What's the worst "day job" you've ever had?
Chris Boehk: I'd have to say the worst day job would have to be my very first -- telemarketing. I was attempting to sell photography and I wasn't having any luck. When I went on the first break after 2 hours, I just kept walking out the door and went home.
What is the dumbest fashion trend of the last hundred years?
Chris Boehk: When kids in the '80s used to roll their jeans up real tight around their ankles -- I've heard it called a California Roll. That was some ugly shit.
Given the choice, would you rather stake your life on your ability to quickly solve a complex mathematical equation, or attempt to fight/escape from a large grizzly bear? Why?
Chris Boehk: I would attempt the mathematical equation. My minor in college was math, so I feel confident that I could differentiate a function or what have you. On the other hand, I have no experience fighting big, hairy mammals, unless it's my brother.
What's your favorite video/computer game? Don't have one? How about board games?
Chris Boehk: I'd have to say Pac-Man. I love that game, especially if it's one of the ones that lays flat like a table (Coctail table style -- Ed.). I have very fond memories of playing Pac-Man in Pizza Hut restaurants when I was a kid.
If you could elect to never, ever, ever have to kiss one particular person now living, who would that person be?
Chris Boehk: I would never want to kiss the woman that played "Momma" in the movie Throw Momma from the Train.
You are able to get away with murder once, and only once. Who, if anyone, do you kill?
Chris Boehk: Wow, there are so many…actually. Two people come to mind -- the Olsen twins from Full House. Man, did I hate them and that show. Everything out of their/her mouth was so cute and the audience would do this lame giggle, makes me wanna puke.
Paper or plastic? Why?
Chris Boehk: Definitely plastic. The plastic bags have the nice little handles and can be used for little carrying bags at a later date.
You're stuck at my house. It's your turn to cook. What meal do you cook me?
Chris Boehk: Well, that depends. If it's just a friend thing, then it would be what I cook for myself all the time -- spaghetti with some red sauce from a jar. Now, if I was trying to get into your pants, then I'd probably exert a little more effort and fix something like lasagna.
If you could make a rock 'n' roll porn movie, who would be your two co-stars?
Chris Boehk: Samantha Fox and Lil' Kim, because they're both so damn naughty!
What's the most evil thing in the world?
Chris Boehk: Onions! Oh God, they're terrible. They're in everything! AAAAHHHH!
You have the power to bring one famous dead person back to life. Who's it gonna be?
Chris Boehk: Jesus. I would bring back Jesus. I've got a lot of questions that I need answers to.
What was the last pet name used by you to refer to your someone special? What was the last pet name your someone special used to refer to you?
Chris Boehk: Pooh and Porky.
Was Betsy Ross hot for George Washington?
Chris Boehk: Of course! Why wouldn't she be? He was the first President, he has his face on the quarter and the one dollar bill, he was the leader of the armed forces during the Revolutionary War -- that's quite a lot for one guy. Plus, with the wooden teeth and all, he must have been a real stud.
What "official version" of a historical event do you most suspect to be a load of crap?
Chris Boehk: That would have to be Moses parting the Red Sea. I think Moses just found a spot that was dry at low tide.

Austinites We Talked About Murder share a few members with labelmates The Search For Saturnalia, but their sound is all their own. Chris plays bass and sings for 'em. WTAM recently released their first CD -- a self-titled six track EP we've been enjoying for a month or so now. According to our own Jenn Sikes, "the grittier stuff that these guys deliver makes you feel clean all over -- in a sweaty sort of way." Without going too deep into Jenn's hygiene regimen, we're going to assume that's a good thing.
