The interview initially focused on collaborations and festival performances, but quickly evolved into a candid discussion of their experiences within the Splatoon series.

Callie recounted Deep Cut's generous tour of Splatlands, a remote region in the game. Shiver's response, "I hope you appreciated it. We know where the Splatlands shine better than anyone," highlights the group's intimate knowledge of the area.
