0:04 Hey, you have unto the censure. I'm for see wow for you young way become America. It's time for the Adventures of White Man on W four C why dot Com West pomp Beach is number one Internet radio station. Here's your host, the White Man. Oh, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way.

0:53 That's no way alway. We all felt the light ready for whatever in the last just as the crass you can't out run yo. We are backing. This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe Man W four c Y Radio. And we're here with what's up of trauma with head pe Kid basse with So everybody always thinks that's what about for the listeners that didn't hear that, they were sitting here pretending to you know, hit the bond because they think that's what pipe man is. And actually everybody thinks that. In fact, I've had artists write songs during the interview about me smoking the pipe.

1:38 You want to try that, You want to try write a pipe man song? No, I ain't got no bars right now. No. I think what he's trying to say is it's about laying pipe. That's why he's the pipe man. That's the other one too. He is dead, is I I can respect it? Nice? So I love your hat. Tell us about your hat? Well, all right, it's a good questions. So this hat here, you'll notice there's a button with the gentleman I. His name is Josh. He was my best friend, Josh Obada in Michigan, out of Flint, and he passed away. So his dad came and brought me like a bunch of stuff and said, you know, he loves you, man, and here's some of his things. I want you to have some some things from his things because you know, to remember him by it.

2:22 And so I got a shirt and I saw this hat and I was like, that's so, Josh, I'm taking this hat. This one's coming with me. So every now and again when I go on a tour, it normally hangs above my bed or whatever. Every now and he'll be like, all right, Josh, you're coming out with me on this tour. So he's with me on this tour. Him and Larson Smith out of New Hampshire's out with me. That's where this chain is right here. So see, I love it. I'm glad I picked out to talk about that. My best bro since thirteen, and we used to go to ten million shows together. He passed in September two. He was like a brother, So I relate totally because I bring shit of his with me when I'm going on tour doing all these festivals. That's awesome, man, I'm so happy I brought up the hat. I too. You don't hear that. See you can help. But he's sitting right there. Hey, I'm right here too.

3:07 I know, right. What does he have to say in the interview? Is he talking for you? He's channeled through me. That's what I'm saying. We're like this anyway, so you know you'll get a piece of him while we talk. I guarantee you that. How you feel being here at Welcome to Rockville, absolutely loving it. The crowd was wild, sounded amazing, people were jamming. It was totally packed. So we're you know, catering, getting sheltered around. It's fucking awesome, is it? Aren't These Danny Wimmer festivals badass like you guys have been around a long time. How's it? How does Danny Wimmer treat you guys as artists? Oh? It's it's just been incredible. We've we do festivals almost every year, and this is the best one that I can remember in the last my nine years in the bands. Yeah, you know, the hospitality is on point as far as life security is concerned. You feel real safe out here. They have a bunch of different security measures in place to where you know, everyone is kind of like where they're supposed to be. So there's that, and then of course the attendance is wonderful. So yeah, I got hats off to the man. He's doing it. He's doing a great shop. And speaking of attendance, like, were you kind of shocked at that early in the day festival to have that kind of crowd a little bit? Yeah, because even the band before us, there wasn't really that many people. There are like a few hundred, and then as soon as we came on to play, it was just they swarmed in nice. Yeah, it was it was great. Man. While we were on it was just front to back packed up and yeah, I was kind of impressed. You know, there's a lot of people just singing along the whole time from front of Bato'm like, whoa, you know they were allowed so they were giving the love.

4:38 Oh yeah, tons of pitting Oh yeah, punk rock Baby, I love it. I think that. I think the first time I saw you guys, I can't even remembered or so many, but I think it was an odds fest in the nineties and you were Is it that long ago? I don't even remember. It's a long time ago whenever it was. But yeah, I mean, you guys have been around a long fucking time and to be here at Rockville, man, that's badass. And did you drive on the Daytona Speedway? Yeah? Yeah, I drove on the speedway. Yeah. I've been with the band now for sixteen years, and over the years, like Kurt was saying, we've done a lot of different festivals. This one is amongst the top three for sure in terms of just everything you know, hospitality, security, attendance, transportation, goes. It's always good to hear artists like that treated like that because a lot of times you guys play at festivals or venues and you're not treated the way you should be to make it a stress fully experience. It's bad enough it's stressful to go and do a gig, but then I have to deal with a bunch of shit and load in or not being trade right. It was zero assholes the whole time.

5:53 I dealt with one. But it was because I tried to skate on the raceway wall. Oh my god, I can't. I wasn't even gonna say it in this interview. As I've said so many times, that's so funny. You should say that because I have my skateboard and my jeep back there. They did not appreciate me. Yeah, I I your skateboard. You ain't taking nothing. Bro chill out, right, I I asked. Last year, I asked, Chrissy, I'm like, you think if I ride my skateboard up on the wall, I'll lose my media pass. She's like, I wouldn't do it. And then this year I was like I told her before, I'm like, I'll probably break my arm, but it'll be worth it up on that ship. And he did not like it. Oh I bet, I bet so listen. I gotta I gotta give you props, man, because you did what I only talked about doing. I love it. How was it could have been better? But it was cool?

6:46 Nice? Right? Yeah? It is pre like you don't see that TV. It's like a giant wave coming down on you. And it's steep too. Oh. One hundred percent. It's not like you see on TV they say you have to drive at lea stayedy miles per hour to not flip on that wall. Yeah, you know, can you imagine. I can't even imagine driving on that thing. It's scary just standing by it. Oh. I concerned with my jeep. I considered with my cheap I'm like, yeah, I wouldn't be a good idea. I'd roll in, like I wouldn't even get up a foot and roll. It was funny because when we came in with the Arlene Sue that's our new RV, I was like, pudget, We're on the racetrack doing twenty right. Because I came in I had a rental car because everyone came in separate than me. I was.

7:30 I was in Jacksonville, Florida last night, so I came in a rental car and I got on this swim like, dude, we're on the racetrack. Yeah, let's go. And the guy I'm following, yeah, twenty miles an hour. I'm like, this is a little anti climactic. I know, right. I was on a golf cart and I asked the dude on the golf cart, I'm like, I asked him about the skateboard. I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna take my skateboard go up on the wall way. You think he goes, Well, somebody last year drove on the speedway and was permanently banned for life from this venue for a life. I'm like, Okay, maybe you don't want to say. Maybe not. I gotta get one more before we leave. Do it? Do it? I want video, Send me video of it. That'll be cool. So anything you want to talk about that's coming up after Rockville that the listeners need to know about. Yeah, that's a great question. Thanks for asking it.
