~An Interview with Josh Howard~

 

Nathan Perry:    So I thought I'd do a little interview for your fans.

Josh Howard:     [laughs] Yeah. Do you think anyone every reads that stuff?

NP:    You're getting like at least 100 hits a month! You know, some of those people are looking for "Tits Mariah" I think but a lot of people are reading it and coming back I think. The other day we got a Google hit from someone who actually searched for "Peter Flatworth and the Rebounds" 

JH:    Holy shit really?

NP:    I thought maybe it was you.

JH:    No man. That wasn't me. Let me ask [girlfriend- talking away from phone] No man wasn't us.

NP:    I still read it and it totally cracks me up. I'm honored to have it on my site. But I think you should have your own site.

JH:    Wow thats crazy. I never knew that you took this stuff that seriously, and hearing you say that about getting hits makes my head all trippey right now.

NP:     So how is episode 5 coming along?

JH:    I'm trying to decide where to go with it. I've just got ideas and a little bit of the story. I was looking at the old ones, the first one sucks, the fourth one is better. Talking to you gives me inspiration though. Here's the thing with part 5. I did those in high school you know, that was years ago and they're about high school things like Walsh [Pedro] and P-Off [Fish] passing pictures in class, picking on people and making nicknames for them like "Bush Pig and Mr. Ed"...

NP:    HA! I haven't thought of them in years!

JH:    [laughs] So I want to make it more current like how we are today but I get writers block.

NP:    I know what you mean. You should just do it, anything, you know to get the juices flowing. You can do it Josh.

JH:    Yeah, for the fans right?

NP:    Yes! We've been anxiously awaiting part 5 you can't let us down! So I just have one more question. Mike showed me once I think but I forget now, what exactly is 'the Matthew'?

JH:    Well it started with a movie we called 'Coming Up' we made in Mrs. Bess's film class about what an 8th graders idea of High School was. Walsh [Pedro] and Phil get drunk and pass out and wake up in a land where there are all these giant people and big titties. Phil is trying to act like an 8th grader in high school, there was one scene were Ryan [Ryan] and Walsh [Pedro] are at a party where everyone is dancing in the backyard, and Ryan is walking like a chicken across the screen. So that became 'doing the Matthew'.

NP:    the chicken dance?

JH:    No, everyone doing their own specific dance moves.

NP:    So everyone has their own Matthew? Like P-Off I think said that the Matthew was one hand on the waist and one hand in the air and waving it and bobbing your head. That's what I always thought of.

JH:    Yeah.

NP:    The Rebounds just boggie down whenever they want.

JH:     Now you know!
