They gave me a 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.200 sam of a lemon bar mystery flavor. I guess the 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:06.880 flavor wrong. I went to Target.

It's Liz Stokes from 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.399 the Baths. Liz. Welcome to. I said, no gifts, Thank you, 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:18.800 thank you for having me. You've been doing show is 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.440 basically non stop since Thursday. 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.000 Tonight we'll be our seventh seventh in a row. 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.399 Yeah, what were the three prior to Thursday? 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:32.240 We played three shows at the Greek Theater up in Berkeley. 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.199 Oh okay, this is I'm supporting death cab for CUTI 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:36.240 in the postal service. 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:38.000 Right, and one of these Was it Friday that you 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:39.520 were doing that show with the Hollywood Ball? 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:40.200 Yes? 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:41.960 Yeah, was that your first time playing there? 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:43.880 Yeah? 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:45.160 What was that experience? 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.080 It's wild, Like I had been to one show there 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.560 and back in twenty nineteen I saw I saw diskcap there. Oh, 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:54.080 so it was it's wild, like it's it's such an 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.280 amazing structure, and yeah, I don't know, it's I think 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.000 one of the fun things about being a musician is 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.440 being able to go like into the back rooms of 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.040 all these like kind of crazy places. 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.000 Yeah, what's going on in the back rooms of the 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:05.840 Hollywood Ball. 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.280 Like it's pretty classic like backroom venue, Like there's just 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.280 dressing rooms. It's just kind of a big car park 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.040 out there, I guess because it's it's mainly like you know, 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.839 it's an outdoor bowl, right right, So watching the pack 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.240 out is always very exciting at these menus of all 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.880 the lights and production and stuff and how it's like 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.160 this ballet of all the lighting people and everything getting 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.520 everything off stage and rolling it into these trucks, you know, 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.919 and they do it all in like an hour, and. 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.560 Yeah, it's like a circus. That's crazy. As an opening band, 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.320 is it scary? I feel like that would be horrifying. 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.040 It's always scary going in because like being an opening 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.960 band on like a big tour is like you are 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:45.040 the bottom of the hierarchy. You are. I think I 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.000 always go in and this is probably also just my 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.280 own like anxiety is talking. It's like you feel like 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.960 you go in and you're like cool, I have low expectations. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.040 I'm we're going to make ourselves kind of like small, 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.240 try and have a really good time, you know, and 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.560 like try and have some nice chats with people and stuff. 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.839 But we've been lucky in the supporter tos that we've 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.520 done where the both the crew who you interact with 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.360 the most and the bands have been super lovely. 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:08.239 No one's been horrible to you. 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.400 No, No, they've like treated us like people and like 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.560 peers actually, which is like very very generous. 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.680 Have you had past experiences where you were not treated 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:16.200 like a human? 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.760 Um? I think so. Like it's because we've done a 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:21.560 lot of support tours in New Zealand, because when bands 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.440 come to New Zealand, like big bands, they don't they 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.640 don't usually bring someone with them because it's so far away. 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.200 So we've like managed to kind of snag some good ones. 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.520 But generally the bands that we've played with are pretty 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.359 nice or like the alternative is that you just don't 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:34.240 interact them at all. 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:39.560 So oh interesting, it's just so cold. Yeah, please explain 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.000 to me how long it takes to get from New 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.400 Zealand to the United States. This is the one big 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.520 thing for me that's keeping me back. 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.520 Yeah, if you don't like flying, it's there's not really 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.360 another way to fly, say, from Auckland to the to 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.120 the West Coast, it's like twelve or thirteen hours if 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.480 you go direct. If you don't go direct, so I 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.400 don't know, sometimes you'll fly via like whole WI or 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:04.400 like Australia or something. Right, but if you yeah, on 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.560 this run, we this is o last show in LA 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.119 and then we're going to fly over to New York 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.119 to do four shows over there, and then we will 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.480 fly home on this like kind of quite new flight 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.080 that and New Zealand's got which is New York to Auckland, 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.480 which is I think about seventeen hours and forty minutes 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.000 or something like that, just like one flight. 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.240 Oh, how are you as a flyer? 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.280 I'm not like a nervous flyer. I just hate it, 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.640 like it's yeah, So it's just I feel like you 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.240 just have to like forget that you're a person for 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.120 a while and kind of like go into your little 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.320 economy seat and take whatever drugs you can legally get 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:38.960 on the plane. 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:43.640 And Yeah, I honestly, if they had like anesthesia at 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.400 the that should be an option at the beginning of 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.520 a flight for they just put you out completely. 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:47.840 Just general. 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.400 Yeah, that feels like a very doable thing for airlines. 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:55.680 Just everyone completely blacked out. Yeah, and then you wake 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:56.680 up at your destination. 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.200 Yeah, maybe they still play you like a few movies. 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.960 Yeah, have movies going in case you come out of 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.560 a tour in case, Yeah, what are you doing to 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:05.880 entertain yourself on a flight? 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.120 I usually watch a movie, Okay, Like I find like 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.320 a I don't know what's what's like a good plane movie. 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:12.960 Like I feel like I feel like. 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:14.760 A good plane movie is like a good like middle 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.159 of the road movie that has kind of an emotional element, 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.359 because I believe you actually are more emotional in the 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.680 air for some reason, like your body is weak. Yeah, 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.240 so you'll I've cried at movies on planes that are 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.200 not great movies. But I think you're just in the 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.400 perfect place to be manipulated on a plane. 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.040 Ah, that's so, that's so interesting. 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.960 Yeah, yeah, what did you watch on the way before 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:36.839 your tour? Do you remember? 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:37.200 Ah? 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:42.240 Yeah, I watched the New Spider Verse movie. Oh okay, 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:43.400 Yeah it was cool. 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.760 And were you Did you feel emotional during it? 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.000 I didn't, but like I'm I'm a bit medicated at 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.520 the moment, so I'm not feel like super emotional all 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.680 the time. Otherwise I think I'd be crying constantly during 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.120 the during this tour. But and I guess on planes. 0:05:56.160 --> 0:06:00.040 But I really liked it. I thought the the beautiful really. 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.240 Really really interesting popping out. How long have you been 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:04.280 on tour for this tour? 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.599 This run? We're about what three weeks? And I guess 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.480 it's just just over. This is a this is a 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.479 short run for us. We'll be home in under a month, 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.599 as in the whole things under a month. 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:14.719 And how many shows total? 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.240 Is that? Oh? Good question? Let me quickly cut them 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:18.760 in my head. 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:21.800 I'm going to try to estimate it. 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.160 Then you reveal, I don't know, like seventeen twenty seventeen, 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.680 maybe that's a lot of that we've ticked over. Our 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.280 hundredth show, of the year. I think, oh my god, 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.359 on this run, I can't remember which one it was. 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.400 But have any cities been highlights for you? 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.000 Yeah, I mean the Seattle shows with Death Gad, we're 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.360 pretty we're pretty awesome. Like them playing this like twenty 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:45.599 year anniversary of two of their records. Sorry, we're in 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.159 one postal service record. And it's just like them playing 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:52.360 like two full arena sized shows. I don't think I've 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.440 played like an arena like that big. It's a lot 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.520 of people in an indoor space. Yes, over the top 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.640 of like the hockey ice was out, so they just 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.480 like they cover it with like kind of like foam 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.120 to keep it, to keep it icy. 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.000 I feel like keeping the ice there is not a 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.720 bad idea. Ice skatering out's probably a hassle, right, Yeah, 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.360 it would be wonderful. Actually, I feel like Frank Ocean 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.960 tried that at Coachella and there was a giant problem. 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.600 I feel like he had like ice on the stage 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.080 and trained like ice skaters. 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:23.360 Yeah, and I. 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:25.960 Can't maybe they couldn't keep the ice cold or now 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.680 I'm now I'm just making things up because I don't 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.440 know the rest of the story. But it was a 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.120 giant disaster. Oh, but somebody's got to pull that off 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:33.760 at some point. 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.920 Hanging out. Yeah, having ice on stage sounds great if 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.400 you don't have to step on any guitar peddles or 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.400 move if you're not one of the ice skaters. 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.720 Stepping on a guitar pedal in an ice skate, Yeah, 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:45.840 skating experience. 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:47.360 It's a great way to slice it in half. 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:50.480 You guys put on like a show show you have 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.720 a giant fish on the stage. Who was responsible for 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:54.720 the giant fish? 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.520 So Lily Paris West. She did all the design for 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.360 our album and when I like sent her an early 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:01.880 vision of the album, and I was like, because I'm not, 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.200 I don't this is stupid. I don't really consider like 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.760 I don't have much of like a visual like you. 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.960 I feel like, yeah, I feel like when it comes 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:12.800 to artwork and stuff like that, I tend to like 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:14.480 try and work with people that are really like what 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.440 they do because I feel like I don't know what 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:16.880 I'm doing. 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.840 Good for you relinquishing control. 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:23.320 Yeah, I love relinquishing control. But it's amazing. And she's 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.640 done lots of lots of records and much more like 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.120 fashion stuff, and so she just like sent us like 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.400 a bunch of like mockups of like potential album cover 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.680 of things, and one of them just had this really 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.320 sad fish and it just I don't know stuff with 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.360 faces like, I just can't. It's I find very hard 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:41.840 to not have an album cover with a face on 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.320 it because it's so all like a human element something 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.760 to connect to. Yeah, it just looks so they just 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.920 look so sad fish. And so we were getting ready 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:52.440 for this tour at the start of the year, I'm like, 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:56.280 we should have something on stage because just to kind 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.599 of like bring people into into into the world of 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:02.240 whatever you're doing. And and a giant inflatable fish seemed 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:02.760 like just the thing. 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.000 Is it made out of like balloon material? What's happening there? 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.760 It's like fabric, but it's like it operates kind of 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:10.520 like a bouncy house, Like it's got a fan that 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.079 keeps going through the whole time, or it will or 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.160 it will. It's not like fully air tight, which I 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.600 feel it would be. If it depended on being one 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.719 hundred percent air tight, it would be a disaster at. 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.960 Some point or something would happen. When was the last 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:26.160 time you were in a bouncy house. 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:33.400 Oh man, too long, it's been It's been years for sure. 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.280 What was last same you're in a bounty house. 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.440 That was an unfair question to ask you because I 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:41.960 can't remember. I'm going to assume it's probably been decades. 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.600 I can't imagine the last I mean a scenario that 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.800 I would have been in a bouncy house. Yeah, it's 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.560 probably as a kid, but my mom wouldn't allow us 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.880 into them because there was some news story where a 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:54.760 kid was in one and it flew away. 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:59.800 That really happened, right, and happened like it's terrified, no joke. 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.880 Does psa strap down your bouncy house? 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:05.520 Yeah, that must be legally required at this point. 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.319 Yeah, I think I think it makes sense tied down. 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.199 To watch someone just be carried away in one of 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.320 those Yeah, agony of watching your child just fly away 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.320 in a bouncy and it's like nothing to grab onto 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.920 you just fallah the inside, there's no grip or anything, 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:19.440 so you're. 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.840 Just Yeah, I think what I remember about bouncy houses. 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:24.479 I'm glad that this has come up, because. 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.240 Well, this was I wanted to ask it first, but 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.080 I thought, well, warm up, then I'll get into bouncy, 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:28.679 the real. 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.800 The real shit. I just I don't remember being that 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.360 them being that bouncy. I mainly remember them being slippery 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.640 and kind of like a fun place to fall down. 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.520 You're a bouncy house snob. Yeah, you don't have me. 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:43.960 Did you like a trampoline? 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.760 I much prefer a trampoline. Okay, And the old style ones, Wait, 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:49.080 you're much closer to death. 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:51.120 What are the are The new ones have like that 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:51.960 cage around them. 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.360 Yeah, and the springs are like not at the side, 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.320 the springs are like underneath so that you can't put 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:56.840 your leg. 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:57.800 Through those springs. 0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:58.280 Yeah. 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.680 Were death traps, Oh, death traps? Yeah, they were like metal. 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:02.760 They had hooks on them. 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.960 Yeah. I've gone flying off a trampoline and landed on like, 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:10.719 oh my head and been alive somehow as a child. 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:12.679 Yeah. That was another thing that I had to kind 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.000 of sneak as a kid because my mom was just 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.760 paranoid about every injury. So it was often like I 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:20.559 went to a friend's house and then didn't reveal that 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.760 I was on the trampoline, and then they started putting 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:28.600 them in the ground. Yeah, like that was fittis inherently dangerous. 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:28.960 Thing. 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:30.920 Just don't buy one. 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.480 Just like I don't know. Kids they got to jump. 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.040 They got to jump, and if you don't give them 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.240 the opportunity to jump at home, they'll got I was 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:41.720 to jump when. 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:42.920 Don't see them jumping at home? 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:44.400 Wouldn't you rather they do it in the house? 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.520 That and drugs just have them doing it at home. 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:47.800 Yeah. 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:51.320 Yeah, now that we're talking about jumping, I really feel 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.760 like bouncing. I feel like there's probably more bouncing I 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.240 want to do than I actually get to do. 0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:00.120 Oh yeah, that's why there's on these adult jumping that. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.120 There's probably a better name than for them than jump 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:06.000 house adult trampoline emporiums. 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:07.960 Oh like the warehouses with the trampolines. 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:13.400 Yeah, I haven't. There's one in Auckland called m Nope, 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.160 I can't remember. I'm gonna call it jump house, but it's. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.640 Well, you should start one. It's your jump house. 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:20.959 I'm sure they make it safer, but they look like 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.600 they're serious trampolines, like with with good bounce. Oh, they 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.400 really get you to the ceiling. Yeah. 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.319 I feel like New Zealand loves to jump and bounce 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:34.239 because isn't bungee jumping. It's like a national pastime. 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.680 It kind of I guess it kind of is like 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:38.480 it's I don't want to say it was invented there 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.959 because I think it was probably just co opted by 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:45.480 from like like some kind of indigenous culture, but it's 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.400 uh yeah, I guess A. J. Hackett's like the New 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.880 Zealand guy who like jumps off stuff just anything popularized it. Yeah, 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:56.600 he likes. He's like bungee jumping the business now and 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.480 like owns all the all the jumping off points. 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.880 And do you I know you bungee jump in a video? 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:02.720 Yeah? 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:04.719 Had you been bungee jumping prior to that? 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.480 I had bungee jumped when I was like thirteen or something, 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.240 because I guess it's New Zealand. It was like, oh, 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.480 we're going on a family holiday to Lake Top or 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:16.240 should we should we bungee jump? And it was I 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.520 went by myself and then my older sister and younger 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.520 sister went like tandem like you know, like uh koala 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.360 on the back kind of vibes and it's this, this 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:26.640 is so great. It's like it was one of those 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.320 ones where you're going over water, so you bounce and 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.880 they like wigh you to figure out how tense to 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:33.160 make the string, to make it so you can touch 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.240 the water but not oh my die. And so I 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.240 did that and then like when in the they kind 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.040 of like lower you down into this boat. Someone's at 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:41.720 the bottom and you grab they hold up a kind 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:42.920 of a stick and you kind of like grab the 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:44.960 stick so they can guide you into the boat. And 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.760 my older sister and young sister, two people I guess 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.400 just said a bit more weight than they I guess anticipated, 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.040 and so they're still bouncing and the person is down 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:55.480 in the boat like holding up the stick, and they 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.240 grabbed the stick and they just pull them out of 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.400 the boat and it's like freezing. Like middle went to 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:05.520 like you know, New Zealand, beautiful scenic river, but he 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.640 had to get like kind of saved and then he 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.560 had to go home because he was very cold. 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:11.360 This feels like your parents were just trying to get 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:11.760 rid of you. 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.520 Yeah, maybe they didn't jump suspiciously. 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.680 Yeah, and so you've only been maybe twice then. 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.520 I yeah, yeah, And like as a kid, I was 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.920 like really scared, but like afterwards I think I was like, 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.440 oh yeah, this is this was a thrilling. And then 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.160 we made a music video and we had like a 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.320 different plan for a music video, but then the director 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.640 got COVID of course the day before the shoot, and 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:37.720 so we just were like, okay, we have this shoot day. 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:39.680 We're leaving on tour in a week. We need to 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.600 make our music video for the song. And we caught 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.720 our friends Callum and Annabel from Sports Team, who just 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:45.960 makes a lot of videos for us, and I just 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:49.080 like all about these crazy beautiful ideas and I was like, 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:50.600 here are some suggestions, and one of them was just 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:52.760 the best go bungee jumping. There's no other concept beyond that. 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:54.440 And they were like, okay, let's do it, and we 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.880 boochered end and we like we jumped like the next day, 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.640 and they came up with this whole storyline and. 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:01.240 Oh god, that's incredible. 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.800 Yeah, but it was all hypothetical at first, and until 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.720 you're actually like walking out and looking over the edge 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.800 and your brain is like I know that this, I 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:13.560 chose this, and that this is safe, safe in quotation marks, 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:17.000 and then your body is just like absolutely not. I 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:18.800 don't believe that for a second. I am going to 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:20.640 die and here we go, let's here we go, We're 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:21.920 gonna die. 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.920 And then do they push you. You're responsible for making 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:26.600 the final move. 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:27.600 They never push you. 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.120 I don't think that. Like, and I think I've probably 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.280 talked about on this podcast before as far as skydiving, 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.680 I feel like there's some primal thing in me that 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.359 would overtake and refuse. 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.760 That's the thing I think that's hard to overcome. Right, 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.440 Do you have to honestly like jump off or fall 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.840 like there's no other way around, otherwise you just won't 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:47.120 do it. 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.040 Yeah, And I feel like I would get to the 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.880 point of like convincing my body, but not enough where 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.400 it would just become dangerous and then I would injure myself. 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:55.040 Yeah. 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:56.960 Like I feel like with skydiving, I would like attack 0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:00.360 the person that's responsible for me, and then we'd get 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.800 caught in the propellers or something. And then in the 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:04.760 bungee jumping, I would like half jump and then I 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.120 would like slam against the side. Yeah, I don't know 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:08.960 that I'm capable. 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.840 Well, that's that's kind of what me and Tristan did, 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:13.640 because they tell you, like if you fall nice and 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:15.640 strong and you fall like straight down with your head 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.000 facing down, you like bounce, you know, with the rope 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.640 and be fine, but if you kind of like let 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:23.360 your body fall off, like me interested that you kind 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.240 of you're going down like horizontal, and then at the 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.520 bottom when the rope kind of like reaches its its 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.560 tenshile end, you kind of like snap down. And I like, 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.400 I think it's not talked enough about. I was googling 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:34.720 for days. I was like, what's wrong with me? I 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:36.280 think it's there's a little you get a little bit 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.880 of whiplash from bunge jump or bunch of jumping. 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.000 That is mortifying to me. Yeah, there needs to be 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.960 more stories out there that things can happen. Yeah, yeah, 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.800 sort are there any like what are the really bad 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.840 things that have happened during bungee jumping? Do rope snap? 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:54.360 Do these sort of things happen? 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.680 I looked it up before, because of course of course 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.760 I did. I was like, you know, like there's a 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.360 bunch jumping staffe, like what are the dangers of it? 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:04.840 And yeah, it does. The dangerous stuff happens when people 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:08.080 are like, it's not what it's like businesses jumping off 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.000 of a forty meter bridge. It's like it's like people 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:11.960 doing I don't know what to call it, like gerrilla 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.239 bunch jumping, like the og where you're just like you 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.480 tie the rope at the top and you jump. 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:20.240 Right like amateurs just showing up at a bridge or something. Yeah, 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.439 and that feels like, of course you're going to die. 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.760 It feels that way, But I guess they didn't think. 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:29.080
