There's no place to escape to. This is the last stop on the left side story.
That's when the cannibalism started. Side stories. Yes.
Lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy, look who feels 40. That's me.
It's me. It's me. Lordy, lordy, lordy, look who feels 40. It's me. That's a great rhyme,
but you're not even close to 40. You're 37. Yeah, I'm a whole, just a, I am a precocious
student's college career away from being 40. That's amazing. It's fine. I am 39 and hold.
I'm five months away from being 40 and that's how we're going to start this episode,
middle this episode and end this episode. What's it like? Well, I got to say you one thing.
I heard life begins at 40. You know who said that? John Lennon. And then you know what happened to
John Lennon. Bam, bam, bam, bam. Yeah, kill me every time. Can we trust anything that man said?
I don't think so except for imagine if there's no heaven. It's easy if you try. You can think it.
You can think it, although once you are truly sad, like when the celebrities sang imagine,
you realize when everything was going wrong with COVID, you realize that that message for COVID was
horrible because people probably needed a little something to have faith in. But then he was like,
imagine nothing is real. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's like, so in a way, it's like when people do
that thing, which I understand, I know friends that have, and people that like run to like Buddhism
or the things where things don't exist outside of their own mind. Transcendental meditation.
Simulation theory. I do like a trend, a TM does work for people. But it's like things like
simulation theory. It's supposed to kind of be anxiety relieving because you're like,
nothing is real. But then also that inherent idea is actually very terrifying.
Absolutely. Did somebody just hit the X button on a remote control in a parallel universe to
make me have to take a dump right now? But honestly, at the same time, I understand that
there nothing is real. We are just a collection of clouds of atoms, and you just have to change
your fucking atoms, bro. You can control your atoms however you want to control them to make
yourself better or worse. Welcome to side stories, everyone. I am Ben hanging out with Henry.
Or worse. Or worse. We are having a great time together today. I hope everyone is,
of course, I hope everyone is doing well out there, hanging in there. If you've gotten your
shots, congratulations. And if you haven't, well, it's coming up around the corner. So
stay safe and stay positive because we are almost through this G D thing. Close. We're getting close.
Bagley close. But you know who didn't get close? Who? Just come down to people right now. They're
hungry for content. Yeah. We're at the end of the quarantine. People are still, still deeply
hungry for, deeply, deeply, deeply hungry for content. Well, they need it to make themselves
feel happy sometimes. And we all, we're kind of chasing that, oh, don't we want to just go viral?
You remember that? I don't know. Going viral is taken on a different term in COVID, I will say.
Definitely. Because it's not so good anymore. We were watching last night, we were watching the
new stand show on CB, whatever, the stand. And it's just, it is not triggering, but it's definitely
very, the way they show you get sick in the stand is someone goes, whoa. You're like, that's it?
Now you're an enemy of the state. Yep. Oh my. But people want to be, you know, people want to be
superstars. And sometimes it doesn't really work out. And you think that during this, everyone says,
oh, during COVID, everybody's got time to like come up with new fun ideas, you know,
because we're not working. It isn't fun. If you don't have the weight of like making all that
money come in, then you have, you're definitely able to express yourself more freely creatively.
Well, that's why all of those people who are extremely successful, extremely wealthy, who
mostly just did yoga at home already can go on Twitter and say, I hope you learned a language
this past year. And it's like, I'm gonna go insane. But this guy was also wrong. This is
rapper charged with chopping off British teachers penis to make a gory YouTube video. This is my
grandkely from the independent. I don't. Why? First of all, again, thank you all so much for
watching the last room on the left. I my eye is better after after drinking a bit of it. You're
insane. You're an idiot. But I'm just going to say this, if he's not banned from YouTube,
I don't know what their terms of services are. I don't know what they're doing.
A Spanish rapper has gone on trial accused of cutting off a British teacher's penis
with a 12 inch kitchen knife for and this is the I forget who paid. I believe that the man
paid the the man who cut the penis paid the man with the penis 173 pounds. It's about 200 a euro
in a deal so that the victim could get hits from the gory video on YouTube. Okay, so hold on a
second. So Aaron Beltran, that is the rapper, the graduate student that had his penis cut off as
Andrew Breach, he thought his dick was only worth 200 euro. It's it and he thought that he was going
to be able to monetize this in a way to make his money back 10 fold. Aaron Beltran allegedly made
the agreement with Oxford University graduate Andrew Beach, who agreed to pay the accused. Oh,
it's yes. So Andrew Beach wanted to pay the man who cut his penis 173 pounds depending on how many
times the amputation video was shared on social media. The fee ranged from 173 pounds to a maximum
of 2164 pounds. So why is the rapper the one who is being charged here? I understand he cut off the
British teacher's penis. Also, British teacher and rapper really don't matter. It's penis cutter
and penis cutty. Yes. That really is how the headline should read. It seems like the guy wanted
it to happen. It's extremely confusing. Beltran now faces up to four years and six months if he is
six months if he's found guilty for snipping for snipping this man's penis off. I do have to clarify
one thing, 12 inch knife. This guy may have had a hog on him. I mean, that's a big ass knife. You
could cut my dick off. I don't want to like, oh, humble brag, inch and a half long knife. You can
carry the knife that it would require to cut my penis off in New York City legally. You can take
it on a plane. Yes. You could take that a 12 inch knife to cut off a dung. Isn't that that's like
bringing a bazooka to a gunfight. That is a big ass knife for cutting such a theoretically
tinier thing. It might be overkill. A police officer told the court he found Mr. Breach, 35,
who worked at, I don't know, why throw his age in there, who worked at a language academy in
Zaragoza, bleeding heavily in the city center. And this is where we're going to learn today how
to say, I don't want my penis anymore, kids. Sir, like no me da la penga. I don't know if that's
true. Nailed it. The officer who was not named said he went to the house that Britain shared
with Mr. Belchin. So they were roommates. Where the accused told him that the teacher's penis had
been severed and dumped in a rubbish bag. Another officer said, when interviewed, the victim in
hospital told us that the accused cut off his penis. Andrew said he did not feel 100% a man
and he wanted to get rid of his penis. So he was voluntarily getting rid of his penis again.
There are a lot of safer ways to get rid of the penis. Please don't blame that the scene from the
movie Desperate Living, when she got the penis and then cut it off with a pair of scissors.
Just be safe because I heard there's a lot of blood down there. It's difficult to do,
apparently, because I don't know, I don't know in the UK what is, what insurance covers, right,
in terms of if you're trying to get rid of it. More than we got. That's for damn sure. Yes.
He agreed to a deal with the accused to pay him 200 pounds, which depend on how many views the
video the amputation received on YouTube. It was done on the basis of this. The British teacher
subscribed to a website and he was looking for someone to film him mutilating himself. So he
was actually, so this comes from the British teacher. We actually have, I feel like this is
the fourth or third story we've covered in the past about 12 months with a fetish like this.
Yes. So, but the interesting thing is to this story, most people don't want to monetize when
they've cut off a limb or cut off their penis or whatever it is. But this guy, I guess he was
trying to double dip with my dick and let me also become famous or become a YouTube celebrity.
Can you monetize a dick getting cut off on YouTube? I don't know. It's nice work if you can get it.
But I wonder if he, like it's, it is interesting because they did think that this was going to be
a phenomenon and I don't think that they understand that YouTube, they can't monetize this.
I don't know how they would. I also don't know if there's a massive market for it. I would have
seen what there is. I don't know. I'm certain there is, but Mr. Breach, he told the court that
actually he had cut off his own penis, contradicting an earlier sworn statement in which he said
Beltran carried out the amputation. He said, I cut off my own penis, I was on whale, it was myself.
Mr. Breach didn't say he made a statement to police that Beltran had sliced off his penis
because he felt under pressure from officers. And it is possible that Beltran did slice off
his penis. I can't imagine. We're not all those surgeons that did surgery on themselves in front
of the hall during the university testing of when they were working on medicine and they would do
self-surgery. I have a feeling Beltran did it. This fellow, Breach, was trying to protect him
and said, no, I did it. But of course, Beltran is still taking the fall and it turns out this guy,
and despite that, the prosecutors have said, yes, even if he wanted his ding dong cut off,
you can't do it. So the prosecutors are still prosecuting.
Why? That's weird though, right? I wonder why. Isn't it voluntary? Why do we have to be so upset?
This is why never call the police unless it is dire because you will not get to drop the,
you won't be able to drop charges. You can't set your own narrative.
No, parents used to call the police in the 80s and the 90s. Maybe this is just a made up story
from a fantastical past that I'm creating in my head. But I believe they used to be able to do that
as a lesson to the kids. Cut off your penis? No, just call the police. They'd be like, oh,
please, we'll give you a stern talk. I remember that. Honestly, that had happened,
not to me, but I had friends that had happened to where they come in, the cops came,
put the dude in handcuffs. Do you see what could happen? It's true. And I had that happen to me
as a little boy when I was faking running into the store next door to where we went to the church.
We went to this all-non-denominational church. I know one of your fake churches where you don't
make a choice. We don't choose a side church. I went into the bodega next to that church with a
guitar amplifier strapped to my chest and I said, I had a bomb, right? I thought it was really funny
and everyone like, you know, the guy wasn't like that amused. No one reacted. Then the cops came
and they did a whole thing. They put me in the back where they were like, this is what happens
to a terrorist, but not really because a terrorist gets, you know, really beaten.
Exactly. And now, of course, we had that child who brought a clock to school eight years ago and
he was in trouble and he got actually arrested. So cops, once they arrest somebody, they don't
really care if you want them arrested anymore because now they're on a mission to make sure that
man suffers. But speaking of suffering. But look at this, they had, they popped the penis back on.
Yes. Evidently, surgeons were able to reattach the penis, which is, you can almost see the scene
with any luck. We can reattach it. It's bionic. I now, if I'm this guy, I'm like, oh my god,
now I still have the same penis, which makes me upset. I don't want the penis anymore. I don't
want the penis. And also, couldn't you like make it cool? Like a robo penis, like a robo cock,
like do something with it that's extra special. Toronto Raptors illustration. You could do a whole
series of fun things, but I'm assuming these doctors just put it back on. Yeah, but the penis,
and what I do like is that the independent somehow knows his penis was successfully
reattached during an operation and it is understood to be functionally properly. Well,
he's going to have more work to do in the future and we'll see if this works out for Mr. Breach.
I don't think the YouTube channel is up. I don't think the YouTube video is available.
I don't think he was able to monetize it. It seems like he just got
his roommate slash potential friend in trouble for cutting off his own penis. But you know what?
His buddy's a rapper and you don't have to go to prison to have credit as a rapper. That's actually
a myth. You can also just be very talented. No need for prison. I highly recommend against it,
if possible. But his home castration, the type of crime that rappers brag about in song.
Well, he can now and he can also talk about potentially four years in the clink. So, perhaps
this catapults the rapper's career. The man, the ding dong, now that we know he doesn't want it,
hopefully he can take care of these things in more appropriate manners.
He did hard time, got coffee, cutting dicks. Yeah. It didn't really have him with the chicks.
You are a horrible rapper and I'm sad that that happened. I am really upset with myself.
That's that story. So, if you want to get your ding dong cut off, please God. I don't even know
how to do it. I don't know how to do it. Cut a penis off? I don't know. I just started the base.
No, I'm above the balls. I want the person who is doing it. If I really want them to do it,
I want them to be safe. But how do you set a contract? It just seems like the law doesn't
care about this deal that I've made with a consenting partner. And again, that's government
overreach. You know, body mod people might be able to do this. I'd actually trust somebody who does
like one of those things where they make the, you know, they put like the lumps under the skin.
I have seen some body mod penises in my day. Have fun with it. Where are you seeing them?
You can go on websites. You just look up the term body mod penis. You can. I'm going to do it.
Yeah. Look it up. No, I know exactly what it's going to look. It's going to do it. Look a body
mod penis. It looks like when you when you overcook a hot dog and it busts open on the penis splitting.
I don't like that. That's it. That's body mod penis. Oh, wow. Look at the texture that that penis
got. Oh, yeah. That is very interesting. Oh, wow. That one is very, oh, look at that. Well,
you can do so much with a penis. And we're just letting ours be all weird and I guess we're only
using 10% of the penis. Is that what they're saying? I guess so. This man has, um, wow, we wow.
Holy hell. But just his penis is very. That's not, that's 10% of his body weight. Yeah. It looks
like a clams foot. All right. Well, let's let's move on. I hate that I looked at this. I'm really
very upset. Speaking of feet, this is actually going to be our final story before we have our
fantastic interview with Prince Midnight. Our hero of the week. We actually got him. We're starting
to build. We're starting to build the pack around us. I realize I should have said that earlier on
on the show, just letting people know we have an interview with Prince Midnight. That'll be. He came
on to settle the score and say that he, he is maybe is not these other men. He was fantastic.
We talked with him about his uncle's bone guitar. We got the story. Surprisingly,
sweet tale actually. There's something about metalheads. As we talked about, the more aggressive
the music that someone likes, usually just the sweeter they are in real life. They're very,
they're almost like quaint sometimes, but then some of them, then they begin to believe that
they're super evil. Yeah. Then there's also that aspect. Oh, don't even break. Speaking of YouTube,
I think he's still on there, isn't he? All right. Well, this tale, this comes from beautiful
Australia. So a woman, she cut off speaking, we're talking only about people who cut things off
today. Yep. She cut off her own foot to trick police into thinking she was dead. Why was it?
What's the point of it? This is something that we're not really sure about. She has been accused
of fraud. Her name is Melissa Caddock. She's 49. She vanished November 11th of last year.
This is why it's because she apparently scammed 68 investors out of $14 million and then just
straight up vanished. So she is quite a bit in trouble and she's lucky she only lost a foot.
So the day after this scam, everyone was like, this isn't good. She disappeared. It's under
investigation. They found this foot wearing an ASIC shoe. Good plug. Good plug for ASICs.
But then they said something seems strange because no more remains were found. And usually,
if you find a foot, you would say there's a leg which goes up to a torso. This actually
happens a lot. This was happening a lot in Mexico. Well, you know why that was. Why?
They said that those were suicide victims. That was one theory. That was one theory. Yeah.
Because they said at some point it just washes up on shore, which is a great gift for the kids.
They are theorizing. They said like, there's always a chance she cut her foot off and is
still alive. They were pretty fanciful. Which is, I mean, who knows? Because you're looking at this
thing. We look at this. She was a fraud artist. I guess. She was accused of fraud.
She apparently, because they went looking for her, corporate watchdog ASIC executed a search warrant
for her luxury $3 million home. She's accused of swindling more than $14 million worth of
investor's funds and leaving 68 victims of fraud in her wake. She disappeared. And yeah, man,
she could have lost that foot. She could have thrown that foot out that window.
She definitely had a life. She had a husband. She had like a lot of stuff going on. But apparently,
she made too many mistakes and she had to cut off her own foot and run away.
Got to cut that weight, man. And it's like, see here, it's not common to see body parts wash
up so far south of Sydney. And in such good condition, given she went missing on or about
November 11. This is now. And then the coroner keeps saying, it's not to say it can't happen.
The coroner will make further determinations. But they're saying that, yeah, this thing
should have been floating in the water since November and it's now March. And then when
they found the foot, it was fairly fresh. And she is a 49-year-old and everyone said,
well, I guess we're satisfied that she's dead. Oh, but I don't think that's the case.
So a severed foot, it was a great throw off, but the search was called off last week
because Mr. Fuller said the foot could have been planted to end public and police interest in the
case. This is what he had to say. This is her husband. He says, of all the beaches and feet in
the world to find hers, what is the probability of that? Literally, of all at some point in your
life, if you're like, you're going to have to say the sentence of all the beaches and feet in the
world to find hers, what's the probability of that? He fell in love with that foot. Yeah,
it does. That foot just rolled into my life because it's nothing like a man without a foot.
Honestly, I was half a man. But now that I have this severed foot, I'm a full-on police officer.
So her husband seems to think that he's dead, but is he just part of the deception
so that she can go live a life? But I'm just going to say this. All you have to do
is find the woman with one foot. You know, the story of the one-armed man,
she really gave herself a big thing that's so very noticeable, isn't it? You could stuff a foot,
you could stuff it with, you could get a fake foot. I don't know how fast you can get a fake
foot, but you probably can. She already stole, she had the money, she took all the money. They're
saying that she might have jumped from a cliff that was very close to her offices, which might,
I mean, that does sound fairly like it's, you know, simple. They didn't find her though.
They didn't find the rest of her, but you're saying exactly what you said about the other,
the feet going in the hands happening in Mexico, washing up on the shore, that does sound like
technically cuts directly to suicide. The search for the 49-year-old was called off last week,
but Mr. Friller said that the foot could have been planted to end public and police interest
in the case. There was a radio interview that it follows Roto Coletti, the father of Caddick's
husband's Anthony. Caddick's husband Anthony, so her husband's grandfather, but by marriage.
They're saying they want to clear the husband of any sort of wrongdoing,
and they're just basically saying, we think that she committed suicide.
Okay, we don't know. The foot was washed up. I think it's possible she cut it off and now she's on
not the run, but on the hobble. Her husband got actually brought into this shit because Mr.
Coletti was unwittingly implicated in Caddick's scheme by his signature being forged to verify
bogus documents. So she had pulled him into this bullshit as well. You know, it's kind of sad.
I mean, I never really want to do it, but the probability or the possibility,
everyone is always fantasized about just getting away. Oh yeah. But you can't do it really anymore.
No. I mean, especially not if you pepper the entire place with your limbs.
I mean, that's what's hard. That's an actual human breadcrumbs.
Right. But you know what? The more I think about this story, $14 million in debt,
probably looking at some severe prison time, and maybe she just took her own life.
She might have just done it. She might have just jumped. She's got big arms.
But isn't that the gift? I mean, like she did a lot of arm work. She's lifting a lot of weights.
That's why if you, that's why you should always have nice shoes just in case you swindle people
out of $14 million and you need to jump off of a cliff. That's how they knew is that it was actually
a fairly like high end. It was like one of those limited run ASIC shoes. So it was like a fancy
shoe like we got. All right. So we don't know what the hell is going on with her, but be careful
out there. And I'm sorry, if you want to get away, it's just not as easy as it used to be also.
It's not. Unless you want to be on the show fraudsters hosted by our boys. Yep.
Don't steal $14 million. Please don't steal $14 million. Or if you do,
give it to the children. Give it to the children. That's a Peter pan? No, that is
Michael Jackson. He gave it to the children. No, Robin Hood. Oh yeah. He got it. Batman molested
him as well. That is not true. All right. Well, I think we should get to our conversation
with Mr. Prince Midnight. Let's get to the bottom. All right. So Prince Midnight, this is,
I'm going to say, what is that that I just put on my our investigative reporter caps?
Yep. Wow. It's very tall because it's very tall. It's like a stovepipe cap. I give you
some credit for this interview though, Henry, because we're talking, we're chitchat and you'll
be listening to it. And then Henry Zabrowski comes in with the hard question. Yep.
Got your journalism. It was great. Got your journalism. And he didn't seem to be got,
but no, but he felt he saw that I asked the question. Yeah, we were like, Dian Sawyer.
I felt like that. But same cup size. Enjoy this conversation with the hero of the week,
Prince Midnight. And if you want to see a portion of the video, you can go to our Patreon. We
didn't realize that Prince Midnight was going to put on a fucking show. It's in full makeup with
his band. They're all awesome. So check out our Patreon. If you want to see the conversation we
have with Prince Midnight, it is awesome. All right, let's get to the conversation.
So all right, everyone, we have talked extensively about this guy. Yes. And he came to prominence,
dare I say fame, when he supposedly made a guitar out of his... Don't supposedly in front of the
man. Okay. Okay. Made a guitar out of his uncle's bones. Yes. And we talked about it. So we are
honored to have with us now Prince Midnight. And it's not just Prince Midnight. We are also with
Prince Midnight's two wonderful, I'm assuming Minions. Minion is that that seems insulting to
a very large man. No, it's very nice. Prince Midnight, thanks for being with us. Yeah, man.
Happy to be here. We got Chris over here. He was my drummer. And this is a Belfagore.
And Belfagore is a guitar player in the band. Even though I built the guitar,
you know, I'm more of a mallet percussionist than a vocalist. So he's got, so he's got it swinging
around his neck right now. Dude, we have to separate because sometimes we can't all be masters of
everything. Right. Of course, you have to delineate some of the responsibilities of the band.
Yeah. Yeah. So me and me and Chris recorded that record. And we've played with Belfagore before. So
he signed up and now we're just we're waiting for opportunities to start playing shows, you know.
Dude, honestly, I feel like as things come up because the name, what is the name of the band?
Is it Prince Midnight? Is that the name of the band? Prince Midnight is me, but it's also a band.
And, you know, it's the man and the brand. Yeah. It's on the man and the band.
I love it, man. It means so much. And honestly, was that Possum, the taxidermied Possum that I
believe Chris? It's not taxidermied. That's a live Possum. That is a live. That is a real Possum,
buddy. And I tell you what, man, it is so well-behaved. Well, they play Possum, you know, so.
That's incredible. That's what they do. So Prince Midnight, we've got to talk to you because in Florida,
there's been a lot of investigative reporting going on. I'm a Florida boy.
My family is from Clearwater. I'm excited to talk to a hometown hero.
Hometown hero to say the least. But Prince Midnight, let's just maybe just start with,
how did you become Prince Midnight? Yeah, what? How does a man, a former man,
a former man go to become, I mean, honestly, like fall in love with fucking heavy metal
and adopt the moniker of Prince Midnight? So Prince Midnight started, it was quite a long
time ago. And we, I got to give a display where do not do this. But there's a plant in Florida
called the Angels trumpet. Angels trumpet, man. Yes. So I boiled this flower and I drank it with
this other guy. It was a terrible idea. So I was riding my bike down the road and I fell into a ditch.
It was a complete disaster. But when this happened, I got up and I pulled myself and I went to the
local bar and I was just out of my mind. They threw me out and I met this chick in the alleyway
and we fell fast in lust, let's just say. Very nice. And she revealed to me that she was a demon.
And so it happens. It does happen. I've had several women tell me that they're demons. Well,
this one, let's just say revealed her wings and the shadow cast over me as I was laying on my back
and it was quite dramatic actually. Oh my, were her wings the labia? Maybe that's the labia.
That's a good one. But no, they were actually, they were owl wings and she turned out to be an
infernal demon named Andros who is, appears both male and female, but she appeared to me as a female.
One of the highest level demons. That is actually true. I know that it's a high level demon.
Yeah, high level. Andros is a Duke. I think she has about 40 infernal legions of demons under
control. So the record is really just the telling of the story. And I could go through every song,
but it is a concept album that tells the story of my journey on Angel's trumpet,
which I woke up in a hospital about three days later. And then I wrote down what happened and
that's the reality that this album is written based on. That's incredible. All of the albums
start with being in the hospital, I think. Some of them do. I had a friend that did Angel's trumpets
and woke to them covering themselves in bleach and a bed in bleach because they believe it had
been entirely covered in cockroaches. It's one of those fun things. I don't know. I guess I'm
totally misunderstanding what the, what is it? The horny trumpet? What's it called? It's Angel's
trumpet. It's an extremely powerful psychedelic. It makes acid, peyote, all that stuff look like
child's play. It really throws you through a hoop for a few days, you know.
Absolutely. He almost got married to a demon. That is incredible. What a hell of a drug,
hell of a drug. So you woke up in the hospital bed. I'm assuming that you're extremely traumatized.
And then at what point did you decide to put together this unbelievable collaboration
of musical genius? Yeah. How do you start to go? How do you, how does the idea get burned of taking
a skeleton and putting it into a guitar? This album came about, I was in a great depression as,
you know, many episodes of experience. It was the first one I would call, you know, a clinical
depression. Like, I had trouble getting out of bed. I couldn't put on smile on my face. Yes.
And my partner bought me of all things. And maybe this goes to show how well they know me,
bought a xylophone, and I got obsessed with it. And I would play it constantly. And I just would
not put it down. And then finally, I was like, I want to upgrade this. I want, I want to get a
steel marimba or a vibraphone. So then I got a vibraphone. So then I started exploring
all the great vibraphone ensembles in the jazz scene, like you got Les Baxter, you got Arthur
Lyman. Dave Brubeck. Yeah, yeah. So I started playing that. I started playing with some kind of,
some, some jazz people who I really respected. I had some cool opportunities and they just kind
of didn't flesh out. So I said, I'm going to make my own record. And having explored vibraphone music
quite a bit. I know no one had ever created a heavy metal record on a vibraphone, which is the most
heavy metal instrument, right? It's literally all metal. What's more metal? I love it. So you're
a very physically heavy instrument. I just love also talk about a genius. You are a genius Prince
Midnight. That's who we're talking to right now. You said more metal. It's more like nine minute
abs, six, five minute abs, more metal. You brought more metal to metal is just that is genius. Yeah.
Yeah. So, so I'm really proud of that record, composed it, released it. It's the first vibraphone
heavy metal record. So I hope you enjoyed it. I think it's not like any other record ever created
and it's a no man. I know I like that idea that it's earnest. Yeah. Yeah. You're going for it.
Yeah. A couple articles made it seem like, oh, this guy whipped together a record. I'm like,
dude, I spent like a year orchestrating that has like live violin, vibraphone, timpani. I mean,
it's, it's, I'm really proud of it. So yeah, people think we're just two fucking stupid fat
bodied morons in front of fucking microphones. You know what I mean? And they don't understand the
process that we have. Who we are as artists. I mean, you know, I am being facetious, but also
sure there is a process here. No, I get it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. People think they can pick up a mic
and do a podcast, but they're wrong. I was leaning on a box that just collapsed under my weight.
We saw that happen. You don't got to bust. You don't got to bust the mystery, man. You could have
fallen on a pile of bounce. You just collapse. Well, let's speak up. Let's speak about bones.
So obviously there's been a lot of talk about the, about the skeleton guitar. Yes. And people,
there's a controversy about it. People want to poke holes in the story, which I can actually,
I'm kind of, I get a little miffed about because I love legend. Of course. And I know that you've
actually talked about this before on Instagram. Actually, you said that you would like to thank
the U.S. State Department for helping me understand the process when it comes to music. Was that or
what did the U.S. State Department help you understand? My uncle Phillips remains, only
came into my life recently. Some other interviewers talk to me as if like I've been their caretaker
for the last 30 years, which I haven't. Okay. So his family took care of that, whatever. He donated
his body to university. They, you know, what they do in college, they scan it or whatever,
use the bones as like a classroom skeleton. Yeah. Over here, you become anonymous when that happens.
But in Greece, they're staunchly grief or Greek Orthodox. So how your remains are disposed of
is a really serious thing. So they keep your name attached to the skeleton. That's nice.
So then the skeleton ends up at the cemetery, which are super overcrowded in Greece because
no one gets cremated because of the aforementioned reasons. So then it ends up in like a mausoleum
type thing where they just have rows of boxes with bones and they charge you every month to
house these. Oh yeah. We have even here, technically, you have to purchase like a slot for your bones
to go in because the capitalism doesn't stop. I'm going to die. I'm getting muddled, muddle me,
muddle me and blow me into the wind. That's what I say. Yeah. So then eventually, you know,
his family didn't want to pay for it or my mom had to start paying for it when his parents passed.
And then she didn't want to pay it anymore. And I'm like, we have to be able to get these
remains. Like, they can't make us, you know, like they can't hold us over our heads forever.
So I called the U.S. State Department. They said you got to get a funeral director
roped in. It's a real convoluted process, a lot of paperwork. And then the remains come.
And the funeral home, I think, thought that this was going to be like a full corpse.
Yeah, like they thought it would be like have meat on it. Well, you know, the funeral directors,
they get so horny for the new corpse and then just a pile of bones coming in. New corpse smells
like money to them. Exactly. And we all go into our careers for different reasons, right? That is
very true. Are you planning on using this guitar? So now, so, because obviously everyone's, they
don't want to believe in the, the, they don't want to believe in the guitar because they don't want
to believe in something that's passed. They're right there. I mean, I'm looking at it up close.
Up close. It does look like bones. Like you can really see the bone, like to it, like,
it's real. Yeah. Yeah. I wish I could touch it. So this is like, this is like paper mache,
I think, or something. Yeah. Where they covered it up. No, this is not real. This is like,
they like filled it in. Right. They fill in the bones. I would assume it, it, maybe it's shattered
in transport. So they've remade it up with paper mache. And so then these are the,
these are all the bones. And this is also paper mache in between the vertebrae. So when you
went to the state department or when you called them and you said, I'm getting a bunch of bones
from Greece, was it? I think it was Greece. Yeah. What was, so that was something that they,
do they do that every day where they just like, Oh yeah, of course, go to our bones department.
How many people die a second? You know what I mean? Like people die out of the country every day
that are US citizens. And they got to go through the same repatriation process, except these funeral
directors who do it are used to getting a body. So right, opens the box. And it's just a skeleton.
And he's like, well, what do you want to do with this? You want to cremate? You want to bury it?
Or like, do you want it? Because they're not obligated to do anything because it's a medically
prepared. So it's like, it's like getting a couch, you know, it doesn't smell or anything, right?
Like it's kind of, it just, is it like antiseptic? Like the way you, I don't know how they prepare
the bones, but I don't, I don't smell anything on it or anything. And so it's quite a, it's quite
a leap to get the bones. You got the bones all the way from Greece. Sure. You're going through
the proper steps. You went to the US State Department to get the damn thing. You opened
up the pile of bones. The guys all like, I wish it was human flesh for me to play with.
And you're like, no, I'm going to take that. And then what triggered in your mind to say,
not only will I take this, I'm going to make this the world's sickest freaking guitar.
So one thing is the state attorney's office who's separate from the US, whatever, they're due to
different departments. They told, they were called me back and they told me that I was allowed to
have it because everyone's like, you're not allowed to have it. I'm allowed to have it,
but I'm not allowed to do anything with it. I'm not allowed to trade it for, for anything. I'm
not allowed to sell it or get a favor for it. So they say, it's always, it doesn't, the term he
used was valuable compensation. He says, if you don't exchange it for valuable compensation,
you are permitted to keep this, to keep the skeleton. Okay. And so then you're like, well,
the most metal fucking thing in the world would be turned, turn this into a fucking guitar.
Yeah, yeah. Uncle Philip was super big metalhead. I was a little kid in like the nineties in the
death metal scene. There was also a big underground grind core and hardcore punk scene,
you know, like asset reversal, a man, scrub with all these underground like metal bands that put,
you know, they played in like warehouses and stuff. And yeah, yeah, scrotum grinder. They're
another one. Yeah. Yeah, I bet dude. I love it. No, fuck it dude. No, this is, I'm inspired by
this story because I love the idea of trying to, I think heavy metal should be fucking heavy. I like
the idea of coming like, Watane, when you go to that, you will get covered in actual blood.
Yeah, pig's blood. I sit in the back. Yes. Because I wear, my jays are too nice.
I won't even sit front rowing now at a weird Al concert, let alone something like where I'll
get covered in pigs blood. But I like the concept of it so much because I like the idea of people
being afraid to go to a concert. Well, speaking of fear, have you found these bones to be haunted at
all? Because usually, or sometimes when you bring in something different, especially something
that had a traumatic end, because I'm reading here about your uncle Philip, RIP by the way,
truthfully, it's the Philip guitar. Yes. He was killed. It was a car accident, I believe.
And yeah, he died in Greece in a car accident. I feel like that happens a lot in Greece. It
sounds like they have a lot of squiggly streets there. It's a small streets because they're
ancient. Yeah. Skinny people because of all the olive oil. That is true. They're beautiful people.
Did you find the bones when you opened up the box? Were they shattered at all or were you just
like, this is perfect for a guitar right away? I mean, this is a crazy thing to make into a guitar.
So I got the box. It was a big, huge box and it was mostly padding. When I got down to it,
the bones were a small kind of all mashed together. But the skeleton right here, the skeleton was all
still together. The ribs down to the pelvis and everything else has been kind of disassembled.
And I had it laying in my room and I was just hanging out and I was just listening to heavy
metal thinking about Uncle Phil. And I was like, man, what is the best way to honor this dude?
And I'm thinking, oh, maybe if I like go to like the brass mug, which is like a heavy metal bar
and like spread his ashes. And then I'm like, I'm not trying to plug like bars or anything. I'm
just telling you the truth. No, no, of course. We'll be talking about bars all the time.
Iconic to a Tampa metalhead. So of course. Anyway, so I'm thinking of all these ideas.
And then I'm like, man, has anyone made a guitar of a skeleton? So I did some research,
asked a couple of buddies, asked my buddy who works at Dean Guitars.
And they're all come back to me to go, no one's ever done it. And I'm like, why not? And then
I can give you like a couple of reasons why not. But okay. Yeah, I guess there's maybe some ethical
I guess I would do this really heavy metal. I don't know. I thought that was the whole point.
This is a very actually, this is a very sweet way to honor your Uncle Philip.
Yeah. So the Dean Guitars friend of mine, who I'm not going to name because he kind of got,
he bugged out, he didn't want to, he got his hands on it and he was like, dude, I didn't know this
was like real, like you're really doing this. He's like, I can't drill into this. I can't,
he like totally freaked out. He's like, and I think my work will be bummed out. And I'm like,
did your boss play guitar deicide? Like, it's a moral objection, but you know, so,
so he flaked out. And so I tried a bunch of different ways. So what are you, what part of
it? Are you interested how I did it or what? No, I mean, I'm looking at it because it does seem
to be, it's interesting how it, I don't know how it holds acoustics as well. Like that seems to be
the main obstacle. Yeah, because of all the ribs. Yeah, I mean, but truly like normally you want
like a shell that allows the sound to all bounce around. Like it does definitely have a very specific
sound. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, the rest normally guitar resonates in this, you can feel because
you're leaning as you can see, you're kind of like in the rib cage and you're touching a lot of the
bones and they, they shake in a way that's almost like it's alive. It's cool. You know, you see a
Frankenstein and they give me electric shock and it comes to life. This is like the real life version.
I can feel uncle Phil in every chord I play on the guitar. Man, can you imagine? I don't mean
to disparage your, your, honestly, your uncle Phil, but can you imagine if you did all this
and he like had molested you a bunch as a little boy and every single time you played it, it's like
you're bringing him back to life. No, that's not the case. No, I know that that's not the case.
I know that that's not the case. I'm just saying like you imagine like a demon and then he would
be spawned and then he would theoretically re molest him. That's your idea. That was the idea.
I'm just pitching here. That's great. Hey, you know, yeah, that's not my personal story,
but I, you know, thank you, Prince Midnight for even dealing with that. I'm even dealing with that.
I don't want to make this question. No, I don't want to make Belfamore mad at me. I specifically
don't want to make Belfamore upset with me. No, do not. I can't defend you against him.
Please, sir. Anyway, when it comes to the guitar, though, I do have a question. You mentioned
something about how your boy that worked at the guitar store, they're called guitar stores,
right? Sure. The music store. He was like, no, I can't do it. You kind of broke metal then,
right? You sort of like broke. Did the metal community surprise you with people being like,
that's gross? Or were they more just like, that's metal because it's hard to out metal the metal
world? Yes. Yeah. I think one news article I read said before this, the most metal thing was Ozzy
biting the head off of bat. Yeah, dude. He didn't even mean to do that. He thought it was a fake
bat. And now the Skelecaster has outdone him. So, yeah, Ozzy, give me a call, man. I'm your new
Randy Rhodes. All right, baby. Sharon. Yeah, yeah, nailed it. All right. This has not got
your journalism, but I do want to ask you, do you know Odilon Ozare, the man that they're so
the Tampa Bay Tribune has labeled, they said that you might be also not just Prince Midnight,
but you might also be a man named Ozilon Ozare that holds two Guinness World Records for longest
nails and world's longest hat. And I know that I honestly don't think that. I don't think that
shape or form. I don't think that you should be allowed to hold a record for the world's longest
hat because you can just make ads. You're talking to the person who might actually, because the
artist, whoever is an artist, have you ever heard of this man? Do you know this man? The only reason
I've heard about it is because Chris Spada, there's the writer who contacted me from the Tampa Bay
Times. Yes. He mentioned it to me, and I said, dude, that guy doesn't look anything like me.
One, and two, if someone's going to go through the trouble of getting Guinness records,
wouldn't they want you to know about it? I mean, that does hold. That does hold some water.
I look at him because the thing is that both of you are just,
they are, these two people that do kind of live in disguises as well. So you can see how the art
can permutate and change. I don't know him that well. Is he in a disguise? I don't even know.
He's just got his, he's got a fake mustache on. He has got glasses and he's got a wig on. Like,
he does have a long beard wig. He sort of looks like Bob Zamuda. He does look like Bob Zamuda,
and it's also very similar to Bob Zamuda in terms of tactics, in terms of wigs, glasses, mustache.
Bob Zamuda was big and then also Bob Zamuda for many years, Andy Kaufman even stopped being
Tony Clifton. Tony Clifton for many, many years because Bob Zamuda just took over and did the
whole thing, which I think makes him incredibly brilliant. It was brilliant and he got to be
super mean to people and everyone was like, it's Andy and Bob was just like at the end of the show.
He's like, it's just Bob, which is cool. I'm just not, I'm not interested in getting you here
because I honestly like these two men, but I do wish I could have the two of you together
physically fighting each other. We could have both of us on.
We could also, and then there was another person here, there's Justin Arnold.
Justin Arnold, but Justin Arnold has no flair. Justin Arnold seems to be just a man that he,
not at the same level as Prince Midnight is. Well, no one is.
Ozilano Zare, who apparently he's never heard of you, who says that he does, he only listens to
Babs. He does not listen to death metal. So that also puts him out of the running. And Justin Arnold,
he made the two headed crocodile that made the Tampa Bay times. That's what got him because
they didn't like to be, they were upset because they thought they would have a two headed crocodile
on their hands. Right. And then they're just, because, you know, they were also the first ones
to, they were the first ones to call 9-11. So I don't know if that's true. That's true. They
guessed it like two weeks ahead of time. That's so weird. And I was like, why are you doing this
Tampa Bay? How does it feel Prince Midnight to be accused by such a reputable newspaper as the
Tampa Bay Times? Why are you talking about the Tampa Bay Times? Is it good news? Oh, it's just
fantastic. I have, we have to fight, we have to fight for Tampa Bay. How does that make you feel?
Do you feel like as if there's, as if they're trying to steal your identity from you?
The biggest thing that bothered me is because I didn't do, I didn't make this guitar as like a
publicity stunt. No, you did this to be cool as fuck. No, I just did it. I didn't, I didn't
contact all the news to tell about it. They kind of portrayed it as if I did this as a,
as some kind of like stunt. And I'm like, I just posted this on my Instagram. I had,
think I had like 50 followers. Wow. It just kind of, people caught on to it, thought it was a good
idea. And so, you know, I, I read the TVT and I respect Chris Bada. I think he's, you know,
a great writer, but in this case, you know, I think he's wrong. Yeah. And I don't think he put
in any absolute terms in that article. He's just, no, he's, he's floating an idea. And I think
that's really important. But I like, to me, I like the idea of floating an idea and people like,
because who knows, man? Well, is that the job of journalism though? I would argue no.
Wow. So it seems as if Mr. Sparta might not, he might not be on the up and up.
The only thing I'll say is, you know, to say that I did something that great that Odilon did,
maybe would offend Odilon. I don't care. You can, you can tell him that I cured the blind and
turned water in the wine for all I care. But you know, that other, you know, person may be upset
that you took a little away from him. You know, I think that's true. I think Odilon Ozari is a
lot realer than Jesus Christ. I think that's extremely possible. You know what's so amazing?
I'm actually looking at a vice article. We read this in the Tampa Bay Times and these articles,
they are not short. I have read shorter articles on immigration and Supreme Court justice.
There's a lot more investigation into what, into you versus why no one's gotten stimulus
like money. There is so much COVID. Why do you think, why do you think that is? Because,
I mean, you've been talking, you know, you're very, you're full of candor. Why do you think the
media has just seen this and they're just, they're rolling with it? I don't know. I think that's,
you know, I guess at first, you know, I didn't really realize that it would be such a big deal.
But now that I'm here, I'm, you know, obviously it was more profound than the, you know, what
I originally conceived, just trying to honor my uncle privately. And I don't know why they invest
a lot of, you saying the articles are real long. I don't know. I skimmed through it and
I tell you what, man, you got us to listen to the album. And I honestly think that it's important
is that the idea of having a pure metal idea that cuts through the noise, I think is a very
important right now because I think metal is a, it's helped countless human beings. It's helped me
in my life. Like, you know, how many times I've been through fucking hard times. Well, you're one
of those guys who calms down to metal. Yes. And that's what I've learned. Some of the most chill
dudes, you're like, what's your listening to? And then it's just like, I killed your mother, I killed your mother. I killed your mother. You're like, that's interesting.
It gets out. So I think anything that spreads the fucking sweet word of metal to farther people is
great. I think that's what you're supposed to do. Yeah, man. So congrats. Honestly, that's all I gotta
say is fucking congrats, man. I think that the attention is actually really nice because it's
something creative. You did something creative with something that people maybe necessarily don't
understand. Have your contemporaries been happy with this news or do they think, oh, this is just
a gimmick? Are you getting the, are they, are you getting some blowback for like, oh, he's just a
gimmick. He's a character worker. He's not a real metal guy. No, I mean, I've been going to metal
shows in Tampa since about like 1991. So I don't know how anyone would say that I'm not the real
deal. Technically, he needs to headbutt you if you say that. Absolutely. He has to physically
attack you. I mean, look, I got a concussion on the DS side legion tour. So I've been around for
a couple of years. Do you plan on, do you plan on building an entire kit, an entire like drum set,
a bass guitar, all out of bones? Because that could work. You could get a sweet cow bone.
Yes, it would be fragile because I was going to ask that about the bone guitar. How do you play it
on stage? Like honestly, moving it from back and forth might actually be, but not a good idea.
Bones can be pretty strong though. Yeah, they're not too, too weak. And I built it
so I can put it back together for breaks, you know, sweet. Yeah. I think we haven't played
live with it. So Belford Gore is probably going to play it live. Maybe I'll, maybe I'll jam it on
a little bit. You know, says a Corona. There's not a lot of shows, but I really look forward to
there's going to certainly be a great theatrical element to our show. I love it.
I'd really like to tell the story of traveling to the underworld and fighting demons in performing
arts contexts, you know, with maybe some dancing and acting and trying to incorporate things that
are not traditionally very heavy metal, like the vibraphone. I guess that's kind of like,
that's kind of my goal with my art is, you know, so many people say, I'm going to start a metal band
or I'm going to start a punk band. And they're so rigidly adhered to that. It's like, you should say,
I want to start a band that is metal, but also like, how can I do it in a way no one's done it
before? So that's kind of my, that's the way I'm kind of approaching it all. Metal is a vibe.
You know what I mean? More than anything else. And I think that that's, I appreciate the spirit.
I know I'll fucking see the show. Oh my God, I'd be in the back row because I'm not allowed in
the front row and I'm too big to mush. So I will be in the back with my back against the wall,
but I will love every second of it. It reminds me when I was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at a place
called the Cactus Club, captured by robots. Did you ever see this performance? No. It was a man
who did, it was fantastic. He had a bunch of different robots, obviously, on stage and he told
a story. It was really fun. A lot of Chiquar is like, to me, the ultimate example of it. Like,
this is Guaresque, Guaresque. You could do something like that, but I like the organic nature of the
bones being surrounded by bones and nothing is more metal than bones. And I mean, you know,
except for the vibraphone, except for the vibraphone. You got, you kind of nailed it on the head
because I've seen captured by robots. I was like mid 90s. Yeah. I saw them in 2003. The guy was
already a bit up in age, but he was the sweetest dude and he crushed it. We had so much fun.
Yeah. So I'm like inspired by, you know, people like him and people who put on, do a little bit
of extra for the live show. I think it's fun. And, you know, the guys in Guare, I've met all those
guys before, you know, they do a different thing that I'm looking to do, but they all come from
an underground punk, underground metal underground scene. They're all in great underground bands
in the 80s before Guare. So, you know, they have my respect and their respect to the whole metal
community, despite, you know, maybe being a little tongue in cheek. They're fun. But again, we need,
I think it's nice to pull back some of the veil and we don't have to always be so fucking hard
core walking into these shows because it comes down to being like, it opens up so you can get
like little fat ginger boys that felt weird going because I was afraid at first. And now I know,
Oh, this is actually where I could be accepted as long as I have a denim, my proper battle jacket
than I can. Yeah, man, you're welcome. Yeah. For sure. These scenes are all really welcoming. And
yeah, Richmond work wars from a great heavy metal scene. I've played shows there before,
so hope to go back next year. Well, dude, we can't thank you enough for taking the time.
Absolutely. And rolling with us today, man. And, and Prince Midnight, did you have to say
your final quote here that you gave advice? I found it to be very powerful talking about how
many figures throughout history have all sought physical immortality, but they all died. And
then he says, and then Prince Midnight says, I'd argue that most of them have obtained
more immorality through the legends we tell about them. I would be satisfied with that kind of
immortality. Maybe maybe a part of me will live on forever alongside Philip in the legend of the
Scalic Aster. Fuck yeah, dog. One last thing. We just shot a video. So I'll send that to you guys
when it gets edited. Yes. We filmed, I found a cave that no one knew about in this woods. It's like
a sinkhole. And I mean, it had an opening like this big. So we all squeeze in there. And we
got shot a video with some real talented artists, um, Deke and Gigi. And they got, um, they do a
thing called the sidetracked with a, with a little hyphen D at the end. Anyways, they're like film
artists in Tampa. And I'm super grateful for their participation because we're creating something
pretty, pretty visually crazy, especially I've never played in a cave before. We brought like
generators and like in this cave. I was like, we're going to die in here, man.
No, we've definitely pumped that video, man. Absolutely. Thank you so much, man. Hell yeah.
All right. There it was. Our conversation with Mr. Midnight. What a wonderful man with
wonderful friends. His first name. I'm not sure what his first name is. I don't want to know.
The Balfour Magor. That guy was very Nick. He was. Honestly, again, check out our Patreon if you
want to see them on full regalia. Yeah. On the little screen or big screen or wherever the hell
you're watching the, uh, the, uh, the program on our Patreon, but they were unbelievably sweet.
So fucking sweet. Anywho, we got some emails. Let me just read this one email because we got to
send in. I want you guys to understand that we, you know, we talk about Garfield eats quite a
bit on the show way too much. I don't know how it got there, but apparently there was a whole
reality universe within Garfield eats. So this guy discovered by a listener and this is why
this is why you guys are great. I'm not normally one to do things like write into podcasts,
but I feel like I have fallen down the Garfield eats rabbit hole and I need the whole world to
see what I have seen. Oh my. I am from Toronto, Canada, home of the world's first Garfield themed
restaurant Garfield eats. The restaurant has recently closed. Their food was God awful,
but its owner Nathan Masri has just started his next project. Scooby Doo eats. I was totally
floored by this information because what kind of cycle path opens to cartoon themed restaurants.
So I did some digging. This man, Nathan Masri is quite the character. It turns out he has written
a self-help memoir. He's produced a few films and just recently released an episode for Garfield
eats reality show on his YouTube channel that it's called Masri pictures. The reality show
produced by him follows them around the Garfield theme restaurant he created. He also wrote and
recorded the theme song for the show. The title of the show is love me, feed me, don't leave me with
Nathan Masri. Oh, I can't tell if this man is trolling or if he's a genuine narcissist. I don't
know about that, but he's Nathan Masri at all and all the bullshit. So I want you to hear this song.
Okay. This is for Scooby Doo eats. This is for the, this is now defunct Garfield eats reality
television show. Okay. Love me, feed me, don't leave me. This is not metal. It's got pizzas,
it's got a Garfield cummerbund. Don't leave me. I'm Nathan Masri. I'm the co-founder of Garfield
eats. This is 18 minutes long. Say hello. Oh, he's got a cat. Pizza. The pizza looks horrible.
Some espresso. Villain. Very scary. He is scary. Oh yeah.
Okay. We're in the intro credits here. I'm saying this whole thing. Devin's in there.
It's not horrible. Man, the pizza looks horrible. Wait.
Life is short. Eat now. Garfield. He got it for the commercial. You know what? I think that that's
actually probably, he would be massively sued. Massively, massively sued. By Jim Devis. Absolutely.
Absolutely. And rightfully so actually in a strange way in this case. Well, no matter how bad the food
is, he got a great jingle. He got a great jingle. That's an 18 minute sizzle, which, you know, you
watch him get a show on Peacock. He might. You watch it. I mean, or he's going to murder somebody.
Like he does have a Luca Magnata kind of vibe about him. I think it's just a Botox.
But honestly, you make a good point. He's very smooth. Yeah. Well, guys, we have a lot coming
out of the pipe. Yes, we do. We have next week, March 15th is the opening of LPN Deep Dives Dune
Cast. It's coming to you. I hope that you like it. How are you feeling with Dune? Do you still like
it? Or is it fully in the line of just you load it? I am Dune. You are Dune. Okay. That is just
the only way I can even say it. I just am. I have become Dune. Okay. And then we have March 17th,
St. Patrick's D. Someplace underneath is coming out. And just so you know, be prepared, these
episodes are going to drop on the last podcast feed in Spotify, but they are also going to drop
on their own feeds. We're going to press it, but I just want to get you guys to go check out our
fucking bullshit. Yes. We're working really hard. And we hope that you like our new material. I think
that you guys are going to love it. Everyone does a bang up job. And I hope you guys enjoy the new
content. We got some merch, obviously. We got some new products coming down the pipe. Can't wait to
tell you all about the THC. We'll get that going at some point here in the near future. And also,
we will see you on the road. We'll see you in Grundy County. We got Grundy. We got one more
night Friday. We are coming to you. And again, the shit is very safe. It's outside. We got lucky.
It's outside. We have cordoned off areas per pod so that no one is anywhere near each other,
and we will be far away from each other. It's like we're all going to be at a show,
but we won't see anyone, you know? It's going to be fun. Honestly, I'm incredibly excited.
We are very excited to start our new material and let's get this shit. No idea what the material
will be, but it'll be wonderful. All right, everyone. What will it be? Thank you all so much for
living. Every day. Because unfortunately, because if you don't live every day, you're dead. That is
true. And if you don't laugh every day, it's wasted. That is true. Because if you do spend your life
crying, don't you get thirsty? You would dehydrated. It's all the water. And then honestly, in Dune,
water is very precious. And if you cry for sorry, you're shedding water for the dead, which actually
means quite a bit, especially if you're Paul, you know, the middle of the fucking funeral that you
didn't understand all the things that you had to do, but you have to watch everybody else,
how they act. Because if you don't act in accordance with the freemen, think the way you're
going to act, then they're not going to think that you're the least on Al-Qaib.
That's great. And everything will make sense later after you listen to Dune.
I don't think it will. Okay. And then you have to love. You have to love your job. You know why?
Because if you don't love your job, then no one's going to love it for you.
In Russia, job loves you. All right. Thank you all. This is great.
This is great. Thank you all so much for being with us this week. Hope you're doing all right out
there. Hey, all yourselves. Hey, let's say, magustalations, everybody. Hey, me. Indeed. Be safe.
And pick up an instrument today. Pick up an instrument. If it's yours. Yes. Don't steal an
instrument. Don't steal. Don't steal an instrument from a child. All right. This show is made possible
