00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:07.320
Hi, you have done to censure?

2
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.679
Wow for you.

3
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:34.119
Young, It is the pipe Man here on the Adventures

4
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.200
pipe Man W four c Y Radio, and I'm here

5
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.200
with c J and Ryan from drawing a Pool Nice

6
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.560
here at Welcome to Rockville where Welcome to humidity? I'm

7
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:45.640
not sure what's yeah.

8
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:47.159
Welcome to the heat wave. I like it, though I

9
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:47.640
don't want it.

10
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.119
What's it like on stage with this humidity? Forget the heat?

11
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:52.280
The humidity though?

12
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:53.920
Seen? What was the old school?

13
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:55.920
When Will Ferrell's up on stage and he just saw

14
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:57.679
all of a sudden, she just rattling off that stuff

15
00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:59.200
and he's like, you know what happened?

16
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:00.240
I don't know, man, have black out.

17
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.799
That's how you debate, right, kind like that, you kind

18
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:04.840
of you go up on stage, you start to have

19
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:06.359
a really good time, and then all of a sudden

20
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:07.719
it's over and you're just like, what happened?

21
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:09.640
Usually right before I go into Bodies That Went Out,

22
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.120
you start seeing the stars and like, I'm gonna make

23
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:12.560
it through the song.

24
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:13.439
But we'll always make it through.

25
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.000
Yeah. It's like when you go up on stage, you

26
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.760
go into the zone and even if you're sick or whatever,

27
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:21.640
it's like you don't even give your permit self permission

28
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:23.519
to feel that till after you get it.

29
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:24.879
Does a matter of how you do. We have this

30
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:26.439
one week when we came through Florida.

31
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:28.359
At that time, I had the bad fish and have

32
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:30.920
food poisoning for like a week. And I mean just

33
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:32.439
every night, the second you get on stage and you

34
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.480
hit that first corners, just say do you just you know.

35
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.120
As a public service announcement for anybody out that ever

36
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.319
finds himself questioning whether they should do this or not,

37
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.200
don't eat to the tilapia Denny's, don't ever do it.

38
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.599
No, Denny's telapia fish.

39
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.959
It's Alabama. Denny's tilapia have bit me hard.

40
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:56.000
Maybe it's Alabama.

41
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:57.920
Then I could have been Alabama.

42
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.120
I'm sure it was fresh I thought it would be.

43
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:02.519
It's close to the ocean.

44
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.280
Right yeah. Well the golf, yeah I live on this

45
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:11.680
side of Florida. Okay, the golf. We don't consider the

46
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:15.479
ocean right like people say that. No, it's the golf.

47
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.199
It's the golf, baby, It's connected. It's just the golf now.

48
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:18.759
The golf.

49
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.840
However, the golf, however, I'm so used to like Fort

50
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.639
Myers area where you can walk out like two miles

51
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.639
and there's no waves and nothing but my daughter. She

52
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:33.520
lives in the Panhandle right by the golf and those

53
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.560
waves there are way bigger than my waves in West

54
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:37.039
Palm Beach.

55
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:38.280
Oh really, I didn't know that, man.

56
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:39.639
I'm trying to figure out where I'm going to move

57
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:41.400
when I retired to Florida, like everybody else does.

58
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.479
Well, if you go to if you do come to Florida,

59
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:48.159
if you go to Panhandle, we consider that South Alabama.

60
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:50.400
Okay, well, yeah, tell me a good spot.

61
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.719
If you see a while here walking around ten years

62
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:55.840
from now and think it from dronafol, it is me.

63
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.120
What what does drowning pool want for a spot to

64
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.120
retire to Florida?

65
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:02.759
I'm there already.

66
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:04.439
Nice. Where's that England?

67
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.759
I don't like the sun, I don't like I don't

68
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.400
like water, so I'm not I'm in the middle. I know,

69
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:12.800
why are you living on an island? But still no,

70
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.319
I right in the middle. Stay away from the waters,

71
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.560
stay away from the sun. Small children's laughter, puppy dogs.

72
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.520
I like puppy dogs. Don't even get all my shit.

73
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.599
You like the puppy dogs, now, man, I don't you

74
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.000
don't I definitely. You know, I'm family and friends all

75
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.919
here and you live in Dallas, Texas. But you know,

76
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:31.960
we've been to Australia a few times and it sounded

77
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:32.319
nice here.

78
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:32.639
I like.

79
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.159
I like Ryan Macombs, I like the beach, any one

80
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.039
weather and puppy dogs.

81
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.680
So do I. But and I like the UK. But yeah,

82
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:43.840
I like the UK, but that bipolar weather. Like I

83
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.280
love the UK and the people there, but the bipolar

84
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.599
weather I can't deal with. Like when I do download,

85
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.000
it's like one interview, I'm wearing my hoodie, the next

86
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.639
one I'm like taking my shirt off because it's so hot,

87
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:55.840
and then it's freezing again.

88
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.960
See the last couple of years though, with our schedule,

89
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:00.000
I haven't been home.

90
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:01.599
Ah, there you go.

91
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.960
So all I experience is the rain and the gray

92
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:07.879
and the so it's perfect for me.

93
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:08.360
I love it.

94
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.479
Yeah. See that shows different people. That's why you have

95
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:13.080
different climates, because there.

96
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.080
Are people that live in Washington State. Yeah.

97
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.879
Yeah, somebody said something to me like I wouldn't want

98
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:20.600
to live there where it's raining all the time. I

99
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.560
mean it's raining in Florida all the time, but it

100
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:26.560
lasts for like, you know, fifteen minutes destroys the whole place,

101
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:28.199
and then it's like it never happened that.

102
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.360
Sure, yeah we did when the records here years ago

103
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.160
with Jason Sukoff, and it just afternoon showers with just

104
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:34.040
a regular event.

105
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.160
Oh yeah, it's alarm clock three four o'clock. You can

106
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.240
bet on it, right, you bet on it. That's nap

107
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.600
time exactly. You know how I know we're just talking

108
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.879
about this. So I'll be saying in my house with

109
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:49.399
the doors open and stuff and shit will start flying

110
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:53.199
off the wall, like, oh, the storm's coming. And if

111
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.959
the wind comes first, it's just like.

112
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.519
Right, I'll let you says right, such a messed up

113
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:05.439
experiences like so commonplaces. Oh yeah, here comes a storm.

114
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.120
She's flying off the wall, Here comes a storm.

115
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:10.879
I'm pulling out my surfboard. When they say we're gonna

116
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:14.519
have a hurricane in a few days, man, that is

117
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.959
when we surf because it's the only time we have

118
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:18.000
a swell down there.

119
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:18.519
Really.

120
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.279
Yeah, So otherwise no ocean can be like a lake

121
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:26.560
because the Bahamas blocks it. But then when there's a hurricane,

122
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.519
we have like ten twelve foot waves.

123
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.519
I would I would I think I would be really

124
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:35.040
into surfing if I like the water in the sun.

125
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.360
Yeah, that's kind of a component.

126
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:42.040
The closest I've ever come to is I saw one.

127
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:44.600
I thought you were going to say, you saw a sun.

128
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.959
If I can help it, I've seen enough of it.

129
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.560
Has it been like that for you your whole life? Actually?

130
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:53.120
No, When I was a kid, I liked you know,

131
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.439
I lived in the swimming pool as a kid and everything.

132
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:57.399
But now I don't get in the water. I take it,

133
00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.240
take a shower every day, and that's with all the

134
00:05:59.240 --> 00:05:59.839
water I need.

135
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:00.480
I'm good.

136
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.759
Do you have like some trauma? Did you drown in

137
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.920
the pool? In the pool, we are impervious to water

138
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:14.759
every day, right, So tell me too. Like you did

139
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:19.920
this collab song in February and I was listening to

140
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.720
him like that's pretty bad ass.

141
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.079
So yeah, yeah, man, sorry, X is awesome.

142
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:25.279
Man.

143
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.360
They had a label Shan to turn us on to

144
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.120
the girl she was singing. She did like her rendition

145
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:31.439
of bodies and stuff and it was killer. And they

146
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.360
working on this tune and you know, got to Ryan

147
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:35.560
and I and it was fun to do.

148
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:35.800
Man.

149
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:37.920
It came together. Another thing that came together real fast,

150
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:39.680
Like when we did the stuff at OFFSET. It just

151
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.360
it just fell on table. It just made the sense.

152
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:43.319
It was a fun song to play along too, especially

153
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.680
with the solo for me, and I love it how

154
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:46.120
it came out.

155
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.120
Man, Yeah, well I think she It was easy, yes,

156
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.040
because I mean she's a really talented new artist that.

157
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.120
If you're not familiar with it, check out sorry X. Yeah,

158
00:06:59.160 --> 00:06:59.800
she's a she's a.

159
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:03.480
Very she is. I didn't know about till you did

160
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:05.560
the collab, and I'm like, she has.

161
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:07.560
A lot of different styles, like you know, she you know,

162
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:09.519
she obviously got heavy voice. She has a great singing voice,

163
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:11.279
and she has like you know, like the modern day

164
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:13.720
wouldn't say, you know, new metal rap style back in

165
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:15.560
the day, but the new way of delivery. So she

166
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.839
does a good the mix of all of them within

167
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:19.879
that song itself. So it's super talented. That's why we

168
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:21.120
you know, joined forces.

169
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:25.560
See. I love collabs because to me, it I kind

170
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.120
of think like the artist gets to experiment a little

171
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:29.920
because like when you have your own band, you kind

172
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.240
of sometimes have to stay in a certain lane, so

173
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.920
you can collab with others and it allows you to

174
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.959
go out of that lane without people saying anything. The

175
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:40.800
gatekeeper people.

176
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:42.040
Yeah, man, that's been fun.

177
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.600
And like you said, just we bound side is off

178
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.360
each other and a song kind of changed more with

179
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:47.879
a few different times until it came out to what

180
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.639
it is. But again a lot of fun. You know,

181
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.199
hopefully we can jam out with it at some point somewhere.

182
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:56.160
But you know, we're staying busy, like everybody. Ryan's staying

183
00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:56.959
extremely busy.

184
00:07:58.120 --> 00:07:58.639
I've been here.

185
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.839
See, I've been in Flora for just a few hours now,

186
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.240
and I'm already getting the effect.

187
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:05.639
It's already happening.

188
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:06.879
It's what is that?

189
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.639
It's that because my skin I got a lurch reaction

190
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.079
to the sun. My skin. Everybody always makes some because

191
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.040
I'm always wearing long sleeves and stuff out here. But

192
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:19.240
this is what happens to me, is that painful little pain.

193
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:21.680
That's why you like it in the day.

194
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.480
So how's that? Also? Like, what's it like having to

195
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:27.000
perform in this crap? Then?

196
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.720
I just it's it doesn't matter.

197
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.279
I mean, when you're that's the that's the payoff for

198
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:36.480
you put up with this crap, payoff of being up.

199
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:38.039
There with the people that allow us to do what

200
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.240
we do. You know, the crowd comes out, that's the payoff.

201
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.960
So I mean, it doesn't matter what's going on, skin

202
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:47.399
burning wise, it's it's all worthwhile when it comes to that.

203
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:51.159
So you're here at Welcome to Rockville. You're gonna be

204
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:54.240
doing Aftershock this year. You've pretty much done every DWP

205
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:59.720
festival right multiple times. Yeah, which one's your favorite?

206
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.320
I have a soft spot for this one because well,

207
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.840
we were here two years ago and it was it

208
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:09.360
was sick. I mean, I think at one point there

209
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:12.559
was three different pits going on, just dust flying everywhere,

210
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:16.919
and it was it was it was definitely every show

211
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.399
is memorable for one reason or another, and but that

212
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.159
one was definitely memorable.

213
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.840
For just the bad assy that took place during the show.

214
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.600
I love that. And since you brought up the dust, yah,

215
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:32.240
because I often wonder about ours. I was wondering this

216
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:35.159
morning as I was trying to get all the fucking

217
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.559
dust out of my nose from yesterday, and I'm like,

218
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.840
I don't get how like singers are able to go

219
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.159
from one festival another and be able to still sing.

220
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:49.840
I'm already losing my voice just speaking.

221
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.840
Where do We just played Infernto Fest that was in.

222
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.279
Outside of Reno, and it was a dust storm and dude,

223
00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:59.840
it took me a week just I'm even That's.

224
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:01.759
Why I'm saying, how you go on tour after that?

225
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:03.879
Like I do all these festivals, but all I have

226
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.440
to do is talk, But by time, like the end

227
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.360
of the first festival, I can't talk anymore pretty much,

228
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:10.679
and I can't breathe at all.

229
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:12.399
You just swallow a box and nails. It just kind

230
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:13.919
of gets all the sand down.

231
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:16.200
Yeah, there you go. I'm going to try that box.

232
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:19.279
I'll try that tonight after I get I'll try that

233
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:20.559
after I get out of your pit.

234
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:23.919
Have you tried nails? Staples?

235
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:25.039
Try staples?

236
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:28.120
Oh? Man? So what else you got coming up here

237
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:29.240

240
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.000
All we do, yeah, we we go over We start

241
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:38.039

Nice, nice, nice, and uh we start there, we do

244
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:47.799

245
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:49.320
in it's Belgium.

246
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:53.159
Yeah yeah, yeah, that's a cool place. Like the crowd

247
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:57.519
is a trip because they speak like three different languages

248
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:02.799
right there and then there they have a language called Flemish,

249
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.519
just for that area where grass pop is. It's not

250
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.480
for all Beltree, just that area. So here, here's what's

251
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:16.399

It's and it would speak Flemish or die all right,

255
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.000
and they did that and the whole crowd just freaking

256
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:33.559
ate it up.

257
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:34.360
That's awesome.

258
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.960

Yeah. We were in Norway. Uh this past winter.

It was I've never seen so much in my life.

280
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:35.799
Man, never hold plunged for survival, the survival training.

281
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:40.120
Oh that's frozen forever, I guess since time started. And

282
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.200
they jump in it with full gear and you have

283
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:42.840
to climb out.

284
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.360
Have you ever had to do that, Derek? Have you

285
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:54.120
ever had to do that jump in a cold? Yeah? Yeah, right,

286
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.879
he's been in a place that gets up to like

287
00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:58.399
one hundred and thirty degrees.

288
00:12:58.679 --> 00:12:58.840
Yeah.

289
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.360
We were in Iraq and Kuwait several times and dude,

290
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.000
it was Yeah, it was one hundred and twenty five

291
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:04.480
one of the days how we played two thousand and six?

292
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:06.759
Yeah, how do you even play in one hundred and

293
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:07.639
twenty five degree?

294
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:10.399
Let I tell you, I remember sitting there one time

295
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:14.879
and a bunch of soldiers came up and I'm talking

296
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:16.960
to him and all, and I'm sitting there in shorts

297
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.240
and cut off sleeve T shirt and everything because I

298
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.279
didn't have this problem back then, and uh, I'm sitting

299
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.639
complaining about the heat. And then I just stopped because

300
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:28.759
I realized that the men and women I'm talking to

301
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:32.840
is in full gear with like thirty pounds packs on,

302
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:34.200
and so if I was like, you know what, I'm.

303
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:35.240
Just gonna shut up right now.

304
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.840
That sure is hot out here in it. Yeah, it's

305
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:38.240
so hot.

306
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.240
Never mind, never mind, I'm sorry.

307
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:41.639
I take that back right.

308
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:42.360
Yeah, it was wild.

309
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:45.159
I was drinking just kept veenis water water. I realized

310
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:46.519
that three days in my buy it, I never took

311
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.159

00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.799
It's like you can't get enough of it. I'm like, man,

You just sweating it out man. Yeah.

316
00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:59.879
Yeah, I was drinking nothing but water until I walked

317
00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:02.399
off stage one time and this soldier gave me a

318
00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:05.200
PEPSI can and it was like, you want to drink?

Yeah, gas leaning basically.

325
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:23.320
Wow, we have had a few of them.

326
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:25.840
Yeah, we do those. We do the military shows.

327
00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:27.440
We get an opportunity to do that again, which is

328
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.559
always a blessing, and then uh, and then come back

329
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:34.000
to state side and do a bunch of stuff and saliva.

330
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:34.639
Yeah.

331
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.000
And I've been fully announced yet, but it's gonna announced

332
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:37.960
I think in next week or two.

333
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:39.639
Wait, you know, I'm just said it.

334
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:44.039
Yeah, you just said. Okay, anybody that's listening, keep it

335
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:46.440
to yourself because this is not public. Yeah.

336
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.600
Start in August and September. We were filling up dates

337
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:51.200
right now that hasn't gone public, but up it's twenty

338
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.159
five anniversary for them on their record for us with

339
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:54.159
the Center record, so we're.

340
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:55.159
Gonna be playing that in its entirety.

341
00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:58.240
I had some I got some songs to learn.

342
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:00.120
We got a couple more songs on there. But that's

343
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:01.200
all right, man. We want to get to him.

344
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:07.080
I think he's gonna do great as one of us. Yeah, well,

345
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:10.279
keep the moonshine away or maybe have more moonshine one

346
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:12.360
way or the other. It's it's gonna work.

347
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:14.320
Yeah, with myself.

348
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:16.919
Was like the songs that I sing, I figured I

349
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.720
wrote the lyrics when I was drunk. I record the

350
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:22.360
lyrics when I was drunk. You gotta say when you're

351
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:25.879
when you're performing. But with like like the Drowning Pool

352
00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.399
stuff that I didn't write, I don't know what the

353
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:29.200
answer to that is.

354
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:31.759
They're just core light and the Yegger is what they

355
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:35.399
used to drink. There you go Corse light and a

356
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:37.679
Yegger and you get to go. Man, that's how that recovers, right,

357
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:40.360
So you're gonna have to switch the Corse light.

358
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:40.559
Then.

359
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:42.679
Good thing we brought some.

360
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.159
Is that called like a Yeager light bomb.

361
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:47.919
I don't know, man. That was again that was Dave

362
00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:48.840
William's favorite drink.

363
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:50.799
I mean, I'm kind of much pretty much on the

364
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:53.200
vodka down, you know, say, with the clears, because it's

365
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:54.360
better for you to be your system.

366
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:54.840
Yeah.

367
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.559
Or it looks like water and think people think you're

368
00:15:58.600 --> 00:15:59.360
just drinking water.

369
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:01.360
Could be water, could be vaka.

370
00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:04.679
Who knows the time.

371
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:09.759
Yeah, you know I'm wasting when I start talking cajun.

372
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:12.600
My girl, You've done it in a couple of interviews.

373
00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:14.200
Actually, I like it.

374
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.039
Yeah, I'm still having hit their drink yet.

375
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:18.399
I'm just I've also had the honor of having him

376
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:20.720
where I don't even think he knows he was even

377
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:21.679
at the interview.

378
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:23.000
We've done something.

379
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:25.759
Yeah, so wow, man, I guess it.

380
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:27.440
You know, you never know what's gonna get for a show.

381
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:29.519
This is the first earlier show, so I'm not drink

382
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:29.960
until later.

383
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:32.279
I think this is the first time we've talked before

384
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:34.639
the show. Yeah, this first time you're sober during one

385
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:35.559
of our interviews.

386
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:38.720
First time, first time for everything. Jesus, Like, what's wrong?

387
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:39.360
Wing for you? Are?

388
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:41.360
This is boring life?

389
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:42.600
Is this what the bird is?

390
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:42.759
Like?

391
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:45.559
Oh my god? People live like this. The best thing

392
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.039
about it is is I probably won't have to contact us.

393
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:50.200
There's been a couple of times with those type of interviews.

394
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:54.600
It's after show alcohol in fuel interviews that I've had

395
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:57.200
to contact the person after me, like can you cut

396
00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:58.039
this part out?

397
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:02.399
When I start getting political? Can you cut that crap out?

398
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.640
It's talking yeah, the and.

399
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:11.599
I'm on that's everything. And and I'm automatically somebody that

400
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:13.640
would cut it out because I know, because I know you.

401
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:16.279
I'm like, yeah, they wouldn't want that in any.

402
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:19.160
Interview with Today's cancel Culture.

403
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:22.759
I know, right, I even wonder. I wonder when I

404
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.799
say stuff. But let's get you to your next interview

405
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:31.599
always and I'll see you download.

406
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:34.000
You see a download, brother, and we can catch it

407
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:34.440
from there.

408
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:36.279
You need to get a like a comic book though,

409
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:36.960
a pipe man.

410
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.640
Wait a minute, I do. If you look at my logo,

411
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:44.240
it's a comic like when my hair was blue. That's

412
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:48.599
that's my logo. Comic logo, all right, And I just

413
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:51.079
had it felt like it was Yeah, I felt it

414
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:55.039
was there. There it is, see And I'm like, pipe

415
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:58.200
Man is kind of patterned after Dark Night because bat

416
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:03.519
Batman is one of the most badass superheroes. I think

417
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:07.440
Batman and Arrow because neither one of them have any

418
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.160
superpowers or not matty humans or not. I guess they're

419
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:15.079
just regular dudes that went through some major freaking trauma

420
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:21.640
and used it positively. There. It is just like drowning people.

421
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:24.559
Every day is a battle.

422
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:27.880
It's like every every merch person I've ever known, they've

423
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:29.200
just gone through some major trauma.

424
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:32.359
Now they just tour with bands and choose to live

425
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:32.880
this life.

426
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:37.519
Right. Yeah, what does that make you, guys? Because you

427
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:38.279
choose it too.

428
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:39.880
Oh man, we get the payoff.

429
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:40.279
Yeah.

430
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:41.640
There you have time with the crowd.

431
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.440
That's it. That's what counts. And that's what's great about

432
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:49.519
you guys, because you're here too for the crowd, not

433
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:53.559
for anything else, you know, for the music, for the therapy,

434
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.519
for the crowd, for the fun, for an escape. And

435
00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:58.200
that makes drowning in the.

436
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:00.319
Crowd watching all the other bands too. Man, there go

437
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:01.759
out and watch everybody. I still get in a pin.

438
00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:03.119
I know it probably shouldn't.

439
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:03.839
That's the way it should be.

440
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.480
It'd be on stages this guy too, so it works.

441
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:12.000
There you go. We need weeks, we need like we

442
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:13.880
need like a bro hug for that. But we're not

443
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:16.400
on video, so everybody just can't think that.

444
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.119
Just fat hearts came up.

445
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:20.880
That's there.

446
00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:23.359
It is. Stars.

447
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:25.599
Well, thanks man, thanks a lot. I have a good

448
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:29.079
one and kick some masks here at Welcome to Rockville.

449
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:29.799
Yeah, man, I'm ready.

450
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:30.440
I have my water.

451
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:32.000
I'm gonna go get a drink now.

452
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:32.759
