I, along with 2 million other people, bought "Everything You Want." I listened through, loving every single song on the record. A year later, Vertical Horizon was playing down the street from me, and they came to see my show. I was shocked that they wanted to see me. Soon, Matt and I started hanging out and just hit it off. That's what makes our show entertaining. You're seeing two best friends just hanging out, loving music.

Does he say exactly the right things at exactly the right time?

He's funny like that. It's weird. I do concede that.

You guys have a video blog where you mention Wikipedia. Your entry is lengthy — but Scannell doesn't even have his own page!

What?! That's ridiculous! He's a loser! I can't believe that, I'm not going to tour with him anymore! But thanks for bringing that to my attention. We have lots of friendly rivalries.

Like what?

A year and a half ago, Matt found out they were releasing his song "Best I Ever Had," recorded by Gary Allen. At the same time, my song "Better Life" was being released by Keith Urban. When we realized we were going to be on the country charts at the same time, Matt said, "It's not that I don't want your song to do well, I just want mine to do better." And I said, "You need to understand that's not going to happen. This is going to be embarrassing for you." When the Urban song jumped the Allen song, I sent Matt an e-mail and said, "How does my ass look?" To which he e-mailed back some expletives.

On that same vlog, you guys talk Ted Drewes. If there were a new flavor dedicated to you, what would it be?

It would be coffee-flavored ice cream with dark chocolate streams. And it would be called "Skidmarx."

That feathered hair — should you'a known better?

I shoulda. But guys will make cracks, and I'll always say, "You got your wallet? Lets see a picture of you from 1987!" Besides, Lethal Weapon started it.

These words that you say — do they don't mean nuthin'?

Just every fourth word. The meaning will still add up.— Kristyn Pomranz
