  • “Punk rock was always supposed to be real, you know.” 02:57
  • “If you guys aren't having fun making the music and playing it, what else do you have in this industry? That's the fun part.” 06:44
  • “Our contribution is hopefully you listen to our song for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, you are not thinking about something that's bothering you. That's exactly— if you come and tell us that, we're gonna be like, you got it. That was the intent.” 10:31

1
00:00:19.469 --> 00:00:21.510
This is the Pipe Man here on the Adventures of

2
00:00:21.530 --> 00:00:23.969
Pipe Man W4CY radio, and I'm here with..

3
00:00:24.350 --> 00:00:25.789
Sucker Punch!

4
00:00:26.589 --> 00:00:29.429
Don't sucker punch me, man. Watch out.

5
00:00:29.469 --> 00:00:29.829
We might.

6
00:00:29.929 --> 00:00:30.269
We might.

7
00:00:30.489 --> 00:00:32.509
I want to know how many times in the pit

8
00:00:32.570 --> 00:00:35.729
that actually happens. Like people take it seriously and they

9
00:00:35.770 --> 00:00:38.049
might be in the pit and sucker punch somebody. Nah,

10
00:00:38.109 --> 00:00:41.399
people give each other hugs. That's the way it should be. See,

11
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:43.280
that's the way it should be. That's the way it

12
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:48.179
always is. That's what people don't understand about punk, metal,

13
00:00:48.539 --> 00:00:52.579
mosh pits. We're not about hurting and maiming people. You know,

14
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:56.070
funny story. I had to cover two festivals one weekend

15
00:00:56.549 --> 00:00:59.579
and one of them I sent this girl that worked

16
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:01.579
for me because I couldn't be there. She was a

17
00:01:01.649 --> 00:01:04.290
country girl, never went to a rock show in her life.

18
00:01:04.730 --> 00:01:05.489
I'm like, listen.

19
00:01:06.329 --> 00:01:08.329
She was all scared. I'm like, listen.

20
00:01:08.349 --> 00:01:08.989
Expecting the worst.

21
00:01:09.109 --> 00:01:13.739
We're like this big family. Pick people up when they

22
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.219
fall down. Hug at the end of the pit.

23
00:01:16.700 --> 00:01:17.640
You know?

24
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.079
And you're probably going to meet a bunch of new friends.

25
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:24.799
You'll probably get a boyfriend. We're not like those shows

26
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.079
you go to with a bunch of rednecks drinking Jack

27
00:01:28.099 --> 00:01:29.959
Daniels and getting into fist fights.

28
00:01:29.980 --> 00:01:31.420
And you might leave with a different shirt.

29
00:01:32.390 --> 00:01:35.010
Exactly. More than once.

30
00:01:36.469 --> 00:01:38.450
So she came back after the end of the weekend.

31
00:01:38.469 --> 00:01:41.420
She's like, oh my god, you were so right. I...

32
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.519
I made all these new friends. Everybody was so nice.

33
00:01:44.900 --> 00:01:48.459
I teabagged some guy and he's my boyfriend now. And

34
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.840
I have this new favorite band. I don't know if

35
00:01:51.859 --> 00:01:54.540
you know them. They're called Bring Me to Horizon. I'm like, yeah,

36
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:55.359
I think I know.

37
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:55.780
Who they are.

38
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:58.500
Hell yeah. Dude, that's crazy.

39
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.939
So another recruit to our family to find out that

40
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.810
we're just all a bunch of big teddy bears that

41
00:02:05.890 --> 00:02:08.770
get all our shit out in the pit and in

42
00:02:08.810 --> 00:02:12.479
the music so we aren't doing anything in the real

43
00:02:12.539 --> 00:02:14.120
world except loving everybody.

44
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.080
I think a lot of people are like joining this

45
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:17.900
party too. Cause I think a lot of people are,

46
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.509
are kind of like seeing all that AI slot that's

47
00:02:20.550 --> 00:02:23.710
being thrown out. And like anything that sounds too polished is, is,

48
00:02:23.810 --> 00:02:26.389
is maybe getting a bit of a different view than

49
00:02:26.409 --> 00:02:28.330
it has been in the past. And like, people are

50
00:02:28.349 --> 00:02:31.439
like craving, uh, the, the big guitars, the, the, the

51
00:02:31.509 --> 00:02:35.300
rawness of rock and roll, the real, the real musicianship

52
00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:35.719
and stuff.

53
00:02:35.740 --> 00:02:37.620
So it's like, I think we're coming back.

54
00:02:37.740 --> 00:02:40.560
And I think, uh, friends like the person you just

55
00:02:40.580 --> 00:02:42.259
described are, we're going to start having more and more

56
00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:42.539
of them.

57
00:02:42.819 --> 00:02:44.139
Yeah, and you know, it's true.

58
00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:47.120
Even my engineer, when he edits the interviews, I tell him,

59
00:02:47.189 --> 00:02:49.569
I'm like, don't take my ums and uhs out. I

60
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:53.169
don't want it polished. I want it real, you know? Like,

61
00:02:54.189 --> 00:02:56.409
we got too much of that filter shit and all

62
00:02:56.469 --> 00:02:59.469
that bullshit. Punk rock was always supposed to be real,

63
00:03:00.370 --> 00:03:03.849
you know? And so, I also have to say, you're

64
00:03:03.870 --> 00:03:06.750
wearing a Jeep shirt. I own a Jeep Moab.

65
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.340
You're the second interviewer who told me this.

66
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:10.180
Really?

67
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.259
I had a Jeep. I had a lease on a

68
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:13.080
Jeep and I just.

69
00:03:12.939 --> 00:03:16.990
Gave it away like 10 days ago.

70
00:03:17.349 --> 00:03:18.330
So I'm still mourning.

71
00:03:18.349 --> 00:03:21.569
Yeah, you need to get another one. Because I'll tell

72
00:03:21.590 --> 00:03:24.159
you what. I was always like a sports car dude.

73
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:25.719
I love my Jeep.

74
00:03:26.689 --> 00:03:28.870
Did you receive ducks in your Jeep?

75
00:03:28.990 --> 00:03:30.370
I got lots of them. Yeah.

76
00:03:30.689 --> 00:03:35.129
Because I have this special edition Moab. It's lime green,

77
00:03:35.650 --> 00:03:40.669
big mudder tires, not customized, stock like that.

78
00:03:41.210 --> 00:03:43.460
And so, yeah, I get that shit all the time.

79
00:03:43.819 --> 00:03:46.360
In fact, even I have a brother who's like really

80
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:50.360
judgy and only drives his BMW. When I got this vehicle,

81
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.419
he goes, if you can't get laid with that vehicle,

82
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:54.800
I don't know what to do.

83
00:03:56.889 --> 00:03:57.629
So punk rock.

84
00:03:57.849 --> 00:04:01.469
And did you get laid in the Jeep?

85
00:04:01.830 --> 00:04:06.090
I cannot confirm nor deny.

86
00:04:06.289 --> 00:04:09.030
And it might have been at a music festival, just saying.

87
00:04:09.550 --> 00:04:10.750
It might have been 20 minutes ago.

88
00:04:10.770 --> 00:04:19.000
That's why I was late for the interview. So tell

89
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.040
us how this all happened. How did you all connect

90
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:24.439
to sucker punch us here.

91
00:04:24.339 --> 00:04:25.100
At Warped Tour?

92
00:04:26.110 --> 00:04:29.129
Um, most of us knew each other from a previous band.

93
00:04:29.170 --> 00:04:31.389
We've just, you know, been in bands in Montreal for

94
00:04:31.410 --> 00:04:36.149
a while and we kind of just like gave up on, uh,

95
00:04:36.269 --> 00:04:39.829
making this thing happen. We were just like, whatever pandemic

96
00:04:39.850 --> 00:04:43.029
rolled around. We're like, let's throw some riffs around. And

97
00:04:43.069 --> 00:04:45.600
we just started the actual band that we wanted to

98
00:04:45.629 --> 00:04:48.800
be in, uh, from like, since we were 16 years

99
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:52.139
old and that, uh, turned into sucker punch. We just

100
00:04:52.180 --> 00:04:55.819
like landed on Fred or singer, um, Out of the blue,

101
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.759
we recruited a drummer, Alain, who said no to us twice.

102
00:04:59.459 --> 00:05:02.610
Before he joined the band. Do you regret it? No.

103
00:05:03.170 --> 00:05:06.370
And we just did something genuine that we wanted to hear.

104
00:05:07.350 --> 00:05:09.629
And I think people started connecting because that's what's fun

105
00:05:09.649 --> 00:05:12.310
about alt music is when it's genuine and no one's

106
00:05:12.389 --> 00:05:13.610
trying to do something.

107
00:05:13.350 --> 00:05:14.149
To sell a product.

108
00:05:14.329 --> 00:05:16.529
I say it all the time. The people that set

109
00:05:16.589 --> 00:05:19.269
out to be rock stars are the ones that don't

110
00:05:19.329 --> 00:05:19.850
become them.

111
00:05:19.970 --> 00:05:20.740
The icons..

112
00:05:22.889 --> 00:05:24.930
They never wanted to be rock stars, they just wanted

113
00:05:24.949 --> 00:05:25.769
to be musicians.

114
00:05:25.910 --> 00:05:28.410
Yeah, and they set trends by doing what they think

115
00:05:28.449 --> 00:05:28.810
is cool.

116
00:05:29.170 --> 00:05:29.629
Exactly.

117
00:05:29.689 --> 00:05:31.790
Like, the way I look at it is, you're never

118
00:05:31.829 --> 00:05:34.269
going to please everybody, so just please yourself and you'll

119
00:05:34.290 --> 00:05:35.230
attract your tribe.

120
00:05:35.769 --> 00:05:37.430
You know, make your own music.

121
00:05:37.750 --> 00:05:41.240
You don't make music for people because those people like it,

122
00:05:41.269 --> 00:05:42.720
these people not like it.

123
00:05:42.980 --> 00:05:45.790
And if it's not you, then why play it?

124
00:05:46.379 --> 00:05:49.360
I think it's one of the reasons our previous bands

125
00:05:49.379 --> 00:05:53.000
didn't work because... We were like, oh, the industry likes that,

126
00:05:53.060 --> 00:05:53.959
like this, blah, blah, blah.

127
00:05:54.180 --> 00:05:55.500
Well, like, when you're in a room and you're, like,

128
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:57.879
you're writing lyrics and you're like, what will people think

129
00:05:57.899 --> 00:06:01.199
of this? You're, like, you're already starting off with, like,

130
00:06:01.339 --> 00:06:02.060
One Strike, you know?

131
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:03.060
Exactly.

132
00:06:03.259 --> 00:06:05.370
It's more so, what do I want to say? What

133
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:07.089
do I want to sing about? What do we want

134
00:06:07.110 --> 00:06:09.129
to play about? What do we want to do?

135
00:06:09.850 --> 00:06:11.110
I think this is the most important thing.

136
00:06:11.129 --> 00:06:13.589
It's, like, the messages that we want to, like, send

137
00:06:13.610 --> 00:06:16.230
across is something that's important to us and that's dear

138
00:06:16.269 --> 00:06:16.769
to us, you know?

139
00:06:17.430 --> 00:06:19.610
I was watching an interview with this band, Knock Loose.

140
00:06:19.949 --> 00:06:21.870
Oh, yeah, I know them. They're super heavy, right? Yeah, yeah.

141
00:06:22.050 --> 00:06:25.720
And they were saying, in the studio, if somebody plays

142
00:06:25.779 --> 00:06:28.860
a riff and it makes the other band member laugh

143
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.220
because it's so filthy, that goes on the album.

144
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:32.550
Nice.

145
00:06:32.579 --> 00:06:34.290
So it's like, that's the vibe, right?

146
00:06:34.310 --> 00:06:37.889
And for us as well, when we come to lyrics

147
00:06:37.930 --> 00:06:40.649
that we're like, that is so cheeky that we know

148
00:06:40.850 --> 00:06:42.230
we've landed on something, you know? Yeah.

149
00:06:42.500 --> 00:06:43.060
I love that.

150
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:43.399
Yeah.

151
00:06:43.459 --> 00:06:44.350
That's the way it should be.

152
00:06:44.370 --> 00:06:46.790
Cause listen, if you guys aren't having fun making the

153
00:06:46.829 --> 00:06:50.149
music and playing it, what else do you have in

154
00:06:50.189 --> 00:06:50.930
this industry?

155
00:06:50.970 --> 00:06:52.209
That's the fun part.

156
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:52.600
Yeah.

157
00:06:52.629 --> 00:06:54.399
Like people don't, I talk about it all the time.

158
00:06:54.740 --> 00:06:59.529
People don't realize like tour life. It's maybe one hour

159
00:06:59.550 --> 00:07:01.209
in a day that you're having fun.

160
00:07:01.310 --> 00:07:04.680
Yeah, 100%. Might as well have fun for real. Exactly.

161
00:07:04.699 --> 00:07:06.360
Might as well make the most of it.

162
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:07.500
Exactly.

163
00:07:07.579 --> 00:07:10.879
We travel, we go through hardship to play these shows

164
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.750
and to enjoy our time as a band together on stage.

165
00:07:13.790 --> 00:07:15.430
So yeah, it should be fun.

166
00:07:15.829 --> 00:07:17.689
And do it with people that you enjoy doing it with.

167
00:07:17.889 --> 00:07:21.639
We're all real friends. And I think it shows on stage.

168
00:07:21.660 --> 00:07:23.500
I think a lot of people have told us, like,

169
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:25.819
you guys look like you're having fun. I'm having fun

170
00:07:25.860 --> 00:07:28.490
because he's next to me and he's hyping me up,

171
00:07:28.589 --> 00:07:29.189
you know?

172
00:07:29.490 --> 00:07:38.290
I'm not having fun. Well, you're out. No, he's right.

173
00:07:38.769 --> 00:07:41.000
When we're on stage, we're not only playing a show.

174
00:07:41.019 --> 00:07:45.060
We just party with the crowd and everything. People like

175
00:07:45.620 --> 00:07:47.839
to see us having fun with each other.

176
00:07:47.860 --> 00:07:49.699
No doubt. That sounded sexual.

177
00:07:51.620 --> 00:07:55.980
Well, that could happen too.

178
00:07:56.620 --> 00:07:57.220
That's funny.

179
00:07:57.579 --> 00:08:01.399
So our latest EP is called Worst Party Ever. It's

180
00:08:01.500 --> 00:08:04.319
a photo of Fred getting a cake in the face.

181
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:09.029
And then as a revenge, he's been shoving a cream

182
00:08:09.069 --> 00:08:11.470
in her face at the end of her sets. So

183
00:08:11.550 --> 00:08:15.569
he's saying, cream ourselves. We call it creaming ourselves. Cream

184
00:08:15.610 --> 00:08:16.290
my bandmates.

185
00:08:16.769 --> 00:08:18.910
See, that's the way it should be.

186
00:08:20.589 --> 00:08:23.790
That's part of what makes it fun for us, too.

187
00:08:23.850 --> 00:08:25.970
If you're not having fun, how are we having fun?

188
00:08:27.740 --> 00:08:31.779
We're creating all these stuff around each other with Sucker Punch.

189
00:08:33.299 --> 00:08:36.210
It's part of our identity, what we are as a person.

190
00:08:36.230 --> 00:08:37.309
We love to prank each other.

191
00:08:37.330 --> 00:08:40.090
We love to laugh. We love to be fun and dumb.

192
00:08:40.250 --> 00:08:41.179
So might as well, you know..

193
00:08:42.169 --> 00:08:44.350
Do it while we're on stage and do it with

194
00:08:44.830 --> 00:08:46.580
the crowd, with people that are watching us.

195
00:08:46.750 --> 00:08:47.340
Hey, listen.

196
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:51.539
I would rather a band have fun being called Sucker

197
00:08:51.580 --> 00:08:56.759
Punch than a band that recently one of the members

198
00:08:56.899 --> 00:09:07.460
sucker punched the other member live on stage. Oh, we

199
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:09.080
all broke character on that one.

200
00:09:09.549 --> 00:09:14.070
I think that pop punk in itself, too, the roots

201
00:09:14.110 --> 00:09:17.049
of pop punk are fun. You can play pop punk

202
00:09:17.110 --> 00:09:20.029
if you're, like, every band that plays that style of

203
00:09:20.070 --> 00:09:20.799
music is.

204
00:09:20.750 --> 00:09:22.200
Fun, no?

205
00:09:22.220 --> 00:09:25.480
You can't take yourself too seriously when you're playing three

206
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:28.240
power chords and singing.

207
00:09:27.820 --> 00:09:30.019
About the things that we sing about, so, yeah.

208
00:09:30.139 --> 00:09:34.679
Well, you know what's funny about that is, like, Okay,

209
00:09:34.700 --> 00:09:38.940
so years ago, with all the gatekeeping, you know, the

210
00:09:39.019 --> 00:09:41.519
old school, and I like the old school punk music,

211
00:09:41.779 --> 00:09:46.259
but the old school punk attitude was ridiculous.

212
00:09:46.299 --> 00:09:48.809
We grew up in an, I remember growing up in

213
00:09:48.850 --> 00:09:51.129
an age where it's like, you like Simple Plan? Like,

214
00:09:51.429 --> 00:09:53.929
you don't tell people, you listen to that in secret

215
00:09:54.230 --> 00:09:55.049
in your bedroom.

216
00:09:55.230 --> 00:09:55.490
Right.

217
00:09:55.509 --> 00:09:58.490
It's funny because those people nowadays are coming to the

218
00:09:58.509 --> 00:09:59.809
Warped Tours and they're like, oh my.

219
00:09:59.789 --> 00:10:00.710
God, Simple Plan's playing.

220
00:10:00.750 --> 00:10:03.970
I listened to them in my bedroom when I was young.

221
00:10:04.470 --> 00:10:05.970
It's cool.

222
00:10:06.529 --> 00:10:08.909
I get why it was like that before, but I

223
00:10:08.929 --> 00:10:13.700
think as a society we're evolving. It's being accepting. What's

224
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:15.179
more punk rock than accepting people?

225
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:19.429
Like you said, pop punk is fun Don't take yourself

226
00:10:19.450 --> 00:10:23.210
so seriously. You take these old school punk bands. They

227
00:10:23.250 --> 00:10:25.269
started a punk band because they didn't know how to

228
00:10:25.350 --> 00:10:29.429
play the instruments. So why are you taking yourself so seriously?

229
00:10:29.460 --> 00:10:31.039
You don't even know how to fucking play yet.

230
00:10:31.299 --> 00:10:34.840
There's so much serious shit in the world. Our contribution

231
00:10:35.059 --> 00:10:37.419
is hopefully you listen to our song for 2 minutes

232
00:10:37.460 --> 00:10:40.779
and 30 seconds. you're not thinking about something that's bothering you.

233
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:41.580
Exactly.

234
00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:43.320
If you come and tell us that, we're going to

235
00:10:43.340 --> 00:10:45.700
be like, you got it. That was the intent.

236
00:10:45.740 --> 00:10:46.629
That's what we were trying to do.

237
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.659
This here is our escape from all the bullshit in

238
00:10:50.730 --> 00:10:53.929
the world. There's enough seriousness out there. We don't need

239
00:10:53.970 --> 00:10:54.210
it here.

240
00:10:54.289 --> 00:10:54.629
Exactly.

241
00:10:54.649 --> 00:10:57.429
That's why when we do shows, when we do live shows,

242
00:10:57.450 --> 00:11:00.169
that's our motto. It's like you're here to not think.

243
00:11:00.509 --> 00:11:03.470
You're here to have fun, jump around, dance with your buddies,

244
00:11:03.970 --> 00:11:04.950
and have a good time.

245
00:11:05.590 --> 00:11:06.039
No doubt.

246
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:07.490
Musical lobotomy.

247
00:11:08.389 --> 00:11:12.590
Exactly. I love that. That should be your next new song.

248
00:11:14.210 --> 00:11:17.529
Try to rhyme lobotomy. I guess it rhymes in E.

249
00:11:17.570 --> 00:11:19.809
Lobotomy on top of me.

250
00:11:20.149 --> 00:11:25.649
That sounds like a different kind of song.

251
00:11:25.690 --> 00:11:28.320
That might not be pop punk. That might be porn punk.

252
00:11:30.100 --> 00:11:32.120
Let's start a new genre, porn punk.

253
00:11:32.379 --> 00:11:33.379
I don't think we're hot enough for that.

254
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.419
I mean, depends who.

255
00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:40.519
Except for this Adonis.

256
00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:42.120
And what punk rocker is?

257
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:43.360
Hot.

258
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:44.639
Hot enough for that?

259
00:11:45.620 --> 00:11:53.649
We're ranking punk rockers based off hotness. Blind ranking. Go. Oh, man.

260
00:11:53.990 --> 00:11:56.889
So, see, this is the kind of stuff that makes

261
00:11:57.590 --> 00:12:00.720
Warped Tour great. Makes it great for all of us

262
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.919
and music the best therapy ever. So, I do thank

263
00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:05.539
you guys for giving us some great therapy.

264
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:06.159
Thanks for having us.

265
00:12:06.220 --> 00:12:09.250
It was super fun. Yeah, thank you very much. Just

266
00:12:09.350 --> 00:12:11.250
being here is already surreal.

267
00:12:11.549 --> 00:12:13.970
And, like, talking with you today is just out of

268
00:12:14.009 --> 00:12:14.389
this world.

269
00:12:14.409 --> 00:12:15.730
Because, like, we're just people.

270
00:12:15.750 --> 00:12:16.289
Exactly.

271
00:12:16.330 --> 00:12:18.590
Everyone here is just, like, we're just people and doing

272
00:12:18.610 --> 00:12:19.070
what we love.

273
00:12:19.350 --> 00:12:21.990
And it doesn't matter where you are in the world. Like,

274
00:12:22.029 --> 00:12:24.629
that's what I find. I do festivals all over the world.

275
00:12:24.730 --> 00:12:25.129
And, like..

276
00:12:27.750 --> 00:12:31.309
We're all the same at all these festivals. The world

277
00:12:31.370 --> 00:12:34.470
can learn a thing or two from us.

278
00:12:35.110 --> 00:12:39.029
Meeting like-minded individuals and vibing, whether it be for 30

279
00:12:39.029 --> 00:12:42.360
seconds when you just say hi to someone or five

280
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:46.460
hours if you have the craziest conversation, it's fun. Like

281
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:49.039
I said, every time I meet somebody at this festival

282
00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:52.720
or any festival of alternative music, it's always good people.

283
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:53.539
Exactly.

284
00:12:53.580 --> 00:12:57.460
We're one big family, one big community, and You are

285
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:00.000
a part of it, even though you tried to sucker

286
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:00.440
punch me.

287
00:13:01.940 --> 00:13:08.519
Sucker punch in 3, 2, 1.

288
00:13:11.389 --> 00:13:13.110
Thanks for being on the Adventures of Pipe.

289
00:13:12.950 --> 00:13:13.409
Man, guys.

290
00:13:13.610 --> 00:13:15.389
Thank you for having us. It's a pleasure for us.

291
00:13:15.690 --> 00:13:17.830
Pleasure is all mine, and thanks for being here at

292
00:13:17.870 --> 00:13:23.169
Warped Tour. You should try the poutine in Quebec. Oh,

293
00:13:23.889 --> 00:13:27.940
she'll tell you. She got some.

294
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:30.440
Oh, you're lactose intolerant?

295
00:13:31.059 --> 00:13:33.159
No, it's just I don't like cheese. That's fine.

296
00:13:33.220 --> 00:13:34.700
I don't like cheese except on poutine.

297
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:40.419
Except mozzarella and ricotta because I'm Italian. But she said

298
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:42.929
she had food in the room and she's like, have

299
00:13:42.970 --> 00:13:45.509
whatever you want, but the poutine sucks, so don't eat that.

300
00:13:45.549 --> 00:13:45.950
Don't get it here.

301
00:13:46.730 --> 00:13:52.769
She's a poutine Nazi She's a Nazi She wants the

302
00:13:52.870 --> 00:13:56.519
good shit And apparently whatever she got Was not the

303
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.299
good shit So I wasn't going to taste it Because

304
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:01.639
I want my first impression to be good.

305
00:14:01.580 --> 00:14:05.120
Yeah, real poutine Needs to come from the right restaurants

306
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:05.600
You don't.

307
00:14:05.470 --> 00:14:08.970
Go to fast foods Said the vegan Yes. I don't

308
00:14:09.009 --> 00:14:12.330
eat poutine. I haven't eaten a poutine in like 10 years.

309
00:14:12.649 --> 00:14:14.909
From what I recall, 10 years, a decade ago. I

310
00:14:14.970 --> 00:14:17.529
ate a vegan poutine. It was good. It was good.

311
00:14:17.789 --> 00:14:18.950
I'm not going to lie. I liked it.

312
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:20.240
Well, there you go.

313
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:20.940
Yeah.

314
00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:24.200
Okay, so there it is. Sucker Punch and poutine. That's

315
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:24.840
all you need.

316
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:26.299
