1
00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:19.859
Hi, you're listening to Adventure on W4CY Radio. This is

2
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:23.079
the Pipe Man here on the Adventure's Pipe Man W4CY Radio,

3
00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:23.800
and I'm here with.

4
00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:25.960
Loris the Band. Nice.

5
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.980
So, I'm digging some of these shirts here. I want

6
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:31.589
to start there. First of all, I'm a chocoholic, so

7
00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:33.780
I like the Choclosaurus one.

8
00:00:34.070 --> 00:00:35.130
It's my grandma's shirt.

9
00:00:35.409 --> 00:00:36.009
Is it really?

10
00:00:36.070 --> 00:00:37.149
I inherited it from her.

11
00:00:37.609 --> 00:00:39.850
Really? Yeah. That's a cool story.

12
00:00:39.869 --> 00:00:40.609
But, yeah.

13
00:00:41.070 --> 00:00:44.310
She also liked chocolate. That's a very cool story. So,

14
00:00:44.350 --> 00:00:46.219
do you feel like she's with you all the time

15
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:47.240
while you're wearing that shirt?

16
00:00:47.579 --> 00:00:51.539
I have my grandfather's ring and my grandmother's shirt. That's badass.

17
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:56.340
I love that. So, like, do they like your music

18
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:57.179
that you're bringing?

19
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:58.259
Well, they're not alive anymore.

20
00:00:58.299 --> 00:01:00.640
I know that. But, like, since they're coming with you

21
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:01.700
all the time to shows.

22
00:01:02.219 --> 00:01:03.780
I don't know. They're into different stuff.

23
00:01:04.769 --> 00:01:07.370
Like that's normal, actually.

24
00:01:07.390 --> 00:01:10.170
They support me in whatever I do, but... There you go.

25
00:01:10.269 --> 00:01:11.489
It's not their taste.

26
00:01:11.969 --> 00:01:15.790
There you go. I like that shirt, too. Is that

27
00:01:16.090 --> 00:01:18.209
like a pretty famous place in Knoxville?

28
00:01:18.790 --> 00:01:21.609
They did a David Lynch... Yeah, they did a David

29
00:01:21.650 --> 00:01:26.530
Lynch respect scenario, and this guy brought me the shirt

30
00:01:26.590 --> 00:01:29.859
unexpectedly because he knew what I liked. Nice. Fans showed

31
00:01:29.890 --> 00:01:31.859
up to North Carolina, and I wish I knew his

32
00:01:31.900 --> 00:01:34.250
name to give him props, but... He can know that

33
00:01:34.269 --> 00:01:35.909
I've been wearing this shirt like crazy, so.

34
00:01:36.349 --> 00:01:39.129
I love it. It is a cool shirt. How about yours?

35
00:01:41.069 --> 00:01:44.659
Mine is from Mozambique, and it has elephants on it.

36
00:01:44.909 --> 00:01:45.489
I see that.

37
00:01:46.049 --> 00:01:46.650
I got it there.

38
00:01:47.390 --> 00:01:48.049
You got it where?

39
00:01:48.349 --> 00:01:49.090
In Mozambique.

40
00:01:49.370 --> 00:01:50.469
Oh, that's cool.

41
00:01:50.629 --> 00:01:50.849
Yeah.

42
00:01:51.010 --> 00:01:54.090
So, did you ride an elephant? No. Like, you weren't

43
00:01:54.129 --> 00:01:56.390
required to ride an elephant to get the shirt? It's like,

44
00:01:56.420 --> 00:01:58.159
you ride the elephant, you get a spring shirt.

45
00:01:58.170 --> 00:02:00.799
Oh, yeah, they have elephants there. It has elephants, right?

46
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:01.219
Yeah.

47
00:02:02.099 --> 00:02:02.379
Yeah.

48
00:02:03.579 --> 00:02:07.019
I like getting tourist shirts. It's like one of my passions.

49
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:08.159
That's pretty cool.

50
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:09.520
This one is really good.

51
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:11.199
How many tourist shirts do you have?

52
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.969
I don't know, like probably 200.

53
00:02:13.969 --> 00:02:17.409
See, I kind of do the same thing because I

54
00:02:17.449 --> 00:02:19.289
travel the world and I like try to get a

55
00:02:19.310 --> 00:02:22.789
shirt from every place I've been. So like my closet

56
00:02:22.830 --> 00:02:29.030
consists of 5 million black metal rock t-shirts and then

57
00:02:29.030 --> 00:02:37.710
5 million superhero shirts and 5 million touristy type shirts

58
00:02:37.810 --> 00:02:42.189
and then 5 million surfer shirts. So I'm kind of schizophrenic.

59
00:02:42.870 --> 00:02:43.289
That's acceptable.

60
00:02:43.310 --> 00:02:44.169
Those are just passions.

61
00:02:44.569 --> 00:02:45.240
Exactly.

62
00:02:45.379 --> 00:02:47.180
Those are just passions. You shouldn't feel ashamed.

63
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.680
I don't at all. I'm pretty proud of being schizophrenic.

64
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:57.080
So that's your passion. What's your passion outside of music?

65
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.639
I'm a giant. toy and comic nerd. That's why I

66
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.210
gave you the hang loose when you said superhero shirts.

67
00:03:03.430 --> 00:03:05.189
Alright, so are you DC or Marvel?

68
00:03:05.569 --> 00:03:07.550
I don't like picking favorites. I really love it all.

69
00:03:07.650 --> 00:03:08.930
Oh, high five, man.

70
00:03:08.969 --> 00:03:10.949
Because every time I pick one and the other one

71
00:03:10.990 --> 00:03:12.449
does something sweet, they're all.

72
00:03:12.509 --> 00:03:15.469
Exactly. I don't get the whole DC Marvel thing. I

73
00:03:15.509 --> 00:03:16.099
like all of it.

74
00:03:16.449 --> 00:03:19.270
Some people just like to be like, always have favorites

75
00:03:19.330 --> 00:03:20.719
and numbered lists of everything.

76
00:03:20.740 --> 00:03:21.469
Or pick a side.

77
00:03:21.659 --> 00:03:22.639
Man, just enjoy life.

78
00:03:22.939 --> 00:03:25.379
Or pick a side. I have to pick a side. No,

79
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.090
you fucking don't. You can do whatever you want.

80
00:03:28.189 --> 00:03:28.810
I agree with you.

81
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:33.960
You know? Who is your favorite superhero that you would pick?

82
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:36.360
Well, we wrote a song about Sentry.

83
00:03:36.780 --> 00:03:37.699
Okay, there you go.

84
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.479
He's a very compelling character. He's got his own dark side.

85
00:03:40.500 --> 00:03:43.020
He's his own worst enemy. Everybody can relate to that,

86
00:03:43.060 --> 00:03:43.460
I would think.

87
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:49.689
Absolutely. So my radio show personality, Pipe Man, is patterned

88
00:03:49.789 --> 00:03:53.050
after Dark Knight. Oh, okay. More so than Batman. I

89
00:03:53.090 --> 00:03:58.189
like both. But Dark Knight's a little more me than Batman.

90
00:03:58.830 --> 00:04:02.500
And I love Batman and Arrow because they have no

91
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:06.960
metahuman powers. They have no alien... They're not aliens. They're

92
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.520
just people that had some fucked up shit happen to

93
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:11.159
them and they turned into a badass.

94
00:04:11.210 --> 00:04:15.069
But they have literature powers... They have the literature power

95
00:04:15.169 --> 00:04:19.170
of overcoming inhuman, insane obstacles that no human can overcome.

96
00:04:19.370 --> 00:04:19.810
Exactly.

97
00:04:19.829 --> 00:04:21.750
So what's the riddle there? They have no powers, but

98
00:04:21.769 --> 00:04:23.819
they can do things that humans couldn't possibly do. It's

99
00:04:24.339 --> 00:04:26.000
a bit of a mind fuck. I like them too.

100
00:04:26.660 --> 00:04:28.639
That is a good way of putting it too.

101
00:04:28.899 --> 00:04:29.779
James Bond also.

102
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.319
You know, funny story. I was just talking about that

103
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.740
last night. I bought a car when we first had

104
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:41.790
cell phones came out. And you got a free phone

105
00:04:41.819 --> 00:04:44.209
with the car. And so they said to me, do

106
00:04:45.470 --> 00:04:49.850
you want a mobile phone or a car phone? I'm like,

107
00:04:50.490 --> 00:04:52.209
mobile phone? What do I need that for? I want

108
00:04:52.230 --> 00:04:54.370
a car phone so I can look like James Bond.

109
00:04:55.269 --> 00:04:57.910
And I was calling people. Like my first bill was

110
00:04:57.949 --> 00:05:01.480
like $ 750 because I was calling everybody like, guess where

111
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:03.300
I'm calling you from? I'm in my car.

112
00:05:03.459 --> 00:05:05.279
We used to call that the Zach Morris phone.

113
00:05:06.060 --> 00:05:06.459
Nice.

114
00:05:08.259 --> 00:05:09.420
RIP Mr. Building.

115
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.639
I know, right? I loved that show. It's gone.

116
00:05:14.149 --> 00:05:15.670
Yeah, like last week.

117
00:05:16.209 --> 00:05:16.610
Really?

118
00:05:16.629 --> 00:05:17.029
Yeah.

119
00:05:17.209 --> 00:05:18.129
It just happened?

120
00:05:18.149 --> 00:05:18.910
Yeah, just last week.

121
00:05:19.129 --> 00:05:19.889
Holy shit.

122
00:05:19.910 --> 00:05:21.800
The beloved Mr. Building is no longer with us.

123
00:05:22.189 --> 00:05:26.029
Oh, man, that sucks. So did you like the revised

124
00:05:26.149 --> 00:05:28.990
version of Saved by the Bell? I think the original

125
00:05:29.009 --> 00:05:29.670
was better.

126
00:05:30.029 --> 00:05:31.889
I only liked it as a cultural icon, but I

127
00:05:31.930 --> 00:05:34.350
didn't really catch it. I was in my young man

128
00:05:34.389 --> 00:05:37.129
metal phase, so I wasn't catching that kind of material.

129
00:05:37.189 --> 00:05:40.269
But as a fan of just pop culture in general,

130
00:05:40.310 --> 00:05:41.670
I'm well aware of it at this point, and I

131
00:05:41.670 --> 00:05:42.860
have friends who love it a lot.

132
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:43.980
There you go.

133
00:05:46.019 --> 00:05:46.339
Oh, yeah.

134
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.939
He's been gone for quite some time. He had some issues.

135
00:05:49.259 --> 00:05:53.769
My piano teacher's daughter got Screech to come to her

136
00:05:53.889 --> 00:05:54.689
birthday party.

137
00:05:55.170 --> 00:05:55.769
Really?

138
00:05:56.269 --> 00:05:56.569
Wow.

139
00:05:57.290 --> 00:05:59.829
What was he like in person? Let me tell you

140
00:05:59.870 --> 00:06:00.410
what he was like.

141
00:06:00.490 --> 00:06:03.110
I wasn't even there, but I remember Eric describing it

142
00:06:03.170 --> 00:06:04.209
in like sixth grade.

143
00:06:04.230 --> 00:06:05.529
Don't say derogative. All right.

144
00:06:05.550 --> 00:06:07.769
I won't say anything. I'll let Eric speak for himself.

145
00:06:08.529 --> 00:06:09.649
What was Screech like?

146
00:06:10.060 --> 00:06:11.339
Tell us about Screech.

147
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:11.939
I want to know it.

148
00:06:13.740 --> 00:06:15.579
I got so scared that you were going to say

149
00:06:15.620 --> 00:06:19.879
something horrible about a dead person. I mean, only if

150
00:06:19.899 --> 00:06:25.899
you care about physical appearance. No. We missed the guy.

151
00:06:26.060 --> 00:06:26.740
Screech was great.

152
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.300
He was awesome. I wish I had a chance to

153
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.170
meet him as well. I felt sorry for him because

154
00:06:32.930 --> 00:06:35.550
he was doing birthday parties. It just made me sad.

155
00:06:35.610 --> 00:06:39.529
But we did a birthday party on our first tour. Oh,

156
00:06:39.550 --> 00:06:40.250
that's true. That was.

157
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:44.259
The first show of our first tour ever, actually nearby

158
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:45.160
here in Tracy.

159
00:06:46.420 --> 00:06:49.839
Tell me the story about that actual show at the

160
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:50.699
birthday party.

161
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:55.300
Well, it was our old singer, Adam, he had a

162
00:06:55.339 --> 00:07:01.060
cousin named Nessa. I think it was like her 14th birthday, maybe.

163
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:07.189
And she wanted us to play her birthday song. And

164
00:07:07.250 --> 00:07:09.069
it was kind of on the way to our first show,

165
00:07:09.110 --> 00:07:13.329
which was in Gilroy, an attire shop. So the day before,

166
00:07:13.389 --> 00:07:18.339
we stopped by sweet little cousin Nessa's house to play

167
00:07:18.379 --> 00:07:21.220
the show. And then we set up by their pool.

168
00:07:21.660 --> 00:07:23.339
And it was like her and two of her friends

169
00:07:23.420 --> 00:07:25.680
and her parents. We played the show.

170
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:26.459
And then.

171
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.839
Yeah, I thought it was 50 bucks. Well, 100 bucks.

172
00:07:31.620 --> 00:07:33.579
Her mom gave us 100 bucks. We're like, no, no,

173
00:07:33.620 --> 00:07:36.829
you're crazy. This is too much money. And then we sat...

174
00:07:37.050 --> 00:07:39.189
We sat in the jacuzzi with her and her friend.

175
00:07:40.529 --> 00:07:43.810
And then that night I took Ambien and thought I

176
00:07:43.850 --> 00:07:46.040
was a wolf and crawled on our trailer and howled

177
00:07:46.060 --> 00:07:46.500
at the moon.

178
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:48.720
That's epic.

179
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.160
That's most nights, though, but that was the first time

180
00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:51.560
it happened.

181
00:07:52.620 --> 00:07:54.680
So I got to tell you something, too. Like, I

182
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:57.660
never talk about band names, but I was laughing to

183
00:07:57.699 --> 00:08:01.600
myself because every time I look up a band that

184
00:08:01.699 --> 00:08:04.519
it's like a pretty common word, I have to type

185
00:08:04.660 --> 00:08:08.560
in the band name. and then the band name and

186
00:08:08.579 --> 00:08:13.449
then the band or so-and-so band in order to find them.

187
00:08:13.730 --> 00:08:16.670
So I kind of laughed and chuckled because you're horse,

188
00:08:16.889 --> 00:08:18.810
the band, so I don't have to worry about doing that.

189
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.459
We were just horse, but then there was a lawsuit

190
00:08:21.500 --> 00:08:23.959
threatened and just sidestepped it.

191
00:08:24.740 --> 00:08:27.379
That's a good way to do it. It's kind of

192
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:29.839
like Green Jello. You know that band?

193
00:08:30.139 --> 00:08:30.680
How could you not?

194
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.279
Exactly. So it's funny. They played at Milwaukee Metal Fest

195
00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:39.059
this year, and I was covering that. And now they

196
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:40.740
have to call themselves Green Jelly.

197
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:43.250
They've been like that since the 90s.

198
00:08:43.299 --> 00:08:44.620
Right, which is stupid.

199
00:08:44.740 --> 00:08:48.259
I have a first edition cassette tape from when I

200
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:50.659
was in sixth grade that still says Jello.

201
00:08:51.070 --> 00:08:51.549
Nice.

202
00:08:51.950 --> 00:08:55.490
I love that because you know what stupid is? Okay,

203
00:08:56.330 --> 00:08:59.639
you can have a pedophile be your representative of your

204
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:03.519
Jell-O brand, but a band can't use the name.

205
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.159
Hey, man, let's not make false accusations. He's a rapist,

206
00:09:07.220 --> 00:09:08.179
not a pedophile.

207
00:09:08.450 --> 00:09:10.870
Okay, you might be right there.

208
00:09:10.889 --> 00:09:20.159
Talking about Cosby? Yeah. I have a lot of mixed

209
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:23.679
feelings about this. I loved him so much as a child.

210
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:24.330
I know.

211
00:09:24.379 --> 00:09:25.210
He was great.

212
00:09:25.389 --> 00:09:27.669
There's always that part that wants to just keep liking it,

213
00:09:27.690 --> 00:09:28.809
but then you put it on and you're like.

214
00:09:31.090 --> 00:09:36.190
He's in the gynecologist's office going, Oh my God.

215
00:09:36.509 --> 00:09:39.840
Yeah, exactly. And you know, the thing is, I stopped

216
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:43.379
liking him before that all happened because I found out

217
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:48.509
he was a racist. So... Are you racist or are

218
00:09:48.529 --> 00:09:52.120
you a rapist? Maybe you're both. I don't know.

219
00:09:52.779 --> 00:09:53.679
Don't know. No comment.

220
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:57.460
Exactly. But what was cool about the show was, first

221
00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:59.559
of all, it was one of the most fun shows

222
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:01.879
I've ever been to in my life. I've been to thousands.

223
00:10:03.059 --> 00:10:06.399
We had noodles in the mosh pit, okay? Like the

224
00:10:06.460 --> 00:10:12.179
water noodle things. And the whole show, he would have

225
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:18.179
the whole place chant, Green Jello Sucks. Green Jello Sucks.

226
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:20.360
I thought it was fun.

227
00:10:20.940 --> 00:10:24.190
I think Primus coined that also for themselves.

228
00:10:24.649 --> 00:10:24.970
Really?

229
00:10:25.309 --> 00:10:27.750
Primus Sucks? Yeah. All the way back to their first album.

230
00:10:27.769 --> 00:10:30.429
They had the shirt, Suck On This. Primus Sucks. That

231
00:10:30.450 --> 00:10:31.090
was their anthem.

232
00:10:31.289 --> 00:10:34.129
I love that. That's cool. I didn't even know that.

233
00:10:34.169 --> 00:10:37.690
I recently had a resurgence of my love for Primus.

234
00:10:37.789 --> 00:10:39.980
It's been many years since I was in my youth.

235
00:10:40.029 --> 00:10:41.480
And it hit me like a truck when I started

236
00:10:41.509 --> 00:10:42.200
listening to it again.

237
00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:45.840
Nice. I love it. And so, what would you say

238
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:51.210
for the three of you? What was the real... impetus

239
00:10:51.289 --> 00:10:53.669
that made you want to be this band?

240
00:10:53.789 --> 00:10:57.460
You asked these two guys, because I joined after, but

241
00:10:57.500 --> 00:10:58.620
before we started touring.

242
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:02.159
I don't know if I remember the impetus.

243
00:11:02.620 --> 00:11:04.120
I will tell you that when I joined, they had

244
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.960
a one-page website that says, We are Horse to Band.

245
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.039
We love Thrice.

246
00:11:08.059 --> 00:11:13.039
Really? Was that on your MySpace, too?

247
00:11:13.340 --> 00:11:15.759
Yeah, it was before MySpace. Our MySpace was epic.

248
00:11:16.990 --> 00:11:20.200
It's coming back. I'm wondering if Tom is going to

249
00:11:20.220 --> 00:11:21.100
still be my friend.

250
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.440
Tom is in blowjob paradise.

251
00:11:26.450 --> 00:11:28.370
So what does it feel to be here at Aftershock

252
00:11:28.429 --> 00:11:32.210
at Danny Wimmer Festival? What does it feel like to

253
00:11:32.250 --> 00:11:34.889
be here at Aftershock at Danny Wimmer Festival?

254
00:11:35.049 --> 00:11:36.970
It's pretty awesome. We like being here. We were really

255
00:11:37.009 --> 00:11:40.279
excited to get invited. And we were down to play

256
00:11:40.299 --> 00:11:41.580
at any opportunity.

257
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:43.600
How did it happen? I don't know.

258
00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:43.990
You tell me.

259
00:11:44.970 --> 00:11:47.529
I think another band couldn't play, and at the last minute,

260
00:11:47.549 --> 00:11:48.309
they let us play.

261
00:11:48.789 --> 00:11:52.710
Did you pay that other band to drop out? No, no, no.

262
00:11:52.789 --> 00:11:54.970
It's not the first time that we took their slot

263
00:11:54.990 --> 00:11:57.389
for something, though.

264
00:11:57.450 --> 00:11:58.190
You're that band.

265
00:11:58.250 --> 00:11:59.870
All we know is our agent said, you want to

266
00:11:59.909 --> 00:12:02.220
do this? We said, fuck yeah, sounds incredible, and we

267
00:12:02.250 --> 00:12:02.539
did it.

268
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:04.419
Is this your first Wimmer Festival?

269
00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:05.340
Oh, yeah.

270
00:12:06.139 --> 00:12:08.200
How's it feel? Hopefully many more. How's it feel? How's

271
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:09.659
Danny Wimmer treat you guys?

272
00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:12.580
We haven't met him yet, but his representatives have been

273
00:12:12.620 --> 00:12:13.330
very nice to us.

274
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:15.830
Our setup is pretty regal. It's nice being here.

275
00:12:16.289 --> 00:12:19.730
Right? That makes it better, right? Because I ask that

276
00:12:19.769 --> 00:12:23.110
question of all artists because I've never, in all the

277
00:12:23.149 --> 00:12:25.860
years I've been covering the Wimmer festivals, I've never heard

278
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:28.549
an artist say a bad thing. What I do hear

279
00:12:28.730 --> 00:12:32.750
is how stress-free it can be, which is so important

280
00:12:32.789 --> 00:12:35.909
to me, because it sucks for artists to go to

281
00:12:35.970 --> 00:12:36.970
festivals sometimes.

282
00:12:37.029 --> 00:12:41.490
Suffering is important to art, but sitting out in the

283
00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:45.200
sun with nowhere to go, and then you just have

284
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.299
four hot bottles of water, and then you've got to play,

285
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:50.820
that's like a fucking nightmare, and a lot of artists

286
00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:51.519
have to do that.

287
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:55.240
Drag your shit across a dusty field.

288
00:12:55.570 --> 00:12:58.470
Yeah, we did an unmentioned event at one point in

289
00:12:58.490 --> 00:13:00.460
the past, and we had to take all our cabs

290
00:13:00.529 --> 00:13:04.279
across a dirt field and load it over a mile. Like,

291
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.980
just a dirt field. You just feel like the scum

292
00:13:08.019 --> 00:13:08.559
of the earth.

293
00:13:10.019 --> 00:13:12.320
I have a visual in my head of that. That

294
00:13:12.340 --> 00:13:13.440
could be like in a movie.

295
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.320
Yeah, that's not even remotely the scenario here. This is,

296
00:13:16.620 --> 00:13:18.740
I don't know, it's respect both ways.

297
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:21.960
It's great. See, that's a good word to use. I

298
00:13:22.019 --> 00:13:25.120
love that because... there definitely should be respect.

299
00:13:25.129 --> 00:13:28.240
Yeah. Well artists like people need to respect the artists

300
00:13:28.259 --> 00:13:30.019
that play, but then also at the same time, the

301
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:31.860
people put on the events, artists need to respect them

302
00:13:31.899 --> 00:13:33.940
for helping them out and treating them good. So yeah,

303
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:36.080
we get that. We've been around a while, so that's

304
00:13:36.100 --> 00:13:36.899
something important to us.

305
00:13:37.070 --> 00:13:40.230
It's hard work. People, I think people don't really realize

306
00:13:40.289 --> 00:13:43.870
how hard it is a, to be an artist B

307
00:13:44.009 --> 00:13:45.629
to put on a festival like this.

308
00:13:45.649 --> 00:13:48.500
Right. Absolutely. It's insane.

309
00:13:48.929 --> 00:13:49.740
Pure chaos.

310
00:13:49.779 --> 00:13:51.669
And the, the, And it's people who just want to

311
00:13:51.710 --> 00:13:54.139
lose their minds, too. So you're trying to have a

312
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.779
very safe, organized event for people who want to cut

313
00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:57.799
the fuck loose.

314
00:13:58.179 --> 00:14:00.259
Yeah, and they're like, oh, what's the big deal? It's

315
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:05.039
just one weekend. No, on Monday, they're already planning Aftershock

316
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:06.960
2027 and starting everything, you know?

317
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:07.960
Got to do it that way.

318
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:11.240
There are no days off. Just like there's no days

319
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.019
off as a band, you know?

320
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.730
Oh, there's days off. You go to the petting zoo.

321
00:14:16.230 --> 00:14:20.840
There you go. Which one do you like to pet best?

322
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:23.799
I'm a bunny fan at this point, but, you know,

323
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:30.340
I pet elephants, goats. Oh, yeah, absolutely. You know, we

324
00:14:30.379 --> 00:14:33.539
pet all the animals. We love all the animals. Is

325
00:14:33.570 --> 00:14:34.879
your favorite elephant?

326
00:14:36.230 --> 00:14:38.710
No, it's probably a quail.

327
00:14:40.070 --> 00:14:43.830
I love that. It's such a unique answer. What do

328
00:14:43.870 --> 00:14:45.110
you love about a quail?

329
00:14:45.850 --> 00:14:48.049
I like how they have that feather on their head

330
00:14:48.090 --> 00:14:51.809
that goes up and they move really funny. They kind

331
00:14:51.850 --> 00:14:57.570
of are like elusive. They move their feet really fast.

332
00:14:57.649 --> 00:14:58.889
They're like a running bird.

333
00:14:59.029 --> 00:14:59.970
Like a roadrunner.

334
00:15:01.750 --> 00:15:04.529
Not like a turkey, though. It's a little different. They

335
00:15:04.590 --> 00:15:06.169
explode out of the brush.

336
00:15:06.190 --> 00:15:09.110
You made me think of something because I want to

337
00:15:09.190 --> 00:15:13.299
let you know. Coming 2028. There you go. I want

338
00:15:13.330 --> 00:15:15.309
to let you know what I saw as I was

339
00:15:15.370 --> 00:15:17.649
walking into the first day of the festival, if I

340
00:15:17.690 --> 00:15:18.850
can find the picture here.

341
00:15:18.870 --> 00:15:20.450
Is it a predatory bird warning?

342
00:15:21.129 --> 00:15:25.090
It has something to do with something he said. That's

343
00:15:25.129 --> 00:15:28.669
what I'm going to give right now. But I do

344
00:15:29.250 --> 00:15:31.419
have it. I have to find it here while we're talking.

345
00:15:31.460 --> 00:15:34.720
But while I'm finding it, why don't you tell everybody

346
00:15:34.740 --> 00:15:38.460
how they can reach out to you, check out all

347
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:41.620
your music, merch, all that good stuff.

348
00:15:41.700 --> 00:15:41.879
How to?

349
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:48.019
First you're gonna want to open your phone i got

350
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.379
that done already stick your thumb on the phone and

351
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:52.899

how you.

353
00:15:53.450 --> 00:15:56.669
Look at it some people open their phone and realize

354
00:15:56.710 --> 00:15:58.009
they forgot to turn it on.

355
00:15:57.929 --> 00:16:03.529

359
00:16:16.210 --> 00:16:17.309
What about TikTok?

360
00:16:19.269 --> 00:16:21.490
Kind of like Band of Horses, but in a different

361
00:16:21.590 --> 00:16:22.730
order with the words.

362
00:16:23.269 --> 00:16:27.179
Yes, there's a different alphabetical display.

363
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:32.220
Just try to remember Band of Horses.

364
00:16:32.460 --> 00:16:35.360
What if you come up with, like, okay, so I

365
00:16:35.379 --> 00:16:39.340
follow this thing on TikTok. And it's this horse, not

366
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:42.799
a real horse, but a dude with a horse hat, head,

367
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:48.200
in a bathtub, playing the drums, and then his band members,

368
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.019
I think they're as horses, too.

369
00:16:50.179 --> 00:16:52.019
Oh, I think I saw one where they did it

370
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:54.919
in a port-a-potty, and they had a saxophone. That was

371
00:16:54.950 --> 00:16:57.610
a good beat, though. That sounds like the Clown Corps band, though.

372
00:17:03.889 --> 00:17:04.339
Oh, you're right.

373
00:17:04.380 --> 00:17:07.380
I think I'm mixing up the two different artists. I'm

374
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:09.980
mixing up the toilet clowns with the bathtub horses.

375
00:17:10.019 --> 00:17:12.500
Yeah, see, you can't do that, okay?

376
00:17:12.660 --> 00:17:15.400
It's disrespectful, but honestly, I haven't researched them enough, so

377
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:16.799
I'm coming from a place of ignorance.

378
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:21.339
You know, that's like mixing up Insane Clown Posse with

379
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:22.960
Horse the Band.

380
00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:26.960
I might do that. That's an easy mistake to make.

381
00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:33.259
What if You guys did a tour with Insane Cloud Posse.

382
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:35.619
I would jump on that in a fucking second.

383
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:39.480
Okay. And then you do dress up as horses and

384
00:17:39.529 --> 00:17:41.490
they spray you with Faygo on stage.

385
00:17:41.549 --> 00:17:41.930
Whatever.

386
00:17:42.589 --> 00:17:43.589
That would be fun, right?

387
00:17:43.609 --> 00:17:47.390
Insane Horse Posse. We got killed by Gwar. We were

388
00:17:47.430 --> 00:17:48.230
murdered by Gwar.

389
00:17:49.049 --> 00:17:52.150
Now, that's epic. Tell me about that.

390
00:17:52.509 --> 00:17:54.950
Dave Brockie told me that he thought I was mentally

391
00:17:55.150 --> 00:17:56.690
disturbed and needed help.

392
00:17:58.009 --> 00:17:58.630
Ha ha ha ha.

393
00:18:01.470 --> 00:18:04.029
Oh, if that ain't the pot calling the kettle black,

394
00:18:04.150 --> 00:18:04.710
I don't know what is.

395
00:18:04.750 --> 00:18:07.650
It was probably the most important compliment of my life.

396
00:18:08.410 --> 00:18:10.589
As a young man who grew up under the cloud

397
00:18:10.630 --> 00:18:12.029
of odorous, that was a big deal.

398
00:18:12.549 --> 00:18:14.029
There it is.

399
00:18:14.109 --> 00:18:16.470
Can I talk about GWAR for a second?

400
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:17.759
Yes, absolutely.

401
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:20.440
So people that go see GWAR, they don't want to

402
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:24.559
see another band. They don't want to see the opening band.

403
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:25.900
It's all about GWAR.

404
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:29.519
So we got really good at dealing with heckling on

405
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:33.490
that tour. But Nathan, he did like the ultimate thing

406
00:18:33.509 --> 00:18:38.430
I've ever seen. And it's very guar. We're in Bellefontaine, Ohio.

407
00:18:39.630 --> 00:18:43.420
We're getting heckled the shit out of us. And this

408
00:18:43.460 --> 00:18:46.240
guy in the front row is just not stopping. And

409
00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:48.579
Nathan went up to him, grabbed him by the shirt

410
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:52.859
and vomited on his face. And the guy went from

411
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:56.549
heckling to like having the biggest frown you've ever seen.

412
00:18:57.190 --> 00:19:00.009
Covered in vomit. Had to leave the show.

413
00:19:00.390 --> 00:19:01.559
I love that.

414
00:19:01.730 --> 00:19:03.519
And then nobody heckled us after that.

415
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.099
Well, that's better than the story I tell. Like now

416
00:19:07.140 --> 00:19:08.839
you blew away one of my stories.

417
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:11.220
People go to a guar show to get vomited on.

418
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:13.819
You want to hear my heckler story?

419
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:16.940
The same night, though, a guy approached me on a stairwell,

420
00:19:17.460 --> 00:19:19.400
stopped me and said, man, you guys are pretty good,

421
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:23.220
but let me tell you. Nobody likes keyboards, bro.

422
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:24.339
Nobody.

423
00:19:25.099 --> 00:19:28.359
I'll never forget that. That was that night in Bellefonte.

424
00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:30.039
I will never fucking forget that.

425
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:34.769
Oh, my God. So, the story pertaining to you, I'll

426
00:19:34.789 --> 00:19:36.410
hold off for a second, because I do want to

427
00:19:36.470 --> 00:19:39.930
say that one time I interviewed GWAR, it was at Download,

428
00:19:41.210 --> 00:19:44.329
and their shit didn't get there, their costumes. So, the

429
00:19:44.430 --> 00:19:46.470
tour manager comes out and he's like, we're going to

430
00:19:46.509 --> 00:19:51.380
bring Blowthor out, but he doesn't have anything on, so... basically,

431
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:55.079
you've got to not let anybody know that it's him. Okay.

432
00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:58.000
So we're sitting at the table, and across the table,

433
00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:03.069
this photographer friend of mine has some gummy bears. So

434
00:20:03.190 --> 00:20:09.009
in the middle of the interview, he goes to them, hey, hey, you,

435
00:20:09.230 --> 00:20:12.400
what is that over there? Give me one of those.

436
00:20:13.420 --> 00:20:17.859
And it was in total Blothar voice. And my friend

437
00:20:17.900 --> 00:20:23.869
had no clue. I mean, because it didn't look like Blothar,

438
00:20:24.289 --> 00:20:27.329
but it didn't register, I guess. And I was just laughing.

439
00:20:27.470 --> 00:20:29.670
I broke character. I was laughing my ass off.

440
00:20:31.069 --> 00:20:33.829
They're amazing. I remember them taking the stage one night.

441
00:20:33.869 --> 00:20:35.609
I won't say who, but one of them walked by

442
00:20:35.650 --> 00:20:37.849
me and he had his helmet on, but no makeup

443
00:20:37.930 --> 00:20:41.500
on underneath. And he's like, Dude, I just can't. He

444
00:20:41.539 --> 00:20:45.819
just fucking went out there. And I was like, fuck yeah, man.

445
00:20:46.339 --> 00:20:47.779
So just honest and real.

446
00:20:49.259 --> 00:20:53.660
At Time Bash, I was interviewing them, and we were

447
00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:56.849
at the bar, and I looked at one of them,

448
00:20:56.869 --> 00:21:00.589
and I'm like, yeah, it's a good thing you wear costumes.

449
00:21:03.930 --> 00:21:05.769
I could probably tell more stories, but I don't want

450
00:21:05.809 --> 00:21:07.630
to seem disparaging about great people.

451
00:21:08.150 --> 00:21:10.230
There's so many.

452
00:21:09.910 --> 00:21:13.710
Weird, obtuse things To take observation of And maybe they'd

453
00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:15.759
appreciate me telling tales But I also don't want to

454
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.799
pull back the curtain either So just take it at

455
00:21:18.859 --> 00:21:20.019
face value And enjoy I.

456
00:21:20.500 --> 00:21:26.269
Love that So back to you 1983 The Us Festival 300,000

457
00:21:26.269 --> 00:21:29.670
people on Heavy Metal Day The headliner is Van Halen

458
00:21:31.210 --> 00:21:36.289
They start playing Ain't Talking About Love And nothing's happening

459
00:21:36.369 --> 00:21:40.789
From Dave And Eddie's looking over him. Michael Anthony's looking

460
00:21:40.849 --> 00:21:44.009
over him. And he looked at the crowd and he said,

461
00:21:44.230 --> 00:21:48.490
I fucking forgot the words. And the whole crowd cheered

462
00:21:48.819 --> 00:21:53.099
except one dude who heckled him. And he turned to

463
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:56.559
him and he goes, I will fuck your girlfriend. And

464
00:21:57.859 --> 00:21:58.880
that shut up the heckler.

465
00:22:00.250 --> 00:22:02.210
I'd like to see that happen in the modern era.

466
00:22:02.630 --> 00:22:03.269
I know, right?

467
00:22:04.549 --> 00:22:05.859
It'd make quite a news wave.

468
00:22:06.190 --> 00:22:08.640
Yeah, it would not be good on social media.

469
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.619
It'd be like sexual assault happening at the Van Halen show.

470
00:22:14.900 --> 00:22:20.640
By Diamond Dave. So here's the pictures. Can you tell

471
00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:22.519
me what that is? Right outside the venue as I

472
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:24.549
was walking in, there were like a hundred of them.

473
00:22:24.569 --> 00:22:29.019
There's a giant dude. that is exactly what they are it's.

474
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:30.680
Too hot to be wearing those feathers.

475
00:22:30.500 --> 00:22:33.829
Right now yeah I mean like literally there were like

476
00:22:33.869 --> 00:22:37.289
a hundred of them they were everywhere there's one with

477
00:22:37.329 --> 00:22:40.890
the feathers up and then I caught one that.

478
00:22:40.750 --> 00:22:44.930
Was fresh organic poultry right there was.

479
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:47.339
One I got I can't find that one but there

480
00:22:47.380 --> 00:22:49.359
was one where I caught it in action mode it

481
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:51.339
was running after somebody.

482
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:56.269
That's terrifying Can you imagine being maimed by a turkey?

483
00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:58.809
Well, I have a question for you then. I live

484
00:22:58.849 --> 00:23:02.809
in South Florida. Would you rather, we'll play that game,

485
00:23:02.849 --> 00:23:06.069
would you rather, would you rather get chased by a

486
00:23:06.150 --> 00:23:08.329
turkey or an alligator?

487
00:23:09.410 --> 00:23:13.440
Oh, turkey, sure. Although, it's probably faster. No, alligators are

488
00:23:13.460 --> 00:23:13.980
pretty quick.

489
00:23:14.140 --> 00:23:17.440
They are, but they can only run fast in short moments,

490
00:23:17.460 --> 00:23:21.259
so don't trip. You know, like, you don't want to

491
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:25.359
run and then trip, because then you're It's a bummer. Okay, so.

492
00:23:25.380 --> 00:23:27.059
I walk with a cane, so.

493
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:34.000
I wasn't going to go there, but... Okay, so... All right, now,

494
00:23:34.059 --> 00:23:37.180
since you picked turkey, would you rather get chased by

495
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.720
a turkey or a guana? Because I have, like, thousands

496
00:23:40.779 --> 00:23:42.519
of them where I live. They're everywhere.

497
00:23:42.539 --> 00:23:44.569
Oh, an iguana, yeah.

498
00:23:45.009 --> 00:23:48.660
Yeah, no, they're fucking bastards, those fuckers. They run really

499
00:23:48.740 --> 00:23:49.329
fucking fast.

500
00:23:49.380 --> 00:23:50.450
Yeah, but you can step on his head.

501
00:23:50.470 --> 00:23:51.490
Maybe.

502
00:23:51.869 --> 00:23:52.210
Maybe.

503
00:23:52.980 --> 00:23:58.329
The babies, some of them are big. They're vicious. And

504
00:23:58.349 --> 00:24:00.230
they fall on your head from the trees.

505
00:24:00.529 --> 00:24:02.990
Would you rather be chased by an iguana or an

506
00:24:03.170 --> 00:24:03.750
ice agent?

507
00:24:05.329 --> 00:24:09.329
Fucking iguana every day of the week. Because I can

508
00:24:09.369 --> 00:24:11.519
tell you that even back in the 80s, I used

509
00:24:11.539 --> 00:24:14.000
to go from L.A. to Tijuana, and I almost didn't

510
00:24:14.019 --> 00:24:16.960
get back in the United States because they thought I

511
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:18.880
was Mexican because I was wearing a leather jacket.

512
00:24:18.900 --> 00:24:20.940
I wasn't trying to be like weird. I was just

513
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:22.480
thinking of scary shit that would chase me.

514
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:26.420
No, it's true, though, because ice are a bunch of assholes. Okay, so, like,

515
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:27.329
I'm cool with that.

516
00:24:27.369 --> 00:24:28.049
That's the idea.

517
00:24:28.069 --> 00:24:29.910
Yeah, I don't want to be chased by ice at all.

518
00:24:29.970 --> 00:24:32.289
I don't want to get alligator Alcatraz. It's the most

519
00:24:32.329 --> 00:24:33.970
ridiculous fucking place ever.

520
00:24:34.049 --> 00:24:36.269
I'm pretty sure I'm afraid of ice, but I think

521
00:24:36.289 --> 00:24:37.410
that I'm invisible to them.

522
00:24:38.329 --> 00:24:39.329
Well, yeah, it's the cane.

523
00:24:40.009 --> 00:24:40.769
They can't see me.

524
00:24:41.109 --> 00:24:42.950
Yeah, it's the cane. It's your magic power.

525
00:24:43.529 --> 00:24:44.190
I'm cloaked.

526
00:24:44.710 --> 00:24:45.210
There it is.

527
00:24:45.890 --> 00:24:47.230
I don't know why. They just can't see me.

528
00:24:47.630 --> 00:24:52.190
Okay, so, would you... Would you rather get chased by

529
00:24:52.230 --> 00:24:53.880
an ICE agent or a Trumper?

530
00:24:53.890 --> 00:24:55.759
Isn't that the same thing?

531
00:24:56.779 --> 00:25:02.900
Okay, never mind. Oh, my God.

532
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:04.799
I mean, honestly, like I said, I walk with a cane.

533
00:25:04.819 --> 00:25:06.160
I just don't want to be chased by much.

534
00:25:06.660 --> 00:25:12.420
Exactly. So anything else you guys want to share that

535
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:14.970
we haven't covered already or anything else that you want

536
00:25:14.990 --> 00:25:19.509
to say ridiculous that we haven't said ridiculous already? But

537
00:25:19.549 --> 00:25:20.849
smaller than my fist, please.

538
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:24.759
One time we stayed in Florida, and people invited us

539
00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:26.559
to come stay at their house, but it was really

540
00:25:26.619 --> 00:25:29.519
a squat, and we slept in a room that was

541
00:25:29.579 --> 00:25:31.119
full of trash and feces.

542
00:25:34.339 --> 00:25:40.220
Okay, I don't think there's any more would-you-rathers. But that's

543
00:25:40.289 --> 00:25:41.170
rock and roll, man.

544
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:44.579
We could do the Would You Rather's all day. That

545
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:45.559
was a great night.

546
00:25:45.579 --> 00:25:47.279
That wasn't meant to be a horror story.

547
00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:50.509
It's just what I thought of immediately when I think

548
00:25:50.549 --> 00:25:51.950
of Florida. I think it was Jacksonville.

549
00:25:52.069 --> 00:25:56.029
He left a good part out. Well, that tracks. It's Jacksonville.

550
00:25:56.049 --> 00:25:56.730
That makes sense.

551
00:25:57.980 --> 00:26:01.440
I also once hucked a cheeseburger over a fence into

552
00:26:01.460 --> 00:26:05.829
a boat in pure white rage. Like boiling in all

553
00:26:05.849 --> 00:26:09.130
of my systems. The most angry a human has ever been.

554
00:26:09.150 --> 00:26:12.829
And I threw that cheeseburger onto that yacht. And I

555
00:26:12.869 --> 00:26:13.490
don't look back.

556
00:26:14.390 --> 00:26:15.289
That's terrible.

557
00:26:15.690 --> 00:26:16.529
Daytona Beach.

558
00:26:16.769 --> 00:26:17.829
You are violent.

559
00:26:17.950 --> 00:26:19.349
It's because there is cheese on it.

560
00:26:19.849 --> 00:26:20.670
You're violent.

561
00:26:21.529 --> 00:26:22.599
Death becomes us all.

562
00:26:23.420 --> 00:26:24.160
Are you kosher?

563
00:26:24.859 --> 00:26:27.339
Nah. I just hate fake ass cheese.

564
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:28.700
Oh, and there's a lot of that.

565
00:26:28.740 --> 00:26:31.019
I'm so hungry, and it's just like, I'm not going

566
00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:33.460
to break my morals just because I'm starving.

567
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:38.259
Right. Vegan cheese, that's really disgusting.

568
00:26:38.380 --> 00:26:40.329
I'm not a vegan. I just hate fake cheese.

569
00:26:40.490 --> 00:26:43.210
I know. Well, I'm saying that's fake cheese. It's disgusting.

570
00:26:43.650 --> 00:26:44.309
I haven't tried it.

571
00:26:44.309 --> 00:26:45.750
You know what's not disgusting?

572
00:26:46.490 --> 00:26:47.710
Simulation is always bad.

573
00:26:47.849 --> 00:26:48.569
Horse the band.

574
00:26:49.019 --> 00:26:51.599
Thank you. I appreciate that. Although I've done some pretty

575
00:26:51.619 --> 00:26:53.039
disgusting shit in my day.

576
00:26:53.500 --> 00:26:56.039
Well, I didn't say you didn't do disgusting stuff. I'm

577
00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:58.160
just saying the band in general. No, it's true.

578
00:26:58.200 --> 00:26:59.369
We're a precision instrument.

579
00:27:00.109 --> 00:27:01.809
You guys are fucking badass.

580
00:27:02.349 --> 00:27:02.890
Thank you, sir.

581
00:27:03.450 --> 00:27:06.190
Next year, you need the headline aftershock. I'm putting the

582
00:27:06.210 --> 00:27:09.309
word in. Horse the band needs the headline.

583
00:27:09.329 --> 00:27:11.289
Once we get to play after the sun's already set,

584
00:27:11.309 --> 00:27:11.809
I'm happy.

585
00:27:11.849 --> 00:27:16.529
Well, that kind of would make sense because you're headlining, okay?

586
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.910
So unless you're in Sweden in the summer.

587
00:27:21.369 --> 00:27:22.710
I live in Sweden, actually.

588
00:27:22.950 --> 00:27:24.269
Look at how I picked that.

589
00:27:24.049 --> 00:27:26.970
Out of the hat.

590
00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:30.759
I was there when it was 23 and a half

591
00:27:30.819 --> 00:27:35.160
hours of sunlight. And I'm like, I wouldn't live here

592
00:27:35.220 --> 00:27:36.960
during the winter because I don't want those 23 and

593
00:27:37.059 --> 00:27:39.470
a half. I like the sunlights. But it was kind

594
00:27:39.509 --> 00:27:41.960
of a trip. I got there, and my watch was

595
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:44.839
still on East Coast time. And I looked down at

596
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:46.779
my watch, and I'm like, we're at this cafe. I'm like,

597
00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:49.019
it's pretty nice out for 6 o'clock. And somebody looks

598
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:54.119
at me, and it's like, it's midnight. I'm like, holy shit.

599
00:27:55.329 --> 00:27:58.230
For real, it's a culture shock. We did St. Petersburg

600
00:27:58.329 --> 00:28:00.849
one year, and there was like 1,000 kids at the

601
00:28:00.890 --> 00:28:03.470
McDonald's at like 12, 30 at night, and the sun

602
00:28:03.509 --> 00:28:05.930
was still out. And I was like, what is happening

603
00:28:05.970 --> 00:28:07.690
to me? Yeah.

604
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:13.430
Is it true that Horst the Band tours the McDonald's

605
00:28:13.950 --> 00:28:16.369
in Europe? No. Oh, okay.

606
00:28:16.730 --> 00:28:18.950
No, just played a lot of shows all over the place.

607
00:28:19.430 --> 00:28:21.089
That would be a cool tour. Like they used to

608
00:28:21.109 --> 00:28:23.779
have the Hot Topic tour. You could do the McDonald's tour.

609
00:28:24.220 --> 00:28:27.359
I think that there's a dying precedent needed in the

610
00:28:27.420 --> 00:28:31.950
heavy music scene for a Denny's tour. The memes ask

611
00:28:32.029 --> 00:28:34.730
for it. The precedent is set. I think that Denny's

612
00:28:34.779 --> 00:28:36.339
needs to start having live music.

613
00:28:36.660 --> 00:28:40.069
I agree. Let's do it. And you're going to start it.

614
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:41.660
You start the tour.

615
00:28:41.819 --> 00:28:43.039
Make the announcement right here and now.

616
00:28:43.059 --> 00:28:48.549
What's their breakfasts called? Grand Slams. Grand Slam venue. Or

617
00:28:48.609 --> 00:28:49.690
Grand Slam festival.

618
00:28:49.950 --> 00:28:53.230
There it is. Well, you guys fucking rock. And thanks

619
00:28:53.309 --> 00:28:58.829
a lot for entertaining me. Entertaining your 100,000 closest friends

620
00:28:58.869 --> 00:29:01.750
here at Aftershock. And thanks for being on the Adventures

621
00:29:01.789 --> 00:29:02.089
of Pipe Man.

622
00:29:02.109 --> 00:29:02.789
Thanks for having us.

623
00:29:05.250 --> 00:29:09.549
Thank you for listening to the Adventures of Pipe Man.

624
00:29:10.210 --> 00:29:11.170
On W4CY Radio.
