This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe

4
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.879
Man W four cy Radio, and I'm here with.

5
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.800
Andy and Dave from We came as Romans Nice here

6
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:28.800
at Download.

7
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:31.440
Yeah, man, when's the last time you played Download?

8
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:33.960
Ten years ago? Right? Yeah?

9
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:35.719
I think it's been like ten years honestly.

10
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.399
Wow, yeah, twenty sixteen, ten years ago.

11
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:44.000
So how does it feel here now compared to them

12
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:45.520
so far?

13
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:47.560
I mean, definitely a lot older.

14
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:50.399
I think my knees hurt a little more in the

15
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:50.960
last time.

16
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:53.280
Yeah, I mean a lot more walking.

17
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:55.439
We kind of, yeah, we kind of did everything a

18
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.719
little backwards we last time, we hear, I think we

19
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:01.000
had lighter music and we were younger so we could

20
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:03.679
run around. And now we're now we're back with heavier

21
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:05.719
music and there's more head banging and it hurts more,

22
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:07.319
but hey, we're still happy to be back.

23
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:08.200
Yeah man.

24
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.560
I mean I also think that since then, the band's

25
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.159
actually grown a lot, which wasn't really expected. You know,

26
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:16.680
at this point in our career, I kind of thought

27
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.359
we'd be coasting along, kind of playing the same stuff

28
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.200
that we've been doing. But no, I mean our last

29
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.560
couple of records have brought us to even new heights,

30
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:27.480
So that's been unexpected and awesome.

31
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.599
Do you kind of think maybe that Kyle's helping you

32
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.159
guys along from the other side.

33
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.319
Yeah, man, I think, I mean there's there's there's definitely

34
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:39.680
some kind of external forces at play, you know. I mean,

35
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.599
just with some of the creative things that Andy's come

36
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.400
up with in songwriting and and the and the boys

37
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.799
and the stuff that they've been creating. And the shows

38
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.879
just keep getting better and better and the albums keep selling.

39
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.239
And I don't know, man, I didn't even think we'd

40
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.079
still be doing this at our age now, but I

41
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:57.959
mean it's growing and we're still going.

42
00:01:58.159 --> 00:01:59.319
So here we are.

43
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.439
He's been good at either rooting for us, giving us direction,

44
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.040
or yelling at us don't go over there, So it's good.

45
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.920
I imagine that totally happened, you know.

46
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:12.520
And you know, it is funny that you're getting older

47
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:14.039
and getting heavier.

48
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.639
It's usually like the other way around, right, you know.

49
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.159
And it's funny like you mentioned about the head banging,

50
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.639
like I have osteoarthres neck from surfing and head banging,

51
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.680
but I still headbang, like I'll give a shit. I'll

52
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.759
give a shit respect, right, you know, it's like, fuck it,

53
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:34.879
I'll be paid for a few days.

54
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.319
It's worth it, amen, man. I mean it's I don't know.

55
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.039
I think at this stage in our careers, we're just like,

56
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.680
let's let's have fun. That's right, what we want to play,

57
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.360
that's right, like what makes us happy, and just keep

58
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.120
enjoying ourselves. And you know, it's been coming out heavier,

59
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:49.520
I guess.

60
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.680
And well, isn't that key too when you got to

61
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.479
be a band for a while, that you finally get

62
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.960
to play the music and write the music you want

63
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.360
to write. Instead write it for everybody else, you write

64
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:04.800
for yourself and your tribe follows you.

65
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:06.039
Yeah.

66
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.719
Yeah, I totally agree. And it's it's actually funny too.

67
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.280
The I think there's a lot of pressure when you're

68
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.120
younger or like, you come out of the gates with

69
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.520
some success and they always say you have your entire

70
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.080
life to write your first record, But then you have,

71
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.199
you know, a year to write your second record, so

72
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:21.560
it's a little bit different, and you have pressure, and

73
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.960
then you know families and you know, just different things

74
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.599
and different obligations. But I think what we've learned as

75
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:31.919
a band, especially over the years, has just been doing

76
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:34.039
what we love because we love to do it.

77
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.240
And I know that's an easier set thing than done.

78
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:37.960
It's always like, oh, we should always do what you love,

79
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:39.960
but a lot of times you have a different motive

80
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:41.599
or a different kind of thing in mind of oh,

81
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.120
like how do we get on the radio or do this?

82
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.080
And honestly, the when we get on the radio or

83
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.120
when we get on those things are bigger slots on

84
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.520
festivals is when we're trying to do.

85
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:52.840
Not that that's the goal.

86
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.479
The goal is always just to make ourselves happy, to

87
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.080
write about what we feel and experience. And I think

88
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.680
that over the years, learning that kind of combination is

89
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.319
really not only helped us but made everything easier and

90
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:05.800
a little bit more care free.

91
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:07.199
And that's how it should be. You know music.

92
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.560
Johnny from Bill Murray the day we're hanging out with

93
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:12.400
him and he's like, dude, music should just be fun,

94
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:13.240
Like you should just have one.

95
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:14.439
I'm like, I say it.

96
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.000
All the fucking time, Like, first of all, if you're

97
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:22.040
not having fun doing this is the wrong fucking industry,

98
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.120
because yeah, there's a lot of crap that's not fun.

99
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.800
So you might as well be having fun. Like I

100
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:32.800
see some bands up on stage sometimes and it's like, yeah,

101
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.319
they don't look like they're having a good time. And

102
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.199
then you see others like you guys are like they're

103
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:39.600
having the time in their life.

104
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.519
That's the way it should be, because we can tell.

105
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.079
Yeah, I agree, you know, And I think.

106
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.120
That's why you're growing, because you're fings fan, you know.

107
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.240
I think I think a lot of artists don't give

108
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:53.519
fans enough credit. I think fans can totally see through

109
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:54.920
when you put out a song you don't believe in,

110
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.519
or a song that isn't important to you, or like

111
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.639
you said, you know, if you're not having fun during

112
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.240
your performance, and like if you're not dialed in and

113
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.000
feeling it, fans can see it, man, and they can

114
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.600
feel it too, And it's it's true. You got to

115
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:10.560
be enjoying what you're doing. You gotta be believing in

116
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:11.600
the music you're putting out.

117
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:16.160
Agreed, And what do you think made you I won't

118
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:20.160
say decide because it probably wasn't a decision, but what

119
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.319
created you getting heavier?

120
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:24.879
Do you think? Well?

121
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:25.480
I mean, like.

122
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.439
We had this, like our fourth record, which is our

123
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.360
self tided record, we really were kind of had a

124
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.199
lot of people on our ear and it's no one's

125
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.319
fault but our own of just making decisions, you know.

126
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:39.759
But I think we were definitely, you know, kind of

127
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.040
had this bug in our ear being like, oh we

128
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.480
could do radio and did this whole radio game and

129
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.839
played this whole thing and just was like fitting in

130
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.120
a suit that didn't feel good and was very uncomfortable.

131
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.120
And so after that, I think we were you know,

132
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:54.279
Dave and I started a side projects with our other guitarist.

133
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:54.800
Louis that was heavier.

134
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.079
It was called Crucible, and we were just like trying

135
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.160
to get this like just demon out, you know, and

136
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.399
just just just angstiness, and eventually we're like, hey, we

137
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.360
just want to do this in the band. And so

138
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:08.000
from that, I think there was just a lot of like, yeah, man,

139
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.199
like we we feel this way, why can't we write

140
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.560
about it. Why do we have to have this guideline

141
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:13.879
or this thing, or why do we have to be

142
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:14.639
a radio band?

143
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.040
Like no one's telling us to do it. We are

144
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:17.120
the artists at the end of the day.

145
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:17.560
Yeah.

146
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.360
So I think once once that was kind of gone

147
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:23.680
and we started taking accountability for not only our decisions,

148
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:25.800
but the things we write about, we're like, no one

149
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.240
is holding us back but ourselves. So then we started

150
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:29.959
really being like, well, let's do this is keep pushing

151
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.439
the boundaries. And I think our fans really enjoyed that

152
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:34.879
because they're like, damn, dude, like not every record sounds

153
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.000
the same or not every you know, there's evolution, there's steps,

154
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.439
it's fresh, it's new, it's fun, it's exciting for us,

155
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:42.959
it's scary for us, but at the end of the day,

156
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:45.560
you know, it's it reminds us of like the first

157
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:47.959
time of doing all this shit, and those feelings are

158
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:50.519
really hard to get back. And there I feel like

159
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:52.319
a lot of people will always try to do that

160
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:54.600
or like like we're gonna make a song like this

161
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.800
like on purpose, and it just doesn't ever feel authentic.

162
00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:59.519
So I think the only way is kind of dipping

163
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.000
your toe into that unknown. And so when we started

164
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.879
doing that, I feel like it really started igniting more

165
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:05.839
cool shit.

166
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:08.399
And I just always kept going that north heavy.

167
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.000
So we were like, all right, turn the tuning down,

168
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:14.160
tune her down.

169
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:15.160
I love it.

170
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.040
And it is so true, man, Like it's so much

171
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:22.720
harder to not be authentic and I think you will

172
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:27.720
get all your goals by being authentic. You may get

173
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.439
them for a short time when you're not, but then

174
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:32.240
it disappears.

175
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:32.600
Yep.

176
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.879
And you made a point that I say all the time.

177
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.399
It's like, why do you want to write the same

178
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.800
album over and over, same song over and over. You're

179
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.519
an artist, You're getting better at your craft. You want

180
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:49.040
to expand you want to experiment. If you're a musician,

181
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:50.920
you want to experiment. You don't want to be in

182
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:51.720
this box.

183
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:52.639
Yeah.

184
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:53.680
And I always.

185
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.439
Say, you know because I come from the eighties where

186
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:58.839
the record labels would tell the bands how to play

187
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:03.240
their music. The business needs to be there, but let

188
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.319
the suits do their job and let the artists be

189
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:07.040
the creative.

190
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.680
Sure, I agree, amen, Man's it's like I said, I mean,

191
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:14.000
I think the most successful this band is ben is

192
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.560
when we've done what feels right for us, and like

193
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:18.519
we've stayed true to what we want to play and

194
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.600
what we believe in. And and you know, the records

195
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:22.839
that we aren't proud of.

196
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:24.120
I mean, at the end of the day, that's no

197
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:25.120
one's fault but our own.

198
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:28.279
And I think taking accountability for those two helped us

199
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:28.920
to move forward.

200
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:30.480
And be a better band.

201
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:34.600
And yeah, I agree with that too, Like, even though

202
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.480
you may have stuff that you're not proud of or

203
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.039
maybe thought you should have done differently, had you not

204
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:43.320
done it, you wouldn't be where you are now.

205
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:45.600
Oh man, I say it on stage every day because

206
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.080
like a lot of aspiring artists need to hear it too,

207
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:51.080
that doing this you fail all the time.

208
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:51.320
Man.

209
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:54.240
It's like and and you put stuff out that sucks

210
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.039
and you listen back on it like that sucked?

211
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:56.720
Why did I do that?

212
00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.440
Or like you make mistakes of course, but like the

213
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:03.399
difference is continuing on and learning from it and making

214
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.480
your band better and making your music better, making your

215
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:08.480
shows better, whatever it was, and just learning from those

216
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.279
failures and continuing on. Yeah, And it's it's an important

217
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.039
lesson to learn. It hurts and it sucks sometimes, but

218
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.240
looking back on everything we've done, I'm like, I don't

219
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.759
think we'd still be doing this if like we wouldn't

220
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.080
have learned from those mistakes and like improved from them

221
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:25.840
and totally you know it's it's it's.

222
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:27.080
An important part of being an artist.

223
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:27.600
Yeah.

224
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.600
Now, a really important question is did you check out

225
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:32.559
the two Harley's outside.

226
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.039
Dude, I did see those two bikes. I didn't get it.

227
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.000
Like I had to go do like some uh the

228
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.279
clothing mine, like wrap some stuff for the download.

229
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:41.840
They're fucking sweet, dude.

230
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.559
I just that I sold my bike about a year

231
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:46.679
ago and I've just still got the hitch now. But

232
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:49.200
I had I just had a little sporty like eighty

233
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:51.919
three Harley, and you know it was it was great

234
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:53.080
whipping around Detroit.

235
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:54.120
Love it, you know.

236
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.799
But I wiped it out once and if I had

237
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:58.519
a buddy who wiped his out, and you know, so.

238
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.320
I'm like, I'm just cool on the bike for a minute.

239
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:01.519
You know.

240
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:03.960
Plus in Detroit you can only really ride it like

241
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:06.000
three months out of the year, right, You're really like

242
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:06.799
bundling up.

243
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.159
But I don't even see the point.

244
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:10.919
I eye the bike and I don't see the point

245
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.919
of buttoning up while it's freezing out riding a bike.

246
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:16.360
I mean, you gotta really love it to do it,

247
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.639
you know what I mean. And I think if I

248
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.039
would hop back on the bike, I would get like

249
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.320
a Clyde or like a something I could do like

250
00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:26.679
longer journeys like up north, like Traverse City, like area,

251
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.279
or just like by the water kind of cruising.

252
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.519
But I have dude, we got scooters. Now, we do

253
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:33.320
have scooters.

254
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:34.200
That's cool.

255
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.720
Now, I'm like, we have a we call the CCS Club,

256
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.279
the Scooter Coffee Cocktail Scooter Scooters.

257
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:41.559
Yeah.

258
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:42.200
Nice.

259
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.120
In the morning, we all get our scooters out. We

260
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.039
can hit a coffee shop, get some work done, then

261
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.440
play the show. Scooters out go get a nice No, man,

262
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:50.360
not as cool.

263
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.200
But the scooter fits under the bus and it charges

264
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:54.000
while we're driving.

265
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.960
And it's great if you're like a big festival and

266
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.000
you need to get around.

267
00:10:58.039 --> 00:10:58.279
Yeah.

268
00:10:58.399 --> 00:10:59.799
Like I always love seeing that.

269
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.720
So when I got my motorcycle, it was during COVID

270
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:08.559
and he was like sending me videos of Judas Priest

271
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.480
when Rob comes out with the caves open up and

272
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.919
he comes out with the Harley and he's texting the

273
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:15.600
bench and he's like, dude, Andy, this is gonna be

274
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.759
you when we come back to Europe and he's like

275
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:19.919
hitting the gas.

276
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:21.799
I'm like, that'd be fucking sick.

277
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.799
We're not as cool though, So instead I think we

278
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:27.240
were in like Kansas or something.

279
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:29.720
We came out for the Encore on our scooters.

280
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.600
We were like sipping back and forth on the stage.

281
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:35.559
It's the t MoU version of I think that's.

282
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.799
Better actually, man, Like the whole crowd's probably like, what

283
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:39.360
the fuck.

284
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.919
There's a video somewhere of us just zipping back and

285
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:43.039
forth on the stage.

286
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:46.159
I think you should do that at Hellfest.

287
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:49.240
Oh yeah, it'd be fucking sick, you know, man, I'll

288
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:51.600
know that we're really doing well in Europe once we

289
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.120
have scooters over here too. That's when I'll know we

290
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:55.799
really made it over here.

291
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.320
On the wrong side of the road, oh man.

292
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:03.440
Every time I come here for bloodstock and download, I

293
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.120
fucking I can't handle it.

294
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:05.360
Man.

295
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.320
I'm like, it's stick shift, the sticks on the wrong side.

296
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:11.399
I'm sitting on the wrong side. I'm on the wrong

297
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:14.120
side road, and I like, I don't even turn the

298
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:17.679
music on. I'm like, white knuckling, where's at home? I

299
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:18.799
don't even pay attention.

300
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:20.399
It's hard to even cross the street here.

301
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.879
I wound up looking left, right, left, right, I'm like, okay,

302
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:24.399
which way to All the cars are coming from the

303
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:25.039
left this time.

304
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:27.240
All right, that's the worst thing for me.

305
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:29.600
I can't tell you how many times I've been in

306
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:33.240
London and friends have literally grabbed my shirt because I

307
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:36.039
just walked right into the street because I looked that

308
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:36.799
way in the car.

309
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:41.879
It fox went my head so bad, man.

310
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.159
And then it's it's shocking to me that none like you,

311
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:46.480
especially you, dude.

312
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:48.200
You were like you were really bad for me, and

313
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.080
we would have to hold him every time we crossed the.

314
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:51.120
Street in the same way.

315
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:56.120
Dude, that's totally me like together, you know, every single time.

316
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:01.480
Like I even did it today walking into the festival

317
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.480
and there was a car like, oh shit.

318
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:06.519
Yeah, and they'll just run you over.

319
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:07.320
They don't care.

320
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:10.080
Smokey out here, dude, serve from Detroit.

321
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:13.200
Were used to potholes and bad roads and pissed off drivers.

322
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:14.759
But over here, man, you know the.

323
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:16.559
Potholes that kind of slows them down a little bit.

324
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.279
Over here, they can just zip around.

325
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:21.120
Get hot, right potholes in Detroit and just dug exactly,

326
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.399
that's right over you.

327
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:27.120
Well, you guys fucking rock. I'm glad you're here at download.

328
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.360
I normally do health Fest, but I'm doing a Father's

329
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:31.600
Day thing instead, so.

330
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.200
I canceled that for you man, for you, it is

331
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:34.720
a good thing.

332
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:37.600
I wish I were going to be at your show

333
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:40.120
at health Fest, but that's more important.

334
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:41.440
But man, it's all good.

335
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:43.759
That is a badass festival. I love that one.

336
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:45.960
Yeah, that one's gonna be a ripper. I can't wait.

337
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:47.840
It's it's one of the ones we're looking forward to

338
00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:49.240
a lot for sure. Cool.

339
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:51.559
