Days before Kruelty's return to Sound & Fury Fest, vocalist and beloved HardLore regular Kohei Azuma (AKA Zuma) returns for his 4th appearance on the show to challenge our honor by (insanely) declaring that he thinks he can eat more nuggets than us. After 8 consecutive weeks on two different full US tours that Kruelty has finally freshly wrapped up, he just might be right... Featuring his wife and Kruelty bassist Seina as special guest co-host and scorekeeper, and Kruelty's manager Taylor Young (AKA his Dad) as moral support.

Colin
Oh, so it's about honor.

Do you think he's honorable? Does he have a lot of honor?
Zuma
Yes.
Colin
What about. Does he have a lot of responsibility?
Sana
Absolutely. Yes.

So it's okay. You get it. What were good shows on that tour? Zuma.
Zuma
I mean, Boston was best for me.

Is that. Do you like the city of Boston as well?
Sana
Yes, both sides, best.
Colin
All right.
Zuma
It's very pretty. There's a ramen spot called Yume Okatare, which. Which is funded by Japanese.

Colin
Is it in there in Cambridge?
Bo
It's in Cambridge.
Zuma
Yeah.
Colin
It's in the. In the H Mart.
Bo
No.

The H Mart is unreal. It's crazy. Yeah. H Mart is sick. But, yeah, it's a different place that they found.
Colin
Wow. I mean, you loved it.
Zuma
Yeah. It's pretty much like what we can get. It's a. It's a, like, specific style ramen called Zero. Zero is the summer's name, you know?

Zuma
So it's like a huge.
Taylor
Oh, so perfect for America.
Zuma
I mean, like, you guys are bad at Eating ramen quick. You know why? Because I gave us a sipping soup.
Colin
I eat fast. No, no.
Zuma
And then a tiny bit of noodles.
Taylor
We enjoy the food.
Colin
You've never seen me eat it.
Taylor
Yeah, we eat it fast.
Zuma
You gotta be like ramen in five minutes.
Colin
That's me. And then I'm finishing everybody else's noodles.
Bo
You gotta eat while it's hot. That's the point.
Zuma
Or you guys are fucking. What was that like breaking our culture, you know?
Colin
Yeah.
Zuma
Ramen is not a like restaurant. You know, you guys are trying it it make into like it's fast food. Like a Buddhist restaurant. Some, but it's actually just fast food. Like you say fast and go kind.
Bo
Of place and you told me a minute ago you're excited to go home. The first thing you're gonna eat is ramen.

Colin
No, she's no nervous here. Not nervous to be here, right?
Zuma
No. So there's a student show.
Bo
That's right. Creeping Death Tour. That kind of. That picked up immediately after our tour. And then saw you guys in Chicago at Reggie's.

Bo
It was a cool show.
Zuma
That's a good venue.
Bo
Yeah, it was a good show. Shane booked that one.
Colin
Oh, come on, Legend.
Bo
And then how long? That tour was long, right? Was. Wasn't that longer than the Full of Hell tour?
Zuma
Yeah, I think it was four weeks, I guess. Cuz when. When did we finish that tour with you, boy? 10th?
Bo
June. Yeah, that sounds about right. 9th or 10th in. In Toronto?
Zuma
No, it's 1111. Four weeks, I guess. But we had a couple days off. You know, some drivers are crazy, so.
Bo
Yeah. Yeah, the Toronto show was really good. That last show. That one was really good too. Canada rocks.
Colin
So. So you have 12 so far?
Zuma
Yeah.
Colin
Just so you know, that's it.
Taylor
I feel like.
Colin
So you got to do that about eight more times. He's doubling and then you're good.
Taylor
So he's Just taking longer to chew each one. See, I don't know if it's a good strategy.
Colin
We'll see.
Bo
We don't really know what the good strategy.
Colin
Yeah, we really haven't figured it out.
Bo
He. So he did one a minute that.
Colin
Didn'T really work after 40 was like, this is the biggest mistake.
Taylor
One a minute.
Bo
One a minute.
Colin
I thought it was smart.
Bo
I went for it. Didn't really work. Yeah, you just got to be hungry.
Zuma
How long did you take to shoot you guys?
Colin
I think okay to get to 88.
Taylor
I'm just starving.
Bo
We had. We had questions submitted by our Discord and Patreon. Join both, if you haven't already. Yeah, we're just kind of winging this one.
Colin
Yeah, we'll get there.
Zuma
We'll get.
Colin
We'll get there. We got time. Because I want to see you get to 89.
Bo
It's fucked up. Because I want a nugget. I know they smell great.
Taylor
They're mine.
Bo
Okay.
Taylor
No.
Colin
Well, Sana, do you want one?
Bo
You want a nugget?
Taylor
You can have one, please.
Zuma
Yeah.
Sana
Thank you.
Colin
And you can add it to Zuma.
Bo
And that's one for Zuma.
Taylor
Do you want mustard?
Colin
Mustard, Mustard, mustard. Big in Japan.
Zuma
Did you know wasabi in Japan, when you buy nagis at some places, you can only get barbecue sauce on the mustard.
Colin
That's it.
Zuma
That's it.
Colin
No ketchup?
Zuma
No. Sweet and sour? No. Maybe ketchup.
Colin
Yeah, I like ketchup on nuggets.
Zuma
That's good.
Bo
Me, too. Yeah.
Zuma
Never even thought about ketchup, you know, really.
Colin
It's amazing.
Bo
Is ketchup not big in Japan? I can't remember.
Zuma
Maybe only for fries.
Bo
French fries. I have. This is my most. I'm weird with food. It's well documented. I will have ketchup with any, like, protein, like, any meat. Eggs, it's fine, but not fries. Oh, I love it with fries, but I just like. I will have ketchup on anything. Damn.
Taylor
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Bo
Steak, I guess. Yeah, I'll do to bad steak. So. Got to help. My mom doesn't really watch this, I don't think, but she used to broil the hell out of steaks. They'd be great. Ketchup was the only way.
Taylor
That's all I could do.
Bo
Yeah.
Colin
Slowing down.
Zuma
Do people cook nuggets at home or.
Bo
No, not really.
Zuma
No.
Bo
I mean, you do.
Colin
There's Dino nuggets, chicken. Oh, yeah. I mean, there's that from scratch, but.

Bo
No, wait.
Zuma
What?
Bo
Explain it. Zuma.
Zuma
No, tell me you don't know Shinchan. Are you serious?
Colin
How do you.
Zuma
It's like an anime, you know.
Bo
Okay, okay.
Taylor
Oh, okay.
Zuma
It's like a Spongebob for you, I guess. Oh, but I think it made here.
Colin
But scary.
Zuma

Stuck in here. That's good.
Colin
You feel good?
Zuma

Your paces are not that different, but Zoomy, you're doing great.
Taylor
I'm smoking them though.
Colin
Like, this app is also unbelievable.
Zuma
Yeah.
Bo
Why? How? We don't know what we're doing.
Colin
We don't have honor and responsibility.
Bo
What's next for cruelty? After you get home.
Zuma
You have an agent tour with Ramrod.
Bo
Oh, really?
Colin
Oh, hell yeah.
Bo
Cool. When is that?
Zuma

Zuma
Pretty much, yeah.
Bo
You stay busy, man.
Zuma
I don't want to, but yeah.
Colin
Was your new record out last time you were on the show? No, I don't think so.
Zuma
No, I don't think so.
Colin
How's it been going?
Zuma
When was the last time we. I did fast food.
Bo
Oh yeah, that's right.
Zuma
It was like a 2024. 2023.
Bo
I think it was early 2024.
Zuma
Okay. Okay.
Bo
I think maybe not, because we did the sound and fury thing. I think it was close after that, and that was 2023, so. Yeah, almost two years ago.
Zuma
Time fries.
Colin
How's the record been? How's the response?
Zuma
I think it's been good.
Colin
People loving it. Okay. You got new stuff?
Zuma
No, only two songs down.
Colin
That's a lot.
Bo
Twos.
Taylor
That's a lot when they're five minutes long.
Bo
Yeah. That's a start.
Zuma
That's true. But yeah, like simply. It's not easy for bands to write. Like, third lp.
Colin
Oh, you know, third LP is tough.
Zuma
This one would be third. You know, that's.
Bo
That's the one where you kind of like, okay, who are we? We gotta do something different. You know, we gotta. We gotta figure this out.
Taylor
Yeah, but he's a new singer.
Colin
Yeah, true.
Bo
That's good. That's a good way to think of it.
Zuma
I might actually sing like you.
Colin
Me?
Zuma
Yeah, Like I might sing on the new record. What you think?
Colin
I think that's crazy.
Taylor
We're gonna see about that.
Colin
Yeah.
Taylor
I can see the waveform just broke right there.
Zuma
It's creepy, huh?
Colin
The manager should maybe step in for that one.
Taylor
We're gonna have to auto tune that.
Colin
What are. What are some of your favorite bands?
Bo
Okay, we're gonna get the translations underneath for that. Some subtitles for that.
Zuma
Yeah, Just ask me.
Bo
Nice.
Colin
Favorite, man. Just a few.
Taylor
3, 4, 10.
Colin
Some bands you love. And again and again.
Sana
And again.
Colin
Oh, yeah.
Sana
Yes.
Bo
Cool.
Sana
I love this metal band.
Colin
Death metal band.
Sana
Yeah.
Colin
Santa loves death metal.
Bo
Santa, you do one of my favorite moves. You want to know one of your moves that you do on stage that I really like you do? You do this thing that Trish Stratus did. She does the point.
Zuma
What's that?
Bo
Trish Stratus was a wrestler.
Zuma
Okay.
Bo
And Santa does it. Yeah, I like that.
Colin
Some other bands that you love? Yeah.
Sana
But I try pizza.
Bo
Yeah. Oh, you do the pizza? Yeah. We don't call it Circle Pit anymore.
Colin
Sound of the beauty, Sound of fury. Okay, we'll let you know how it went. Here it is.
Taylor
These are starting to get. Get nasty.
Bo
Y. Yeah, they cool off and then it's real bad. I did. I got messages after mine that we should be door dashing, like every 10 minutes. It's just not practical.
Taylor
That's.
Zuma
Wow.
Bo
It's just not gonna happen.
Colin
We could put them in like one of them pizza delivery bags. The hot bags?
Bo
Yeah.
Colin
We get hot maggot that was nasty.
Bo
This is good. There's no room in there.
Colin
No honor.
Zuma
This is what you want me to do? I guess.
Colin
Why?
Zuma
I don't know. You guys want me to be city you.
Bo
Yeah.
Colin
You are suggested doing this.
Bo
You wanted this.
Colin
This is why you wanted you to.
Zuma
Is this my business?
Colin
I like to. I'd like just talking to you anytime, anywhere.
Zuma
True.
Bo
But you we have honor and you challenged. So we're letting it happen.
Colin
Literally challenged my honor. I want to know more about Santa. What is. What's a day in the life of Santa like. Like your full day at home in Japan.
Sana
Me?
Zuma
Yeah.
Bo
Tell her she can answer in Japanese.
Sana
I'm lazy.
Colin
You're lazy?
Bo
Oh, me too.
Zuma
Wow.
Taylor
Here, here.
Zuma
Being lazy is awesome.
Bo
Yeah, it sure can be.
Sana
I'm lazy.
Zuma
We're doing. We walking hard on this already. You know.
Colin
That's right.
Zuma
So when we at home chilling.
Colin
Yeah.
Bo
Yeah. True.
Colin
Eight weeks of touring deserves eight weeks.
Bo
Of chill of just chilling.
Zuma
Yeah. Actually more. But yeah.
Colin
How. How is the response to your new record and cruelty in general in Japan?
Zuma
I think it's been good.
Colin
Okay.
Zuma
Yeah.
Colin
Like the hometown crowds have been getting better.
Zuma
What's funny is people understanding differently depends on the country. Like so this song has like big three mosh BS. Something like that. Okay. We name ABC.
Bo
Yeah.
Zuma
The A1 does very well here. Everyone's going to go crazy. But it doesn't go good in Japan, you know.
Bo
Oh, interesting.
Zuma
You know. And the C1 does very rare in Japan or about not doing good here.
Taylor
This is good information.
Bo
This is. Yeah. This is actually very interesting.
Colin
But like the DB parts.
Zuma
Yeah.
Colin
Through Japanese crowds go crazy for them.
Zuma
Yeah. Like a. You know, like a bit. I mean I'm more like kind of side to side. But I could everywhere, you know. Oh no, this way.
Colin
Side to front to back to.
Bo
I think Zumi, you agreed with me once. I think that the coolest looking thing from stage or push pits is a push pit. It's like a really violent, active push pit. Is the coolest looking thing. Thing.
Zuma
Cuz. Yeah.
Bo
He got 40.
Zuma
Yeah. Like violent push bits is harder than like weak windmill, you know.
Bo
100.
Colin
Yeah, that's true.
Bo
1,000% weak windmill.
Zuma
I'm not going to join push bits at all. But no, as a musician. Yeah.
Bo
It looks good looking awesome. Yeah. I'm glad we agree on that.
Colin
Looks like water.
Bo
Yeah, it looks like boiling water.
Colin
Should I throw to some Patreon questions?
Bo
Yeah, I think so.
Colin
What is each of your biggest. You know what a pet peeve is? What's that pet peeve is like.
Taylor
Like, no.
Bo
Okay. All right. We're getting. We're getting.
Taylor
I have to eat still.
Bo
So, like, a penalty.
Taylor
We're eating.
Bo
No honor.
Sana
It's always no honor.
Colin
He's always farting.
Sana
Yes.
Bo
Oh, no.
Colin
No honor.
Zuma
So what's funny is I don't, like, fart, like, too often like this in Japan. Red naming here.
Bo
Oh, yeah.
Zuma
Because the food is.
Taylor
It's because you eat. Keep eating. Denny's steaks and stuff. That's.
Zuma
Dude. Salmon, Dennis.
Taylor
Oh, my.
Colin
Why would you. The best. Yeah, stop with the bit. The bit's over. You're. You got people out in America going and buying salmon from Denny's.
Taylor
That's crazy.
Colin
It's sick.
Zuma
Do not do Danny. Denny's slander. It's awesome.
Bo
So a pet peeve. Zuma.
Colin
Yeah.
Zuma
What's that?
Bo
It's like, something that annoys you, but it's. It's relatively minor, so it's not like if I'm an asshole or I don't say please or thank you. That's like, oh, that's a bad guy. It would be more like if I'm constantly, like.
Colin
And if I don't like that noise, like, Bo's noises are one of my pet peeves, you would say. Or like, one of my biggest pet peeves is people behind me on an airplane trying to get off before me.
Bo
Yes.
Colin
You know, pet peeve is a specific, small thing that really bothers you.
Bo
Like, a small thing.
Zuma
Okay, okay.
Bo
That maybe we wouldn't universally. Everyone go, oh, yeah, I hate that. It's, like, unique to you.
Colin
Something like that.
Bo
Taylor, do you have an example of one?
Taylor
Not the moment.
Bo
Okay.
Colin
That's crazy.
Taylor
Come back to me.
Bo
Okay.
Taylor
I have.
Bo
Yeah, we all.
Colin
Your life is pet peeves. I don't know what you're talking about.
Taylor
Wait. All right.
Bo
Probably my biggest pet peeve is any public space where someone's watching something on their phone. Full volume. Drives me.
Taylor
I was gonna say people who. People who are, like, in public, on speakerphone.
Colin
You're pointing it at me.
Bo
That's insane.
Colin
You're pointing it at me just far into the chair.
Zuma
Why?
Colin
So it comes up into you, not a vortex at me.
Zuma

Bo
Pirates has two, right? It's got one real one and then like a little fake one. Yeah, the real one. Him and his three girlfriends all, like, screamed and it was funny, whatever, but it was really loud. And then we went down the fake one and he just like, for like five seconds straight into my ear. And I just went, hey, you gotta stop. And he was like. And he apologized to me afterwards.
Zuma
Wow.
Bo
But I told him. I said. I said, hey, that's totally okay. Have fun. Just be mindful of other people. Oh, that's what I said.
Colin

Bo
The sodium soaked up all this spit. Yeah. You got Vast Zuma.

Just us, the showcase and their rumor. Yeah. The room was, like, so packed. You know, people like, great job, you know, to us, you know, because at that time, no bands touring internationally, you know, because that. That was like, right after the pandemic, you know?

Bo
Oh, wow.
Colin
Very cool.
Zuma

Bo
Huh.
Colin
And then George said, how many times do you think that's been played here on that guitar?

Taylor
No. And you're the third person to ask me that.
Bo
Wow.
Colin
That's true.
Bo
Wow. Good question.
Colin
So it's a fair question.
Taylor
Yeah.
Colin
Okay. Can you rank these in order for me? Burger, pasta, pizza, fried chicken.
Zuma
Burger, pasta, pizza, fried chicken.
Colin
What's the best or what's the worst? First?
Taylor
Can I guess?
Bo
Do it.
Taylor
Okay.
Zuma
What's from top to bottom?
Taylor
I think. No, bottom to top, I think fried chicken.
Bo
That's number one.
Taylor
Number one, yeah.
Zuma
Okay.
Taylor
For you.
Colin
Burger.
Zuma
Okay.
Taylor
Pizza.
Zuma
Yeah.
Bo
Pasta.
Taylor
That's what I think.
Colin
I think pizza might be over. Burger.
Taylor
I think noodles. If it was noodles, noodles would win. Pasta.
Bo
Yeah, like pasta.
Colin
Just remember in the tier list, he was so sick of burgers.
Zuma
Pasta in here.
Colin
Yeah.
Zuma
Because I.
Taylor
Not it. Not Asian. Noodles.
Bo
Yeah. It implies, like, Italian.
Zuma
I do like pasta.
Bo
Yeah.
Zuma
But I go. When I get pasta here, it's not. It's always not al dente, you know, that's what I.
Taylor
He might be American.
Colin
He's a young dude. I can't believe you just dropped al dente.
Bo
I think out of those, I think.
Zuma
A hotter noodle, you know?
Colin
Yeah.
Bo
To the tooth is what al dente means. Yeah. Better, but. Right. I think burger is number one for me.
Colin
Really?
Bo
Yeah. Fried chicken's the last.
Colin
Burger is. I like the one that makes me feel the least bad.
Bo
I just, I. I could have a burger every damn day.
Colin
I feel that way about pizza.
Bo
I believe it.
Colin
It's fair.
Taylor
I put. I would put pasta at the top. I eat it the least interesting, but it's because it's terrible. Just the fattest thing you can eat.
Colin
Yeah. This is a great question, Zuma. Are you still a big Celtic Frost fan even after he hated your shirt so much?
Bo
Wait, what's the story here?
Colin
They did a Celtic Frost ripoff shirt and Tom. Tom flipped out.
Bo
Really? He didn't like it.
Taylor
We came to an understanding.
Bo
Okay.
Zuma
Yeah.
Bo
Hey.
Taylor
I get said, hey, it's a rip off. It's.
Colin
It's a tribute.
Bo
Yeah.
Colin
Look at his arm.
Taylor
No one's saying this is cruelty.
Zuma
Astonishing way to show tribute. But he just. He ended up messaging me like, you can keep selling the stuff and you don't have to pay me. And I was like, yeah, of course.
Taylor
Yeah, come and get it.
Zuma
Yeah. You want to grab one? I just can. I just can ship you one.
Taylor
Yeah.
Bo
You know, we had a similar problem that Was that we've figured out with Bolt thrower. Yeah, similar from him. Yeah, yeah, similar. Similar thing. I think it's just I told him.
Taylor
That story when that happened.
Bo
The different generations just don't have the same mindset that we have.
Zuma
Yeah, for sure they didn't.
Taylor
Tom G. Word.
Colin
Never saw the kids like us. Coca Cola. Sure. You don't know that. It's all just. It's fun.
Taylor
Oh, good.
Bo
We're having fun.
Colin
Did you revisit Waffle House on this tour?
Zuma
No. We had a chance one time, but it's kind of out of out of the way. And I'm not a big fan either.
Colin
So I think it's the best of you. You like Denny's steak, and that's like actual garbage. Whereas, like, everything at Waffle House is good.
Zuma
Be nice to Denny's, bro.
Colin
What do you got? What is your thing with the Japanese Denny's was pretty good. I went. That was right next to my hotel in Asakusa. Pretty good.
Zuma
Oh, yeah.
Colin
But I'm not going here.
Zuma
Debar Ramen, bro.
Colin
That's crazy.
Bo
You eat Denny's in Japan often?
Zuma
Maybe once a month or maybe rest pretty often?
Taylor
Month?
Colin
You go with him to Denny's once a month? Oh, my God.
Taylor
I have it once every three years. And then I go. I'm never going there.
Bo
Never eating Denny's ever again. Yeah.
Colin
What about how often? Cuz list.
Zuma
Do not compare. Japanese Denny's and the American one.
Colin
You were doing that? You're saying it's good.
Taylor
You think it's better here?
Zuma
No, just different. Like weight.
Bo
Yeah.
Taylor
Yeah, that makes sense, because you're not.
Zuma
Gonna get steak at Japanese Dennis, right?
Taylor
You might.
Colin
Weirdo.
Taylor
Yeah. This is the fart episode.
Colin
Fart Lore.
Taylor
Steven's dying.
Colin
Sorry, sorry. Me sorry.
Taylor
They're actually. They're doing fine. They don't have to smell it.
Colin
When I was in Japan, every single day, I started my day at 7:11. How often do you eat a meal at 7:11?
Zuma
A meal?
Colin
Like a. Like a little. A nice cilantro box.
Bo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Colin
So good.
Zuma
Like.
Bo
Yeah.
Zuma
Like maybe at least once a week.
Colin
Okay.
Zuma
Yeah, if we. If we can count, like, those only gears, you know?
Colin
Yeah.
Zuma
Maybe more.
Colin
Yeah. Those are incredible.
Taylor
If I had that, I'd be at 7:11 every day.
Colin
That's if. If I had access to the Japanese chicken katsu sandwich from 7 11, I would never wonder what I'm going to eat.
Taylor
Think about this one. The. The. The wiener with the ketchup mustard.
Colin
The wiener.
Taylor
But you know how they have the ketchup, mustard, splits, and they evenly spread it. That's genius.
Colin
You know, the pizza bun.
Zuma
We a genius.
Colin
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know the pizza bun at 7:11.
Zuma
The. You're talking about the hot bun near the red. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Taylor
It's important pizza. Yeah, the pizza.
Colin
So Nikoman here.
Bo
Excuse me.
Zuma
Actually, pizza man for that one.
Colin
Okay.
Zuma
You know.
Colin
Okay. Here.
Bo
The perception is that Japan does everything better.
Colin
Yeah.
Bo
Like, whether it's food or public transportation or the phone cleaner, UV thing that you see, or like the umbrella shaker thing to get all the whatever, just like little public conveniences that make things better. Is there anything that you wish Japan did? Like America or anywhere else?
Zuma
I think in general, like, roads, they're everywhere. Super tiny in Japan, you know, that's my least favorite thing, you know, just tight. Yeah. Like, why, you know, Tokyo might be too late to fix the issue.
Colin
Yeah.
Bo
Pretty even.
Zuma
Yeah. Even in smaller, like, newer cities, like, they still do, like, just one, you know, one way.
Bo
One way.
Zuma
Yeah. Well, the actual car, you know, Aren't.
Taylor
The actual cars in Japan a little smaller? Like, they're. They're more narrow, like.
Zuma
Like a little bit like Toyota Yaris.
Taylor
Yeah.
Zuma
That's something that.
Taylor
Okay.
Zuma
Is the most popular thing in Japan, you know.
Taylor
Okay. So it's made the same. Well, I guess we don't know.
Zuma
Yaris is the same.
Colin
Yeah. Okay.
Zuma
But we don't have a Tacoma, you know. Yeah, we have a pickup, but like a smaller.
Colin
Yeah, I want that.
Taylor
I want the truck.
Bo
The little one is also cool. I love it.
Taylor
Well, have you seen the thing that the truck bed is the same size?
Bo
Yeah. Right.
Taylor
So it's like, you can haul the same amount of shit.
Bo
It's just a smaller vehicle.
Taylor
Give me it.
Colin
Taylor, somebody said I absolutely loved your feature in the new Angel Dust single. How did that first come about? And what was it like working with them?
Taylor
It was cool. Me and justice were playing Fortnite. He's like, yo, I gotta get you scream on a song. I was like, sick. And then I didn't know it was gonna be the thing it became, which was. Is cool.
Colin
A video.
Taylor
I didn't know. Like, we. At the time, I didn't know. And then he was like, we're filming three videos back to back. They shut up. Well, I mean, yeah, there's new shit.
Colin
Yeah. But, yeah, it was not helping.
Bo
Hungry.
Zuma
What if I puke? Are you going to be mad? You got to be mad at me.
Colin
The challenge is over if you puke.
Bo
Oh, yeah.
Zuma
Is it going to be Funnier if you puke. Yeah.
Taylor
Funnier than a fart.
Zuma
For sure. Is funny here or.
Taylor
No, it's gross.
Colin
But it's gross. But I think in this context, it's like nothing better.
Taylor
But if you're going to do it.
Zuma
Yeah.
Taylor
Do it in the bowl.
Colin
Yeah.
Bo
It's disgusting and I can't watch it, but it is funny.
Taylor
I don't want to clean it up.
Colin
How do you feel about puking? Puke, Vomit. Hurl. Spew.
Bo
Ch.
Zuma
No.
Taylor
Like, I think Zuma.
Bo
How many more do you think you got?
Zuma
20.
Bo
You think you have 20 more?
Zuma
I think so.
Colin
I have a headache already. Taylor, what did you think about Colin kicking that guy?
Taylor
I thought it was dope. I. I didn't see it when it happened because I was.
Bo
Neither did the guy.
Taylor
I had tunnel vision to survive.
Bo
Yeah.
Colin
You're so scared. And that's why I was doing it.
Taylor
Yeah.
Colin
I was really just trying to help my brother.
Taylor
It helped, but then you were also like a beacon and I just saw you. But then in that moment, I didn't. And then it was.
Bo
Yeah, there he goes.
Taylor
Feel that?
Bo
What if he has not sodium?
Taylor
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought it was dope.
Colin
How was preparing for that disgrace set? And did you feel like you still were going to vomit while.
Bo
Did you do the thing?
Taylor
I did the thing more than ever.
Colin
It was crazy. Oh, it was incredible.
Bo
Really.
Taylor
I did the thing more than ever because I arrived there early. Got sick. Day two, like flu. Like some. I had like a drip.
Bo
Okay.
Taylor
And it was just choking me. First song, I had to fully turn around. I'm not looking forward to this video because it's gonna sound like obituaries playing.
Colin
You could mix it.
Taylor
The first song, I'm like, skipped lines and had to turn around.
Colin
Really? It was awesome.
Taylor
I was going really hard, but then I. I got. I got a grip of it. But it. Usually it's like first song. It happens. Second song maybe once, and then I'm clear. And then maybe once towards the end. This one was like, everyone a song.
Bo
Yeah. You. There's. There were some videos shared recently of new Disgrace stuff being recorded.
Taylor
Yes.
Bo
How do you feel about that?
Taylor
Good. It's awesome. The best stuff.
Bo
Yeah.
Taylor
By far. Really easily. There's no vocals left and he's got shit stuck in his head.
Bo
Yeah.
Colin
I am the biggest fan. Yeah.
Taylor
But you listen to it twice. Twice. Can't wait to clip this in a year.
Colin

You said after that cruelty's done.
Zuma

Bo
That's kind of the coolest thing.
Taylor
Well, it keeps getting pushed back, so you gotta write another album.
Bo
Once the new Grand Theft Auto is out. Cruelty's on an indefinite.
Zuma
I mean, like, I'm not gonna, you know, call it okay over.
Colin
But maybe you take a break.
Zuma
I'm not gonna tour.
Taylor
GTA 6 and write an album at the same time.
Bo
Because think about. Pause, riff. Idea.
Zuma
That's a good idea.
Bo
Back to the heist. Yeah.
Colin
All right. Here's a good question. When Cruelty first planned to tour the U.S. yeah. What did you expect and did it meet your expectations?
Zuma
So first couple shows in the north east was. Well, like, exactly what I kind of expected.
Bo
Oh.
Zuma
But I actually. So fashion was January 1st, you know.
Colin
Okay.
Zuma
Literally the new Year.
Bo
New year.
Zuma
Japan is big about new Year. If you know it's like a Christmas for you, everyone.
Taylor
But it's not the same day. It's different day.
Zuma
Same, same.
Taylor
It's the same day first.
Colin
Yeah.
Taylor
Okay.
Zuma
China, there's a different day. But yeah, Japan does January 1st and then everybody's stuck at home on January 1st. So. So I didn't expect.
Colin
Good.
Bo
Got you.
Zuma
Yeah. I didn't accept no nuggets. No, I'm not gonna puke. Yeah, I didn't expect that much. Like, welcome.
Colin
Okay.
Zuma
Because if we pray. What's going on? What is going on with my body, dude? I'm scared. Something is happening in my body, bro.
Bo
Jesus.
Zuma
Good job, bro.
Bo
What's going on?
Colin
Okay, take a. Get away. Get away from the whispers. Actually crying. Oh, my God.
Zuma
Voice was crazy. I was texting. So. Yeah. So if we page back on January 1, there would be no one, you know?
Bo
Yeah.
Taylor
Okay, good, good.
Zuma
So that's what I was saying. So I was like. Like overwhelming, you know.
Colin
Okay.
Zuma
But then we had a tent show some down to Fia and then the FIA I was at was amazing.
Bo
Yeah.
Colin
Yeah.
Zuma
I almost cried, you know, really? It's just amazing, you know, Trip. The longest trip across the ocean.
Bo
The world. Yeah.
Zuma
Yeah. And then we. We driving ourselves the suv saying I was sitting in the. In the back, you know.
Colin
Wow.
Zuma
It was kind of tough.
Colin
And is this. Was Taylor already your manager?
Taylor
Kind of soon after that.
Colin
Okay.
Zuma
I think so. Yeah.
Colin
He made sure you never did that again?
Taylor
Sort of.
Zuma
I think so.
Taylor
They've done a few tours in the van, but that's. He's. He's a shopper. He likes to save money.
Colin
I seen him booking hotels. Take some hours.
Taylor
Yeah.
Bo
Taylor, you like being a manager?
Taylor
No.
Bo
Yeah, it seems like one of the worst.
Taylor
But I like to help you do. Yeah, I like to help the bank all the bands I work with.
Zuma
He's not like a manager manager.
Taylor
Yeah, it's different.
Zuma
He's not like, oh, I'm gonna take every single 15.
Bo
No, yeah, of course you.
Taylor
I've probably been paid twice ever.
Zuma
True. What was your. Because I didn't pay.
Bo
This is.
Zuma
On the last.
Taylor
No, this is something being taken from me.
Colin
That is true. What. Taylor, what was your initial reaction to cruelty and when did you discover them?
Taylor
I think it was when you hit. No, you know what? It was actually Xavier coming home from touring with them.
Colin
Really?
Taylor
In Japan.
Zuma
Oh, I just saw the. Yeah, same show with Mama Cara.
Colin
Yeah.
Taylor
He was like, dude, you got to.
Zuma
Check out this band tour, I guess.
Taylor
And then he hit me up maybe six months after that to mix some stuff.
Zuma
Yeah.
Taylor
And then I've been hooked. That's it. That's everything I like. Yeah.
Bo
Yeah.
Colin
So did you for them immediately and then manage them?
Taylor
No. So I mixed.
Colin
Yes.
Taylor
The first lp, mixed a bunch of stuff and then they came here, started managing after that record sometime.
Zuma
And then after the fia we tracked the second LP together.
Taylor
Yeah. Oh, I guess then I did manage before fy. Huh. I don't know. I don't know either way.
Colin
Okay. Do you know know what? Mary Kill is that game. You gotta one. This is ridiculous. Can you rank these? Marshall Mesa Boogie and pv.
Taylor
So the idea is like which one do you hate? Which one do you like? Which one do you love?
Bo
So spend the rest of your life with have for one night Kill.
Zuma
Yeah, I used to. I have been Mesa guy for a long time.
Taylor
Yeah, he's got a big Mesa stack at home.
Colin
He Mesa.
Sana
Yes.
Zuma
I have a Mark 5 and then Rectifier like old one two channel.
Colin
Old one.
Bo
Oh the two. That's the good old Rectifier two and.
Zuma
Then a Mark 5. But I started liking Marshall after.
Bo
Yeah.
Zuma
Doing stuff with him.
Bo
That thing right there.
Zuma
Because I mean all the motions I can get in Japan. Like JCM 900 or.
Colin
You got a JP.
Taylor
No.
Colin
Didn't you?
Taylor
No, that was in.
Colin
There's one in Germany or something.
Taylor
No, it was in Poland and they thought it was a bootleg. It was that one.
Colin
Oh, that's real.
Taylor
Got it fixed up. Yeah.
Bo
Nice.
Zuma
And then 900 is not good. You know.
Taylor
900 is thinner. Yeah, Thinner, but it has more gain.
Zuma
Y. I think it's good for like higher tuning bands.
Bo
Yep.
Taylor
Yeah.
Colin
It's brighter.
Bo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely.
Zuma
But we're not use 900 because 900 is always. Almost always like backline that venue in Japan, you know. So I had a bunch of times to try but I. I always felt like kind of thing.
Colin
Okay.
Zuma
I prefer like. Like it's sounding like a wall. You know the Mesa is kind of that way.
Taylor
It does that.
Colin
Yeah.
Zuma
So I was. I have been a Mesa guy but now I like some specific. My marshals too.
Colin
Like 800 PV at the bottom.
Zuma
PV is kind of like too. I don't know. It's not. It's kind of.
Taylor
It's dark and wolfy.
Zuma
Yeah, it's. It's dark. Yeah. And then can't get, like, unique tone.
Taylor
Yeah. Everybody uses one.
Zuma
Like, even, like, if I do some EQ work, it sounds kind of same, you know?
Colin
Yeah, totally.
Zuma
Like. Yeah. I'm not trying to use what everyone loves, you know?
Colin
Okay, I got you. How did you and Santa meet?
Zuma
That was like a tent 10 years ago.

Zuma
Yeah. To actually talk, you know.

He don't know who the hell I am.
Bo
Glenn doesn't.
Taylor
No.
Bo
Why was.
Taylor
There was a weird. Did I tell the story on here? I don't like. He just, like, trashed a green room and blamed it on us one time.
Bo
Who?
Colin
Crematorium.
Taylor
Yeah. And he was just.
Colin
Ribbon.
Taylor
He was ribbon. But the venue didn't think so.
Bo
Right.
Taylor
And there's a video of it online.
Colin
Yeah.
Taylor
Yeah. But he was just like, threw the. All the shit at us while we're playing. Like he was playing around.
Bo
Yeah.
Taylor
But then somehow none of the venue people saw that, and then it just blamed it on us when the show was over. Or he tried to blame it.
Bo
Yes.
Taylor
I. Good. R. Was. Wasn't that big of a. Glenn.
Colin
Yeah.
Bo
Zuma. How we doing?

Zuma
Cool.
Colin
Yeah, totally. Taylor, what's the angriest you've ever been at? Me.
Taylor
I yell at him once a week.
Colin
But I can tell you one that I still feel bad about.
Taylor
It's probably the same one.
Colin
Was it at the Quesadilla Factory on the first tour we ever did? Oh, is it the van with the creatures?
Taylor
Yes. That's what I was.
Colin
That was. That was a bad one.
Taylor
I'll tell that story.
Colin
I don't remember the context.
Taylor
This is I gen 1 iPhone. Yeah. We both had it with the silver.
Bo
And the black and.
Taylor
And I think it was the first version that had a map on it.
Zuma
3G.
Bo
3G.
Taylor
And we were trying to find something. We're on torque. So this is like. Oh, like what?
Bo
Yeah.
Taylor
And I'm trying to explain to him. He's getting frustrated with the phone. I'm trying to explain to something or to him. And then I show him my phone to say, look, you just do it like this. And he smacks it out of my hand.
Colin
Oh, man. That was a mistake.
Taylor
Without even thinking about it, I just went.
Colin
But I have no memory of that.
Taylor
But he. He got mad at. Even more mad. Jumped over the seat and it's like, backwards. Yeah, jump, Kyle. And backwards.
Colin
It was not good. I went like. I went to, like, back, like, windmill him. And he just went like.
Taylor
No, He. He literally dove. Dove into a headlock.
Zuma
Yeah.
Taylor
And I was like, you got to stop. You got to stop. And the van's full, and I barely.
Colin
Know them every Kyle. Or like, any. Or any.
Taylor
And then we pull. We pull over and we go to Taco Bell. And I'm bummed about it. He's bummed about it. And he's like. He goes, brothers shouldn't hit each other, man.
Colin
And then I felt.
Taylor
I. I felt bad and took him to Taco Bell and the bottom. Taco Bell?
Colin
Yeah. But I got me a $2 meal deal from taco Bell.
Taylor
No, you ate good.
Colin
Rightfully so. I didn't remember the context, but I do remember that. But I. There was another time. Where? At the Quesadilla factory in.
Taylor
I don't see. I don't recall.
Colin
I think it was in Centralia, Washington.
Taylor
Is.
Colin
It was the case. If you're watching. If you're in someone.
Taylor
When we played in the Quesadilla.
Colin
We played the Quesadilla factory. You. There was a bunch of cash and you were giving me a bunch of grief about this merch money. Do you remember this?
Taylor
No.
Colin
I don't know why I did it, but I. You were pissing me off for some reason. I think you were being mean.
Taylor
The same tour?
Colin
No, this was different. This was Soul Search minus tour.
Taylor
Okay, okay.
Colin
And there was all this cash and I just threw. Was like. Cuz he was like, I don't know why, but he was asking me for it. And we were frustrated with each other about something else. And I just like, wow. And he was so mad at me.
Taylor
52 pickup.
Colin
There's 52 pickup with like hundred of dollar of merch money.
Taylor
Yeah, it was probably one.
Colin
It was probably legit.
Taylor
Like bucks.
Colin
Yeah, but that was the merch night.
Bo
Yeah. Yeah.
Taylor
So I wasn't been that mad because I don't remember that at all.
Colin
Yeah, that was okay. That's because that one. I was immediately like, how you doing, Zuma?
Taylor
I'm still eating.
Colin
You know that you remember when you said. You said once upon a time that the Midwest has no honor.
Zuma
Cuz they have no honor.
Colin
Do you.
Taylor
What are you referring to when you say the Midwest?
Colin
Do you still feel that way?
Bo
Thank you.
Zuma
Like, yeah, I think so.
Taylor
Like middle of nowhere Midwest.
Zuma
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some.
Taylor
Some not Chicago.
Colin
But the people that are the people.
Zuma
That are at the show. Ohio, small town.
Colin
But when you get to the show though, the people that go to your shows, they have honor.
Zuma
I mean, they do, yeah. They love what I said, you know?
Colin
Yeah, yeah.
Zuma
They often come up to me like, yo, we have no honor. How you think? I was like, yeah, you don't.
Taylor
So they're living the bit.
Colin
Yeah, that's good. Do you think Midwest has honor?
Zuma
Kentucky.
Colin
Good? Yeah, Louisville is beautiful.
Bo
I like Mobile and that is certifiable Midwest.
Colin
Yeah, big time. All right, let's get some other questions going here.

Zuma, do you think your Jeopardy Buzzer was rigged?
Zuma
That was tricked. Like you cheated.
Bo
Do you know what it was? I actually figured this out. So brain dead. Very grateful for obviously having us and being a good venue and being so cool. They have a 5.5G modem with an extender in the hallway. How many connections are on that at once? Because we had my iPad and their three controllers, as was my phone. My phone, your phone, everyone's phones on this fucking W. That was the delay. Cuz I. I tested it again when I got back to the hotel, which also isn't great. And it was instant.
Taylor
Just got to do like a hotel buzz. Like a.
Bo
No, I. I got a plan.
Zuma
She was just like raising hands kind of thing.

I saw a Start today at the Turnstile show and they killed. They killed it and Alec Mosh really hard.
Colin
Yeah, see, that's what it's all about. Brand new bands that not a lot of people know about.
Taylor
Brand new, is it?
Colin
Oh, it just says new bands but not a lot of people know about. That's the part I want to.
Taylor
I got one that Dave Witty turned me on to, which is. They're called Aranci Pazuzu.
Colin
That sounds awesome. It's like two demons.
Taylor
It's.
Bo
Yeah, it's weird.
Taylor
Black metal from Finland. Pretty sick.
Colin
Oh, cold. Aside from Finland, one of my favorite European hardcore bands of all time. Nobody knows. Cold inside and there's like. It's like blues scale. He occasionally sings and he has an incredible voice. But overall it's just like really interesting. New York hardcore type. Amazing band.
Bo
I got into this ambient artist that I had to look up because the name is 703-863-435-7867. The record is called NEO7. It's just really nice, pleasant, kind of soundscapey stuff.

Colin
No, it won't. If I already said he knows. If you get this, it's mine. Nice new bands that nobody knows about that you really like.
Zuma
I'm trying to think, but like, I'm not sure.
Bo
Do you listen to stuff other than heavy music?
Zuma
Zuma? Not really. I only like Japanese pop stuff.
Colin
Oh, you do?
Zuma
I do. But old one, you know.
Bo
Sure.
Zuma
Classic. Not like new stuff, you know, I'm so. I'm mostly. I'm not good at keeping up with newer music. Maybe heavy music. I'm. I'm listening.
Bo
What's like an old school Japanese pop artist that you like?
Zuma
You know her?
Bo
I feel like I've absolutely heard that.
Colin

Colin
Do you have Taylor? Do you have a favorite? This is a crazy question. Favorite record you've ever produced, Worked on. And why can't be one of your most important.
Bo
Can't be one of your own most important.
Colin
Like some. Yeah, the one that you look back and go like that. That changed Things can't be one of your own. I. Other than. And you've said this about rotting out. Street prowl.
Taylor
That's. That's. That was a pivotal one. I'm gonna do the one after that, which is gonna be surprising. The second down presser record Goodbye, the Long Goodbye.
Zuma
Is that a Bracken White?
Colin
No, that's the first one.
Taylor
That's the first one.
Bo
The one with the head.
Taylor
It's. No, it's like a guy walking away. It's a Sean Tag.
Bo
Oh, yeah.
Taylor
That there was like. It wasn't because of anything other than, like, while I was doing the record.
Colin
I like.
Taylor
It was one of the times where I felt like I knew what I was doing for the first time.
Colin
Interesting.
Taylor
Ten years into this.
Bo
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Taylor
But it was like a. Oh. Like I'm. I'm. I'm confident and I really. I like. I look, I listen to that record and I just love it.
Colin
Yeah. I agree.
Bo
Whoa.
Taylor
I love the way it sounds. And now it's, like, special because of KLB and stuff. So. Yeah. Like, I remember in. In the middle of that record being like, this thing is incredible.
Bo
Wow.
Colin
And then Covid. Kind of.
Taylor
And then co. It came out right when co hit it and just kind of beautiful. Sat back a little bit.
Bo
Love.
Colin
Yeah. Isn't that the best?
Bo
That's good.
Zuma
Can I ask something to you?
Colin
Please, please, please.
Zuma
What's your Colin Bow? What's your favorite record? Mixed by him.
Bo
O.
Zuma
Maybe. Yeah. Mix unrecorded or just mixed?
Colin

Taylor
Guess what is it?
Zuma

Taylor
Yeah.
Zuma
That's my favorite.
Bo
Which one?
Taylor
Skin Father lp None Will Mourn.
Colin
Yeah, that one's called Mixed by Him. Or like a complete Taylor Young.
Zuma
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This. He has to be mixed by him.
Bo
Like my favorite or the one that I think is his best work. Do you know your favorite? My favorite is In Love There is no Law.
Taylor
Okay.
Bo
Like that. And. And the. The Preacher man single.
Taylor
What do you think about the remix?
Colin
I love the remix.
Bo
I. I love the remix.
Taylor
I mean, maybe you haven't popped it on as much.
Bo
I haven't popped it on as much or since, you know, you first did it.
Taylor
I tried to keep it pretty close.
Bo
Yeah. I would say it's pretty close. Nothing stands out. But. But.
Taylor
But I just remember to me that are like, oh, I fixed that.
Bo
Gotcha. That makes sense.
Taylor
Yeah.
Bo
When. When I heard the Preacher Man. I've said this a billion times, but when I. When the first single happened, I saw you guys play. This is Hardcore early in the day, 2012. And I was like, I'm going to check that out. And because I had heard Sleep Therapy, I'd heard the other stuff. It didn't click. The way it was presented clicked. And that was a pivotal thing for, like, our friendships as well. Because I was like, oh, I get these guys.
Taylor
I do remember being on tour in Europe the first time and playing Sleep therapy and then everybody in Harmsway going on.
Colin
We did cool, man.
Taylor
Yeah.
Bo
It didn't.
Colin
It really just.
Taylor
Just didn't connect well.
Colin
Of course it's happening to this day.
Taylor
We got a lot better right after that. We did, yeah.
Colin
Objectively. This is a tough one.
Bo
That's a tough one.
Zuma
It's not easy to understand them all.
Colin
No, I agree.
Taylor
Heard them all at the worst and.
Colin
Best and the worst and best they've ever sounded.
Zuma
What was the, Like a remix of this harmony like you put out after. During Pandemic?
Taylor
Oh, the demo version.
Zuma
The zero some. Yeah. That's good mix to me.
Colin
I agree.
Zuma
Like a heavier, you know.
Taylor
Yeah.
Colin
And that's what the original one is like.
Zuma
Clear.
Taylor
But yeah, we felt that way too. And that's why we put it out after. Even though the vocals are new.
Colin
We've talked about that.
Taylor
Yeah.
Colin
My favorite record he's ever produced.
Taylor
This is hard for me. It's tough because, like, say nice things.
Colin
Because Love there's no Law is probably my answer as well. Like, I, I, I felt like that was the first time I listened to something that I sang on and was like, okay, this is good.
Bo
Yeah.
Colin
You know, you can hear absolutely everything. Like, it's very. The clarity is insane while still being hard.
Taylor
I love the remix.
Colin
I love the remix.
Bo
I need to revisit.
Colin
It's. I love the remix.
Taylor
I want to know your thoughts later.
Bo
Yeah, I need to revisit. I for sure. Listen to it when you put it out.
Colin
Yeah. You know, but something that I'm not in is a good. Is a good. What do I not. I mean, Songs of Suffering is. That's your favorite all time. It's. I mean, I love the music and that helps make it my years old. Just think about some stuff you've done recently. Oh, dude. A re the rj. The first RJC lp. I really like Crime and Punishment. Yeah. Crime and Punishment sounds.
Zuma
Oh, yeah.
Colin
The full of hell record you mix sounds insane.
Taylor
I like that one a lot.
Bo
Oh, I also really like Life under the Gun.
Taylor
Didn't mix that.
Colin
You produced it.
Bo
Produced it.
Colin
Yeah.
Bo
Great. Like it a lot.
Taylor
Love it too.
Bo
That would be a. More my most recent answer. I think.
Colin
New Age of Apocalypse sounds really good.
Zuma
Oh, hell yeah.
Colin
Royalty record sounds amazing.
Taylor
I think that. That the newest EP is one of the best sounding things.
Bo
It is. And it. It befits the band to the degree.
Taylor
Where we fought about it a little bit.
Bo
How so?
Taylor
Where he was like, can you do this to the mix? And I was like, no, I cannot. Just a little.
Zuma
He's a producer guy.
Taylor
Just a little bit where it was like, listen, this sounds so good.
Colin
Don't touch it. Yeah. Okay, let's see what we got here.
Bo
Six and a half.
Zuma
He was like, I'm gonna cry. Do something what I want. He was like, trust me.
Taylor
Trust me.
Zuma
I was like, okay. And then.
Taylor
But later I'll let you do whatever you want.
Zuma
Did I. Did I tell you about someone hit me up for the mastering or. No.
Taylor
For that record?
Zuma
Yeah.
Taylor
Oh, really?
Zuma
So some guy from. I'm not gonna say name. More like. I don't remember the name.
Bo
About a.
Zuma
Some guy from, like, somewhere in Europe.
Taylor
He sent a cold message about. About mastering.
Colin
Said. He said, hey, I really like this record, but I think the master is bad. Here's.
Zuma
I can do better. Blah, blah, blah.
Taylor
Yeah.
Colin
The. Said mastered the Persona 5 Royal soundtrack. So he's a mastering God.
Taylor
Yeah.
Zuma
Yeah. So. And then he provided me the sample master. So it's like a master or master kind of thing?
Taylor
Yeah.
Zuma
And listen to it. It's sounding big. Honestly, loud. It's loud, but it's sounding like. Like Death Corps. Yeah, the different way of, like, loud.
Colin
You know, blown out.
Zuma
Just like a yes.
Bo
Yeah.
Zuma
In the signal might be like just. Yeah, no. Like, dynamics. Yeah. So I said no.
Taylor
Of course, when we first started, we. There was a dude who did, like, Megadeth and Green Day Records who, like, sent us a mix, basically. He, like, said, let me try this. And then I. Dude, I look back.
Colin
At that and I think. I think sounded pretty sick listening to it now.
Taylor
Unmastered. It sounded pretty good, but it was like, so not what we wanted at the time.
Colin
At the time, it was like, oh, you don't get it.
Bo
Yeah, right.
Colin
And we said, okay, loser. We sent him. We sent him a folder that had three songs in it. And we said, do either this song or this song. And he did the one we didn't.
Taylor
Say did the worst one. He did, like, voluntary confinement. Like the song that we didn't care about at all.
Bo
Yeah.
Taylor
And it was like, okay. I didn't even want to hear that. Yeah.
Colin
If we were in a Zombie apocalypse. And we have to pick one person to try and fight off the zombies and survive with. Who would it be? You have to pick Zaina. Okay.
Zuma
Yeah.
Colin
Yeah, for sure.
Taylor
To fight off zombies.
Colin
Yes.
Bo
But. But he needs to say he needs to. Yeah, but does that doesn't necessarily imply she's dead.
Colin
If I guess you guys can. You're both alive and you can both pick one person to. Who do you think in Japan is going to help you fight off the zombie apocalypse?
Zuma
Help me?
Colin
Yeah.
Zuma
Manny is going to not help me for sure. He's going to get. He's going to get away. Five minutes. Five seconds. Going to ramen shops and before he dies.
Colin
One more.
Zuma
Just one more ball, you know.
Colin
Yeah.
Zuma
I don't know.
Colin
Who would you pick? Santa. Okay. Yeah. That's fair.
Zuma
Bunch of people owe me in Japan, you know. Not like a financial. You know.
Colin
Yeah.
Zuma
Like things, you know.
Colin
Okay.
Zuma
So I think some. I hope someone will help me.
Colin
Okay.
Taylor
Maybe not the least they could do.
Bo
I think I would pick like Bear Grylls or something.
Colin
Oh no. It says from Hardcore World.
Bo
Yeah, I saw him at his.
Colin
Yeah. To try. Specifically to try and fight off zombies and survive with. I would pick Alec Faber for sure.
Bo
Jared Carmen.
Colin
Oh, Survivor dude 101.
Taylor
I mean besides Kyla, who's pretty good at Fortnite.
Colin
No, that's what I'm saying. Like if I get Lana, I get. I get access to. To the family arsenal.
Taylor
Okay.
Bo
Okay.
Taylor
Okay. Yeah, that's good.
Colin
So we're good. I'm taking Lana and I'm taking Alec because.
Taylor
Well, I'm coming then.
Colin
Yeah, that's who I would.
Taylor
I would go with. I would actually know I would. If you have Alec. I'll meet you there with Mike.
Colin
Oh, dude.
Bo
We're good to go.
Colin
Yeah, we're fine to go. We're literally never. I. We're reluctantly never.
Taylor
And we know Mike would never eat us.
Colin
That's true.
Taylor
He's vegan.
Colin
That's true.
Bo
Zombie apocalypse.
Colin
I think so.
Taylor
Yeah.
Colin
I think. I think. I think at the very least Brady would absolutely still be vegan.
Taylor
I think they would rather cook up a sunflower than.
Colin
And you know damn well he could make it work.
Taylor
Yeah.
Zuma
Didn't even think about zombie can be vegan too.
Colin
Yeah. Yeah.
Bo
Imagine a zombie. A vegan zombie's first bite of meat is a human.
Colin
It would hit crazy.
Zuma
They're gonna look for tofu grocery store.
Bo
I don't think so.
Colin
I think you're right.
Zuma
Just eating grass was funny.
Colin
How is. This is a really good question. How is hardcore culture perceived by the public in Japan is how we stay.
Taylor
Away from like, do they think you're freaks? Do regular salary man think you're freak?
Colin
Regular people in Japan, do they look at you and think like, oh, you are.
Zuma
Yeah, no honor. How's it going?
Bo
So like it's very. Everything here with normal people is very like, oh, whatever, you know, normal people.
Colin
Want to be not normal so bad.
Bo
Yes.
Taylor
It depends where you are though. If you're in California, you could walk on your hands and you still be normal. But like, if you're in middle of the country, you might run into some.
Bo
Trouble, you might stick out. But. But I still don't think like, you'll still see like the server at Chili's will have like a sleeve and you know what I'm saying?
Colin
Especially the server, you know what I mean?
Bo
So it's still like housing in a.
Taylor
Pink on the way home, you know?
Colin
Zero track.
Bo
Zero. Zero.
Taylor
Yeah.
Zuma
Yeah.
Colin
How about you?
Zuma
I think so. People here always like mind your business, you know, do not care about like strangers, you know, they do their things, we do our things. But people in Japan in general like trying to cut in what someone's do so much, you know, like.
Taylor
So you have people bother you.
Zuma
I think so. Yeah.
Bo
Really?
Taylor
About your tattoos and stuff?
Zuma
Not openly, but like they always do say stuff online. Shit. You know, there's a lash show and it's so loud. Loud. I'm gonna call cops. Oh, you know, they. People basically kind of impatient, you know.
Colin
Okay.
Zuma
Overall over what people doing.
Colin
Yeah, yeah, like something like saying that you have tattoos. How is your experience in. In like regular society in Japan as a rocker tatted up woman?
Sana
I think so.
Colin
Okay.
Zuma
Okay.
Sana
I think so.
Taylor
Because nobody bothers her.
Colin
Okay.
Zuma
So in public nothing will happen. You know, it's just always online stuff, I guess.
Bo
Okay.
Colin
You know, you'll look and you'll think like, oh, they're probably judging me.
Taylor
But old ladies in the neighborhood? Yeah, just like next door up here.
Zuma
Emma, you know, like open to talk with anyone kind of guy. So. So my. Our neighbor is like old, like a married couple, you know, but we cheating.
Colin
You know, they like you not.
Zuma
Not sure like what they think inside, but like at least they do well to us, you know, and then we try not be well to them.
Sana
Yes.
Colin
Okay.
Bo
So how are you feeling here, Zuma?
Zuma
Yeah.
Bo
You've been holding that 68th nugget for about eight minutes.
Zuma
For like three minutes. Yeah, I'm holding like this cena.
Colin

Taylor
It might also just be metric.
Colin
It could be metric.
Taylor

Colin
I'm actually a 300 watt twin rear.
Bo
I mean that will be louder than any other amp in here.
Colin
That's crazy.
Taylor
It's brutal.
Bo
It's crazy.
Taylor

Colin
What's your favorite amp? That's not a Marshall. Because I know the JMP is the best amp ever.
Taylor
I like. I like the heavy metal. I don't know if this is on camera. I like the heavy metal warfare a lot.
Bo
Chicago Dean Costello amplification.
Taylor
But I also like the Mesa DC 10, which is a.
Colin
The Brad Boat. Right.
Taylor
Special.
Zuma
So that's 100 watt one.
Taylor
Yeah. Yeah, they're dope.
Colin
What's your favorite amp?
Bo
100 watts. Not 100 nuggets.
Taylor
Yeah.
Zuma
Because the DC5 is popular in Japan.
Taylor
Yeah. It's easy to do. Yeah.
Zuma
Yeah.
Taylor

Zuma
You can have him joking. I'm not gonna eat nuggets for the next three months.

Bo
Right. It's started to get going. Yeah.
Colin
That I say. Fuck you.
Taylor
I disagree. I believe you can go and just have your own shows that are small and get one where you're worth that.
