PZO: As a band what do you think your best qualities are?
Jon: I smell good.
Marc: I think we know each others styles real well. So we can come up with some cool stuff.
Trevor: We make up some pretty catchy stuff just naturally. That’s probably one of our best qualities.
Marc: We’re ruthlessly mean.
Jon: We’re ruthless. That’s all I have to say.
Marc: Ruthlessly mean. That’s the best quote of the day.
Trevor: Stay in school.
Marc: There you go.

PZO: Is there a decision you hope you never have to make as band?
Jon: Sex change.
Trevor: To kill each other.
Marc: No, I’d kill you.
Trevor: Yeah, you all probably would. You remember that eat thing?
Marc: We’d eat Trevor.
Jon: If we were stranded on an island, we’d eat Trevor first.
Marc: Yeah.
Jon: That’s what we’ve decided so far.
PZO_Friend: ‘Cause Trevor is full of meat.
Marc: Exactly.
Trevor: It’s not fair, man.
Jon: He has thighs like thoroughbreds.
PZO: Thunder thighs.
Trevor: Hey!
<laughter>

PZO: What is your favorite line from a movie?
Trevor: I don’t know if I can say it. Just watch the whole movie Blazing Saddles you’ll get like a hundred.
<They talk about the movie Rob Roy>
Trevor: I think we’re just talking amongst ourselves.
<laughter>
Marc: If I remember one, I’ll tell you.
Jon: I don’t think I have any very good quotes. I’m looking for an inspirational one.
Trevor: Go see 25th Hour. There’s a good scene in there. It’s an independent movie by Spike Jones.
PZO_Friend: Spike Lee.
Trevor: Spike Lee, whatever.
<laughter>
PZO: His movies are good. So basically any movie off of IFC?
All: Yeah.
Jon: I didn’t hear what she said.
PZO: IFC.
Jon: Oh, IFC, definitely.
PZO: Do you know what it stands for?
Trevor: What’s IFC?
Marc: Independent Film…
PZO: Channel.
Trevor: Oh.
Jon: I was way off.
Trevor: Have you seen Bowling for Columbine?
PZO: No, but I’ve heard it’s really good.
Trevor: It’s SO good.
Jon: Who’s interviewing who?
Trevor: I don’t know. I was just asking.

PZO: If you were to be reincarnated, what would you be reincarnated as?
Trevor: A snail.
All: Yeah!
Trevor: They have a cool house on their back.
Marc: I’d be a bird.
Jon: A caterpillar is better ‘cause you get the best of both worlds. Then you can change.
Marc: To a butterfly? <rolls eyes>
Jon: Don’t they have a sex change. ‘Cause aren’t they like a male before that? That’d be sick. You’d live half your life a male then change it up and bone your own species. I mean, sex.
Trevor: Or a worm. You can have sex with yourself.
<laughter>
Jon: There you go.
Trevor: Wait we already do that anyways.
<laughter>
Marc: Frogs can change their sex to adapt to their surroundings.
Jon: If there are a bunch of females, they can become a male.
Marc: That’d be awesome. We’d hook up for sure.
Jon: If you were a guy and could change into a girl and be with a guy, that’d be sick. Not that I’m gay or anything. <shifts eyes>
<laughter>
Trevor: Are you getting anything to work with here?
PZO: We don’t actually grab bits and pieces. We write the whole interview straight out. Nothing edited.
Trevor: Oh man.
Jon: That’s awesome.
Trevor: We’re screwed.
Marc: You’re going to type all of this?
PZO: Yes.
Trevor: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Jon: Jon’s penis is 10 inches long!
Marc: Mine is 3 inches…from the ground!
Jon: OOOOHHH!

PZO: What is on thing you would never do no matter how much money you were offered?
Jon: I’d pretty much do everything.
<laughter>
Trevor: I probably wouldn’t eat blue cheese if it smells like it tastes. I mean if it tastes like it smells.
PZO: My brother eats fish with milk.
Marc: That is getting sick.
PZO: He pours the milk on the fish.
Jon: Like cereal?
PZO: Yes.
Trevor: Is it dead?
PZO: Yes.
<sushi discussions occurs>

PZO: Give the opportunity, who would you kidnap for a day?
Trevor: Ali Landry, she’s so hot.
Marc: I’d kidnap Brad Pitt.
Jon: Guess how many girls you could get if you were with him.
Trevor: Yeah! It’s like having a cute dog.
<laughter>
PZO: Brad Pitt isn’t even good looking anymore.
Trevor: Are you kidding me?
Marc: Yeah, he is. I saw him last week.
Trevor: Man, I would turn gay for that guy. Wait, I didn’t say that. Don’t type that! PLEASE!
Marc: He’d turn gay for Brad Pitt. That’s what Trevor said. Trevor quote on quote would turn gay for Brad Pitt.
<laughter>
Marc: I have a non-sexual crush on Brad Pitt.
Jon: He is a very fine looking man.

PZO: What band do you think should call it quits?
Trevor: Sugar Ray….just kidding!
Marc: Trevor is a wussy and is afraid to say anything on camera.
Trevor: Yeah, Sugar Ray.
Marc: Call it quits, homies. You guys are done.
Jon: Smash Mouth. Who likes Smash Mouth? They don’t like themselves probably.
<laughter>
Trevor: Smash Mouth is way worse.
PZO_Friend: You can plan on the next record being good though. That’s what I heard.
Trevor: You think so?
PZO_Friend: The guitarist and the songwriter…<hesitates to continue>
<Every one encourages him to go on>
PZO_Friend: The guitarist and the songwriter used to play in a lot of club bands back in San Jose. I’m up from San Jose and they were in a bunch of good bands and they were saying we’re tired of being pop crap.
Jon: We’ll see.
Marc: They should all fall off a bridge.
Jon: Jeez, don’t kill them.
Trevor: I know, man.
Marc: I didn’t say without a bungee cord. You didn’t let me finish.
<laughter>

PZO: What is something mean you’ve always wanted to do, but never had the guts to do it?
Jon: Punch Marc in the face.
Marc: I want to cut someone’s face.
Trevor: Poop on Marc’s head.
Marc: Cut Jordan’s wiener off.
Jon: and suck it.
Jordan: What?!? I want to drop a piano on a person’s head like in the cartoons.
Jon: Yeah!

PZO: Have you ever done anything to each other while the other was sleeping or passed out?
All: Ooohhh.
Trevor: Let’s not talk about that one.
Marc: Yeah, next question.
<laughter>
Jon: We always rub each others…..
Trevor: Tea bag.
Marc: Sharpies and shaving cream.
Trevor: We don’t rub each other you sicko! At least I don’t know when I’m sleeping. Maybe I sleep hard.
Jon: We cuddle.
Trevor: No, okay. When you’re in a band you get stuck in awkward places where you have to sleep in a 10 foot space, so your only option is to spoon.
Marc: <laughs>
Trevor: But that’s okay. We’re okay with that.
Jon: Spooning naked is the best.
Marc: Any bands who say they do otherwise are a bunch of liars.
Jon: Yeah, they’re all gay like me.
<laughter>
Jon: I really do have a girlfriend if that helps my case.
PZO: As a cover up?
Trevor: Ohh..
Jon: A little bit..

PZO: What’s your best caught in the act story?
Marc: I got caught masturbating by my father. I got caught whacking off by my pops.
Trevor: OH! Listen to Jon. Okay, if you guys know anything about internet porn when you look up internet porn like 800 things come up and you can’t close them. So he’s in a room and the door is locked and his mom is like, “Jon!” and he’s like, “Oh, Shit” and he closes it and like 20 more things pop up--
Jon: We were at my grandma’s house, dude.
Trevor: and she’s like, “Jon, what are you doing?” and he’s like sitting there trying to figure out what to do and he turns it off and his mom comes in and she feels the computer and she’s all, “Why is this warm?” and he’s all, “I don’t know.”
PZO_Friend_2: That sounds familiar.
All: OOOHHH!
<laughter>
Trevor: It happens to the best of us.
Marc: I’ve never been caught doing anything else, but masturbating. Oh my gosh, I was actually having sex with my girlfriend about a week ago.
Trevor: Oh My God! Shut up!
Marc: Shut up, you dumb fuck. My mom walked in and she could hear us. Not like that’s any worse getting caught masturbating. It was pretty embarrassing though.

PZO: What’s your favorite curse word?
Marc: Fuck.
Jordan: Dang.
Trevor: Darn it.
Marc: Fuck.
Trevor: Gee wiz.
Marc: Fuck.
Trevor: If you go to any one of our concerts you’ll know that Marc’s favorite word is fuck. He uses it more than ‘and’ and ‘the’.
Marc: I don’t use it a lot. I’ve heard some bands use it too much.
Jon: I think everyone says fuck.
Marc: Everyone becomes sailor mouths.

PZO: What is your best flirting tactic?
Jon: Getting naked.
Trevor: Naked.
Trevor: Jon and I get naked together.
Marc: He puts mustard on himself.
Trevor: No, it was a dairy.
Jon: Truth or dare is always a good one. You can get girls naked fast.
Trevor: Don’t play with us whatever you do. You’ll be screwed.
Jon: Extreme truth or dare.
Trevor: We force things..
Jon: <laughs> We force things. Get naked!
Trevor: You have to follow the rules. Every girl hates Jon ‘cause he makes them do something they don’t want to. It’s funny.
Marc: He’s not that bad.
Trevor: No, we don’t play like porn truth or dare.

PZO: What kinds of thoughts keep you awake at night?
Trevor: Uh, naked girls.
Marc: The thought of trying to get to sleep.
All: Yeah!
Marc: You’re like I gotta go to sleep, I gotta go to sleep.
Jon: World peace.
<laughter>
Jon: I swear.

PZO: What is your favorite infomercial?
Marc: Nair.
Jordan: The juicer.
Trevor: Yeah, the juicer.
Marc: I’m sticking with Nair.

PZO: Have you ever been arrested or detained by law enforcement officials?
Trevor: Jon was!
Jon: I was arrested once for doing nothing, for talking on my cell phone. They said I was drunk driving. Hence the name drunk driving under the influence.
Jordan: You were drunk and under the influence at the same time? <laughs>
Trevor: You’re crazy, asshole.

PZO: If you were a statue, what would be your pose?
Trevor: Bending over.
Jon: Spread eagle.
Jordan: I’d do a jumping jack.
PZO_Video_Camera_friend: Demonstrate. Do your pose.
Jon: Girls do spreading eagle. What do I look like?
Trevor: You have to get caught in the moment.

PZO: What is a question you would like to be asked in an interview?
Jon: What’s your favorite sexual position.
Trevor: Yeah, that’s a good one.
Jon: No one has asked that.
Trevor: The gardener.
Jon: Yeah, that’s a good one.
Trevor: Where you bought that thing for 50 cents in New York. Kama Sutra.
Jon: Kama Sutra!
Trevor: The gardener, where she’s on her hands like a wheelbarrow.
Jon: Yeah, and they call it the gardener.
Jordan: I used to do that for my brother.
All: OOOHHHHH!!! That’s sick.
Trevor: I used to do that to my cat, dude.
All: OOHHHHHH!!!
Marc: I was drunk and I jizzed on a cat.
<laughter>
Marc: This is the best interview ever!
PZO_Friend: That’s a great behind the music reenactment.
Trevor: This interview is going to come back and rape us in the morning.
Jon: Only half of it is true.
Marc: We lie about everything.

PZO: What is a question you’re tired of being asked in interviews?
All: “How’d you get your name?”
PZO: Yep, why didn’t they just read it.
Marc: Yes, smart cookie. Why didn’t they just read it.
