32 Questions For Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

If you're not yet familiar with Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., you're in luck: allow us to introduce you to their immensely pleasurable latest single "James Dean," a wistfully melancholic synth-pop gem that extends an impressive run of catchy tunes since the band first began in 2010. Daniel Zott and Josh Epstein are the two guys behind the band (no relation to the NASCAR hero), and they stopped by BuzzFeed LA to play some music and answer some very ~important~ questions. This is what we learned.
1. How did you guys come up with the name of the band?
Josh: We were both in different bands before this, and we wanted to come up with a name that was so ridiculous that we could do anything we want, musically. This was around the time where every band's name was called Crystal something, or Neon something, and we were talking about how much of a hindrance it is to bands, like changing their sound. Because once you have a sound and you sound like something, then it kind of sticks. So then this band became the band that we were in, and now we have the dumbest name in the world.
2. Your new song "James Dean" talks about how cool he is; who else is super cool to you?
Josh: Thom Yorke is like the nerdiest, coolest guy in the world. We always talk about this: It must be hard to be Radiohead, because you are the coolest thing in the world, the band at least, and then to have a normal day, if nothing you do is cool during the day, it's like, oh. I imagine everything he does is cool.
Daniel: People would not want to buy his records if they saw him walking through McDonald's.
3. Favorite music video?
Josh: I'm really showing my age here, but "Thriller."
Daniel: Yeah, it's a pretty typical answer, but nothing really beats that.
4. First album you ever bought?
Daniel: Boyz II Men Cooleyhighharmony.
Josh: I want to say Pearl Jam Ten.
5. Last show you went to?
Daniel: Katy Perry, Prismatic Tour.
Josh: He went in Detroit, and I actually went to the one in LA. But last I went to see this band called Mosco Rosco.
6. What song would you pick to play as your entrance music?
Josh: I would go "Regulator."
7. Favorite word?
Josh: I know what Dan's favorite word is. "Asinine."
Daniel: My dad used to say it.
8. Favorite curse word?
Josh: I'm going to be controversial and say "c*nt."
Daniel: I hate that word.
Josh: I know, but it's got a special power, more than any other word. You can call someone anything and it won't really offend them, but if you call someone a c*nt, that's like a real thing.
Daniel: Shit.
9. Favorite vegetable?
Josh: Eggplant
Daniel: I was going to say eggplant.
10. What do you normally eat for breakfast?
Josh: Every morning I have the exact same thing. I cook some onions, bacon, chopped up with some curry paste, then I add peppers, eggs, and cheese. So I have a little curried bacon scramble.
Daniel: I do a lot of scrambled eggs, with my own hash browns. I keep it plain.
11. Favorite emoji?
Daniel: I don't really have a favorite, but I think the last one I sent is that dancing marimba girl.
Josh: I'm next level with emojis. I actually now have this thing where I have emojis of my own face and I'll send those to people.

Speaking to the new issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, Swift said that she and her friends often talk about the inequality between men and women.
"My girlfriends and I talk a lot about feminism and the inequality between the way men and women are talked about," she said. "The kind of things we say are: 'Why is it mischievous, fun and sexy if a guy has a string of lovers that he's cast aside; loved and left?'
"Yet, if a woman dates three or four people in an eight-year period, she is a serial dater and it gives some 12-year-old the idea to call her a "slut" on the internet? It's not the same for boys. It just isn't, and that's a fact."

Swift said: "Her perspective has truly shaped me in the past couple of years. She is just so enthusiastic about life, about other women. She is like a hug in the form of a person."
