Do either of you have knowledge of what cassette tapes they are? I do not. You have to tell me. I do not. You told us not to move it. That is true. But you haven't come in my house prior to this recording, snooping around a little. Well.

You're doing fine. Next to that, Peels, Seltzer. Tape on Thrill Jockey. And this last one, little show. Oh, I'm sorry. Underneath that, M.T. Hall, N.V. is the name of the tape on Pale Master. And last but not least, a wild card I threw in here, Floral Plasm, Unplugged, on Tabs Out, a tape which is U2.

That's right. We're going to know what that one is. Will you, though? What are you getting at here? Will you, though? Because here's. We're going to know what that one is. Will you, though? What are you getting at here? Will you, though? Because here's how we're going to play. You boys are going to... I'm going to be a bit of a game show captain,

a little master of ceremonies. You fellas are going to be the contestants on my game. I'm going to control you like a couple of fucking puppets. Here's how we're going to play. Here's how we're going to play. A little too scary. Are you scared already? I'm extremely scared. Here's how we're going to play. Here's how we're going to play. A little too scary. Are you scared already? I'm extremely scared.

Here's how we're going to play. Ichi, well, first I should say this. Hold on. Ichi, you will start off with two tabs. Here they are. Careful, because they're small. You get two tabs from a cassette tape. What tape is this from?

I believe it's from a sparkling white pressure tape, because he sent me a whole vial of them. You start off with two tabs. You're going to have to guess what tapes these are. Did I make that clear? We're going to put on a cassette tape. One of you is going to go and you're going to have to guess which tape

is being played. Do you get it so far? I'm with you. You're with me? I'll say, Jamie, you'll go first. I'll put in the tape and then we'll start from there. You can use those tabs that you have to take a piece of paper out of the bonus bowl.

Each of these is like a lifeline. It gives you a little something extra. But keep in mind also, there's also one pushpin in the bonus bowl. And it will hurt you and it is sharp and you will bleed. So watch out for the pushpin. Each one one push pin in the bonus bowl and it will hurt you and it is sharp and you will bleed so watch out for this the push pin each one you get right you'll get an extra tab which you can use for the bonus ball if you don't get it right the next person gets a chance to guess it if you guess it

you get the tape but you don't get another tab are Are these directions clear? I think I got it. Ian, do you have it? I think so. You think so? Is it that? Did I explain it all right? I'll learn as I go. I did a good job explaining it.

I'm the same way. I got to learn as I go. Here's what we're going to do. Jamie's going to go first because I just decided that, okay? All right. So wait, what do we get if we win? Oh my God, I haven't even thought about that yet. Oh, jeez.

We'll have to figure that out. Nobody look, though, because I have all the tapes over here. Don't fuck around with the reverb. I'm going to put a tape in. I want you boys to close your eyes, because I don't want you to see what tape I'm putting in here. Plus, I've got to cue it up to something. All right, Jamie, I'm going to press play on this tape.

I'm going to give you a certain amount of time to figure out who it is, to make your guess. Okay. Ready. Ready. Now give me the reverb guess. Okay. Ready. Cassette. Now give me the reverb. Come on.

Ready. Cassette. Go. Yeah, that started perfectly, didn't it? So tell me, Jamie, what are your initial thoughts right now? Turn the tape down a little bit. Okay. What are your initial thoughts right now? Turn the tape down a little bit. Okay. What are your initial thoughts right now?

So my initial thoughts are this might be Tiger Village. What makes you think that? Because it's a little wacky. It is wacky, isn't it? But I don't know. I'm not familiar with all these artists. It's probably not. This one looks like it's very scary.

I was curious if you had already heard the Tiger Village. I have not, actually. You have not. Interesting. Is there anything you're going to just rule out right away? I'm going to rule out Floroplasm. Decrepit. Hussleful.

I'm going to rule out the one that looks like the Public Image Limited box set. The Clone 3. That's a good way to put it. Comes in a little metal tin yep that's clone three three four you're why are you ruling that out because that one just seems like it's going to be like uh like noisy it doesn't sound like this like this kind of music yeah ian how do you feel about without saying anything this isn't your turn to guess

what are you feeling good about what Jamie's doing, or do you feel like he might get it? I mean, I'm on board. I think he's making some good assumptions. But you don't want him to make some good ones. Well, I mean, I can't fault him at the same time. He is your fucking rival, Ian. You haven't told us what we want, what we win.

Death. Death. You get to kill the other person. Well, in that case. No, I'll come up with something. Don't you worry about it. All right, Ian. Or excuse me, Jamie.

Oh, I can't pick them up because it's going to be lighter. It's going to be lighter if it's missing the cassette. Well, they're all missing. I have all the... All the cassettes are over here. I want to take a better look at this one in the computer. This looks like a static bag. Like if you buy RAM.

There is one. And I do buy RAM. I got tons of it. How many megs of RAM do you have? Well, see, I buy it in bulk, so I have a case that I keep out back in the shed. Even through the winter? It's not this day. What makes you say that?

You're ruling out MT Hall now. Interesting. Nah, this one's going to be scary. I'm not... I mean, this... Okay, I'm definitely going to... All right, Jamie, I want you to bring down the tape. Keep it in there, but bring it all the way down.

All the way down. I'll tell you when. Okay, there it is. Jamie, it is time for you to make your decision. What tape are we listening to? I'm going to go with Tiger Village Modern Drummer. Great title, by the way. That's what I think it is time for you to make your decision. What tape are we listening to? I'm going to go with Tiger Village, Modern Drummer. Great title, by the way. That's what I think it is.

You think it's Tiger Village for your first pick, the first tape of the night. Jamie Orlando, you think this is Tiger Village, Modern Drummer on Hasu Mountain. I'm going with that. Final answer. Oh. Jamie, you are wrong. Ian, for a a chance to steal what are we listening to

you you picked up a tape what do you think about it and you only get so long for the follow-ups I'm gonna I'm gonna go with this one from Moss Archive which one is it? Former Airline you're gonna go with Former Airline the name of the tape what is the name of the tape?

Rewritten Memories by the Future. Almost Archive. Ian Franklin. You have gotten it. That was my second guess. Second guesses don't fucking matter, Jamie. Hold on to that tape. Wow.

All right. Mute us out. Let this tape play for a little bit. Fade it up. out let this tape play for a little bit Thank you. Ah. Former Airlines. Almost Archive. That one just came out, I believe. That's pretty sick packaging.

I like the... I forget the other two tapes that came out in this batch, but one had like a red Norelco, a blue Norelco, and then this one with the yellow Norelco with the nice...

I like the calculator font on the side. Yeah, what's that called? There's a name for that. Calculator font. Everybody knows what I mean. Yep. Also archived number 37. That's Masaki Kubo from Tokyo does that project.

Nice. Ian Franklin. Hold on to that, Tim. Oh, yeah. This is mine. That's in your winner's circle. Nice. You got that.

You did not get an extra tab, though, but it is your turn. All right. Let me reach into the stacks here. Boys, close your eyes. I promise not to do anything oh my god I feel like a god fucking god right you know what I'm gonna do this and it's in oh I'm not gonna press play yet all right all right and yes this is your turn are you when i fucking point jamie

ready cassette go here is the next. Get rid of it. A long decay. Here is the second tape. What will it be? Tell me, when you heard that little pop in there, that came in, that wiggly, that alien squiggling in. What did you think? You had the pile of tapes in front of you. A toilet that flushes. What did you think?

What's going through that skull of yours when you're looking at those tapes? Let me take a look at this one. You're picking up that tin. What the hell was that, Jamie? I don't think that's getting recorded. Okay, good. I got an email.

Jamie, I got an email. Warren's hard to play. His Spice Channel's hard to play. I got an email. You're right. It's coming back in. Sounds like that track. This is an interesting one.

You picked up the tin. You looked at it. You put it back down. What do you got there now? The Nate Young tape. Oh, here comes a little bit of a beat, huh? Who was expecting that? I was not expecting that.

That came out of nowhere. God, I made some good picks. Oh, man. That makes it so much harder. So what do you think? Not that beat. So what are you thinking? Oh, there's it so much harder. So what do you... No, not that big. So what are you thinking? Oh, there's that clap.

Damn. Damn, it's sizzling in here. All right, what's this bag? Take my pants off. What else is in this bag? There's like a little key chain. There's like a key chain. Yeah, search that bag if you want to.

That static bag. He already took the RAM out. There's another thing. Put it in his tower desktop. Dude, you're getting a Dell. Loaded up all the RAM out. Put it in his tower desktop. Dude, you're getting a Dell. Loaded up all the motherboard slots. Okay, okay. What do you see there?

You got the empty hall tape on Hail Master. There's some... Oh, the orange thing is connected to the keychain. That's a keychain. It's huge. It's like a three-inch piece of orange plastic with like a telephone

cable attached to it. You're getting a little bit of a bit of a darker industrial vibe from this one. Yeah. Who's this? MT Hall? Yeah, that's what you're holding. That's what I'm holding.

Have you ruled out anything? What are you looking on that table and you're like, nah, not it. You're like, not it, man. Well, it's definitely not this decrepit. Who is this? Hustleful. Hustleful. It's definitely not this.

You're ruling out that hustleful tape, huh? I'm going to also rule out the modern drummer. Tim is out. Tiger Village. You don't think that drumming is modern enough? No. No? That's old school.

It's not the Floral Plasm. All right. We'll rule that one out again. Fair enough. I don't know. Come on, Jamie. Jamie did some overdubs when you were done recording that. So that leaves one, two, three, four, five possibilities.

Oh, boy. All right, I'm going to need you to bring this tape down a little bit, Jamie. The time has come, Ian. Thrill Jockey. You picked up the peels tape on Thrill Jockey. You put it back down. I'm putting it back down. I'm going to need an answer from you.

What are we listening to? I'm going to say it's this clone three, three, four. You think it's the clone three, three, four tape. Is that what you're saying?

Yes. You got it. Wow. Another one. Oh, my gosh. Second one in a row. I'm too good. Second one in a goddamn row, and the crowd is going nuts. Ian.

Jamie, you have got to be worried right now. I'm shamed. You have got to be worried right now. I'm shamed. You have got to be worried right now. How do you feel? I feel great shame upon me and my family. I was going to say, what if your family is listening to this? Oh, my God.

I can't even think years from now, your newborn child listening to this episode and just realizing that their father is a failure. To Ian. Come on, Jamie. All right. Bring it. All right. God damn. That clone 3.

I almost went with that empty hall. Yeah. But then, I don't know. This is a self-release tape in addition of 24. Ooh, starting to pulse. Oh, doctor. His heart rate. This is too scary.

Hmm. Hmm. It said something on this person's band camp. I was looking at it earlier. That was like, hold on, let me just pull it up.

I made a comment to myself and I laughed. So maybe it's funny again. Maybe other people will find humor. It's on the band camp. In the description for this, it says, it's been almost three years in the making. I beat back depression, anxiety, and life to create this. And it's like, Jesus Christ, pull out.

That's sick, though. It is good. Oh, man. Two in a row for Ian Jamie fade this tape down a little bit and I still got my tabs collusion is afoot no collusion you want me to bring it all the way out

clone 3 3 4 attack yeah bring it all the way down bye bye cause I'm worried about you Jamie and you've gotta be worried i know you are a little worried but i can always come back in the clutch you think you can huh i've been known to do it i got worried for a second that that wasn't the tape but it is i know it is look at the uh it's pretty tight oh we should say like you mentioned earlier, the public image limited box set. It comes in a little tin that you might... What are these

tins made for? Like Altoids or something. Lots of Altoids. It's the brand Lots of Altoids. And it's got this tape with this black and white imprint on it. Look at the side.

Look at the side. I thought that was a little ball. What about the side? I like how the side's black and the cover's white. Well, the tape is black. Oh, that's true.

And then the printing is white, but it's a heavy, flooded print. It looks tight. Looks really nice. This tin looks nice. You did a good job. But you know who did

a really good job? Is that Ian? Because you got two points and it's Jamie's turn. You might want to use some of those tabs. Okay. All right, boys, close your goddamn

eyes. I'm going to pick the third tape. What is it going to be? What is it going to be? What am I going to do? You know what? For Jamie? Alright, Jamie. Ian.

You ready for round three? I think I know what it is already did you look now if I found out you fucking looked ready just using game theory I don't know what that is game theory I think it has to do with Gamergate is this part of Gamergate ready cassette go too late too late all right Jamie there Cassette. Go. Too late. Too late.

All right, Jamie, there it is. It's begun. Okay. Oh, this is a little bit, it's not as scary as the last one, huh? I hear synthesizers. Mmm, the ancient instrument of the outsider. Makes you wonder if they're just going to turn one of those knobs, push one of them buttons. All right, so I'm eyeing up this one in the static bag. You're going going to turn one of those knobs, push one of them buttons.

All right, so I'm eyeing up this one in the static bag. You're going back to that bag. Yeah. You love that bag. Love the bag. I want to open it again. I want to give it a smell. What's it smell like?

It smells like fresh ram from my desktop. I love fresh ram. Do you have a desktop? You seem like you would. I don't. I don't. You ashamed? I am. I am't. I don't. You ashamed? I am.

I am. Yeah, there was some shame in that answer. Total shame. Desktop shame. I have a Windows XP Dell computer from 2005 that I'm keeping around. He got a virus. Very fun. Very fun.

Crank this up a little bit. Let's listen to this. Yeah, turn this up. So this MT Hall tape, there's some tracks on it that say remix. Oh yeah? So I wonder if... Is that a clue? I wonder if we flip the tape. Is that allowed? You gotta be fucking kidding me.

Because I want to hear if there's a remix on the B-side. Well, hold on. That would just give it away. You might want to look into the bonus bucket. That's true. I forgot about the lifeline. There's a lif the B side. Well, hold on. Well, hold on. That would just give it away. You might want to look into the bonus bucket. That's true. I forgot about the lifeline. There's a lifeline in there. Also, a pushpin.

Do not forget about the pushpin. It is sharp. It will cut you. Okay, I'm going to do it. I'm going to take a lifeline. Okay, give me a tab. Give me one of your tabs. Okay.

All right. I'll put that in here. Don't lose it. Jamie, without looking, pick a bonus from the bonus bucket. Careful. Ow. What is it?

Okay, this says, remove a cassette for this round. Oh, okay, I'll remove a cassette for this round. What if I just remove the Floral Blasm tape? No. That's mean. All right, I'll remove a cassette. Wait, you get to pick or do I get to pick? Well, how would you know which one to remove? Yeah, Mike gets to pick. I right, I'll remove it. Wait, you get to pick or do I get to pick? Well, how would you know which one to remove?

Yeah, Mike gets to pick. I mean, Jesus Christ, Jamie. What do you think, man? All right, I'm going to remove. You know what? Here's what I'm going to do. You want to see people's fucking head spin and all the listeners go up? Oh, yeah, yeah.

I'm going to remove the empty hall tape. Whoa. Thank you. Wow. The RAM. It's gone. I think I see some collusion here. No collusion.

Okay. Okay. All right. So there's no remixing. Okay. So you know so far there's no remixing. All right. This is a remix.

Jamie, let me ask you a question. How do you know this is not a remix? Because a remix is like... That's a good point. That's a good point. Do it again. That is a remix. This Marsha Fisher tape has a picture of...

It's not Buddha, but it's an Asian sculpture on the front. And this is kind of giving me some... Definitely not Buddha. Some Zen-like vibes. I'm getting some Zen. Oh, yeah? All right. So I might have to go with the Marcia Fisher tape.

You're going to go with the Marcia Fisher tape? Final answer? That's my final answer. Jamie, for you're the pick Oh man Shucks Sorry brother Wrong again

Ian Franklin Here we are once again Here I go again On my own Marsha Fisher, you know is out. Alright, well for me, it really brings it down to two. Alright.

What two does it bring it down to for you? The Nate Young or the peels? You know, I think you gave too much away earlier. You said the peels was an older one. This is giving me a little bit of an older vibe. Oh, that's interesting.

I'm going to go with the peels. What makes it an older vibe for you? It's, uh... Matured with age. It's like a final wine. Well, I mean, I ruled out the others. I don't know too much of Nate Young's stuff. But I have a feeling this is maybe a little too ambient-ish. All right.

So what are you picking? I'm going with the peels. You're going with peels. Seltzer tape. Thrill Jockey. Number 389. Ian for round three. Oh, my goodness.

You fucking got it again, brother. Ian. You fucking got it again. And that crowd is going nuts. You're just killing it tonight, man. You're killing it tonight. Peels Thrill Jockey 389 like I said came out in 2015

this is William Cashin from Future Islands and Bruce Willen from Double Dagger some Baltimore I'm killing the lambing here it's nice what year did you say? 2015

does that sound like a 2015 damn man yeah how did you know that was 25 could you tell us the month in hold on i'm not that good listen to this part and tell me the like tell me the day i don't know yeah i think i'm getting a strong April 20th vibe. Oh, shit. Don't say that in front of Jamie. He doesn't know what it means. Oh, sorry.

Sorry. This is tight. Don't take us out, but let this play. We'll be quiet. This is probably what it sounds like in Jamie's head right now Because he's lost so many It's like a fucking Marbles rolling around in there that's this like transparency that's like glued oh it's like a sticker on the norelco a clear sticker oh wow that's what it is that's not and then the j card underneath of it that's tight

this keeps going too that's a big card so I'm assuming Thrill Jockey doesn't mail stuff into the podcast Do they? I don't know, I assume they do This track is called Time is a Milk Bowl Huh, and that's true Yeah Thrill Jockey is a real professional label Yeah, I don't think they've sent us anything since

I'm sure there was a mix up In the mail room Or like, doesn't someone work there? I don't think they've sent us anything since. I'm sure there was a mix-up in the mail room. Or, like, doesn't someone work there? Friend of the show? Somebody? I don't know. Who cares?

Yeah. All right, let's move on to the next round. Fade this out real nice, Jamie. Do it such a good job when you fade it out. I'm doing a logarithmic fade. Do a real logarithmic fade. It's kind of bumpy in the preamble, but I'll take it.

Watch me just do this. Ian, another one for you. That silver imprinting on that white shell really shines. And now it's Ian's turn again. Sorry to say it. That's okay's okay all right boys close your eyes I'm heating up are you just getting started just getting started all right whose turn is it Ian's right all right let's get right into this and get ready to rumble. We're ready. Cassette. Jesus Christ, way too much. Go. And we're off. What are you thinking? What are you thinking, Mr. Franklin. Turn it up a little bit. Just a touch.

Just like one skittle. Perfect. Logarithmic, Jamie, to the core. Okay. Ian, initial thoughts. Give them to us, big guy. First thought straight away is this is probably Tiger Village. Why do you think that?

Because it's all blippy bloopy. It's got some glitchy drums in there yeah you've been wrong about other stuff though yeah i mean right or actually i'm sorry jamie has gosh so you're thinking tiger village are you like so what is out what is what is it not again this possible tape just seems you stillifal tape just seems like some dark brooding kind of stuff. This is a little bit more upbeat than I would expect for that tape. Okay. What about the one that comes in the static bag? What do you think about that?

I'm getting a more minimalist vibe from this one. You think so? You think when we hear that, we're not going to hear much? You think this is too much? You think this is too much sounds that wouldn't even fit in that bag? You don't think these squiggles would fit in a bag, Ian? It's a big bag. It's a big bag, but it's an Odrito's bag.

But could a squiggle fit in it? Jamie, could a squiggle fit in it? What label is this on that empty hall tape is on the label called pale master you can take it out of the bag and keep in mind you still have oh wait you have three times two times so you have three because you got one you got an extra tab so you can always use a tab if you need to. Oh, shit.

Keep in mind, I will repeat, there is a pushpin in the bonus bowl. Legally, for insurance reasons, I have to remind you. All right, I'm going to use a tab. You're going to use a tab? Yeah. Hand it over. He's got tabs to spare, Jamie. This guy's like fucking Steve Munchen over here

He's just throwing tabs left and right Reach in I hope he gets the push pin What do you got? Give Ian or Jamie a kiss on the butt Pants on Oh, there are whammies in the bonus bowl And you have to do the whammy

You have to do the tab. So, Jamie, you should stand up. I have to kiss Jamie's butt? Pants on, yes. Or you can't. I never thought of it that way. You could request for him to kiss your butt. But it has to be I will repeat pants on.

And the thumbtack cannot, the pushpin cannot be involved. It's my lucky day. So, Jamie, I'll get my camera ready. What? So, I can take a photo. You can't take a picture. No, I'll take a video. On that note, on that boing.

Okay, this is good butt kissing music. So, get your bonus kiss. Wait, who's kissing who? That's Jamie's call. Or Ian's call. That's my call? Yeah. Alright Jamie, pucker up.

We'll try to get close to the mic. Jamie, make sure you move the mic right next to his butt cheek. And you should have put the reverb on because I really want to hear those lips smack. Go for it, man. Come on, move a little bit. Alright, good job. Alright, Jamie, Ian, your final answer? What's your final answer?

I'm still going to go with Tiger Village. I've got to say something real quick. I love you, man. I love you, too. Thank you. That was a nice book. Thanks. Ian, take that Tiger Village tape, brother. That's exactly what it is. You get your tab back.

You, my friend, are bowling a perfect game right now. Turn the tape up a little bit. What's that called? Is that called a turkey or something? You were doing eight turkeys, for all I know. I was going to say that's golf, but that's eagle and a birdie. Turkeys are falling.

So many birds. He's got them all. Listen to this. What's Tim doing on this part? There's a lot going on here. I think he hired a few people, some scabs, to cross the picket line and record for him. Is he even Union? Is he with the local synth?

Union 409. A lot of Windows machines starting up on this one. I just heard one. Yeah, this is a really good tape. Hot 2 Mountain is like, it's hard to keep up with that label because it just keeps happening. It just keeps one by one. Another one comes out, and another one comes out.

I just check their band camp sometimes. You got the internet? See what everything I missed. Yeah. Only on Thursdays though. Yeah, mute us out. Let this play for a bit. Thank you. Thank you. Hello? hello I like on the inside

of this J car there's a little like Minecraft like it's like an open floor plan like living room and office

with the I think Carmen San Diego is in there that's enough that's enough Timiego's in there. That's enough. That's enough, Tim. That's a chill spot. That's enough. A lot of tapes tonight have screws in them. This tape's got a screw in it.

Sounds like a... That's a good one. This tape's got a screw in it. Alright, Jamie. Okay. Are you... Do you need a moment? Well, I'm gonna say... You're gonna say what? Well, hold on. Do you have any more information you want to tell me? Okay. Let's just do this, man.

I'm feeling down. Are you ready? Yeah. Okay. Should I give him... I'm going to close my eyes. Should I give him Floral Blasphem? All right.

I shake the box even though they don't move around. Hold on. All right, are you ready? I'm ready. Jamie Orlando. Ready as I've ever been. What is this, round five? Round five, and you haven't gotten one yet.

Ian's gotten every single one. I've never seen anything like it before, and I watch a lot of Double Dare. Ready, cassette, go. It's too late. You never get to it in time. You just stop trying. A little bit of a fade

in. Showing off a little. Alright. Since I know this is not Floroplasm, I'm going with my last tab off the bat. Off the bat? I've never seen anything like it before. I got it. It's never been done before. I have to Hail Mary. The crowd's going nuts right now. Alright. Reach in a little. I hope I. It's never been done before. I have to hail Mary. The crowd's going nuts right now.

Alright. Reach in a little. Hope I don't get the pushpin. Oh, by the way, there is a pushpin in there and it is sharp and it will hurt you. Okay. What do you got? Find out tape shell color. That's not going to help.

It might help. Not just the tape shell color. I'm going to show you the entire tape shell. Okay. Ian? You're going to show it to me. Yes. Ian, you cannot see this. Ian, I will need you to put on this sleeping mask.

Is that a sleeping mask? Yeah. Or is that some S&M stuff? It's both, baby. Okay. You can do anything you want with that thing. Is it on? Yeah, it's on.

I can't see anything. I'm going to take the tape out. Don't do anything funny. You ready? All right. There's the tape. Okay, I see. It's a neon.

Don't say anything. Why the fuck do you think he has the sleep mask on? Jamie? Jamie. Jamie. I could have been bluffing. Oh, my God. I could have been bluffing.

Could have been. You don't have a bluff in you, my friend. Play this tape. Ian, take off the mask unless you've grown used to it. Okay. I'm going to turn it up the music a little bit. Yeah, turn it up. Thank you for handing the mask back.

A little bit of a... What's going on there? I really got to inspect these tapes because there's a clue I found on the tape. I found a clue. You found another clue. Wow. Another clue. What's the clue?

I can't tell because then Ian will know. I don't want him to know. Ian, will you... No, I'm not going to ask you to step outside. I'll just say it real quiet so we can hear it. No, no, no. Actually, say it with a bunch of reverb on. I know what tape it is.

You do. You know what tape it is. I found the symbol. What? Turn it down a little bit. Turn my mic up a little bit, by the way. I'm having trouble hearing myself. I wouldn't have guessed.

I wouldn't have guessed. But this is the mt hall tape in a static bag you think it's the one in the static i know it is why do you say that because i found a clue i found an icon on on the tape yeah that i was able to match with an icon on the j card wait you found an icon where on the icon where? On the shell of the tape. The shell wasn't blank? No, there was a little doohickey on there. And I found the doohickey on the J card.

Oh, you clever SOB. He's got it. Empty haul. I really thought the fact that it was a neon orange shell and that keychain is the same color when he gave it away. Would you have picked up on that ian i think so okay but when you said neon orange i was thinking first thought was the the marcia fisher tape which is sort of orange-ish cover oh so i was thinking were you thinking this was marcia fisher

i don't know what What did you think? So is this the A side or the B side? This sounds like a remix. Here he goes again with the remixes. I think once the beat kicked in, I would have ruled out the Marsha Fisher. Okay. Why? Why?

The Empty Hall. for the empty hall. The empty hall has more of like a minimal feel and the Marsha Fisher has more of a experimental feel. Alright. Okay. Fair enough. Jamie Orlando. You get your tab back.

Oh, thank goodness. Here. Don't lose it. They're small. I feel like a man again. I was going for that. Hold on to that. Your first win. Here. Don't lose it. They're small. I feel like a man again. I was going for that shutout. Hold on to that. I almost lost it. Your first win. Okay. Here, fade this up a little bit.

Mute us for a bit. Thank you. Check, check, check. MT Hall, NV. Jamie's on the board. Someone in the northwest of the UK, it says. So if you're in the UK, go to the north, and then just a little west. You'll run right into them. That was a debut tape on Pale Master

with that huge keychain and now Jamie you're on the board can you even catch up though the score right now what is it 4-1 with 4 tapes left to really blunder oh I have another question

I should have asked this earlier are you recording this I am recording it I see the waveforms. Okay. Good. Just dawned on me. You might have thought I was doing that. That would have been great, though, if I wasn't recording,

because then nobody would know. Nobody would know. You should have said, oh, shit, no, I'm not recording this. Better start over. All right. Boys, close your eyes I'm gonna go in at random here shit I dropped one I dropped one

I dropped one and I don't know where it went it literally disappeared I'm gonna put it in this alright Ian yeah ready It literally disappeared. I'll go and put it in the... All right, Ian. Yeah. Ready. All right. Cassette.

I gave you plenty of time. Go. Go. Oh. Funky. Funky boy. I'll listen to this in a hot tub. Ian, where would you listen to this, ideally?

I'm getting like a forest. You're in the forest. Yeah. What time is it? What season? It's like dark out, but still early in the evening. Oh, scary. Yeah.

So it's scary. It's got to, yeah. Going off of that, so you're in the forest. The forest is black metal. That's not this. I mean, it doesn't have to be super scary. What is that making you lean towards? Keep in mind, you you got a couple of tabs

you could always trade them in you picked up the Hossiful tape first very interesting really eyeing that J card giving it a one over

what are you learning from that thing buddy well it says all tracks written and recorded in 2018 by Helmet. The band? Is it? No? I guess.

No, couldn't be. Copyright infringement. Somebody call ASCAP. Get ASCAP on the phone. Hmm. You know, I'm going to use a tap. Let's hand it over. Because I just don't know. All right.

Scared. I should mention that there is a pushpin in the bonus bowl. The pushpin is sharp and it can hurt you. Call Dave. You get to call Dave. Thank God. All right. Hold on. call Dave you get to call Dave thank god alright hold on you want to use your phone or mine

I want to use your phone is he going to be able to hear what this is can we have it go over the speakers right now or actually no just put it on speaker phone and put it to your headphones. Real close. Oh, God.

Real close to the mic. Here. I'll turn the music down. Put it close to the mic so we can hear him. Turn the music down a little more. No, talk to him first. He knows what's going on. It went straight to voicemail?

He doesn't want to talk to you. Well, that was your call. That was your call. Fuck. But what did you learn from that? to you. Well, that was your call. That was your call. Fuck. But what did you learn from that? It said, hi, you've reached Dave. He's obviously busy. Okay.

So you're in the forest. Dave's busy. He's not helping you. Fuck. I will give you this. If he calls back before this tape is over You may take the call Or you can take the call from anyone else who calls Except Jamie Alright Ian

Shit Do you have it narrowed down Do you have any more tabs I have two more tabs Wow That's a lot of tabs But there's four more tabs Keep in mind one fell and I can't find it Wow. Wow. That's a lot of tabs. But there's four more tapes.

Keep in mind, one fell and I can't find it. There's four more tapes, but you're up four to one. Yeah. I've heard it. You seem to be like taking out the fluoroplasm tape obviously you seem to not know which one of the three it might be

you only have it narrowed down to two interesting Jamie do you have any ideas without saying anything I don't. No. Interesting. I'm hoping that Ian doesn't get this because I feel like if he doesn't get it, I'm going to be able to get it. And then I'll be respected in the community again.

You can. Okay. I'm going to stop it there. I'm going to stop it there. Ian, buddy, I hate to do this to you. What do we listen to? Is it this Nate Young? You're going to go with that Nate Young. Hand it over to me. You're going to go with Nate Young, this tape. Volume 2, Nightshades on lower floor. Ian.

You got it. What? That's exactly what it is. I think he wins. That's exactly what it is. think he wins that's exactly what it is i can't come back that one just came out i think an lp came out called like volume one dilemmas of identity and it came with this tape but then you later on you could also buy the tape that was a total guess i really like that one actually i didn't expect to like it This is on like I think Nate Young and Olsen have like a Like a wolf eyes clearing house

Label type deal This lower floors thing This tape is fucking I thought it was a hospital tape at first The logo looks a little bit like hospital Too scary Does it look like the hospital? It does yeah Well you know it's in like a rectangle.

Oh. Ow. Ow. Very nice. Ow. You still in the forest with this one, Ian? No. No, I feel like I'm in like industrial machinery.

Yeah. That makes like, but it's big, scary, dark metal machinery, but it's making like those things that are like, they're plastic little domes and you fold them inside out and they pop up. It's just making those. And the hands, the sticky hands that you slap on the wall.

I love those things. Yeah, it just makes those. Taking me down memory lane. Oh, I love taking you down memory lane. I can remember the smell of those sticky hand things. You remember what they smelled like? I mean, I can't describe it, but yeah, I remember what they smelled like. They were gross.

And they always got the hair on them right away. Always. All right, fade this out. We got to move on to the next round. Okay, if I don't get this. Ian, you are standing right now with five points, brother, which is insane. Jamie, you only have one. One point.

This is your chance, though. To pull it out. All right. Now I got two tapes left in the box. Three tapes on the table to choose from. I think we'll keep it that way. Floroplasm. Floroplasm.

Are you ready? Yeah. Well, then ready. Look how much time I'm giving him. Cassette, he's still into it. Don't do it now. Don't do it now. Don't do it that late.

Ready, Cassette, go. You take the pageantry out of it. You hear that hiss? What do you think about that hiss? You think you can do this? You feeling confident? Come on, come on. Jamie, look at me. Do you even feel confident? What do you think about that hiss? You think you can do this? You feeling confident? Jamie, look at me. Do you even feel confident? I do. I feel like a man.

What kind of... What Dolby we got this set at? Have you been doing your Dolby exercises? This might be Dolby... Shh, listen to that. It's sneaking in. Okay. Oh, I'm scared as shit already. On a level... On a scariness level,

how scared are you right now, Jamie? Probably 9 out of 10. Are you full-blown ghost? If there's something scarier that comes in... How... What will happen? What will happen if something scary came in right now? Something super scary and spooky

and really knocked your socks off, made you poop your drawers. What would that make you think? What tape would you pick? I might shiver in my boots a little bit. Let's see. We got Martha Fisher on Bad Cake. Marsha. And we got Hasufeld Decrepit on...

I don't know what label this is. Help me out. What are you talking about? Yeah, what label is this Hassofeld on? Oh, that's on Plus Organics. Plus Organics. Yes. Okay.

Well, I'm just going to go... I'm going my... I'm going to draw this out a little bit. I'm going to draw this out. Go ahead. Draw it out. This Hassofeld tape has a very scary cover. Whereas the Martha Fisher tape is scary, but not as scary. Still scary, though.

You're still scared. You're still a baby when you look at it, right? You're still a total fucking baby when you look at it. But this one, this Hasufeld tape looks a little bit like... This looks evil to me. Oh, yeah? It's crappy. What's with music these days?

I know. What is with music? These fucking outsiders think they can do anything they want. You know what started it all was the White Album. The Beatles? When Beatles did a White Album. All right, so what are you thinking, Jamie? Keep in mind, do you have any tabs left?

That's my first question. I have one tab left. I got to use it, don't I? You should probably use it. Okay, I'm going to use it. I'm looking for the pushpin. Alright, there's the tab. Turn this down a little bit.

Turn it all the way down. All the way, like it's off. I should mention that the bonus ball does have a pushpin in it. The pushpin is sharp and it can hurt you. Alright, turn it back up. Reach on in there. Okay, okay. Dodge the pushpin

what do you got phone a friend oh you get the phone a friend you can call anyone you want and you can talk to them about this tape call Dave I suggest Dave

I'm gonna call Joe B alright make sure you put him on speakerphone find his number just say his number man Make sure you put them on speakerphone. Just say his number, man. Joe Brighton. Oh, hold on.

Joe Brighton. Bye. Ian, do you think this tape has gotten scarier as it's gone along? Yeah, it's getting more scary. Turn the save down so you can... That's pretty good. I was going to say we can plug him in. In retrospect, you should have called Dave from your phone. He was more likely to answer.

Hey, Joe. It's Jamie Orlando. I'm recording an episode of Tabs Out right now. You're on the air. Oh, I'm live? You're live. I'm at a tat-con. You're at a tat-con. Just for the layman, what is a tat-con?

It's a tattoo convention. Okay, okay. So, we're playing a little game right now. Oh, a game? Would you like to play a game? Good one, Joe Joe this is Mike Mike Mike Haley Mike Haley it's very quiet for you being at a convention is very quiet. I stepped into the business room in the hotel lobby. Very nice.

I was actually in the bar. So, I actually literally just got put in front of me. I ate two french fries and then I was like, I'm in Orlando, so I'm going to most be in a burger. Dang. Plug your phone into this. Oh, I can't and I have an iPhone.

Oh, god damn with the iPhones wait can I have Mike call you back so that we can put you over that's a good idea we're going to have Mike call you back real quick edit all this out we should have told him that Dave didn't answer he probably wanted to know that

He might be sad that we picked Dave before him Well this was phone a friend Mention that to him He's not going to pick up now Is he on there? My computer line You there Joe? Turn him up My computer line. You there, Joe?

Yeah. Turn him up. Turn up the trim. Here we go. Let's hear you. Can you hear us? Who else is there? Oh, it's the bonus brigade. So it's me, Jamie, and Ian.

Nice. I have an echo, though. Ah. Well, let me ask you. Ah. On my voice. You don't on our end. You sound great over here, Joe. You sound gold on our end, Joe. You sound beautiful. Oh, I sound beautiful. Alright. Alright, so we're playing.

I'll put Jamie on. Pass him the phone. Okay. So, Joe, I'm losing really bad in this game right now. We're down to two tapes. We're down to a Hasufel tape on Plush Organics. Okay. It's a black-looking tape.

It looks very scary. That looks too scary. And then we have a Martha Fisher tape on bad... Marsha Fisher. They keep saying Martha. Marsha. It's on bad tape. Marsha.

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. Exactly. It's on bad tape. Marsha. Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. Exactly. That's what it is. Yes. Not Martha Washington. So what's the game? So I have to guess which tape it is at the expense of being humiliated in front of all my friends.

Oh, I like those types of games. I love humiliation games. Yeah, Joe, you stick on the line because you get to make fun of the loser. All right, so what do I do? So you're my lifeline right now, so I'm calling you as an advisor. I'm going to defer to your decision here. Okay.

I hope that you're not colluding with Ian. I don't think I am. I never would. No collusion. So what's it going to be? Is it the Hasufel, or is it the Marsha Fisher tape? Can he hear it's it going to be? Is it the Hasufel or is it the Marsha Fisher tape? Can he hear it? Yeah. It's the Hasufel.

Okay. Can you hear it? Oh, oh, oh, that's what I'm doing? I'm guessing by the sound? Yeah. I thought I'm just randomly picking one. Can you hear anything? I have you sort of next to my headphones.

He can't hear. But my answer still stands. All right. That's what I was going to go with anyway. So let's go. Okay. I'm going to turn the volume down. Okay.

And I'm going to go with Hasufel decrepit on plush organics. That's your final answer? Final answer. That's final answer. Oh, yeah. You got it. Oh, that was it? Joe, thank you.

I knew it. Thank you. You're welcome. Good job, Joe. Anytime. Have a great time at your convention. Be safe. Enjoy, that was it? Joe, thank you. I knew it. Thank you. You're welcome. Good job, Joe. Anytime. Have a great time at your convention. Be safe. Enjoy dinner.

Don't tell him what to do. Just hang up on him. That's all he likes to do. Bye. All right, bye, Joe. Turn your trim knob down on your laptop or else it's going to blow up. Not bad. You finally got the scary one.

Take that. Get that. Good job, man. I'll take a tab, please. Oh, and you get your tab back. I'll get my tab back. I'll take a tab, please. Oh, and you get your tab back. Get my tab back. I'm trying to decide right now. Do I throw a new tape into the game?

You know what? Mute us. Turn this up the time a little bit. You know, we're almost at an hour, guys. We should probably end this soon, huh? We probably should. We have like 15 seconds left. Okay. That's okay. This one one's gonna go over a little bit i i can accept it it's still a bonus episode that's fine okay here's what we're

gonna do we're gonna put in the last tape and it's for ian and ian i'm to guess that you're going to know what it is I have a good guess already ready cassette go no pageantry I think you're going to get it because I dropped the fluoroplasm tape I can't find it

ready cassette go you got damn Jamie turn the fucking tape deck up there's that hiss you might as well just grab that tape right now You got... Jamie, turn the fucking tape deck up. There's that hiss. You might as well just grab that tape right now.

What tape you got there? What tape you got? I hope you're not pulling a fast one on me. But I'm going to say this is the... Hold on, hold on. Do a tap. Oh, yeah. You should do a tap. Do a tap.

All right. I got tabs to spare. I might get to kiss your butt again. I should mention that... I should mention that there is a pushpin in the bonus bucket. Turn my microphone up a little bit. And give me some effects. This might be the last time I ever do this.

And I want it to mean something. I have the bonus bucket. The bonus bucket contains a pushpin. The pushpin is sharp. The pushpin can hurt you. Do not touch the pushpin. Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not. Wow.

Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not.

Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not.

Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not.

Do not. Do not. Do not. Do not. What do you got? Close eyes and hold the tape for five seconds. Go ahead. Do it. Close your eyes and hold the tape for five seconds go ahead do it close your eyes and hold the tape we'll all watch where's but where's the tape close your eyes i'll hand it to you that's the tape

the tape right here this is just the cover that's what i mean that's what you get to hold all right i'm closing my eyes. All right. You're holding the tape. What does it make you think with your eyes closed? It feels very... Drop the download code there, buddy. Oh, there's a download code?

Okay. That's a good hint. It had a download code. The paper's feeling smooth, but maybe a tiny bit of texture to it. A tiny bit of texture to the paper? Like it's a little toothy? I wouldn't say toothy. I would just say like, I don't know. Yeah, it's like a cotton bond.

All right, open my eyes. Open your eyes open your eyes marcia fisher inverted on bad cake who you kept calling martha fisher on that jamie sorry i apologize i apologize and we're going out that's going to be your one two three four five six to two and congratulations thank you okay let let's shake on it. Yeah. And going out on an artist that, Jamie, you should know, this artist has no Discogs entry. Really? What?

Did you see him perk up? Oh, the adventure that lies ahead for Jamie Orlando. You said the magic word. Do you want to do it live right now? Do you want to put this tape on Discogs? I can't. I don't have my scanner with me. Oh, man.

You can't even get it started? I could get it started. Get it started. I'll get it started. This is the little pride. This is a live Discogs entry. This is what he gets this. All right.

Okay, hold on. Do you want to mute us out and play the tape while you do it? Yeah. Or do you want to keep us on? Actually, I think it would be more fun if I just did it while you guys were... You know what? Mute me and Ian, but keep your mic on. Okay.

Okay, here we go. Jamie Orlando, we're going to end this out. Ready, cassette, go. Congratulations to Ian. You won. Thank you. You're a big-time winner winner and everybody thinks you're cool. Nobody touched the pushpin.

Oh, well, you know what? That's what you have to do, Jamie. You have to poke yourself with the pushpin. You have to poke yourself in the butt. You have to poke yourself in the butt. And now I will end this out with Marcia Fisher. The inverted tape on bad cake

while you give us all a live Discogs tutorial. Okay. All right. And all right, so I'm on Discogs right now, and let me just get a little effect here. Turn the tape up a little bit, too. So I put a little flanger on my voice just to give a little effect. So the first thing I do is I typed in Bad Cake Records. It gave me a few results and I decided to go with label. I found a label. There's five

releases on there right now and I do not see Marcia Fisher there. So I'm going to click the add release button in the bottom left. The add release button takes me to a form. So what I'm going to do here is start typing in Marsha Fisher. Marsha Fisher, Marsha Fisher. Oh, there's two. Wait, there's Marshall Fisher. There's two Marshall Fishers. I'm going to click the strict search button to narrow it down to see if there's no Marsha Fisher. Is this the first release for this person? I don't like adding a new artist unless I'm sure. We're gonna keep we're gonna just keep Marsha Fisher as is. Is there like an alias for Marsha Fisher by any chance? I don't think there is. This might be their first release here. Okay so the

tape is called Inverted. Now the casing is a little bit like the I is lowercase and Discs, they're like for the first letter to be uppercase, unless it's intended to be that specific casing. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to the Bandcamp page. Get Bad Cake Bandcamp. And I'm going to click on the link. And I see, oh see so Marsha Fisher inverted it is using standard casing, standard Pascal casing, the capital

I, so inverted it is the label so next we do catalog number I'm going to check the spine checking the spine for the catalog number come on, come on. Let there be a catalog number.

I don't like having to put in none. I don't like putting in none for the catalog number. I'm going to check the Bandcamp page for a catalog number right now. Let's see if it's here. Is there a catalog number on the Bandcamp page? I don't see one here. What I'm going to do in a new window... I'm going to open up the Bad Cake Discogs page again.

And... There's... One of the... I'm sorry. Thank you. Thank you. All right, so... So just entering in the track titles now. Track A1 is called K8-7.
