• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Answered everything for me. Goodness stake with you, brother.

  Speaker 2: For those of you watching this interview right now, you
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: have to know that Chris is the coolest guy that
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I have not even met. This is the closest we've
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: gotten the meeting. We've just been emailing, and he's already
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: helped me more than someone who claims to be a manager.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Do you want to be my manager, Chris, because you
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: know you've already kind of done management.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Duties for me on this tour and we've only just
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: met a few days ago.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Will you be getting yourself in for and I would
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: get ourselves in a lot of trouble.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I'm Trump my middle name. You know the thing about
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: trouble is you just got to make sure you don't
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: get caught. Remember my distant cousin, so my great great
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: grandfather was Ned Kelly's uncle. So I've got trouble in
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: my blood.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: You kidding me?
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: There?
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Are you fed akin? You're not gonna tell us that?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: What? Am I gonna tell you the truth about what.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: They have been related to Ned Kelly?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I'm serious. My great great grandfather was his uncle. And
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: in fact, Ned Kelly's friend, William Strickland, was arrested and
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: then released, and then he went to my family because
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: my grandmother was born in Fremantle. He went to Fremantle
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: and he lived as the recluse for the rest of
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: his life until nineteen fifty eight with my family.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: So that was, yeah, dump stop.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: If you're already you're already practiced forty in dude.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, like I said, it's it's obviously it's a
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: it's a cousin's. But my grandmother's maiden name or last
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: name was Kelly.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Right there you go.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Well, in case anyone missed that fantastic intro from you,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: maheat Thomas, I and Nicholas will be in Australia very soon.

  Speaker 3: American pie Emo Night celebrating twenty five years of the
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: greatest love story ever made studying in Sydney on January thirty.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: First you go through Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Melbourne, Parra,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: finishing Newcastle on February the ninth flight. You say it's
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: going to be your first time here, made like, why
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: neglectus for so long? It's been on twenty five years, Pray.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, it's not my first time to Australia. I
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: went to visit my family on the West Coast when
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I was ten years old in nineteen ninety because my
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: grandmother was in Vaudeville in the early nineteen hundreds with
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: her two sisters. They were the Kelly sisters. So I
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: have been to Australia before. But I've been trying to
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: put together a tour in Australia since twenty sixteen, and
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: for whatever reason, things would fall apart and I just
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: wasn't gonna take no for an answer this time. I
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: don't want to bore you with the failures, the two
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: failures of this tour, and it almost didn't happen again,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: and I just I picked up, picked myself up by
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: my bootstraps, and I was like, this is not going
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: down again. I'm getting over to Australia.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: I mean sort of quickly randos through what you got
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: planned for us before, but got a little bit more detail,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: like what the lives have you got for us?

• 4:33

• 4:41
  Speaker 2: any given night of this tour, you're gonna get one
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: of those three things. Sometimes you're gonna get all three
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: of those things. So like for instance, the night with

  Speaker 4: I want to pick the right one to come to you.

• 5:43
  Speaker 4: I haven't got that many fingers. Brother, we're gonna be.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Trying to catch up with Jarrett from Bowling for soup.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I think the Coast well, I'm saying, uh, with how
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: many beers we drink.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: And we'll send it to him be by beer.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So you celebrate in twenty five years of American five?
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: So what does the movie mean to you now? Twenty
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: five years on?
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Man, it's it's really a highlight moment for me that
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: has opened up so many doors. I mean, here I
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: am twenty five years later and the success of this
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: billion dollar franchise is giving me the opportunity to come
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: and toward Australia. So the doors that it opens for
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: me just continue to happen.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: And I'm so thankful.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: And I've got Asti bry like back in the casting side,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: spear One that you got the role with Kevin not
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Jim's side he gets to make out with Nadia.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: No, because I didn't have to have the love story
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: with the pie.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I was okay with with my role as Kevin, and
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I was okay with being the chef of Stiffler's.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Pale ale as opposed to the customer.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: He could.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Mentioned a love story with the pie ride like, I'm
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: sure you sort of spiked me on these lobside of
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the years. But when that when you first found out
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: that was in the script, and when everyone actually knew
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: it there's gonna be pie fucking going on?
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: What was the reaction?
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: You know? For me?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: So I had my initial reaction was actually way worse
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: than you could think. The first scene in the movie
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: was Kevin and Vicky, not Jim and his sock puppet.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: It was Vicky instructing Kevin on which way to use
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: his fingers. We'll let you put the rest of the
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: the scene together in your own mind. And so I
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: threw the script in the trash, called my agent and
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I said, why are sending me porn? So later when
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: they offered it to to my my friend Andrew Keegan,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: but he was doing ten Things I Hate about You
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: with Heath Ledger.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Another legend may he rest in peace also from per
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And so when he.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Couldn't do it, they came back to me and I said,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I would read the whole script. Now, when I read
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the whole script, I realized that the characters had so
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: much more heart, There was so much more to the story,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: so that by the time you get to the quote
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: unquote pie scene, you're already so invested in the characters that, yes,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: it does become the thing you walk away with, but it,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: you know, I just was I.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Think I was probably just bad. I didn't have to
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: do that scene.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I have Did he do that?
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Say, like, did he was there any like special effects
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: and ankles got on there? Or did he actually fordicate
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: with a pie?
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think he took it to dinner first,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: because you know, Jason's a nice guy.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: But you know, we weren't. We weren't there for the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: filming of the scene.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure if you, uh, you know, google search
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: that you could, I bet you could find Jason talking
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: about how they did it, because they did shoot it
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: two ways, one one standing and the other on the countertop.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm not going to go into many more
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: questions about American pie might because I just Q and
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I using the shows and people can ask you themselves,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: because I don't want to spoil it for anyone. And Babe,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: we're actually a music magazine, so he'd better start talking
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: a bit of music.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Well, we hear, here's the crossover for you.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: How about the crossover of my band having a song
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: on the soundtrack album of the fourth American Pie American Reunion.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Well, tell us about that.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Well, I technically had my band and tried to get
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: a song on each and every soundtrack. It just didn't
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: come together until the fourth one. But if you if
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: you can't tell by now, you might start to realize
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: that I'm the type of person that doesn't give up
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: too easily. In fact, they never give up. So when
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I want to go some something with my one of
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: my with music or acting, I just keep aiming for it,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and eventually I get there, even if it takes me
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: thirteen years, there's twenty years whatever. That particular song landed
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: in there because I didn't just I kept asking them
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: for the favor and they kept telling me yes on one,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: two and wedding, And then by the time I did
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the fourth one, I was like, you know what, I
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: keep asking for the favor. They keep telling me yes,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: but then they don't follow through. So I basically figured
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: out a way to play the rap party, and when
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I played a live show, that's how I won everyone over.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: So if that doesn't give you an indication as to
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: how good my live shows are, I don't know what
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: to tell you.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: And you are a bona fide band as well, Brian,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: like you've had seven albums out, they have it, Dude,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: how much of a difference to you created a Mike
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: having the song on the soundtrack?
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Law? Did that jump it massively?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously that song has a lot of plays,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: like digitally on Spotify and all that stuff, but a
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: lot of that is to do with American Pie fans,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: so it didn't really launch things.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I would say that the biggest.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Launch for my music career came a couple of years
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: ago when I became friends with Jarrett Reddick from Bowling
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: for Soup. We did a retro screening event for his podcast,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Jarrett Goes to the Movies, and we watched American Pie
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: with a live audience, and I had worked it out
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: with him to play a show at the end of
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: the Q and A and the podcast So when we
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: did Jarrett saying nineteen eighty five, and when he got
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: to like the second verse, he goes, you know, we're
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: feeling all sorts of nostalgia just having watched American Pie.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Was let's sing lyrics about American Pie instead. So on
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: the fly we started like vamping lyrics and improving them,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: and I think it like ended with you know, I
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: said something like, you know, Finch could get his vest
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: but started and then me from like the podcast goes,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: and then somebody started, and like that's pretty much where
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: we broke up into laughter. And I walked away from
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: that event, you know, the next day with a big hangover,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: and I was like the hangover I didn't deserve. And
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I texted Jarrett said, man, I think this, this might
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: be like a good parody. I texted him a bunch
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: of lyrics, and he goes, let's make a TikTok video.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: So when I like six months later, I opened for
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: him and Rob in Baltimore and I recorded the TikTok
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: video by myself in the hotel room. It got half
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: a million views, and then Jarrett goes, come to Dallas,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: let's record the song. So I like worked on the
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: lyrics with Jarrett. So this might be the only time
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: that a.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Band has ever done a parody. Am I still in there?
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Did my call? Mess me up? All right? Sorry, my
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: drummer has just landed in Canada and he's called me,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: so it's like I'm in an interview. Shut up.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: So yeah, this might be the only time that a
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: band has ever written a parody with the band they're
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: doing the parody of, and then recorded it with the
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: band that I.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Was doing the parody of.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: So it's just you know, sort of art imitating life,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: life imitating art, so to speak.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Fantastic.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: And then for those who might not be too familiar
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: with your music, like yeah, yeah, sort of pop punky
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: song stuff like similar in the vein of Teenage dirt
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Bag by Waitas you.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Know, I would say it's more along the lines of
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: like of Bowling for Soup. I mean, Watas has Teenage
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: dirt Bag. But even Brendan will tell you that that
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: that song sort of stands on its own, you know,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: toward their other catalog stuff. I would say, you know,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I grew up with you know, like Lit and Green
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Day and Blink point eighty two.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: So I'm definitely in it.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: From the seventh album that was produced by Taylor Carroll
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: from litt that I have features from Bowling for Soup
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: and Less than Jake doing the most pop punk that
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I've ever sounded like.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Oh and when you are when you play any sets,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: are they gonna be like one hour long set or
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: are you doing two forty minute sets?
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: At most, it'll be a ninety minute set.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I don't like to take breaks once I start.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Obviously, you know Whedist will be I'm opening, so that's
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: a half hour acoustic set, but Newcastle and MOS will
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: be ninety minutes. And then I think in camera I
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: might be doing something shorter because it is a festival.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: I go.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Now, You've also been in recent music videos for Bringing
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Me the Horizon and Eisneine Kills. So tell us that
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: that legitimizes you to all the metal paper Brian sell
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: us it down.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Then, uh, yeah, that's awesome.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: So Spencer and Nadia are great, and then that's how
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I kind of became friends with them a couple of
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: years ago.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I remember when they called me to be like.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: First of all, to Bring Me the Horizon video was
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: rat And it turns out that American Pie is Allie
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Syke's favorite movie, so he was stoked to have me there.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: And then when Spencer asked me about doing the Eysteine thing,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I hadn't not even seen Terrifier. So when they're like,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: you're gonna catch the baby, I'm like, I'm gonna do
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'll just I'll figure it out, and
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I just like showed up and then you know, I
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: caught the baby.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Along those lines made We've actually got a I've got
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: a segment on started and called our photo bombs.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: So basically, I'll trow you social media before we.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Talk, and I come up with a couple of photos
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: I want to ask you more about.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Oh geez, okay.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: One of them was.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: That fight I made like I got to stress here
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: that no babies were hurt in the making of this.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: No, no babies were hurt in the making of that.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: That is a a baby doll, so to speaks.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: What's actually happening there? What are you juggling babies for?
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Well? This is this is like the thing.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: When Spencer told me about this, I was like, I'm
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: doing what And so my main goal was to just
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: not drop the baby, and I never dropped the baby,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: but What's.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: What's actually happening in the scene.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: For those of you that haven't seen the eis nine
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: video for.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: A work of art, which is in Terrifier three, this
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: is art essentially kills one of the main characters who's pregnant,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: chokes her with the umbilical cord, carries the baby, but
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: as he's walking toward the stage, chucks the baby behind
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: him and I catch the baby. So at the end
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: of the video you hear the baby cry, which technically
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: means I could still be alive. So I've told Spencer
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: I'd like to be in the sequel, and he now
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: that as the new killer can chase me and the baby.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: Man, it's a scoop right there for you. All right
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: in the second fight, I'm spoken about your relationship with
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: charried before, but when I found this fight, I had
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: said that he was just explaining the story about how
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: he is all my didn't become friends that story.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yes, that So this is this. Yeah,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: basically I'm an asshole and we almost didn't become friends. No,
• 17:17
