Hey, you're listening to Adventure on W4CY Radio.

00:00:13.289 --> 00:00:21.570
This is the Pipe Man here on the Adventure's Pipe

3
00:00:21.609 --> 00:00:23.829
Man W4CY Radio, and I'm here with.

4
00:00:24.410 --> 00:00:28.359
CJ Pierce from Drowning Pool, and... Me. I'm Combs.

5
00:00:28.890 --> 00:00:29.109
Yep.

6
00:00:29.390 --> 00:00:30.739
Laverne and Shirley.

00:00:31.179 --> 00:00:31.940
Starsky and Hutch.

8
00:00:32.450 --> 00:00:34.350
Mrs. Spock and Captain Kirk.

9
00:00:34.689 --> 00:00:37.950
Wait, stop right there. What can you tell me about

10
00:00:38.049 --> 00:00:42.039
Captain Kirk right now that's happening right now?

11
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.000
He went out to space for real, and he cried.

12
00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:48.780
That's old news already. Oh, what's going on right now? Well,

13
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:50.250
he's got to have one of his kidneys removed.

14
00:00:50.490 --> 00:00:50.969
Did you know that?

15
00:00:51.630 --> 00:00:53.630
He looked like he knew.

16
00:00:53.810 --> 00:00:55.369
Oh, I thought you knew. What's going on with Captain Kirk?

17
00:00:55.409 --> 00:00:56.070
William Shatner.

18
00:00:56.329 --> 00:01:00.649
The great William Shatner. The great 95-year-old William Shatner. He's

19
00:01:00.689 --> 00:01:03.890
one of my favorite actors. 95.

20
00:01:03.890 --> 00:01:06.769
I love William, bro. I watch his shows religiously, bro.

21
00:01:06.810 --> 00:01:08.250
He's funny to me. Everything that comes out of his

22
00:01:08.269 --> 00:01:09.170
mouth to me is hilarious.

23
00:01:09.329 --> 00:01:11.709
Well, and the way he says it, which goes with

24
00:01:11.750 --> 00:01:15.189
what I'm about to say. Yes. A couple weeks ago

25
00:01:15.730 --> 00:01:20.750
at Riot Fest, he debuted his new heavy metal band.

26
00:01:21.510 --> 00:01:25.290
And he has an album coming out It's called What

27
00:01:25.329 --> 00:01:27.209
the F is Heavy Metal.

28
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:29.879
And he's, oh my god Dude, he's done other stuff,

29
00:01:29.900 --> 00:01:33.200
he's done other music I am a William Shatner fan

30
00:01:33.219 --> 00:01:34.859
Like you would not believe, bro I'm a closet case

31
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:36.120
William Shatner.

32
00:01:35.859 --> 00:01:39.709
I got through college on Star Trek That got me

33
00:01:39.730 --> 00:01:42.159
through college. I don't even like the other Star Treks.

34
00:01:42.379 --> 00:01:43.420
Only the James T.

35
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:44.000
Kirk ones.

36
00:01:44.019 --> 00:01:48.040
Just his, man. He is like... His delivery, that pause... Well,

37
00:01:48.060 --> 00:01:49.620
that's what he did in singing.

38
00:01:49.659 --> 00:01:53.329
He was like doing the cover of a Metallica song. And...

39
00:01:53.980 --> 00:01:57.659
You know, he has his band, and they're called The Fuckers.

40
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:00.819
It sounds like something he would do.

41
00:02:01.219 --> 00:02:03.640
You know, Dolly Parton just did that metal record right

42
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.859
before she unfortunately passed away, and she did so many

43
00:02:06.909 --> 00:02:07.640
great songs on that.

44
00:02:07.670 --> 00:02:09.550
I was blown away. It's like 50 freaking cover songs

45
00:02:09.590 --> 00:02:09.870
she did.

46
00:02:10.250 --> 00:02:14.069
So for William Shatter, Bill, if you know him personally,

47
00:02:14.830 --> 00:02:15.810
I can't wait to hear this.

48
00:02:16.349 --> 00:02:17.729
Are you allowed to call him Bill?

49
00:02:19.229 --> 00:02:23.509
Personally, in my dreams. In my dreams, it's Bill and me.

50
00:02:24.750 --> 00:02:27.750
So, wait until you hear what happened, too. But first,

51
00:02:27.789 --> 00:02:30.000
he brought up Dolly Parton. I saw a thing with

52
00:02:30.009 --> 00:02:33.569
Dolly Parton recently that she was very....

53
00:02:35.469 --> 00:02:36.409
Awesomeness is happening.

54
00:02:37.009 --> 00:02:41.330
Captain Kirk to Dolly Parton in an aftershock. I love

55
00:02:41.349 --> 00:02:46.090
this interview already. Not one fucking question yet. It's all

56
00:02:46.110 --> 00:02:48.389
about Captain Kirk and Dolly Parton.

57
00:02:48.409 --> 00:02:53.020
This is my favorite interview ever.

58
00:02:53.259 --> 00:02:57.919
Wait. Robert Plant is about to enter the interview, okay? Oh, good.

59
00:02:57.979 --> 00:02:59.259
Robert Plant is one of my favorites.

60
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.340
All right. So Dolly Parton was in a video before

61
00:03:03.419 --> 00:03:04.060
she died.

62
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:04.180
Yeah.

63
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:09.879
And she wanted to get permission to do a cover

64
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:13.460
of Stairway to Heaven. And she was totally scared to

65
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.360
reach out to Robert Plant because he's Robert Plant.

66
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:17.039
Right.

67
00:03:17.340 --> 00:03:19.370
She's the only part. Exactly.

68
00:03:19.409 --> 00:03:21.430
Robert Plant, dude. That cover is so great.

69
00:03:21.650 --> 00:03:24.090
And Robert Plant. I mean, to us in the metal world,

70
00:03:24.129 --> 00:03:26.750
Robert Plant is Robert Plant. But she is also Dolly

71
00:03:26.810 --> 00:03:27.530
fucking Park.

72
00:03:27.629 --> 00:03:30.719
Yeah. And so you know what happens, Robert Plant? He

73
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.219
just like said, sure. He's like, you're Dolly Parton.

74
00:03:34.300 --> 00:03:37.620
He's like, you're Dolly Parton. Exactly what I just said.

75
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.560
Yeah. So he said that. All right.

76
00:03:40.659 --> 00:03:43.960
But to me, Ryan McCombs is a modern day Robert

77
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:45.199
Plant in my book.

78
00:03:45.780 --> 00:03:46.159
All right.

79
00:03:46.180 --> 00:03:48.000
That is the most fucked up thing I think I've

80
00:03:48.020 --> 00:03:48.300
ever heard.

81
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.340
That's, you know, when I look on stage sometimes, I'm like,

82
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.759
I love Led Zeppelin. And I look over and I'm like,

83
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:56.780
that's my Robert Plant. That's Ryan McCombs.

84
00:03:57.139 --> 00:03:59.340
And I really mean that. The songs that I write,

85
00:03:59.539 --> 00:04:00.659
you haven't heard the new stuff I want to throw

86
00:04:00.689 --> 00:04:00.939
at you.

87
00:04:01.310 --> 00:04:06.229
It's very Led Zeppelin-y. Led Zeppelin-ish. Which Led Zeppelin-ish, though?

88
00:04:06.530 --> 00:04:09.870
There's a lot of Led Zeppelin-ishes. Like each album was

89
00:04:09.909 --> 00:04:11.469
like a different genre pretty much.

90
00:04:12.449 --> 00:04:13.210
Houses of the Holy.

91
00:04:13.710 --> 00:04:14.449
Okay, there you go.

92
00:04:14.710 --> 00:04:16.889
I'm in that zone in my brain when I think

93
00:04:16.939 --> 00:04:19.899
about Ryan McComb as being my, you know, rabbit plant.

94
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:24.519
So Kirk did have demands. There was a rider. He

95
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.769
was on Good Morning America. It was getting promoted. And

96
00:04:28.170 --> 00:04:29.509
so he had this rider.

97
00:04:30.750 --> 00:04:31.490
James T. Kirk.

98
00:04:31.689 --> 00:04:36.230
In order, in his contract, in his contract to perform.

99
00:04:36.269 --> 00:04:38.889
This is the greatest interview I swear to fucking God.

100
00:04:38.939 --> 00:04:39.180
Right?

101
00:04:39.300 --> 00:04:39.879
It is.

102
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:41.360
You bring it every now and then.

103
00:04:41.459 --> 00:04:41.839
Pipe man.

104
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:42.660
Pipe man rules.

105
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:43.319
I love you.

106
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.939
I love you too, man. Oh my God. So one

107
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.839
of the things was he had a ship renamed after

108
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:52.079
him so he could once again captain a ship.

109
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:53.959
God damn right.

110
00:04:54.660 --> 00:04:58.459
They fulfilled all his demands. Another demand was he didn't

111
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.810
want a golf cart to take him to the stage.

112
00:05:00.819 --> 00:05:02.050
He wanted a DeLorean.

113
00:05:02.949 --> 00:05:05.230
Did he get a DeLorean? Did William get a DeLorean?

114
00:05:05.329 --> 00:05:05.610
And then.

115
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:10.660
That's fucking awesome.

116
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.879
You're 95. It's like, hey, I'm the captain, son. Give

117
00:05:13.899 --> 00:05:14.420
me what I want.

118
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.050
Exactly. That's awesome. And then he wanted, like, the.

119
00:05:17.060 --> 00:05:18.000
The car didn't get that shit.

120
00:05:18.250 --> 00:05:18.990
He wanted a bunch.

121
00:05:19.009 --> 00:05:19.879
The car didn't get it.

122
00:05:19.949 --> 00:05:21.319
It's a wheelchair. Kurt got it.

123
00:05:21.449 --> 00:05:21.769
That's what.

124
00:05:21.790 --> 00:05:22.610
The car got a wheelchair.

125
00:05:22.829 --> 00:05:25.649
You gotta ask. You don't ask, you don't get. He also.

126
00:05:25.730 --> 00:05:27.959
He got a wheelchair. He get it?

127
00:05:28.110 --> 00:05:28.970
Yeah, I did.

128
00:05:29.069 --> 00:05:30.589
I did it. I did it.

129
00:05:30.970 --> 00:05:31.709
See what he did there?

130
00:05:31.870 --> 00:05:32.550
We'll pull you.

131
00:05:32.670 --> 00:05:35.569
Sorry. Go ahead. We'll roll your ass up on there, Picard.

132
00:05:36.750 --> 00:05:39.839
You roll up on a wheelchair and William Bill will

133
00:05:39.860 --> 00:05:40.939
come up in his DeLorean.

134
00:05:41.019 --> 00:05:44.259
How freaking cool, bro. I can't wait to hear this record.

135
00:05:44.540 --> 00:05:47.639
I'm going to describe it to you. I'm going to

136
00:05:47.660 --> 00:05:51.560
describe it to you. There were some other important things

137
00:05:51.620 --> 00:05:55.600
like a bunch of puppies for dog rescues at the

138
00:05:55.660 --> 00:05:59.680
event in its dressing room. Man, that's good.

139
00:06:00.139 --> 00:06:00.540
Wow.

140
00:06:01.339 --> 00:06:04.879
Certain kind of sausage for catering.

141
00:06:05.420 --> 00:06:07.259
I probably made it the dogs.

142
00:06:07.379 --> 00:06:09.120
A variety of sausages made from.

143
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.529
Let's not go there. Why do you have to go there?

144
00:06:12.550 --> 00:06:17.100
Why do I do it dark? I'll be sausage.

145
00:06:17.180 --> 00:06:20.160
And then, good morning, America. Like, they listed off everything.

146
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:22.399
And he goes, and they forgot one. He goes, and

147
00:06:22.540 --> 00:06:28.899
don't forget my bowl of sauerkraut. Because apparently, sauerkraut's supposed

148
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.870
to be the key to longevity in life.

149
00:06:31.930 --> 00:06:33.050
I eat sauerkraut all the time.

150
00:06:33.269 --> 00:06:36.430
Well, then you're going to be 95 starting a metal band.

151
00:06:36.449 --> 00:06:38.649
Ah, shit. Yeah, I thought I was going to do

152
00:06:38.670 --> 00:06:41.370
a polka. Polka, polka. A polka band at 95.

153
00:06:41.350 --> 00:06:44.610
You're going to be like 75. In a band with

154
00:06:44.629 --> 00:06:45.509
Mike and Steve.

155
00:06:45.629 --> 00:06:47.870
My great-grandmother was 102 when she passed away. My grandfather

156
00:06:47.889 --> 00:06:50.550
was 99. So I think I'm cursed with longevity.

157
00:06:51.089 --> 00:06:52.029
Oh, well, there you go.

158
00:06:52.050 --> 00:06:52.750
You think this is fun?

159
00:06:52.769 --> 00:06:55.069
How many wives am I going to have by then?

160
00:06:55.089 --> 00:06:57.370
I'm on my third wife and four kids. Jesus Christ.

161
00:06:57.569 --> 00:07:01.519
I'm only 53. That's another lifetime of.

162
00:07:01.949 --> 00:07:04.110
That's three more wives and eight more kids.

163
00:07:04.310 --> 00:07:08.389
You got to be like Abraham and be... You got

164
00:07:08.410 --> 00:07:10.329
to be like Abraham and have a kid when you're

165
00:07:10.350 --> 00:07:11.790
like 95.

166
00:07:11.790 --> 00:07:16.600
I still got another one that works good.

167
00:07:17.620 --> 00:07:18.120
Are you sure?

168
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:19.439
Yes.

169
00:07:21.579 --> 00:07:26.240
You hesitated there. You hesitated. All right. So here's what

170
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:30.339
it sounds like when Captain Kirk sings Metallica.

171
00:07:30.899 --> 00:07:31.120
Yeah.

172
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:32.339
Show me.

173
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:39.310
Take us off. To never, never land.

174
00:07:39.889 --> 00:07:40.439
Perfect!

175
00:07:40.980 --> 00:07:42.220
He did that.

176
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:43.079
He did it like he does it.

177
00:07:43.100 --> 00:07:44.040
That's how he does it.

178
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:45.699
He has this great pause.

179
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:46.560
Yeah.

180
00:07:46.899 --> 00:07:52.759
The delivery, it's accent on Foo-a-fighters. Is it the Foo-a-fighters?

181
00:07:52.779 --> 00:07:54.240
Ladies and gentlemen, the Foo-a-fighters.

182
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:59.370
Folks, we are here today. Today we are here with

183
00:08:00.389 --> 00:08:01.730
Drowning Pool.

184
00:08:04.449 --> 00:08:09.250
Ladies and gentlemen, let the bodies hit the floor. One,

185
00:08:09.370 --> 00:08:13.600
there's nothing wrong with me. Two, there's nothing wrong with you.

186
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.920
That more sounded like it might have been like Vinny

187
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:19.199
Goombatz from New York.

188
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:21.579
Yeah, I just got it kind of more. If my

189
00:08:21.620 --> 00:08:23.920
William Shatner was from New York, he would sound like that.

190
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:24.959
Exactly.

191
00:08:24.980 --> 00:08:26.379
I like to think of my William Shatner as like

192
00:08:26.500 --> 00:08:28.060
a mafia boss.

193
00:08:29.100 --> 00:08:31.000
I like to think of my William Shatner being like

194
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:38.389
a A very free-minded unicorn flying around outer space with

195
00:08:38.529 --> 00:08:43.070
like a jet pack and.

196
00:08:41.590 --> 00:08:43.870
A lot of carrots. Just like a bunch of carrots,

197
00:08:43.909 --> 00:08:45.549
like a backpack of carrots.

198
00:08:45.779 --> 00:08:47.559
I want to hang out with William Shatner. I cater

199
00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:50.379
like a cheese fountain with four kinds of cheeses. And

200
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.899
I'm eating cheese with William Bill Shatner.

201
00:08:53.299 --> 00:08:54.539
What kind? What for, man?

202
00:08:54.620 --> 00:08:58.870
I like smoked gouda, mozzarella. Smoked Gouda because it's fancy, bro.

203
00:08:58.909 --> 00:08:59.750
Watch out.

204
00:08:59.809 --> 00:09:01.049
I like the Colby Jack, but I don't know if

205
00:09:01.070 --> 00:09:03.190
that gets melted the right way. But cheddar for sure.

206
00:09:03.210 --> 00:09:04.669
You got to go Pepper Jack, too. Get a little

207
00:09:04.690 --> 00:09:05.389
spice in your life.

208
00:09:05.470 --> 00:09:07.549
Oh, Pepper Jack with some Tony Sacheri on top.

209
00:09:07.730 --> 00:09:11.700
Yeah, so Pepper Jack, smoked Gouda, mozzarella. One more. One more.

210
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:12.919
Give me one.

211
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:13.600
Of the fancy ones.

212
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:15.179
Brie.

213
00:09:16.740 --> 00:09:19.740
Nigel with the brie. Hello, Nigel. Bring the brie.

214
00:09:21.019 --> 00:09:23.220
So how is Danny Wimmer catering anyway?

215
00:09:24.139 --> 00:09:25.159
We haven't been there. We just drink.

216
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:25.629
Um.

217
00:09:25.990 --> 00:09:28.029
Oh, well, you might want to.

218
00:09:28.029 --> 00:09:30.879
It usually is good. I mean, we've done many of

219
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:32.580
these over the years.

220
00:09:32.620 --> 00:09:34.519
Danny Wimmer puts on the best shows. Thank you, Danny.

221
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:38.419
Why does he like Drowning Pool better than any other band?

222
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:39.419
Does he?

223
00:09:39.740 --> 00:09:42.429
Well, look at how many times you're at the Wimmer Festival.

224
00:09:42.450 --> 00:09:42.799
We're at a lot.

225
00:09:42.850 --> 00:09:44.970
Of them i mean well today's not gonna be here

226
00:09:44.990 --> 00:09:45.690
if they don't like.

227
00:09:45.590 --> 00:09:48.210
Headlines sometimes you're going first we're easy man like you

228
00:09:48.250 --> 00:09:49.870
just you call me with that we do bar mitzvahs

229
00:09:50.110 --> 00:09:51.690
poop artists you know how easy it is to book

230
00:09:51.710 --> 00:09:53.730
your animal you want a pool party at your house

231
00:09:53.730 --> 00:09:54.759
and i've done this.

232
00:09:54.529 --> 00:09:56.169
Before hey man will you come play my pool party?

233
00:09:56.379 --> 00:09:56.799
Yeah.

234
00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:57.639
It's a birthday.

235
00:09:58.519 --> 00:09:58.840
Nice.

236
00:09:59.379 --> 00:09:59.799
For real.

237
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:01.059
I just like playing music.

238
00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:01.960
No.

239
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:03.639
Brian's going to be there.

240
00:10:04.620 --> 00:10:06.379
He says no now, but he's going to be at

241
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:08.779
your house, at your pool party. At the low price

242
00:10:08.850 --> 00:10:10.049
of like 500 bucks, bro, I'm easy.

243
00:10:10.070 --> 00:10:11.370
I'm going to steal your shit.

244
00:10:11.629 --> 00:10:15.769
Okay, so what if this happened to you, and boys.

245
00:10:17.230 --> 00:10:19.960
Stop the goddamn hammering for the love of God.

246
00:10:20.820 --> 00:10:26.919
Boys, I have an idea. You and I, we're going

247
00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:29.100
to go out and we're going to go on tour.

248
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:30.700
Are you talking about Drowning Pool?

249
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:36.419
Yeah, Drowning Pool and the William Shatner Heavy Metal Band,

250
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:37.460
the fuckers.

251
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:40.399
I would open up for them, the fuckers. Dude, we

252
00:10:40.419 --> 00:10:42.820
would go on tour with William Shatner. If you know somebody, hey,

253
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.700
people listening, call William, tell him Drowning Pool loves him,

254
00:10:46.139 --> 00:10:47.919
and we will tour with William Shatner.

255
00:10:47.990 --> 00:10:49.990
I would stick an ice pick in your fucking ear

256
00:10:50.009 --> 00:10:50.450
right now.

257
00:10:50.929 --> 00:10:54.409
No, somebody make a call. I would tour with William.

258
00:10:55.570 --> 00:10:56.169
Come on, man.

259
00:10:58.090 --> 00:10:59.830
So, how do you get on top of that?

260
00:11:00.370 --> 00:11:03.639
I don't know. And time's up. That was great.

261
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:04.159
Thank you.

262
00:11:05.500 --> 00:11:06.340
Thank you very much.

263
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:07.720
I don't know what to say after that. This is

264
00:11:07.740 --> 00:11:10.539
the greatest interview of my life. It really is. You

265
00:11:10.580 --> 00:11:13.899
top it every time. Dude, thank you. You have no idea.

266
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:14.740
This is genuine.

267
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.139
You want to know what's going on with Drownable? There's

268
00:11:18.179 --> 00:11:20.340
a magic answer box in your hand. And you ask

269
00:11:20.419 --> 00:11:21.970
the computer, hey, what's going on with Drownable?

270
00:11:22.259 --> 00:11:22.679
It can tell you.

271
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:23.990
We don't need to tell you about this. We need

272
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.549
to talk about this record coming out. And Dolly Parton's

273
00:11:26.649 --> 00:11:28.850
metal record that she had just put out got Restless.

274
00:11:28.570 --> 00:11:31.899
Soul, her sweet, sweet soul on I think you guys

275
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:33.460
should come out with a new album.

276
00:11:34.070 --> 00:11:34.250
Hey!

277
00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:36.509
I think you guys... It's not.

278
00:11:36.370 --> 00:11:37.710
A way to make a living. It's a sucking way

279
00:11:37.730 --> 00:11:38.509
to make a living.

280
00:11:38.889 --> 00:11:41.549
That was pretty good. Maybe you should perform that.

281
00:11:42.789 --> 00:11:44.889
I want to do a Dolly Parton... Bro, you have

282
00:11:44.929 --> 00:11:46.509
no idea how I'm trying to push that on my

283
00:11:46.529 --> 00:11:47.029
band right now?

284
00:11:47.070 --> 00:11:48.850
What are you trying to push on the band?

285
00:11:48.909 --> 00:11:54.419
Dolly Parton cover! Jolene, Jolene, Jolene!

286
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:55.940
This is what I've learned.

287
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.759
There's a text thread that I'm a part of and

288
00:11:58.779 --> 00:12:00.480
a text thread that I'm not a part of.

289
00:12:00.980 --> 00:12:02.779
Well, we're going to do like a sponsorship.

290
00:12:02.940 --> 00:12:03.519
It's Goline.

291
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:05.419
I'm not a part of that. We're going to do

292
00:12:05.460 --> 00:12:08.120
a sponsorship. Goline, Goline.

293
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:08.600
Goline.

294
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:11.480
Buy the Goline. Put it in my grave. It's clean

295
00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:12.019
for you and me.

296
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:17.240
I don't even know how to top that myself now.

297
00:12:17.740 --> 00:12:20.700
This has been great. The rest of your day is

298
00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:21.379
downhill from.

299
00:12:21.299 --> 00:12:21.860
Here, bro.

300
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.730
I mean, you did ruin it. You did ruin it

301
00:12:26.750 --> 00:12:29.289
for everybody else. Because you're so fucking good.

302
00:12:29.909 --> 00:12:30.450
We're having fun.

303
00:12:30.470 --> 00:12:31.809
Oh, look at that.

304
00:12:32.289 --> 00:12:33.210
Oh, man.

305
00:12:33.909 --> 00:12:36.009
That's why you're always at these festivals.

306
00:12:36.090 --> 00:12:38.090
Because we have fun, man. It's a house party. It's

307
00:12:38.129 --> 00:12:38.769
a barbecue.

308
00:12:38.809 --> 00:12:39.929
That's what music is.

309
00:12:39.950 --> 00:12:41.600
That we bring to the table. Even though we go

310
00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:43.840
on stage as professionals, it's still like you're in my

311
00:12:43.860 --> 00:12:45.779
living room. When we go on stage, it's like you're

312
00:12:45.820 --> 00:12:47.799
at my house. If my living room was as big

313
00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:49.860
as the Danny River space that we have out front,

314
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:52.580
I would invite all y'all to my house if the

315
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:54.340
record label ever gave us any money and I would

316
00:12:54.379 --> 00:12:56.379
buy a house that big instead of have a rental

317
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:00.710
house and a leased car. But anyway, my dream is

318
00:13:00.830 --> 00:13:03.379
to be here like you're at my house, and we're

319
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:06.179
barbecuing for you on stage as professionals, putting on a

320
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:08.659
good show. And that's what Dreadnought Pool brings to you.

321
00:13:09.100 --> 00:13:12.450
Okay, then I have another idea. You have to go

322
00:13:12.529 --> 00:13:15.129
on tour with the Foo Fighters because then Dave Grohl

323
00:13:15.169 --> 00:13:16.669
will be doing the barbecuing.

324
00:13:17.049 --> 00:13:17.549
He would be.

325
00:13:17.570 --> 00:13:18.690
You know, I hung out with him and he did

326
00:13:18.730 --> 00:13:20.850
barbecue because, you know, Ride for Dime and stuff happens.

327
00:13:21.289 --> 00:13:21.990
Dime bash.

328
00:13:22.070 --> 00:13:23.669
I got to show you pictures of me and Dave Grohl.

329
00:13:23.549 --> 00:13:25.190
In the pool. Nice.

330
00:13:25.230 --> 00:13:27.570
With my wife. And then everybody's like, hey, I'm going

331
00:13:27.590 --> 00:13:28.149
to get some shots.

332
00:13:28.169 --> 00:13:30.389
So I went inside. It's like Dime's house. So I

333
00:13:30.409 --> 00:13:32.409
go in the kitchen like the pool boy. We're the

334
00:13:32.450 --> 00:13:34.529
pool boys. We're the pool boys. I go inside to

335
00:13:34.570 --> 00:13:36.379
make a big tray of shots. Everybody's in the pool.

336
00:13:37.330 --> 00:13:39.610
And I bring them out like traditional, man. And here

337
00:13:39.629 --> 00:13:42.350
I'm doing shots with Dave Grohl and Rita and all

338
00:13:42.370 --> 00:13:43.750
these other famous musicians.

339
00:13:44.149 --> 00:13:46.250
And I'm like, what is my life? It's pretty good.

340
00:13:46.690 --> 00:13:47.289
I can't complain.

341
00:13:47.509 --> 00:13:48.309
I can't complain.

342
00:13:48.570 --> 00:13:50.610
I was at Dime Bash and he was right there

343
00:13:50.669 --> 00:13:52.620
cooking up all the food. Yeah, man.

344
00:13:52.649 --> 00:13:54.759
He's a grilling fool, man. He smells like meat and cheese.

345
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:55.720
I love Dave Grohl.

346
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:56.799
There you go.

347
00:13:57.100 --> 00:13:59.240
He smells like beef and cheese, like Santa Claus.

348
00:14:00.379 --> 00:14:01.139
What's your thoughts?

349
00:14:01.539 --> 00:14:02.279
What are your thoughts, Ryan?

350
00:14:03.779 --> 00:14:04.360
In general?

351
00:14:04.379 --> 00:14:10.360
No. Wherever you want to take that. It's your world.

352
00:14:10.409 --> 00:14:11.360
I'm just living in it.

353
00:14:12.340 --> 00:14:13.519
I don't like the color purple.

354
00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:15.139
Okay.

355
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.059
Not the movie. Just the shade of purple.

356
00:14:18.460 --> 00:14:20.039
Is it all shades of purple?

357
00:14:20.139 --> 00:14:21.500
You can't see it.

358
00:14:21.509 --> 00:14:24.009
It really is. I don't like lavender. I don't like purple.

359
00:14:24.110 --> 00:14:26.769
I don't like... I don't even like fucking mauve.

360
00:14:28.110 --> 00:14:29.610
Brian's favorite color is gray.

361
00:14:30.970 --> 00:14:31.610
It is nice.

362
00:14:31.809 --> 00:14:34.889
I think it's Brown because the Browns won against the

363
00:14:34.909 --> 00:14:36.710
Pittsburgh Steelers. And this guy, I never heard him yell

364
00:14:36.730 --> 00:14:38.740
so loud. I'm on stage with this guy for like 20,

365
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:41.070
25 freaking years, you know, off and on.

366
00:14:41.429 --> 00:14:42.049
And here we are now.

367
00:14:42.429 --> 00:14:44.289
And I never heard him yell so loud as I've

368
00:14:44.330 --> 00:14:46.889
heard him yell at a Browns game when they've They

369
00:14:46.909 --> 00:14:47.809
beat the Pittsburgh Steelers.

370
00:14:47.850 --> 00:14:50.909
Browns fan, man. That's a miserable existence and everything. So

371
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:52.519
you start winning and shit.

372
00:14:52.580 --> 00:14:53.659
It's weird, man.

373
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.620
I know that feeling because I was a Giants fan

374
00:14:56.659 --> 00:14:59.779
all my life, and they sucked most of my childhood. Like,

375
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:05.100
we're the team that fumbled a kneel to lose the

376
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:05.740
Super Bowl.

377
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:06.799
I know, man.

378
00:15:06.899 --> 00:15:08.559
I was a Saints fan since they won.

379
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:09.240
Oh, a kneel?

380
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:09.860
Yeah.

381
00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:14.250
Joe Pasarczyk. Joe Pasarczyk. The ball hit his knee. He

382
00:15:14.269 --> 00:15:14.909
had a big knee.

383
00:15:15.490 --> 00:15:17.830
He had a big knee.

384
00:15:17.870 --> 00:15:20.129
You know, he got one big knee. He hit the

385
00:15:20.169 --> 00:15:20.669
wrong knee.

386
00:15:22.509 --> 00:15:24.299
He had a big knee.

387
00:15:25.980 --> 00:15:26.279
Yeah.

388
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:27.879
Blame it on his one big knee.

389
00:15:28.139 --> 00:15:32.399
I would say it was his knee. If you had to.

390
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:36.759
Say what part of the snake it was, what would

391
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:38.570
you say? I'd say it was his knee.

392
00:15:39.450 --> 00:15:41.190
What part of that is Nicky eating? Dude, I grew

393
00:15:41.210 --> 00:15:41.649
up with the Aints.

394
00:15:41.690 --> 00:15:44.269
My dad took me to football in the Superdome in

395
00:15:44.289 --> 00:15:46.149
like 77, 78 when they first started. And my dad's like, hey,

396
00:15:46.190 --> 00:15:47.110
put this bag on your head.

397
00:15:47.909 --> 00:15:48.570
This is football.

398
00:15:49.049 --> 00:15:49.529
The Aints.

399
00:15:49.710 --> 00:15:50.789
And he wrote the Aints on it. So I'm wearing

400
00:15:50.809 --> 00:15:52.730
a bag on my head. I'm like eight years old.

401
00:15:52.750 --> 00:15:54.129
I'm like, what is this?

402
00:15:54.289 --> 00:15:55.600
Usually his dad would try to get him to put

403
00:15:55.620 --> 00:15:57.500
like a plastic bag on his head.

404
00:15:57.529 --> 00:15:59.669
Plastic bag. Just suck on this for a little bit, son.

405
00:15:59.820 --> 00:16:06.309
Was Archie close? Was Archie quarterback, man?

406
00:16:06.370 --> 00:16:09.539
Archie Manning, bro. I got a signed football from Archie Manning, bro.

407
00:16:09.580 --> 00:16:09.860
Nice.

408
00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:11.100
He threw a football at me and hit me in

409
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.250
the face. I was like the retard kid and I

410
00:16:13.250 --> 00:16:15.370
didn't catch it. My dad got Archie Manning to throw

411
00:16:15.389 --> 00:16:16.809
me a football. I can't make this up, man.

412
00:16:18.169 --> 00:16:20.610
I'm a special kid. What do you say nowadays, dude?

413
00:16:20.629 --> 00:16:21.950
I don't know. Autistic.

414
00:16:22.529 --> 00:16:24.029
I guess I'm the autistic kid that got hit in

415
00:16:24.049 --> 00:16:25.570
the face by a football.

416
00:16:25.710 --> 00:16:27.429
Neurodivergent.

417
00:16:27.529 --> 00:16:33.139
Neurodivergent. Neurodivergent is what my wife says now. Yes. Neurodivergent

418
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:34.980
sounds professional, like I'm a scientist or some shit.

419
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:35.899
Yeah, exactly.

420
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.440
I'm a neurodivergent space explorer.

421
00:16:38.460 --> 00:16:41.559
Well, think of it. Sheldon is a scientist, so it

422
00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:42.059
makes sense.

423
00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:42.659
It makes sense.

424
00:16:43.580 --> 00:16:45.559
Sheldon Cooper, yes. He's a scientist.

425
00:16:45.779 --> 00:16:46.179
Did you know that?

426
00:16:46.700 --> 00:16:48.259
He's a neurodivergent scientist.

427
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:53.879
No.

428
00:16:54.629 --> 00:16:56.330
This is the greatest interview of my life. Thank you.

429
00:16:56.610 --> 00:16:57.509
I'm going to write this down.

430
00:16:57.990 --> 00:17:00.110
When people say the best interview, I have to question

431
00:17:01.149 --> 00:17:02.450
the pipe man right here.

432
00:17:03.250 --> 00:17:03.929
And Aftershock.

433
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:05.799
And Drowning Pool.

434
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:07.799
2026.

435
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:08.660
Oh.

436
00:17:09.009 --> 00:17:09.940
I live across the universe.

437
00:17:10.190 --> 00:17:10.890
Multiverses.

438
00:17:11.369 --> 00:17:13.549
I love the fact that he's looking for what year

439
00:17:14.430 --> 00:17:16.069
it was.

440
00:17:16.069 --> 00:17:16.829
20... 20... 26!

441
00:17:16.829 --> 00:17:17.170
Right.

442
00:17:17.569 --> 00:17:19.009
I live in the future. I live in the past. Whatever.

443
00:17:19.470 --> 00:17:20.089
I don't live in the past.

444
00:17:20.130 --> 00:17:22.700
I live in the future. What year is good?

445
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:23.339
I'm a space man.

446
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.299
What year is good in the future? 2028 is pretty good, too.

447
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:27.319
And also 2031... Wait, but.

448
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:27.460
Wait.

449
00:17:31.049 --> 00:17:33.150
The end of humanity is supposed to be the end

450
00:17:33.190 --> 00:17:34.910
of this decade. So how are we going to be

451
00:17:34.930 --> 00:17:35.039
in 2030?

452
00:17:35.019 --> 00:17:37.039
Well, if they stop messing with computers, bro, and go

453
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:41.480
back to sticks and fire and rocks, like basic stuff,

454
00:17:41.819 --> 00:17:43.380
stop messing with the computers.

455
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:45.319
Did you see Terminator 2? Did you see Terminator?

456
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:45.759
Exactly.

457
00:17:46.700 --> 00:17:49.529
There's a kid's show called The Mitchells. Did you ever

458
00:17:49.569 --> 00:17:53.049
watch The Mitchells? Stop effing with.

459
00:17:53.089 --> 00:17:54.750
Don't build more factories and computers.

460
00:17:54.789 --> 00:17:55.289
Destroy.

461
00:17:55.509 --> 00:17:58.549
You know what? Destroy the plastic. Destroy the plastic computers.

462
00:17:58.789 --> 00:18:02.809
Destroy your hard drives. Go back to four-track recorders, eight-track recorders.

463
00:18:03.130 --> 00:18:04.900
I want tape. I want shit on tape. I don't

464
00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:07.079
want anything on digital. Destroy digital.

465
00:18:07.380 --> 00:18:08.160
Now. Hey.

466
00:18:08.940 --> 00:18:10.220
And then the computer's going to come get me.

467
00:18:10.259 --> 00:18:13.000
But then what would all the young bands do if

468
00:18:13.059 --> 00:18:14.380
they can push a button?

469
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:14.700
Suck.

470
00:18:15.819 --> 00:18:18.849
Well, that's true. I'm not going to argue with you there.

471
00:18:18.869 --> 00:18:20.750
The computer ruined everything.

472
00:18:21.470 --> 00:18:24.490
People, society.

473
00:18:24.549 --> 00:18:28.529
The biggest thing is that the powers that be created

474
00:18:28.569 --> 00:18:29.990
a society that sucks.

475
00:18:30.779 --> 00:18:31.740
And here we are.

476
00:18:32.019 --> 00:18:33.599
We have to follow the Roman Empire.

477
00:18:34.059 --> 00:18:37.559
So the water supply was coming down and they took

478
00:18:37.579 --> 00:18:38.220
the bricks and stuff.

479
00:18:41.259 --> 00:18:43.759
He's from Men in Black to come get.

480
00:18:44.019 --> 00:18:45.569
He's about to grab me because I said something. He's

481
00:18:45.589 --> 00:18:46.369
coming for me right now.

482
00:18:46.420 --> 00:18:48.009
He's coming for me right now.

483
00:18:48.250 --> 00:18:50.190
Hey, computers, I was just kidding, guys. Don't kill me yet.

484
00:18:50.250 --> 00:18:53.690
You were talking about the multiverse. Nobody's supposed to know

485
00:18:53.730 --> 00:18:54.630
about the multiverse.

486
00:18:54.650 --> 00:18:57.789
It was the monkeyverse I was talking about. Did I

487
00:18:57.789 --> 00:19:00.190
say multi? Multi monkey? It sounds the same.

488
00:19:00.210 --> 00:19:02.660
How about Monty?

489
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:09.230
Multiverse. I'll stick with that. I love you, man. Thanks

490
00:19:09.250 --> 00:19:10.509
for dealing with me. You're my best friend.

491
00:19:10.589 --> 00:19:12.890
This is why people should come to your live show

492
00:19:12.910 --> 00:19:14.210
because you just have a good time.

493
00:19:14.230 --> 00:19:15.710
You just have a good time, man. You had a

494
00:19:15.750 --> 00:19:18.329
rock show. You know what? Check out your house.

495
00:19:18.349 --> 00:19:20.730
When we walked in here, I saw you. It made

496
00:19:20.750 --> 00:19:21.309
me feel good.

497
00:19:21.730 --> 00:19:22.430
Well, thank you.

498
00:19:22.789 --> 00:19:24.150
I was looking forward to talking to you because we

499
00:19:24.170 --> 00:19:24.869
always have the best time.

500
00:19:25.069 --> 00:19:26.730
We just took it to the next level, bro.

501
00:19:26.970 --> 00:19:30.309
You guys came in. I saw you. And then you

502
00:19:30.349 --> 00:19:32.259
went to somebody else. I'm like, what the fuck?

503
00:19:32.619 --> 00:19:35.920
Why did you come to me first, bro? Because there's

504
00:19:35.980 --> 00:19:37.579
a schedule or something, man.

505
00:19:37.700 --> 00:19:41.380
Oh, I know. You were late. You were late, by

506
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.210
the way. But that's you're on time. You're on time.

507
00:19:45.230 --> 00:19:48.849
Stop being a backyard party band on stage and be professional.

508
00:19:49.109 --> 00:19:51.200
Makes no sense to me. I'm on stage having fun.

509
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:52.819
You should have fun.

510
00:19:52.900 --> 00:19:53.059
Right.

511
00:19:53.099 --> 00:19:54.440
Come to my house. You have a good time.

512
00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:58.019
You had a rock show. You checked out of work.

513
00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:01.180
You're here in a field of grass. And it could be,

514
00:20:01.460 --> 00:20:02.960
you know, cows used to come here and piss and

515
00:20:02.980 --> 00:20:03.549
shit on the ground.

516
00:20:03.569 --> 00:20:04.269
You had to have fun.

517
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:06.430
What the fuck is she wearing? That's not a fucking skirt.

518
00:20:06.490 --> 00:20:07.210
She's not wearing anything.

519
00:20:07.779 --> 00:20:08.859
Okay, now, now.

520
00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:10.839
I'm distracted now.

521
00:20:10.900 --> 00:20:15.809
Now, now. It's 2026. You got to be careful.

522
00:20:15.829 --> 00:20:16.549
PC time now.

523
00:20:16.569 --> 00:20:17.329
Watch out.

524
00:20:17.380 --> 00:20:20.130
You got to be careful. Okay, that brings me to

525
00:20:20.170 --> 00:20:23.029
a question. That'll be our final question.

526
00:20:23.170 --> 00:20:25.910
Okay. When you said let the bodies split the floor,

527
00:20:25.950 --> 00:20:26.430
did you mean it?

528
00:20:26.430 --> 00:20:26.930
Yes.

529
00:20:26.970 --> 00:20:28.809
We're going to carry this motherfucker on.

530
00:20:28.890 --> 00:20:30.309
When I said let the bodies split the floor, did

531
00:20:30.329 --> 00:20:32.109
you mean it? I did, but they always catch them.

532
00:20:32.529 --> 00:20:34.849
They don't listen to the song. Let the bodies split

533
00:20:34.869 --> 00:20:36.789
the floor means jump off the stage. You just make

534
00:20:36.829 --> 00:20:37.190
a big hole.

535
00:20:38.450 --> 00:20:40.980
No, please catch him. I haven't done enough song lawsuits.

536
00:20:41.180 --> 00:20:42.220
What's the question?

537
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:47.000
What band in your lifetime, if they were around now

538
00:20:47.099 --> 00:20:52.589
in 2026, would get cancelled?

539
00:20:52.619 --> 00:20:54.430
Mozart? Even though he's a genius?

540
00:20:55.309 --> 00:20:56.349
Why would he get cancelled?

541
00:20:56.609 --> 00:20:59.470
Because he's just too good. Nobody wants to hang out

542
00:20:59.490 --> 00:21:01.349
with Mozart because he just smokes you.

543
00:21:02.690 --> 00:21:03.150
You, Ryan?

544
00:21:03.750 --> 00:21:05.460
He's thinkin'. He's thinking.

545
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:06.940
There he goes thinking again.

546
00:21:07.099 --> 00:21:08.599
I hear that Jeopardy music.

547
00:21:12.819 --> 00:21:16.240
They're on stage tonight at Public Enemy.

548
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:19.000
Yeah, I want to go see them.

549
00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:19.740
Yeah, same here.

550
00:21:20.099 --> 00:21:20.819
Same stage.

551
00:21:20.900 --> 00:21:23.660
When we got here this morning, they were doing soundcheck.

552
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:27.539
I was like, they were doing like certain little aspects

553
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:28.000
that I heard.

554
00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:28.539
I was like, right.

555
00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:29.150
I heard it too.

556
00:21:29.180 --> 00:21:29.940
They were on the bill.

557
00:21:30.529 --> 00:21:33.289
So, like, just before we went on, I saw they

558
00:21:33.309 --> 00:21:35.789
were playing on the same stage, main stage tonight. And

559
00:21:35.829 --> 00:21:39.880
I was like, holy shit, fucking Public Enemy, man. But, yeah,

560
00:21:39.930 --> 00:21:43.759
I mean, when you think about how political their songs

561
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:45.940
were back in the day, they would never let that

562
00:21:45.980 --> 00:21:47.799
shit fly today because they could keep you in the

563
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:48.380
fucking dark.

564
00:21:48.420 --> 00:21:51.529
They'd never let it fly. No, fuck that. So, yeah,

565
00:21:51.569 --> 00:21:51.990
Public Enemy.

566
00:21:52.009 --> 00:21:55.269
That's a good one that you picked there. In fact...

567
00:21:56.170 --> 00:21:57.109
Was this this morning?

568
00:21:57.470 --> 00:22:00.130
Dude, thank you for the William Shatner.

569
00:22:00.369 --> 00:22:02.609
This was this morning when they were what you were

570
00:22:02.650 --> 00:22:04.589
just talking about when they were soundchecking.

571
00:22:04.609 --> 00:22:06.099
They were soundchecking and we were on stage trying to

572
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.099
get our stuff together. And you got it on film.

573
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:09.940
With a couple hot girls.

574
00:22:10.339 --> 00:22:11.680
And these girls with the boobs.

575
00:22:11.940 --> 00:22:14.000
They're right up there. They're the bartenders.

576
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:14.819
They all have boobs.

577
00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:18.279
They're the bartenders. Right up there. Right up there.

578
00:22:18.299 --> 00:22:20.089
Oh my god, that's who you're hanging out with. What's up, friends?

579
00:22:20.369 --> 00:22:20.900
It really is.

580
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.809
It really is. Look at that.

581
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:26.440
So, we're drawing a pool. We play at the Bison floor.

582
00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:28.720
Come see us play. It's a backyard barbecue, but we're

583
00:22:28.740 --> 00:22:29.380
still professional.

584
00:22:29.579 --> 00:22:32.279
Tune in. Pipe man. It's been awesome, dude.

585
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:36.039
It's been totally awesome. And now you can go up

586
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.960
to those girls and get some alcohol. I bet I don't.

587
00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:40.460
I bet I don't.

588
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:43.119
I want to stay at this table all day long.

589
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:45.000
I just want to talk to you through the other interview.

590
00:22:45.019 --> 00:22:46.240
I want to see what happens next.

591
00:22:46.539 --> 00:22:46.980
I know, right?

592
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:48.319
Tell me how fun your next interview is.

593
00:22:48.339 --> 00:22:50.519
Have you seen... Look at those pants over there. I

594
00:22:50.539 --> 00:22:52.700
want those pants. You see those pants with the frilly things?

595
00:22:52.740 --> 00:22:55.529
Yeah. With the frilly things? With the frilly things.

596
00:22:55.609 --> 00:22:57.809
I think we should put on short whitey tighties and

597
00:22:57.849 --> 00:22:58.990
frilly things for the next show.

598
00:22:59.549 --> 00:22:59.900
Do it.

599
00:22:59.910 --> 00:23:00.750
I like frilly things.

600
00:23:01.369 --> 00:23:01.869
I dare you.

601
00:23:01.890 --> 00:23:03.329
Hey, man. I'm free balling.

602
00:23:03.430 --> 00:23:04.240
I don't think you'll do it.

603
00:23:04.250 --> 00:23:09.539
Free balling. Because I'm free. Free balling.

604
00:23:10.259 --> 00:23:13.920
Yeah I got my guitar in front you can't see

605
00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:16.819
the balls anyway but my guitar smacks against him and

606
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:17.119
I'm like.

607
00:23:17.220 --> 00:23:19.599
Ow that guy hurts I was gonna say that would

00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:20.339

a blast that.

613
00:23:31.410 --> 00:23:33.349
Guy looks like he'd twist somebody's fucking head.

614
00:23:33.230 --> 00:23:36.569
Off oh yeah he'd fucking he would just crush your

615
00:23:36.630 --> 00:23:39.490
head in two seconds man He would.

616
00:23:39.410 --> 00:23:41.329
Crush my head inside of his armpit, and the last

617
00:23:41.349 --> 00:23:42.799
thing I'd smell is his armpit, and then my head

618
00:23:42.819 --> 00:23:44.200
would be crushed, and it would be like, oh, my God,

619
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:44.940
this is terrible.

620
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:46.099
That would be a horrible way to go.

621
00:23:46.660 --> 00:23:47.160
That's not.

622
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:49.619
Drowning in a pool would be the horrible way to go,

623
00:23:49.660 --> 00:23:51.359
because it's like, oh, my God, CJ from Drowning in

624
00:23:51.380 --> 00:23:52.529

worst headline ever.

626
00:23:53.349 --> 00:23:54.930
That's the way it's going to go. All right.

627
00:23:54.950 --> 00:23:55.789
I think that's going to happen.

628
00:23:55.809 --> 00:23:57.250
