What would you take with you if your house was burning down?
Dan: My girlfriend
Tim Watson (or T1): Everything.
Tim Wild (or T2): Is it a slow fire or is it like you can grab one thing?
T1: I’d put my clothes on. I’d grab my stereo, I’d grab my CD’s, I’d grab my photos. I’d grab my bed because you need somewhere to sleep. I’d grab a light snack because with all the excitement I’d be feeling a bit peckish. My pornographic magazine collection…

Have you ever been booed off stage?
Jason: I’ve never been booed off stage, nah. I have had some f**kin’ serious dirty looks. You know, when you’re younger and you’re doing things to make money – I was in this band that dressed up as monkeys. There was six of us on stage dressed up as six different monkey characters.
T2: Jeez, I would have booed you off stage.
T1: Yeah, so would I.
J: Donkey Kong and Funky Kong and all these f**kin’ kongs, right, and we played this bikie festival and ooh, they were greasing us up mate.
D: My band supported the Cosmic Psychos once.
T1: Only coz they thought you were hippies.
D: They threw glasses at us. They didn’t boo us but they threw glasses at us.
T2: Sunglasses though, and they didn’t really hurt.

What’s the worst album you own?
T1: B-B-BoyzIIMen.

T2: That’s a good album…

Who should be the next American President?
T2: Who’s that guy that spanks all the chicks’ arses with a fish?
Chorus: Howard Stern.
T2: Oh, easily.
D: He’s like Bill Clinton without the cigar, you know?

Have you ever crashed your car?
T1: Yes, once. And it was a write-off. I was on the mobile phone and I was scrawling through my phone while driving straight up the arse of this van. Wrote the car off, my first accident. Sort of mild whiplash and this huge bruise.
D: And that was just another excuse to be late to the studio.
T1: The funniest part of it was that I did the bullshit story to the insurance company.
T2: I think he’s gonna regret this because his insurance company might read this…
T1: Basically what I said was that I had a sneezing fit and to make it believable, I told it to everyone that I had a sneezing fit…
T2: And which insurance company are you with, Tim?
T1: Yeah, good on ya! Could have been killed. The reason I actually had the car crash was because we had just signed our contract and for about two weeks I was in a pretty weird head space.

What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done for money?
T1: Sung karaoke in America for these schlappers [indicates fellow band members].
J: You know when I was at school I had a gift of being able to scab money, off anyone and everyone…
T1: What do you mean when you at school?
J: I’ve got a gift of being able to get money off people and never have to give it back. I used to make like, $15 or $20 bucks a lunchtime.

How did your band get it’s name?
D: Actually, we’ve got a mate back in Melbourne that drives a cab, Terry – how are ya mate?
T1: Hi Terry. Terry Green.
D: And we basically gave him our early demos and he played them in his cab and got people’s opinions of them and he’d come back and say ‘Aaah, I had Michael Jackson’s bass player in the car tonight – he really liked it.’ So we called ourselves Taxi and then we called ourselves Taxiride.
T1: There’s too many taxis around the world. The amount of money that we’d have to spend to buy people out of the name was just going to be ridiculous.

Who’s your favourite Minogue?
T1: Well, originally Kylie but unfortunately Dannii had all that plastic surgery done so now she’s looking a little bit blonde and sassy.
T2: Good answer. Dannii gets better and better.
T1: You want the real grit? I’ll give you the real f**kin’ grit. I went to high school with Kylie and Dannii. Dannii was quite pleasant – of course, she was a little bit more heavy in the thigh department. But anyway, she looks great now and that’s the point. But I pissed off Kylie Minogue once in the quadrangle. I was in year seven, she was in year ten, she said something to a friend in that little Kylie voice she has and I said something back and she gave me the evilest Kylie look similar to the movie we saw the other day. And she scared me even though she was actually very short and I had to run away crying. True story.

What’s the best/worst alcohol induced experience you’ve ever had?
D: The worst alcohol induced experience I ever had was drinking an entire bottle of vodka by myself, on no food the night before our flight to Sydney at eight in the morning. And I get in my car and I’m driving to the airport and I get halfway down my street and I’m throwing up all over the passenger seat. And then I threw up at the airport.
T2: Why do you tell these stories?
D: Because they’re cool man. They’re so rock…

Have you ever stolen anything?

J: Yes. I’ve stolen lots of hearts.
