It's my first time here really yeah.

9
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.799
Wow, well you think so far just walking in? Like,

10
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.880
is it how you compared to other festivals?

11
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:42.280
So far?

12
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.719
I have played one festival on a speedway, the Daytona

13
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:47.759
International Speedway in Florida.

14
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:51.479
Which is probably where we've talked before at Welcome to Rockville.

15
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:55.479
So I was like, whoa day tall boo. Right, it's

16
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:56.000
super cool.

17
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.399
Everyone's intents and I'm gonna be performing in.

18
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.200
A tense so it's gonna be It's gonna be awesome.

19
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:02.719
Yeah.

20
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:05.879
The tents are cool to perform in too, like, and

21
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.959
it's kind of wild because those tents get packed up.

22
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.640
Yeah you know, so I'm sure.

23
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.120
The videos of the band's performing yesterday and the tent

24
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.359
I'm gonna be in and I'm like, oh no, because

25
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:18.879
I haven't played in like eight months?

26
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.040
Really yeah, so have you been like just enjoying life

27
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:23.599
for a while.

28
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.400
I took a little hiatus off you know, you need it,

29
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:30.799
so yeah, it took a little hiatus and then you know,

30
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.040
got this opportunity and I was like, gotta play download

31
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:35.120
no doubt.

32
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:39.120
Like it's like one of the mothers of festivals throughout

33
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:39.959
the world.

34
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:41.680
You know, so hopefully it's kind of like riding a bike.

35
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:45.319
And now, remember, I'm sure it will be You're badass,

36
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.040
so I'm sure it'll be great and you'll feed off

37
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.799
the crowd anyway, you know how it is like you

38
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:51.840
feel like that.

39
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:52.480
And I do too.

40
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:54.239
Before I turn on the mic and the man you

41
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:58.319
get up on stage, it's like this switch yes, and

42
00:01:58.359 --> 00:01:59.599
you're like in this zone.

43
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.159
Oh yeah. A lot of it's even in my intro song,

44
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.120
we have this like we start out this intro, it

45
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.039
goes into casualty and just the energy of the like

46
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.879
the the sub bass. Then it like clicks on for me.

47
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.560
And I think it's like for me, it's like my

48
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.000
I call it schizophrenia, my two personalities. It's like the

49
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.000
MIC's off, I'm Dean, which most people on the radio

50
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.240
don't know that name, and then as soon as the

51
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.719
mic turns on, it's pipe man and it is a

52
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:28.879
different personality.

53
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:35.560
It's always like I do it the interviews like a

54
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:40.159
stream yard and I'll wear I do my show, I

55
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:41.280
wear the sunglasses.

56
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.919
It is kind of that like as soon as sunglasses

57
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.840
go on, oh yeah, pipe man has arrived.

58
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.159
Oh yeah, we got our both of our alter e

59
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:49.879
goes out today.

60
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:51.759
I know that's the way it should be though, right,

61
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.159
Like that's the way I look at is it's not

62
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:57.800
really not me, like you say, it's alter you go,

63
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:02.080
it's me. It's just another part of me. Yes, Like

64
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:04.000
why do we have to be in a box. We

65
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.159
should have multiple facets to our personality.

66
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.520
Yes, yeah, No one would want to see McKenzie, which

67
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.960
is my real name, up on stage because Mackenzie just

68
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:18.120
wants to like be comfy and sweatpants and watching TV

69
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.080
and not seeing the sunlight ever.

70
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.400
Right, well, you probably have done this even recently in

71
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.719
the past months. But like I do all the festivals.

72
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.599
So I'm on tour and then when I get home

73
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.000
and I'm very extroverted out here. I don't even leave

74
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.240
my house for like a week. Yeah, Like if there's

75
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.879
no food, I'm kind of screwed. I just I just

76
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:41.759
want to gel.

77
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.120
Yeah, and I don't want anybody around.

78
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.719
Do you compress and like all that energy you expended.

79
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.800
Now you have to like get it back by just

80
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:51.919
being stagnant.

81
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.599
And when you're out people always want that switch on,

82
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.800
so like and do you get this? Like people meet

83
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:03.240
you as my and then if you get friendly with

84
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:07.960
them or whatever else, they don't want the other person.

85
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:09.919
They don't want the real you.

86
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.759
I experienced that all the time, and yeah, I'll meet

87
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.360
people as pipe man and then they meet Dean and

88
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:16.920
we're like, where's pipe man?

89
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:18.680
I would say that for sure.

90
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.720
Or there's times where it's like I'm out in public,

91
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.360
I run into someone they know who I am, and

92
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.360
then I almost feel this pressure to kind of turn

93
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.480
it on and they become a little bit more extroverted

94
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:34.040
and more just like Mathka is always just it's the

95
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:35.920
most when I'm the most sharp but.

96
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.079
Right, but sometimes you don't want to bathe but it

97
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:39.759
is embarrassing.

98
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.079
Where like there's a local ice cream place I was

99
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:43.240
going to every time I was sad.

100
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:45.120
I'd be there like crying, and then on like the

101
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.120
fifth time, the girls like are you Mathka by the way,

102
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.600
And I was like, oh no, you know who I

103
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:50.680
was this whole time?

104
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.360
You saw me here at Friday night crying eating ice cream?

105
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:55.240
That's sad.

106
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.519
I got. I got a funny story you'll appreciate.

107
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:04.560
I met somebody online dating and she she goes to me, well,

108
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.120
let's have a phone call, okay, And then she says,

109
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.639
I thought you'd have more of a radio voice. Really,

110
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.000
And I'm like, yeah, that's not how it works. This

111
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.680
is my voice on the radio. I don't make a

112
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:21.879
different voice like I do if I'm doing voices on

113
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:22.319
my show.

114
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.079
But pipe man doesn't.

115
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:28.560
Have a different voice. And she's like no, really, no really, please,

116
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.199
can you do your Can you do your radio voice

117
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:35.680
for me? And I'm like goodbye. And I'm sure you

118
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.480
experienced stuff like that too, where people want you to

119
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.439
like perform when they meet you, you know, like.

120
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.000
I think they I think it's almost the opposite. I

121
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.160
think my fans understand a lot about like depression and

122
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:48.240
the things I go.

123
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.399
Through, so I think they would be okay with me

124
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:51.199
being myself.

125
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:55.279
It's more just like I'm not always okay letting the

126
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.480
guard down. Because even when I, yeah, my last tour,

127
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.399
I was really suffering through it, but everyone was like

128
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:04.439
trying to bring me little gifts and little teas, and like,

129
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:05.759
we know you're going through a hard time.

130
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:07.920
But I couldn't even let my guard down then. But

131
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:09.839
that was hard. So it was just like I don't

132
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:11.680
want you to actually see.

133
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.680
Well, you know what else, it's probably tough for you

134
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.040
and I get to it's like they look at your

135
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.240
social media and they're like, boy, you're living a dream life.

136
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:25.480
And partially that's true, but you you only see part

137
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:25.759
of that.

138
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.160
Oh my gosh, that is so yeah, so accurate. And

139
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.120
even when even when I do get to share about

140
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:33.920
my hardships of things I've gone through, it's always like

141
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.560
the milestone, Oh I hit eight months sober, but you

142
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.920
didn't see all the like grief I went through and

143
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:41.639
moments I couldn't get out of bed.

144
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:43.720
You only see the packaged version of it.

145
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:44.920
Yeah, so it's hard.

146
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.319
So what would be your number one message you would

147
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:48.720
tell the listeners right now?

148
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:52.160
Oh wow, that's the hard.

149
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:54.279
One, right How about number two?

150
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:01.480
I would tell the PIPEMIN listeners to try to let

151
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.439
your guard down and just be open and vulnerable with

152
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:06.839
people around you. You never know what anyone else is

153
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:10.040
going through and something you say might be able to

154
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:10.959
help them.

155
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.680
That is the best words you could say in this

156
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.639
whole interview. So thank you for that, thank you for

157
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:19.920
