number one internet radio station. Here's your

4
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:39.600
host, the White Man. I

5
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:46.520
cat. God Bower co the Cabby, I try can nerve and vibrate the

6
00:00:46.719 --> 00:01:06.719
word my cat. All back on
my bridges about. This is the pipe

7
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:08.840
Man here on the Adventures pipe Man
W four c Y Radio. And I'm

8
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:15.879
here with c J from Drowning Pool
and Ryan also from Drowning Pool. I

9
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.840
like how you did it too.
It was like kind of a little slayer

10
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:25.840
thing to it, Like Ryan Roy. That's that's a that's a tired dome

11
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.000
god. I don't be bad.
I don't want that Christian Baleman. I'm

12
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.040
Batman. No, that is a
tired voice. I like to think of

13
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.519
my Batman as like Ryan McCombs.
He should do it. I like to

14
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:42.319
think of my Batman like a like
a young Shania Twain. Oh yeah,

15
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.680
tell us, what tell us?
Why? Maybe maybe Bette Midler Bet Middler,

16
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.120
Bet Middler is Batman. I think
that'd be bat Middler. Is that

17
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.439
tomatoes? Was that? I think? So? I think you should combine

18
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.760
fried green tomatoes with Batman. And
that's what you got. You got Bette

19
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:04.040
Midler as Batman. And it's not
Julia Roberts as the Joker. Okay,

20
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.400
she got that big. It's a
brit like the ghost buses with all ladies.

21
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.479
But but then it's it's Batman.
But it's not like Batwoman. But

22
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.159
it's all and you had to go
to the today it's twenty twenty four.

23
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.759
She's not Batwoman, she's Batman,
bad person. There you go, or

24
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.360
just bat shit, just the bats. We're in the United States. I

25
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:27.199
forgot you right right? You know
what's funny that you brought that up?

26
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.719
So pipe man, there's a whole
play on my show, like relative to

27
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:36.479
Batman, Like I have the pipe
cave, I have the pipe puter,

28
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.080
the pipe phone. Like if you
air dropped me something right now, it

29
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.800
would pull up on your ses pipe
going with you, electrician, you're running

30
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.400
pipe? Are you just laying a
pipe? Like? Here's what's funny.

31
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:49.960
Every band asks that, and multiple
bands maybe you want to do it too,

32
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.159
have like before they knew what it
was, they just wrote a song,

33
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:58.400
right in the interview and like I
have pipe man songs that bands have

34
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:00.800
done during the end of man a
man like a bread fan best pipe man.

35
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.759
I thought you were man. I
thought you were going to spoon man,

36
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.680
spoon man four point saddle pipe being
a man electrician. That's that's I

37
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:13.439
like to think of my pipe man. I got bread fan now too.

38
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.680
Yeah, you got bread fan on
the brain right there? Like man,

39
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.400
there you go, there it is, you got it? So yeah,

40
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.360
my last name is Piper. That's
where it comes from. That's a cool

41
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:29.120
last last name. Man. Right, nice, but even my kids call

42
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:36.520
me pipe man. Now it's fine. So I have some music. I

43
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.840
have some trivia for you. Not
music trivia, but trivia. I'm asking

44
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:44.680
every band and let's see if you
win. You ready, I bet we

45
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:50.000
don't. Why are those chairs colored? So it looks like on TV that

46
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.960
there's a lot of people in the
crowd when there isn't. Nice. It's

47
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.039
all great to me. Maybe I'm
colorblind. Oh no, yeah, yeah,

48
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.759
I see what you see. That
person right up there, I just

49
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.360
got through gray wire. They're all
gray. That person took my lunch money

50
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:09.479
when I was in fifth grade.
That fucker. Let's go get them guy,

51
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.000
just Garrett, you see all the
people that took the lunch money.

52
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.600
You got to throw his change back
in the face already, I can tell

53
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.279
you after like thirty interviews, this
is probably the most fun. So hey,

54
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.839
we'd have a good time, because
that's what it's about. We should

55
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:25.680
be having fun. Is in my
drink right now? How many bucks?

56
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.879
That's what That's why you have acid
reflux right there? Hungry. You can't

57
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.040
be drinking dirt. That's what my
mom used to tell me all the time

58
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:39.120
too. Instead trade for some mescal
and eat the worm. Have you ever

59
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.920
done that? I have? And
I've also I drank from the snake.

60
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.040
There was a snake. Oh and
we're over and God were overseas and it

61
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:47.920
was pretty pretty sick and discusting.
But they had a snake and some kind

62
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.720
of moonshining thing and I was all
rock and roll. We all what I

63
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:55.160
did, it was like, wow, throw up in front everybody, don't

64
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.399
you do it? Just down aside, keep it down there. Wow.

65
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.279
Yeah. When I was a teen
major before, when you didn't need a

66
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:05.600
passport to get to Mexico, I
lived in La and I would drive my

67
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:10.879
friends down to the border and we'd
walk over and go party in Tijuana and

68
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.680
yeah, I annoy show, but
it's really a horse show. And the

69
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.399
next thing, you know, it's
like it's kind of sick, like why

70
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.920
am I watching this? And you're
fucking eating worms? So like it it's

71
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:27.720
just normal. Yeah, he's got
some memories from Tijuana. I can tell.

72
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.199
No, I crossed the border.
I didn't expect it to go here.

73
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:38.839
Some of my family's a border town
in Brownsville. So like we went,

74
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.839
we went from how you doing to
Tijuana hooker. I don't know what

75
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:46.279
I know? Right? A donkey
a donkey show, that's ita maybe drowning

76
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.240
pull From now on, should bring
a donkey on stage and have a donkey

77
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:54.360
show. Like we had a thing
with goat. His name was Josiah.

78
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.680
His name is Josiah. He's the
donkey. And do you do goat yoga?

79
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.879
Oh yes, I took the kids
to go. It's funny you mentioned

80
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:02.279
that, and it was fun like
they had fun with it. But yeah,

81
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.199
like all the mats that had like
a little a little trails of poop

82
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.399
on it, so we had to
throw their yoga mats away, but they

83
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:10.439
did. I had to watch the
matter. It's fine. It was fine.

84
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:15.399
Yeah, I mean listen, Yeah, you haven't lived life till goats

85
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.959
pooped on you. You know,
it's very relaxing. Why do you bring

86
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:26.839
it up? It's very relaxing,
Like goat poops on you. You pay

87
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.600
money for these things, nowaday,
Yeah, people pay money to get pooped

88
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:34.720
on. I'm thinking we should never
hang out. Maybe we should talk about

89
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.920
these things. So let's switch gears. We're here at Yeah, let's talk

90
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:43.199
about music. What a concept?
Right? That's is that what you do?

91
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.040
I think? Is that why I'm
here? Or we are you guys

92
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.399
racing today? You know, I
wanted to get I was on the track

93
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:51.399
a few times. I didn't realize
how Stanard it is. I know,

94
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:57.319
it's like, it's crazy, right, I'm taking it to be a part

95
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.319
of this though. I aspect of
all doing there today, which is what

96
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:05.399
brings everybody together today, is the
music aspect of everything. And that Danny

97
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:09.680
brought us into the fold on this
one and then the rest of the Dandy

98
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:13.199
Wemmer shows this summer. It's just
cool to be a part of it because

99
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:17.279
I mean, for us, I
mean it's absolutely awesome to be able to

100
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:23.879
take the stage and and spend time
with the people that allow you to do

101
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.439
what you do, you know,
the things out there and stuff and the

102
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.800
people that take time out of their
lives to come out to the shows like

103
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.000
this. But it's also very cool
to be a part of it because,

104
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.839
like backstage, you get to see
a lot of bands and a lot of

105
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:38.879
crew guys that you've spent time with
on the road, and you get to

106
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:40.879
kind of catch up. You know, how the kids are doing and how

107
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.360
the family's doing and all that,
and so it's nice on so many different

108
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:48.199
aspects to be back into doing this
show. Like this show and the rest

109
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:50.879
of the shows are coming up this
summer again, and just a big,

110
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:55.000
big thank you to Danny for having
us out. Yeah, you know what,

111
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:59.600
Like one thing I can say,
I do all kinds of festivals here

112
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:05.600
UK, Europe. The one thing
that every artist ever says is all kinds

113
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.439
of praise about Danny Wimmer and the
festivals, because most of the other festivals,

114
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:16.160
you guys don't have a good time
at. Usually it's he he's gotten

115
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.199
now down. Because I've lived in
the UK for the last seven years,

116
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.000
so I'm very familiar with the like
the Hell fest in France, and the

117
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.800
Download in the UK, and then
Bloodstock in the UK and and you you

118
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:33.039
know, Whacking in Germany and all. You know, there's so many good

119
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:37.279
ones, grass pop and everything,
and it's a science over there. It's

120
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.080
a way of life over there.
You can't ask somebody in the UK if

121
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.879
they're going to download because they look
at you like yeah, three heads,

122
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:50.159
like right, So I'm going down
exactly right. And so it's like they

123
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.840
have the festival thing down to a
science over there, and Danny has the

124
00:08:54.919 --> 00:09:00.320
same thing going on the States,
and it's it's awesome to see say it

125
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.879
all the time that he took the
template from over there where they do it

126
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.000
right, because a lot of the
other festivals they're like being at the fair,

127
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.960
you know, even with the food. Danny always has good food here

128
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.720
and he takes care of the artists. And when I found that's a press

129
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:24.559
persus over there. They look at
media like media like they treat you differently

130
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.320
than over here. But Danny also
treats you good here. You know,

131
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.799
it's like because he just knows that
it's about all of us together, one

132
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:39.240
big family that makes that massive crowd
that's out there today. We have that

133
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:41.519
connection today on stage. Man,
it was amazing to play for so many

134
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.200
people. Did you did blow your
mind how crowded it was when you played?

135
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.519
Did you know you never know what
to expect them. It was just

136
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:50.679
so many people, a lot of
fans that we played for, you know.

137
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.480
I mean, we've been doing this
someone with twenty five years now,

138
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.840
and it did see Oh hey see
you see we're playing a song. You

139
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.080
know, to see so many people
that you know and they just reconnect with

140
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.799
Man, it was amazing, dude. Yeah, and I mean it is.

141
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:09.240
I think this is the highest attended
festival of all Danny Wimmer festivals ever

142
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.519
since the beginning. I had a
lot of people there. So the footage

143
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:16.399
I've seen online from the past few
days has been just amazing. And some

144
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.399
of the special moments like Ann Wilson
going up with a disturbed Oh now you're

145
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.960
hitting a sore spot for me.
I gotta tell you why. No,

146
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:28.279
it's a great one. I'll tell
you why. Here's a funny story.

147
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.919
So I was at ICP got sprayed
with fago, you know, I was

148
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.320
up in the photo pit area and
yeah, well that was gonna happen.

149
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.919
And then I'm like I had to
go see Kerry King. Okay, amen?

150
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:48.080
So I left and like the ICP
crowd like they're on the far little

151
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.600
stage. I couldn't get out,
like I was trying to get out,

152
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:56.799
and then I finally got to carry
what I thought was Kerrie's stage. Fought

153
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:01.399
my way through the crowd to get
where the pitt's going to be. But

154
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.200
I didn't really have to fight.
I knew there was something wrong right then

155
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.120
because it's like people were just moving
out of my way this I'm like,

156
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:11.000
this is a slayer crowd. I
should be having an elbow people to get

157
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.799
to the pit, and it's like
they're just let me walk to the pit,

158
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:20.120
like and then when the set starts, there's like this red and white

159
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.039
lights and so it was very believable
that was carry King because of red and

160
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.840
white lights. And then David Draymond
came out and I was like, fuck,

161
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:35.000
I'm at the wrong stage. One
thing. Oh it sounds like like

162
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.279
is this water? Is this sprite? You know? He's like, I

163
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.720
have you still love both? Is
this pe or is this like ginger Arow?

164
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.279
I don't know right, but you
love them both? They disturbed and

165
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.240
the carry king them both. You
just thought you were going to see one.

166
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:52.399
Well, that's why he hit a
sore spot. It didn't at all.

167
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.279
I think I know, right,
that's why he hit a sore spot.

168
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.440
Because then I'm like, okay,
we're at here, and I'm like,

169
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.039
let's go. And I had to
go through this never ending Disturbed crowd

170
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:07.240
like it was never ending. I
thought I was just doing circles. I

171
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.679
turned to who I was with,
I was like, this is never ending.

172
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:13.559
I hope we went the right way. And then I finally got to

173
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.799
Kerry King and then I hear Ann
Wilson's on stage with Disturbed. I'm like,

174
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.840
fuck me, Oh dude, you
missed it. Yeah, I missed

175
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:24.480
it. How cool is that?
Man? Right? But I was at

176
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.200
carry King and I was in the
pit for Rain and Blood and Black Magic,

177
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:33.480
so trade off. I was hoping. I think one of these nights,

178
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.360
one of these festivals were on the
same night as as Carrie. I'm

179
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.320
looking forward to that because I haven't
seen that far. I surprised him before

180
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.159
the interview of Who's singing? Talking
about it? Man, I gotta give

181
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.080
him some ship when I see him
because his raiders are sucking ass right now.

182
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.120
So yeah, right, do you
know who the singer is. Let's

183
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:54.919
see if you know better than your
bandmate here, dude, Death, Angela

184
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:01.120
my favorite bands, yep. I
mean it was badass it carry King Wow.

185
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.720
I can't wait to see it.
I can't wait till I'm at the

186
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.600
festival and get to see Kerry King
and Slayer on the same day, because

187
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.440
that's gonna happen this year. It's
gonna happen. It's happening this year.

188
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:16.600
Slayer like fucking Slayer, but better
yet. Drowning Pool. Drowning Pool.

189
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.519
We still can't. That's better than
Slayer, better than carry King? Whoa,

190
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:26.399
whoa? Back it up? I
play guitar account the four come on

191
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:30.120
right, it's Slayer, Raindom Blood. I remember, I remember. If

192
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.960
I can talk about you can talk
about whatever. Ye yeah. It was

193
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:41.159
it singing for a band Soil,
and we were going from Germany to England

194
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:46.679
to do a festival to do download
and our bus broke down so we had

195
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:52.360
to make that drive like in second
gear. So we're creeping to England and

196
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.919
they're like, you're going miss your
time slot and everything, and all of

197
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.240
a sudden they were like, you
go miss your time slot. But Slayer

198
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:03.159
hasn't arrived yet either, so if
Slayer doesn't show up, you're gonna have

199
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:05.440
their time slot. And the only
thing I could think, WHOA, The

200
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.559
only thing I think of. The
only thing I think of was was,

201
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.120
man, I want to play because
we were on main stage that year,

202
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.159
so I was like, I want
to play, but I don't want to

203
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:22.440
be the guys that replaced fucking Slayer, right because their crowd kick our ass.

204
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.000
But but we ended up missing our
slot. They came in just in

205
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.120
the niked times, so they got
the Slayer slot, But Drowning Pool had

206
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:33.200
us on stage and we did Halo
at the end of At the end of

207
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:39.120
the Drowning Pool says nice. Nice, what you got going after Rockville?

208
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:41.720
What else that's going on? We
got one day off and then we're back

209
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:48.080
on the road again with Saliva Saliva
Us and Abuff Snakes and we're basically doing

210
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:54.320
that tour package in between some festivals
and different bike rallies and the stuff that

211
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.639
we're doing. Nice June July,
man, we just it's been stacked and

212
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:01.360
then you're gonna go back out with
sol August. Were you busy? Yeah,

213
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.559
I've got some other stuff, but
all summer long, it's dronical.

214
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.159
I love it. It's awesome to
be on all through the year, I

215
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:11.639
mean until the end of the year, back and forth with the drawing pol

216
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.919
stuff. There's we've got, We've
got Louder than Life and After Shock coming

217
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:22.279
up, and what is that August
After Shock's in October that's my birthday weekend

218
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.039
and Louder in Life than September.
All right, So yeah, we're doing

219
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:31.039
those two with dates connected in between. And we haven't announced the bands we're

220
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.279
taking out with us that time yet, so I can't say anything about that.

221
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.679
But yeah, we're just staying busy
four writing new music. We're recording

222
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.360
new Yeah, we've done recorded some
new music. Nice. We're just enjoying.

223
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:43.799
I want to again. I want
to hear about the new music and

224
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:48.120
see, I like what you just
said there, enjoying. Like, if

225
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.000
you're not having fun in this industry, you're in the wrong industry. Fun

226
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:52.600
doing it. Don't stop doing it, man, don't waste your time,

227
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:54.960
don't wish your life, like,
find what makes you happy and find your

228
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.360
passion and go after it. And
it's not ever easy, you know,

229
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:00.799
we gotta fight for it. But
enjoy life, man, have fun.

230
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:02.799
With it. Absolutely. I'll cut
out the negative people in your life,

231
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:07.120
cut out all that bullshit and get
on with your happy self exactly. And

232
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.440
like you can tell when you look
at a band on stage, you can

233
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:12.919
tell if they're having fun or if
they're just going through motions. And if

234
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:15.799
they're going through emotions, I'm out
no matter how good they are. I

235
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.600
want I want to see bands like
you that are up there just having a

236
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.720
fucking blast. I mean, we're
friends again, Mike, Steve and myself

237
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.240
in high school. We know you
know Ryan since like two thousand thousand and

238
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.399
one. It's just awesome to play
in the band with your best friends,

239
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.679
like for years and years and years. That's real. On stage, that's

240
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.240
okay. And if we have a
band now you see that too. But

241
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:34.960
hey, it's fun to drummers stuck
behind the drums so you can spit on

242
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:42.399
he can't get up anyway. There
it is. Tell everybody how they can

243
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:48.320
check out all your merch and your
socials and your tour dates, Instagram and

244
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:52.240
the Facebook. We are setting up
the online store here with AKT. They

245
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:56.360
keep calling me and I just haven't
set it up yet, so that's my

246
00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:59.360
fault. But we'll have a lot
of cool one of the kind time stuff

247
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:03.080
on there would you'll be able to
get to through all the other the typical

248
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:07.599
social media's and all that crap.
There's also the drownning pool dot com,

249
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:12.720
dop your mom dot your mom dot
com, dot net, dot live dot

250
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:18.039
you should start a dot drowning pool
so you could be drowning pool dot drowning

251
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:25.519
pool. Oh there you go?
Can you do that? And how about

252
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:30.279
okay? So, as you know, a friend of mine is your merch

253
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.240
girl and she makes some cool did
she make cool ship for your merch?

254
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.200
She hasn't done all the cool stuff
we've talked about yet. She's been pretty

255
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:40.039
busy. She tells us she will, but she does because she's a liar,

256
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.839
and we have that on record.
She's awesome. We've been working together

257
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.559
hand in hand, but I keep
bringing new things into it fold. It's

258
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.640
fun for me, like all of
us in the band, like we're again

259
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:55.240
we're independent the label, the management
and we all do you know, everybody

260
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:56.559
takes a different role on the band, and for me lately with the merch,

261
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:00.880
especially with the tourist coming up,
it's fun to make different new and

262
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.160
stuff. So I'm just I'm kind
of throwing a lot out of right out

263
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.119
the gate. So she has a
lot of cool ideas of stuff that she's

264
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:10.759
gonna do as well. Nice thank
you, Melisten. She she hasn't really

265
00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:19.279
handled it well either. She's too
busy lying. I love it every once,

266
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:22.519
so I don't know what's going on, and I see her mouth moving,

267
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:29.000
I know it's just lies. Is
she the band politician? You might

268
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:33.359
as well? Yeah? Yeah right, and she's amazing unique. Is there

269
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.079
anything else you want to share with
the listeners? We haven't covered yet.

270
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:38.880
A lot of liar besides sposed to
have been a liar. No, No,

271
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.880
we do have some news music coming
out. Man, we're gonna be

272
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.279
torn. Come check out the show
because we also do this thing and I

273
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:48.240
love this about our band. Now
drawing to pool. We have a set

274
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.960
list and we change it every night. But we put that on stage and

275
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.759
even throughout the set it changes again, so I never know exactly what we're

276
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:56.880
gonna play. And I love this
and sometimes like a fan to like call

277
00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:59.920
out a song and stuff and we'll
just play it. So we're that kind

278
00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:03.759
of band. We're very interactive.
Well, you know, we want we

279
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:06.480
want to play your phone whatever song
you want to hear. See that's killer.

280
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:10.440
I love doing that because at somebody
that goes to so many shows,

281
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:15.039
like sometimes I get bored of seeing
some of the bands because I can repeat

282
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.319
even what they're saying in between songs. Oh regiment and like we don't you

283
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:21.920
know, we don't'll fly by the
seat of our pants before we're flying by

284
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:23.920
the seat of our pants, and
it's I love that happen. That's so

285
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.400
mean. And for me, it's
not a it's not a set set list

286
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:30.200
and like a you know, nothing's
like coordinated and stuff, and we just

287
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.000
fall ast backwards any good times.
Well, that's the way it should be.

288
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.240
That's what live music should be,
you know. On the album that's

289
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:44.400
different. Live it's just do whatever
feels right. And I want I want

290
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:48.759
to know, like I went to
this set and it's unique. Nobody else

291
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:51.759
saw that set, and that's the
way it should be. It's like the

292
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:56.480
Grateful Dead just louder. It's so
funny you said that, because that's exactly

293
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.559
what I was taking my vine,
you know, Like you guys need to

294
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:03.839
start it's cult following, like the
Dead that will go to every show because

295
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.400
they don't want to have that fear
of missing out. Do we every night

296
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:11.079
with something different going on? And
I love that any you know, even

297
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:14.799
if you even if we did for
some miracle play the same set, even

298
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:18.400
the crowd has a different vibe that
they're giving off. Yeah, I never

299
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.359
know where we're gonna play. See
that shows your true musicians and truly love

300
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:26.839
the art because even what you just
said, there's different fans, different vibes.

301
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.160
Do you have to feed off of
that? Yeah? Night as a

302
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.640
as a vocalist on stage, there's
like there's a couple of things that I

303
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:38.559
say that I want to get across
each night. There's a couple of points

304
00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:42.359
that I want to make. Yeah, Other than that, like you really

305
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:47.680
did you say today that Melissa was
a liar on the set? Tomorrow she's

306
00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:53.680
gonna know twice. It's but so
like there's always a couple of things that

307
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:59.000
you want to say, whether it's
about the moment you're about the time that

308
00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:03.039
we're in and life or whatever.
But other than that, man, the

309
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.200
show, a rock show should be
free flowing. Man, it should be

310
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.880
It shouldn't be some rigid friggin This
is what I'm going to say here,

311
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:12.720
and this is what I'm want to
say there, and this is what I

312
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:17.000
want to do here, and I'm
gonna do a David Lee Ross kick here.

313
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:21.119
Well, I still do it daily
kick it. I don't because I'll

314
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:22.640
rip my groin to ship, you'll
probably rip your hand. Yeah, but

315
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.480
that and don't. I can't get
my leg above my like my knee.

316
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:27.759
Yeah, I can't do that anywhere. I got to stretch in the grip.

317
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:32.079
But anyway, a rock show should
be I mean, it's a rock

318
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:36.720
show for ship, right, it's
a rock show man. So, speaking

319
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:45.319
of rock shows and music and drowning
pool in your whole musical journey, what's

320
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.200
the craziest story each one of you
has, Because it's probably a different story.

321
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.440
There's a lot of crazy ones.
I'm sure there is. That's why

322
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:56.240
it's such a hard question. If
you can't say, like you used to

323
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:57.359
be able to say things as you
say these things now, it would definitely

324
00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:00.160
be arrested for the rest of my
life tell you that, But nowadays you'd

325
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.200
be canceled because somebody take a fence
to it. We grew up in the

326
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:10.279
days of blazing saddles and ship when
people people made fun of everybody equally,

327
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:14.480
and everybody had a laugh and went
about their day. Nowadays, everybody wakes

328
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:18.000
up hoping that God, they're going
to be offended by something new. And

329
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.359
so I don't understand the world that
we live in today. Like if we

330
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.200
were, if we were halfway as
honest as what I wish we could be

331
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:29.480
in this day and age, we'd
be canceled in the fucking heartbeat, because

332
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:33.079
it's got such thin skin nowadays.
But but to a certain degree, a

333
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:38.279
rock show should just be a rock
in there, and just what I wish.

334
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:41.680
You didn't have to bite your tongue
so much nowadays, but you do.

335
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:44.880
And you know, when we were
kids, you said certain things.

336
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:48.279
They didn't really have the same mean
Like they put meaning to shit. Now

337
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.160
that was meaning to us. They
have their feelings hurt and feel important.

338
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:55.519
It's trying to intentially hurt you.
If I might want to hurt you,

339
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:56.880
I'm gonna hurt you. I'm gonna
tell you something. But like it's that's

340
00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.960
tongue in cheek. Man. It's
just like having fun, make fun of

341
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.039
me, you know, Like I'm
you know, my wife is she's Hispanic,

342
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:04.759
and I'm white. So like we
just we just make jokes all the

343
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:07.960
time. See white jokes, Spanish
chirts, whatever, man. And if

344
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.640
you can't make fun of yourself,
I mean, what good are you?

345
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.200
Look at your shirt? Okay,
So that is that the Southern version of

346
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.559
stranger this man. I love defight
things. We had Tony. I'm sorry,

347
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:23.640
Doug Saturary hanging out with Tony Satury
spices and when their family and like

348
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:26.960
he's always coming over cooking and stuff. So when you know Duck came by

349
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:30.519
today, it's just defried things.
I love it shirt for today. I

350
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:34.640
love it. So is there anything
else you guys want to share that we

351
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:38.480
haven't talked about yet. At the
end of the day, Like like you

352
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:45.160
said earlier, we all have fun. It's fun to have an interview like

353
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.880
this, a moment like this where
it's just free flowing. But like you

354
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.240
said earlier, we're all here for
a certain reason. I mean, there's

355
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:55.160
a core reason we're here, and
that's the music. And just like just

356
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:59.640
a big thank you to to to

00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:06.759

mind. And a big thanks to yourself

359

going to where we have that contact with
