And I'm here with Beauty School drop Out. I'm Bepis, I'm Cooley Bardo. See. I love that. That's why I always do it that way instead of me saying yeah the name, then I always get cool ship like that chaos. Yeah, he knows two phrases. I'm Bardo and I love it. It's like, Uh, I have a shirt that says I am metal has a what's his name on it? Fuck, I can't believe I'm drawing a blank. It's been a long night. But Rob Zombie, no Guardian's a galaxy. Oh yeah, there you go. I can't believe I was drawing a blank.

1:37 Then I was like, we didn't want to say because I don't want look stupid. But yeah, it's pretty cool. It has groot on there and says, I am metal. His body kind of looks like metal font. I know, right, he would be great for like a death metal you know logo. Yeah, I agree. Name every rock ever sounds like a metal band. I know. I'm surprised nobody's done that yet. Out we'll do it. There you go, side project, There you go. That's it. You know what you could do is that could be your name you go under when you're doing like these secret shows. Oh yeah, you know, I love we love that. Green Day had that does that a lot. They always play like random bars and stuff like, Yeah, they're a different name Metallica does in the Bay Area before they're about to go on tour.

2:21 It'll play like some club randomly. Fighters doesn't just as food Fighters though, right, yeah, pull up to like like bowling alleys, I know, right, And Metallica does it as a Metallica. But here's a funny one. So I'm in South Florida and this girl is dating She calls me up one time. There's this place in Fort Lauerdeale called Cheers, and they have like punk rock karaoke. They call it scaryoke. That's far right, And so she's outside and she goes she didn't go in yet. She's like, oh my god, there's this like really good Iron Man cover band playing. I'm like, well, that's cool. She goes inside. She calls me. She's like, holy shit, it's Iron Maiden and like this play. Okay, it's about as small a dive bar as you can get.

3:04 Like I mean, so that's pretty wild. That's so cool. I can't wait to do shit like that, to play like a hundred cap when we're playing like ten thousand caps, Like to ask you a question, Yes, where'd you get your name? Pipe man? Okay? So pipe that's a pot that's such a popular not only question but response. Like almost every band says that it's iconic. It's pretty iconic. Well, I love that thing. So it actually comes from My last name is Piper, and somebody just gave me that name like a long time ago. It went away and then when I got into radio, I brought it back. It's perfect for pipe man, right, piped. See, yeah, we can do your intro.

3:46 Finish Well, that's how you should finish too, but that's also how you should finish interviews. Yeah, there you go, you piped. That's how you should finish anything. That's actually a good idea. May over your head sweat beating. You're like, oh, you man, could you just call us your creative directors from now on? Yeah, I think you are. I gotta like put that out there. When I put this interview out there, I'm gonna put by my new creative directors. Yeah, beauty school drop and not not a band beau school drop out. That's our that's our LLC. That's your side job. This is where the real money is at, right, creative direction. I love and speak a creativity. Look at your tattoos, like you have board than any of any of these, sharpie.

4:30 Yeah, that would's morning. That would be funny, right, that would be funny. Right, That's what I do. As a kid, I was obsessed with Billy your armstrong as I'd make my dad draw his tattoos on me. Nice. I did that to look like post moone once. Really Yeah? Yeah, Halloween. Now that one almost looks like a chess piece, but it's a chess piece and a unicorn put together. Hey look at that. I got it. He is Bardo the unicorn. That is what we call him. Bar And who said you and corns aren't real? There we go yeah, he's a real unicorn. Yep, real horns. Nice part of the horny unicorn. What's your favorite tattoo? My favorite tattoo.

5:13 I got these snakes on my chest. I just got that. Oh that's pretty badass, and with the heart in the middle with the eye like that all goes together so well, eventually it'll all just be one big tattoo. Yeah right, my birthday suit. How about Okay, since you have so many, I'm gonna ask you a different question. Cool, which one do you look at? Go? Man? Was I fucking stupid doing that one? Oh? My hand? Yeah? Yeah, Honestly it's my fault, though it was an incredible tattoo. Urst that did it. I'm gonna respect him, and I say his name because I'm gonna get it removed. But he's an amazing tattoo. Ars. I had a bad choice of what I got, and I also got it super infected, so I'm gonna get that. But every other tattoo I'm okay with. So what made that one more like more susceptible to gain than infected? The hand that does it?

6:04 I mean, yes, but also ten minutes after somebody, ten minutes after I got it, I was high fiving people with the back of my hand. Oh, I was just being an idiot. And then I went to a rave and it was like an Emo rave and there was everyone was wearing spikes on their clothes and it got sliced open. Oh like two days after I got it. I was using scented soap. I was not using sent a soap. I know better than that. We're unhinged back then, I remember I used to be more unhinged. You should have been wearing like a Michael Jackson glove. Yeah, the single glove just like right for a while, but he was weighing on the other hand. Yeah, sale studied clove. They really roasted me for the single study glove. Did you hit anybody with it? N? I should have to. I can't. Did the one? Is? What does it for me? You need to? Yeah?

6:46 But I can't play with one on my left hand, you know, like wearing a Power Rangers outfit without the mask, which would still be sick. You're wrong, but yeah, crotch those Power Rangers outfit. Any kind of glove to play that would be not fun. Yeah, I can do it on my right hand. My left hand it feels weird and are you lefty or righting? I'm alrighty. My fret board hand I can't have a glove on it. Oh that's a shame both of his hands though. That's true and Cole can confirm. So you know what, we should talk about your music. Let's do it. I love that, you know that's right. We're at a music festival and we're in a band. Oh you're a band. Oh after Shock, which is super cool. This is the coolest freaking festival. Like I do a lot of them, and I love this festival, just a whole vibe of shouts out after Shock. Been coming here for years. Literally, I would meet my dad here every year and we would go and get fucked up and watching metal bands is awesome. Seeing that now you're playing here and watch me and his dad's coming nice. How pumped is he? This kid is playing at after Shot? Exhilarated? I think he's probably super excited. Granted he comes to a lot of our shows, so it's nothing new, but the fact that it's here and it's full circle, it's probably really juiced. Will be in the pit. He'd better be very better. He'll get disowned. Actually, I have a cool segue for this. So we're going on tour. We leave on October fourteenth, right, and we're doing for US tour, and we decided that we're gonna bring our dads out nice because they all obviously they're huge fans and they're huge supporters.

8:22 So we're like, we need some help driving, and they were like down. So we have one of our dads coming out at a time to help us drive, be a part of the experience. It's gonna be sick. It will probably be one of the few tours we actually gonna bring our dads on. We're like one of the last opportunities for this. So we're like, guys, that is way cool. You know what else, it's cool like your generation actually can do that. Like my generation, my dad listened like Frank Sinatra. There was no way he was going pay metal or punk show or anything even close to that. They're super supportive that, to be honest, I think like each of them individually shaped. Our music tastes pretty heavily, so it makes sense. Also, I don't know, I mean, I think the same for the other guys. But my dad always joked about driving the tour bus for us someday. Nice, So now I'm like, okay, cool, I'm rewarding you with that as you have asked for it. Like they've all joked about this forever. They're like, come on, bring us on tour, and then when we actually call them out, they're like, oh shit, now we gotta go. I know, right, And our dads are cool, which is great, Like my dad's bear band is Green Day. I love it. See, I love hearing the squad. We call them the Delf squad? Nice And why do you call them that because there are a bunch of dilfts, not oh well, there you go, there you go delicious. So do they get all the groupies, all your groupies? Oh not allowed. We don't know no groups.

9:39 We don't even allow ourselves have groupies. We're settlement that. You know what, That's probably the smartest thing as a band you could ever do, because thank you, look at history, what has always fucked up? Exactly? We're gonna get Yoko right, No, I want to get Yoko. Oh yes, Yoko Oha reversed. So what's the craziest shit that's happened in your musical journey? I think going on to a blanky two and playing Massive Square Garden exactly, two years from our first show ever. Wow, Yeah, Madison Square Garden. If you're gonna play anywhere, that's the place.

10:20 Crazy man. That was also stressful as all fuck, but it was really fun. It was really crazy too because like basically we started touring a year ago and we went from we did our headline tour, which was like three hundred caps, then we went to fifteen hundred caps to twenty thousand caps in a matter of six months. What's your secret? Uh, being nice? Look at that and just loving what you do. I think passion perseveres. Oh groupies, no groupies, no groupies whatsoever. Yeah, that was a good rule. And I passion as like my biggest word because in this business, why would you be in this business this unless you had a passion for it and loved it, because otherwise it would suck. I think you can't fail if you don't give up. That's true. Absolutely, that's a that's a that's a verbal bomb. And you know, I'm a motivational from someone from Twitter somewhere said that. I don't know I've heard it before because there it is. No Drake is not that woke. And I'm also a motivational speaker. So I like that ship that should be it's all you. That should be like your slogan. Yeah, you can't fail if you don't give up. It's so good. Yeah, do you have a song like that, because that should be maybe your next song that's it'd be very positive lane for us. I don't think we have anything that positive in our music.

11:43 See. See you could freak people out though, because like how many songs are ner that they sound angry and they sound like they're angst and they're really not. Yeah, like you think it's some of the Blink songs, they're kind of like motivational. Sometimes a lot of like metal bands, I feel like, write songs about love and whatever stuff. Yeah, kind of like Local Meg it's screaming data remember is really good at that? Larryalid, The Wiggles Crazy one nice. Oh yeah, we want to do a cover of fruit slid by the Wiggles, do it? Do it? We think it would go hard. That one has some mixed messaging, bro, there's some metaphors in that one. Fruit salad, yummy, yummy. So how does everybody reach out to you guys on socials on the web, by your merch out the tour days Slide into our dms on Instagram at BSD dot wave that's w a V.

My birthday is October eleventh, mine's October sixteenth. Look at that, Libras ear saying to you, brother, that's our gift to you. There you go. Hey, listen, there's coming nobody better than Libras, right, We're the best. You know. It's

13:15 not even like a debate, No, not at all. Most people are great, and especially when comes to creative shit, because libras are always like the creatives. Yeah, I would say that I'm the mastermind behind the band. I'd just like to follow suit as much as possible. Nice. You should see him in his skin suit. Uh oh are you gonna wear that on stage? Yeah? He wears his birthday suit, the skin suit I tried to. I came in. I came actually like in it this morning, but they wouldn't let me into the festival grounds until I took me. You could go like Jim Morrison, man, Yeah, see, did you ever have so much fun in an interview? These are usually fucking boring. This was the most fun interview we've had in a long time. See, I love hearing that because like, they're usually fucking boring. I said, listen, sometimes I'm like, if I was on the other end, I'd be like I would just probably walk away. I'd be so bored to tears.

14:03 I do have to say, if I get asked one more time how we got our band name, which I know we'll get it for the rest of our lives, but like, notice that's the one like I will never ask because it's the fucking stupidest question. Number one also never a good reason why. And number three Also it's like every band says the same thing. They hate hearing it because they hear it so many times. I got a funny story for you though, hit me Okay. So usually before my interviews I'll say something like I'll never ask you stupid questions like how'd you get your band name. So I'm interviewing August Burns Red and they're like, well, then you're lucky because we make up a different story every freaking time. You see that girl over there, he goes, She asks him, and he goes. We always do it with a straight face. We said to her, well, we were teenagers. My sister got this dog. It's we named it August. One day, we're out in the street party and we decided to be fun. Need to light the dog on fire and watch it run down the street. Ergo August Burns Red, Oh my god, And they were like, you had to see the look of horror on her face.

15:11 But you deserve that if you're getta ask that kaya question, Like, that's what I would do. Just fuck with it. Ask us how we met? How did you meet Grinder? There's a there's a threesome section. Oh that's great. The start a band section? Yeah, start a band section? I mean, crazy ad to do with Grinder? Start a band section? I think I think you should do like tiktoks, like pretending about the whole Grinder. Oh this is good. That's that's good. You didn't have to pretend. We just yeah, see exists yeah, see there it is. Yeah, my grinder handle is Teddy Bear sixty nine yours what's your grinder handle? Safe word stop? And Bardo's pipe Man there, that one's taken. I knew I've seen you somewhere else. You know, they're good.

16:07 There's people, Okay, I hate to say it, but sometimes listeners are stupid. There's people that are actually gonna look that shit up. Because I have this fake group on. Okay, on my on my live show, the Pipe Man group on. And basically I did this whole like dark night thing, you know, and so like my place where I live is the Pipe Cave, and so yeah, crazy, So it's this new bed and breakfast call and it's a new group on. It's normally one hundred and ninety nine a night. If you call during the show, ninety nine dollars a night, you come to the Pipe Cave, you service the pipe Man all night long. Then you serve me breakfast, and then you go home and head and breakfast. Oh wow, chicks call into the show to buy this fake group on. Kid, that's awesome. That is crazy. Service the pipe Man, the pipe Man. They come, they can lay the pipe for you. Lay that pipe plumber certification on site service the pipe Man.

17:17 I think what I'm gonna have to do is I'll tell tell the engineer while he's editing this, like to slip that Pipeman Group on commercial into this interview. Please, It'll be like right after that. I'll go right into it. Because I have the woman that runs my Louisia studio. She has this real soul chy voice and you can see the pipe Man two. Can't wait? Can we punch this in now? A message from our sponsors. Are you tired of the same old bed and breakfast? Come missit the pipe case where you can service the pipe man, Oh my long, and then serve the Pipeman breakfast and then get the hell out. That's the pipe Man group on. The Group on Special is normally one ninety nine, but today it's on sale for ninety nine dollars.

When you hear the interview, you'll hear are my grandchildren, And it's so funny because it's got this and then you hear what's it tad pipe man? You'll hear I swear to god.
