00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:15.280
Radio. And we're here with what's
up of trauma with head pe Kid basse

10
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:22.599
with So everybody always thinks that's what
about for the listeners that didn't hear that,

11
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.280
they were sitting here pretending to you
know, hit the bond because they

12
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:32.920
think that's what pipe man is.
And actually everybody thinks that. In fact,

13
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.959
I've had artists write songs during the
interview about me smoking the pipe.

14
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:41.480
You want to try that, You
want to try write a pipe man song?

15
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.599
No, I ain't got no bars
right now. No. I think

16
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.000
what he's trying to say is it's
about laying pipe. That's why he's the

17
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.879
pipe man. That's the other one
too. He is dead, is I

18
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.599
I can respect it? Nice?
So I love your hat. Tell us

19
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.959
about your hat? Well, all
right, it's a good questions. So

20
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.000
this hat here, you'll notice there's
a button with the gentleman I. His

21
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.439
name is Josh. He was my
best friend, Josh Obada in Michigan,

22
00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:12.639
out of Flint, and he passed
away. So his dad came and brought

23
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.919
me like a bunch of stuff and
said, you know, he loves you,

24
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:17.639
man, and here's some of his
things. I want you to have

25
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:22.360
some some things from his things because
you know, to remember him by it.

26
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:24.919
And so I got a shirt and
I saw this hat and I was

27
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:28.479
like, that's so, Josh,
I'm taking this hat. This one's coming

28
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.599
with me. So every now and
again when I go on a tour,

29
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.800
it normally hangs above my bed or
whatever. Every now and he'll be like,

30
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.000
all right, Josh, you're coming
out with me on this tour.

31
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.680
So he's with me on this tour. Him and Larson Smith out of New

32
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.680
Hampshire's out with me. That's where
this chain is right here. So see,

33
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.280
I love it. I'm glad I
picked out to talk about that.

34
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:50.000
My best bro since thirteen, and
we used to go to ten million shows

35
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.360
together. He passed in September two. He was like a brother, So

36
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.879
I relate totally because I bring shit
of his with me when I'm going on

37
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.240
tour doing all these festivals. That's
awesome, man, I'm so happy I

38
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:04.680
brought up the hat. I too. You don't hear that. See you

39
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.400
can help. But he's sitting right
there. Hey, I'm right here too.

40
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.560
I know, right. What does
he have to say in the interview?

41
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.199
Is he talking for you? He's
channeled through me. That's what I'm

42
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.840
saying. We're like this anyway,
so you know you'll get a piece of

43
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.080
him while we talk. I guarantee
you that. How you feel being here

44
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.159
at Welcome to Rockville, absolutely loving
it. The crowd was wild, sounded

45
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:29.199
amazing, people were jamming. It
was totally packed. So we're you know,

46
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:31.680
catering, getting sheltered around. It's
fucking awesome, is it? Aren't

47
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:37.120
These Danny Wimmer festivals badass like you
guys have been around a long time.

48
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.039
How's it? How does Danny Wimmer
treat you guys as artists? Oh?

49
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.360
It's it's just been incredible. We've
we do festivals almost every year, and

50
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.080
this is the best one that I
can remember in the last my nine years

51
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.800
in the bands. Yeah, you
know, the hospitality is on point as

52
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.000
far as life security is concerned.
You feel real safe out here. They

53
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.879
have a bunch of different security measures
in place to where you know, everyone

54
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.159
is kind of like where they're supposed
to be. So there's that, and

55
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.479
then of course the attendance is wonderful. So yeah, I got hats off

56
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.439
to the man. He's doing it. He's doing a great shop. And

57
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:13.599
speaking of attendance, like, were
you kind of shocked at that early in

58
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.600
the day festival to have that kind
of crowd a little bit? Yeah,

59
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.000
because even the band before us,
there wasn't really that many people. There

60
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.519
are like a few hundred, and
then as soon as we came on to

61
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.519
play, it was just they swarmed
in nice. Yeah, it was it

62
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:28.720
was great. Man. While we
were on it was just front to back

63
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:31.680
packed up and yeah, I was
kind of impressed. You know, there's

64
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.000
a lot of people just singing along
the whole time from front of Bato'm like,

65
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.120
whoa, you know they were allowed
so they were giving the love.

66
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.600
Oh yeah, tons of pitting Oh
yeah, punk rock Baby, I love

67
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:46.120
it. I think that. I
think the first time I saw you guys,

68
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.319
I can't even remembered or so many, but I think it was an

69
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:56.639
odds fest in the nineties and you
were Is it that long ago? I

70
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.319
don't even remember. It's a long
time ago whenever it was. But yeah,

71
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:04.079
I mean, you guys have been
around a long fucking time and to

72
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:08.560
be here at Rockville, man,
that's badass. And did you drive on

73
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:14.040
the Daytona Speedway? Yeah? Yeah, I drove on the speedway. Yeah.

74
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.279
I've been with the band now for
sixteen years, and over the years,

75
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.639
like Kurt was saying, we've done
a lot of different festivals. This

76
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:27.160
one is amongst the top three for
sure in terms of just everything you know,

77
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:31.759
hospitality, security, attendance, transportation, goes. It's always good to

78
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.800
hear artists like that treated like that
because a lot of times you guys play

79
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:41.040
at festivals or venues and you're not
treated the way you should be to make

80
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:45.800
it a stress fully experience. It's
bad enough it's stressful to go and do

81
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.199
a gig, but then I have
to deal with a bunch of shit and

82
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:53.160
load in or not being trade right. It was zero assholes the whole time.

83
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:55.600
I dealt with one. But it
was because I tried to skate on

84
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.040
the raceway wall. Oh my god, I can't. I wasn't even gonna

85
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.199
say it in this interview. As
I've said so many times, that's so

86
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.680
funny. You should say that because
I have my skateboard and my jeep back

87
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:10.120
there. They did not appreciate me. Yeah, I I your skateboard.

88
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:15.199
You ain't taking nothing. Bro chill
out, right, I I asked.

89
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:16.759
Last year, I asked, Chrissy, I'm like, you think if I

90
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:20.800
ride my skateboard up on the wall, I'll lose my media pass. She's

91
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:24.000
like, I wouldn't do it.
And then this year I was like I

92
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.360
told her before, I'm like,
I'll probably break my arm, but it'll

93
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.319
be worth it up on that ship. And he did not like it.

94
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.959
Oh I bet, I bet so
listen. I gotta I gotta give you

95
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:40.519
props, man, because you did
what I only talked about doing. I

96
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:45.560
love it. How was it could
have been better? But it was cool?

97
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.240
Nice? Right? Yeah? It
is pre like you don't see that

98
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:55.480
TV. It's like a giant wave
coming down on you. And it's steep

99
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.160
too. Oh. One hundred percent. It's not like you see on TV

100
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.959
they say you have to drive at
lea stayedy miles per hour to not flip

101
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.639
on that wall. Yeah, you
know, can you imagine. I can't

102
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:08.560
even imagine driving on that thing.
It's scary just standing by it. Oh.

103
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.959
I concerned with my jeep. I
considered with my cheap I'm like,

104
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.160
yeah, I wouldn't be a good
idea. I'd roll in, like I

105
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.240
wouldn't even get up a foot and
roll. It was funny because when we

106
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.319
came in with the Arlene Sue that's
our new RV, I was like,

107
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:26.639
pudget, We're on the racetrack doing
twenty right. Because I came in I

108
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.000
had a rental car because everyone came
in separate than me. I was.

109
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.160
I was in Jacksonville, Florida last
night, so I came in a rental

110
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.120
car and I got on this swim
like, dude, we're on the racetrack.

111
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.920
Yeah, let's go. And the
guy I'm following, yeah, twenty

112
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.759
miles an hour. I'm like,
this is a little anti climactic. I

113
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.399
know, right. I was on
a golf cart and I asked the dude

114
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.759
on the golf cart, I'm like, I asked him about the skateboard.

115
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:48.839
I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna
take my skateboard go up on the wall

116
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:53.000
way. You think he goes,
Well, somebody last year drove on the

117
00:07:53.079 --> 00:08:00.680
speedway and was permanently banned for life
from this venue for a life. I'm

118
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.319
like, Okay, maybe you don't
want to say. Maybe not. I

119
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.399
gotta get one more before we leave. Do it? Do it? I

120
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.839
want video, Send me video of
it. That'll be cool. So anything

121
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.079
you want to talk about that's coming
up after Rockville that the listeners need to

122
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.720
know about. Yeah, that's a
great question. Thanks for asking it.

Watts tour with Nonpoint we drop Out Kings.
