[@elliesparklez5818]

[@user-ze6wb9bl3f]

*clears throat* Otto and Geoff are as important to the band as Awsten and deserve more attention thank you for attending my Ted talk

[@KitKat-hm6nd]

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

[@alexjorga6412]

hearing the intro and not hearing LIKE IT gives me whiplash

[@stinkbot115]

Awsten really stood up in the middle of an interview to pull his rings out of his pocket 😂😂

[@annabelvillarreal2322]

Awsten “im going to shave my head” Me *clicks off the video*

[@heyhriday]

We came too close to this

[@crazi_frog2831]

OH. MY. GOD THIS IS THE INTERVIEW AT THE BEGINNING OF "LIKE IT" !!! I REALIZED BC HE SAID "ITS ME!" LIKE OMG !!!

[@harmonycollins8746]

imagine my surprise when I saw this AFTER listening to LIKE IT

[@prollymarkus]

you know i gotta come back to this after LIKE IT came out

[@virgilisbaby7304]

when awsten put his arm around geoff and left it there for the rest of the interview 🥺

[@RAM-bo1gz]

Awsten is such a chaotic good and it really shows in this video

[@MAR00NR1TUAL]

ALL I CAN HEAR IS LIKE IT

[@blanket4763]

“Group chat; It came from the heart, It came from the balls, all seven of em” -awsten knight, 2019

[@nedad5748]

can we emphasize the fact that geoff literally said one sentence and otto said like two things? and james basically only adresses awsten,,, like i love awsten but i wish they’d treat waterparks like a band and not like the awsten show

[@mayataff7461]

Right?? Feel like Otto and Geoff have been kinda left out for a lot of their interviews

[@demetrisloukas8586]

And that's even present on the album unfortunately. It's a really good album but it doesn't feel like a band

[@smileylpsgirl]

i feel like it's been this way for awhile now tbh, but it's certainly getting worse and worse. i understand if they like all agreed to let Awsten do most of the talking but i would even like to see more one-on-one interviews with Otto or Geoff.

[@kaibrooks2309]

I thought about that when listening to fandom and got really curious about how involved Otto and Geoff really are with writing the music and other production stuff but from this interview it seems like Otto especially is really really excited about the album and you can tell from the live shows that Geoff loves the songs and always sings along. In terms of interviews, Geoff has always been pretty quiet and they both tend to push questions onto Awsten anyway. As long as they're happy, which it looks like they are, I think it's fine:)

[@stinkbot115]

I agree to an extent, and I really do feel like Geoff and Otto were totally gipped in the album (they hardly play at all and the lyrics are so awsten-centered) but it's always been this way in interviews and I don't think it's a problem. Awsten is clearly the most outgoing and passionate one, and I think Otto is just more reserved and doesn't want to talk as much. Same for Geoff. So awsten kind of takes over to fill the gaps and Otto and Geoff chime in when they feel comfortable and have something to say. The only times that I get mad in interviews is when they like only give awsten a mic, or all of the questions are *specifically* asked to awsten. Otherwise I think it's just their personalities

[@cherryred11]

11:47 is the part of the interview featured at the end of "LIKE IT"!

[@gottagoquack]

ty 🙏

[@marvelousjesss]

ill never hear this the same after like it omg

[@pluto.the.planet]

omg i found the interview from LIKE IT lmaoo

[@dominika1294]

Can we just appreciate how great interviewer is James

[@stinkbot115]

I need awsten to really come out and tell us all of the deeper meanings bc I'm dumb and I really want to know everything

[@tonytheparamorestan]

saaame

[@xyngbloodx]

Biggest same I've ever samed

[@liviajohnson4918]

One thing I noticed was the sing before group chat and then group chat and I'm gonna listen to it again and come back to you in a minute because I forget

[@liviajohnson4918]

Okay I'm back. The end of telephone is "losing his mind, and I'm reaping all the benefits" To reap is to cut or gather. This basically means that "he" is going insane and this other man is basically using him. In group chat, Awsten sounds like a demon, and it sounds like two voices. I feel like this could be like how the man dealing the benefits of awsten going insane is almost a shadow of him.

[@liviajohnson4918]

*the man reaping the benefits

[@kaibrooks2309]

I love how happy they all look, Otto especially looks like he's so so pleased with the album which is awesome :)

[@heIIopenny]

awsten yelling treason is my notification sound now, thanks.

[@baileyryan96]

Awsten burping at the end caught me off guard. He was so casual about it. xD

its the 'like it' interview!

[@closinginonclosure]

2:37 ...I listened to it. I would have titled it Dreamboy or Dream Boy "with a space" as option 2. They have a song with the title and it's something he's says a few times throughout the album.

[@ohcameron42553]

closinginonclosure all of their albums go in the order of the alphabet! So they wanted something that started with F!
