Today's guests are probably the most requested guests that we've ever had. And
that's the truth.
They're out of New Orleans, Louisiana, baby. You know that. And that's where we
came to spend time
with them down here on Carondelet Street at the Maison de la Luz Hotel. They
have a new album called
New World Depression. Nobody's done it like they have. Nobody's fan base
is like theirs is. Grateful today to spend time with the Suicide Boys.
Shine that light on me. I'll sit and tell you my stories. Shine on me. And I
will find a song I've been singing.
I've been waiting to bust these out. You picked a good day. Yeah. I might
retire. I'm after today, too.
No, man. You got to do that. For you, brother? Yes. For you? Yes. For Christmas
or something,
you got to bring them bitches back. Christmas or... Where do you spend
Christmas normally?
You come back to Louisiana? Yeah. Family stuff? Yeah. Every time. My family
still lives over in
Mandeville. No, do they? Big Mandeville. So was it Covington or Mandeville? I
grew up in Covington,
and I moved over to Mandeville. I got you. Where at? Should we save this? This
stuff we want to save?
This part of the chat? Oh, we are? Oh, we are? Roll it up, baby.
Yeah. Yeah. I grew up in Covington, down by Lee Road or whatever, by this dude.
Yeah. It was down there.
The Lee Road boys. Oh, bro. Woo! A lot of people, dude. A lot of homemade
tattoos, body work. Yeah.
Yeah. Where they handle business and they'll bury you. You know what I'm saying?
Oh, dude,
they got kind of BYO chiropractor shit going on, like that kind of shit. You
know what I'm saying?
Yeah. Yeah. They'll hook a winch to your leg and try to, like a truck, you know?
My dad was in jail.
Like they're pulling you out the mud. They'll try to fix your hip like that. My
dad was in jail
with a Lee Road boy, and it was his roommate, and that's, I got it. He took
care of them, bro.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like, he knew the ropes. He took care of them,
but that's, uh, Blair.
You remember Blair? Did you ever meet Blair? Oh, yeah. I did flooring with him
and
shit when we first started. Playing tile down? Yeah. Big Xanax? Yeah. Yeah. Oh,
yeah.
Oh, flooring is a gateway drug. I feel like, huh? Bro. How is that not?
I went to that job sober one day. In Louisiana it fucking is. That's for sure.
I went to that job sober for one day just because I didn't have shit, bro,
and I was assed out. So I went there sober for one day, and by lunchtime, I was
willing to suck
some dick for something. Hey, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some female dick, let's
say that. Yeah,
that's cool. So 2024 dick. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
My friend had a joke of, like, how people in Louisiana, like, blue-collar guys,
workers,
they'll, like, verbally express their resume to you to hire them, but their
resume is like,
oh, I don't do pills no more. I do good work, like, whatever, and that's how
they get the job.
I'd rather hire you if you do do pills. They do better work. 90-degree angles
only, bro. One dude told me
once. Yeah, that's what we expected. When I was off that ship, bro, I was on it,
bro. Really?
Employee of the month. Nuh-uh. Depends on which specific one it was. Oh, yeah.
When I was managing a restaurant, Xanax was not my friend. I'd let them do
whatever they wanted.
I think that's where me and you differ. They were all my friends. Really? Yeah,
some were better
friends than others. Well, if you want to get into that. I mean, who was a
better,
who, or I don't know if there's a term for better drug user. I wasn't good at
it. I was too,
I think I got, I was too sensitive with drugs. Scott and I were both way too
good at it.
He started, he started young. He started young. I started young. I started
young, and then
basically by 16, by 16, I was, I was, I had my first pain pill. I was drinking
before that,
and every time I drank, I blacked out. Like, you know what I'm talking about. I
couldn't help it.
So you would do it every time. Oh yeah, every time. It wasn't like that. Scott
was balls to the walls,
balls to the wall every time. Yeah. That was it. Yeah. I had no control
whatsoever,
but I took my first pain pill at 16, and then from then, I was like, fuck, I
want to,
I want to feel like this every day. Like, I get it now. Because I grew up, the
way I grew up,
I hated all that shit from just growing up how I did, and I was like, I'm never
going to touch any of
that shit. And I didn't for a long time until I did. And then once I did, you
know, it's like,
it's like, I get it now. I get why. So from 16 on till 2019, um, every day,
yeah, it was,
it was everyday balls to the wall. It started with pain pills, went to stronger
pain pills, went to heroin.
Then the worst he got was toward the end where I was just speedballing all day,
like 20 Adderall a day,
and 20 Xanax a day to calm me down from that. That's the Louisiana speedball.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's the, yeah. And then, um, you know, whatever opiates, we can get fentanyl
patches, whatever, dude.
Oh yeah. People will do pickleback heroin in Louisiana. People will be like,
what are you doing, bro?
Shit. That drug's always been super pre like prevalent down here, especially in
New Orleans,
you know? Um, yeah. What about your, like your first, do you remember taking
your first pain
pill ever or no? I do. I do. Wow. I had surgery when I was 13. I had, uh, two
ankles, uh, two screws
put in my ankles, uh, for a skateboarding injury that I got into when I was 13
and they did surgery.
And then I was prescribed Vicodin and I would just like lay in my bed. The Vicodin
pill bottle would be
like above on my headboard and like every few hours I was supposed to take one.
And, uh, I got hooked.
And after I got recovered and I started like being a teenager and being social
and all that stuff,
that's what I wanted to find was painkillers. Oh yeah. I remember once I took a
couple of Somas,
Brian and I didn't, I felt like I didn't have any arms for almost half a day.
Well,
like the Trinity is supposed to be a Percocet, a Soma and a Xanax. You ever
seen the pharmacist
that like documentary on Netflix? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's all. Yeah. That was
the thing,
bro. It was like 200, 200 lower tabs, 180 Xanax and 120 Soma. It was like the
Trinity that they
prescribed to everyone. Yeah. Oh, I remember they busted a mall Santa in Terry
town with like, uh,
a hundred Somas on them or something. Shout out, shout out big Terry town. Yeah.
Yeah, bro. A town full of
so many Terry's they named it after them. Hey, Terry will get your flooring,
bro. Some dudes,
they were so fucked up. They put flooring on the ceiling, bro. You're like,
yeah, bro. This
dude put flooring on everything, bro. Oh my God, dude. They'll floor your yard
in Louisiana. They don't
give a fuck, dude. They'll floor a baby crib. They'll floor it down, bro. New
tile. They'll floor your
grandfather, bro. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. That's crazy. You guys,
um, that's crazy. You
remember your first pain pill? Oh yeah. That's crazy to think of how strong
they are and how powerful
they are that that's like a core memory. Well, it's like a very euphoric, like
it's like almost
like a coming to Jesus moment. Like it's like, oh, mine, mine, mine, mine
happened in a different
situation. My, my papa had passed away when I was 16 and me, he was like my dad,
um, you know, uh,
me and, me and him were super tired. I love that man. Um, and when he passed
away, you know, I came
across a, a, a pain pill coping with the sadness. Yeah. And I, you know, at
that point I was just like,
you know, like, this is too painful. I can't deal with this. Fuck it. Um, and
you know, he had his
funeral that day and our, for me, it had the opposite effect. Like I didn't get
sick.
Um, I, I didn't get tired. I got, I got, I felt like great. I know I felt euphoric,
you know what I'm saying? Like I was running around the funeral home. I gave, I
gave a eulogy.
Everybody standing and giving me a goddamn emancipation. He only, look, I will
say to the day,
to this day, I've heard it's the only eulogy with a trap beat behind it.
So I was saying that that's the rumor going around. Yeah. Dang. That's crazy.
So do you
think you would have been able to give that eulogy if you weren't on the pills?
No.
Wow. So that's, I was, I was too hurt. I wonder if that's how, like, I wonder
if that
was that like the first time you ever like kind of spoke like that.
It was the first time in my life that I was comfortable in my skin that I felt
like my whole
life. I like, there was something off. Like I didn't belong here. You know what
I'm saying?
Like I could never be comfortable in my own skin. That was the first time where
that happened to me.
I felt good. I didn't have a care in the world. Um, yeah. And I was like, I, I
made it a point.
I'm, I, I told myself, I remember I'm going to feel like this every day for the
rest of my life. And I,
that's what I set out to do from the time I woke up to the time I went to sleep.
And that's.
So how does music even get started then by you guys, if y'all are already.
Well, it's hard to get a pill head to finish painting the baseboards.
I'm probably the most productive.
If you hold pills above their head, you get them to do anything you want,
anything you want,
they'll do it. You know, and, and, uh, I don't know. We,
our paths started differently. Yeah. And it wasn't like we were so fucked in
the beginning.
Like it was very much a fun thing. And we were ignorant thinking like that,
that story that you
hear about death in jail, that's not going to happen to us because we're
smarter than that.
We know how to do this the right way, but you know, give it 10 years. And we're
at that point.
Yeah. Yeah. So the music always came first. It was never drugs first. The music
was always first.
And then at some point it kind of got, the lines got blurred a little bit, but
yeah.
So then who, who starts the music first, man? Because one thing is crazy about
you guys music.
I was listening to so much over the past month, trying to like decipher, like,
okay, is there certain be like, where did some of the sounds come from? Like
little things.
Sometimes I hear a little bit of like bone thug, maybe I would hear.
We used to get that so much when we first started.
Did you really?
We used to get compared to bone thugs all the time.
But then sometimes I would be watching, I would almost think of that movie
Gummo or something a little bit. Do you ever see that movie?
I've never, I've never seen it gone. He's seen a lot of movies.
It's super artistic and like, like, uh, bizarre.
It's very bizarre.
And kind of, uh, like off violent kind of like, yeah. I mean, even it's looking
at that picture.
It's disturbing. Like it's a disturbing movie.
And I was like, this shit, it's like, it feels it's, it's music, but it feels
like a disturbance.
That's what you guys start. Like some of y'all stuff feels like that to me.
Yeah.
Like I want to disturb shit.
Yeah. We want to disturb shit.
We want to make people feel weird.
We want to make people feel, I don't know.
At first we were super edgy, like just saying crazy shit, just to see reactions
out of people.
Going for the shock factor.
Shock value, all that thing.
Yeah.
But you must've liked that.
Like there's a thing that you, you know what I'm saying?
Like when, like.
I just like, I like pressing buttons.
Yeah.
For me, I grew up on like, um, three, six have that was, that was my biggest
influence.
And she's like the spine of suicide.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like old Memphis music from like the nineties.
And my uncle put me on that when I was like eight years old and I
