Ben

Hello, we're Honeyhoney. Um we're at the Young Hollywood Studio. And this tune's called "Don't Know How." Oh no, I don't know if I'll go with you now. I got buckets of words, yeah to hush out the sound of my heart falling down into bits on the ground. Don't know how to love you when I'm not around.

Young Hollywood

Kinsey here at the Young Hollywood Studios with Honeyhoney's Ben and Suzanne. Hey, guys.

Suzanne

It's never been said that way.

Ben

Hi.

Suzanne

Honeyhoney.

Young Hollywood

You just really went for it. That's good. I wanted to ask you guys because you are officially festival veterans. How does one survive South by Southwest, Coachella, what is a Coachella or just a festival general survival guide?

Ben

It's really important to hydrate.

Suzanne

Yeah.

Ben

Because there's a lot of um there's a lot of sunshine, there's celebrity sightings so it makes you sweat. Therefore, you you lose hydration.

Young Hollywood

Good point.

Ben

And uh yeah, drink some water, stretch before you rock.

Suzanne

Go go on without me now. Lose me in the crowd. Oh, I am so so slow.

Young Hollywood

Who did you see at Coachella? Because there were a lot of super famous people watching you guys on stage, which must have been awesome.

Suzanne

There were. Well, there was a reality star in our trailer who was friends with our manager's friends. Um it was Lauren Conrad.

Young Hollywood

Oh, that's awesome. LC.

Suzanne

Then the hot werewolf guy from True Blood.

Young Hollywood

Delicious. So, "Angel of Death" recently premiered. Yes, ma'am. That video is intense.

Suzanne

It is so good.

Ben

So good.

Suzanne

I'm the angel of death and the end is near.

Young Hollywood

I recognize a lot of faces. We've got a woman named Paget Brewster, um a fellow named Jason Ritter, Martin Starr, Jim Turner, um Janet Varney.

Suzanne

It's it was really exciting to kill all those people.

Young Hollywood

How did you get such cool names involved?

Ben

There's a a community and a performance uh that's been going on for years and years and years, this thing called the Super Massive Suspense Hour and they have this club called Largo and all these people we've gotten to meet throughout that. Um and become friends with and, you know, Suzanne's friends with Janet and Jason, I've played drums in Martin's band and all this stuff. So it's just really just

Suzanne

He's incredible. Come knocking. It's the voice you never want to hear.

Ben

It was kind of like a Mr. and Mrs. Smith thing though. When towards the

Suzanne

But we actually did we did not end up happily ever after cuz we had to kill them.

Ben

It's best to keep a knocking, lock the door when I come knocking. I'm the voice you never wanna hear.

Suzanne

Yeah, I'm the voice you never wanna hear.

Young Hollywood

Can we play a Kiss Kill Marry real quick? Kiss, Kill, Marry. Okay.

Suzanne

We call it something else.

Young Hollywood

Robert Plant, Dr. Dre, Will Ferrell.

Suzanne

Oh. I'd marry Will Ferrell cuz he'd make me laugh for the rest of my life.

Young Hollywood

For the rest of your life?

Ben

We can't pick the same ones, can we? Okay, so I'd marry Will Ferrell too. I feel like Dr. Dre would be difficult to kill cuz he talks he says he has a lot of guns. That seems risky. But I you know, and Robert Plant's had a really good ride. But it's hard to think about kissing either of them cuz God knows where they've been.

Suzanne

I'm sure Will Ferrell is pretty clean.

Ben

I would I would kiss Dr. Dre right on the face. I'd kill the other guy.

Suzanne

With tongue?

Ben

It depends where's his hand?

Suzanne

Those dirty things you said to me still hang above my bed. They climbed down from the ceiling. Rest upon my head.

Young Hollywood

Speaking of tongue and relationships. Oh, god. I've heard I heard a rumor. I heard that there's a man in your life named Bruce.

Suzanne

Oh my god. Well, I don't kiss Bruce with tongue because he's a cat and I know that cats have a lot of bacteria in their mouth.

Young Hollywood

Do you do lots of documentation of Bruce's antics? Are you like a cat mom and take lots of photos?

Suzanne

Well, yeah, yes and no. Um, I I mean I think he's very special. He doesn't do an interview. There's But we did actually Ben and I together did a um interview with Bruce. And it's edited and it's somewhere on the interweb.

Young Hollywood

Bruce, uh, the the people wanna know, is there any particular reason that you choose not to Twitter? You are notorious for giving love advice on your on the newsletter. Uh, oh, love guru. Love guru. What kind of advice do you have for I have some questions and I have some questions, some relationship advice questions and I wanna get your perspective. Dear Ben,

Ben

Yes.

Young Hollywood

My boyfriend prefers HGTV over me. Help.

Ben

Like the Home and Garden Network.

Young Hollywood

H. G. HGTV.

Ben

You should probably become more interesting as a person. Um, make it easier to talk to you and start doing something with yourself that's um fun for others to enjoy.

Young Hollywood

Pick up a hobby type thing is that what you're saying?

Ben

Yeah. Or something.

Young Hollywood

Dear Ben,

Ben

Yes.

Young Hollywood

My girlfriend has pictures of another guy on her computer. What should I do?

Ben

Who's the guy? It depends. It's not Zac Efron. It could be a brother, a father. I think you should clear up first who it is. Look at this guy. Um, uh, and Yeah, the key is to decide if they're better looking than you. Okay. And if they are, um you uh just break up with them immediately.

Young Hollywood

Oh.

Ben

Yeah, because competition is not something that any of us can deal with emotionally. It's true. It's unfortunate.

Young Hollywood

Dear Ben, why does he only call me cute?

Ben

Hmm. Are you a child or an animal? You could be a puppy.

Young Hollywood

I'm crying a little bit. Dear Ben, this guy says he's too busy for me. What does that really mean?

Ben

Oh, um, he's gay.

Young Hollywood
