Hey, it's another supplemental, uh, ANMA episode. It's a Gus, it's a Gus-less episode of the In-Between Weeks, so Gus can go on his vacation. [♪ Music playing Like that's a, that's like, that's like European vacation level there. He's off like 12 weeks a year. I agree, but it is Gus. So I think he just probably sits at home. He's probably folding clothes right now. He's folding, he's folding clothes for two weeks. He's, he won't tell us, but he's playing World of Warcraft.

He is, he's just doing all the stuff that he wanted to do a long time ago. Maybe he's going online Rice University, kind of doing, you know, at his own pace. He's secretly going back to get his degree. And then one day, you're just gonna, you're gonna make a college joke about him dropping out and he's like, what are you talking about? I have my MBA. And they're like, shut up.

And he's like, no, I secretly got it five years ago. I never told you. That's a very gust thing to do. It's a very gust thing to do. And it seems like you don't need it if you start a company that's gone on for 20 years and you're a pilot that doesn't seem like you probably need a college degree as well.

Dude, this fucking company, let me tell you, I joined the army for a myriad of reasons when I was 17, right? One of them, I won't even say it was the main one, but one of them was for college money, right? The GI Bill, they call it, the Army, the GI Bill. And when I went, when I joined the Army, you could get the GI Bill, it was $16,000 for college.

It's how low it was when I was, this is how long ago it was. Like it's like, I think it was like 50 or 60 last time I saw it, It's way higher. But so it also, you had like 10 years to use it after you got out of the military or it expired. I think that has changed now too, and it's like you have it in perpetuity or some shit.

But so one of the major reasons I joined the military was for that college fund. And then I was in the Army for five years, got out, started rooster teeth almost immediately. 10 years later, going back to college was the last thing on earth I wanted to do at like 33 when that money was running out. And so I basically joined the army for college money

that I let expire and never used because of Rooster Teeth. But imagine that you're Gus and you can secretly go to college and then throw it in everyone's face. Dude, you and I should find up, we should get degrees from online secret university. This is such a good idea. And then we'll just have them in our pocket for whenever,

whenever it comes up. And then when he thinks he's got us, boom. Fuck it. I already have a degree. Do I need to do this? Yeah, I got a PhD in onlineology. Okay, I mean, I have like a bachelor's. Oh yeah, you went to college.

I didn't see, I don't, well, see, you've already got that. You're already ahead of the game here, but you don't have your masters. No, that's true. You don't have your masters from secret internet college. It's true. I should get a master's from Secret Internet College. This is a good idea.

This is, and now we have something to throw at Gus, which is really all we're looking for, I think. I think that's what the show is, which is pretty exciting. You just have to be ready for when Gus is pithy. It's like you just have to have bullets in the chamber. You don't have to show him the gun or Flex it you just have to be ready for when he throws out his little

Gussism or his little shitty Gus comment you can go like well as a matter of fact I have this revolver full of Full of comedy bullets that I'm going to unload on you right now Is that how you tell him that stuff too? unload on you right now. I'm gonna, is that, is that how you tell them that stuff too? I have a revolver full of comedy bullets. I'm gonna unload in you. Might be the first time I've ever phrased that. That's really good to appropriate.

That's pretty special. That's exciting. Um, well, we're on a two week, uh, quote unquote break from going to get coffee and do an episode of the anima podcast But that doesn't mean that we want to prevent you from having a new something to listen to while you're doing dishes this week So we are recording Myself and Jeff a supplemental anima episode where I think we were both I don't know about excited to talk about music on this one, but I definitely have a bunch of stuff that I want to kind of throw at you

and see if you've been listening to this stuff and kind of give recommendations. Is there anything that you've been listening to or stuff that's been like top of mind for you? Yeah, I've been kind of all over the map with music lately. Like I've been listening to a ton of music, but not in any kind of way that makes sense thematically. And so I had a I prepared a file last time we did one of these and I only talked

about maybe a third of the music. Yeah. So I pulled that back up and I added some new stuff in the degree of difficulty I'm dealing with is I can't remember exactly what we talked about last time and I didn't pull it out after we talked about it. So it's possible I may revisit a song or two. I apologize. It just means I'm still listening to that song. That's good. That's good. I do. OK. But yeah, you want to you want to lead it off? Yeah. So a one that I actually threw at you. And I think I brought up on the show a couple of weeks ago.

I think at this point is the Bobby Lee's and their album Yes. Suit. That has been like heavy rotation for me over like the last couple of weeks. It's an album that came out in 2020, but it has, it's just that wheelhouse of music that I really like that is, I would call a band's first album where they're still learning how to play their instruments. And it's like everything that I liked about,

and I'm not comparing them to the Strokes because they do not sound like the Strokes, but it's everything, this album sounds like everything that I liked about the Strokes first album where it was a bunch of guys trying to make a band and putting together something that shouldn't hit me kind of like sonically the way that it does, but I fucking love it.

And that's the way Skinsuit sounds also. There, the ninth song on the album, Drive, drive is just I think I told you that it sounds like if need for speed was still a franchise That would be the theme song from it. It's so Fucking oh it just sounds so fucking cool and everything's distorted and everything's ugly and the band is ugly And it's just ugly and I love that kind of shit. I love affected vocals and just slammed through distorted instruments. It's fucking, it sounds like it was recorded

in a old like gas station. It's fucking awesome. I love it. I love it. I added it, but just so you know, I just wrote I am in Spotify. I just typed drive Bobby. Yeah, I figured that would pull it up. There's a Bobby McFerrin song called Drive.

What? Be very careful. OK, well, I'm not. I'm not talking about that. He's probably bebopping and scatting all over that one. You know, he is. Oh, it's you. You know, he's saying some word I'll go info I've like that's not what this sounds to do but I did yeah yeah take that Bobby McFerrin we're fucking getting them Jeff I just looked it up the album. It's on is as old as I am

So I will start off my recommendation with you know last time we talked I was deep deep deep into like 70s African rock and electronic music of which I still am and I'm a little and I'm still listening to a lot of it but I'm not gonna mention any of that stuff because I can't remember what I did or didn't listen to but But through that somehow I discovered and this is not African music at all But through listening to them and through recommendations from a friend I discovered I don't know if you ever heard of Ted Hawkins No, I don't think so it's uh

It's nothing like he just he's a dude who um I think that's because I was like watching documentaries from like and trying to read more of and I just ended up on this documentary about Ted Hawkins but he he was this dude who grew up in Mississippi and played acoustic guitar and sang some wrote songs and eventually made it his way out to like it was just fighting through the through the 60s and the 70s trying to like just almost making it almost getting there and getting getting close and then and just getting door

slammed in his face or like one time he recorded an album that took a decade for it to come out. Wow. After he recorded it, yeah. He wrote an album, or he put out an album in the early 80s called Watch Your Step that is one of the best albums of all time. But everybody on earth should stop and listen to the song

Sorry You're Sick by Ted Hawkins. This guy, and then go watch a documentary about him. This guy's life, he ended up living in California and raising a family and he did it by playing his music on the Venice Beach Boardwalk. Wow. Like busking, essentially. Wow. And he did he did that for over, I don't know, like 15 or 20 years. Just get up, got up every day and took the bus down and would play music

on the Venice Boardwalk for change. And then at some point, like the dude who signed Nirvana saw him and was like, I gotta sign this guy. And then he kind of became a huge, he kind of became an it guy for a little bit, had a little bit of a resurgence and finally started making some money

and was able to like take care of his family and finally get some of the recognition he deserved. And then he died a couple, I think 2014. But he it's kind of like soul, like like a acoustic. I don't know how to describe it like folk music, soul music, but it's unique. It's unlike anything like structurally song structurally. It's it's just very unique, I guess. I was the only descriptor I can have for it.

It's just it's like it's unlike any other music I've really heard. It's very familiar, very adjacent. But when you hear it, it's like always got his own little thing, and it's really raw and really emotional. And if that song Sorry, You're Sick doesn't fuck you up a little bit and get they just get in you, I'll be surprised. Damn, that's fucking cool. I got to listen to that.

Yeah, he also I'm just going to throw two in there because my other favorite song by him is called Baby. And that's a little bit it's a little more upbeat. That song, but they're both just like phenomenal. Huh. Well, that's fucking cool. I really like that. That's like thanks, man. I'm going to listen to that shit. So last time I was like obsessed with African rock music.

This time I'm just obsessed with Ted Hawkins. I've been listening to a lot of Ted Hawkins. And then like anything that gets recommended that's adjacent to him. Wow, that's fucking cool. The stuff that I've been listening to, like I'm definitely gonna listen to Ted Hawkins. Like everything you just said is like, fuck man, I got to check that out now.

Like I'm just like making a list based on everything we put here. Some stuff I've been listening to is actually, well, local isn't the right word at this point, but it's San Diego stuff that I listen to a lot, even now, but two bands that I really recommend. Joy is a band from San Diego that's very, like Psychedelic Rock, I guess is what you could call it. It's, I think members of like Earthless and some other bands in there. It's very, sounds like riding a motorcycle

and taking acid and just being outside. It's fucking, it's cool. The problem is when you search joy, band, good fucking luck. There's a lot of female artists named Joy. Dude, so it's the thing that I always have to search when I need to look for them, because I don't even think they're a band anymore.

Maybe they are, but I don't think so. I have to search Joy Band San Diego, but the album that I recommend is called Right Along. It is, it's great. I have it on vinyl. It's a really fantastic album. It's just, it's a pretty straightforward rock album. It's not asking too much of you, but it's not,

I don't think it's a waste of anyone's time. It's just sort of loud and cool, but without being sort of macho and aggressive. It just, it's very fucking cool. And they're on Spotify? If they're not on Spotify, they're on Apple Music. Okay, I'll look for them on Apple Music, I'm not in trouble finding them on Spotify.

Yeah, good fucking luck. Ride Along and Under the Spell of Joy. Those are the two albums that I would recommend. Another band that actually, I think, just put this up recently, but it's from like 2004, 2003. It's a band called Reeve Oliver, R-E-E-V-E, O-L-I-V-E-R, Reeve Oliver. They had an album, a self titled album that came out in 2004.

They had a song called I Want Burns that was, had some radio play and I think they toured sort of like warp tour adjacent stuff. That would be like at that time. Uh, they were just a local band that won some San Diego music awards stuff. And there was a guy in the band named Oh, who's from a, uh, another band called Fluff that he recently passed, I think not too, too long ago. And that's really a bummer. But the other guys, Sean O'Donnell and Brad Davis are like staples

and like the San Diego kind of overall scene. So Reeve Oliver, self titled is a really great album, but Touch Tone Inferno is sort of like their second album that has a lot of the same tracks or I guess a lot of like the same touches from the first album. I don't know that everyone's going to like it, but when I put it on, it just it sounds like 2004 and turning on the radio in San Diego. So I really, really love that. I added I want burns. Yeah. I'm going to add a cheat me softly. That's there you go.

There's a couple of couple of good songs. I want burns. I think is just I don't know that it's I don't know that it's up your alley at all. It is pretty. It's pretty poppy for some alternate like alternative rock, but it is man. It just sounds great. I love the sound of it.

I like pretty much everything now that I'm older, now that I've learned not to be such a bitch about music. Ha comes from Burn Dog and Antonio play trucks. This might have come from that. I don't know anything about. I just it's a song that's in my playlist. I don't know where I put it from. It's a band called Bleach. And I the the song name is all Asian characters. So I maybe Japanese. I can't tell. But it's just like crazy hardcore. Like I don't even know it's like just lots of screaming and very fast.

I sent it to you in Discord just because I don't know. So I found it here. They are a bleach, a Japanese, all female noise rock trio from Okinawa, Japan. Well, there you go. That's I don't remember where I picked it up, but it's fucking awesome. Whoa, there you go. That's fun. I don't remember where I picked it up, but it's fucking awesome. Ha ha ha!

But while they were banned it was been called American Nightmare a hardcore band from the early 2000s They they actually had to change their name because there was another American Nightmare. And so they ended up having to change their name to Give Up the Ghost. And I don't know what ever happened to them. They did a reunion tour, I know, but there's a song called Protest Song 00

and off their year one album. And that is like the most, it's like a breakup song about it's just like the most angry breakup song you'll ever hear and Really really really good like early 2000s Screamy hardcore protest song zero zero great screams in that song. That's fucking see now this is like getting way out there. That's fucking cool. It's exactly it's exactly what I'm looking for to add. That's just like way out of left field. I'm pretty all over the map with like with music like I was saying these days. That's cool. That's good. That's great though. I have been listening to a friend, uh, band, this band called, uh, Razor Knights. My friend Andrew, who is, uh, he was my mechanic barber, masseuse. He's also the drummer for a

band called Razor Knights, R-A-Z-O-R-N-I-G-H-T-S. Uh, they have an EP, they have a few EPs out, but they're their latest one from late last year is called Rock and Roll Dracula. They are, they're fucking awesome. Devil's Blood is such a good song. We don't care, it's such a good song. They have so many great fucking songs. They are members or ex-members.

So my friend's on drums, my friend Andrew's on drums. And then it's X members of a band called Make Out Boys, which was a San Diego LA band. Make Out Boys, I always thought was such a cool name. And when I talk to, when I talk to my friend, the singer, Mario, I'm like, why? And he's like, you know, kiss name their band, kiss. You kind of just name something, whatever you want. And it could be fucking tough.

It doesn't matter what it's called. And I'm like, that's cool. Because the band that he was in before that was called Multiple Stab Wounds. So that's really, it's really going left, right and center. But I really recommend if people can go give a listen to Razor Knights, Rock and Roll Dracula, that EP is so good, but anything that you can find,

they have a City Life is a really good one, and then they have a couple of full albums as well. The stuff they're doing and the stuff they play live is so, like what a blast. I love their shit so, so, so, so much. I can't recommend it enough. Really, really enjoy it. Is it anything like that 30 Rock,

Tracy Morgan song, Werewolf Bar Mitzvah? No, Rock and Roll Dracula is unfortunately nothing like Werewolf Bar Mitzvah. Yeah, you know what? I'll let them know and then maybe they can like rework it a little bit. And we just don't know where it goes from there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right. I added I added those songs. Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah. Listen to them. Let me know what you think. Because OK. Yeah, it's good. Like real straight again, real straight for a rock and roll. And it's it's got like, are they from San Diego? They are. Yeah. Yeah. They're a San Diego band.

I've seen them play live so many times. They play at Tower like a lot of ego San Diego. They are. Yeah. Yeah. They're a San Diego band. I've seen them play live so many times. They play it tower bar a lot and I love tower bar. So how is the San Diego scene still pretty happening? Cause they know they owned the early to mid 2000s. They had so that's late 90s. Yes. That's that was the big. So San Diego was supposed to be the next Seattle. That's all you hear about. If you hang out with people who were in the scene in 1994

in San Diego is how they were going to be the next Seattle. And then it was really just rocket from the crypt. And that was as big as it ever got. It's not. Everyone just goes to LA. Like you play you play stuff in San Diego and then you go up to LA. Like that's just. just, that's it. That's just how it works. That's how it happens.

It's a bummer, but it's, especially now, it's not really, it was really thriving and like kind of like that. Like those like late 90s, early 2000s and then it all just sort of went to Los Angeles. And then that was it. So really a bummer to kind of like see that scene out. There's a documentary about the San Diego scene in the 90s that I actually just bought on Blu-ray

and I haven't watched yet that I'm excited about. It's a lot of like interviews from guys that were kind of around in that time. And just talking about like, we all felt like this was going to be the thing. We all felt like this was going to be the fucking thing. And I think it's called it's going to blow. And it just and it never did. Do you think you'll be in any of the concert footage?

No, not from that time. I was too young. Like when it was happening, like when, I'll be just throwing that there, like when no knife was around. And it was, you know, when you talked about seeing Blink 182, they were sort of like, they popped off, but you know, to say that they were like part of like,

that part of like that San Diego scene, I think does that part of the scene sort of a disservice. Yeah. Because it was a very different sound kind of coming out of Sandy. It was a lot of that post hardcore really drive like J who type of shit. And then, you know, and the blink 182 sort of happened to the side of it and went skyrocketed

So I I'm not in any of that stuff. I was just way way way too young in 1996 I was 10 so I wasn't going to no nice Forget there's a bit of an age difference. I just ask I just asked cuz I I recently did a so alright episode on the band Jobbreaker was a big. Oh, cool. Hell yeah. I'm a big fan of Jobbreaker. I actually did it on. I called it Jobbreaker three ways and I did a bit on the band, a bit on the movie and then a bit on the candy. Candy. That's pretty good. I like that contrast contrasted them all.

But something that I hadn't considered in Jobbreaker is a band that I absolutely fucking loved when I was younger. And I watched the documentary that came out a few years ago just to get just to fill out my history to be ready for the doc to be able to speak about them intelligently in the episode, right? Right. And it opens up and there's about maybe five or six minutes in. They start showing concert footage from a show at Emo's I was at in 1994. No way. And I'm not. Wow. I was at in 1994. No way! And I'm not in the concert footage or anything.

I didn't see myself in it or anything. It's just real brief. But I'll be honest with you, Eric. I just burst out into tears and started crying and I was like so overwhelmed and I didn't quite understand it. It took me a while to figure it out. I just, it never crossed my mind

Because I lived in a pre-internet world back then kind of you know I just never crossed my mind that there's potentially footage out there of Things that I experienced at a young age You know stuff that's lost to time yeah me and being able to just see the room I was in the night I was there like so so clearly after not thinking about it, honestly, for probably 25 years, it was just like emotionally wild. And it really opened. It makes me want to watch every old documentary

from every old band that I ever loved, just in the off chance that I could not even see myself. I don't want to see myself. I just want to be able to see the place I was at the time I was there again at 18 years old or 19 years old. Man, it was like it was wild how like emotionally impactful it was. It was really neat. That's so it I have.

I have that partially with I would go to pro wrestling shows in like 2004 and I was 18 and I would drive up to LA with my friend Brian, we go to this Jewish community center and we would go to pro wrestling gorilla. And it was us and maybe 90, 100 other people, maybe. But it is such a lauded thing from a lauded time in like that scope of like what wrestling sort of became like what it was and everything like that.

That when I see old people post gifts or footage from like, you know, check this out. This is from like June of 2004. And it's like these guys who are on TV and they're headlining WrestleMania and all like this stuff or whatever. And it's like, oh, I was there. And then I go back and watch that show

and I'm like, oh, fuck, I remember this. And there's something not about looking for yourself, but like watching it and going, man, I fucking, I was there and I remember this. It's like, it's getting to watch a memory you didn't think you'd get to experience again in like technicolor right? Yeah. Wow. And it's like this may sound so dumb to people that are a little bit younger that are listening to this because every second of history is of the world is recorded

right now and it's not rare to be able to turn on the TV or look on YouTube and see something from five years ago that you were at or there but that that was not the way the world worked when I was growing up. And so, and I just, you just don't, I don't know, I just don't think I hadn't thought about that place in time and my place in it in so long and getting to see it again. It's like much like your wrestling thing. It's like, it's just fucking, it's an amazing sense of nostalgia in all the best ways. I totally agree. I think it's really cool to find that stuff and see it without necessarily seeking it out, kind of like finding it and going like, oh, fuck. Oh, I like not just, oh, I remember this from this point of view, but I remember this from my point of view.

Like, I remember what this was. It's so strange. It's just a weird feeling. Um, before cell phones, before digital cameras, before. from my point of, like I remember what this was. It's so strange. It's just a weird feeling. Before cell phones, before digital cameras, before, you know, yeah, it's a... Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy. It's weird.

We got a few minutes left. Anything else you wanna throw at the right time? I know, can you repeat that? Let me combine some stuff. So I'm gonna combine Shady Grove by Doc Watson and Six More Miles to the Graveyard by Hank Williams. I've been listening to both of those songs. They're kind of similar.

I really, really, really love Doc Watson. I'm OK with Hank Williams, but I fell into this song and I just fucking love this specific song. But yeah, I would listen to both of those. I'd listen to them together. I'd listen to anything by Doc Watson, anything by Doc Watson. But this is a great fucking song. Well, are you, you're just not like, not much of a Hank guy or what?

He's okay. I just don't know him as well. I know some of this stuff, you know, but like I'd never heard the Six More, Six More Miles to the Graveyard song. Yeah. I think I like, I like, like I like Doc Watson a little bit more because he's a little more bluegrass maybe. And I think I respond to that a little bit more than like just straight old country. Yeah. But those are both just awesome songs.

And I've been had them both on in my playlist for a while now. So that's my two. Yeah, I like I think Hank is just so fucking good. It's just so much that is so good. It's one of those things where I grew up in the era of Hank. Junior, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's real different. That's real. Yeah. Yeah. And then Hank, the third has also been.

And it's one of those things where it's like nothing against those dudes, but you just get a little sick of hearing about them and it kind of takes a little bit of the magic away from the OG, I guess at that time. You know what I mean? You just get fatigued by the name. I totally understand that. And the antics of other, you know, of relative. Completely, completely get it. And I think that if you, if you like six more miles of the graveyard, you should check out, Wealth Won't Save Your Soul. Wealth won't save your soul. I don't know that it's gonna be the same.

I don't think it's gonna grab you the same way, but I think that it's very good. I think it's very good. It's a good- I'm a good, I'm an admin right now. I think it's a great Hank song. My last two that I've been listening to that I'll throw out there are, um, a friend recommended an album to me called the return to form black magic party by pop Levi.

And it is like a guy heard T Rex and then went, well, fuck man, I want to do that. And so he did. Uh, very glam rock. It's what I call like strutting music. Like you put it on and it's just strut. It sugar assault me now is the the first song on the album. And I think it just kicks off the whole thing. And you go, I fucking great. It is pop.

It's sort of like this pop glam, really glossy from the mid 2000s, I think when people were going, man, David Bowie was like really doing it. And it's like, yeah, you might be late to that one. Yeah. And then, you know, and then listening more and going like, wow, T-Rex was really good.

And it's like, yeah, Mark Bollin was fucking great, man. Mark Bollin, afraid to fly so he drove everywhere, died in a car accident. I didn't know that. Bummer for T-Rex, Bummer. Great band, I think T-Rex probably one of my favorite bands of all time, so that's probably the draw there for Pop Levi.

And then another band that I really like this album called Rat saw God. It's a band called Wednesday. It has trying to think of how to describe the sound. Cause you, if you listen to the first track on the album and then like the sixth track on the album, shockingly different. It starts this, uh, the first song is called Hot Rotten Grass Smell. And it sounds like,

it sounds like they've been listening to a lot of the smashing pumpkins. It's a band that's sort of like, oh, fuck you, it just really sounds very smashing pumpkins heavy. And then you get deeper in the album, and it is this alt country that I was not anticipating. I grabbed it, like I started listening to it because of that first track. And it is this alt country that I was not anticipating. I grabbed it, like I started listening to it because of that first track,

because I thought, oh, fuck yeah, man. I like that smashing pumpkin sound I think is so cool. And then I listened to the rest of the album and it blew me away. How much I enjoyed it. It is this sort of blue, bluegrass isn't maybe the right term, but like this alt country, a little bit steel guitar,

that man, I just really, really, really enjoyed. And the album came out, I think last year, Rat Saw God by Wednesday is- I added three songs, the first song and then like two from the middle. Yeah, check them out. Cause I think that the first song and then like two from the middle. Yeah, check them out because I think I think that. The first track and the rest of the album,

they do not go together, but it doesn't matter that it's all so good that I really I just really, really, really enjoy it. So it's you. A lot of I thought for a second you were talking about the band Death on Wednesday. But you were not. You're talking about the band Wednesday., but that's on Wednesday was a good band to if you ever listen listen to song demons by them If you want to listen to like what it would sound like if Morrissey played hardcore Ah finally my questions answer Also, I've just been listening to Steely Dan. It's all I listen to anyway

Hell yeah, dude if I'm ever like engine crotchy if I ever go like I don't know what I want to listen to Steely Dan. It's all I listen to anyway. Hell yeah, dude. If I'm ever like, in Jim Croci, if I ever go like, oh, I don't know what I wanna listen to, it's, those are kind of like the defaults. Easy. Can I tell you something crazy I just learned about Steely Dan, and maybe we can end on this. Please? Yeah. I just learned that in college,

up at Bard University, Chevy Chase, before he worked at SNL, was a drummer in a band with those two dudes. And when he left to go to New York to pursue comedy, they renamed the band Steely Dan. So Chevy Chase was the original drummer, essentially in Steely Dan. Yeah, I don't think he would have been the drummer for very long in Steely Dan.

Steely Dan sort of like, were notorious for, okay, and we're going to do 125 takes because we need this to be like, jazz perfect. And I think that was, you know, Walter Becker and Donald Fagan were just very much those guys. But I think that Chevy Chase was probably jamming with them and then was like, yeah, man, he was almost in Steely Dan if they would have kept going. Fucking wild, wild, wild, wild.

So I think that's great. He also, I read he got kicked out of Bard University, which was why he moved to New York, because he was keeping a live cow in his dorm room. Boy, that sounds very 70s college shenanigans. What a weird guy. Yeah, what a weird strange guy. Well, I think that might do it for this episode,

non-episode, non-canon, I think Gus calls them non-canon episodes of, of ANMA. But if you want more ANMA, we'll have more for you next week, maybe something out and about a little bit different. And then in two weeks, we'll be back with another eight episodes of ANMA, one every week coming your way,

where we're reviewing hamburgers. We're reviewing, I think, probably brisket. I think, you know, there's just a lot going on. So check it out. It is a lot going on. And I know that Gus is there, and that can be a bit of a detractor for some of you. But if you can make it through these eight episodes,

there'll be another two that are just Eric and I. Yeah, so if you can make it through these eight episodes, there'll be another two that are just Eric and I. Yeah. So if you can, if you can just stomach those eight episodes and let some friends know about it to see if they can stomach it. See if they can stomach it as well.
