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
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:21.500
This is Pipe Man here on the Adventures of Pipe

4
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:23.640
Man W4CY radio, and I'm here with.

5
00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:27.519
Hugo from Tantric. Nice. Your second favorite band after Subhumans,

6
00:00:27.550 --> 00:00:30.410
you were saying. Well, no. You didn't hear the rest

7
00:00:30.469 --> 00:00:35.750
of it. Okay. Maybe top punk band. Punk bands. Old

8
00:00:35.869 --> 00:00:39.109
school punk band. I'll even get that specific. All right. Okay.

9
00:00:39.130 --> 00:00:42.659
But as far as bands in general, you might be

10
00:00:42.729 --> 00:00:43.359
number one.

11
00:00:43.579 --> 00:00:44.399
All right. I'll take it.

12
00:00:44.500 --> 00:00:44.920
I'll take it.

13
00:00:45.829 --> 00:00:48.210
All right, here's the $ 20 part. I know, right? There

14
00:00:48.250 --> 00:00:48.570
you go.

15
00:00:48.990 --> 00:00:51.649
It's just because you're here at Louder Than Life because

16
00:00:52.310 --> 00:00:54.070
if you're at Louder Than Life, you've got to be

17
00:00:54.130 --> 00:00:56.390
one of the top bands in the fucking universe.

18
00:00:56.649 --> 00:01:00.130
I'm so grateful to be here again. It's super cool.

19
00:01:00.630 --> 00:01:03.219
Like I was telling them before, I was like, it's

20
00:01:03.259 --> 00:01:08.140
great because it's the best... concert experience you can go to.

21
00:01:08.810 --> 00:01:10.439
If you can go to one concert a year, this

22
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:14.159
is the one I get, right? But I've done it

23
00:01:14.180 --> 00:01:14.879
a few years ago.

24
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:15.620
It was fun there.

25
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.519
And I'm from, you know, our band originated in the city,

26
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:22.239
so there's like a lot of hometown thing. So it's cool, man.

27
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.939
We're happy to be here. We drove all night to

28
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:25.280
get here.

29
00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:26.500
So we're good. Nice.

30
00:01:27.019 --> 00:01:29.239
So you're all fresh and ready. Yeah, I mean, when

31
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.250
I say we drove, I meant none of us drove.

32
00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:35.829
Right? It was funny the other night.

33
00:01:36.290 --> 00:01:39.769
The dude from Star Set was back here and I'm

34
00:01:39.810 --> 00:01:43.400
talking to him and he's like, yeah, the driver's fucking

35
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:45.000
up so I'm the one driving.

36
00:01:45.019 --> 00:01:47.980
I'm like, that sucks. Right, yeah.

37
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:50.879
I actually, I don't mind driving, you know, like for

38
00:01:50.939 --> 00:01:53.109
like yesterday was like a nine hour drive. So we

39
00:01:53.140 --> 00:01:56.010
had to like, just go after I get off stage yesterday,

40
00:01:56.030 --> 00:01:58.909
we just basically went to bed and everybody like slept,

41
00:01:58.950 --> 00:02:01.469
got in their bunks and slept. But like, you know,

42
00:02:01.790 --> 00:02:03.849
I don't mind the drive, you know, it's better than

43
00:02:03.909 --> 00:02:05.590
not doing, you know, those things are kind of fun

44
00:02:05.609 --> 00:02:06.290
to drive, you know?

45
00:02:06.730 --> 00:02:07.090
Yeah.

46
00:02:07.170 --> 00:02:09.490
But you don't want to have to drive all night

47
00:02:09.569 --> 00:02:10.509
and then play.

48
00:02:10.569 --> 00:02:11.729
No, I can do that.

49
00:02:11.770 --> 00:02:15.490
Like, you know, when my band first started right now,

50
00:02:15.530 --> 00:02:17.030
I'm just like, nah, that's, that's horrible.

51
00:02:18.710 --> 00:02:19.310
So what do you.

52
00:02:19.229 --> 00:02:21.689
Guys all think about being at Lowriden Life? Let's see

53
00:02:21.710 --> 00:02:23.030
what anybody else has to say.

54
00:02:23.270 --> 00:02:25.599
I think it's absolutely amazing. I can't wait to play today.

55
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:26.280
Nice.

56
00:02:26.849 --> 00:02:30.990
Well, I'm originally from Lexington, Kentucky, so Louisville has always

57
00:02:31.009 --> 00:02:32.009
been a bucket list for me.

58
00:02:32.090 --> 00:02:34.159
So for me, it's amazing. I love being here. It's

59
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.379
going to be outstanding. And you know how to say

60
00:02:36.419 --> 00:02:39.319
the town name properly. Louisville. Yeah, exactly.

61
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.419
I could translate the rest of the stuff that she

62
00:02:41.469 --> 00:02:43.710
said if you guys don't understand it. She said that

63
00:02:43.750 --> 00:02:47.629
she's from Lexington originally, right? So that Louisville is kind

64
00:02:47.650 --> 00:02:49.810
of like her sister city, you know?

65
00:02:50.349 --> 00:02:57.180
And there's some banjo sounds in the middle. Right?

66
00:02:57.659 --> 00:02:58.740
And then something at the end.

67
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.960
But good job. Good job. All right. There you go.

68
00:03:03.099 --> 00:03:05.699
Anybody else want to say anything? I'm excited to be here.

69
00:03:06.419 --> 00:03:08.900
Ready to play. It's absolutely surreal. First time being here

70
00:03:08.939 --> 00:03:12.819
and playing it. Nice. He was just born like three

71
00:03:12.860 --> 00:03:14.439
years ago.

72
00:03:14.500 --> 00:03:17.280
I was thinking like, shit, how is he old enough

73
00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:18.439
to even get in the joint?

74
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:19.000
I don't know.

75
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.500
See, what we're doing is we're making rock star babies now.

76
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.000
We're cloning in all the things. We're like, you must

77
00:03:26.020 --> 00:03:29.719
be subservient to the singer. Right, right. So we've been.

78
00:03:30.259 --> 00:03:33.449
And he just got ripe a couple years ago.

79
00:03:33.490 --> 00:03:38.949
I just plucked him and now he's fully indoctrinated. Well,

80
00:03:39.289 --> 00:03:41.250
everybody has to have their own.

81
00:03:42.009 --> 00:03:47.439
Token, Gen Z, Token Millennial, and Token Alpha in their

82
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:48.500
bands nowadays.

83
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.199
Yeah, well, I mean, to me it's this. We all

84
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.090
get along pretty well, and that's a good thing. But

85
00:03:54.110 --> 00:03:56.229
there's so many, you know, these days there's so many

86
00:03:56.289 --> 00:04:01.090
different people doing music at different times in their life.

87
00:04:01.669 --> 00:04:03.349
So it all comes together, you know.

88
00:04:03.750 --> 00:04:06.930
Well, that is what's cool about nowadays is Like I

89
00:04:06.990 --> 00:04:10.860
remember in the 80s, there was no fucking way that

90
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:14.159
I would be in a band with somebody my age.

91
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:16.959
Okay? There was no way I would even go to

92
00:04:17.019 --> 00:04:21.360
a concert. With somebody my age. Which is good.

93
00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:23.360
I mean, I think that it's evolved in that way

94
00:04:23.459 --> 00:04:25.500
where it's not like anything goes.

95
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:26.600
It's about the music.

96
00:04:26.699 --> 00:04:31.589
It's about, if you've never seen it before, we're welcoming it.

97
00:04:31.689 --> 00:04:33.649
You know what I'm saying? And we can all share,

98
00:04:33.790 --> 00:04:36.329
multi-share racial. I mean, there's people that do it wrong.

99
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.620
You know what I'm saying? Where you're just like, you swung,

100
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.240
but you're like, you know. Whoa, you might want to

101
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:42.899
sit this one out. Right, right, right.

102
00:04:42.939 --> 00:04:45.230
But like, yeah, man, it's cool. I think we're not

103
00:04:45.410 --> 00:04:45.990
all inclusive.

104
00:04:46.009 --> 00:04:46.569
You know what I'm saying?

105
00:04:46.610 --> 00:04:50.310
Like all ages, you know, all good people, you know,

106
00:04:50.410 --> 00:04:52.709
sharing a same journey.

107
00:04:52.949 --> 00:04:53.569
Exactly.

108
00:04:54.230 --> 00:04:58.149
So what kind of fun have you been doing since

109
00:04:58.189 --> 00:04:59.389
the last time we talked?

110
00:05:00.269 --> 00:05:04.920
Man. Our life is fun. Not just music, just anything.

111
00:05:05.180 --> 00:05:08.620
Well, I just recently got to sing the Star Spangled Banner.

112
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:10.740
Really? Well, I'll tell you a quick story.

113
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.149
Evan Longoria, who's like a huge baseball player for Tampa Rays,

114
00:05:15.449 --> 00:05:19.069
if you don't know about sports, which I don't, okay?

115
00:05:19.189 --> 00:05:21.769
I like Eva Longoria. Right, right.

116
00:05:22.529 --> 00:05:24.589
Right. She doesn't use my songs, so I don't like

117
00:05:24.629 --> 00:05:26.740
her as much. I mean, unless I'm just looking at her.

118
00:05:26.750 --> 00:05:27.750
I only like her looks.

119
00:05:27.850 --> 00:05:32.279
Right, right. Right, me too. But she can't swing a bat. Right.

120
00:05:32.939 --> 00:05:35.980
Anyways, I'm not getting any royalties from her. But this guy,

121
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.259
this guy, like, used my song forever.

122
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:41.759
And he was, like, MVP. Like, this guy's, like, you know,

123
00:05:41.779 --> 00:05:42.360
the real deal.

124
00:05:42.819 --> 00:05:47.310
So he retired, and Tampa Bay invited me to go,

125
00:05:47.329 --> 00:05:50.149
me and the band to go out there and play his, like,

126
00:05:51.050 --> 00:05:55.269
walkout song for his last time as to a retiring summer.

127
00:05:55.569 --> 00:05:58.779
And I sang the Star Spangled Banner, which I didn't butcher.

128
00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:02.060
By the way. You mean you didn't sing taps? No.

129
00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:06.300
No, I didn't butcher it because I've seen a lot

130
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.759
of people butcher it and I was nervous that I

131
00:06:08.810 --> 00:06:09.470
was going to.

132
00:06:09.730 --> 00:06:11.529
Do you remember when Roseanne did it?

133
00:06:11.750 --> 00:06:15.620
Yeah, but like she... Yeah, she was horrible. But, like,

134
00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:18.490
right after, who is the lady who just did it

135
00:06:18.550 --> 00:06:20.089
right after? I don't know, but she was all over

136
00:06:20.129 --> 00:06:22.889
the Instagram. She was, like, an old, like, R &

137
00:06:22.490 --> 00:06:26.220
B legend, but she was singing it with, like, two other, like,

138
00:06:26.980 --> 00:06:30.550
girls who were, like... It was, like, three drunk girls

139
00:06:30.689 --> 00:06:32.230
on a karaoke night.

140
00:06:32.310 --> 00:06:33.029
It was crazy.

141
00:06:33.050 --> 00:06:36.889
And, like, even, like, George Washington was like, no! And

142
00:06:36.949 --> 00:06:37.769
his tooth came out.

143
00:06:38.329 --> 00:06:40.649
It was crazy. But, uh.

144
00:06:41.449 --> 00:06:44.319
So, like, me and my girl, we were like... I

145
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.839
was like, okay, they asked me to sing the Starspan event.

146
00:06:46.860 --> 00:06:51.100
I was psyched at first. And then I got super terrified,

147
00:06:51.139 --> 00:06:53.399
you know? Because you're like, yeah, I'm used to singing

148
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.439
my songs and being a badass with my shit.

149
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.550
But, like... Do I actually know everything?

150
00:06:58.569 --> 00:07:00.389
You know, like, you start questioning if you know the

151
00:07:00.430 --> 00:07:02.089
words to the Star Spangled Banner. When's the last time

152
00:07:02.110 --> 00:07:04.810
you sang Star Spangled Banner? You guys just sing along.

153
00:07:05.089 --> 00:07:07.230
That means if you forget one word, it's all right.

154
00:07:07.310 --> 00:07:09.529
You've got 14,000 other people covering you, right?

155
00:07:09.649 --> 00:07:12.560
Yeah, if you forget a word in Star Spangled Banner, like,

156
00:07:12.629 --> 00:07:14.379
nobody's ever forgetting that.

157
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.259
Right, right. Especially, you know, like, you know.

158
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.920
And there's, like, they use the old English, you know.

159
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:24.180
It's all the land of the free. Cheerio and Chipmate

160
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:25.779
and all that. You know, so like.

161
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.670
Meanwhile, I remember Ozzy fucking it up one time, like

162
00:07:30.949 --> 00:07:31.629
way back.

163
00:07:31.769 --> 00:07:33.470
Right, but I can understand that. But he can fuck

164
00:07:33.529 --> 00:07:35.949
it up. Yeah, I can understand it. Nobody can understand

165
00:07:35.990 --> 00:07:37.850
him anyway. Right, right. We're like.

166
00:07:38.889 --> 00:07:41.500
It's Ozzy, you know, he's got like a hall pass

167
00:07:41.540 --> 00:07:42.250
for life, bro.

168
00:07:42.689 --> 00:07:43.639
For everything.

169
00:07:43.660 --> 00:07:45.540
But listen, like me and my girl, I'm just driving

170
00:07:45.579 --> 00:07:47.720
down the road. I'm like, oh, say, can you see

171
00:07:47.980 --> 00:07:48.399
by the dawn?

172
00:07:48.420 --> 00:07:50.220
So, you know, like I was just saying the words,

173
00:07:50.259 --> 00:07:53.220
like rapping them just to get the words like sunk

174
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.040
into my head over and over and not.

175
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:55.360
Mess them up.

176
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.199
I'd be afraid that when I got up there, I

177
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:00.370
would start rapping it because I programmed my head.

178
00:08:00.389 --> 00:08:04.089
Oh, say, can you see what... No, that would have been, like, worse,

179
00:08:04.430 --> 00:08:08.670
I think. You know, I didn't Mariah Carey. I didn't

180
00:08:08.730 --> 00:08:11.470
Whitney Houston. I just sang it like a lawnmower would

181
00:08:11.490 --> 00:08:13.399
sing it. And it sounded great.

182
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:16.220
I got a little two-stroke. You just put a great

183
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:17.319
visual in my head.

184
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:21.660
Like, we got the creator over there of Bob's Burger

185
00:08:21.699 --> 00:08:22.779
and Sanjay and Craig.

186
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.500
Yeah, yeah. We could have him create, like, a cartoon

187
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:29.490
of a lawnmower. Singing the Star Wars. With a Tantrum T-shirt. Like,

188
00:08:29.509 --> 00:08:29.910
that's me.

189
00:08:30.050 --> 00:08:30.209
Yeah.

190
00:08:31.370 --> 00:08:34.679
Yeah. Everybody's like, hey, man, they come to our shows, right?

191
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.860
And people who have never been to our shows, sometimes

192
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:39.919
they'll just meet me before because I'll be doing whatever.

193
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:43.000
And they're like, hey, are you Hugo from Tension? I'm like, yeah,

194
00:08:43.019 --> 00:08:47.539
I'm Hugo from Tension. Like, oh, oh, what's wrong with

195
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:48.740
your voice? I'm like, what do you mean, what's wrong?

196
00:08:48.820 --> 00:08:50.620
Are you going to be able to sing?

197
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:55.570
Should I get my money back for these tickets?

198
00:08:55.620 --> 00:08:59.429
And I'm like, no, man, that's my voice, man.

199
00:08:59.509 --> 00:09:02.659
Chill out. You give it a time, it warms up, dude.

200
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:03.779
You know?

201
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:05.909
Well, that's kind of like back in the day in

202
00:09:05.990 --> 00:09:08.750
the 80s when I would see Slayer all the time

203
00:09:08.970 --> 00:09:12.409
when they were young and we would hang out.

204
00:09:12.769 --> 00:09:12.970
Yeah.

205
00:09:13.049 --> 00:09:16.649
And I remember talking to Tom and I'm like, how

206
00:09:16.700 --> 00:09:19.320
does he have the most brutal voice in metal? Like,

207
00:09:19.340 --> 00:09:20.200
his voice was like.

208
00:09:20.259 --> 00:09:22.799
It's crazy. Hi, how are you? And they're like, hi,

209
00:09:23.100 --> 00:09:25.399
can I help you with your groceries? Right. And then

210
00:09:25.460 --> 00:09:29.049
he gets on stage and it's like... Hi, how are you? Right.

211
00:09:29.090 --> 00:09:30.580
I mean, I don't know how they do that. You

212
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.419
would think that I would be a screamo guy. I'd

213
00:09:32.460 --> 00:09:35.039
be like, what the hell? But I'm not.

214
00:09:35.379 --> 00:09:38.799
I'm a very, very crooner type guy. But I love

215
00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:39.559
those guys, by the way.

216
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:42.379
When I was first starting my career, we did one

217
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:44.370
of the late shows with them.

218
00:09:45.230 --> 00:09:47.269
And that was fun. You know, I was just like,

219
00:09:47.370 --> 00:09:47.570
you know.

220
00:09:48.809 --> 00:09:53.240
Well, yeah, there you go. The fucking Slayer. Yeah, exactly.

221
00:09:53.259 --> 00:09:55.700
You have to almost say fucking before it. You have to.

222
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:57.159
It's a requirement for sure.

223
00:09:57.210 --> 00:09:57.970
Right, yeah, yeah.

224
00:09:59.690 --> 00:10:02.049
So, what else you got going on that you want

225
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.299
to talk about that you want the listeners to know about?

226
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:07.320
I mean, we're working on a new record that hopefully

227
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:08.899
the single will come out at least at the end

228
00:10:08.940 --> 00:10:11.740
of this year. But, dude, we tour all the time.

229
00:10:11.779 --> 00:10:13.679
We've been doing this for 30 years. We're happy to

230
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:15.919
be here. We appreciate all the fans that are going

231
00:10:15.940 --> 00:10:18.259
to come see you. We appreciate you. How have you been, bro?

232
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:20.659
You've been doing good? Fucking great. Right on, dude.

233
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:22.240
We're here at Louder Than Life with Tantric. Thank you

234
00:10:22.259 --> 00:10:23.769
for perpetuating our career.

235
00:10:23.490 --> 00:10:26.519
And all these other artists by talking about them and

236
00:10:26.710 --> 00:10:29.529
educating people about the music. We couldn't be here without

237
00:10:29.570 --> 00:10:32.070
you and the fans. This is like a family event,

238
00:10:32.509 --> 00:10:33.769
and we're just grateful to be here, man.

239
00:10:33.809 --> 00:10:37.309
Well, thank you for giving us the best therapy you

240
00:10:37.350 --> 00:10:39.850
could give us in a time when we need it most.

241
00:10:40.169 --> 00:10:44.149
Because I'm here, I'm going to be at Tantric Set,

242
00:10:44.549 --> 00:10:46.090
and I don't give a fuck if the.

243
00:10:46.029 --> 00:10:49.230
World blows up. I appreciate that. Because I don't even know.

244
00:10:49.250 --> 00:10:50.970
Hell yeah, man. I appreciate it. And that's what it's

245
00:10:50.990 --> 00:10:51.429
all about.

246
00:10:52.169 --> 00:10:54.929
And I'll part with saying this, that it's more than

247
00:10:55.049 --> 00:10:59.049
just the bands. The bands only exist because of the fans,

248
00:10:59.529 --> 00:11:01.649
and the fans only exist because of the people in

249
00:11:01.669 --> 00:11:03.429
between that introduced the music to.

250
00:11:03.370 --> 00:11:04.549
Them, which is you guys.

251
00:11:04.889 --> 00:11:05.070
So.

252
00:11:05.590 --> 00:11:08.720
Everybody here should take a bow for themselves because it

253
00:11:08.779 --> 00:11:10.120
takes a village to do this.

254
00:11:10.299 --> 00:11:12.440
And I'm really just happy to be a part of it.

255
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.200
And it's our family and community that you're a part of.

256
00:11:15.259 --> 00:11:16.679
We're all part of. That's right.

257
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.970
And we're going to take over the world and teach

258
00:11:21.029 --> 00:11:22.789
people how to be human beings.

259
00:11:22.850 --> 00:11:24.789
Yeah. Yeah. I'll tell you one thing, you know.

260
00:11:25.509 --> 00:11:28.340
People come to these type of festivals, and they see

261
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.100
a lot of people gothed out and just meddled out,

262
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.480
and they think that these people are going to be aggressive,

263
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.360
or they're going to be rude or mean. These are

264
00:11:37.379 --> 00:11:40.649
the nicest people. If you are out there, you've never

265
00:11:40.690 --> 00:11:44.909
been to a rock festival, do something new. Come out

266
00:11:44.950 --> 00:11:47.129
to a rock festival. These are the nicest people. They

267
00:11:47.169 --> 00:11:51.139
will help you. They are not... I mean, if you

268
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:52.720
don't want to get hurt, don't go to the mosh pit.

269
00:11:53.019 --> 00:11:53.840
But you know what I'm saying?

270
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.919
This is a lot different than a lot of people

271
00:11:57.250 --> 00:11:58.990
perceive it to be that have never been in it.

272
00:11:59.009 --> 00:12:01.309
The nicest people on earth. I was in a pit

273
00:12:01.350 --> 00:12:03.370
for Chad Gray last night. Because we're all nerds.

274
00:12:03.389 --> 00:12:05.789
Growing up, we're all nerds. We're just like nerds doing

275
00:12:05.809 --> 00:12:06.309
it together.

276
00:12:06.330 --> 00:12:09.379
You fall in the pit, somebody picks you up. I

277
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.000
showed her a video when I was in the pit

278
00:12:11.019 --> 00:12:13.460
for Chad Gray. She's like, oh, look, somebody just was

279
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:14.269
picking somebody up.

280
00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:17.840
Yeah, that's what it's about. It's not about knocking them down. No,

281
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:18.139
it's not.

282
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.549
It's about picking them up, elevating them. And we all

283
00:12:21.610 --> 00:12:24.490
just love each other. And the world can take notes

284
00:12:24.590 --> 00:12:25.110
from us.

285
00:12:25.149 --> 00:12:30.220
Yeah, nobody wants to hurt somebody in the pit for real.

286
00:12:30.659 --> 00:12:33.460
But also, if you don't want to get wet, don't

287
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:35.379
get in the water. You know what I'm saying? No doubt.

288
00:12:35.700 --> 00:12:37.429
No doubt. Well, thanks a lot for being here. Man,

289
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.120
thank you for having us, bro. You're the best, man.

290
00:12:39.340 --> 00:12:39.860
You too, man.

291
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:41.259
I know you've been in this for a long time,

292
00:12:41.299 --> 00:12:44.250
and I appreciate you, and I know who you are, and.

293
00:12:44.409 --> 00:12:44.950
We love you.

294
00:12:45.429 --> 00:12:48.210
Hey, without you, there's no me either, so thank you

295
00:12:48.230 --> 00:12:49.870
for being on the Adventures of Pipe Man.

296
00:12:50.350 --> 00:12:51.090
Say thank you, guys.

297
00:12:51.389 --> 00:12:52.070
Pipe Man.

298
00:12:55.330 --> 00:12:59.600
Thank you for listening to the Adventures of Pipe Man

299
00:13:00.259 --> 00:13:05.759
on W4CY Radio. Thank you.
