that's 10 days 26 but close wow anyhow but uh so you guys recorded that all by yourself well not like by yourself but pretty much on your own dime yeah we we actually um were about to sign to a record label i won't say which record label but it involves a never mind it rhymes with bapital bapital bapital records maybe you've heard bapital beckards we almost signed to bapital almost no it's a fictitious name it's not meant to there it it doesn't insinuate anything no but opposite of cat apartment anyway whatever the op cat apartment records uh and we ended up not not signing with them um which was a bummer cat apartment better become a real record label after this cat apartment anyway so cat apartment told us that they were not going to have us on their label and um we had already put like the deposit in for the studio and we're like ready to go um and you know book the time so we creatively had to come up with the money in like a week mm-hmm um which well it's a blowjobs yeah thousands thousands of um yeah so you guys should have charged more i mean i'm not gonna complain we gotta record more songs there yeah um so yeah and then the the next week we hit up omaha we drove all the way to omaha intense how many songs did you guys record for the whole thing 12 we recorded exactly the record wow nothing more nothing less was that just a matter of time or was it like those were the ones you'd fleshed out out of everything you guys had worked on and you were like those were yeah i mean there were songs we just wanted to yeah i mean we we had two weeks and we we wanted to put all of the effort into the record and not like a bunch of songs some b-sides yeah we we ended up recording b-sides on our own at our house which came out pretty well like the song rumble in the jungle which is the b-side of the dream dream seven inch seven inch yeah it's a good track thank you yeah casey recorded that himself yeah well where did you guys record rambling man uh with um which in case you don't mcgregor in case people don't know that's from the under the influence series that you guys have with uh look mexico look mexico the best band in the world yeah love their side of that split my wife did not know that it was them and you guys not you guys i wish i wish we were that talented i remember she saw it it was the last time in february she saw it on your guys merch table and she's like he loves that song and i'm like it's not them that's the other band on the space babe awkward babe you're embarrassing me you're making me look bad in front of the guy that's why you don't go to shows anyhow where are you going i'm gonna read off a couple more embarrassing things yeah chris is going through my record collection um i got there's some really i don't i don't consider it embarrassing because i don't get embarrassed by shit that i like but hot water music they're who the fuck are those guys strung out bunch of old bearded fucking stuff stolen everyone gets their shit stolen i'm amazed you guys could park outside my apartment complex and not get your shit stolen we have a force field paid extra for that it was a nice add-on anyhow so you guys just let me find one more embarrassing thing and then all right see it's not that i don't want to ask questions but no use for a name chris well no i won't say that i don't really know anything about that man well they're from here so don't say that from here they're from san jose are you gonna bleep out all the bands that he said no no no you guys don't get that privilege what about the off with their

defiance why do i put up with you all right all right continue the interview do you know how much editing it would take to make sense i don't have that much time just have to do a different interview if it's gonna make sense so you guys you're on tour with william elliot more yes yesterday was the first day oh yeah it was and it was a good first day even though i only caught like it was my birthday it was your birth course it was a good day your first first day of the tour my first 23rd birthday that i've ever had and probably the last i hope unless we uh unless they turn the crank on the island and we get stuck in a loop and then you might have more i'm only on season two you're only on season two i'm only on the end of season two yo yo can i watch the hd i gotta go so i'll see if we can get it up oh man that'd be awesome chris can stay in here with you can't know i don't even know anything about all this time travel and all these well then get caught up i will quickly i will

day of the tour how did you guys get hooked up uh on william ellie what more tour uh well we have the same booking agent so i think that's part of it yeah that might have something a little something and also we we went on tour with murder by death and they are great friends with william ellie whitmore and they kind of nudged him a little bit and told told him okay we were pretty cool guys take these guys on tour but we are aren't we no you guys are fantastic so does he really like dudes does he really tour in like a fucking like donkey pulled like cart is he uh i think stage coach yeah i think so he just has a it's him a donkey he's got a stick with the um with a handkerchief a little knapsack going over his shoulder that's all he needs that's all he needs i've seen him it's truly it's um the more i've read about him though the more he really does live this weird crazy cabin life which is dressed very well last night no he was very nice yeah he bought me a birthday shot he had a very vintage style suit going put on a good great show too yeah i almost said good but then i went for great you were like he put on a great show show it was gonna be good god he roped him in yeah he doesn't even have t-shirts no can you believe it we're gonna start making his t-shirts and selling them at your shows yeah we're just gonna cross off fake problems on all our t-shirts and write will you know it more he'll sell twice as many yeah especially if it's the only shirt yeah he didn't how how do you not have t-shirts even like the opening band uh i guess that is kind of weird to just have your name on a t-shirt yeah that's true these are my t-shirts they say my name my name's on all these t-shirts should make basketball jerseys with a whitmore on the back yeah you could do that i would buy that or the chuck reagan thing was cool the chuck yeah yeah where are you going more coffee derek derek's leaving derek just dropped his mic it's over he's out the idea of t-shirts was more than he could take anyway so uh what are you guys working on now you guys just kind of touring on the album where you guys got any future plans to record uh eps anything of that nature when we're home we try to write as many songs as possible guys aren't home very often are you right so when not too many new songs none at the moment so yeah i mean right now we're just focusing on still it's great to be alive and getting it out there to as many people as possible how long are you guys on the road for right now i mean we're not just this one but like continuing when's the next like huge break you have huge break well large good size wait large or huge more than a more than a couple of days what's the difference between those three things uh after this tour this tour ends on may 16th um and we'll be home for like five weeks really which is a while wow and then july i think you guys are in that again late june we go out for june late june july and august and then late august we go to the uk for reading and leeds and then do uh two weeks in europe germany and all those other european countries all those no it's the only one that comes to mind right now i'm sure there's other ones germany and non germany countries yeah there you go and then after that we get home we don't know what we're doing right now but we'll only be home for if we don't do anything we'd only be home for another like five weeks because we go out or even four weeks because we go out uh the last half of october with frank turner in the uk wow derrick is making coffee he's really excited about it you guys when you guys got four weeks down you should just fly out to san jose we'll put you guys up i would love to do that stay in here the computer room in the computer room why don't you have one of our records framed on the wall because richard has andrew jackson jihad against me akimbo young livers jason webley and the loved ones framed on his wall because the framed records are the ones that are done more for the art and up until what the heck are you talking about have you seen our record cover up until your most coolest your most recent record cover is pretty good you don't like skulls you don't like all the skulls on the other ones yeah the other one which looked like it gave my eye syphilis and i love steak mountain i think chris is a fantastic moving to san francisco is he yeah maybe we could finish that maybe we can finish that email interview that he and i started like fucking nine years ago you should do a real interview with i like him he's funny but uh he's a great artist but like for real the bright orange it was too awesome for you it was a little too much it burned holes in my retinas yeah so needless to say it just didn't pan out but your new album i like that thank you great art it's understated did you no chris did it i was gonna say didn't we just mention steak mountain did you guys that work no so you guys totally went with steak mountain because he's fucking uh against me did it yeah totally you were just like listen i'm just trying to do everything i can yeah to be like against me that's me sir i i do gotta ask i do gotta ask you get the comparisons a lot is it annoying at this point where it's just kind of it doesn't even make sense to be compared to against me aren't you tom gable's long lost little brother son i know like it's it's one thing like okay with himself like i can deal with people like saying like you guys sound like against me i'm like okay i'm over it great okay whatever but then like when people are like you gotta look like tom gable too wait a minute i can't i can't i can't even be alive and not be compared to you're both from florida oh my god yeah no i just it's it's weird to me at this and like we were talking about earlier i've always thought anarchy was stupid yeah i'm like you you never changed that opinion it's not like in your adult age now you're like fuck that's retarded but i don't know i mean i guess i don't know on the older stuff i could see it a little bit more but certainly not anything you guys are doing lately but yeah yeah i don't know people they're a great band though they're great guys yeah got nothing against wonderful men i like him warren was even at the fest and i didn't get to say hello yeah i saw him at that harvest of hope thing did you i saw all of them he's an insanely nice guy most justin no derrick just said james bought me a or he didn't buy it he won me a stuffed little bear and like a carnival game yeah what it was like we're on a date they had harvest harvest of hope had carnival games yeah it was like a carnival that's fucking awesome bands that's pretty sweet did he get your goldfish like throw the little ping pong ball i actually wasn't with him when he won it he just walked up to me and gave it to me he was just like i think he he got it for his wife and then she didn't want it and he didn't want to carry it around anymore so he just gave it to me he was like my wife doesn't want it you're the next best thing enjoy i've heard that before so we're gonna take uh the little break that we take in the middle in between interview portions uh just play some songs from fake problems again they are going to be i want to say they're touring in europe in the next couple weeks they have some downtime right now but they're gonna be all over the place so keep an eye out for them uh we're gonna play another track off of it's great to be alive i haven't picked those yet but i will and you'll hear them and then we're going to go back in an

derrick's bag what from the boston show and are holding it ransom until we get to la why funny guys when wait where did you why were the bronx in your boston show we played with them in boston really this is the letter this is from matt if you ever want to see your bag alive again you will contact this email upon your arrival in los angeles if you try to involve the police or outside muscle of any kind your bag will die which one is matt is matt the singer that's funny singer of the bronx what a weird fucking thing what is what is the title juggling bag uh juggling bag from middle east club so why but you sent that email to them no they sent this back but you sent them an email first um yeah their tour manager had me send this matt an email oh why that's funny so they took your fucking bag what is so you've been wearing the same clothes i think it's no it was like a it was literally like a bag that has juggling balls and a notebook in it i think oh i wonder if they read through your notebook oh diary so wait you carry this entry we have to play with the bronx today fuck so bummed on that well i would imagine you guys are i mean turns out we're not a hardcore band no what is this chris has like one leg up like he's got a little captain in him so anyhow so wait the bronx have your bag yeah and you have to call them to get it back you're juggling balls yeah good luck with that dude are there any bowling pins in there flaming torches uh there are glow-up balls i think wow why did steric bring juggling balls with him have you ever seen us play he could juggle i've i've never seen him juggle and now he's entirely disconnected from the interview he said me juggle he's what he told you to stop juggling yeah really yeah i didn't know that i'm looking at wow what they the bronx sound island deaf jam music group like a while ago i didn't know no but like they're not that's like the first label yeah they they're not on island anymore their last album was self-released no that's it's through an island imprint not anymore no they're on white drugs which is their own label yeah but they released their they released their first album on ferret with distribution from island and then their second album was on island and i guess it didn't sell as well and island dropped them this is already i don't want to yeah bronx that's a good record it is that's a really i don't want to say they got dropped but their third album not on island have you ever interviewed them uh i did i interviewed matt at warp tour one time when i was getting drunk at warp tour was it fun it was the only way to enjoy warp tour i don't know what was it fun to talk to him yeah he's a nice guy what are you chris i told you this is gonna be unlike chris just climbed onto the bench in the office and then jumped off mid-room like spider-man i'm trying to do my first mid-air on-air interview interview ask me a question i'm gonna answer it in the air uh favorite album this year oh i gotta think about it first i gotta think and then jump what records came out this year fake problems it's great to be alive but i didn't jump yeah you gotta think of a better record i think of a cursive cursive no oh connor obo's outer south that's pretty good i answered the whole question that was that was not bad all right this is the weirdest thing i've ever seen this is fun this is this is not weird this is better than when you guys get to do radio interviews and they're like so what's it like being in a band so touring you're on tour what happens when you're on tour where do you shit in the van what do you do do you stay oh speaking of which hey you sound like against me what are you gonna do while we do the the tour questions so uh yesterday yesterday while you guys were on tour for your birthday for my birthday you requested that uh the guys in the band put vix vapor rub on their balls on their balls and we did it why did that you were you just were like i want to see where this goes i like to feel unified with all my friends and do something that you know stimulates us all in the same way at the same time how did it feel it felt freaking awesome yeah derrick what did you think um what the fuck are you don't even know the question they don't even know what the question was that it should be legalized people with cancer who don't want to opt for prescription medicine and use it as a treatment and it makes it better and it makes them uh less pain and if they think that that's the best treatment i might think they should be able to say that derrick's so distracted he didn't hear the question i don't know if that was he's reading fake problems wikipedia right now are you serious you are reading your own way but i have to say in context his answer was pretty awesome it was pretty good it's pretty great so uh how did that go what are you talking about again oh the vix paper rub oh my gosh that's what you're talking about yeah man my balls felt like i was dipping them in ice cold water and then in a little fire and then back in the ice cold water and then back in the fire it was awesome and it gave me a reason not reason more of an excuse because never had the reason to touch my balls in the van yeah touching your own balls is the reason yeah it's just like you can't just sit there and touch your balls but with this vaseline you can rub it and you can rub your balls and also you can uh piss yourself yeah also that's the meat of the story another part of the story is uh first i made the statement to everyone at a certain point it's going to feel like you're peeing your pants but you're not don't worry and then i started peeing my pants for real because i was laughing so hard because it was so hilarious um and and then i then you peed my pants some more after that because i was laughing hard so you so the first time you really just thought that's how it felt and it turned out yeah you were actually yeah yeah yeah yeah well there you go and these are the same pants still i know you've been wearing those for about 36 hours site ever your website isn't the worst it's pretty awful it could be better it's outdated it's got the venture brothers the listen takes takes you to how far our bodies go yeah we should fix it i try to get kirk to fix it no fake problems are looking another website right now you're supposed to stream of our record and then i'll switch yeah because no one will listen to that oh oh you're gonna call call the punk news mr punk news i'm gonna say please stream our record chris moran chris moran and chris moran will be like oh i don't know you guys are you guys gaslight anthem oh are you guys a band that i can claim credit for finding because otherwise chris moran is a great man i like him are you gonna beep his name out just like defiance ohio it's so funny you guys are you have to listen to this whole thing you guys are dickweeds this is so much fun are these your bikes and your bike uh things no you have this interview to make it seem like it's interesting and fun i don't have that kind of time dude for real we could edit it just because you suck you want to edit it right now we have a paper shredder i don't edit here i mean who's really listening to this at this point everybody's commenters everybody loves my shit we're fucking huge i'm on the internet have a website maybe you've heard anyway sound scene revolution oh i want you to meet this this guy his name is ronan ronan coffin yeah he runs a real podcast he's good huh he's ever seen his things dude issue oriented so much better than mine yeah well yeah but i don't fuck around yeah we talked about you to him yeah was he like fuck that guy sounds like a queer no he said you were cool fan of your stuff and then he listens to he's a really good guy like i i am glad we're not in the same arena as issue oriented because it isn't a podcast i'd really want to try and compete with yeah like they do podcast yeah they do their thing and it's much better than ours and so i'm glad serious questions that's the thing is he's very he's what did he ask you guys so many crazy things was he like derrick tell me about your childhood no but i i told him he's in jersey so i guess he'd be like tell me about your wicked smart childhood i told him about defiance ohio that that we can include hopefully he's gonna bleep it just like you just you're you're a complete dick bag i don't have words to describe what an asshole you are all right anyway i love you guys all right well i think we're we're gonna wrap the dude no one's gonna listen everyone's like fuck these guys fuck those guys all right so uh anything else you guys want to push before we uh wrap up your interview here uh no nothing i don't really have anything to say shows tours we're done everyone this is the last interview we're ever gonna do dude i hope maybe one of you guys can fucking off one of yourselves gonna become huge we'll have to get um yeah only way casey's gonna die is from some hygiene related bacteria oh i love casey me me too just his stories yeah do not make me want to hug him yeah don't want to get too close to what can i say uh it's great to be alive that's a good record it's pretty good it's worth purchasing get those sound scan numbers up apparently according to the sticker on the front of it you got it's the best record ever best record what does it say it's such a great sticker what does it say like uh simply put fake problems is the best band you'll ever hear yeah something like that it's something like that and there's no citation and it looks like a sticker you would have printed off of like an avery label maker at your house it's the greatest thing ever we'll say on record we did not approve that sticker to be on our no side one dummy is a great label with a lot of great people but uh that's probably one fell through the crowd and i'm gonna say this because i don't want them to say anything in my opinion it's probably the worst marketing maneuver of the last decade it's if i saw that on a cd i'd probably pass it over yeah so but whoever said it there's a new there's a new that's so harsh i'm just dude that is the worst i i don't like you know i don't like recommendation stickers at all yeah and so one that says something that bold without any citation it's just kind of like who the fuck said that yeah like i would assume it was one of you guys saying yeah i would assume it was one of you guys yeah and i could see derek saying that it's kind of a dick but now there's another a new sticker on it which is better it's actually a pair of balls yeah it's like fake problems now with ball stickers all right you guys what are you doing derek's looking at fucking videos what the fuck turn the volume all right that's uh the interview i want to thank you guys for taking your time are you are you derek's playing big problems in the background all right you guys thank you so much for taking the time one more thing there's a there's a comment on on this youtube video of us it says good song the singers to me seems like he wants to be tom gable voice wise that he looks like tom gable a little is a little odd as well wow definitely looks a lot like gable that's for sure are you guys seriously is that seriously the comments on your video yeah that's oh god somebody said we sound like my chemical romance that's cool i'll take that only if you get the money someone else who says total gay oh total gay total gay what there's a lot of comments which one is this not partial gay at the beginning they sound kind of like my chemical romance yeah no not in the least but uh haha he does look like tom haha i thought so too kind of sounds like him similar music style looks like him from florida toured together the similarities are all over oh my god i heard derek perry's actually an heir to the winchester fortune and chris farron only eats hot dogs that's just what oh that's adam volk that's not true we know that dude chris farron ate pizza today i did it's true all right well thank you guys for reading your youtube comments we appreciate it uh good luck on your wait is that tom gable's brother oh love it that's got a blow on the upside his wife's pretty hot so she's nice it bodes well for you all right so thank you guys for coming out all right thank you for bringing us to your home excellent farewell bye uh that's it that's the whole interview i hope you guys liked it i hope you had a good time uh i hope derek perry wasn't too confusing he wasn't really paying attention like while we were doing the interview he was like checking their myspace and answering emails and shit and so he would like answer an occasional question which is why if you uh remember the question about the uh vix vapor rub on your balls he doesn't really answer it because he's not really listening to what we're doing so don't worry about it it's just kind of that's what derek does that and look like a poor man's keanu reeves he really really does but uh i hope you guys had a good time and uh we'll we'll try and be back for a few more episodes so that we don't go dead for like a month and a half at time in the future but it was the season finales were coming up we didn't want to interrupt american idol or lost or i don't know if you watch like fringe or like gossip
