00:00Fresh off the mint, okay, what's up?
00:02What's up? Like, what is, what's that room like? Were you allowed to say anything?
00:06Um, I mean, they locked up your phones, and, uh, it was definitely like a, like a, a silent game in there.
00:11No, I'm playing. It was fun, it was fun. I don't know how much of it I'm allowed to talk about, honestly, but, uh, it was...
00:16Tell us everything.
00:17Well, I gotta say, man, the fit was everything to me.
00:20I loved it, and I love that you made fun of it, like, Kai Sanat was posting about you.
00:23Oh, that was hilarious.
00:23And then you were like, yo, I gotta post it.
00:25Boozy, boozy, boozy, you.
00:27I like how you say my name.
00:28And that's why. It's funny, because certain people say my name, like, how people said it when I was growing up.
00:31And it's just like, you just remind me of somebody I grew up with, so it's just funny.
00:34You know, like, where I'm from, from the DMV, it's like, we like to, we like to joan and roast each other.
00:38So it's like, I'm always, like, I'm always in on the, you know what I mean, on the joke, and always in on some, like, yo, go ahead, cook me.
00:43What's up? Cook me. I got you, too.
00:45But I was number six on the best dress list, though.
00:47Let me see what you got. Yeah, you know what I mean?
00:49Come sit at this table at the Met Gala, so, you know what I mean?
00:51A lot of people can.
00:52Yeah, it was amazing, though. It was really cool. The look was awesome. To incorporate turquoise, you know, the theme was amazing.
00:58You know, Dandy, just exquisite tailoring. I think we wanted to just do something that was really, you know, something different than what I usually do.
01:05You know, we had options, and I was like, you know, everything else was kind of like, we've done that before.
01:09I wanted to do something different, so I think we definitely succeeded in that, man, and I love the outcome, so.
01:14Dude, and I'm appreciating your energy right now, but I want to know how the hell you do it, bro.
01:18So, I mean, Coachella, Stagecoach, ACMs, Met Gala, like, when do you sleep? How are you alive?
01:23Yeah, I don't even, man, I don't even know. But I like it, though, because it's like, it just shows, you know, I feel like I'm in an elite group of people that, you know, really work hard.
01:32And, you know, even after this, I don't even have enough time to stay and hang out.
01:36It's like, I get to, you know, go, and I feel like a lot of my favorite artists and a lot of the people I respect, their work ethic is very similar.
01:41You know, they get in, you know, and, you know, they get out.
01:44But, you know, when you have time to hang, we definitely hang hard.
01:46But, you know, I'm getting in this stage in my life where I want to just, like, definitely work hard and make sure I'm taking care of myself and, you know, ready to give the next opportunity the same energy that I, you know, did last night.
01:58That's one of the next opportunities. Bro, I'm excited you're going on tour. What are we going to do on tour? What can fans expect?
02:03Man, it's going to be exciting. It's going to be a great time. Just, you know, you know, I think it's going to be really cool.
02:09I did my first tour, I think, a couple months ago, so I'm like, and then seeing, like, some of my friends play, like, Role Model and the Marias and seeing so much.
02:16I've been inspired from Stagecoach and Coachella to, like, really build up the, you know, the set design and the outfits.
02:21So I'm really excited to see, like, what we could do now. The rooms are bigger, so hopefully the budgets are bigger.
02:26And I'm really excited to get out there with new music, too.
02:29Yeah. Oh, dude, I was just telling Jelly how much I've been playing out. Amen, bro.
02:32Like, the way it is platinum in my car, bro. Platinum.
02:35Thank you so much for hanging out with us, man. We love you, bro. Of course.
