Matt

Once I was walking out of our tour bus and there was a sign on the door that just said, it said, you may want to avoid me for the next couple of days. I'm PMSing and whatever and it I don't know. She just had a sign so everyone on the crew would just know not to screw with her.

Young Hollywood

Hey guys, Jessica here with Matt and Kim at the Sunset Music Festival. Now, you guys are playing. How excited are you to play here?

Matt

Totally excited. We just walked we just walked down the uh the Sunset strip and seeing it closed is crazy, first of all, and our stage like right in the middle of the street. You know, it's just one of those things you never see. It's like that that scene in um that Will Smith movie where they cleared out all of Time Square.

Young Hollywood

I actually want to talk about Time Square cuz I love that you did that. You guys did a video there. And you got totally nude. How did you come up with that concept? Because I was like, that is awesome. Cuz I thought it was

Kim

Don't tell him that.

Matt

That's right. Say say it's awesome. That was all my idea. And Kim didn't want to do it for so long. She really didn't want to do it and it just took me a lot of convincing. And I just had this feeling that foot rubs can get you anywhere in this world. You know, enough foot rub.

Kim

I I'm easy. I am easy. We shot a music video for uh on Cameras where we are in a fist fight the whole time and uh and clearly Kim came out the winner on that one. I I have no there's no competition.

Young Hollywood

Well, dude, I actually caught you guys on Jimmy. I was watching Jimmy Fallon and he was like, oh, you know, check out Matt and Kim, blah blah blah. And then you got up on the drums and I'm like, dude, this girl kicks ass. Like, she's amazing and I don't think I would fuck with her. Like, I don't, you know, I'm like. Um, what do you guys have coming up like for the rest of the year?

Matt

What we we're about to go on uh we're doing a support tour for Blink 182, My Chemical Romance. So we're on that 'til like what, mid-October, I think. Yeah. That's just gonna be crazy.

Young Hollywood

Now, are you guys gonna do like any crazy pranks on tour? Cuz like I love hearing like prank stories and like crazy fan stories. Like do you guys have any of those to share?

Matt

Once I was walking out of our tour bus and there was a sign on the door that just said it said, you may want to avoid me for the next couple of days. I'm PMSing and whatever and it I don't know. She just had a sign so everyone on the crew would just know not to screw with her.

Kim

I I'm very nice unless I'm PMSing and then it's a different story.

Matt

I feel like Kim and Kim and and Tom from Blink 182's first interactions before this tour even came up, the email got pretty um got pretty strange and uh I feel like you two could be pranking each other by the end.

Kim

Or else we're gonna combine forces and prank everybody else.

Young Hollywood

Now, let's talk about your song I'm a Gonner. It just came out yesterday. Tell me a little bit about that.

Matt

So, so basically it's it's a converse three artists collaboration and we've been working on it for a while. And it was basically, you know, they gave us full freedom of who we wanted to work with and Soulja Boy and Andrew WK.

Kim

Matt Matt kinda Matt came up with it and I feel so high like I'm on the plane. Like I'm on Cloud 9 and I'm making it rain. Black shoes, black shirt, black hat, black diamonds, black everything. I brought black back.

Matt

There was like a bunch of ideas that went around. So we have been working on this song most of the year and then they brought the idea of doing this three artists one song and we're a huge hip-hop fans and uh and so we had we asked Soulja Boy to do it and he signed on, which was awesome. And then we spent forever trying to think of the third artist. And I I remember, I was just sitting at my computer and I was writing an email about like who I thought and I wrote Matt and Kim, Soulja Boy and then it came to me. Everything like the sky parted and I was like Andrew WK. And I just showed I couldn't even tell Kim, I had to show her the computer and she was totally into it and I just feel like even though musically the three of us sound pretty different, we're all about partying.

Matt

Hey, I'm Matt.

Kim

And I'm Kim.

Matt

And we're Matt and Kim.

Kim
