1
00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:08.769
Hey, you're listening to The Adventure of Pumlin on W4CY.

2
00:00:08.810 --> 00:00:09.429
For you.

3
00:00:19.489 --> 00:00:21.629
This is the Pipe Man here on the Adventures of

4
00:00:21.649 --> 00:00:24.210
Pipe Man W4CY radio, and I'm here with.

5
00:00:24.589 --> 00:00:26.449
Richard Patrick from Filter.

6
00:00:26.620 --> 00:00:30.140
Yes. Here at Louder Than Life.

7
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:31.500
Louder Than Life.

8
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:33.659
I did rename the festival, though.

9
00:00:33.780 --> 00:00:34.320
Oh, you did?

10
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:36.320
Yeah, it's now called Hotter Than Life.

11
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:38.539
Oh, that's very true. It's very.

12
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:40.179
Hot out.

13
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:44.100
Mad respect for you to perform in this heat.

14
00:00:44.259 --> 00:00:47.899
You know, once the adrenaline hits you and the monsters...

15
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:50.700
Or the Red Bulls or whatever we're having that day.

16
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:51.429
Yeah, right.

17
00:00:51.509 --> 00:00:55.829
Once it hits you and you're on stage, somehow you

18
00:00:55.869 --> 00:00:58.149
get this weird brand new energy.

19
00:00:58.229 --> 00:01:00.530
It's like an out-of-body experience, right?

20
00:01:00.609 --> 00:01:01.509
Yeah, it's really cool.

21
00:01:02.409 --> 00:01:04.769
And you don't give yourself permission to feel it until

22
00:01:04.810 --> 00:01:05.890
you get off stage.

23
00:01:05.989 --> 00:01:08.890
Yeah, and then when we walk off stage, it's like,

24
00:01:08.950 --> 00:01:10.379
oh my God, where's the water at?

25
00:01:10.670 --> 00:01:11.379
Right, right.

26
00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:12.439
Where's the ice cubes?

27
00:01:13.099 --> 00:01:16.239
So are there any Wimmer festivals you haven't played yet?

28
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.480
I don't know. I believe we played most of them,

29
00:01:19.780 --> 00:01:20.319
for sure.

30
00:01:20.739 --> 00:01:21.219
There you go.

31
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.439
Danny's amazing. We're just honored to be here. We love

32
00:01:24.459 --> 00:01:25.969
the Wimmer Festivals, for sure.

33
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:28.069
And that's what I love to hear, too.

34
00:01:28.390 --> 00:01:30.989
What is it that Wimmer does for you guys as

35
00:01:31.049 --> 00:01:34.030
an artist that you don't get at any other festival?

36
00:01:34.629 --> 00:01:38.069
Oh, man. He does so much.

37
00:01:39.469 --> 00:01:45.340
He gives us amazing artists backstage areas. And the security

38
00:01:45.379 --> 00:01:50.450
is always really good. And he puts us with, like,

39
00:01:50.489 --> 00:01:52.519
our favorite band. I don't know if he does it,

40
00:01:52.790 --> 00:01:56.469
but it's like... I'm, like, the biggest ministry fan on

41
00:01:56.510 --> 00:02:00.439
the planet. And, like, my dressing room is right next

42
00:02:00.450 --> 00:02:01.620
to Al's. Wow.

43
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:03.599
I had to be on purpose. Yeah.

44
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.099
I mean, you know, I think that they know who

45
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.219
we hang with. It's like they... They're like Google. They

46
00:02:09.259 --> 00:02:10.580
have ears in our phone.

47
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:11.240
I know, right?

48
00:02:11.300 --> 00:02:12.259
They have ears everywhere.

49
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.300
Well, that just makes the experience better. That's where he's smart,

50
00:02:15.419 --> 00:02:17.159
I think. It's like if.

51
00:02:17.139 --> 00:02:19.870
You're hanging out with your friends, you're more comfortable.

52
00:02:19.930 --> 00:02:20.750
Yeah, totally.

53
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.650
Do a better show. We enjoy it more. It just

54
00:02:24.689 --> 00:02:26.490
goes all the way down the line. I mean, I

55
00:02:26.509 --> 00:02:29.409
think I've been doing this festival, all of this, since

56
00:02:29.469 --> 00:02:33.240
the very beginning. And he's just brilliant because of how

57
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:34.259
he treats the artists.

58
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:36.180
He's amazing with us.

59
00:02:36.340 --> 00:02:40.250
We are blessed to be on his festivals, and we

60
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.280
look forward to it every year. And we're just glad

61
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.979
we're invited and happy to be here. It's just so awesome.

62
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.590
I mean, how many freaking amazing bands are there? Like Tool,

63
00:02:50.990 --> 00:02:55.810
you know, Iron Maiden, Limp Bizkit, Ministry was just on.

64
00:02:56.629 --> 00:03:00.270
And, you know, just everybody's here. It's like, it's really cool.

65
00:03:00.409 --> 00:03:02.539
Yeah, it's like a family reunion, right?

66
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:06.419
Yeah, it's like family reunion. Yeah, especially because Adam Jones...

67
00:03:06.870 --> 00:03:10.129
Worked on the movie Terminator 2 with my brother Robert

68
00:03:10.250 --> 00:03:10.530
in it.

69
00:03:10.590 --> 00:03:13.680
So those two go back to 1991. Wow. Yeah.

70
00:03:14.300 --> 00:03:17.919
You know what blows my mind, too? Danny Elfman being

71
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:23.150
louder than life. I saw Oingo Boingo in Westlake High

72
00:03:23.210 --> 00:03:27.349
Gymnasium in ninth grade doing an assembly.

73
00:03:27.370 --> 00:03:28.689
Wow. Wow.

74
00:03:28.870 --> 00:03:29.210
Right.

75
00:03:29.469 --> 00:03:33.129
Wow. That's crazy to me. It's like an amazing career

76
00:03:33.189 --> 00:03:36.800
he's had. Just it was wild. It's windy out.

77
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.139
And I got to tell Danny, all of the sheet

78
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.419
music is blowing all over the stage right now because

79
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.819
the sheet music was in the stands, the music stands.

80
00:03:48.030 --> 00:03:50.490
So I got to alert him that his sheet music's

81
00:03:50.550 --> 00:03:51.389
all over the place.

82
00:03:51.669 --> 00:03:52.129
Right.

83
00:03:52.229 --> 00:03:55.189
Because the violin players, you know, the string players are

84
00:03:55.270 --> 00:03:57.550
all going to be needing those in a few hours.

85
00:03:57.569 --> 00:03:59.409
But he is brilliant. Oh, yeah, yeah.

86
00:03:59.460 --> 00:04:02.400
He came from a punk rock band that turned into

87
00:04:02.419 --> 00:04:04.900
the biggest composer ever.

88
00:04:04.939 --> 00:04:08.599
Yeah, yeah. He's huge. Yeah, he's one of the greats. So, yeah,

89
00:04:08.659 --> 00:04:09.460
totally amazing.

90
00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:13.740
And Robin Fink from Nine Inch Nails is playing guitar,

91
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:14.560
I believe, tonight.

92
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:15.409
Oh, really?

93
00:04:15.430 --> 00:04:16.209
Yeah, I think so.

94
00:04:16.370 --> 00:04:17.110
That's pretty cool.

95
00:04:17.269 --> 00:04:22.610
And so we have some blood there, some blood relations there,

96
00:04:22.629 --> 00:04:25.089
because that was my first band I was in was

97
00:04:25.149 --> 00:04:25.829
Nine Inch Nails.

98
00:04:25.850 --> 00:04:26.730
Yes, exactly.

99
00:04:26.769 --> 00:04:29.730
Back in the day. So it's a big family reunion

100
00:04:29.810 --> 00:04:30.149
out here.

101
00:04:30.410 --> 00:04:31.589
Totally, totally.

102
00:04:32.170 --> 00:04:35.730
And out of all the festivals, of the Wimmer festivals,

103
00:04:36.149 --> 00:04:40.060
what do you like specifically about Louder Than Life?

104
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:45.670
I love that it's in the heartland of Kentucky. Kentucky

105
00:04:45.689 --> 00:04:52.160
is such a beautiful state. I don't partake, but it's

106
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.300
famous for the whiskey that they make.

107
00:04:55.980 --> 00:04:58.560
It's just really great. Louder than life.

108
00:04:59.060 --> 00:05:02.389
I grew up in Ohio, so I'm kind of... The

109
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:04.480
Midwest is kind of a part of me.

110
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:04.980
Right.

111
00:05:05.339 --> 00:05:10.139
And yeah, he's got all the amazing festivals all over.

112
00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:13.180
Of course, Aftershock's a big deal for me because it's

113
00:05:13.220 --> 00:05:14.879
in California where I live now.

114
00:05:15.170 --> 00:05:15.430
Right.

115
00:05:15.509 --> 00:05:18.269
So I'm looking forward to Aftershock as well.

116
00:05:18.569 --> 00:05:19.569
I love that festival.

117
00:05:19.589 --> 00:05:19.670
Yeah.

118
00:05:20.129 --> 00:05:24.170
And the Media Artist Lounge is, like, a cool vibe there, too.

119
00:05:24.230 --> 00:05:27.430
It's, like, intimate, grass, trees.

120
00:05:27.529 --> 00:05:27.870
Yeah.

121
00:05:28.350 --> 00:05:29.269
Like, really cool.

122
00:05:29.689 --> 00:05:34.360
And that's cool what's cool about the Wimmer Festivals. They

123
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.860
all have a different, like, vibe for them, depending on

124
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:38.519
where they're located.

125
00:05:38.540 --> 00:05:40.699
Where you are in the country.

126
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:41.180
Yeah.

127
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.639
Like, after shock, you feel like you're in California at

128
00:05:44.660 --> 00:05:45.779
that festival, you know?

129
00:05:45.860 --> 00:05:46.120
Yeah.

130
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.199
And so it's cool. Yeah. You get to get a

131
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:50.920
short commute to go.

132
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:52.879
Yeah, it's up in Sacramento.

133
00:05:52.939 --> 00:05:55.399
So I just take a small plane and get our,

134
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.050
you know, I take a small flight all the way

135
00:05:58.110 --> 00:06:02.670
up to our state's capital. And yeah, it's amazing. I mean,

136
00:06:02.709 --> 00:06:05.250
you know, and that'll be another one, another great show.

137
00:06:05.290 --> 00:06:07.970
I think Stone Temple Pilots is playing. Nice. And I

138
00:06:07.990 --> 00:06:11.310
just jumped on stage with them to do Hey Man,

139
00:06:11.350 --> 00:06:13.189
Nice Shot in Phoenix.

140
00:06:13.430 --> 00:06:16.689
Nice. They just were like, Richie, you're playing tonight. I'm like, okay,

141
00:06:16.709 --> 00:06:17.089
here we go.

142
00:06:17.750 --> 00:06:22.029
See, I love hearing stories like that. How's it feel

143
00:06:22.089 --> 00:06:23.189
when they do that to you?

144
00:06:23.779 --> 00:06:26.800
Amazing. I mean, it's like I'm honored. You know what

145
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.779
I mean? They're like, Richie, you're singing tonight. I'm like,

146
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:31.480
okie doke. Here we go.

147
00:06:31.819 --> 00:06:33.959
Exactly. It's kind of like me when somebody's like.

148
00:06:33.980 --> 00:06:36.339
And we do a little quick rehearsal backstage.

149
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:38.160
Oh, see, there you go.

150
00:06:38.500 --> 00:06:44.079
And Robert and I go over the bass line, and

151
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.139
Dean tells me what he wants to do on the song.

152
00:06:47.180 --> 00:06:50.540
And I'm like, you're Dean DeLeo. You do whatever you want, bro. Right.

153
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.519
You know? See, that's what I love about you.

154
00:06:53.540 --> 00:06:58.720
You just love the passion of the music and the business.

155
00:06:59.259 --> 00:07:03.279
Not the business side, but the community side of the business.

156
00:07:03.660 --> 00:07:07.199
Without the DeLeos, I wouldn't have learned so much about songwriting.

157
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:08.579
They're so incredible.

158
00:07:08.620 --> 00:07:12.110
We did that band Army of Anyone, which is still

159
00:07:12.170 --> 00:07:14.029
one of my favorite records that I've ever done.

160
00:07:14.050 --> 00:07:20.310
Yeah, it's wild. I go back all the way to... 98,

161
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:23.779
singing Hey Man, Nice Shot with them.

162
00:07:24.100 --> 00:07:24.519
Wow.

163
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.759
Yeah, they're always like, you're playing tonight. I'm like, okay.

164
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:28.670
Nice.

165
00:07:28.689 --> 00:07:29.310
So it's fun.

166
00:07:30.110 --> 00:07:35.649
What's like the most surprising invitation you ever got to

167
00:07:35.689 --> 00:07:36.329
do something?

168
00:07:36.370 --> 00:07:38.290
To do the reunion with Nine Inch Nails.

169
00:07:38.649 --> 00:07:39.100
Wow.

170
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:39.839
In 2024, I believe.

171
00:07:42.949 --> 00:07:45.490
And Trent's like, I want you to come back in

172
00:07:45.529 --> 00:07:49.689
Nine Inch Nails for the Cleveland show where the Rock

173
00:07:49.730 --> 00:07:53.509
and Roll Hall of Fame is. Because I wasn't inducted

174
00:07:53.529 --> 00:07:55.470
because I was only in Nine Inch Nails for like

175
00:07:55.509 --> 00:07:56.490
four or five years.

176
00:07:56.769 --> 00:07:57.009
Right.

177
00:07:57.610 --> 00:07:59.750
And I was kind of bent. I was kind of

178
00:07:59.790 --> 00:08:01.829
bent about it. And Trent was like, I'm sorry. Well,

179
00:08:01.970 --> 00:08:04.850
come on out stage and do the show with us anyways.

180
00:08:05.149 --> 00:08:05.449
Wow.

181
00:08:05.649 --> 00:08:08.490
But the really cool thing was he also wanted to

182
00:08:08.569 --> 00:08:09.829
do Hey Man, Nice Shot.

183
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:14.899
And we did Nine Inch Nails, did Hey Man, Nice Shot.

184
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:15.639
That's wild.

185
00:08:15.980 --> 00:08:18.620
And he had me, like, sing the second verse to

186
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:19.639
Head Like a Hole.

187
00:08:20.579 --> 00:08:24.639
And, like, I did all this extra singing. I sang Eraser. Wow.

188
00:08:24.790 --> 00:08:28.529
And he was really, really sweet. And, like, you know,

189
00:08:28.569 --> 00:08:31.470
Trent and I go back to, like, way back there, like, 1986,

190
00:08:31.470 --> 00:08:35.330
hanging out. Like, he was one of the, like, my

191
00:08:35.370 --> 00:08:38.970
buddies from Cleveland. I was, like, 16 playing in clubs,

192
00:08:39.029 --> 00:08:43.710
you know. And, um, and he kind of mentored me and, uh,

193
00:08:44.730 --> 00:08:47.230
always kept an eye out for me. And he, you know,

194
00:08:47.289 --> 00:08:49.870
so it's, it's great to have that friendship all the

195
00:08:49.929 --> 00:08:52.850
way until, you know, now, you know, I, I still

196
00:08:52.909 --> 00:08:53.929
text with him all the time.

197
00:08:53.950 --> 00:08:55.210
He's my buddy, you know, like.

198
00:08:55.429 --> 00:08:56.649
See, that's cool to hear.

199
00:08:56.669 --> 00:08:56.750
Yeah.

200
00:08:56.830 --> 00:08:59.289
Because that doesn't always happen in this business.

201
00:08:59.330 --> 00:08:59.649
Yeah.

202
00:09:00.070 --> 00:09:02.330
Well, I mean, I, I left his band and it

203
00:09:02.389 --> 00:09:05.450
was kind of a big deal and, and, uh. He

204
00:09:05.870 --> 00:09:08.549
was hurt by it, and I was like, well, I

205
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:10.879
just wanted to do my own thing, kind of thing.

206
00:09:12.100 --> 00:09:15.620
But we've made up since then, and everything's great.

207
00:09:15.659 --> 00:09:17.740
That's just the way it should be. We shouldn't go

208
00:09:17.779 --> 00:09:21.460
through life with weirdness. You know what I mean? Come on, man.

209
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.360
We were old friends.

210
00:09:24.620 --> 00:09:27.879
So it's always good to rekindle your old friendships and

211
00:09:27.940 --> 00:09:29.970
make sure that everybody's cool and everything.

212
00:09:30.259 --> 00:09:31.120
I love hearing that.

213
00:09:31.230 --> 00:09:31.350
Yeah.

214
00:09:31.389 --> 00:09:34.100
It's not like you guys do a tour together now.

215
00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:37.799
I would love that. That would be amazing.

216
00:09:37.860 --> 00:09:40.860
But he's got his friend, Boys Noise, opening up for

217
00:09:40.899 --> 00:09:41.519
him right now.

218
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.720
But yeah, and that's a really.

219
00:09:44.659 --> 00:09:47.899
Nine Inch Noise is his new project with Boys Noise.

220
00:09:48.539 --> 00:09:51.490
So yeah, that's a great project.

221
00:09:51.529 --> 00:09:54.450
I'm really excited. He did Coachella, and they were amazing.

222
00:09:54.669 --> 00:09:55.649
Wow, that's pretty cool.

223
00:09:56.500 --> 00:10:00.470
What do you think about, did you see that Captain

224
00:10:00.549 --> 00:10:01.370
James T.

225
00:10:01.529 --> 00:10:03.850
Kirk started a metal band.

226
00:10:04.509 --> 00:10:06.529
I think that's fantastic. Right?

227
00:10:06.789 --> 00:10:07.129
Yeah.

228
00:10:07.570 --> 00:10:10.490
That's so wild to me. Yes, 95 years old.

229
00:10:10.629 --> 00:10:10.850
Right?

230
00:10:10.870 --> 00:10:12.009
James T. Kirk, yeah.

231
00:10:12.210 --> 00:10:13.409
I wish I could do it at 95.

232
00:10:13.409 --> 00:10:15.169
Oh, yeah. When I get there, if.

233
00:10:15.210 --> 00:10:16.470
I can do that, I'll be happy.

234
00:10:16.590 --> 00:10:17.110
Yeah.

235
00:10:18.169 --> 00:10:21.490
And, you know, it's interesting, because I learned life used

236
00:10:21.509 --> 00:10:24.190
to be a different weekend than Riot Fest, and I

237
00:10:24.250 --> 00:10:25.789
always covered Riot Fest.

238
00:10:25.889 --> 00:10:26.190
Yeah.

239
00:10:26.210 --> 00:10:28.110
And I was so bummed this year. I'm like, oh.

240
00:10:28.990 --> 00:10:30.610
I'm going to miss Captain Kirk.

241
00:10:30.730 --> 00:10:35.100
I would be so honored to see that, man. That

242
00:10:35.129 --> 00:10:36.029
would be so amazing.

243
00:10:36.049 --> 00:10:40.139
Did you hear about his rider requirements?

244
00:10:40.340 --> 00:10:41.139
What does he need?

245
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:44.000
Oh, so he had a whole rider requirements. It was

246
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:45.460
on Good Morning America, too.

247
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:51.080
He wanted to have a boat, a ship, renamed to

248
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:56.840
him so he could once again... Captain a ship. He wanted,

249
00:10:56.860 --> 00:10:58.639
instead of a golf cart.

250
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:00.320
Well, he is a space traveler.

251
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:01.179
Exactly.

252
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:02.320
He is an astronaut.

253
00:11:02.379 --> 00:11:02.679
He did.

254
00:11:02.700 --> 00:11:03.659
So he is, yeah.

255
00:11:04.299 --> 00:11:09.309
So, and then he wanted, instead of a golf cart

256
00:11:09.389 --> 00:11:11.830
to get to the stage, a DeLorean.

257
00:11:12.169 --> 00:11:12.570
Wow.

258
00:11:13.710 --> 00:11:13.789
And.

259
00:11:15.570 --> 00:11:19.669
A bunch of adoptable puppies in a dressing room.

260
00:11:19.750 --> 00:11:20.259
Wow.

261
00:11:21.100 --> 00:11:24.200
He's crazy, but he is a rock star. Oh, yeah.

262
00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:26.080
He wants lots of fire breathers.

263
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.720
I think the only thing we asked for is monsters.

264
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:31.440
Right. He wants lots of fire breathers.

265
00:11:31.820 --> 00:11:35.710
He wanted some sausage or something in his dressing room.

266
00:11:36.289 --> 00:11:36.570
And then.

267
00:11:37.419 --> 00:11:40.100
When Good Morning America was reading off all the demands,

268
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:40.919
they missed one.

269
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.299
And he said, don't forget the bowl of sauerkraut. Wow.

270
00:11:45.340 --> 00:11:49.250
Because apparently that's the key to longevity is sauerkraut.

271
00:11:49.259 --> 00:11:51.750
Sauerkraut. It is good for you and good for what

272
00:11:51.830 --> 00:11:53.009
ails you. Right?

273
00:11:53.350 --> 00:11:54.019
There you go.

274
00:11:54.409 --> 00:11:58.629
So when you're 95, what will your demands be?

275
00:11:58.830 --> 00:12:03.210
My demands will be that everybody have a great time

276
00:12:03.490 --> 00:12:04.350
and just enjoy life.

277
00:12:05.509 --> 00:12:07.450
That's what you're all about. I love that.

278
00:12:07.470 --> 00:12:08.289
That's all it's about.

279
00:12:08.389 --> 00:12:09.669
That's what music's about.

280
00:12:10.149 --> 00:12:14.039
So I'm glad we have people like you still performing

281
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:14.450
for us.

282
00:12:14.580 --> 00:12:17.460
Oh, yeah, man. I'm in my prime. I'm only 58.

283
00:12:17.460 --> 00:12:19.220
There you go.

284
00:12:19.259 --> 00:12:21.559
Mick Jagger's 82.

285
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:24.360
I'm older than you. I'm 59. I'll be 68 in

286
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:25.399
a couple weeks.

287
00:12:25.419 --> 00:12:26.879
Yeah, yeah. It's awesome.

288
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:28.879
You're a young man next to me.

289
00:12:29.500 --> 00:12:33.129
You know, I love doing what I do and it's

290
00:12:33.250 --> 00:12:36.460
awesome and it's fun and, you know, I get to

291
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:38.559
hang out and and do it.

292
00:12:38.620 --> 00:12:40.080
So it's just, I'm blessed.

293
00:12:40.779 --> 00:12:42.860
And that's the way it should be. If you're not

294
00:12:42.899 --> 00:12:44.860
having fun, why do this? Yeah.

295
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.299
Why are you doing it? Yeah, exactly. Totally.

296
00:12:47.490 --> 00:12:49.710
So it is great to see you still having fun

297
00:12:49.809 --> 00:12:50.669
after all these years.

298
00:12:50.750 --> 00:12:51.429
Absolutely.

299
00:12:51.490 --> 00:12:54.210
Being here at Louder Than Life and killing it. Yeah.

300
00:12:54.570 --> 00:12:57.570
And thank you so much for having me. I appreciate it, man.

301
00:12:57.690 --> 00:12:59.590
Thank you once again for being on the Adventures of

302
00:12:59.610 --> 00:13:00.149
the Piedman.

303
00:13:00.429 --> 00:13:01.230
Yeah, buddy.

304
00:13:01.649 --> 00:13:02.009
All right.

305
00:13:04.029 --> 00:13:09.149
Thank you for listening to The Adventures of Pikeman on
