BN: What was the last dream you had?

JT: It was about our guitar player Stevy telling a story about getting into some messy trouble with a female friend of his.

BN: Do you have a morning bathroom routine? If so what does it entail from when you get out of bed until you are dressed for the day?

BN: Who was your first kiss? How old were you? Where were you?

JT: I'm honestly not sure.

BN: What do you have hanging on the walls of your bedroom? Which item is your favorite and why?

JT: Whatever the hotel I'm in has hanging on the wall. I am homeless. :)

BN: What movie do you watch when you are sad?

JT: Basic Instinct.

BN: Which historical figure do you most identify? Why?

JT: Um...I think I'll be really awesome at 36.

BN: Do you have any scars? If so what happened? If not, tell us about an imperfection you have and how you got it?

JT: My shins are covered in scars from dumb shit I do on stage. Covered.

BN: If you could travel back in time and have a chat with the you-of-ten-years-ago, what advice would you give yourself?

JT: I would tell myself I look best blonde.

BN: If it were your last meal ever, what would you feast on?

JT: Champagne and Marshmallows.

BN: If you could DJ any celebrity’s party who would it be and what would be the song you would play as they enter the room?

JT: Sharon Stone. Semi Precious Weapons "Put A Diamond In It".

BN: What was your first job? What was your worst job?

JT: First job was being a receptionist at a salon. Worst job was collecting cans off the street and cashing them in for change at the grocery store.

BN: What is next for you?

JT: Becoming the most loved and most hated band in the world.
