  SPEAKER_01: Do you guys have like a pre-show ritual before you go on stage?
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_02: We take a shot of bourbon.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_02: Um small shot, nothing like crazy, but we've missed it twice, and it was like two of the worst shows we've ever had.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_02: It really is like it's a luck thing, so we cannot go to a show without taking a shot.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_01: Amazing.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_01: And you're quite big on content.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_01: What made you like post the initial first video like that you ever did?
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_01: Because it is quite a scary thing to kind of put yourself out on the internet for everyone to see.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_01: What kind of like pushed you to do that?
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I really I hate still kind of do.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_02: I hated social media.

  SPEAKER_02: I like I didn't have an Instagram, I had like a Facebook for my high school band.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and it was just it was COVID, nothing to do, couldn't play in bars.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_02: I'd live with my parents back at home for a little bit just because everywhere was closed.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_02: And it was like, you know what, we gotta try everything.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_02: So I just tried some videos and they sucked, and then tried a couple other videos, and one of them went viral, which was weird.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_02: And just a bunch of people started following the page, and it kind of was like, Well, if I ever want to do this, then I probably have to do this.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_01: Amazing.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_01: You were big in Australia as well.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like, did you see when you first started those videos that it went kind of like already had some traction?
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_02: You can see, like, yeah, I'm sure you can see it on TikTok too, but like streaming numbers on Spotify, you can go and look city by city breakdown of like your top 50.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_02: And every single song of mine, the top five, is Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe throw in like a Montreal or London or something in there and then Perth.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_02: That's my top five.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_02: Every single song.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_01: Oh that's fantastic.

  SPEAKER_01: My brother actually introduced me to you, and I remember this was like five years ago.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: He would comment on your posts and be like, Come to Australia, come to Australia.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_01: So it worked.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, why do you think we're here?
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_01: And now he's in America, so it doesn't even matter.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_02: No, we people here are unbelievable.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_02: It's just the crowds are you know, we love playing in America.
