Try to get through the 13 strangest things about you. All right, here we go. One, strangest guilty pleasure.
I feel like I don't have any guilty pleasures.
Come on, Dylan.
I'll gladly tell you my pleasures.
I like that. Okay, we'll let you pass with that. That's a good one. That's a good one. Okay. Strangest compliment you've ever received?
This, this woman came up and and was like, listen, my, my, my daughter's, my kids love you in and in Percy Jackson. I was like, that's, that's, that's not me. I'm that's another show. And then but then she goes, oh, it's okay, I love Don't Breathe. And I was like, I got I I got so confused. I was like, so wait, I'm both people or we're the same? Like she knew, even though she said it was great in Percy Jackson. She knew that it wasn't me. It was it's a weird moment.
Wait, that was really weird. Strangest pickup line you've ever used.
I've never given a pickup line. I'm not that kind of guy.
Maybe you're just so naturally cool, you kind of just sit back and then
I've never, no, I just, I'm not I I I would never have the guts to go use a pickup line.
So strangest food you've ever eaten?
And I feel like garlic cloves are not a problem for people, but one time I ate a garlic clove whole without knowing it was a garlic clove.
Oh no.
I had to go to the bathroom for a while.
Strangest place you've ever fallen asleep?
Disneyland.
How do you fall asleep at Disneyland?
I was sitting on a bench and I fell asleep and my friends were on a ride and I was just asleep on a bench.
Strangest thing you've ever binge-watched?
I've binge 13 Reasons Why.
So did I. Strangest fashion trend that you've ever taken part in?
When I was uh like 11 or 12, I went through the whole like flipped over hair phase and like very, very, very skinny jeans.
Okay. Strangest song you last heard?
Absolutely, Story of a Girl by Nine Days. It was like, this is a story of a girl.
Strangest app on your phone? If you had to choose.
I'm actually using a temporary phone right now 'cause I, my phone, I lost everything a while ago. You know what's funny? It's actually really sad. I should say this publicly. I I you you're not going to see many like posts of mine from 13 Reasons Why because every single photo I took during the process is gone forever.
Are you kidding me?
Dead serious. My photo like I lost every any photo that I took or anything during that time. So.
Strangest book you've ever read?
The Click.
Okay. Strangest phobia that you have?
You know that feeling like when you go into a room to get something and it's like a dark hallway and then you run back to the other room and then you feel like something's chasing you, so you run really fast. That happens to me all the time.
Yep. That happens to me too. Final 13th strangest thing about you. Strangest place you've ever used the bathroom?
On the like the studio we're recording, we kind of went outside the studio.
Okay. Like not that long ago. So this is the Strange 80s event here at the Fonda Theater and it's for the Sweet Relief Fund. Yeah. What can people expect from your band?
We we definitely, we're not playing Pleaser 10 times, I promise. We're playing we're playing other new stuff that you won't know and also a couple covers maybe and it'll be good. It'll be good.
Ooh, nice. Yeah. You guys are playing at the Troubadour.
We are.
Which is legend here in LA guys. Troubadour and the Roxy. You sold them out though, right?
Sold them both out. Yeah, just two weekends in a row.
Is there going to be any Wallows music in season two?
I don't know if any of our music would fit in anywhere. Even the back background of a party or something. That would be cool. It'd be a cool thing, but it's like it'd have to work. Like the show is very specific. I'm very specific about like what I think should be on the show musically and it has to be the right fit, you know what I mean?
Do they like talk to you about that? Like hey Dylan, you think it fits?
Brian and I. Yeah, Brian Brian Yorkey is the showrunner, we have a lot of um uh a lot of we had a lot of conversations about it. I have some ideas for like music for season two, so that'd be cool.
Awesome. Well, speaking of season two, is there anything that you can tell us about it? Please.
I know little things that I absolutely cannot share 'cause
Well, yeah. Can't do that.
But uh, I don't have any scripts yet. I'm I'm I can't wait to get them. I'm getting them like next week, I think. So.
Well, Dylan, it was such a pleasure hanging out with you on this rooftop. Thanks. Leave a thumbs up.
Thanks to you.
Awesome.
