Everything we did, we did in American accent.

We would have sex in American accents.

Um...

Which our girlfriends thought was really fucking annoying.

I'm surprised as well.

We were, yeah, no, we were like, we'd just grown up watching American movies.

We loved American stand-up comedy.

And we just took a whole bunch of different characters and we mashed them together.

And as soon as he sits down, he's like, all right, boys, you know, and he's got this broad Glaswegian accent.

The first person, the first A&R that interviews us is Scottish.

We're screwed at that point because when someone's Scottish is speaking to someone Scottish, you start to kind of like, you join, you know.

And so we were talking and we were both finding it very difficult not to say Scottish words.

And then eventually he said something.

He said I and Bill went straight back with I can, which is I know in Scotland.

And two Americans would never know to say, I can, in the way that Bill said it.

And as soon as we said that, he looked straight at Billy, and then he looked at me, and it was like, he knows.

So we felt like everything that we were saying, he was like, where are you boys actually from?

And the way he said actually was like, he knows, we're done here, basically.

And when we left that outside of the Sony building, I grabbed Bill and I said, this isn't going to work if we're half-assed.

Like, we need to be in, all in, like 24-7.
