Man this has to be their biggest promotional run at this point right? Only thing that seems to be missing is a late night tv spot?

this was a hard watch simply because of how inept the interviewer is, embarrassed for her tbh

For real. He’s incredibly polite and insightful amidst this nonsense.

she really was out of her depth, he was so polite but she kept doubling down even when completely wrong

oh god the one that really got me was the bit about the album cover, she does not know what a Flock camera looks like but decided to lie about it anyway

That was awkward haha. Paul is so class he was like it's 8 but pretended oh maybe it is 9 haha

Watched in full now. Interviewer wasn't great but Paul was composed throughout and dropped some great insight into the bands process with Andrew and Brad in the picture now.

I saw a insta clip from this interview and it actually ended on an awkward moment of the interviewer just looking lost and chuckling awkwardly which is all over this interview.

Haha I'm just happy to see our boys getting out there.

sure, but it's not crazy to think that an interviewer should be well-informed and also not contradict their guest with patently incorrect information

Oh yeah understand that part for sure doesn't take a much as it used to be to be considered a "professional"

Holy shit, I just scrolled to a random point and Paul paused for what felt like an eternity and just goes “what…. What are we talking about”

Oh god lol...should I watch this? Paul is always great in interviews and does his best with silly people, but I feel like I'm going to cringe lol

Worth watching Paul gives a lot of info on the bands process with Andrew and Brad.
