00:00Watch The Vampire Lestat After Dark on AMC Plus or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:11Previously on the show formally titled Interview with the Vampire.
00:15So, Mr. Dulac, how long have you been dead?
00:18The year was 1910.
00:20Louis, let me introduce you to Mr. Lestat de Leoncore.
00:23What exactly is the nature of your relationship with my brother, Monsieur Leoncore?
00:27I can swap this life of shame.
00:28Swap it out for a dark gift.
00:31Be my companion for all eternity.
00:34He had a way about him.
00:35Preternaturally charming, occasionally thoughtful.
00:37He was my murderer, my mentor, my lover and my maker.
00:40All of those things at once.
00:42Claudia was everything.
00:44The life of a vampire has its challenges.
00:50Can an immortal meet mortality?
00:53Theoretically, it can be done.
00:55But could it be done by us to him?
00:58Paris was an awakening for Louis.
01:00Paris was many things in those days.
01:04Bonjour, mon amour.
01:06Are you schizophrenic, Louis?
01:08I could feel the movement of air with his movements.
01:11His breath on the back of my neck.
01:13We were on trial for murder.
01:15Love has always been difficult for me.
01:17My first paramour.
01:18Nicolas Delafonte, a violinist.
01:24You left him there so he could destroy it.
01:31Yes.
01:32You saved Louis.
01:33Banishment.
01:35But not her.
01:37Who made you?
01:38His name was Magnus.
01:41He took me from my room in Paris as I kicked and screamed.
01:44The light's going out of your blue eye.
01:47I've come to kill you.
01:48I have the blood of Akasha in me.
01:51He didn't save you.
01:53Lestat did.
01:55I'm guessing you haven't heard from my maker.
01:57I shouldn't have left you alone with him.
01:58Make it up to me.
01:59We'll do a follow-up book.
02:01No companion enough for myself now.
02:02I'm sorry I don't have much time.
02:04I'm in the middle of rehearsing.
02:05I'm going on tour.
02:06We'll just need about 50 more years of practice.
02:23I'm a little killer.
02:25I'm a lonely one.
02:28I'm a children of your spine.
02:30Telling you to run.
02:31I'm a little shadow.
02:33I'm a last line.
02:35I'm a past and the future.
02:37The last of the sutures are cool and dead.
02:39Where the rock and roll is.
02:41Where they get tame.
02:44Where the heart of me love and the face of the mud.
02:46Where they're stupid, right?
02:49Bang, bang.
02:50Bang, bang.
02:51Bang, bang.
02:53Bang, bang.
02:55I'll fall down.
02:58Burn the ground.
03:03Bang, bang.
03:06Burn the ground.
03:09Burn the ground.
03:13B.g.
03:14B.g.
03:15B.g.
03:15B.g.
03:16B.g.
03:16B.g.
03:17Hmm.
03:18C'est cool.
03:33I don't think I would.
03:51The House wishes to extend its gratitude to the gathering for your compliance with the unorthodox prerequisites of tonight's event.
04:00Furthermore, we wish to reiterate that the anonymity that you have granted us will be given to you individually as
04:07well as to any institutions that you are representing.
04:11Stating the obvious, we are not here and neither are you.
04:18Lot one of two, the master recordings of the complete works of the Vampire Lestat de Leoncore, which includes his
04:262025 self-titled album, The Vampire Lestat,
04:30additional session tracks that were discarded in the final assemblage of the album, original handwritten scores and private recordings by
04:37the Vampire Lestat himself,
04:39which include a song cycle in the classical vein set to the poetry of Baudelaire.
04:47Before we begin the bidding, I perform the following action.
05:03We will begin the bidding at 1yuan. Do I hear 1yuan?
05:10B-U-N.
05:13Sold. To the gentlewoman. Third row. Good spirit.
05:19Lot number two. A music box. Curated by the Vampire Lestat himself. A 1978 Fernando Marchani Corinto sideboard.
05:31Inside a Rosner and Zun Mott turntable with Bialab 90 speakers. Two temperature controlled wine cabinets.
05:41One holding a bottle of Niport 1863 port wine. The other with a magnum of blood from the curator himself.
05:49The upper level. A singular vinyl pressing of the complete works of the Vampire Lestat de Leoncore,
05:58previously delineated, along with 111 albums of audio best described as an omniscient history of the events of the 2025
06:08album in supporting tour
06:10and the consequential global catastrophes that sprung from said Alba Mentor as narrated by the Vampire Lestat himself.
06:19The collection has been named The Failures. We will begin the bidding at 50 million yuan.
06:29If you are hearing this now, you must be a very privileged individual.
06:34You could have fed a small nation for years while they paved over the rubble.
06:39You bought my box instead. I like you already.
06:44So let's begin the medal. For I could and should have ended it there. My tour. My hedonistic pursuit of
06:51extremity. All of it.
06:54And had I done so, the regretful dead and the traumatized still alive would be somewhere other than they are
07:01today.
07:02And I am not saying that the attempted extinction of the Y chromosome across the continents was all my fault.
07:08Now that would suggest a level of self-importance even I'm not comfortable with.
07:12But upon reflection, I made a contribution.
07:17It was the spring of 2025. A good nation was making itself great again. Again.
07:27And every vampire, those converting and those enduring, well, they were doing exactly as they pleased.
07:37The End
07:38The End
07:39The End
07:40The End
07:42The End
07:42The End
07:43The End
08:04Oh, oh, oh, oh.
08:14Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
08:21Grab a long face, my pretty baby.
08:25I've got long face, come up reason.
08:29Remember those things that doesn't faze me?
08:36I'm an actor and I make her.
08:40I get fat or when we break her.
08:45What does it matter who I take her?
08:49Naturally, I made the band after myself.
08:53And the four that backed me played their parts as instructed.
08:56There was Larry, the front man made side man choking his guitar neck nightly wishing it was mine.
09:03Brother Alex, the more talented seedling, straight edged in half the fun.
09:09Salamander, bassist, dumb, shockingly dumb.
09:13And TC, the abandoned bride of a dozen should have died in art school bands, keeping us all in the
09:20dirty pocket.
09:22We dropped songs on the streams and booked intimate venues to induce what Jen's snooze called FOMO.
09:27They came for cosplay, left converted, and I baptized them, the beautiful unwell.
09:33And yet, here we were, in the inn of the stooges and the stripes.
09:39Thirty performances notched and already resting on the Alps of adequacy.
09:43Unacceptable.
09:45Un piano.
10:08Hello.
10:09Hello.
10:10Welcome to Detroit.
10:12Lovely city.
10:13Your song sucks.
10:14They give you the feedback.
10:40Oh yeah.
10:41Oh yeah.
10:55Oh yeah.
11:01Oh yeah.
11:03Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh!
11:33and no one ever.
11:35You sign the checks there.
11:37I do, I do sign the checks.
11:38Sign this.
11:38The tambourine tomorrow is rehearsed and perfected.
11:41What am I saying?
11:43You're not in Corvallis.
11:44You're buying the wife early retirement
11:45and her lawyer a lick, but who's the pen?
11:48But it's funny because it's blood and I'm a vampire.
11:51Notaries in Oregon don't notarize in red ink.
11:54There's the band and there's the shell
11:56that protects the band from the world's envy.
11:59Our band shell was Christine Clare.
12:02She hired, fired, dictated, and castrated
12:06with extreme prejudice.
12:09Try your best not to be you tonight.
12:09We want the car.
12:11No.
12:11We'll be good.
12:12Corvallis.
12:14What do you think?
12:17Yay.
12:19All right, Slats, out to go.
12:21I'm going into my vampire dressing room now,
12:24a little draining both ways.
12:27You'll have to guess who gets the fangs
12:28and who gets the vodka bottle.
12:30And yes, it's a vodka bottle.
12:34He did it again.
12:36Fucking asshole.
12:37Did I mention that I was filming a documentary at the time?
12:40A bootless errand helmed by a first-time director.
12:43I've seen a rough cut.
12:45Truthful and daring, with less war and pity.
12:47Anyone see Yarda?
12:49Yarda.
12:50Sky with waters.
12:54Missing a contact again.
12:56Oh.
12:58How many drinks have you had?
13:00One and a half.
13:01Drive to the Burbs, sit by yourself in a booth at Applebee's,
13:03order the usual.
13:04Big tip, meet us back in the city.
13:07Now, you'd think a 54-city rock tour would be a wonderful cover for a blood drinker.
13:11Hide your keel up on the bus,
13:13wave to the morgue reports in the rearview mirror,
13:15that kind of thing.
13:16But niche celebrity is a hunter's handicap,
13:19and a sloppy night in Corvallis made urgent the need for a body double.
13:23Oh, what?
13:23His name was Yarda Klapek,
13:26and the Albanian gangsters Christine hired to find my doppelganger
13:29found him working construction in the Czech Republic.
13:32Three inches shorter than your velvet mouth, narrator,
13:35we fit him for lifts, blue eye contacts, and a wig.
13:39And otherwise, let him be Neanderthal me.
13:42I hunted this way, and we sent him that way,
13:44and every sad photograph uploaded to reddit or discord
13:47of Yarda eating up tuna melt by himself
13:50only confirmed for most.
13:52Just what they already believed.
13:55Let's go!
13:55That I, the Vampire Lestat, was Daniel Malloy's fictitious creation.
14:00And the Vampire Lestat the band was fronted
14:03by a bricklaying karaoke fanatic from Ostrova.
14:06Nothing but a desperate cash grab at the end of a chuggy vampire fad.
14:10And I've only myself to blame for the timing,
14:12having locked us in an attic for a year plus perfecting our sound.
14:16A sound I hope would counter Mr. Dulac's portrayal of me
14:19as a mayonnaise villain with sociopathic tendencies.
14:24I'll be beside the point, because the point was,
14:27the point forever is,
14:28I know you're real.
14:29Most of humanity moved on from vampires,
14:32and rather quickly.
14:34Congratulations.
14:35Now go make friends.
14:38They lifted their heads from their algorithmic handmasters,
14:41uttered a collective,
14:42and swipe left.
14:45I am the Vampire Lestat.
14:48I am a god.
14:50Gods
14:51are not
14:52swiped.
14:54The Contessa.
14:56The useful idiot.
14:58Great show.
15:00You left before we started.
15:02Yeah, I figured Spotify some T-Rex
15:04and drag a little oneg from Dr. Fareed Good here.
15:06Say him, Jeff.
15:08I am not here.
15:09Can we mic you?
15:10TC punched the boom again.
15:12Yeah, okay.
15:19So, uh,
15:20you and Louie talking again?
15:23He doesn't return my texts.
15:25Or my telepathy.
15:28I hear he's back in the States.
15:32We good?
15:33We're good.
15:34It's late.
15:40You've been alive and undead for 265 years.
15:43You witnessed the French Revolution firsthand,
15:47the electric light,
15:48penicillin,
15:49two world wars,
15:49the atomic bomb,
15:51the moon landing,
15:52the Berlin Walls...
15:53Joey Chestnut.
15:54What?
15:55He eats hot dogs for a living.
15:57He's extraordinary.
15:58I hope to meet him one day.
15:59Was there a question?
16:00Having accumulated profound wisdom
16:01and experience through the dark gift of immortality,
16:04why have you chosen to waste at singing music
16:07no one wants to hear
16:09in pants no one should ever squeeze into?
16:11You ask this question every night.
16:13And I get a different answer every night.
16:14You get me to repeat myself soon enough.
16:16I am sure once you confront your transformational trauma.
16:19I don't have transformational trauma.
16:21That's why these movie producers hired you,
16:24Danny Malloy,
16:25vampire slayer.
16:26They said you requested me.
16:28Absurd.
16:29Oh, as absurd as a documentary about a rock band
16:32posing as vampires
16:33fronted by an actual vampire.
16:36Directed by a vampire
16:37passing as a human.
16:38You tell him for me.
16:41Is it true you were a stutterer as a child?
16:44Louis said you were.
16:51Was he there in 18th century Auvers?
16:53He said you told him that.
16:54Did I threaten Claudia with rape on a train?
16:56Was I in the room when Donna Zetti wrote Don Pasquale?
17:01No, no, and impossible,
17:04because I had buried myself underground
17:06for the vast majority of the 1800s.
17:08I wrote what he told me.
17:10I don't have trauma.
17:11I love being a vampire.
17:13And can you drop the fledgling speak and spell?
17:22The dark, dreary, industrial world
17:26has finally submitted to automation.
17:31Laborers stand in their doorways,
17:33hitting their pipes
17:35as their children have pipe
17:37in their drained, empty swimming pools.
17:40Drugstores locked up baby formula
17:42and shaving cream
17:44while Saks ate Barneys,
17:46and someone told everyone
17:48that Lululemon was sexy.
17:51Facts are irrelevant.
17:55Fields are everything.
17:58And the value of human life,
18:01it has never been more arbitrary.
18:04David, Freddy, Prince Rogers,
18:08they're all gone.
18:10And the lights on Tete's ears have dimmed.
18:13Fire coming down the hill.
18:16Water moving in on Nantucket.
18:20No more safe spaces.
18:24It's my era now.
18:30Post Malone and Jelly Roll
18:32playing there tonight.
18:3360,000 for a face tattoo Palooza.
18:36You played an 800 seat venue.
18:38How is it your era?
18:43I'm vain and shallow
18:44and pure an empty seat.
18:45Ask me an easy one.
18:48Is it true your band
18:50was formed on Halloween?
18:57You are listening to
18:59The Failures.
19:01Album 2, Side B.
19:26What do you think?
19:28It's nice.
19:30Nice?
19:30Yeah, it's nice.
19:32I don't see Beyoncé covering it,
19:34but it's nice.
19:37Nice is nothing.
19:39It's nice.
19:40Nice is a balloon.
19:40It's your back, right?
19:41A flower box is nice.
19:43It's nice.
19:43You got yourself a nice place.
19:45It's a nice word.
19:46And it says everything I wanted to express.
19:49Don't be a bitch about it.
19:52You should come visit.
19:54I have a space above the bed
19:56in one of the guest rooms
19:57I can't find a painting for.
19:59Oh, a guest room?
20:01You want me to come and see your guest room?
20:03It's an affluent neighborhood.
20:05Old money,
20:07young professionals,
20:08a smattering of Christe de Troste van, baby.
20:10Good eating.
20:14Same potholes,
20:15but no hurricanes,
20:17no witches.
20:20Everyone mangles French
20:21just like you do.
20:23Come to me.
20:24Montreal.
20:26I am he,
20:27and he is me.
20:30That's baggage here.
20:32I get it.
20:32I get it.
20:34Besides,
20:35there's an Olmstead Park nearby
20:37if I get homesick,
20:38and there's a
20:40garage band
20:41rehearsing across the street
20:42who call themselves,
20:44of all things,
20:46Satan.
20:47They call themselves,
20:48of all things,
20:49Satan?
20:50Satan's night out.
20:52Satan's night out?
20:53Out.
20:54Satan's night out.
20:55Okay.
20:56It makes sense.
20:57Louis,
20:57do you know someone
20:58called Daniel Malloy?
21:02Uh...
21:03I burned his laptop!
21:04I didn't know
21:05he had it saved in the cloud.
21:06I only found out
21:07it was coming out
21:07a month ago.
21:08You've known for a month,
21:09and you talk about
21:10me and it to a mortal?
21:11Well, yeah.
21:12Uh, yeah.
21:13Gonna...
21:13You know?
21:14No, I don't know, Louis.
21:16Please,
21:17explain yourself.
21:18It's gonna be here
21:19and gone in a minute.
21:20No one reads anymore.
21:21Ne stat,
21:22you know,
21:23whatever.
21:24100%.
21:25But, Armand,
21:26he's just mysterious.
21:28Yeah,
21:28there's layers.
21:29You're killing his
21:30toile at the Louvre?
21:31Hey,
21:32all the boomers

21:34to go see
21:34the other good woman

21:37I skipped that
21:37and I would help you

21:39in the corner of the room.
21:41Hmm.
21:43I would do it.
21:44You have to get it.
21:46I would kill it.
21:48I would kill it.
21:49I would kill it.
21:50I would kill it.
21:50And I would kill it.
21:55I would kill it.
21:55The Statman.
21:57He would have had to burn
21:58the French
21:58on the Rural Street.
22:00100%.
22:00How many wildsleeves
22:02are there?
22:02Huh?

22:05There's 10% of it.
22:05No, don't you!
22:11Huh.
22:14Oh.
22:15I know what infinitesimal means.
22:19It was raining.
22:20No.
22:21No.
22:22Never
22:26fucking
22:27layup!
22:29Not a harlequin.
22:30Your sources
22:31are your sharpens.
22:33Your editor
22:34is your priest.
22:36Don't go to the F.
22:38Jesus out!
22:40Why must you complicate it?
22:43We got two weeks!
22:45Can you please?
22:48Hello.
22:51Oh, I want to put
22:53full-size bar.
22:54Is that it?
22:56Is that it?
22:57Thank you!
23:00Your camera
23:01is not period correct.
23:03I have a peanut allergy.
23:05Well, allergies
23:05are delusional.
23:07Take the mounts.
23:08You'll take
23:09whatever I give you.
23:11Whatever I give you.
23:32client cancer.
23:34What, are you alive?
23:34I'll give you.
23:36I'll give you.
23:37Hey, come on.
23:38I'll give you a peanut Unters.
23:40I'll give you a kartson.
23:41I'll give you a kartson.
24:03What the fuck?
24:05G.
24:06Minor.
24:07Slash.
24:09Ow!
24:11This is in 1979.
24:12Bela Lugosi is not dead.
24:14You don't need to finger her for five bars.
24:18You're hurting her.
24:20Is that her neighbor?
24:22Apologies for the squire.
24:24My man Atura will come in the morning with your replacement.
24:28And a new front door.
24:31More frequent showers?
24:38What was the question again?
24:41Why music?
24:42Hey!
24:43Hey!
24:45Why now?
24:46Dude, that was sick.
24:48What are we doing here?
24:51We're doing a rewrite.
24:54So this whole tour is just some ironic reaction to my book.
25:00Who better to refute the book than the man who wrote the book?
25:04Hmm.
25:05The songs are my story.
25:07Your documentary, The Liner Notes.
25:09Liner Notes?
25:10I won two Pulitzers.
25:11I'm taking this thing to can.
25:13Okay?
25:14I'm going to be slapping Chris Rock and stroking my Oscar.
25:19The brat sings.
25:20The brat dies.
25:21The great laws are clear on this.
25:24More exposure for us.
25:26More risk for us.
25:27More risk for us.
25:31He sings for himself.
25:34Make more.
25:36Only a coven leader can make more.
25:38The great laws are clear on that.
25:40First the book, now the singer.
25:43This is chaos.
25:44It doesn't be the share of it.
25:46If he comes to your people, kill him.
25:57You used to find.
26:02Here we go.
26:13Here we go.
26:23Let's go.
31:38Which one of you is OD'd before?
31:42What do you do?
31:43What did she take?
31:45Not her.
31:47Me.
31:47Get her on the ground.
31:50I've lied.
31:53Ecstasy.
31:55LSD.
31:56What the hell happened up there?
32:01What the hell were you doing?
32:03I should have quit right there and then.
32:06Would have been a lovely footnote to my life.
32:09The band.
32:10But the muses were just beginning.
32:14You done this to me?
32:16What are you doing?
32:19I lost myself on stage for a moment.
32:23Seems you still lost.
32:26This song's gonna kill you.
32:27You know that, don't you?
32:29I can't die.
32:30Everything dies.
32:32You die.
32:33I die.
32:34She dies.
32:36She dies.
32:38Oh, he dies bad.
32:42I'm immortal.
32:43Yeah, you kill some wolves and fall in love.
32:46Get the gift.
32:47Fall in love.
32:48Go to ground.
32:49Get dug up and fall in love.
32:51You like some wet clothes and a coin-op dryer.
32:54Just 265 years round and round.
32:58Why are you so sad?
33:00Thousands of fans loving you.
33:03I want millions.
33:05And that'll top off that heart of yours.
33:09Billions.
33:11Then why you always gotta make it so hard for someone to give it to you?
33:15Huh?
33:17Who told you that?
33:18Don't worry.
33:20They coming.
33:22Who's coming?
33:23Oh, they gonna tell you themselves.
33:27Who's coming?
33:29Great show, didn't I?
33:30Who?
33:34You are listening to The Failures.
33:37Album 5, Side B.
33:39If you take nothing else away from your exorbitant purchase, heed this advice.
33:45Never play two nights in Detroit.
33:49You'll wind up in Windsor with a broken orbital bone listening to transactional sex through
33:53the adjoining walls.
33:55How I came to this squalid real estate is the premise of Side B Album 5, so...
34:04Come.
34:06Now the boutique hotel we were staying at was having a grandish opening that night and the
34:10band was asked to lend its celebrity status to the event.
34:13Don't tell me to pose.
34:15Fuck you!
34:16There was a red carpet, a pap line, and a vampire DJ of some renown seducing corporate
34:22employees, provincial influencers, and party crashing beautifully unwell.
34:27I was having sex in an elevator with Dee and the girl I had just overindulged myself
34:32with early in the night.
34:34Actually, that happens later.
34:38A lot of things happened that night.
34:40Come on, Dee!
34:41Come on, come on, come on!
34:45The band is inside with Dan and the VIP perch.
34:49I'm giving the paps my pussycat with no idea that I would be in a fang fight less than
34:54an hour later.
34:56No, no, no, no.
34:57I'm getting ahead of myself again.
34:59I arrived fashionably late, of course.
35:02State your name for the camera.
35:04Baby Jinx.
35:05Okay, baby.
35:06Tell me, why do you like the vampire Lestat?
35:09Like I'm gonna be in the movie?
35:10Oh, you're in it now.
35:13I am feeling good.
35:16Surfing the sublime candy-flipped wave of the girl's blood.
35:19Hear him.
35:20Hear that voice.
35:22The girl is feeling good.
35:23Wow.
35:24Riding the wonders of Dr. Fareed's blood transfusion quick pick-me-up cocktail.
35:28Who is this guy?
35:30Cause like, rock and roll, it's dying.
35:32I sat there, soaking up her praise, along with the band, still somehow blind to the vampiric
35:38mysteries of their front man.
35:40So what if the dead and buried past was now a fresh and eager groupie?
35:45It's rock and roll, you know?
35:47Have a nervous breakdown on stage, chat it up with the floating girl on the ceiling you almost killed.
35:51Have sex with her in the elevator.
35:53Ah, I'm still not there yet.
35:56MDMA and LSD.
35:58The Torval and Dean of hallucinogenics.
36:00So then everybody's like, is rock and roll actually dying?
36:04Were you a stutterer as a child?
36:06They walk into the ER, they are like, the doctor.
36:10Unless that's the scalpel.
36:12I'm the scalpel printed t-shirts.
36:15And so he, the scalpel, cuts into rock and roll's heart.
36:20Like he cut into mine tonight.
36:23And he has the heart in his mouth.
36:26He's like, do you wanna fuck?
36:29And rock and roll is like, yes, bitch!
36:32I excuse myself to the men's room.
36:35Didn't read about vampire physiology in Mr. Dulac's memoir, did you?
36:39No mention of the scars on my chest either.
36:42Hair stopping way above my shoulders.
36:45And just for the record, no ticket pocket of mine ever had his initials inscribed onto them.
36:50I mean, these are the editorial wags of an insane person.
36:55Note to self-edit that out in the final version.
36:58Starting again.
37:00Vampire's pee.
37:01We don't do it as often as you do, assuming you're not one of us.
37:04And we generally avoid eco-friendly urinals.
37:07Let's see if you have a little bit of air and your heart to do this.
37:11I see.
37:12I see.
37:12And I see that.
37:17I see.
37:18This is a weirdo.
37:22It's like.
37:23It's like two.
37:23I see.
37:24I see.
37:25And I see.
37:26I see.
37:26I see.
37:26I see.
37:27I see.
37:28I see.
37:29I see.
37:33That's just a life.
37:36I see.
37:36I see.
37:36Her name's Tim. She's Russ.
37:39There.
37:40Russ.
37:42Pronounced.
37:44One you're disrespectful, like silence at a urinal.
37:50He's got a bit crossed when we were minding each other the other night.
37:54Russ here has a hot mouth.
37:58And a strong pelvic floor.
38:00I admire your aim.
38:03Longface sucks.
38:06Russ wanted to apologize.
38:08What? Black licorice?
38:11Why do I have to feel?
38:15I like those ones.
38:17Frankly, Mr. Shankly almost ruined the Queen's death. I apologize. Accept it.
38:24We have a coven out here in Detroit.
38:26Do you?
38:27The Fang Gang.
38:29You want to see a real vampire bar? Come with us.
38:32We have a huge house out past Brightmoor.
38:34Our own farm under the floorboards.
38:37Hmm, sure. What about tomorrow night?
38:40You're on the road tomorrow night.
38:42Yes, it was me being polite.
38:46No, that was you lying.
38:49Eco-friendly urinals.
38:51Good for the planet, so we're told.
38:53Good for vampires.
38:55Hmm.
38:56We chardonnay them.
38:58Hmm.
39:02And then there's regional vampires.
39:06Always trying to make a name for themselves.
39:09I've chardonnay them, too.
39:12Obligations, I'm afraid.
39:13But please do send my most sincere bonjour to your Brightmoorish, Governor.
39:22Lilac.
39:37I have a blind spot when it comes to blood poisoning.
39:40I think a vampire of my stature would know better.
39:43But then there's that old saying.
39:45You fool me once, shame on me.
39:47You fool me twice.
39:48MDMA and LSD are excellent drugs.
39:51Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.
39:54Twirl.
39:55Twirl.
39:56Overshare.
39:57I saw your soul.
39:58I saw yours, too.
40:04Still feeling good.
40:07I went looking for my band.
40:08Looking for sex.
40:10Looking for anything that radiated the fun that I sang about in my song, Long Face.
40:16And then...
40:18Regionals.
40:20Wait, did you say that Long Face sucked?
40:23Long Face sucks.
40:24Does it suck?
40:25I wondered.
40:27Did you have a point?
40:28And then I thought...
40:30Ooh, they want a little scrap with a scalpel.
40:34No worries.
40:35I thought I have the Queen's blood in me.
40:36I could take 20 Regionals at once with the Queen's blood.
40:41Where's the band, Dan?
40:44They called corporate bullshit.
40:48Went to party upstairs.
40:51So I'm scoring dick pills in Mogadishu for a UN peacekeeper.
40:56When in walks Stuart Copeland wearing a kufi and a mouthful of ammo.
41:01So I thought about having sex with Christine.
41:03And then I thought, that's all the way upstairs.
41:06And then I thought, I'm the scalpel.
41:09What does the scalpel do between here and upstairs?
41:14Mr. Deluxe Memoir tiptoed around vampire sex, didn't it?
41:20He and Dan made it out to be this tortured act or obligational foreplay before blood drinking.
41:26That is not the case at all.
41:28It's not the capstone of empiric desires.
41:31That would be the taking of life.
41:32And next would be a good draining, leaving your victim near death unparalyzed for an unhurried escape.
41:38And after that, there's the petticoot, the little drink, the sip.
41:42And after those three, it's sex.
41:45So now you know, the fourth best thing a vampire can do to avoid thinking about the past is to
41:51have sex.
41:52Sex.
41:54And I have had a lot of sex over the years.
41:56It's not all pain and toxicity.
41:58I have an immortal life and I carry with it an immortal erection and I am not ashamed of it.
42:04Sex is fun.
42:05Like the fun I sing about in Longface.
42:07Which, looking back on it now, does suck.
42:12I still have residuals coming in actually.
42:15Carnal pleasure is essential to a vampire's survival.
42:19If only to keep time's baggage from burying you.
42:24Sex with the bellman and Dee and honey trapping baby Jenks.
42:29Probably should have gotten off the seventh floor when I had gotten off.
42:35But I didn't.
42:39I'm getting married in a week.
42:42I'll never forget you.
42:45I'll never forget you.
42:48I'll never forget you.
42:50Law 4.
42:52No vampire shall ever reveal his or her true nature to a mortal.
42:57And let the mortal live.
42:58You do know it's 2025.
43:03Praise the wall, my dear.
43:05You'll not want to see this.
43:09The tooth team.
43:11The fang gang.
43:16I killed a pack of wolves when I was immortal.
43:19I'll most likely tell you about that later as I let it define me for a time.
43:23A normally confining architecture and a thrift store coven galvanized by medieval dogma wouldn't faze me in the least.
43:30I'm building a career that supports my well-being.
43:33But the drug blood in my sex legs and the distracting past my music had unleashed on me put me
43:40at a momentary disadvantage.
43:42I'm in charge of my work-life balance.
43:45Law 4.
43:46As if the Dulac Malloy memoir hadn't outed us all two years ago.
43:49The Dulac.
43:50As if my entire stage show wasn't a bawdy burlesque of is he or isn't he?
43:55As if half the vampire population outside the ruined pool of Detroit wasn't waving the dark gift like red cups
44:02in a piss bar.
44:04Collecting fledglings like they were the booboo dogs.
44:06I mean I haven't even told my band I was an actual vampire.
44:10I was just singing my songs and fucking my food and defending myself from the vibrant life choices I had
44:15made on my way from the Auvergne countryside to the 8th floor of this why bother hotel.
44:20And this is how it was all going to end for me.
44:23We are the fangang.
44:25We are the children of the darkness reborn.
44:30Jesus fucking God.
44:33Our man told the truth if you met him.
44:37What the fuck does that even mean?
44:39I heard there was an after party on the asshole floor.
44:42I like to think I was owed the reinforcements.
44:46Dan and the oddly familiar DJ.
44:49But that's me looking back on it now.
44:51Anything I had done to deserve their timely rescue hadn't happened yet.
44:56I'd be dead I think without Dan.
44:58But then maybe more of the world would still be alive had Dan not rallied his army downstairs.
45:05Consider this sliding door of Dan.
45:08Use your decant my blood and devour my words.
45:24It's hard hiding you're a god.
45:27You're for real?
45:29CCTV, eco-flux toilets.
45:31IMF freezing your accounts because you have the blood of a patricidal queen inside you.
45:36Hello again.
45:38We had to love you.
45:40Telemasker dragged me into that.
45:42And once you reveal yourself you have to be on all the time.
45:46And remember every face you've ever met.
45:48And everywhere you go everyone remembers the thing they said to you in the room that you shared.
45:54Were you a stutterer as a child?
45:59This is why gods prefer hiding in the clouds.
46:03There's nothing there.
46:06But water waiting to fall.
46:15So many opportunities to call it a night that night.
46:19After the song unleashed the muses.
46:23After I saw my first soul.
46:26After I was nearly decapitated in a boutique hotel hallway.
46:32After my vampire nature was revealed to the band and my vampire gift winged me away north of the rivers
46:39off of the country.
46:43But I was saved from such rational thought.
46:47Love will do that to you.
46:54Love will do that.
47:01Love is your whole life!
47:01What if you've done, take up your arms to the band?
47:08I do not want to stop the band.
47:09By my fellow...
47:12Do not make the band and a guy.
47:13Do not make the band and a guy.
47:14Do not make the band.
47:19I got myself into something I can't get out of.
47:25Music's opened up the batch of it,
47:27and I'm not sure if I can close it again.
47:35I'm not really at my best, but...
47:42It's very nice to see you again.
47:49I like what you've done with your hair, Mike.
47:54Mike.
48:02My Gabriel.
48:07It's not much of a reveal, I guess.
48:10I know it's common gossip now,
48:12the first thing one thinks about when my name comes up.
48:16I assume a privileged individual such as yourself
48:20enjoys a little dirt in their sandwich.
48:24So I serve it to you now,
48:27how it felt then.
48:31Fledgling.
48:34Lover.
48:37Mother.
48:40Listen to tracks from the Vampire List ad
48:43wherever you stream music.
48:46If you're still listening after the last hour,
48:49welcome back.
48:50So bring on the music.
48:54Do you kill people?
49:01Let's talk about your mother.
49:06My makeup called for his mama, and I can't.
49:10Give me a million more screams!
49:15You are caught in great danger with the stuff.
49:18You stole my personal position.
49:21You hired my biographer.
49:23The songs are not about you.
49:46You are listening to The Failures, album eight, side A.
49:52You are listening to The Failures, album eight, side A.
49:57The Failures, album eight, side A.
49:58At the top of our first episode, we show a scene that is probably happening in real time after a
50:06bunch of catastrophic events have happened.
50:13If you are hearing this now, you must be a very privileged individual.
50:24What makes this season special is that it's still the same characters that you love and know from the previous
50:29seasons.
50:30We're just putting them in an entirely new world.
50:32And as they do in the books and as we do in this show, like, the world continues to crack
50:36open larger and larger.
50:39Ooh, ooh, ooh.
50:42Just like the plot changes, the whole attitude of the show changes, and we move into this completely crazy rock
50:50and roll world.
50:54He did it again.
50:55A lot of the beauty and elegance that you would usually see him surrounded by is gone.
51:01It feels really grungy and really rough and really raw, and so it was a very fun environment to be
51:07putting him in.
51:13Come to me.
51:14Montreal, I am he, and he is me.
51:18Louis, let's start a FaceTiming, and you're probably going to get the sense that Louis is going to come over
51:22pretty soon.
51:22They'll probably get back together or, like, work it out.
51:25Nice?
51:25Yeah, it's nice.
51:26One of the first conversations I had with Roland and Hannah and the writers was that I think Louis's watched
51:34just a ton of YouTube and it's time off, you know?
51:39Like, cat videos, probably hungrily.
51:44Louis, do you know someone called Daniel Malloy?
51:47Well, the start finds out about the book, and then that completely throws all those plans out of the window.
51:51One of my favorite things about this second season of Interview with the Vampire is that...
51:56I burned his laptop!
51:58I didn't know he had it saved in the cloud.
52:00Louis sets fire to a laptop to try and erase the book, but, like, no one told him about the
52:07cloud.
52:08I only found out it was coming out a month ago.
52:10You've known for a month, and you talk about me in it to a mortal?
52:13Well, yeah, uh, yeah.
52:15Gonna, but, you know...
52:16No, I don't know, Louis.
52:19Please explain yourself.
52:20Both Louis and Lestat are not necessarily happy with the way that either of them were portrayed in the book.
52:25It's like a mix of guilt and probably a sense of vengeance about it.
52:30Lestat sees that book come out, sees what he perceives are lies and distortions, mistruths, and he's like, you know
52:39what, I'm gonna set the record straight.
52:40Was he there in 18th century Auvergne?
52:43He said you told him that.
52:44Did I threaten Claudia with rape on a train?
52:46No.
52:47And impossible.
52:49Daniel Malloy is an investigative journalist of the absolute top shelf.
52:53Who better to refute the book than the man who wrote the book?
52:57He has an incorrigible need to find out what the truth is.
53:02Why do you like the vampire Lestat?
53:04Si el llega a tu pueblo, matale.
53:07I heard there was an after party on the asshole floor.
53:10This isn't just sex, drugs, and rock and roll.
53:13It's sex, drugs, rock and roll, and sucking blood out of people's necks.
53:19You're for real?
53:37Black and the Cool is just a great song.
53:39It's about the first kill that Lestat made after he reconciled with Louis in New Orleans.
53:45Didn't blink, didn't try to run, I got real, I won.
53:52Particularly in episode one, you do see that he's pushing and pushing to get this sort
53:57of moment of grace, to be completely engulfed in the music.
54:02But just as I was about to bridge the bridge with murder and mayhem, something quite surprising
54:09happened.
54:10And that's what he gets from Black Licorice.
54:12He does have his first breakdown of many.
54:16Muses appeared in my mind and in the now around me.
54:20He realizes that he was the one that was holding them back.
54:24So then all of a sudden it cracks open and the real thing starts to appear.
54:28And that sound I had been grinding them for was finally unleashed.
54:34He started it to be, I'm gonna go and tell my story, I'm gonna do a rewrite, this is my
54:39version of Rebence and it's evolved into something different.
54:43He's tapped into his past.
54:55Which one of you's OD'd before?
54:57He's 마지막...
55:06He's since heptioned my mind.
55:06He's brave and hard and was weak.
55:21So...
55:21I'm sorry.
55:22Yes, sir.
55:27Amen.
