(Oh and uhh… pretend like we care about their opinions… I’m sure the tit showing is totally some sort of millionth wave feminist statement)

HB – So, what’s your favorite hangover breakfast?

V – Gardettos and some Sprite on ice, pretty much cure me. If I’m morbidly hungover, I’ve got to have Sprite on ice.

R – I like Dr. Pepper, chips, and salsa.

HB – How much Dr. Pepper?

R – A fuck ton.

HB – Like a two-liter? Ben Tipton’s hangover breakfast is literally a 2-liter and that’s all. Tell us, what’s your favorite Mexican place? Like, legit Mexican.

R – The Arandas on Burnet is pretty good.

V – Tyson’s tacos is awesome. BUT, best breakfast taco in town, Veracruz on East Cesar Chavez! I fucking love that place. BEST MIGAS TACO. And they make smoothies! And agua frescas are also choice if you’re hangover! I had one of those today and was like dayum.

HB – When someone calls you a bitch how do you feel?

V – I think it’s pretty accurate when it comes to describing me.

R – Yeah I think they got it pretty right. Thank you for finally recognizing who I truly am.

HB – Haha, why are you guys so dreamy?

V – You guys did see my tits today so I don’t know maybe that’s why.

R – You guys were blinded by Victoria’s breasts!

HB – That was beautiful. Good jobs you guys, thank your moms for us.

HB- What do you y'all do for a living?

V – I work in the art department for film. It’s all freelance. I’m usually unemployed.

R – I work in shitty restaurants and play music, like everyone else in this town. I’m in a band called Feral Future. I’m the front woman. Victoria directed our music video.

HB– What’s the name of the video?

R – “No Means Nothing.”

V – It’s a really awesome song and record. The music video has a lot of awesome blood.

R – We had to make all the blood! It was made out of corn syrup so it really, really sticky

V – …and Deb’s really happy we didn’t shoot at her house…

HB – I didn’t give a shit! That was the week I went to California…spontaneously…

HB – Hah, so where you guys from?

R – I’m from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

V – McAllen, Texas…the valleyyy. Rio Grande Valley, what upppp! Totally reppin’ valley shitttt!

HB – What brought you guys to Austin?

V – College. I went to St. Ed’s

R – Austin because it wasn’t New York or Tulsa.

V – Austin’s a fucking cool city. I don’t think I could live anywhere else in Texas. Fuck Houston!

R – Fuck Dallas too.

HB – What does being a Texan mean to you?

R – I’ve only been a Texan for a short while.

V – I was fucking born and raised and I think they’re are way different parts of Texas and I’m really happy that I’m in Austin than any other place. Cause Austin is the best city in the fucking state.

HB – What does it mean to be a Texan?

V – I think it makes us feel that we can really loud and impolite annnd… we’re like really obnoxious here. We really are. We don’t give a fuck.

R – It’s rowdy for sure. Rambunctious.

HB – So we don’t go toward political stuff unless you want to…

R– You guys know I love talking about women’s right. Hashtag because feminism

HB– Is that your political message?

R – I guess so. It’s very complicated.

HB – Why?

R – We’re going to get into this! So there’s this turning point in feminism where it became intersectional. Feminism that is also involved in and interested in minority groups rights…so rather you’re queer or a person of color or you’re a disabled person…there’s a lot of parallels that run with that and seeing how feminism as a theory is also paralleled with these other things. But it’s just this idea that the theory has started to do in the last couple of years and it’s been really interesting but it’s also kinda changed the way I think feminists talk about politics too. So it’s become a lot more complicated.

Texas straw - $3

HB – Give us your bitches on a budget life tricks…

R – You can buy a few really expensive things, but then wear them all season with cheap shit. It’s like what I do. And knock offs!

V – My cheap tip is just don’t give a fuck! Put whatever you want on your body that day and who gives a fuck who likes it.

R – And you can go topless in Austin, that’s pretty cheap.

HB – Hashtag because feminism.
