because i've seen high in fire probably 45 00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:53,200 eight times um i've interacted with matt 46 00:01:56,550 --> 00:01:55,200 pike a little bit uh he seems like a 47 00:01:58,950 --> 00:01:56,560 nice enough guy 48 00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:58,960 and and i don't pick up any sort of like 49 00:02:02,709 --> 00:02:00,240 uh 50 00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:02,719 maliciousness from him he's just like a 51 00:02:09,190 --> 00:02:06,000 stoner guitar guy who likes to talk 52 00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:09,200 about weird conspiracies and paranormal 53 00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:11,440 stuff that's it he's not pushing belief 54 00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:14,400 systems but npr decided to write 55 00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:16,400 what amounts i believe to 56 00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:17,360 uh 57 00:02:20,309 --> 00:02:18,720 a hit piece 58 00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:20,319 and uh 59 00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:22,640 i'll bring this up on screen and i know 60 00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:23,920 there's a lot of other news to get to 61 00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:25,200 but for whatever reason went down this 62 00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:27,520 rabbit so i'll bring this up on screen 63 00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:28,959 and uh 64 00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:32,560 it's titled can matt pike face the music 65 00:02:37,589 --> 00:02:34,879 and it starts off uh 66 00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:37,599 pretty pretty even-handedly so in the 67 00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:40,560 fall of 2008 uh pike's heavy metal trio 68 00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:42,959 of nearly a decade 69 00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:45,120 more than that uh but uh high and fire 70 00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:47,040 was slotted to warm up for the band 71 00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:50,959 opith uh opeth a swedish pro uh 72 00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:52,640 progressive metal band 73 00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:55,120 on a three months uh three months sweep 74 00:02:58,790 --> 00:02:56,720 through the united states and europe so 75 00:02:59,910 --> 00:02:58,800 it goes on and on they they kind of open 76 00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:59,920 it up 77 00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:01,760 to kind of give a little background on 78 00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:06,800 pike but then npr launches into this 79 00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:08,879 kind of tirade against the conspiracy 80 00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:11,200 theories and pike 81 00:03:15,509 --> 00:03:12,640 and so i just picked out a few little 82 00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:15,519 paragraphs here uh about this and this 83 00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:19,760 kind of goes to how the mainstream media 84 00:03:24,229 --> 00:03:21,920 decides to 85 00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:24,239 reinvent the conspiracy they they they 86 00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:26,400 decide to frame it their own way and 87 00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:29,200 then attach it to somebody 88 00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:31,920 so it starts off here uh in early 89 00:03:36,470 --> 00:03:34,400 february of this year i called pike to 90 00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:36,480 continue our conversation 91

correct about the world 286 00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:40,399 you know he's a little wishy-washy about 287 00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:43,200 it but he seems pretty diplomatic okay 288 00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:46,240 uh chupacabra i'm sorry go ahead joe i 289 00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:49,200 think he seems humble 290 00:10:53,990 --> 00:10:52,640 right and where is the lie 291 00:10:55,990 --> 00:10:54,000 you know what i mean like everybody 292 00:10:57,990 --> 00:10:56,000 wants like kyle rittenhouse in prison 293 00:11:00,389 --> 00:10:58,000 because we watched that trial but glenn 294 00:11:02,470 --> 00:11:00,399 maxwell like whatever happened epstein 295 00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:02,480 whatever happened like you got the all 296 00:11:06,550 --> 00:11:04,720 the big names and it's like all we care 297 00:11:09,110 --> 00:11:06,560 about is johnny depp and the poop on his 298 00:11:12,069 --> 00:11:09,120 bed like what is happening here 299 00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:12,079 justice does not exist 300 00:11:16,949 --> 00:11:14,880 and he's getting at that and uh 301 00:11:19,590 --> 00:11:16,959 he's like he's not like the biggest 302 00:11:21,590 --> 00:11:19,600 musician you know he is you know he 303 00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:21,600 draws a good crowd with high on fire 304 00:11:26,470 --> 00:11:24,640 when he tours uh they put put up great 305 00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:26,480 records if you like metal and like if 306 00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:28,240 you're into motorhead and black sabbath 307 00:11:31,750 --> 00:11:29,760 you'd probably like high and fire which 308 00:11:34,389 --> 00:11:31,760 i do um 309 00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:34,399 but it it does impact like so when they 310 00:11:38,069 --> 00:11:36,000 write like a hit piece like an npr 311 00:11:40,630 --> 00:11:38,079 that's a pretty big publication for 312 00:11:42,790 --> 00:11:40,640 people that are curious about music or 313 00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:42,800 just kind of what's going on and so that 314 00:11:47,350 --> 00:11:44,800 filters down and it does like affect 315 00:11:48,389 --> 00:11:47,360 people at that at this level 316 00:11:50,550 --> 00:11:48,399 when he's trying to put out something 317 00:11:52,949 --> 00:11:50,560 like on band camp where no one was 318 00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:52,959 touring during covid so he put out stuff 319 00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:54,959 and then if band can't kick you off well 320 00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:56,480 that's a revenue stream 321 00:12:02,230 --> 00:11:59,279 uh it it it really impacts people 322 00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:02,240 and so when they misrepresent 323 00:12:07,990 --> 00:12:04,720 they the the media misrepresents what he 324 00:12:08,949 --> 00:12:08,000 actually is saying or saying jews yes 325 00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:08,959 joe 326 00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:11,760 when they when they misrepresent what 327 00:12:17,110 --> 00:12:14,320 his belief systems are if he even knows 328 00:12:21,030 --> 00:12:17,120 and attaches that to him to cause some 329 00:12:23,030 --> 00:12:21,040 sort of backlash that's a problem um 330 00:12:26,790 --> 00:12:23,040 they did quote him a lot in the npr 331 00:12:28,949 --> 00:12:26,800 article about free speech and um in his 332 00:12:31,350 --> 00:12:28,959 right to kind of just explore these 333 00:12:33,030 --> 00:12:31,360 different topics and write about them 334 00:12:34,949 --> 00:12:33,040 not even sure if he believes them or not 335 00:12:37,269 --> 00:12:34,959 but be able to explore these topics in 336 00:12:39,910 --> 00:12:37,279 an artistic way and then write songs 337 00:12:41,110 --> 00:12:39,920 about him this is right and uh he's not 338 00:12:42,790 --> 00:12:41,120 telling what people what to believe and 339 00:12:44,629 --> 00:12:42,800 by the way if you listen to his songs 340 00:12:46,310 --> 00:12:44,639 it's sometimes very hard to even 341 00:12:47,509 --> 00:12:46,320 understand what he's singing about in 342 00:12:48,470 --> 00:12:47,519

00:16:49,360 what i mean i remember when you were 444 00:16:54,069 --> 00:16:51,600 doing the show and i rolled my eyes 445 00:16:55,910 --> 00:16:54,079 about the bigfoots and the aliens and 446 00:16:57,590 --> 00:16:55,920 all that stuff because i'm you know it's 447 00:16:58,710 --> 00:16:57,600 like scully 448 00:17:00,230 --> 00:16:58,720 uh too 449 00:17:01,749 --> 00:17:00,240 you know

if they're so real but 453 00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:07,600 isn't it a more fun world if they're 454 00:17:12,549 --> 00:17:10,000 there and you just haven't been proven 455 00:17:13,990 --> 00:17:12,559 wrong yet or right yet like i don't know 456 00:17:17,189 --> 00:17:14,000 i think it's much better to have 457 00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:17,199 possibilities than to say definitively 458 00:17:21,029 --> 00:17:19,120 like [\h__\h] you know 459 00:17:23,270 --> 00:17:21,039 the journey it's uh sometimes it's about 460 00:17:25,429 --> 00:17:23,280 the process it's about the journey of 461 00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:25,439 discovery and looking for stuff it's why 462 00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:26,720 i watch 463 00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:29,039 uh shows like skinh skinwalker ranch 464 00:17:32,870

00:17:36,720 but i find it to be entertaining um and 468 00:17:40,950 --> 00:17:38,960 i watch expedition bigfoot where they 469 00:17:43,029 --> 00:17:40,960 shoot it like it's it's a blair witch 470 00:17:45,110 --> 00:17:43,039 project and everyone's it's a handheld 471 00:17:46,950 --> 00:17:45,120 camera and you're yelling at the screen 472 00:17:48,549 --> 00:17:46,960 the screen to like just
