Young Hollywood

What's going on, guys? Hanging out with me today, I have Robert Buckley and Rahul Kohli from I Zombie. How are you guys doing today?

Robert Buckley

We're good, thanks.

Rahul Kohli

We're doing well. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

You guys were just so like energetic a second ago. What happened? Did you get nervous with the cameras?

Rahul Kohli

I heard the I heard the the sticks get snapped. I heard action. Yeah, and then we yeah basically it's an acting thing. I don't know what to do with my hands right now.

Young Hollywood

Oh. I know, you look a little stiff and awkward.

Rahul Kohli

I'm staying like this.

Robert Buckley

You look more chill.

Rahul Kohli

No, I'm not. This is I'm locked in position right now. Can you can you tell by my body language how uncomfortable I am right now?

Young Hollywood

Very much so.

Robert Buckley

What are you doing?

Rahul Kohli

I'm doing this with the hand now with the inside. Hold on. Separate left. Yeah. Do that. And then we're great. Thanks for having us on.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, you look awesome.

Rahul Kohli

I'm I'm going to switch positions again. I'm feeling good now.

Young Hollywood

Yeah? There you go. That's how you sat last time.

Rahul Kohli

Is it believable?

Young Hollywood

Yeah, it works.

Rahul Kohli

I'm uncomfortable. Okay. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

So, again, welcome. You guys star on I Zombie and I want to know what it is about zombies that people are just obsessed with.

Rahul Kohli

I think cuz that's what it always we get asked is is would you be able to survive a zombie apocalypse? And I think that's where the debate is is what we would do if if everything was taken away from us. If we had no electricity and we had our animal instincts to to survive on. I think that's what people are interested by.

Robert Buckley

Monsters are fun.

Young Hollywood

That's a good answer also, for sure. So, for people watching who don't know the show, if you're a zombie and you eat

Robert Buckley

Are there still people who haven't watched the show?

Young Hollywood

Listen, I'm trying to humble you a little bit. Okay. You know, it's a big, it's a big show, but there are some people out there that haven't seen it yet, okay? So, for people watching.

Robert Buckley

Mom and Dad.

Rahul Kohli

Rude.

Young Hollywood

So, for people watching, if you are a zombie on the show, if you eat a human brain, you pick up their personality traits and memories, correct? So, I want to know if you guys could eat any brain, whether the person is alive or dead at this moment. Who would you choose?

Robert Buckley

My girlfriend.

Young Hollywood

Really? That's probably a smart answer. You want her dead or

Robert Buckley

No, no, no, no. More so so I can experience what it's like to date me for a date and see how that is.

Rahul Kohli

This is going to sound unoriginal, but honestly, I'd like to eat his girlfriend's brain, too, to see what it's like to date him and be on the other side of this sexual powerhouse.

Young Hollywood

I like that. You guys are pretty close, huh?

Robert Buckley

Very close.

Young Hollywood

I know. I can. Did you not Did you not see this earlier? I know. I saw that. Who does this but twins? But twins. I love it. Okay, good answer. I like that. So if I were to eat your brains, what would they taste like?

Robert Buckley

Yours is kale, right?

Rahul Kohli

I'm just going to say yours would just taste like monster energy drinks and nicotine. Oh, wow.

Robert Buckley

Yours would taste like a Fiona Apple video.

Rahul Kohli

Yeah, and yours is definitely kale, quinoa.

Young Hollywood

Really? Do you really eat all that stuff?

Rahul Kohli

I mean, I get down on corn dogs and tots and stuff, but yeah.

Young Hollywood

So what would yours taste like?

Rahul Kohli

Maybe some tea. Like English tea. Tea with milk.

Young Hollywood

Actually, how do you make a good cup of tea?

Rahul Kohli

Oh, great question. Because Americans, I feel like don't really know this. At least I don't. So, everyone says you put the milk in first, don't do that. Some people say that's weird. So, put the hot water, tea bag, PG tips preferably, right? PG Tips is the tea bag brand.

Young Hollywood

Oh, okay. Got it.

Rahul Kohli

And let that sit for a couple of minutes, then you add milk. And you want to get around about my skin tone. That's how I get.

Young Hollywood

Honestly, we don't even see color, so I wouldn't know.

Rahul Kohli

Just this is good milk and tea ratio. Okay. And then add sugar to taste. There you go. And you got yourself a cup of tea. That's it's that's a good. If you've gone this, that's the one. Too much milk. Too much milk if it looks like too much milk. Put it back in the deck, man.

Young Hollywood

Speaking of eating your guys's brains. If I actually did do that, what kind of hidden talents would I suddenly have?

Robert Buckley

I'm a fierce dancer.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Are you?

Robert Buckley

Yeah. He loves to dance. I recently discovered. I'm legitimately tone deaf.

Young Hollywood

Are you?

Robert Buckley

I used to say it cuz I thought it was funny, and then in the car recently my fiance was like, "Let's actually no, seriously, just try to keep pitch with this." And it was awful cuz it was the first time I wasn't trying to be funny, and I was actually, you know. Oh, no. Like No, you sing. "This is my fight song." Oh no. And I I couldn't do it.

Young Hollywood

Okay, wait, hidden talent though. You never got to yours.

Rahul Kohli

Moaning.

Young Hollywood

Moaning?

Rahul Kohli

Yeah, I'm really good at just complaining and moaning. Oh.

Young Hollywood

Okay. I was like, "What?"

Rahul Kohli

Like complaining and moaning. Again, do you feel the room?

Robert Buckley

Okay. Robert and I went the same direction for a second. We're like, "What?" I was innocent.

Rahul Kohli

Moan is like one of those words like moist. Just be careful when you use it. It might be an American British loss in transit. Cuz I just moaning straight away, right? You're British. You'd go straight for, "Oh, he's he means complaining." Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Okay. Okay, well, for everyone else in the room that's not British, that was weird, right?

Rahul Kohli

Yeah. Yeah. I'm good at complaining, right? Yeah. Yeah. I'm the grouch like of the group.

Young Hollywood

You guys are amazing. And I honestly wish I could talk to you more, but you kind of talked the whole time and I can't get through I can't get through all my questions.

Rahul Kohli

Let's see this. Raoul, go here, go here. I'm gonna talk to you guys about this one really fast. Okay. Raoul, where do you get the nerve? What kind of question is that? That's so rude. I'm getting the wrap signal, guys. Raoul, if you had a sexual signature move, what

Young Hollywood

These are inappropriate questions. I'm sorry. I'm glad we had a truth and honesty pact in the beginning. You never answered the question. All right, well we're going to end the interview on that note. Thank you guys so much for coming by. Check these guys out on I Zombie on the CW. It's awesome.

Rahul Kohli
