 It's, like, I saw, like, Beyonce, like, when she did her Coachella performance, like,

00:29:37.920 Beachella or whatever, she would run a mile and sing at the same time.

00:29:41.820 Like, so she would be running and belting.

00:29:44.360 Like, she's, like, jumping on my.

00:29:46.220 I'm sleeping like a baby tonight.

00:29:49.180 Knees gonna be aching.

00:29:51.120 Knees gonna be aching, you know?

00:29:52.620 Going to sleep like a little baby, you know?

00:29:54.200 So you guys said that you played a lot of, like, little gigs before, right?

00:29:58.020 Like, free gigs, that kind of stuff.

00:29:59.240 Oh, yeah.

00:29:59.660 What's the weirdest gig you've ever done?

00:30:01.840 Oh, Jack, take that.

00:30:03.120 No, Jack, take that.

00:30:03.860 Me?

00:30:04.040 Yeah, no, the hard hat.

00:30:05.600 Oh, right, right.

00:30:06.320 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:30:06.780 So I, like.

00:30:08.620 Come on.

00:30:09.140 Yeah, I was doing a.

00:30:10.360 This gives me PTSD.

00:30:11.380 I'm not even going to lie.

00:30:11.700 I did an acoustic gig.

00:30:12.720 I got offered to do an acoustic gig at, like, a new company.

00:30:16.100 And I was, like, word.

00:30:17.100 It's, like, right in Baltimore City.

00:30:19.220 And they were, like, can you play, like, a four-hour set?

00:30:20.940 And I was, like, sure, and I roll up, and it's a construction site.

00:30:24.380 And this building is not.

00:30:26.200 Four hours.

00:30:26.780 Four hours.

00:30:27.280 That was a typical time.

00:30:29.020 Nine to one a.m. usually was, like, the typical time we were playing.

00:30:30.960 This was, like, six to ten.

00:30:32.960 And I rolled up, and it's an incomplete building.

00:30:35.840 You could see through it.

00:30:37.140 It's an active construction site.

00:30:39.900 I was, like, surely I must be at the wrong location.

00:30:43.200 And then some girl, like, rolls down.

00:30:44.780 She's, like, are you the.

00:30:45.400 And, like, I was working for a loft at the time,

00:30:46.980 so I was, like, wearing, like, a tie and shit.

00:30:49.940 Oh.

00:30:50.340 Like, totally unqualified for that job, first and foremost.

00:30:54.100 But, um.

00:30:54.760 Let's get that out of the way.

00:30:55.700 I know nothing about the law.

00:30:58.500 I'm going to court in March.

00:30:59.620 Someone help me.

00:31:01.640 Yeah, so she's, like, yeah, yeah, you're playing on the fourth floor.

00:31:05.080 She's, like, unfortunately, you have to walk up all, like,

00:31:06.940 these wooden stairs to get up there.

00:31:08.600 Oh, nice.

00:31:09.520 And keep in mind, incomplete building.

00:31:11.880 Not yet with walls.

00:31:13.220 This is a music gig.

00:31:14.060 And then she hands me a hard hat and, like, a vest.

00:31:18.300 And she's, like, you don't happen to have, like,

00:31:19.380 steel-toed boots on you, do you?

00:31:20.600 I swear to God.

00:31:22.280 And I was, like, no, I don't.

00:31:23.760 Are you sensitive to, like, bricks falling on your head?

00:31:26.240 You're right.

00:31:27.060 I'm supposed to ask.

00:31:27.820 The building could come down while you're playing Wonderwall.

00:31:32.080 While you're playing Freebird.

00:31:33.200 It was just while I was playing counting crows.

00:31:35.500 Oh, God.

00:31:36.580 Some balls on you?

00:31:37.640 Literally, people were taking pictures of me while I was playing,

00:31:40.580 and I'm just, like, this is the lowest point of my life.

00:31:43.680 Yes, at least.

00:31:44.100 No, not at all.

00:31:45.660 And none of them had to wear a hard hat.

00:31:47.340 I was, like, dude, this is embarrassing.

00:31:49.080 They made you wear it while you played?

00:31:50.400 Yeah.

00:31:51.200 It was crazy.

00:31:51.800 It was, like, the wildest era.

00:31:53.480 Why an open construction?

00:31:55.500 It was, like, a new company.

00:31:57.040 And it was, like, a...

00:31:58.180 It was a corporate event.

00:31:59.120 Corporate event, yeah.

00:31:59.460 They give it as, like, a corporate event.

00:32:00.660 Like, when a business puts on an event,

00:32:02.060 they get, like, a band or, like, a single person playing music.

00:32:04.280 Yeah, kind of like a wedding.

00:32:05.080 That's what Jack was hired for.

00:32:06.180 And it was next to the highway,

00:32:07.260 so I just hear beeping and cars,

00:32:09.120 and I'm, like, dude, like...

00:32:11.220 So, thank God we're here now.

00:32:12.780 It's so wrenching.

00:32:13.820 And I'll see, like, videos on Facebook of, like, all that,

00:32:16.460 and I'm, like, damn, I get PTSD from that very moment.

00:32:19.200 What about as a group?

00:32:20.340 Like...

00:32:20.740 We got booked at this one gig.

00:32:22.120 It was in Pennsylvania.

00:32:23.860 And, like, the middle of Pennsylvania.

00:32:26.000 Like, there's not really much there.

00:32:28.380 There's farms.

00:32:29.580 Just a bunch of farms.

00:32:31.000 We're driving up, and it's, like,

00:32:32.360 okay, maybe this isn't, like...

00:32:34.360 I don't know if we belong here.

00:32:36.380 It was, like, a biker festival or some shit.

00:32:38.780 And then there's just, like, you know...

00:32:40.420 Yeah, we get there.

00:32:41.360 There's a barbecue and biker festival.

00:32:43.460 And you guys being there is so funny.

00:32:47.340 That's so funny.

00:32:48.260 We played, like, jazz fucking music,

00:32:49.520 so we're, like, oh, who the fuck's going to listen to this?

00:32:51.300 There's, like, pictures of, like, AR-15s, like, you know, like...

00:32:54.840 It's, like, come and take it.

00:32:56.180 A bunch of stickers.

00:32:57.140 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:32:58.140 And you're, like...

00:32:58.660 And we're just, like...

00:32:59.240 No, they're, like, selling that, like...

00:33:00.920 That's crazy.

00:33:02.240 Giant open market, and we're just, like...

00:33:03.900 They're selling chicken legs and guns?

00:33:05.280 And we're, like, we aren't the ones, like, to be here.

00:33:09.180 I got out of the truck when we first got to the place.

00:33:13.440 I got out of the truck, and I looked at all of them.

00:33:15.360 I was, like, where the fuck are we right now?

00:33:17.300 I was, like, what the fuck is this?

00:33:17.900 Johnny goes, I'm going home.

00:33:19.160 I'm going home.

00:33:19.860 Johnny got out of the truck and said,

00:33:21.100 guys, we're turning around.

00:33:22.300 We're leaving.

00:33:23.080 I'm, like, what the fuck is this?

00:33:24.140 Johnny, I feel uncomfortable as well.

00:33:26.460 We need that paycheck.

00:33:28.780 Roll us a quick gig.

00:33:30.060 We'll just do it real quick.

00:33:30.960 And it was just, like, it was the weirdest experience.

00:33:34.860 Because they were uncomfortable that we were there, too.

00:33:37.620 Yeah, like, the vibes were felt on both sides.

00:33:40.020 Yeah, they were, like, we should have hired somebody else.

00:33:42.020 We're, like, we know.

00:33:42.880 I think we took it so not serious.

00:33:44.680 I found it on my phone.

00:33:45.980 We wrote, like, three songs on stage.

00:33:49.580 We were just, like, fuck it, boys.

00:33:50.700 Let's improvise.

00:33:51.660 Like, this is the worst.

00:33:52.780 You just started doing bits.

00:33:53.580 We literally just started doing bits.

00:33:55.700 Started doing, like, physical comedy.

00:33:58.340 Right, right.

00:33:59.020 We were just talking and saying, I'm just like, how many of you guys go to high school?

00:34:03.080 I think they started doing, like, keg throws, too.

00:34:06.120 Yeah, then there's this huge guy just starts throwing kegs.

00:34:09.680 And I'm, like, hey, boys.

00:34:10.600 At y'all?

00:34:11.680 No, it was just, like.

00:34:12.620 Like, to see how, like, a competition style.

00:34:14.680 That was after our set.

00:34:15.520 And I was, like, guys, can we get the fuck out of here?

00:34:16.860 Yeah, you're, like, why are we still here?

00:34:18.820 I was, like, yeah, can we leave, please?

00:34:20.080 That's the cue.

00:34:20.780 Yeah, that's the worst.

00:34:21.400 Have you guys ever been heckled?

00:34:22.960 Yes.

00:34:23.560 Yeah.

00:34:24.340 Another PA story, dude.

00:34:25.820 Another Pennsylvania story.

00:34:26.840 Yeah, we played a game.

00:34:27.780 They really don't like you there.

00:34:29.000 We played a gig in PA.

00:34:32.340 We had, yeah.

00:34:32.700 At the time, we were, like, a jazz funk band.

00:34:35.620 We went to, yeah, in college.

00:34:37.700 We always started our, like, bar gig sets with, like, this long jam called Strasburg

00:34:43.560 by this guy, Roy Hargrove.

00:34:45.320 And it's, like, a great song.

00:34:47.500 It's a groovy.

00:34:48.260 Yeah.

00:34:48.520 We got done.

00:34:49.700 We killed it.

00:34:50.800 And this guy goes, like, are you guys going to play any songs with words?

00:34:54.600 And we were just, like, yeah, man.

00:34:56.820 This is our first song.

00:34:58.540 You're, like, I've got four hours left.

00:35:00.360 More hours, baby.

00:35:01.160 Hey, lock in.

00:35:02.480 You're being a while.

00:35:03.920 And then he came up with a 20.

00:35:05.980 No, he bet us.

00:35:07.320 He goes, I bet you can't play anything good for $20.

00:35:10.540 And we're, like, Jesus.

00:35:12.160 Girl, the difference is I need the 20.

00:35:13.960 You're right.

00:35:14.760 And we're, like, got it.

00:35:15.140 You're going to need your words, buddy.

00:35:16.340 I want words, yeah.

00:35:17.740 Remember we played Johnny Cash?

00:35:18.960 Yeah, we played, like, bring our followers.

00:35:19.240 And then we just busted out a Johnny Cash song.

00:35:20.780 He's, like, nice.

00:35:22.120 Just gave us this one.

00:35:22.920 He was, like, pandering.

00:35:25.280 Panderingly.

00:35:25.860 Just imagine this group of people at a biker bar in the middle of PA.

00:35:30.580 Like, people, we walked in there, and, like, the record scratched.

00:35:33.760 Everyone walked our direction.

00:35:34.860 We're, like, we're the band.

00:35:36.260 We're here to play.

00:35:36.660 We had a flute player in the band.

00:35:38.460 So there was a flute solo that went down.

00:35:41.980 We had a flute and a saxophone.

00:35:43.840 It was just not.

00:35:45.040 I didn't know bikers fuck with jazz like that.

00:35:47.180 They don't.

00:35:47.920 They don't.

00:35:48.460 They don't.

00:35:48.980 Why are they hiring you guys so much?

00:35:50.520 I don't know.

00:35:51.060 That is the question, Drew.

00:35:52.640 That's the problem.

00:35:54.200 Maybe they just, maybe they think you're all just so attractive.

00:35:56.860 Maybe that's what it is.

00:35:57.280 I think it was a mistake.

00:35:58.820 I think it was a misstep.

00:35:59.900 Our fans are 90% girls, 10% bikers.

00:36:03.000 It's our TikTok.

00:36:03.480 I was going to say.

00:36:04.280 It's our TikTok.

00:36:05.320 Maybe there's, like, one biker.

00:36:06.720 10% Pennsylvanian bikers.

00:36:09.360 Specifically.

00:36:10.080 Specifically Pennsylvania.

00:36:10.920 Pennsylvania.

00:36:11.120 Pennsylvania bikers.

00:36:12.040 Got a huge market in Pennsylvania, guys.

00:36:13.980 You guys got shit.

00:36:15.100 You know?

00:36:15.560 But not in any of the cities.

00:36:18.100 I've never done anything, like, obviously I'm not musically gifted, literally at all.

00:36:22.100 But I, when I was in high school, I used to dance, like, do cultural dance.

00:36:25.760 Because I'm Samoan.

00:36:26.620 Sure.

00:36:27.240 So, like, I used to do, like, Polynesian dancing.

00:36:29.280 Okay.

00:36:29.860 You know, people love that shit.

00:36:31.180 Like, they love to watch Tahitian hula, like, that kind of stuff.

00:36:34.260 So, I used to do that in high school.

00:36:35.880 And, like, one time we got asked to dance at a senior citizen home.

00:36:39.680 And I was, senior citizen homes, like, they be hiring Polynesian dance groups.

00:36:43.840 Like, they love, they love to hire them.

00:36:46.280 Sure.

00:36:46.420 And so, we go, and I'm, like, 17.

00:36:49.920 Or not even, I was younger than that.

00:36:51.080 I think I was, like, 15.

00:36:52.040 Worried about this one.

00:36:53.580 What's going to happen next?

00:36:54.560 And, like, I could have dropped dead in front of them, and they wouldn't have cared.

00:36:57.780 Like, they, they were so not entertained.

00:37:00.700 It's not even funny.

00:37:01.320 And it's, like, the room was so small that, like, we were this close.

00:37:06.680 And we're, like, dancing.

00:37:08.340 And then the old people, not happy at all.

00:37:11.180 They're, like, really?

00:37:12.280 Yeah, you end, they're just, like.

00:37:14.020 Yeah, and then in between, yeah, it's silent.

00:37:16.760 Not even claps.

00:37:17.620 Like, they're not even going to clap because they're all old as fuck.

00:37:20.340 And this is my next installment.

00:37:22.080 Yeah, and then they're just, they're just kind of sitting there.

00:37:23.800 Like, they wheel them in there, and they can't get out on their own.

00:37:27.180 So, it's kind of, like, they're trapped.

00:37:28.360 Oh, my God.

00:37:29.140 So, it's, like, you're performing for hostages.

00:37:31.120 Ew.

00:37:31.600 Oh, no.

00:37:32.140 It was so bad.

00:37:33.780 It was so awkward.

00:37:35.220 And it's so funny because, like, a lot of the men's dancing and cultural dancing, like,

00:37:39.840 Polynesian stuff, there's a lot of slapping.

00:37:41.640 Like, there's a lot of, like, sound.

00:37:42.960 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:37:43.940 That's all you hear.

00:37:45.040 Just slapping, no claps.

00:37:46.660 The reverberation of slaps.

00:37:48.420 Yeah, and then them chanting, and then old people just sitting there, like.

00:37:52.440 Just so.

00:37:53.120 So, they didn't, not only did they not get it, they didn't like it.

00:37:56.100 And then I remember at the very end.

00:37:57.520 It's so uncomfortable.

00:37:58.160 One of them.

00:37:59.280 One of them was, like, trying to talk to me.

00:38:01.080 So, I was like, oh.

00:38:02.040 Like, I went closer.

00:38:03.080 And then the lady goes, they said that we were going to get lunch.

00:38:06.520 So, like, is there lunch or is it just this?

00:38:09.940 And I go, you know, I'm probably not the person to ask considering I'm the higher half.

00:38:14.180 I'm out of here yet.

00:38:15.220 See ya.

00:38:15.860 I'm the shit that you're being forced to watch.

00:38:17.840 I don't know about the lunch, personally.

00:38:20.340 And the lady was just like, ugh.

00:38:22.980 Like, she's so pissed off at me.

00:38:24.400 Oh, that is so bad.

00:38:25.120 And I was like, love that.

00:38:26.960 That is crazy.

00:38:27.820 Love that so much.

00:38:28.320 How long was that?

00:38:29.040 Was that, like, an hour?

00:38:30.020 That was two hours.

00:38:30.900 Oh.

00:38:31.380 Like, two fucking hours.

00:38:33.220 You get done the first song.

00:38:34.380 And we switch.

00:38:35.360 No, we switch costumes.

00:38:37.400 And, like, you switch islands.

00:38:38.700 And you do a different.

00:38:40.000 Everyone got worse.

00:38:40.980 Like, it was like, they were even more annoyed.

00:38:43.540 They were like, you got another one?

00:38:45.420 Like, wrap it up.

00:38:46.980 They're like, where's my oatmeal?

00:38:48.500 I even tried to ask.

00:38:49.740 I was like, should we just, like, cut it?

00:38:51.760 Or, like.

00:38:52.080 I would pull the plug.

00:38:52.860 The lady's like, no, they love it.

00:38:54.000 They love it.

00:38:54.780 That's not true.

00:38:55.580 You're like.

00:38:56.180 That's not true at all.

00:38:57.060 I don't think so.

00:38:57.800 Their facial reactions don't say they love it.

00:38:59.720 Well, that lady told me she wanted the lunch.

00:39:01.540 And she didn't want to watch this.

00:39:02.420 So, I'm assuming they didn't love it.

00:39:04.160 It's not the funnest thing in the world.

00:39:07.660 I guess that's not the ideal market for you.

00:39:09.520 You know?

00:39:10.120 I don't know.

00:39:11.160 Senior citizen home.

00:39:12.240 You know?

00:39:12.860 I would have, like, let into it.

00:39:13.960 I would have been like, guys, what are we doing here?

00:39:15.320 Like, what's going on?

00:39:17.060 I'll start doing this.

00:39:17.940 I'll get anything from y'all.

00:39:18.520 Anything.

00:39:19.060 Anything at all.

00:39:19.740 It's all about give and take, you know?

00:39:21.060 Give me a snack.

00:39:21.820 You give to me, I can give back to you.

00:39:23.480 Give me a smile.

00:39:24.540 Jesus Christ.

00:39:25.340 Just give me something.

00:39:26.240 I don't know.

00:39:26.640 I'm looking at you like you're not even there.

00:39:28.120 It was pretty bad.

00:39:29.480 Even when I was, like.

00:39:30.700 So many of my family members, like, did cultural dancing.

00:39:33.660 Sure.

00:39:33.840 But I'm, like, the only Polynesian on planet Earth that can't sing or play an instrument.

00:39:38.160 So, my whole family can play music.

00:39:40.100 They sing.

00:39:40.560 All that shit.

00:39:41.360 And we used to, like, my cousins would go perform or whatever places.

00:39:45.200 And I remember I had an uncle that, he's, like, okay, just to set the scene.

00:39:49.840 He's, like, in his 60s.

00:39:51.160 Old man.

00:39:51.960 Sure.

00:39:52.260 Nice guy.

00:39:52.840 Old man.

00:39:53.700 And I remember my boyfriend now.

00:39:56.100 We went to high school together.

00:39:57.160 We weren't dating in high school.

00:39:58.260 Sure.

00:39:58.420 He had a graduation party.

00:40:00.560 And he said he hired, like, a group to dance and sing and stuff.

00:40:04.100 I was, like, oh, we're sick.

00:40:05.500 And it's a high school party, right?

00:40:07.400 My uncle's Mormon.

00:40:08.600 That's an important context.

00:40:10.000 Okay.

00:40:10.340 So, I go to the party.

00:40:11.340 We're late.

00:40:12.120 And then we're walking up.

00:40:13.140 And I'm, like, that truck looks familiar.

00:40:14.860 To my sister.

00:40:15.460 And she goes, yeah, it does look familiar.

00:40:16.920 Go in.

00:40:17.560 He's in the middle of his performance.

00:40:19.400 Turns out it's my uncle, right?

00:40:20.500 Oh, my God.

00:40:21.220 Right.

00:40:21.420 But he's topless and he's, like, fire knife dancing in front of my high school friends.

00:40:28.140 And he's, again, 60.

00:40:29.980 Oh, my God.

00:40:30.380 So, I watch and I'm, like, that's my uncle.

00:40:33.340 I'm, like, watching him dance and I'm, like, oh, my fucking God.

00:40:37.400 He's, like, spinning this.

00:40:38.480 Obviously, it's fire knife.

00:40:39.320 He's spinning it.

00:40:40.120 He's performing.

00:40:40.640 He's good, but he's old.

00:40:41.940 And he's, like, doing this shit.

00:40:43.100 And then he puts it out in my boyfriend's pool.

00:40:46.080 Puts it out in the pool.

00:40:47.060 And then he's, like, and then nobody claps.

00:40:49.160 Okay, that was my question.

00:40:51.880 Was it well-received by the high schoolers?

00:40:53.920 It ended up being received well to an extent.

00:40:56.960 Another tough crowd.

00:40:58.140 Yeah, another tough crowd.

00:40:59.440 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:40:59.880 High school kids don't really give a fuck about that.

00:41:01.440 But then he came and saw me later.

00:41:02.680 He's, like, oh, my God.

00:41:04.680 Titties out.

00:41:05.500 I'm, like, so good to see you.

00:41:08.640 Just topless.

00:41:09.440 Oh, my God.

00:41:10.060 Yeah, so I'll be seeing you.

00:41:11.240 So I give you guys props.

00:41:12.940 Performing is not for the weak.

00:41:14.620 It's not for the faint of heart.

00:41:15.920 No.

00:41:16.800 It's tough.

00:41:17.520 Especially when you're in the wrong place in the wrong time.

00:41:20.080 You know what I'm saying?

00:41:20.260 Especially when you're performing jazz in front of bikers.

00:41:22.420 Yeah.

00:41:23.180 Pennsylvanian bikers.

00:41:24.020 The fact that you guys have more than one story doing that is crazy.

00:41:27.180 Oh, we have dozens.

00:41:27.520 We could go on.

00:41:29.660 It's all bikers and all jazz?

00:41:31.300 No, not always.

00:41:32.320 Not always involving bikers.

00:41:33.900 And the funny thing, we don't even play jazz stuff anymore.

00:41:36.160 Now we're just a rock band.

00:41:37.280 Yeah.

00:41:37.460 But it's just funny.

00:41:37.980 We're like, okay, like, maybe they were right.

00:41:40.200 You know?

00:41:41.260 They scared you out of doing jazz?

00:41:43.360 You're like, they subconsciously inspired us, you know?

00:41:45.660 Thanks, guys.

00:41:47.420 Maybe they had a little bit of influence.

00:41:48.540 Thanks, guys.

00:41:49.440 Those bikers are probably like, and they were mad at me.

00:41:52.140 But I pushed them.

00:41:53.260 I knew they were.

00:41:54.500 And look at them now.

00:41:56.320 If I wasn't so mean to them, they might not be who they are now.

00:41:58.760 God damn.

00:41:59.480 They might be still doing jazz for us.

00:42:01.760 God damn.

00:42:02.080 I think y'all doing jazz is funny.

00:42:05.480 That's silly.

00:42:06.120 It's pretty funny.

00:42:13.960 Did you guys dress up, too?

00:42:15.340 Like, wear, like, suits and ties?

00:42:17.120 No.

00:42:17.440 Suits and ties?

00:42:18.260 It wasn't like that type of jazz.

00:42:19.540 It was jazz funk, I think she said, right?

00:42:22.100 Yeah.

00:42:22.480 Who would you say?

00:42:24.320 Yeah, I was, like, picturing jazz.

00:42:25.840 Doobie Brothers?

00:42:26.980 Doobie Brothers?

00:42:27.820 Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:42:29.200 Yeah.

00:42:29.660 Fuck yeah.

00:42:30.440 I mean, the Doobie Brothers, didn't they dress up?

00:42:32.560 Yeah, not us.

00:42:33.800 We are lazy as shit.

00:42:35.040 Yeah, we're lazy as shit.

00:42:36.220 Now we care.

00:42:36.720 Now we care.

00:42:37.080 That's what makes me laugh, is that you show up like this and you play jazz.

00:42:39.680 I'd be pissed, too.

00:42:40.520 Yeah.

00:42:41.400 If I saw that, you look like this and you play jazz?

00:42:44.740 I'm mad.

00:42:47.140 Well, you look like you play rock.

00:42:48.700 That's what you guys look like.

00:42:49.900 Yeah.

00:42:50.220 If I hired you and you played jazz, I'd be mad.

00:42:52.440 We actually, once, there was a-

00:42:53.960 I'm the biker that hired you.

00:42:56.100 It was true the whole time.

00:42:57.720 Yeah.

00:42:58.640 It was true the whole time.

00:42:59.700 It's funny you say this.

00:43:00.140 We were a part of the Maryland Music Awards once, because we're all from Maryland.

00:43:04.540 Yeah.

00:43:04.860 And we were a part of the Maryland Music Awards once, and we got voted.

00:43:08.460 We were in the category for best reggae band.

00:43:11.640 What?

00:43:11.860 We used to play reggae back in the day, too.

00:43:13.680 Best reggae band.

00:43:14.780 This is before jazz.

00:43:15.540 We came out on stage.

00:43:16.860 We came out on stage.

00:43:17.840 Keep in mind, we're being nominated for best reggae band.

00:43:21.040 We come out and rip a whole jazz set.

00:43:23.820 Rip a whole jazz set.

00:43:25.920 You're just rickrolling people, but it's playing jazz.

00:43:28.760 Literally.

00:43:29.300 Now that we mentioned it, no wonder we couldn't get good games.

00:43:32.800 Now that you're like, no, that kind of thing about it.

00:43:35.080 Like hindsight 2020, it's like, Booker's probably like, we have no idea what they play.

00:43:39.360 Damn, reggae?

00:43:40.120 Like slightly stupid type reggae?

00:43:42.540 Okay.

00:43:43.340 Okay.

00:43:43.820 Exactly.

00:43:44.840 Slightly stupid?

00:43:46.260 Yeah.

00:43:46.500 Slightly stupid type shit.

00:43:47.820 Dude.

00:43:48.420 Literally unfigured.

00:43:49.360 That I would buy more than jazz, if I'm being honest.

00:43:52.140 Facts.

00:43:52.740 If I saw you and you guys said you did more like a slightly stupid iration kind of vibe,

00:43:56.240 I would be like, oh, okay.

00:43:57.500 Yeah.

00:43:57.920 Right.

00:43:58.760 Jazz, that's left field.

00:44:00.160 I never would have guessed that.

00:44:02.600 Yeah.

00:44:03.120 We've done a lot of soul searching.

00:44:04.960 Yeah.

00:44:05.240 Made it a long way here together.

00:44:06.900 We've taken a lot of time to try to, you know.

00:44:08.200 Well, it sounds like you can play any genre now.

00:44:10.160 The evolution is real.

00:44:11.520 I feel like we're pretty comfortable playing a ton of music, which is nice being a musician

00:44:15.880 because it's like, you know, pigeonhole.

00:44:17.200 Like we draw from a lot of inspiration.

00:44:19.060 But yeah, definitely PTSD from many nine years of experience.

00:44:23.460 That's so funny.

00:44:24.260 My boyfriend and I's first date was a slightly stupid concert.

00:44:27.080 Oh, sick.

00:44:27.300 Like, we're just like, why are me and my big brown boyfriend at Slightly Stupid?

00:44:31.180 I don't fucking know.

00:44:32.220 We're still like, they put on a good show.

00:44:34.120 I was the darkest person there.

00:44:35.940 I bet.

00:44:36.700 At that fucking show.

00:44:37.480 For real.

00:44:38.120 I was.

00:44:38.580 You get wild.

00:44:39.280 And I was like, so they call their fans stupid heads.

00:44:42.460 Yep.

00:44:42.740 Yep.

00:44:43.360 Yeah.

00:44:43.620 Period.

00:44:44.220 We're friends with this band Pacifier.

00:44:46.540 Yeah.

00:44:47.000 And they're like a really good band.

00:44:48.700 But they're friends with all like the revolution Slightly Stupid guys.

00:44:51.480 Oh, nice.

00:44:51.620 Every time they come out here, we get to like hang out with those bands.

00:44:54.480 They're all really nice people.

00:44:55.840 Cool.

00:44:56.440 Yeah.

00:44:56.800 Period.

00:44:57.300 What do you guys call your fans?

00:44:59.380 Do you have a name?

00:45:00.880 Like a Beliebers type deal?

00:45:03.100 The Bikers.

00:45:03.900 The Bikers.

00:45:05.060 No.

00:45:05.940 We call our fan base Nef Fam.

00:45:08.860 Oh, cool.

00:45:10.160 Nef Fam.

00:45:10.640 There you go.

00:45:11.120 Yeah.

00:45:11.640 Nice little acronym.

00:45:12.760 I don't think we ever created a name for the people in it, but we'll get there.

00:45:18.560 Kind of like Austin Mahoney.

00:45:20.040 You know, he called his fans Mahomies.

00:45:21.860 Yeah.

00:45:22.440 Mahomies.

00:45:23.180 Silly and stupid.

00:45:24.680 But camp.

00:45:26.160 So.

00:45:26.180 So maybe think about it in that vein.

00:45:28.600 Okay.

00:45:29.240 You just steal stupid heads.

00:45:31.280 Right.

00:45:32.940 Nef heads.

00:45:34.540 With a Z.

00:45:35.560 We'll get back to you on that one.

00:45:36.600 All right.

00:45:36.980 Yeah.

00:45:37.100 Let me know.

00:45:37.780 Let me know.

00:45:38.260 Let me know.

00:45:38.340 We'll talk about one of these videos because we did a lot of kiki-ing, which is a good thing.

00:45:51.980 Those are always the best episodes.

00:45:53.780 So our topic for today is like, can it be funny without being bigoted?

00:45:57.620 Sure.

00:45:58.040 Right.

00:45:58.240 So y'all are obviously extremely funny without punching down at all.

00:46:02.800 And I don't think it's very hard, unlike how some people will make it seem.

00:46:06.840 It's not hard at all.

00:46:07.380 It's actually not that hard at all.

00:46:09.680 It really should be pretty natural.

00:46:10.660 It's actually quite easy.

00:46:11.420 So, okay.

00:46:12.500 So I'm going to read this first video to y'all and then we'll just react to it.

00:46:15.760 So in this video, a man is making it on the street kind of thing where he's asking, like

00:46:21.140 interviewing people on the street.

00:46:22.180 Yeah.

00:46:22.940 And he asks a guy, she's a 10, but she doesn't shave.

00:46:26.360 And the guy responds that she's a one and then continues, she's not a traditional woman.

00:46:31.660 She's a gross feminist monster.

00:46:33.900 The left has created.

00:46:35.120 This is a direct quote.

00:46:36.040 That's crazy.

00:46:37.480 Yeah.

00:46:37.720 She probably supports BLM, Biden, you name it.

00:46:41.820 Whoa.

00:46:42.740 Nice.

00:46:43.340 Wow.

00:46:43.780 That's a lot to unpack.

00:46:45.520 A direct quote.

00:46:45.580 To fit all that into one.

00:46:47.320 So thoughts?

00:46:49.560 I mean, it's wild.

00:46:50.320 Thoughts, fam?

00:46:50.800 That's crazy.

00:46:51.580 Why in the fuck did they even bring in the BLM and Biden shit?

00:46:55.560 It's just a whole lot of-

00:46:56.400 What the fuck does that even mean?

00:46:57.780 Yeah.

00:46:57.920 All the things that care about other people.

00:46:59.720 Sure.

00:47:00.120 Yeah.

00:47:00.660 I mean, it seems super insecure.

00:47:01.980 It almost seems like a child.

00:47:04.720 Yeah.

00:47:04.980 Or like a coping mechanism.

00:47:05.580 You know, like a child in like, you know, like third grade, like kind of like going off

00:47:10.240 of a, or like even kindergarten, like going off about absolutely nothing.

00:47:12.800 Yeah.

00:47:13.340 Well, he's probably got the IQ of one, so that's probably why.

00:47:16.420 It's a double digit for sure.

00:47:17.840 Yeah.

00:47:18.160 I think the comments on this, like this is, look, I don't support the other stuff he said,

00:47:22.140 but the hair part is a personal preference and you don't have to agree with him.

00:47:26.500 It's an opinion.

00:47:27.680 Talking about women who don't shave.

00:47:29.200 Guess what?

00:47:29.940 It's, if it's your body, do whatever the fuck you want.

00:47:33.040 Why the fuck does anybody have any say in that?

00:47:35.300 It's like, it's, it is true.

00:47:36.640 It's a preference and women can prefer to never have sex with you.

00:47:39.320 So that's also a preference.

00:47:40.160 That's true.

00:47:40.720 There you go.

00:47:41.340 Exactly.

00:47:41.660 So if you care, and if you care about that, they won't.

00:47:44.760 Exactly.

00:47:45.720 Yeah.

00:47:46.020 If the goal is to get women, don't know why you hate them.

00:47:48.660 Most of you have girlfriends.

00:47:49.800 Yeah.

00:47:49.980 Most of you.

00:47:50.820 Yes, yes, yes.

00:47:51.480 So, single, single Pringles.

00:47:56.340 The other three are taken, but if y'all are interested, two in the middle are not.

00:48:02.840 They're really good boys, you know.

00:48:04.360 Thank you.

00:48:05.180 But, but that's, that's crazy though.

00:48:06.860 Yeah.

00:48:07.080 I mean, like, I think, you know, like you can have preferences, like everyone has a type

00:48:11.280 of person they probably prefer.

00:48:12.720 Yeah.

00:48:12.940 That sort of thing.

00:48:13.320 It's more so like someone nice.

00:48:15.240 Yeah.

00:48:15.620 Someone nice.

00:48:16.240 Yeah.

00:48:16.440 But, you know, and like whatever, you're allowed to rate anyone, but to bring in everything

00:48:20.780 else.

00:48:21.460 Yeah.

00:48:21.900 How is that?

00:48:23.480 It's very pointed.

00:48:24.820 Like traditional woman.

00:48:26.360 Like when you think about the traditional woman, like what?

00:48:28.240 Like Adam and Eve shit?

00:48:29.300 Like, do you think they had razors back then?

00:48:31.300 What?

00:48:32.040 Yeah.

00:48:32.440 They didn't even have toilet paper.

00:48:33.840 Brother.

00:48:34.500 Fuck.

00:48:34.640 They had doo-doo in their butt.

00:48:35.860 That's exactly.

00:48:37.240 Like that's.

00:48:37.940 Walking around shit, you know.

00:48:39.300 That's crazy.

00:48:40.300 It's also like, it seems like he had all that ready to go.

00:48:44.220 Yeah.

00:48:44.380 Like he's.

00:48:44.980 Most of those street interviews are like planned.

00:48:47.520 Are staged.

00:48:47.740 I know.

00:48:48.060 Yeah.

00:48:48.340 And they all feel staged or like, it's just like, you're asking, obviously the type of

00:48:53.180 person is going to give you.

00:48:54.100 Yeah.

00:48:54.120 Like you know.

00:48:54.920 Exactly.

00:48:55.320 This type of person is going to give me that response.

00:48:56.380 The interviewer probably is stoked he got that response.

00:48:58.680 He's like, oh, controversy.

00:48:59.680 Yeah.

00:48:59.980 You know.

00:49:00.560 Yeah.

00:49:00.860 Or it's his fucking buddy.

00:49:02.420 Yeah.

00:49:02.700 You know what I mean?

00:49:03.180 And they're like, hello, random stranger on the street.

00:49:06.240 That I've never met before and I didn't go to preschool with.

00:49:08.520 Those always be the dudes too that like, don't be flossing.

00:49:11.060 Like shower two times a week.

00:49:13.800 Yeah.

00:49:14.080 Like no Listerine up in their.

00:49:15.740 That's what I'm saying.

00:49:16.780 Take it.

00:49:17.280 Take it from me.

00:49:17.820 I've been to their house.

00:49:18.760 It's very clean.

00:49:19.940 Very clean.

00:49:20.520 And it smells nice.

00:49:21.660 Thank you.

00:49:22.340 It smells like candles.

00:49:23.160 It's not like we cleaned for three hours before you got there.

00:49:25.720 It's totally not what happened.

00:49:27.760 It's not what happened.

00:49:28.860 I know.

00:49:29.520 I saw you guys.

00:49:29.940 You're like, these candles smell nice.

00:49:31.180 They're in their house.

00:49:33.220 Like, I think that it's, yeah, it's just men complaining about things they don't have.

00:49:38.880 No.

00:49:39.100 And it's very, it is.

00:49:40.300 Complaining about women they're not with.

00:49:41.780 Honing on the insecurity thing.

00:49:43.300 It's like, why would you have to bring in all those other things?

00:49:45.860 It's almost like a, like a projection thing.

00:49:47.880 Like.

00:49:48.160 Immediately.

00:49:48.900 Immediately.

00:49:49.220 Immediately.

00:49:49.300 It's like, why are you, why do you even need to bring in like things like that?

00:49:52.440 Like when it comes to like your body and like hair and shit, it's like, hair bothers.

00:49:57.720 You got it on your fucking head.

00:49:58.900 Like you got it.

00:49:59.880 Maybe they don't.

00:50:00.400 And that's why.

00:50:01.100 Okay.

00:50:01.480 Sure.

00:50:01.940 All these guys have great hairlines.

00:50:03.240 And I, I'm just saying, I'm just saying I'm always right.

00:50:06.800 I guess that's my point.

00:50:07.180 I don't know about how much longer, but, uh, I'm telling you, I make, and they like me.

00:50:11.980 The hat's covering up a little bit of the receding.

00:50:13.420 These are all straight white men and they like me.

00:50:15.700 So I'm telling you right now, I'm telling you.

00:50:19.600 But yeah, I just, I just don't, I don't understand the whole, the whole reasoning behind

00:50:23.300 bringing certain things like that up.

00:50:24.700 Like, cause even in like other aspects, like, you know, other, you know, areas of life,

00:50:29.400 like that type of response is brought up a lot.

00:50:31.760 And it's like, and for what?

00:50:33.840 For fucking what?

00:50:34.980 Yeah.

00:50:35.580 For what?

00:50:36.020 Like there was absolutely no, you got nowhere with it.

00:50:38.700 It was kind of like.

00:50:39.840 Got nothing from it.

00:50:41.200 It was a question and just dive bombed it.

00:50:43.760 Immediately.

00:50:47.060 This next comment says, imagine though your girl has a beard.

00:50:50.960 I'm assuming like the shaving thing is like a big deal with them.

00:50:54.140 Huh.

00:50:55.360 Um, okay.

00:50:56.980 Well, I don't think that exists, but if it does, she's with someone who loves her and

00:51:02.160 you're not.

00:51:03.020 So, you know, I can't really comprehend like watching.

00:51:07.400 There's so many of those like clickbaity type videos.

00:51:09.560 Yeah.

00:51:09.840 You know, creators like, for example, we don't like talk about it.

00:51:13.160 That was his buddy, whatever.

00:51:13.980 But like these creators do that because it's like, they know what's going to get views.

00:51:18.000 Exactly.

00:51:18.360 So it's like, if you take this guy into example who went and created that video waiting for

00:51:22.680 that response, like he could have done like five, 10, like 15 takes just to get that.

00:51:27.360 For real.

00:51:28.120 Yeah.

00:51:28.280 But it's even like for like what we're talking about is I see that stuff on the internet

00:51:31.680 and like, obviously you're going to like open the comment section and see how.

00:51:35.300 Yeah.

00:51:35.840 And you can like guess what the reaction is going to be.

00:51:37.840 I don't fucking get it at all because it's like.

00:51:39.720 I know.

00:51:40.220 It's almost like the videos are meant for the comment section.

00:51:42.240 It's truly.

00:51:43.240 It's a very specific kind of rage farming.

00:51:46.300 It's like, it's one big circle jerk.

00:51:48.700 I've never heard that word before.

00:51:49.960 I'm also alone.

00:51:50.740 Is anyone else alone?

00:51:51.820 Okay.

00:51:52.160 Let's all be alone together.

00:51:53.500 Hate women together.

00:51:54.700 I don't know.

00:51:55.220 Like so much hate on it too.

00:51:56.480 And it's just like.

00:51:57.500 Yeah.

00:51:58.180 Do you guys get a lot of hate?

00:51:59.180 I doubt it.

00:51:59.880 Huh?

00:52:00.200 Not really.

00:52:00.900 Not really.

00:52:01.300 That's a good thing.

00:52:01.760 We thought we, when we first did it, we were like, oh, like we should be prepared to

00:52:05.540 get hate because like we, we never made a TikTok or we'd never been that place.

00:52:10.680 Yeah.

00:52:10.880 Yeah.

00:52:11.000 But no, not really.

00:52:11.620 I mean, some people will, you know, go out of their way, go out of their way.

00:52:15.620 I'm sure.

00:52:16.800 I think it's kind of hard to hate when like, we're just genuinely being ourselves.

00:52:20.160 I know.

00:52:20.860 Yeah.

00:52:21.040 And it's like, if they do, it's so senseless.

00:52:23.380 If they do, it's just like, it's like, cool.

00:52:25.060 I don't give a fuck.

00:52:26.000 Like, you know, like.

00:52:26.640 We really don't give a shit.

00:52:28.520 We do not give a single shit.

00:52:30.500 You should see it.

00:52:31.120 Like half the stuff like we've done, like just like as like friends, it's just like, because

00:52:35.420 like I said, we're the same people off camera.

00:52:37.140 Yeah, absolutely.

00:52:38.200 But like, it's just like, we're just having fun, living life.

00:52:40.680 Why would someone ever like be against that?

00:52:44.020 Like, I would never, if you ever endeavored anything in your life that I'm against, I

00:52:48.560 would never openly say, don't do that.

00:52:50.920 Like what?

00:52:51.520 Who the fuck am I?

00:52:52.420 Like what?

00:52:53.260 Why the fuck is mine?

00:52:53.640 I just like don't care.

00:52:55.100 I don't care.

00:52:55.660 I don't care enough.

00:52:56.640 Cool.

00:52:56.820 You're doing that.

00:52:57.380 Even if it's something I don't agree with, like that's, you know, like.

00:52:59.720 Okay.

00:53:00.280 Okay.

00:53:00.680 Like commenting hate feels like unemployed behavior to me.

00:53:04.480 It's like.

00:53:05.280 Because I'm like, like for what?

00:53:07.600 Like, what did I get out of that?

00:53:09.000 Like I went and wrote something mean on your shit.

00:53:10.700 Like, what did I get?

00:53:11.620 I couldn't like.

00:53:12.100 Money, a girlfriend.

00:53:13.120 Imagine laying down at night, you're just scrolling through TikTokers and you see something

00:53:16.140 and you're like, all right, today's the day.

00:53:17.860 I'm going to write something mean.

00:53:18.960 I'm going to write something fucking mean.

00:53:19.940 I'm going to write something really mean shit.

00:53:20.720 I'm making fake accounts and just commenting.

00:53:22.380 I'll never really fall.

00:53:24.360 Just burners.

00:53:25.260 Yeah.

00:53:25.860 You know, it's funny because I feel like the meanest, because sometimes I always get people

00:53:29.980 asking me like, what's the meanest thing a man has ever said to you?

00:53:32.020 And I'm like, no man has ever hurt my feelings literally ever on the internet.

00:53:34.400 But one guy made one comment about me that sticks with me to this day and I talk about

00:53:38.280 all the time, but he's told me I looked like this girl put the screenshot of me, which is

00:53:41.740 like she was trying to be nice.

00:53:43.060 Okay.

00:53:43.740 She could have picked any other picture of me.

00:53:45.380 Chose a horrible one.

00:53:46.200 That's okay.

00:53:46.620 Still love you.

00:53:47.480 But she some guy just said I looked like the pot of greed card from Yu-Gi-Oh, which like

00:53:52.080 I had no idea what the fuck that was.

00:53:53.540 Right.

00:53:53.800 I'd have to look it up.

00:53:54.420 But he just wrote pot of greed.

00:53:55.740 That's all he wrote.

00:53:56.780 Pot of greed.

00:53:57.320 That's it.

00:53:57.740 That's all he wrote.

00:53:58.400 Yeah.

00:53:58.580 That's all he wrote.

00:53:59.300 That sweet.

00:54:00.220 100,000 likes.

00:54:00.980 I said, hey, hey, hey, hey, that's mean.

00:54:03.540 When I looked it up, I said, damn, you kind of got me.

00:54:06.040 You got me, bitch.

00:54:06.980 That does look like me.

00:54:08.020 Sure.

00:54:08.600 Hilarious.

00:54:09.280 But he didn't even really hate me.

00:54:10.640 Like he was just like a passerby and was like, you're really ugly, by the way.

00:54:14.940 Anyways.

00:54:15.540 Here's a just pot of, you know, which like game recognized game.

00:54:18.280 I respect it.

00:54:19.220 You know, I was like, that's a good one.

00:54:20.720 That's the only one that I've ever gotten.

00:54:22.960 But like, I feel like men commenting hate is just so, or people commenting hate in general.

00:54:27.640 I just don't care.

00:54:29.380 It's like better things you could do.

00:54:32.040 Like actually, like everything.

00:54:34.900 Like literally sitting and breathing is better use of your time, I feel like.

00:54:39.060 Go meditate.

00:54:39.900 Fuck.

00:54:40.320 Like, goddamn, why are you being mean to people?

00:54:42.840 Fuck, dude.

00:54:43.240 Just go meditate.

00:54:43.840 Well, you spent so much time doing that.

00:54:44.940 No wonder you don't have a girlfriend.

00:54:46.180 Shit.

00:54:46.980 No fucking wonder you're busy.

00:54:48.420 Busy online all the time.

00:54:49.960 Busy being mean to strangers with no idea who they are, you know?

00:54:53.360 You're not the statement of Johnny just giving advice.

00:54:55.020 Just go meditate.

00:54:55.960 Fuck you, dude.

00:55:02.060 Fuck you.

00:55:04.460 Someone take a t-shirt about you.

00:55:05.840 Someone sell that shit.

00:55:06.940 Honestly, I've made, I've made, I've made comments before where I've said like, the meanest

00:55:10.580 things I've ever heard were actually things meant to be nice.

00:55:13.860 Like, they're like compliments.

00:55:14.960 Have you guys ever gotten anything like that?

00:55:16.180 Like backhanded compliments.

00:55:16.880 Yeah, like from fans.

00:55:17.940 Like, they love you so much.

00:55:19.560 Pierce gets a lot.

00:55:21.160 Pierce gets a lot.

00:55:21.940 He gets them all the time.

00:55:22.860 Yeah, he gets them all the time.

00:55:24.400 Ever since like, with like the TikTok series.

00:55:26.560 Yeah.

00:55:27.100 But even like, aside from like, Kenneth Kirk and like, all the other like, series slash

00:55:30.620 videos we do on like.

00:55:31.660 Yeah.

00:55:32.320 TikTok.

00:55:33.020 Yeah.

00:55:33.820 If there's like one person who's getting the fucking comments that we're talking about,

00:55:37.220 it's me.

00:55:38.180 So like, basically, like when I grew up, like I had like long hair, like since I was

00:55:42.600 like a kid, kid, whatever.

00:55:43.840 And then like, I don't know if it's because like the way the camera makes me look, whatever.

00:55:47.120 Like the biggest thing, it's always like, is this like cis girl with a stash or like

00:55:51.560 everyone always thinks like I'm a girl disguising myself as a man to be.

00:55:53.940 And that's just because of your hair?

00:55:55.160 Because he's beautiful, honestly.

00:55:56.380 There you go.

00:55:57.000 But the hair, it's like, yeah.

00:55:58.260 I don't know if it's like.

00:55:59.500 But also, my boyfriend has long hair.

00:56:01.200 Yeah.

00:56:01.480 You have long hair.

00:56:02.220 Yeah.

00:56:02.480 Yeah.

00:56:03.020 That's like the closest thing to like.

00:56:05.020 They're like saying it in a way that's loving though?

00:56:07.400 Or are they saying it in a way that's just.

00:56:08.500 It's kind of like the same thing.

00:56:09.340 It's like an observation.

00:56:10.240 It's like, it's like kind of nice, but it's like, it's, but it's not.

00:56:14.400 But then they'll like say like some crazy shit after it.

00:56:17.000 Like that's just like.

00:56:18.320 And yeah.

00:56:19.020 It would be like, oh my gosh, like you have such beautiful hair.

00:56:21.420 You would look so good as a girl.

00:56:22.460 Like, or like, or like some shit like where it's like, okay, what?

00:56:26.820 Like, or like, yeah, it's like some stuff like that.

00:56:29.280 And the reaction is you don't really know what to do.

00:56:32.420 And you're like, what do I do with my, I don't know what to do with my hands.

00:56:34.900 You know?

00:56:35.080 Yeah.

00:56:35.240 You're like, thank you.

00:56:40.280 You look like a girl.

00:56:40.920 And it's like, it's not, it's like.

00:56:42.820 Not offensive, but it is not a compliment.

00:56:45.160 It's like, it's like, oh, thanks for saying my hair is nice.

00:56:47.500 But it's like, but then like, you also just like, oh, okay.

00:57:40.560 and carpets and stuff.

00:57:42.040 And, um, you know, cause I personally, um, I've been really, really insecure my entire

00:57:47.680 life about my big manly shoulders and like seeing you wear strapless things and like seeing

00:57:54.040 you with your shoulders out, like makes me feel a little bit better about my big manly

00:57:58.120 shoulders.

00:57:58.960 I said, damn bitch.

00:58:01.640 I don't know how to say that.
