@@powercakes It's genuinely incredible. I know nothing about playing music or music equipment but watched an entire half hour video of Julien just breaking down the gear she uses lol.
I think this is genuinely the happiest that I have seen nardwuar in one of these interviews. I loved how both receptive and genuine the boys were to the questions and how genuinely excited they seemed to be there
Nardwuar is a treasure 😭 the way he chooses his gifts is so special. I feel like I learn a lot from him, the way he considers the people he's interviewing
I remember seeing Lucy open for Car Seat Headrest at a small club in Detroit in 2016. You could feel the moment of discovery for the entire crowd hearing her for the first time.
When I was a teenager I'd look forward to nardwuars interviews with rappers I loved, And now I'm in my late 20s excited as fuck that he is interviewing boygenius, Boy how times have changed
@@arnoudh6203In that's so raven the main character will have visions of something that's going to happen in the near future, so when she says she has a that's so raven moment but seeing into the past that's just remembering a memory
Funny you say that because they actually did recreate Nirvana's Rolling Stone cover magazine on Rolling Stone! There's a clip of it on RS' official UA-cam channel
Honestly, @amandapasler5941, it was only a handful of carefully sequenced MP3 CDs. Maybe 400 tracks altogether. But no doubt it *seemed* like 4,000 tracks! Anyway, I wish I could actually take credit for more than introducing Phoebe to the original Ednaswap version(s) of "Torn."
Absolutely best line: the gates are locked, but not really locked. You just have to jiggle the gate. I really wish more people understood this. PS: Saw Phoebe cry very publicly on stage, with good reason. They're rock stars but they're also 100% authentic real human beings.
dude, juliens “wait no” killed me every time she said it haha loved this interview! I’ve been waiting so long for this! also seeing him record them at the show felt like such a full circle moment, one of my all time favourite shows and now interview! 🖤 the boys are fucking incredible.
Super fun interview. This was the first time I had seen all of them be interviewed and I have to say that Julien is absolutely adorable. I love how much they all clearly care about each other.
Favourite moments: 16:49 Steve-O in Whole Foods 20:26 "thank you Coldplay" 23:55 JB sings Shania Twain 28:49 pretending to be your own manager 29:54 alligator vs crocodile
Thank you god I found this vid because I suddenly felt the intense need to hear the man I feel like a woman boygenius moment and you've saved me from scrolling through the whole thing
this interview was so sweet and wholesome, it made me so happy. i love the boys and nardwuar so much! it's always nice to see the artists excited to be interviewed by him
@@willenhall12345 Ye. Being extremely happy for a group comes off as if you rode that journey with them from the very bottom and struggles. When really you just joined at the peak of the party and went "yeah, this is cool. I'm reveling in this"
cause i am more of a (old school) hiphop fan i have never heard of boygenius...but they seem great , maybe i ll check out their music. that is also the greatness of nardwuar: the audience of rap fans gets to know artists from other genres (rock, metal, punk etc.) and vice versa
It is so unique and wild how much He knows about artists of all genres. In the same interviews He will give someone a punk, acid jazz, and 70s hip hop albums haha Dude is wild with the background knowledge
THE INTERVIEW I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! Actually pumped my fist when I saw this in my notifications. EDIT: Already knew this would be good when they were the first act I saw REALLY get freaked out about the special pedal. That was delightful. Like how even when Nard pointed out it's difficult to use, the three were immediately coming up with workarounds cuz they want to use it so badly. EDIT 2: Knowing that Phoebe Bridgers also loves "I Wish I Was the Moon," a song that's helped me get through rough times and I don't see get brought up enough, also makes me happy. This interview's exactly as great as I hoped it'd be.
This interview made me so happy and was a blast to watch! Will watch it again for sure. Thank you Nardwuar and the boys for such a lovely interview, 34 minutes flew by! I wish it was longer, I could watch them speak for hours. Lots of love from Brazil 🥰
JB: “I’m having a that’s so Raven moment but backwards, in the past…”
Lucy: “… a memory? 💀💀
probably more like a flashback
affectionately dunking on your friends is one of life's greatest pleasures
18:20
Fucking hilarious 😂
There’s an episode of Cory in the house with that power
Getting interviewed by Nardwuar is like God quizzing you on your own life after you've died.
"Well keep on rocking in the afterlife and doot doodle doot doot..."
This has the uncomfortable energy of three kids taking an exam that they are totally unprepared for, and I LOVE IT!
Not getting an uncomfortable energy from this video at all. Everyone seems very happy and comfortable.
Lol exactly like a test !
thanks for this comment Diana
@@maxmonas7131it’s super awkward and uncomfortable like their trauma is so bad they can barely exist
@@maxmonas7131awkward more like
The band being starstruck as they meet Nardwuar is entirely accurate and a correct response to meeting this man in person.
It's also the most boygenius thing ever
@@silverlink8805 had no idea who these girls were before this interview. Enjoyed listening to their music all day since watching 👍
@@Gilescowdemdem*boys
@@lovelisafrankaccurate correction
@@Linnyluvzya exactly
The chaotic mic movement from Nardwuar is consistently inconsistent
Julien is getting so comfortable in interviews and i LOOOOVE her personality she’s so fun
right so smart and articulate too just a lovely person
She must be wearing dr scholls
Julien Baker really steals the show in this interview.
She steals the show in the band also.
Steals the show on the album too
every interview she’s so well spoken
She steals the show live too
She def seems like the one who'd be the funniest to set with at the bar.
Nardwuar probably knows more about anyone than they know about themselves
Great, another original comment...
@@Compulsive-Elk7103u complainin
he just doesn't always know how to pronounce it 😅
it's like he got his wish to be omniscient but there had to be a catch or he'd be too powerful
Bro just interviews friends and family
W comment
Julien is the GOAT for asking how the pedal works on the very first question. One of my fav artists ever
Julien's pedal board is an absolute mystery to me and she is some type of warlock for knowing how to use it
I love how after she asked the series/parallel question she held on it for what seemed like most of the interview. Her new favourite thing!
@@powercakes It's genuinely incredible. I know nothing about playing music or music equipment but watched an entire half hour video of Julien just breaking down the gear she uses lol.
I love when the mic is in front of julien and she just goes "hmm" instead of saying anything LMAO
I think this is genuinely the happiest that I have seen nardwuar in one of these interviews. I loved how both receptive and genuine the boys were to the questions and how genuinely excited they seemed to be there
Boygenius and Haim for sure were the happiest
My 6 year old son watched the whole interview with me, looked at me very seriously after and said: "I love them."
Same, buddy.
Every time Julien smiles and laughs I literally gain years of life
That is truly remarkable
Nice
lucy constantly asking "how do you know this" is literally me whenever someone knows anything about me
My cheeks hurt from smiling for 35 minutes straight
Put👏🏽 your 👏🏽 jacket 👏🏽 back 👏🏽 on 👏🏽 it’s 👏🏽 your 👏🏽 uniform.
This is the boy’s best interview ever 🖤
That was Dopeee
Nardwuar is a treasure 😭 the way he chooses his gifts is so special. I feel like I learn a lot from him, the way he considers the people he's interviewing
Bro's live legend
Yes he does inspire in that way
That boost pedal is an incredibly thoughtful gift Nardwuar. This was a lovely interview.
Julien talking about her teacher made me tear up! As a former kid with adhd who nobody noticed was struggling, that was so sweet :')
Completely agree! It was always about me being “bad” when I was just bored. I felt so seen.
Yup exactly.
I had a smile on my face for like a whole minute after she talked about that, mad relatable 😭
18:28 Lucy saying "Memory" was one of the funniest Nardwuar moments I've ever seen.
Lucy saying 'well if the tree's name is Gerald then I'm going to call it Gerald...' her mind lmao
I’ve never seen JB so invested in an interview compared to all others. She definitely didn’t know what to expect this time
I remember seeing Lucy open for Car Seat Headrest at a small club in Detroit in 2016. You could feel the moment of discovery for the entire crowd hearing her for the first time.
holy fuck what a show that must've been
I wasn’t ready for Juilen Baker being this awesome.
Watch/listen to her other interviews. She’ll blow your mind lol
julien is such a beam of light and can make anyone smile i love her
So proud to be one of the people involved in the fan project in Toronto. Literally paused the whole show because they started freaking out
the interview makes me so unreasonably happy
When I was a teenager I'd look forward to nardwuars interviews with rappers I loved,
And now I'm in my late 20s excited as fuck that he is interviewing boygenius,
Boy how times have changed
So is boygenius for da streets?
Times have changed because you don't love the rappers anymore? Lol
@@GEROKII yes
You just like me fr
the differences in their personalities is just so funny especially at the end I COULDNT STOP LAUGHING
i've never even heard this band but this was one of the most entertaining interviews
the band is really great, so is their solo work. You should check them out!
Wait til you hear their music
They’re effing great. Dive in, the songwriting is warm and welcoming. The harmonies are dreamy and real, the rock rocks.
Their record from this year is one of the year's best
Since the interview they had 3 Grammy wins.
phoebe bringing up red flannel georgia is so silly. does she know how heartbreaking it is?
Juilen - I'm having a That's So Raven but backwards in the past
Lucy - You mean a memory
I love them!!!!
I dont get it :(
@@arnoudh6203In that's so raven the main character will have visions of something that's going to happen in the near future, so when she says she has a that's so raven moment but seeing into the past that's just remembering a memory
@@aliceyuri Ah now it makes sense😆 thanks
Them standing together they totally look like a young female Nirvana: scrawny greasy haired Dave, awkward tall Kris, blonde Kurt
Funny you say that because they actually did recreate Nirvana's Rolling Stone cover magazine on Rolling Stone! There's a clip of it on RS' official UA-cam channel
let's be honest this was bound to happen
Julien had a Jimmy Neutron moment when she held up one finger when she remembered something. I fucking love the boys and Nardwuar this was great
i appreciate the way nard knows so much about a massive range of artists, whether it’s playboi carti, j cole, boygenius, alvvays etc
They're playboi Carti, j Cole, boygenius, alvvays, etc...he HAS to know!
Julien's impression of an 80's snare sound at 23:00 is on point.
I want that damn playlist that Phoebe’s mom’s friend named Matt made for phoebe
Honestly, @amandapasler5941, it was only a handful of carefully sequenced MP3 CDs. Maybe 400 tracks altogether. But no doubt it *seemed* like 4,000 tracks! Anyway, I wish I could actually take credit for more than introducing Phoebe to the original Ednaswap version(s) of "Torn."
I can vouch for the fact that Phoebe’s mom’s friend Matt makes kick-ass playlists!
@@MatthewBudmanare you the Matt in question? haha
@@Chris.4345 I am indeed Phoebe's Mom's Friend Matt. Accept no substitutes.
holy shit, it's matt!
Julien holding her laugh at what Phoebe was sayin is really an underrated moment 3:58
i want someone who looks at me the way phoebe bridgers looks at her friends
I was at the Toronto show and it was indeed magical 🥰 will never recover from this shout out
It was so good
@@jamiejoonks truly a show I’ll never forget
SAME, I was part of the blue zone of the rainbow! Still kept the paper : ' )
Yellow section! Also kept the paper. ❤
Boygenius just come across as the most delightful people. The respect Lucy shows in sheathing that copy of Life...
Yeah, I saw that, too. Such smart, thoughtful kids.
I love Julien's energy here. She's cute and funny. Her reaction to that gift is the nicest
Julien’s scream always sounds like a plane landing
Absolutely best line: the gates are locked, but not really locked. You just have to jiggle the gate. I really wish more people understood this. PS: Saw Phoebe cry very publicly on stage, with good reason. They're rock stars but they're also 100% authentic real human beings.
"There's a video of me singing Georgia in a red version of this dress" WE KNOW PHOEBE
Love that Julien is a hardcore kid
Julien has the prettiest voice ever imo
every single media appearance or show or song or anything else just makes me love them more and more- the sound of a generation
Love Julien's energy.. She always looks great in interviews 😂😭
My favorite "Why should people care?" answer is: They don't have to. I knew one of the boygeniuses would drop that. Love this band.
Mac DeMarco gave a solid response, too:
"They don't have to... but if you want me, I'm right here with open arms, baby" *winks*
So sweet of them to introduce themselves by name to Nardwuar, who undoubtedly knows each of their home address and SSNs
julien’ reactions to the questions and gifts is so cute
Nothing is better than when the artists are just as excited as Nardwuar ❤ This interview is so joyous
I haven’t been this excited for a Nardwuar interview in awhile 😂 and he’s had some amazing interviews lately
Love how Julien and Lucy always seem to be kind of laughing at some kind of inside joke...usually involving Phoebe. They def seem close
dude, juliens “wait no” killed me every time she said it haha loved this interview! I’ve been waiting so long for this! also seeing him record them at the show felt like such a full circle moment, one of my all time favourite shows and now interview! 🖤 the boys are fucking incredible.
Everyone’s subtly gentle approach to the mental health/crying part of this conversation is elevated, compassionate and twenty first century pureness.
julien radiates richard hammond energy and im here for that
Super fun interview. This was the first time I had seen all of them be interviewed and I have to say that Julien is absolutely adorable. I love how much they all clearly care about each other.

they went crazy over the boost petal i love it lol
Fascinating music/industry knowledge by Julien Baker
lucy dacus is such a talented songwriter
julien grabbing for lucy when nardwuar directs his attention to her im dying
Phoebe doing the Keke Palmer meme "I'm sorry to this man" had me loling!
this interview was so sweet and wholesome, it made me so happy. i love the boys and nardwuar so much! it's always nice to see the artists excited to be interviewed by him
julien introducing herself as jb is so personal to me oh my god
Julian Baker mentioning Balance and Composure 🤘🏼💜
Damn... I won't lie julien baker carried this interview with her charisma...
Love you Nardwuar. Keep up the good content 😊
i love how lucy played the game of seeing 3 things or people and immediately start to guess which member of boygenius is which
this is the first nardwuar interview i’ve seen bc he did it with the boys but this man is amazing
Holy BoyGenuis
I just got into them recently and i'm so happy for them and all their success!! they deserve it all
You got into em recently but are happy for their success. AIGHT
i just realized Phoebe Bridgers is in Boygenius.

RIGHT
One Apple tall 🤏
I love how excited they got by the boost pedal I have no idea how something like that works but it’s so cute how they all screamed excitedly

julien was so stressed😭
this was one of the best nardwuar interviews ever, genuinely a hilarious group of people
I wasn't ready for this, great interview really fun to watch it, Julien's energy here is something else.. Love her
this is so pure man. I've never seen a more chaotic good UA-cam video
This interview made me so happy and was a blast to watch! Will watch it again for sure. Thank you Nardwuar and the boys for such a lovely interview, 34 minutes flew by! I wish it was longer, I could watch them speak for hours. Lots of love from Brazil 🥰
Julien’s power stance at the end is KILLING ME
Thank u for so much classic interviews 💯💯
they are so awkward and i’m deeply in love with each of them
Julien Baker mentioning Ryan Hailey is insane
AMAZING interview, expect nothing but the best from Nardwuar. I love this band so so much.
I don't think I have heard a song by them before, but gosh are those 3 funny and sympathetic! Need to check out their music.
I love that Julien learned what a paper doll is in this interview
That was one of the happiest videos I have watched in a long time, great energy all round!
This is my first time watching a Nardwuar video and I loved it! This interview is hilarious, adorable, and insightful
They seem like awesome people and a great band. Thanks for another awesome interview Nard!
Sealed L7 cassettes from 1994 in 2023 is insane.... how does he keep finding such relics as gifts
