Enjoyed hearing jolly and folio. Please pull more questions from fans instead of jokes about the weather.

[@jamieshaw7618]

It was fine. From what Rizz said I expected it to be worse lol. They seemed nice enough. Just a little awkward.

[@DanielDrake-sp4xn]

That was cool. It was a good interview

[@HappyBdayMav]

😂 Rizz cmon now they were not rude or disinterested just because he didn’t laugh hard enough at your chicken leg joke. Sorry but you were combative most of the interview.

[@Demo_833]

Exactly. To me, they interviewed a couple guys who are serious about their craft and didn’t think Rizz’s jokes were all that funny. Press the button “swing and a miss”

[@nathanwoodside2309]

I agree. From the show, I was expecting them to be total dicks, but they weren't. They were fine. Some jokes and questions didn't land, so the interview was flat. It happens. Everyone's human. It's no big deal.

[@HappyBdayMav]

They had Noah (singer) interview last year. I wonder if they were irritated they were irritated they got someone else. Today on the radio rizz mentioned AK from Rchp said “no radio interviews” when they are in town. The guys being interviewed seem more awkward than disinterested. This interview feels like the radio show not so much an interview which isn’t a bad thing but the band guys don’t seem like it’s their regular dynamic and they’re trying to adjust a bit.

[@nathanwoodside2309]

@@HappyBdayMav Another thing to mention its the time of the show. With a band's sleep schedule, that would be brutal. On top of the fact that being interviewed isn't probably going to sell anymore tickets, like the way it helps a comedian.

[@robertshriver4628]

Looks like you were the problem Rizz

[@cambrowndrums]

They definitely aren’t the problem lmao

[@chancefowler03]

Everyone talking shit about Rizz on here… lol yet you’re coming from hearing his #1 radio show in Stl. He’s the best, Rafe is awesome, Lern is the shit and the new crew is better than ever.

[@flushot6513]

My favorite thing to listen too got that in your face one song the next song makes ya think and feel deep

[@marimearim]

The guy interviewer seemed really awkward and kinda like a dick to me, as if that was his first interview

[@michellechappell1543]

Was this the day folio had food poisoning and he had her not know the difference between them? 😞

[@MS-dz1di]

I think so.

[@craigt6118]

I went into it expecting much worse which probably made it seem much better.

[@tonyparente815]

well that was a nothing burger, the interview was fine lol

[@Jason-dz4hi]

Lmfao creamy chicken legs

[@shashe23]

That’s a nice profile pic you got there

[@Trav7Man]

That was so cringe! 😂

[@almondblood]

Rizz sucks lol

[@Myvirtualbulldog]

That tall guy would not look at Rizz and even turned the question on him. Guy did not like Rizz, def had no RiZZ from Rizz on this one

[@kollixlovesmej]

Rizz: This is going so well 🫠😅 Rizz commant had me in tears & reminds me of a date I had with a guy a few years ago. He was so shy and didn’t say anything. This was a little painful to watch
