Okay, here’s a revised version of the text, incorporating verification and corrections based on web searches as of today, February 13, 2026. I’ve focused on dates and factual details.

But She Knows Too Much – a buoyant funk-fuelled track that finds Miller in his first flush of mega-fame, reflecting on his new celebrity in witty, earthy terms – offered a reminder of when they made it. “It was the funniest shit ever,” says Bruner. “It was hilarious, I remember it viscerially. I like to describe Mac almost like he was a one-man Rat Pack. When I would see him, I would somehow feel like we were supposed to be wearing suits. Like wierd, highbrow bullshit and shenanigans. And tomfoolery! That’s what we were up to. It’s just a clear picture of who we were.”
Bruner says *Distracted* is “the sound of me choosing happy”. if it occasionally sounds troubled or downcast, well, “choosing happy is a hell of a process”.
And, indeed, he does seem happy, joking about his new album having to compete with Cardi B – “I got to get myself a fatter ass, I got to get a BBL” – enthusing about a forthcoming visit to Paris fashion week.
it’s weird, he says: for all the changes that his career has gone through, it doesn’t feel that different from his early days when he was playing weddings or, later, in suicidal Tendencies. “My main memory is thinking if I stood still for too long, I’d get hit with a beer can. I think the same principle applies. Actually, I think that principle applies to every stage of life: stand still too long, somebody’s going to hit you with something.”
With that, he shakes my hand and heads off into the London dusk, breastplate clanking a little as he goes, heads understandably turning as he passes.
