0:04 Hey, you love them too, sus sure, I'm from four see why for Wake Up America. It's time for the Adventures on pipe Man on W four CWY dot com. West pom Beats is number one internet radio station. Here's your host, the White Man. This it's pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe Man W four c Y Radio and I'm here with Robot. I love it, love it. I would you know, listen, I was so excited you're gonna be here today because you guys are like the most fun band ever. We paid you to say that. Yeah, but you know it wasn't enough. Here's another dollar, right, it's funny. We were just talking about strip clubs. Now you're offering me a dollar. Hey, I still haven't seen you shake it, baby. I know. Well, I'll tell you what though. You might have some fun if you shake it with that vest. For those girls behind me, they love your vest,

1:38 okay, they think they want it. This has been, like I want to say, probably eight years. I've had this thing and it smells like it you've never never dry cleaned it once? Yeah, say, and just for simple principle, I don't think I'm ever gonna right. I don't think I'm gonna it might ruin. It's it's part of its probably. Well, it's like it's like giving it's like taking away Jack Daniels from Lemmy. Just what's keeping it as the funky stuff? Don't do that? You know you should have let me perform with you, you know, like from the post mortem. Yeah, yeah, it couldn't smell any worse. Yeah, exactly, say you could have a contest which smells more Lemmy or your best after?

2:28 Right, So have you ever played Rocklhoma before? I don't even remember. This is my first time, but Brandon, yes, second time, right, second time. Last time we played here there was a tornado. I hear. That's just about every year. Oh yeah, yeah. We thought there was something so special about that and we got there like that's like every year, I know, right, and Christine and I were talking about this earlier, and she said, you gotta have him tell the story of whether he was here for a tornado. Yeah. Yeah. So we were running around being nuts, and I think Jared James Nichols came into our dressing room and we were drinking and having a great time, and then all of a sudden, well, no, we were the last band to play.

3:16 Actually yea, but we could just got done playing and we went to our dressing room and Jared James Nichols came in and we were drinking, drinking, drinking, and then we hear this rumor like everything's getting shut down, everything's getting shut down, you know, batting down the hatches, and we're just in these like trailers, like we got here this year and they're like, oh, they smartened up. They put us in like storage units this time. I don't think that. I don't think the tornado is lifting these things off. It's only because the trailers are gone. Yeah, well that's it. And I think what it happened is we got out a dodge before before everything went down. And by everything went down, I mean tools, video wall went came crashing down. I think it was two million dollars worth led video wall. I just came crashing down, happy Meanyard was not happy.

4:10 No, But yeah, that was that was the story. We got out of here, and and we did, and actually we stopped at a gas station and we realized we were in Kansas anymore when they had all the all the windows barred up and and the doors were locked, and uh, you know We're like, we just gotta take a pee, and and we're outside, just peeing outside, and uh, we start hearing the sirens, like the town sirens, and no nobody in sight. Right, everything's a ghost town. And we're just like, we gotta get the hell out of here. Put your PEPs away, it's time to go. Oh my god.

4:50 And did you get out a dodge without a scratch? Well, I don't know about without a scratch, but we made it with just about all of our body parts. So I have an interesting tornado story, yeah, because I live in Florida, so we have that crap too. And as you know you've played Rockville, it's always fucking evacuated every year because it's during hurricane season. Go figure. But I was sitting with my neighbor across the street on the bed of his pickup truck. We're just hanging out and we look behind my house and a tornado touched down my backyard and we just looked each other. We're like, well, there's nowhere we could go. We don't have time, so good luck with this. The fucking thing, Like, obviously it worked out well, I'm here, but it jumped over my house, over our heads, over his house and touchdown in his backyard. Whoa, And we were just like, oh shit, what kind of bad stuff are you guys doing that? That's like, well it's hard, carmenad come on, you have to say anymore? Like is there a reason we always have hurricanes and torn it like God is trying to wipe us out? It's because it's so beautiful there all the time. Yeah, well accept the people.

6:18 Oh man, So what's new going on with Crobot? There? Maybe some rumors we may or may not be writing some new material. We may or may not be getting into the studio soon, We may or may not be thinking about some music videos, releasing cascading, getting ready for a new record, maybe allegedly. I don't know. I'm just saying I don't confirm nor denying. Sure, that's a pretty incredible hypothesis you have there, Dan, Are you gonna be creating new TikTok though? Yeah? Yeah, mostly mostly just in our minds though, because uh, you know, actually doing and posting to TikTok it takes a lot of time. It is a lot of work. It's not at work. And I don't know if it's just because like I'm I'm on that verge of like boomerism in the way that I work technology. But it's a lot of work, I'm telling you. You know, after doing a few tiktoks, I'm like, I got like five hundred drafts of my TikTok. I'm like, fuck this, it's too much work. Yeah, that's not I mean you just tend to overthink it.

7:35 Yeah. Yeah, we'll be thinking about we'll be overthinking about making some new tiktoks. How about how about your only fans? How's that doing? Oh that's been great. You don't got to think about that. All all you do there is just hit record. Yeah, I mean there's no thought into that at all. So question is okay. So from what I hear, are the number one only fans and number two are feet I'm eating? Do you do both? Yeah? Eat feet? I mean why why not? It's righting itself already. See See, we we don't have to overthink it. We just we just crush some grapes, right, and only fans will the algorithm will work its magic and we'll be number one in no time.

8:20 There you go. We're in the wrong business here, I'm telling I'm telling you, we gotta be crushing some grapes on only fans, that's right, absolutely, yeah, squeezing some lemons with our toes. I think I'm gonna puke, easy peasy lemon tozy. So that see, I'm giving you material for you know, a supposed album, like if there were a new Crowbod album. Yeah, you could sing about only fans, write a song about only fans. We could or we could do an only dance which yes, please please sing about me if you were to Okay, now I'm gonna put you on the spot. If you were going to sing a song about only dance, sing it for me with what would the lyrics be? Right now?

9:16 Only dance is the only maeans only please for the holy fans see a dance? I love it. See that. That's what That's what people, That's what we need to do in interviews from now on, Like instead of press people just asking how do you get your band name, just you go around all the press people and just have like collaborate and write a song in every interview and then you have a whole album on the spot Johnny, Right, yeah, come on, that's a great idea. I like it, right, I love it. I especially like to just make it up on the fly, right, nobody ever knows where I'm going with it, not even me. Well, if you knew, then you'd know that's right, that's right, And not knowing it's the best one. I think I want that on my headstone. See mark that down, put it in your will, and also put a disclaimer if you don't fucking put that. I'm coming back to haunt. Yeah, oh man, So what else should we talk about? Like, what do you got to tell the people that we haven't covered? M See that's a tough question, right, Yeah, this is this is the last show for a little while, So we're gonna be locking the locks on the wood shed and you know, just pumping out some new

10:48 material and wait, wait, wait supposed allegedly come on now, right, this is a hypothetical situation. I didn't write it, chat GPT did, so please excuse me. This is not my script. Now you're deviating away from boomerism, okay, cup, Yeah what about that? Like, now there's probably you know, there were bands that form themselves, as you know, with millions of TikTok followers copying other music, and now there's gonna be bands that are just gonna write music with chat GBT and not know what the fuck they're doing. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean it takes away all the five writers, right, I mean, not speaking for ourselves. Can chat GBT play a guitar though? Because I don't think chat GPT will ever be rock and roll enough right? Ever? Replace us? You could never smell like this. I tell you that certainly could not replace Crobot. There's a few other bands maybe even play it here, that they could replace, but not Crobot. Well, thank you, sir, of course. So where has been your favorite gig in your whole musical career? See, I've interviewed you so many times. I got to come up with new questions.

12:13 You know whoa See, he's got to think about that. That was our only fans, fans, our only dance fans. Quiet, quiet on the set, he's off the clock. So what do you think? What do you think? Can you think of it? You're supposed to say Rockklahoma, Oklahoma on twenty twenty three, don't I don't know. There have been so many great places that we played throughout the years. We've had the pleasure of playing with so many great bands, and and some way we've pinched me.

12:54 But we've We've been on so many great tours. I can't I can't think of a single single show in in memory because it's my memory is just really bad. But I was very fond of the Motorhead tour that we were on. WHOA who would in hindsight, you know it was the last US tours. You're like a LEMMI mini me. I've been told that, right, told that. Say, it's all the chops. That's it, That's why it is. It is the chops. I got something fun to do. You want to do something fun only that I know you would love doing this. See that dude over there with the dreads. I want you guys to yell at him, Fuck Sewn Nations. He's in another band, this band actually even in death. His name's Sean Nations. But it's a big joke around Rock Oklahoma that everybody's yelling fuck Sewn Nations. So you gotta say it loud enough so he hears it. He's not being interviewed, so you're not interrupting. What fuck Sean Nations. Fuck Sewn Nations, Fuck Sean Nations.

14:05 He got us on videos phone. I love it so ary. Final words, you want to leave me? With before I get ready, you quef? And how do you like? How do you like your queef? How do I like my quef? Morn wet? There you go? That do they squirt when they quief? Oh? God? Are we even allowed to talk like That's in twenty twenty three. I'm just around all these eighties sunset strip bands. It's like all coming back to me. Listen. We've we've been on tour with Steel Panther, so it's nothing that we haven't seen before, right, exactly.
