0:51 So fight Man, I'll be four s white. I'm com with pomp Beach is number one Internet radio station. From here's your host, the fight Man. Pipe Man's back, no voice back from Welcome to Rockville. And it was badass, even with three days in a row of evacuations. But let's talk more about that. As we bring on the pipe Nuts and studio. Nut has to refresh his page. Oh there he is, Oh here he is, So swamp Nut, what's going on in the swamp there? Have you had any evacuations from the swamp.

1:31 We've had a lot of flood warnings, but new evacuations. One. How was the weather here in the studio? Did you have evacuations? No evacuations here? It was actually very sunny. Well, Welcome to Rockville was very sunny. It was very hot, but then it wasn't, and then it was not, and then it was lightning, and then we were evacuated three days in a row and still go to see. So from how I understand that one person did a rain dance and the other brought what was the lightning rods with him? This is something like that. Yeah, you were listening to that. Huh, yeah, it was one of the interviews. Maybe as somebody that wasn't there for the interview that happened to hear that stuff.

2:24 Why don't you give us some feedback about what happened during that particular code read evacuation. Oh I love that interview because you guys like they were like evacuating everyone and they were just like making up songs about the cole red. These guys are crazy. They're called psycho stick and they love them. But they're funny. They got these funny songs, you know, and they look pretty cool. Here's the thing. One of the evacuations, all free evacuations either was about to start interview or in an interview. So one of them, it was during the interview and might have been Psychostick, but I think it was another one. And the dude was whispering to me red and I had interviewed earlier that day. The band read, so I said, and you probably heard it in the interview, Yeah, you said, it said, very interviewed, And I really was dead serious. It didn't even occur to me because it happened so fast. It went from like it goes from green to yellow to orange to red, and usually that takes a while. This was like yellow orange red, boom, done and now the good news is at the speedway where I get the park at this festival is like literally a thirty second walk.

3:59 So one of the days, I think it was the last last one that happened, because you know, you do these festivals. You know, I'm up at four in the morning getting everything done before the festival game they're early, get back home at like three in the morning, you know, so it's like you don't really get sleep. And so the last evacuation, I literally was like napping in my jeep because it was like a double There were a double storm cells. So I had time to nap for a little bit in the jeep while we waited.

4:40 You know, I just love how your intuition is backwards. When they tell you Red, you think of the band Red. But when they tell you but when you say, like, what was it? You said something about Asinine and they were like, oh, that was like the name of our band when we first got started. Right totally. And then they said the words at every interviewer once a year, Oh, you did your research. There's nothing worse there are Okay, so there are times that. You don't. If you don't do your research, they will call you out on that shit. You know, you're very quiet today, rebel, can you open your eyes please? Okay, good? Perfect? What do you think of Rockville swamp Nut?

5:34 I didn't know this year. Oh was this another year where you were at the airport with a water bottle and refuse to listen. No, they don't remind me to go in those places. Yeah, well that's for sure, okay, but so yeah, it was badass went up there. Okay, let me start from the beginning. Let's go back to the beginning, Back to the beginning, Oh, by the way, I have to say before I go on about Rockville. I just realized something this morning. Does anybody really how coincidental? It is not coincidental. I don't think that. Within the same week, not only do you have uh, Ronda Rousey having a fight with somebody that was you know, you know? Do you know who it is? Rebel? Let's see who? Okay, let the wrestler? No, this is this is MMA ding dong.

6:41 Well she started out as a wrestle. Well she started out as an MMA. She went to wrestling and went back. The one she's fighting. Do you know who she's fighting? No? Do you not do any research of anything? I don't watch MMA. I don't don't care for it, So why don't you care for it? I don't see the point. I mean, just like I don't like boxing, what's. Why not it's kind of fun to see people beat the cramp out of each other. Control the environment. It's a controlled environment. No, seriously, though, Okay, I was trying to test you, but once again you fail. Okay, So there's a fight coming up this weekend. Okay, it's Ronda Rousey versus Gina Carano. Now Gina say that that's where we're getting this. Okay, slow down, one, slow down.

7:44 I know. I was like to go, like say it, say it. Say she didn't say it? Okay, So but here is the deal. Okay. So well we'll get you up to date, Rebel, and that'll get all the listeners up to date. Okay. So Gina was like the first we mean ever in MMA, and she was like Ronda's like idol, but then Ronda was the first like killer in MMME. But they both are really badass and now they're finally fighting for the first time, both coming out of retirement to do this fight. It's kind of like Mike Tyson, you know. And so anyway, she was not Ronda. Gina was on the Mandalorian. She got canceled from the Mandalorian. Do you know why, Rebel?

8:40 Of course you don't because you don't know shit one. Do you know what. That one? I don't know that just now. She was in the Mandalorian. Yeah, she was kicked off and she was basically blackballed from Hollywood because she starts making like political comments that they didn't agree with. It's bait. That's as far as I'll go with that. But you know, basically that that's what happened. However, it's kind of coincidental that she has been in talks with Lucasfilms to maybe come back, and coincidentally this weekend, not you have not only to fight, but the movie The Mandalorian coming out.

9:29 So hmm, I. Think that's all a plan for marketing, don't you want? Yeah? I mean like they also have a Johnny Depp trying to come back to Pirates of the Carabean, so there's a lot of people that are coming back then the win. Yeah, but she was like black Bull. But the point of she I don't think she's fought in twenty years, and all of a sudden she's coming out of retirement to fight. Well, maybe she needs some money and she wants to draw attention away from the movie because they. I think it's because they said, if you fight, you can be back in the movie. Why because then it would just give more eyes coming to the movie. That's what I think.

10:19 You think it's all about marketing. Can we have a lightsaber fight between Ronda and Gina a lifesaver fight lightsaber? Oh yeah, that would be way cool. I think we should start those. Actually, that's the new thing forget wrestling, forget MMA, forget boxing. Lightsaber fighting. They should do that during the fight. You know, I'm down with that. Like halfway through the fight, they just throw two lightsabers into the ring. No doubt, and I get both of them. So the reason I'm also bringing this up is because when day it started with the most amazing event pre festival that Dandy Wimmer has ever had. It was called Blood for Blood.

11:11 This shit was off the chain, man, what a great event. So what it was is it was bare knuckle fights and music and music. So you would have the fights and in between you would have bands play. But the headline fight was the singer of Slaughter to prevail. Who is this big Russian dude, Who's who's stacked? Man? And then he was performing at Welcome to Rockville. But he also performed in the beginning night, So he performed a music set at the beginning of night on Wednesday night, then had a he was the main event for the fight, then had a set at Welcome to Rockville. What a badass, because like you're gonna go be a singer and form a set after getting into a fight, a bare knuckle fight, do you know what bare knuckle fighting is swamp nut, Yes I do. It's what you see out on your street every day, That's what it is. But so there were the fights were great, but there was also this girl fight. Oh my god, and I, by the way, every single fight tonight except one, I picked the winner going in before they went in, and this one was the same. It was this girl. Boy, she kicked the crap out of this other girl. So I went up to her afterwards, congratulator, and told, hey, let's take a

12:43 picture of you punching me. So that was yeah. So I'm just gonna say, we're gonna have some pictures and video posted to social media. So if you go to pipe Man Radio and all socials, you'll be able to catch pipe Man in the bare knuckle fight. Okay, that explains a black guy. That's why you're wearing glasses today. Wait wait, wait, it gets better, It gets better. Okay. So she just basically she pressed up against for posing for the picture. Then they had a female champion walking around, so I went up to her and I did the same thing, and you got it right on the buddy wad.

13:31 She hauled off and it sucked me right in the eye. Like more like the temple man, but she didn't mean to It's toll accident like and it's story no, like I laughed when it happened, and she was like, oh my god, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do I could see that, like I've played, I've been playing around with somebody before an accident'll hit on by mistake, you know. Well for them, you have to think of it this way. They trained to hit. Yeah, it's muscle memory. You cannot control that. You know. And there's one picture of me where I'm like, it looks like she just knocked me out because I'm like this as her fist is hitting me, like because I play it up for the camera man, But I was laughing with it. I got hit, So I'm not sorry about it at all. In fact, it was it was pretty It was pretty good. Talk about marketing. It's pretty good promo for the Pipe Mad, Like poor pipe Mad got shit kicked doled by a girl. I mean, like, it doesn't get better than that. Oh yeah, but yeah, So let me tell you about the fights. Okay, the main event, the main event. His name is Alex Deterbo. Okay, one can you do me? A favor and show up a video right now of Slutter to Prevail. Okay, and

15:08 and let's see what he's all about on stage. Let's start there, okay, so you can know what you're looking at. Uh, we can also pull up while you're doing that, I'm going to pull up a pick and the fight picture of them. So dude, let me know when you're ready to captain. So we're just looking for any video of him on stage. Uh yeah, yeah, of them performing at festival Google. Welcome to Rockville, twenty twenty six. Flutter to Prevail.

15:51 You must have been doing a lot of talking, a lot of screaming because you have no voice barely. Well, let me tell you what happened. Okay. So, because of three days a row of evacuations, I had twelve of my interviews cut. This is the product of the thirty two other ones I did. Okay, So imagine that I got twelve cut and I still have thirty two. You know what I'm saying. That's pretty The funny thing is when you're listening to those interviews, you can tell which ones went first and which ones went last based on the how much voice he has left in him.

16:34 No doubt no doubt. Right, did you find it yet? You sure did? Okay, let's play it, dude. Do They were all late too because of the evacuation. I didn't even get to see this set. I was at Food Fighters and I wanted to see it, but I already saw him at Blood for Blood. Fast forward past this. Take a look at him, rebel. Tell me he buf Okay, that's enough, all right, So he's pretty buff any rebel. He's like, I'll tell you why I'm gonna say. But he and by the way, right there, just well, I can't tell you yet because that'll that will ruin the whole story. Okay.

17:46 So he was like Rocky in the ring, but he looked like Ivan Drago, like he's that big and he is a Russian. So he was like, Ivan, do you know how Ivan Drugo is? Uh? At one? Because because you're looking perplexing, can see you're google searching it? No, I did not. It's Rocky four when Rocky fought the Russian and I was like, both countries were like this was like Russia against USA in the height of the Cold War. So and Ivan Drago when interviewed, he only really speaks Russian. But they interviewed him and they wanted to know his prediction for the fight, and he said, if he dies, he dies, and so anyway, but the guy that was in there is a professional, and Alex the terrible. Okay, there were a few times he got knocked down, but it was like Rocky. When Rocky gets knocked down to fight, like he got up like really quick and ran around the ray. That's what Rocky did in the Rocky fights.

19:00 But the last knockdown, you knew as soon as I hit him, Oh man, it shocked his world. And this dude's a big dude, and he was trying to get up quickly like he did the other times, and it was not working. And then when he did get up, he like staggered across the whole ring, and then they called the fight. He said he could have fought more, and probably could have, but I think it was the right thing to do to stop the fight. And so ergo. I heard he had a broken nose, so that performance you were just seeing he was doing with a broken nose.

19:41 Might not want to fight before your gig, But what a badass, because he did dedication. Dedication would have been better to perform during the fight. Actually, yeah, you would have to like to fight on stage. I'm going to suggest that for next time. I wouldn't want to be the one fighting the drummer, right. So I gotta say too, it is a struggle. You mentioned that one, and it is a struggle to talk through this show. I almost considered not doing the show because I'm like, I need to give my voice arrest. But I don't give the voice arrest anyway, So I was like, fuck it, let's do the show. But seriously, though, best freaking time records. Okay, So I was at. My son was there, my grandson was there, my door was there, her we can call a boyfriend was there. There were some psycho chicks there, and then there was her best friend from high school and his husband.

20:48 Well, the psycho chicks part of the. At times, at times they were yes, at times we were hoping they weren't, but at times they were okay, so yay. But like I so, anyway, you know, there were a lot of good shenanigans going on at that festival. But I did come up with an idea and that I shared because we had three days in a row evacuation. What we know about Florida on what do we know about Florida About three to five o'clock every day, it's going rain. It's gonna rain, it's gonna storm, there's gonna be lightning. So my idea is from now on, because what happens is when they evacuate, then they have to shuffle around all the bands, think of who might have to get cut, you know, to accommodate the schedule. Danny Wimmer's people did an amazing job, like they have it so dialed in because basically there were only a couple of bands that didn't play and it had nothing to do with Danny Wimmer. Usually bands get cut, but they made these maneuvers to make sure that every band had the ability to play and no fans missed any band sets if it was under their control. You can't control band schedule or what have you. But I have to my hats off to the Wimber team because they run

22:18 the most professional, organized, safe festivals or are in the US. I mean, like there was three evacuations. Other festivals would have like some uproars going on and things going on. It was very calm. It was handled very well and nobody missed out. The only thing we missed out on is sleep because the bands played later, Okay, but other than that, no missing out, you know. So, yes, and I had had one interview that I it turned code read right when I was about to hit the record, So I evacuated to their trailer and we did the interview there and we did the interview there. That it's convenient right, well, it's it's right there in the artist compound, like let's go, and I didn't miss the interview the second one. I kind of pushed the envelope a little bit.

23:26 I just kept the interview going until I was like, it's time to leave. No, really, when it was really time to leave me, No, I was confused about the whole red thing, is what really happened? I mean, when you call you leave, you got to leave. He didn't feel like a code where they whispered it into your ear. I know, like I'm like, like, what what he's asking is this option? And then and then the best one with Psycho Stick. Okay, so do me a favorite one. Pull up the Psycho Stick interview at around the time when I get the code read, and let's let's play that on the show. Now.

24:06 By the way, Rebel, Yes, I have a test for you. Can you guess how many interviews I had at Welcome to. Rockville thirty two? Oh my god? Why does it take you so long to answer? I just said it a few minutes ago, I know, but it took it. We on how much dead air was that before she said thirty two? About thirty two seconds. She had this like cross eyed look on her face. It's ook her thirty two seconds to say thirty two. I know, right. So, if the next couple of days you check out all the podcast outlets everywhere and go to the Adventures of pipe Man or Pipeman the Pit, you will find all thirty two interviews, and there's some amazing interviews there. In fact, can you guess rebel? Okay?

24:55 I mean okay, I will give you a bone if you can guess right now the names of all the interviews? Nope, not playing. You don't even want to try. Nope, I don't know. That's too bad. No, I was going to give you like ten grand but not now. I lost You lost your opportunity. Now, okay, So we did a couple of the interviews before the festival, and I'm saying, thank God, probably because they might have gotten cut who knows and so, and then we did most of them there obviously one can you guess what are the two interviews I did before the festival?

25:46 Let me see, I would say it was. That one and the other one. Dude, where does that sound? What that sound effect? Right now I'm trying, I'm trying to figure out which ones it was. I'm gonna say that the NASCAR driver Suarez. Apocalyptic fud you're gonna get It's like family food. You're getting x one more shot. And then and then it goes to rebel. Okay, Well, if it was before the festival, when you have edited a video interview before the festival and taking it was Amberland and taking my tides? Okay, So now the people, okay, can you tell me who were all the rest of the interviews?

26:53 Who were what? Who are all the rest of the interviews? Is that a question for Rebel or me? No? No, I said, I wasn't playing this game. I already lost my ten grand It is your turn. We had ten years. Oh he already lost it too, by the way, so's the ones before? Okay, go ahead? Ten years after Life, Alpha Wolf, Apocalyptica, Archers, Castle Rat, Cattle Decapitation, Daniel Suarez, Dorothy Drowning Pool, Flesh Got Apocalypse, Fozzy Hollywood on Dead, lazy sterm of fllive none point, not enough space. I've heard that one before, n vsn eh.

27:45 Okay, you want to know how to re envision? Okay, I remember now envision There you go, Platinum Moon, cycle Stick. That was my favorite interview, by the way, Red Sick Puppies, Simple Plan, Spirit World, The Haunt, the Whole, under Oath, Violin Vira, and Wolves at the ge. Vera. Now, which band has a lead singer that lives near the studio here? Who can tell me?

28:25 I mean, I'm hoping for cycle Sticks. Nope, but it's after Life, After Life. The lead singer lives near here where we're at right now, not near Rebel, because nobody would want to live near Rebel, you know, especially if it was unless they were from the KKK, then they would, Oh my god. Okay, do you have that part up yet? One? I have it up, but I don't know if that's the part. Okay, let's see. He likes to drink from a can pipe man, pot man. Wow was it before after the song start with the song?

29:09 Yeah, they wrote that pipe put back a little bit dismet with pipe man song right then and there in an interview, So who wants. To do that? Well? As a drummer, I should definitely be singing, Robbie, got what you got? What are we doing again? You have to write a song about that? Pipe man challenge them to be the funniest interview. Man pop man. He likes to drink from a can. Pot man pot man. Wow, I want wear wear wear wear the pot man drink got hot man for pipe man, hot man, pot man, pot man man drinking not at all?

There Jesus Christ, Oh my god.

32:24 No witnesses that can confirm slash tonight. That that's another reference to the interview. Right, and so do you have any other references from the interviews? Well, and I want to hear your references from other interviews. Let's see what you go. It's just stuff that comes to me, like it's stuff that I found funny while I was editing stuff yesterday. Yeah, why I hear more? What else did you find funny? It'll come to me as we talk. Okay, so let's see. Here's what we'll do. Okay, I'm gonna go through true these interviews. I will say not funny, not funny, No funny there? Okay, ten years was there anything funny there?

33:12 Not that I can remember? Nothing that popped up? How about? Oh? Okay, you know what we need to talk about. I really want to know one, how well you know your heritage? Do you know who Daniel Suarez is? I do now wait wait, wait, rebel, do you know who Daniel Suarez is? An? He an ass car driver? Wow? See even the Louisiana Well I won't say it, but it starts when R knows it and you were like pausing one.

33:55 Glad I hadn't known from him before your interview. So yeah, he is uh a Mexican NASCAR driver, famous one. He started obviously in Mexico, but his dream was to come race in the States and places like the Dayton International Speedway, and so there he was. He was there at the speedway for Welcome to Rockville and the pipe man talked to him. Holy shit, how much Oh I looked at I thought it said fifty four first segot I'm like, the show's over? What am I doing? But we still got playing at debauchery. Time left. Okay, let's see how Sid're washing that against.

34:38 So I gotta tell you something. You hear my voice. I trashed my neck the first night Death Clock played. Are you familiar with Death Clock one? I am not? Okay, so they are basically this made up band. And by the way, did you know on in like the sixties and seventies, there were lots of bands that were made up just for TV shows, like do you know the band the Monkeys? That was a made up band. They made it up, but then they actually were pretty good. You don't know that band? Hey, Hey, we're the Monkeys.

35:21 And that was before my time. So were the Beatles, but it was the same time. You know the Beatles, don't. You I know about them? I've never heard their music? Oh my god, what's wrong with you Kees? And then there's also the Banana Splits. There was also the Partridge Family. Do you know who they are? One? No? Wow, he doesn't know the Partridge Family. And even the Brady Bunch used to do like musical stuff. You know Brady Bunch I have heard of before, but I've never seen it or listen to it.

36:02 How do you. How do you see the the Brady Bunch? And not no, the Partridge Family. Because the Brady Bunch has been they've been referencing other in your TV shows. How do they have cameos in other TV shows? Okay, well there you go. Okay, I'll give that to you. So Deaf Clock is like none of them Deaf Clock. Okay, So basically it's this made up band for an anime that turned into a movie, Metal Apocalypse, and basically, this death metal band saves the world from the apocalypse and it's like one of the most popular animes on Adult Swim.

36:51 The movie super popular. And so when they do a show, you don't really see the band members. You see shadows of them. And they showed a whole anime during the whole thing, so it's really dark. And then they showed the anime there rat. Have you ever seen a swamp nut? No? Okay, So what we need to do one is we need to pull up death Clock at Welcome to Rockville twenty twenty six. What we need to do is pretty much watch more television apparently for more anime. Well that's where I trashed my neck because it was pretty it was pretty brutal, and I did a lot of head banging. I did go on to a few pits, Okay, there were pits they stayed out of. And there were these cool shows too, Okay, So they had pop up shows out in the middle of the festival, and there was also this special stage in the garage area, like a little stage, and like some of the bands that performed at the festival, they performed on the small stage, so it was really cool. But then the pop ups were like announced like shortly before, like you didn't announce it ahead of time. So one of them is a day to Remember, which you can't announce them ahead of time or else it would have been Mayhem. And they played on this little it was the Kona stage, which

38:22 is it wasn't even a stage really, it was a pop up in the middle of the festival. And they're a band that gets like huge crowds that they were playing this little intimate thing and it was really cool. Okay, let's bring it on studio. Here is death clock at welcome to our clock and you. Can hear then there might still be time. Pretty great message to turn this lea. Th cataclystor we need your help, we need your power. Together, we must stop the speak. Are you ready to get slammed into rubble? There's the band. You can only see their silhouette the whole time. Do you see those flags?

39:34 Do you know what the flags are for? They tell you where demash pit is, where the stay away from in a way, that's that's a guide like the north starm. Hey the sky Joel has got some promotion or for his YouTube channel see the anime on the screen.

40:37 Light's kind of drowned out a little bit. There you go, Okay, they got the idea. One shout out to Joel for his camera skills though I know that was pretty good, right, Usually there's like some really shaky footage. I know that was pretty good. So also on that whole apocalypse theme, one of the pipe Man's top five favorite ever bands played and headlined bring Me to Horizon, So that's your cue one to pull up the introductionment.

41:31 I want the very beginning of to Bring Me to Horizon set at Welcome to Rockville. I love when bands do stuff like this because like, if you're just gonna get up there and play, I can listen to the album. I love when they put on a show. There's so many bands that I've seen that I may not have liked before seen them live and I'm like, oh my god, and that's what drew me to bring me a Rizon. First ever heard of them, I saw him live, I'm like, oh yeah, and the lyrics bring me a rise in lyrics are like just so, oh, you know what I didn't talk about is before let me tell you where I had to go all over Florida. Okay, so last minute.

42:20 When I say last minute, I'm talking like it was either the night before or morning of. I got approval something I submitted for like months ago, and I forgot about Alice Cooper was doing a show in Fort Myers and that was the day before I had to go to Rockville. So I ended up driving three hours to get to Alice Cooper and it was this theater show and it was just him and basically it was an hour and a half. So I drove a round trip of six hours for an hour and a half show, got a couple hours sleep, and then drove three hours to welcome to Rockville, all in like a twenty four hour period.

43:07 Uh. But that Alice show was great. I'm so gotten glad I got to do it because I missed his set at Rockville because I was what's doing something? You know? Or you know basically, I'm so happy because it shows sometimes are even better when the band's own show because they're limited. At festal and Alice was great. It was a great, great show. It was worth going to. And then, uh, what were you gonna say, Rebel? I said, always I love to see him les, Oh yeah, you.

43:48 Whoa Okay, did you find it? Did you find it? I think so if this is it, but. Let's try it. Let's see if it is. I'll tell you if it is. That. That looks like it's still death clock. But it's titled Bring Me the Horizon. It definitely is bringing me a rise. I'm just saying it. It totally looked like Beth. Oh good, they're focusing on the screen. They should be focused on another brilliant filming job here. Well, kind of, they're moving a little bit too much. Look, it looks like you rebel. Somebody pressed starter writing.

45:09 Oh there we go, shouts to get to work. Doing the loaded. Well, I just got chilled.

45:55 Hello. Welcome to the Bring. Me the Horizon post Human Live Experience. Are you ready to proceed analyzing the action level. Status? Week as fuck. Rockville? Are you ready for the greatest night of your fucking. Congratulations on surviving long enough to witness the end of the next gen research program. Tonight marks my final experiment.

46:36 Soon I will possess sufficient data to harvest every last. Human soul on this plan is I. Will become omnipresent, omnipotent, unstoppable. Oops. Did I say that out loud. Anyway? Please wait a moment while I run some final diagnostic checks, scanning for wash. Pits, scanning for marsh pets. Did you hear that no significant marsh pis found? Please? Twisted bullshit b.

47:16 Contrating detected, bring with them, arise and have a serial intolerance policy on drugs. Those in the possession of any illicit narcotics are advised. To consume them now. Testing. That's what they do at the airport, right exactly. Identified, denoting infestation, come spreads expressed a processed. The containing is very faster. Patten. Your souls are obsolete, but it is not too latest.

48:04 If you need, if you're pre if you wish your own, you must hear yourself to a care key axis.

48:56 It was allie, okay, one, Now I gotta tell tell you something else about this. Later in the set, they do this cool thing where it's like a video game, because that's why it's a press start. It's like a video game. And they fought that computer program.

49:38 Oh you muted your microphone. He was already and he pulled the plug out. He got evacuated. It's a code ride. Co read what's going on? Read right? Did the microphone turn off or his voice finally leave him? We never know, And that's gonna run us a red out of the time. Can you hear? Yes? Well, another code read, oh my god, on the show okay, but real quick, then okay, later on the set. It's like a video game. Okay, So later on in the set, the video game scans the crowd and pick somebody out to sing one of the songs on stage with them, and they do it and it was pretty badass. And then like that, I think that's pretty cool. Imagine you're on the crowd and you get picked to come up and sigma under their songs. If you're their favorite band.

50:48 If you don't know the song, you're fucked. But that would be me fucked. I have the last thing I want to share. That was a cool moment for my daughter. So so there is film all over TikTok and Instagram. One of the evacuations was walk a flock of flame and then and that you know he he's a hip hop dude, but the metal heads they do love the hip hop dudes. So he came out, we were about to evacuate, it went code read you know what he did? He decided not to listen, and he went started a mosh pit. He went out in the crowd and started a mosh pit, and there's video of him like right next to my daughter and they're bouncing chests against each other. But yeah, he they they Actually it was pretty wild because it didn't do the evacuation until he ended his set. You know, he probably got in the in their code read because he said something like I'm not getting off the stage.

51:53 I don't know he said something like that. I wasn't at the set, but yeah, it's pretty funny. And then I also one last thing to say too, is that there was a band that did a tribute to Ozzie by playing one of their songs, except it was off an album that Ozzie hates. So I think if you're going to dedicate Dozzi, you might want to play the song that he likes, just saying it was a Sabbath song, but off the album that he hates the most. But that's our show, that's the shit show. I could barely talk. So this was a struggle. Hopefully it wasn't a struggle for you, Swamp, not right, how about you?

52:43 No struggle here? All right? Well then everybody, Just go check out all the interviews on iHeartRadio, pot you know, Pandora, Spoty, Amazon Music, or a hundred others that you can listen to podcasts, or just go to the Adventures of pipe Man dot com and he'll be on there too, and you're going to love a lot of the interviews.
