KP: What has been the most ridiculouly memorable thing each one of you has done while on tour together?
Michael: Ohhh my god…
James: We don’t have time for all of them.
Thomas: Let’s talk about the time that we were in Boston and I saw Jeremy mummify himself with toilet paper.
Jeremy: That’s not the craziest thing…
James: Wait, I didn’t see that shit!
Jeremy: Michael, crossed dressed in New York
Michael: So we stayed with a fried of ours in NYC. I was fairly inebriated, and these guys convinced me to dress up as a little dutch girl.
Jeremy: You looked really good.
Thomas: I can provide pictures.
Michael: The best part was walking the streets, and James is standing across a cross walk and watching these dudes check me out from a couple blocks away. Like, What is this chick?! Alright!! Lets go that way! Then watching them come closer and closer and realize… OH my GOD. THIS A DUDE.
James: Bee-lined the other way.
Jeremy: Definitely ruined peoples lives.
Michael: I definitely changed some lives that night. Including my own.
Thomas: That whole night was fucked from the beginning.
Jeremy: We can’t tell any James stories, they’re not appropriate!
KP: Inappropriateness is fully allowed.
Thomas: Every James story involves nudity.
Michael: My favorite James story so far… We were in a hotel room and [Jeremy’s] directing him… Its almost as if we’re doing a porn….
Jeremy: There’s gonna be a LOT of nudity in this.
KP: We’ll thats how thomas was initiated.
Thomas: It seems I get initiated quite often.
James: People are going to think we love to be naked together.
Michael: We DO love to be naked together.
James: The band thats naked together, stays together.
Jeremy: James turns into a Frat dude when hes drunk, first of all. So he comes in and he’s all party boy.
KP: You pop your collar when you’re drunk?!
Jeremy: James wears Ed Hardy shirts when he’s drunk [laughing] ONLY when he’s drunk.
James: I have them packed away… waiting.
Jeremy: So Thomas convinces him to jump in me and our merch guy’s bed… While he’s completely naked. I don’t know HOW you got naked.
James: Because thomas said, “Take off your clothes.”
Jeremy: So, he was rubbin’ his stuff around my bed…
Thomas: WAIT, paint the full picture. What did you say it smelled like?
Jeremy: Bologna. James naked smells like bologna.
James: Great its gonna be published that I smell like fucking bologna.
KP: Hey, you never know who’s gonna be into bologna .
James: People with no teeth are going to approach me and be like…
Michael:… “Listen, I love bologna…”
Jeremy: [Laughing] So James starts rubbing his bologna all over my bed… and so I tackled him.
KP: This sounds like something out of Borat!
Jeremy: Very Borat. So there’s pictures of James on my phone with his arms up like this [motions]. It looks like child porn.
James: Ah come on, isn’t there a really cool story we can tell…
Michael: What about Thomas?
Thomas: I climbed down a building at a party once.
Michael: It was pretty intense dude. We were hanging out w/ the bus driver of Eagles of Death Metal… swiggin some jack. I remember I was standing outside on the balcony with you and I’m wasted thinking “Thomas you shouldn’t be doing that man. But all right… thats cool!”
Thomas: I remember everyone was cheering me on. Someone had dropped a pack of cigarettes down a whole bunch of floors off the balcony and I was like, fuck! I’ll go get it!
