I'm going to film you film me. I don't I don't know uh very meta.

We're going to go to the Young Hollywood Couch right now. I don't know what's happening right now. Are you guys ready? And somewhere they're dancing the night away. And the sweat pours down their faces, clenching so sadly. So you drink to forget or you drink to remember. I don't need any leading in. I'm being serenaded here. I'm here with Air Traffic. The Air Traffic Toxic event. Great to have them here. I don't know what's happening right now. Are we going to start singing? Can you tell stories like to the sound of the music? Tell a story about. Hey everybody, how are you doing? How you got into friends?

I had this really stupid girlfriend one time. We're sitting around her house in Nashville, Tennessee and Joey and Rachel were in a fight in this particular episode as I recall. Wrote a little song about it. It goes like this. I hate friends. Yeah. That dumb old show. I hated it so much. But I got to watch it because I had a girlfriend that watched it. Is that that what you mean?

Oh my gosh. That was great. Listen. We are professionals. I we're flying that on iTunes. We have to play music. I am not kidding. You don't care about our opinions. You know you don't care about our opinion. But did you really get into friends? Be honest.

No I no, I hated it. I'm just saying, my point is that if you're a guy, you have to watch friends and Sex and the City and all that What's the other one? Oh, you could swear. You could swear.

All right. Woohoo. Okay, so let's talk about Such Hot Blood. Number one on iTunes for alternative in the alternative category. Congratulations. You're an indie band. How does it feel to be like that mainstream, have a number one?

I don't know if it's quite mainstream yet.

Well, iTunes is mainstream.

That's true. It's weird. It's it's a strange feeling to have uh a lot of people like you start in your little room writing a song and then we get together in another slightly larger room. Not much larger, thankfully. And we work it out and then we go to a slightly larger room which is which is with Kirky and we make the record and then suddenly it's just out and so you feel like it's it's weird. It's cool though. It's good. You are you are the only thing that makes me feel like I can live forever, forever with you. Your single is out now. Timeless. I wanted to ask you guys go down the line and ask you what song on your iPod would you think is the most timeless?

I would say Midnight Train to Georgia.

Do you know each other's music? If you could do that. If you could do that. Okay.

Common People by Pulp.

Uh Cure close to me. Love the Cure.

And I was a big fan of. So you're not far off with that one. Taylor is dreaming. He's pretty good. So Such Hot Blood, the name of the album. Who is the most hot-blooded? All of you. What? There could be a discussion. Yeah. Well, you're slightly more Italian than. Yeah. Yeah. I I guess. Yeah. So going down the line, who would you guys most nerd out over meeting?

Jarvis Cocker, but also maybe Steve Malkmus. Somewhere in between.

Bruce. Bruce or Leonard Cohen, one of those two.

All right, so I have a little sort of band questionnaire for you guys. Yeah. It's sort of like who's most likely to, that kind of thing. Ready? Who calls home the most? Which of the band members calls home the most?

God. I don't know. Calls home the most. Steven.

Well, it's most noticeable because that's when he speaks in Thai. In Mandarin.

Okay, who has the most interesting pre-show ritual? Anna? Yeah. Really? I don't know. I I I consider pre-show like oh so interesting. She's putting on her makeup and doing her hair.

First I sacrifice a small animal. And then I apply the blood of said small animal to all of my bandmates. And then I do my hair and makeup. And we have a great show.

Right. Now we're going to be like processed by PETA. I just I love small animals. Don't kill them. Okay, which which one of you is most likely to miss a flight or be late?

Okay, before I let you go, going down the line, you guys are an indie band, but if you guys had to do each of you had to do a duet with a top 40 artist, who would you choose?

Uh, I guess I'll stick with Adele, obviously.

Uh, does Zooey Deschanel count cuz she like has that she and him thing? I think they had no, you're like that doesn't count. No, sure. I think we had we all had to ask like, well, does this count? Cuz we don't even know what top I don't know if I've listened to it. Does Johnny Cash count?

I have to admit that the only top 40 artist I can think of was Justin Bieber. So This is the only one you could think of. Yeah, sorry. Well, thanks for coming in. Great seeing you guys.
