The White Man listens the pipe Man

here with nice here at aftershock. Do

6
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.880
you still look so good? Because
it's so freaking hot right now? I

7
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.959
don't know. I have no idea
how Like everybody else here looks like they

8
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:08.079
just like went on a fifty mile
hike, and I feel like a puddle.

9
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.920
So I'm not really sure. Yeah, people tell me that. I'm

10
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.200
like, I don't believe you.
Also, there's a lot going on under

11
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.040
these bangs here that you're not seeing. Well. Yeah, and you got

12
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:21.400
the black and the long sleem fire
right now. I always wonder her with

13
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:26.319
artists, especially like as an example, Taylor Mumpson. I'm friends with her,

14
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.239
and I'll say to her like,
how do you get up on stage

15
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:33.000
and this heat with that long leather
coat? Like I would be just I

16
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.400
wouldn't care how I love just taking
that shit out. Oh yeah, beauty

17
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.840
is pain. We we do it. We do it for the fashion.

18
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.680
I know, right, yes,
So how does it feel to be here

19
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:47.599
aftershock? Anyway? Even though it's
hot, it's really hot. Well,

20
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.079
I'm from Arizona, so you used
this is okay? Yeah, I'm used

21
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.000
to like one in the summers,
right, So there you go. Do

22
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.319
you have to perform in that one
hundred and twenty? They have some festivals

23
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.959
out there that are during the summer, and I feel like it should be

24
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:05.079
illegal, but like what they think, just like with Warped Tour, I'm

25
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.439
in West Bomb Beach. Yeah,
the West Bomb Beach show of Warped Tour

26
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:13.159
was always like the last show in
August. You don't have a show in

27
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.560
August in West Bomb Beach. That's
like the worst time. It was always

28
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:20.719
on like asphalt too, it's so
hot. Yeah, no doubt exactly.

29
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:24.639
It was like brutal, brutal,
like put it in the beginning during the

30
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:30.120
winter. I don't know, they
hate people, I guess I'm telling you.

31
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:36.000
So, as an artist, how
would you describe your music? Forget

32
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.680
what all these people want to box
you in a genre? How do you

33
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.360
describe yourself as an artist? I
do think that I'm I am genreists.

34
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.240
I mean a lot of people that
have written or done reviews have always said

35
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.520
that I like to bend genres,
which is the truth. I mean,

36
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.680
I have a nineties baby, I
love alternative nineties rock music. I love

37
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.879
nine inch Nails, going, Stefani
Atlantis, Morisset, I'm all over the

38
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.400
board. So I would say that
my music is a culmination of all of

39
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:06.439
my favorite stuff growing up. So
I love hearing that because and I've said

40
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.879
this a lot lately, because it's
true. In twenty twenty three, the

41
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.319
only way you're going to be unique
is by bending genres. Because what I've

42
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.560
seen is like when you have somebody
like in one specific genre, it's like

43
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.759
everybody follows the same formula. They
all sound the same, and how do

44
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.159
you stand out? And it's easier
than ever to become an artist now,

45
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:31.680
so now you have even more competition, or's somebody like you, there's nobody

46
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:36.719
to compare it to. Oh well, thank you. I appreciate that.

47
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:38.319
Yeah, And it makes it funny, you know. I get to change

48
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.759
and evolve and do whatever I want
because I'm not putting myself in a box.

49
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.479
And isn't that what it should be? I mean, you're an artist.

50
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:51.960
I get the whole idea of boxing
an artist in an artist is expression

51
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.680
absolutely. You know, well,
it's been crushed by the industry obviously.

52
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:59.800
You know, you have to sell
tickets, you have to be your images

53
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:01.800
in in everything that you do,
that you wear, that you say,

54
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.080
it's all a part of it,
right, and instead of doing what it

55
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:08.840
is that you should be doing,
which is expressing yourself. But here's what

56
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:15.240
I've seen thirty years is those record
labels and stuff that do that ruin not

57
00:04:15.399 --> 00:04:19.720
only the band, but the genre. And the long lasting artists are the

58
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:24.120
ones that are like, I'm going
to do whatever I want exactly, and

59
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.040
they always make it through. You
know, you have these like very flash

60
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.120
in the pan moments, these things
that labels like to focus on. But

61
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.120
for the most part, I think
that, yeah, artists that last forever,

62
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:39.519
they make it through somehow, you
know, because they're unapologetically them.

63
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.319
Yes, when I'm on stage and
I'm wild and I'm making faces and I'm

64
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:46.439
laughing and I'm having a blast,
it's because i want to inspire people that

65
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.279
watch me to do that more in
their own lives. And I think as

66
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.959
an artist it's so important to share
that with people, no doubt. Even

67
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.800
like Okay, as an example,
as a radio person, I'm also a

68
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:03.319
speaker. Who I am on stage
or on the mic is not necessarily who

69
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.800
I am in real life. Yes, because this is where I'm expressing certain

70
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:14.480
things where I'm not gonna be you
know what other people want me to be.

71
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.480
But in certain parts of life,
I may be. You know where

72
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:21.600
you are everyone where you have to
be, But I'm not going to sell

73
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:27.480
that shit out for my passion and
my heart. No, that's the difference.

74
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.160
Yes, I can be very scary
on stage and then when people meet

75
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.240
me, they're like, you're so
different. Do you think I was gonna

76
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.720
punch you in the face. Well, I tell you a funny story.

77
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:42.839
I of like all these people,
especially women I've known like for many years,

78
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.839
they listen to my radio show and
they're like, what happened to you?

79
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.120
You used to be like this really
nice guy and blah blah blah.

80
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.160
Like it's a role, man,
I'm playing a role on the radio.

81
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:58.160
Okay, character show, no doubt, because and you have to be a

82
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.959
chameleon. Like when I'm an interviewing
artists, I'm at me on the radio

83
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:08.439
when I'm just doing my live show
and I'll have a guest, and that

84
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:13.600
dude inside my head that nobody ever
hears in the outside world comes out of

85
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.040
the mic because it's almost like and
you may feel this on stage too,

86
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:19.439
because I feel it even when I'm
doing speaking gigs, when the MIC's on,

87
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.680
nobody's out there. It's like I
feel that I'm just speaking to the

88
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:29.920
mic, and then I'm filterless because
I'm not worried about what anybody thinks.

89
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:34.240
I'm not worried about their eye movements, I'm not worried about what they care.

90
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:38.879
I'm just saying what I want to
say. Yeah, and I don't

91
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.800
care. I absolutely feel that,
Yeah, there's a lot of freedom in

92
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:43.720
that, you know, being able
to get yeah, I get up in

93
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.879
front of people. I think most
people would be petrified, it would be

94
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:48.920
the complete opposite. But I think, yeah, if you're an artist or

95
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:53.240
a creator or someone like you,
it's it's just natural. It's a part

96
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.480
of who you are. And also, this persona that we put on is

97
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:01.439
very much us. It's still us, part of us or a piece we

98
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.959
don't show people. Yes, it's
kind of like even in relationships. I've

99
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:10.120
talked about the person I want to
be a relationship with is the person that

100
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.040
I could be the person I am
inside my head because nobody knows that person,

101
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.360
and we're all like that totally there. We show people in our life

102
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:23.240
the parts we want them to see
or that are apropos to them. But

103
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:27.680
how many times do we show all
of us to somebody? Very rarely?

104
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.680
Exactly? Yeah, very really?
Now, I mean I show everyone everything

105
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:31.879
all the time. I got a
big mouth, they say, way too

106
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.319
fucking much. I love that.
Yeah, you know, I get myself

107
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:39.040
in trouble sometimes, but you know
I have a lot time. I grew

108
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.240
up like being Yeah, I grew
up Mormon, I grew up conservatives.

109
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.920
I grew up you know, being
put in a box immediately, and my

110
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.959
purpose was this and this is all
I could be. So breaking away from

111
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.480
that, it's like I'm the slingshot, the slingshot child. I'm the one

112
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.279
that's like, fuck everyone, I'm
doing whatever the hell I want. Yeah,

113
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.920
it's so funny that you say that, because it is so true with

114
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:03.240
any extreme religion. Yep, that's
what happens. Just like I remember when

115
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.480
I was in high school, there
was a joke if you wanted to get

116
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:11.800
laid go to the Catholic all girls
Catholic school because they're fucking wild as out.

117
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.040
You know, It's so true,
right, It doesn't work to try

118
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.240
to constrain people. It never works. No. Like perfect example, me

119
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:24.800
and my best bro since thirteen.
His parents were ultra strict conservative parents and

120
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:31.199
he was this serious wild child.
They couldn't control him at all. My

121
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:37.080
dad was this wild party animal,
womanizer, blah blah blah, cool as

122
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.360
hell. Yeah, but I felt
like I had to be his parents,

123
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:48.840
so I ended up being the one
that was exactly right. Now here we

124
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:54.960
are here, we are telling everybody
fuck off exactly exactly. I'm doing whatever

125
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.399
the hell I want to do exactly. See. Now, that is what

126
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.360
makes you a great artist, because
you can't be a great artist unless you're

127
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.840
all you, period. Absolutely.
That's why those other bands fail because there

128
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:13.639
being somebody there. They're not because
somebody told them to be and it's apparent

129
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.480
you see it. Oh yeah,
like I can tell on stage Love,

130
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.440
I'm like, yeah, they're just
going through the motions there. Well,

131
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.759
a lot of you know people,
they want it right, they want to

132
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.320
make it whatever it is, and
they don't even know what that is to

133
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.200
themselves, and they don't like it. Yeah, they get it because they

134
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:35.360
don't know what it is. You
have to make a decision and a choice

135
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.159
within yourself to say this is where
I'm willing to stop. This is what

136
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.120
I want out of this, and
that's what you should gun for. But

137
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.960
people gun for this like big idea
of it making it success, fame,

138
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.519
money, all of that, without
really knowing what any of that means or

139
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:52.919
what it entails, and so they
get desperate and they start doing shit that's

140
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:58.039
not them, it is they.
It is funny too, because most artists

141
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.039
are in real life introvert, absolutely, and I always find funny that they

142
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:07.120
want to be famous because that just
doesn't go together, and somebody didn't tell

143
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.519
them that. Yeah, no,
yeah I don't. Here's the thing.

144
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.039
I don't want to be famous.
My team is always like, I mean,

145
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:20.360
good luck with that, But I
really those are usual people that get

146
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.120
famous or the people that don't want
to. I don't desire it by any

147
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.039
means, but I just I want
my art to be well known. That's

148
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.399
all I care about. You want
to change lives, that's about me.

149
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.639
You want to change lives with your
art. Yeah, I mean, and

150
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:35.720
who cares like what I like to
eat for fucking lunch or you know,

151
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.559
who cares about any of that stuff. It's about the art that I create.

152
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.279
That's what I want to focus to
you. Yeah, I know you

153
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.720
love when the other press people ask
you those stupid questions like that, what

154
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:48.720
do you eat for lunch before you
got on stage? Oh? Yeah,

155
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.679
I've had some very thoughtless interviews in
the past. Listen, I've said a

156
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:58.600
few times today. Sometimes I listen
to other people around me in these environments.

157
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:01.240
I'm like, if I was the
artist, I'd just slipped my throat

158
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:09.399
man or I would pull a like
walk away. I would love to do

159
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.279
that if I was an artist and
the interviewer like, especially if they don't

160
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.200
know their shit. Yeah, Like, I don't think it's as important about

161
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:22.399
knowing the artists. I think it's
important about knowing the music. Yeah,

162
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.759
and knowing how to ask a question
to find out about the artists, you

163
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:35.600
know, exactly, perfect example Lacy
Sterm. I interviewed her once and tour

164
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.279
managers like, you have a hard
ten minutes. Okay, I'm cool,

165
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:45.080
I'm good at that. I started
talking about being suicide as a teenager and

166
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.159
this thing she does with Sonny from
Pod and other people, and they go

167
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:54.279
out on tour and they help these
suicide teams. Tour manager comes over and

168
00:11:54.360 --> 00:12:00.360
starts doing the tapping on the watch. She shoes them away, and like

169
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.879
she starts talking for the next half
hour. Yeah, And afterwards she gives

170
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.759
me a big hug and she's like, thanks. Nobody ever asked me about

171
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.039
that, and it's so important to
me, Like, how do you not

172
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:13.320
ask that? Shit? No,
you're gonna ask how did you get your

173
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.960
band name? Well? I was
born with it. I hate that question.

174
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.480
Where did you get your name from? Who fucking cares? That's where

175
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.080
I got my name from, right, nobody cares. It's probably already been

176
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:26.320
an answer. Sound a good one
day, Right, Okay, that'll work.

177
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:31.360
That's usually how it happens. Like
I had a band when I was

178
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.360
a teenager called Broken Glass. I've
thought of now, like restarting a band

179
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.559
and resurrecting that name just because it's
a cool name. That actually be really

180
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:43.519
cool, no reason for the name. Yeah, I just was a teenager

181
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.000
stoned. I'm like, wow,
that sounds cool. That is I might

182
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.840
steal that from you. You're so
mad at me. I know, but

183
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.279
now I have it recorded. Oh
damn it. See that got myself.

184
00:12:54.360 --> 00:13:01.240
I have a copywritten now because we
recorded it. Oh man, But I

185
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.679
don't even know why you won.
No, Like I don't give am.

186
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:09.120
And sometimes it's common sense. Like
there was this band from Holland called the

187
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.639
Charm and the Fury, and I
got friendly with them, and it was

188
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.279
led by a woman who was so
badass, but she was hot, so

189
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.240
she was a charm and the rest
were the Fury. Common sense. I

190
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.720
didn't ask them. I thought of
it on my own and I said to

191
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:28.799
him, I'm like, we're talking
about that, hope. They I'm like,

192
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:33.399
uh duh, it's obvious and they're
like yeah, like because people don't

193
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.159
have common sense nowadays. And no, god, no, I mean,

194
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.000
but here's a great one. I've
told this before. You'll love this.

195
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:46.080
Send if you hate that question.
I was interviewing August Burns read one time

196
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.480
Love August Burns read I love them
too, and I love them even more

197
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.440
after this interview, and you'll hear
why. So I started beforehand, like

198
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.440
I was talking to you, I
said to him, And I don't ask

199
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.960
stupid questions like how do you get
your band name. Yeah, they're like,

200
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.440
well, you're lucky because we fuck
with every person that asks us that.

201
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:11.080
Basically, they said, see that
girl over there, we do it

202
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.559
with straight face. We basically said, she asked us, and we said,

203
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:18.039
well, my sister she got this
dog when we were a teenager.

204
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.200
She named it August, and we
were all hanging out outside in the in

205
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.360
the driveway partying, and we decided
to be funny to light the dog on

206
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.440
fire and watch it run down the
street. Ergo, August burns red And

207
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.200
they're like, we said with a
total straight face, and you had to

208
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.759
see the look of horror on my
face. And I'm like, deserve it,

209
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.919
you know, if you're gonna ask
that stupid question, that's what you

210
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.080
deserve. I also get a lot
of times, but it turns out funny

211
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.279
and interviews how'd you get the name? Pipe Man? And everybody as their

212
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:58.320
philosophies. That's the best part letting
people's minds run wild, because they just

213
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.679
go like, I don't even know
where they go. They're unlike a hallucina

214
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.279
and genics. Sometimes when they try
to think of what your band name means,

215
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.840
you know, oh my god,
yeah, and it is rather funny.

216
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.080
But they always think us to do
with laying pipe or smoking a pipe.

217
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.240
My last name's Piper, and somebody
said it to me once years ago,

218
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.639
and it's stuck. That's it.
That's all. That's all it is.

219
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:22.799
That's all it is. You don't
smoke weed. I do smoke weed,

220
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.639
but nobody knows. Okay, so
it's so it's got double meaning.

221
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:28.759
But I didn't use it for that, but you may be right, yeah,

222
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.399
yeah, there you go that,
but nobody knows. I've never I

223
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:35.879
don't tell people. You don't tell
people at all. Ever, No,

224
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.200
I don't tell people. You should
just tell people. We are live on

225
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.159
the air right now, well not
live yet. I was gonna say we're

226
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.320
live. No, we're good,
we're recorded, but it will be live

227
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.159
and I won't edit that out.
Nice, please don't. I don't.

228
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:54.759
You know, you gotta have moments
like that. But you know, it's

229
00:15:54.879 --> 00:16:00.679
funny because if I admitted to that, then everybody would absolutely yeah that he's

230
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.039
full of shit. It's not because
of his name, it's because he smokes

231
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:10.000
pot. He's smoking Shut the fuck
up. Who doesn't smoke pot? Let's

232
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:12.639
be honest. I know right,
I'm high, right, now love it.

233
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:15.960
I'll come here and share with me. I don't get it. Some

234
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:18.840
of you want let's do it.
Everything you need to got mushrooms? I

235
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.240
got I got it. You're prepared. Yeah, oh yeah, I'm at

236
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:27.120
a festival. I was walking down
the street after the festival last night in

237
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:34.360
downtown Sacramento and literally a cars drive
it by being this person are smoking on

238
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:38.919
the opposite end of the street,
stops in the middle of road and says

239
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:45.159
something like, I smell it.
Let me inhale it. What that could

240
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.799
mean anything? I know, right, but but they knew we were smoking

241
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.080
pot. He could smell the post
smell it where That's like me every time

242
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.879
I saw him, like, oh
it smells good, right exactly. In

243
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.639
California's fun to do festivals. You
know how many times I've been doing interviews

244
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.279
and they're passing me a vape in
the interview, you know, Oh yeah,

245
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.160
I mean I walked into my green
room and there was just like rolling

246
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.119
papers right from from weeds Map,
right, yes, exactly. I was

247
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.079
like, this is I love California. I went over to weeds Map because

had free papers and free lighter, and

249
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.359
