0:04 Hi, you have done too here censure for see Wow for you young. This is the Pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe Man W four cy Radio. And I'm here with Evan Seinfeld from bio Hazard. What's up, baby? Nice? You're at fucking Bloodstock man? Yeah, we're back. Oh my god? Do you love this festival or what I have to say? Arguably my favorite festival of all. And I'm not just saying that because I'm here. I'm you know, Alan and VICKI are personal friends and they've always believed in Biohazard And you know, when we put the band back together after ten years and we didn't have any expectations, and when we got gracious invitations from festivals like Bloodstock, it's served as foundation cornerstones for our resurgence.
1:03 If you wish. Yeah. And besides that. They're like minded people who are interested in building community, and they've know. Alan has put his arm around my Mantorship Men's circle that I run globally. We have an app, it's Wolfpack dootmantorship dot com, and we have live meetings. It's a safe space for men to share what's heavy on your heart, what's going on in your head, and try to do something about the eighty percent suicide rate of men by giving men a safe place to be vulnerable and talk about shit we're embarrassed about and shit that you don't want to share with somebody else because you don't want them to think that you're weak or you're soft. You're not a real man. And this is like an antiquated idea of masculinity. But Alan, today at eight o'clock in the gallery, we're going to have a men's circle. Nice and maybe there's somebody here who's right at the edge of wanting to maybe end their life or just wanted to get their life on track. So they've supported my other ventures. And this morning we had a full metal workout.
2:08 I saw that that's really cool. Cool twenty something people, you know, doing push ups to Pantera and doing crunches to Metallica. It was pretty rad. I love it, man, And I love what you're saying too, because both you and I are old school, and yeah, you weren't supposed to be like that, but like we're human beings, man, and we need to have that place where it's okay to be a dude and still have feelings. Yes, and you know, men our role anxiety is to provide and protect right. But it doesn't mean we don't have feelings. It doesn't mean we don't need to share with somebody else what we're going through and what we find in our men's circle it's called circle of brotherhood.
2:52 Is that you know, let's just say, you're freaking out because you're getting divorced after twenty years and this is very for a man, this is very unsettling. We get very set in our ways. And I'll say, how many guys you have been through a divorce and fifteen guys raise their hand and they say, you think he's gonna do? Is he gonna be okay? And we get to learn from each other's experience, his strengths, failures, and we save time. We talk about time as our currency. It's really a mindset group. It's so cool. I love that because I'm also a motivational speaker, so I'm all into that. You know, positive stuff and you know being able to get to that up is how to keep a positive mental latitude and how to keep gasing your tank, to keep pushing forward, to suck every ounce out of this life that you got. Time is your currency. Don't waste it. Yep. And as we get older, like you and I, shit happens even more. Like my best bro that I went to gigs with in the early eighties, he's gone, and you know, fucking so many people in my life are gone, and there's nobody really you can talk to about that shit. And like you're supposed to like keep the stiff up or lip, but sometimes.
4:10 That needs supposed to do. That's not a real thing exactly. That's supposed to thing is something that's made up, you know. Oh, totally a million percent. And I agree with you about Bloodstock too, because like I do all the festivals in the US, Europe, UK and this one, like can I get here? I feel like I'm home with family. It's family, you know. It's funny because I'm also DJing the after party here nice, So I've been documenting the whole day as we go. It's been really cool. Well I'm looking forward to that and of course you guys are badass, and I'm glad you're still doing this after all these years. I'm old school fan from way back, and it's good to see bands still here and now like you, and at a place like this where everybody is excited to see you.
5:05 So thanks man, thanks for having me on the on the air. Bro Hey, thanks for being here at Bloodstock, and thanks for being on the Adventures of pipe Man.
