Yes, and the answer was yes, right? Yeah, it's gotta be Survey said Yes, Tabs Out, Cassette, oh, quiet down Tabs Out, Cassette. Oh, quiet down. Tabs out. Cassette podcast. Bonus episode.

I'm Mike. I'm Ian. I'm Jamie. Yes, we're all here to end the year. Jamie. I don't know what he does. I don't know what that mixer. I don't know what that thing does.

It's got lights. It's got lights. You think I'm making that shit up? I just stay away from it. Yeah, we just let Jamie do it. So we're here to, What are we here to do? I think we're here to do several things. I think we're here to wrap up the year. We're here to do a 2019 year in reverse winding.

A little look back. And also, maybe I'll be doing some employee reviews on you guys. You know what? I'm ready. Do you think so? Yeah. I'm ready. Because I got to say, Ian, I mean, I already know that Burnett's episodes are bad.

I've said it on TV. But you bring a new level of like misunderstanding to the concept. Shut your mouth. Themes in general, you don't seem to be able to nail them. I tell you to bring one kind of tape, you're bringing a different kind of tape. What's going on? Themes are hard, you know. Is this Ian's review right now?

Yeah, we're going right into it. My friend, the interview is always going on. Okay. Always going on themes are hard you know is this ian's review right now yeah we're going right into it my friend the interview is always going on okay always going on no i think i'm ready i'm not scared i previously had told you we're gonna recap the 2019 yeah the year that's coming to an end yeah very soon do you think you brought something that can represent it and impress me your boss legally your boss your podcast boss i don't know i mean it takes a lot holy shit it does it does really does well you know i have many trainings in different fields i am a bit of a cassette hound i scour these things looking for the best I dive deep into the stacks looking for the most experimental cassette tapes. What do you have, Ian?

I brought some good stuff. Okay, what do you got from this year? What came out this year? Am I just going to go through everything? No, no, just give me one. Okay. Give me your best, your golden boy. Well, I think this was my favorite tape tape at least that I picked up this year.

The Machine Listener tape on House of Mountain. Oh, let me see that. I see some Super Nintendo graphics. Do you know it's definitely Super Nintendo? And not like another... What else was out at that time? Sega Genesis? Or was that earlier? The same time. Was that the same time?

I have no idea. Sega got what Nintendo don't. Was that the marketing? Was that what they'd said? It really made an impression on you. Yeah. It stuck. Well, Sega had blast processing.

You can't touch that. Well, I know, because I do a little research here, and I'm looking up blast processing, but just for people who aren't geniuses, what is that? It was some marketing term. It wasn't a real thing? No, it was meaningless.

I'm listening. You strike me as a kid who you had both of them, didn't you, Jamie? I didn't, but I had friends that had both, so I would often be at their houses. Sure you would. What did you have, Ian? I didn't have anything. I mean, I had like a Game Boy, but then...

You only had a Game Boy? That's what my wife, too. I felt so bad for her. Only the Game Boy? Yeah. And then I got... then you only had a game boy that's what my wife too i felt so bad for her only the game boy yeah and then i and then i got um i can't believe you don't feel embarrassed enough to keep that to yourself i got i had a playstation one but yeah it was it was pretty sad i wanted the the sega genesis real bad wanted to play some sonic turn the deck down a little bit. Not all the way down, Jamie. I want to bring it up slow.

Who's machine listener, Ian? That is Matt Gallagher from Ohio. That guy's making crazy art, isn't he? Yeah. He made something. It's bonkers. Oh, as this comes in very nicely. This is like an alien just entered the room.

And I'm not afraid or anything. You sure? I'm gonna hold your boy's hands while we listen to this. I'm not scared. Too scary. This is fucking tight. This is great. This tape is very good. Yeah? Very good tape. Well, I gotta say, Ian, you're doing

a good job already. I hate to say it, it was kind of cool. On theme, it literally came out this year. It says 2019 on the inside. Well, Jesus Christ, that's not a hard one to get, man. Come on. Well, you always get on me about not sticking to theme. I will be.

I got a question. Is that a snake on the cover, Ian? Oh, my God. Yeah, it's a snake. We got to call the aquarium or something. So an incredibly cool little lizard. Dan, this is tight. It's a fucking big sea turtle.

I saw something on Instagram or something where he, Matt Gallagher, made some kind of painting with a sonic tremor of some sort. He built some sort of earthquake machine or something. I don't know what he did. It's probably something a lot simpler than that. I'm going with earthquake machine

for the time being though he does some real good visual art stuff I do want to take points away from you though Ian I'm sad to say I will currently be taking points away from you is it because of the snake? you know what I'm taking one point away from the snake

yes you've gotten a snake penalty of one point. But can we get through one fucking episode without playing a Hasu Mountain tape? No. Just one goddamn episode. That's impossible. What is this, a quid pro quo at this point? Jesus Christ.

I think, you know what? I heard they're putting out a Hunter Biden tape in 2020. I heard it. Listen to those sounds. I heard it. I heard it. 3-0. Listen to those sounds. Let me see the cover, though. That is absolutely a snake, by the way. There's no doubt in my mind it's a snake.

It's not scary, though, because you can tell it's not a real snake. We're going to call the aquarium a shot. You're right. This came out in 2019. You did a very good job. Thanks. Jamie, what was your favorite Hatsu Mountain tape this year? Pop quiz, Hopchop.

Okay. Hurry up. Well, I brought along... Yeah. Tiger Village, Modern Drummer. You brought the Tiger Village tape, huh? My arch enemy. I might not play it, though.

I might not play it. You definitely won't play it. I won't allow it. I actually have a Tim-related tape as well. Tim Thornton, who does this Tiger Village project you speak of. Is it 101 Thoughts on Jazz? Yeah. I don't know where it is right now, though.

I was sad I didn't get get one of those you didn't get one i told tim send five from that one not just the three okay so when tim when we get sweet 309 releases sent to us what you're saying is our joe he's the one the only person who i demand you must send three copies you must read five copies it was three or i would send where i would throw them away and that is the Tabs Out guarantee. I would five. But you're saying now you need five? Yeah, just for me, though.

And then I'll distribute them to you guys at my discretion. Oh, you're trying to get direct postage? Jimmy's taking over. No way, dude. No way. Whoa. Was that from you or from that? That was from me, but it sounded real good.

I say keep it for the second edition. I say when you reissue this, you just give me a tiny credit. It's fine. Do you want to throw in that Timmy boy? Yeah, I'll play it. The Tiger Village, all right. I'll play it. I'm getting some payola.

Oh, wait, what's he giving you? That's good for you. It's about time somebody made something from this thing. Really? Oh, I got the download code. Yeah, you guys both have this, right? I do not have it. I have it. I've listened to it. It's a good one. This is the Modern Drummer tape, correct? Yep.

Yeah. Do you guys need to see it? Let me see. You can... Let me take a look. The cover looks, uh... You're holding onto it like it's a fucking, like, uh... I don't know. I don't have a good analogy But let's just say you were really holding on to it. It's a fucking big sea turtle I was just trying to see how Super Nintendo ish the cover looked this one not so not as much There's no snakes. What was turbo graphics 16?

I had one friend that had that sister Jimmyimmy no one believes that you had friends they made bonk right that was like a caveman game for it yeah so what was it like uh nintendo was 8-bit and then that came out it was like we doubled the bits we doubled the bits so there's two nintendos in here yeah super nintendo turbo graphics and sega genesis what was se Sega Genesis? How many bits they got? That was 16. They had 16? Yep. Three? And then what came next? The 32-bit generation? They're constantly doubling up. That was the Sega 32X? You know what I would have done at the time? I would have came out, I wouldn't have doubled it. I would have just had five more bits. Five more bits. I would have five more bits. I would have said somebody did like a 32, I'm doing a 37. 37 bits? There's just five more bits and they're all the way at the end.

What's that microprocessor look like? It's huge. It's enormous. See, let me tell you the problem with my game. It was enormous. You needed two TVs to play it. You couldn't play it on one screen. Oh.

You needed two screens to play it. And it was enormous, and it got real hot. It caused a lot of fires. And it was only five more bits. And the bits were very hard to play it. And it was enormous, and it got real hot. It caused a lot of fires. And it was only five more bits, and the bits were very hard to get to. You need me to press play on this? I can't reach. This is actually like the,

it's the same cassette deck they have at NORAD where we both had to push play at the same time. Ah, okay. There we go. Holy shit! So this is the modern drummer tape, right? Yeah. That we're about to hear.

Any worms or snakes on it? No, no worms or snakes, but there's a creature of some sort on the front. What? That's not a drum. That's a tuna, bro! I can already tell these aren't drums. Anything can be a drum. Oh, shit.

I forgot about experimental music. I forgot the rules, how they were thrown out the window. There are real drums on this, though, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. You can't lie about that. I mean, you can do... You can pull this anything as a drum bullshit, but if you say there's drums,

brother, you better give me at least a snare. I'm not sure if we talked about this on the podcast, but when Tim played Delaware, he had a laminated set list with all of his patches on it you guys see that i did see that i don't know jamie i'm gonna say this i don't know if we talked about on the podcast but i fucking ripped it apart and otherwise oh you did oh god you kidding me i laminate it like definitely wasn't gonna let that go i wasn't gonna that one slide. That's got to be roadworthy. You're bringing that on the road.

That's going to get ripped up. I believe I did a laser focus with Tim. Right. And I think I mentioned it there. Those are drums, aren't they? Mm-hmm. It's a fucking big sea turtle I think I hear some sticks He's just hitting the sticks together

Jamie, were you like a marching band kid? Yes, I was Were you really? I knew it, I fucking knew it Not in college I can smell it on a man And my high school didn't even have a football team Wait a minute What did you march for? Just for fun after school? We did have a football team wait a minute you what did you march for

just for fun after school we did it like once or twice a year like at like the like the downtown like the parade that we had in town and then the high school graduation we played like the the high school graduation songs was this something that you set up on your own it wasn't officially you made you made the uniforms and everything is the event organizer yeah like jamie you know the football team died in that bus accident last year and he's like i still say we march was it a small high school um yeah it was there was about 200 people in my class it was like a high school for ants like zoolander that was about the same as mine excuse me we had a football team i made a pretty funny joke right there about zoolander and i feel

like no one even like looked no i wasn't listening i'm stopping the i've never i've never seen that movie so i don't do it again i saw it um um you oh jesus christ i can't do it oh my god i'm so embarrassed i'm so embarrassed i I'm so embarrassed. I feel so stupid. I don't want to do the podcast anymore. You said to Jamie... I said, was it a small high school? And I said, high school for... I see where you're going with this.

Can you say it for me, please? Was it a high school for ants? That's exactly... Yeah, that went right over my head. That's exactly what I said. You guys are laughing it up. Trust me, it was hilarious. You know what?

It was good. I'm glad that Ian gave me on the wheel for that one. Jamie, let me ask you a question. If you look to your left, it's 101 notes on jazz over there. Where's your sweet 309 section? Oh, you know what? There it is you want to pop that in yeah sure this is a great tape this is what they call a concept album right

this is the first i never heard the who is this like that is this tommy this is like they call a concept album, right? This is the first non- I never heard the who. Is this like that? Is this Tommy? This is like, this is a gimmick. This is like Gallagher without the mess. It's like a rock opera. It's a fucking big sea turtle. It's like Rocktober.

Yeah. It's like School of Rocktober with Gallagher there. Gallagher. This is 101 Notes on Jazz. What's the dude's name who it is? i don't know if he printed it on here it's the same guy that does boiling oil the boiling oil is it the raymond guy i don't know his name i feel like tim tim thornton has a raymond guy that he talks about and i don't know if he's real because i don't know if anyone i don't know if anyone's talked directly to the raymond guy i think it's just always through tim like a conduit so like everybody loves raymond everyone loves raymond but it might be tim this

is the scariest part about it but this tape is just i'll just press play i mean you can see me now just out here with the wind blowing around and man it feels like some fresh air out here so hop on a train and drive it anywhere with travel experts thank you for joining us here on the crest of pinewood suites we'll be taking a tour of some of the most famous luxury homes in america this side of the river what money has to offer you may ask Solid gold foundations and coated in diamond dust, these homes are a luxury you can afford.

Welcome back to Jazz Music to Meet Your Wife To, and I did meet my wife to this song, that's why I play it at the top of every hour. Someday you'll find happiness, maybe, I guess, it's actually kind of random, but you're doing great, or you're doing okay, I don't know you, but I'm happy you're tuning in. I'll keep the music spinning all night long. You woke up this morning and had a piece of toast. Feeling the summer air on your cheeks, you thought, this isn't the first time science tried to prove that God exists.

Well, one thing we know is that this is not a simulation. We know this for a fact. We also know that God is not made up. Science has proven this. But who has proven science? And if God didn't make this simulation, who did? Living in a simulation and the curse of a reality without god on exploring science this day in history the crab sisters made their debut at the feather crest bird sanctuary with their hit i saw what the the Claws Can Do, which is a combination of... All right, we're back. Excuse me, then. We'll edit that out. What did you do?

The burp. Can you do magic and cut that out? Can you do studio magic? Yeah. Could you really? I think you could, Jamie. I think you know a little trick or two. I know some crossfade tricks.

Yeah, man, you got that. And also, they would go on to perform at the White House Crab Roast. Perfect spot, then. You know what's crazy? I want to point something so crazy, and so it's almost like a Christmas miracle. It's almost like a Hallmark movie.

The Hatsu Mountain tapes that you guys played, the shells of them, the first one, Machine Listener, is green, and then the next one's red first one machine listener is green and then the next one's red which is very Christmas and then my notes on jazz is a tape that's half green half red would you call it green I mean I would call it fucking poetic license but yeah yeah I would let it slide and Jesus right you're about to get a performance review tonight. Hold on, Ian. Hold on.

This is the Jeff Bezos tabs out. Writing down some very, very, very angry shit on you, Ian. Ian, you played a good tape. I like that machine listener tape. I like everything Hasu did this year.

I like that 101 Notes on Jazz. I enjoyed that. I thought that was a very funny tape. It's a good tape. Very good. Ian, do you want to play another one? Yeah. What do you got?

Speaking of jazz. You got, oh. I brought some jazz. Did you really? Yeah. God damn it. You sly dog. This tape's called Four on the Top Floor.

What does that mean? Is that a sexual thing? I don't know. Jamie, Four on the Top Floor. that mean is that a sexual thing i don't know jamie four on the top floor what's it mean brother just tell me i don't know just tell me what sick sexual shit this is what fucking thing creepy oh who is this uh this is toned and jack right oh toned and jack right tones is like, I guess. I've never heard of them, actually. I love that cover art. Yeah. It's just text. Three people in Toned, and then Jack Wright playing some saxophone, as he does.

He blows on those ones. Blows on that. Yeah. God damn, he blows on those ones. He better clean those things out. He blows on them so hard. You got to clean it out, or else it sounds bad. This isn't even a joke, this part of it.

You do have to clean those out for sanitary purposes. You do. Oh yeah, you get bagpipers lung. You don't want that. Is that a thing? Is that a real thing? Yeah, yeah. Then don't joke about it. Clean it out. Yeah, that's not funny. You kidding me? You're not a doctor.

Leave your opinion to yourself. A label called killer hurts to us killer hurts records oh yeah they do it in a funny way so it's like a pun oh yeah if you are teasing I think so like this is like killer hurts or something like that is it funny like that or is it just straight up the word killer hurts no I think it's it's not killer hurts it's like that or is it just straight up the word killer hurts no i think it's it's not killer hurts it's like it's really just killer hurts but i think it's spelled funny kilo hurts yeah like hurt ouch ouch that hurt me yeah don't do it again it hurt right a kilo of those

right i have the same on the right channel with my Anything coming through the left channel? There's a little. There's something on there. This is Dan Getty's label. Really? Yeah. Holy shit! I didn't know he had a label. I also did not know that. Oh wait, I think we played something by Cop Jokes a few episodes back on that label.

His project. Okay. Sounds good. So he put out this toned and jacked right four on the top floor. Still don't know what weird sexual thing that means, but I'd love for one. Ian, I'd love for you to explain it to me, buddy. I don't want to go there. But you do know what it is and you have done it?

Well, I won't say. I will say for your employee review portion of the show, so far, 82% you're doing. Oh, okay. This is good. You're doing very good. It's better than I thought it would be. What did you think you had?

I don't know. What would you say is your strongest podcasting talent? Just that noise right there, making that noise. That's it. That's pretty good. You sound noise right there. Making that noise. Pretty good. Sound like a horse. I can always use a good horse, man. If I'm ever going to do any stories or anything. It's a fucking big sea turtle. I'm going to turn this up a little bit.

I hear some squeaks. They're going crazy. That must be toned. Yeah, I know who Jack Wright is just from seeing him play so many times. Yeah. He loves doing the... He makes that saxophone.

Yeah. Good transition on the jazz too. Might want to tune that thing. Some of these experimental musicians, the one thing they'll skip, tuning. I'm telling you, you gotta tune it. Even if you don't know how to play it, you have to tune it first.

You won't catch me getting out there doing one of my steps without tuning first. I think he means more than tuning, though. I think he's got to take his horn down to accent music and get it looked at. Fully take it apart. He's got to come to Delaware to a music store in Delaware, though. I think you take it to any jazz like... Jazz shop? You go to any jazz shop,

they'll fully take it. What they'll do is they'll roll the horn metal out. They'll roll it out to a flat sheet again. So it's like a cookie of the horn. Then they roll it back up? Well, they clean it first. They put a bunch of cleaner on it and stuff.

And if, you know, maybe put a little elbow grease in there and roll it back up. Yeah, it won't sound like that no more. It'll work. Trust me. It'll work at that point. Jamie, did you bring any jazz? What's your favorite jazz this year?

Jamie, I got to ask you, what's your favorite jazz this year? My favorite jazz? You're putting me on the spot. What's your number one all-time the best 2019 jazz? Survey said. I don't have it on cassette, but I know Lea Bertucci put out some good stuff this year. What was that album? That was one of National Spirits, right?

I think it was, yeah. That's around this room somewhere. Should be easy to spot. I know. Is it Lea or Leah? I don't know. I think it's Lea. Brother, I don't know and I don't even ask anymore. I can't get these things right.

And when I'm corrected, I don't remember. There's Leia. Brother, I don't know, and I don't even ask anymore. I can't get these things right. And when I'm corrected, I don't remember. There's so much. The problem is everybody's got four or five different names that they use. That's true. Because they've got all these different projects. I can't keep track of everybody. I think 2020, everybody just pick one project and go with it. Just go with it, yeah.

And I'm not even saying go at it really hard and do a good job. Just go with it. Just go with it, yeah. And I'm not even saying go at it like really hard and do a good job. Just go with it. Just put a just put a moderate amount. I'm not even going to say a moderate amount of work. Just have it. But only have one. That's what it sounds like when I clean my floors.

Alright, Jamie, what do you got? Okay, what else came out? This is good, Dane, by the way. Thank you for playing this. I didn't even know this tape existed. Oh, yeah? Yeah. So I have a transition

that's going to be probably a little jarring. So I have this Neil Hamburger. Are you familiar? I can't take anything being jarring. You know I can't. So Neil Hamburger did a record this year of just cover songs from like Easy Listening

and like Showtunes and Is that a fact? Yeah. He's got the tape there. He's holding it right now. I don't know why I'm questioning him. Came out on Drag City. He could have made that himself.

On Drag City. So there's going to be a cassette version. Why? You said that with a tone. I think Drag City puts out all their releases in CD, vinyl, and cassette. Yeah, but you said that in a way like it's on Drag City, so there's going to be a cassette version. There's going to be a cassette.

You got a problem with them putting out cassettes? You bought it. I bought it, yeah. You bought it. You're part of the problem. You might be one of the only people who bought it. They probably made this just for you. Well, there's a lot of people on this, too.'s like a very professional album so wait this is music this is real music with but it's him singing in the neil hamburger character of all these like songs neil hamburger singing in the neil hamburger character yeah oh greg turkington

disappearing into does he disappear into it? Jamie, does he just disappear into the character? He does. He does a great job. Sometimes he just disappears into this character. I really like this house graphic on the show. What's that all about? I don't know.

There's a little house on the cover, too. Because that's not Drag's not drag cities logo isn't it doesn't look familiar to me have you even listened to this yet yeah listen to it a few times yeah drag city does not give you a download code either you want to you want to drag them it's dragging them through the mud talk More like drag shitty. So this first track is a Paul McCartney cover. He did it. He did it. Did you hear it?

He did it. He did his podcast thing. So it's a Paul McCartney B-side that I've never heard before, but it's a cover of that. What, Beatles? From the Beatles. I like Ringo the best. With peace and love, stop approaching me on the street

with peace and love. So who's all on this? Who plays on this? I don't know. A whole bunch of people on there. Looks like a nice 1950s you know aesthetic to the artwork.

I don't know. You don't like this? It grows on you. I'm not saying I don't know. You don't like this? It grows on you. I'm not saying I don't like it. I just looked at you and I went, I don't know. What other songs are on this tape? What else does he cover? Let me see.

I know Homeward Bound by Paul Simon, Midnight Cowboy. I'm just going off the top of my head. I actually don't have Discogs open for once. Yeah, what's wrong with you? Did you get banned again? Everything's All Right, Andrew Lloyd Webber. That must be a Jesus Christ superstar. I think it is, yeah.

Turn it down a little bit. No, this is good. I like this. This is fun. I like fun, man. Don't pin me as a guy who doesn't like fun. Jesus Christ. On one track, there's a guy that's credited

as playing laugh track. Okay, alright. I could do that too. You could. I don't have it as playing laugh track. Okay. All right. I could do that, too. You could. I don't have it on here right now. I got a clapping. Did this come out in conjunction with anything? I don't think so.

It seems like such a weird thing. I think it's one of those... Actually, there was a whole podcast about the making of this album, which is one of the reasons I got into it, where he basically talks about... I'm going to turn this down a little bit. He talks about how, even though it's funny, just naturally...

Wait, does he talk about it as Greg Turkingtonkington or yeah as greg turkington but he said he approached this album very seriously but just using this is how neil hamburger would sound singing it but he didn't really necessarily approach it as a comedy album and that made me that made me think of it very differently i'm confused i'm downright confused i'm just gonna say it i'm just gonna say the world, it's just that the room is spinning. I don't get it. But there's like a lot of work going into like the production on this.

This is fucking good. Orchestra and there's a producer and all that. They probably went to a jazz shop, got all their horns calibrated right away. They sound so crisp. I've earned my right to say it. I'm straight.

Listen to me. Actually, you know what? I shouldn't talk to... What did we listen to before this? Tone with N. Jack Wright? These people are actually playing their instruments. I've got to give them that, at least. I imagine they have the

music stands in front of them. Music stands? They're part of the union, too. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Big time. Do you think, does he record the vocals in the Neil Hamburger gear? Probably. Because he's doing that.

He's all sweaty. You've got to get, like, full committed. I think that's where I draw the line. That's too much? I think that's where I draw the line. And I'm just like, buddy, yeah, you ain't the Neil Hamburg guy. You don't have to do it when you record it. Does he do podcasts

in character? I don't know. On cinema, he does as Greg Turkington, but it's still sort of a character on that show. Yeah. He had some New Year's countdown show a while ago. I'm not sure

if he's still doing that one, but that's in the Neil Hamburger voice. There's some words that he hits, and they're just so fucking good. My damn. Have you guys ever seen him live? No. I have a couple times. So good. Humble brag, Jamie. Where does he play? Philly? I saw live? No. I have a couple times. So good. Humble brag, Jamie.

Where does he play? Philly? I saw him at the Troc opening for Tim and Eric for the Crimbus Spectacular. That was like five, six years ago. How was that? It was good. It was good. So that came out this year, huh?

That came out in 2019. You're doing a good job. Let me get your score so far your employer review jamie 68 and a half 68 and a half 16 and a half round up please round it i can't do it i can't do it all right should i play a tape you know what how about this i got a package here from in this fucking label you know when a label says they're done when you announce on twitter on on Instagram, your cassette label, you say, we're done, we're wrapping it up, I don't want to see one more fucking package from you show up at my door. Don't darken my doorstep with one more manila envelope.

Shut your mouth! All right? Even if I like you, you know what I say when you're done? Thank God. You don't say that. I do. And I do. I hear them and I think, oh, I really like that label.

Let's see what their update is. 2019 will be our last year. And I say, thank God. Enough. Enough with all of you. And then Stun Records comes back. I love it. Oh, I love it.

That's the thing. Go away for a while and then come back. That's what really gets me going patient sounds late Matt Sages label from Chicago Illinois originally I think from Colorado right maybe I think he may ran away because the medical marijuana he's addicted to this stuff he had to get away from it okay so this package came there but he stopped his label yeah like months ago well he said he was stopping this year it wasn't it wasn't like hold on am i wrong what what's the story in i think he said that 2019 was the last year for the label but he's been doing like a whole like roundup thing Yeah. Of like, this is what the label did.

Going back through everything. But this whole time, he's been sending me more packages than a lot of other labels that are constantly doing the updates. What's in here? I don't know. I'm just opening for the first time. Do you want to reach in? No, you go for it.

Jamie, do you want to reach in? I'll reach in. There's no pushpins or anything in there, is there? I can't. I can't. This just came in the mail brother I can't say I can't make any claims

either way and if you get hurt you're beefs with him oh he put a nice little handwritten sticky note thanks for all the fun love Matt

it's got a heart all the fun I wonder what he's talking about it must be some kind of code and this uh this tape is uh Spencer Adam Grady,

Passive Extremities for Conrad D. How many people is that? You just named a lot of people. What is this, a sextet? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh, my goodness. Two download codes poured out of that thing. Whoa.

Are you okay? Yeah. I saw you kind of like your whole top of your torso just went like down it's startling okay because i saw a look on your face and i said oh he's gonna grab that one download code and then all of a sudden you were like thrown across the room i don't know if these are three people or if this is like mary tyler moore or you know like wait a. You're saying it might be Mary Tyler Moore? Give me that. Now that she was an entertainer.

I think this is by one person. Mary Tyler Moore. We've settled on that. So what are we putting in again? This is Spencer Adam Grady. So this is the best of 2019 and you're putting just something in cold. Who said best of, Jamie? I don't know. I thought you said that. Hold on.

We're down to 62 now. and you're putting just something in cold. Who said best of, Jamie? I don't know. I thought you said that. Hold on. Taking some points off here. You're down to 62 now. Okay. I didn't say best of. I just said the year in... What did I say? I said it was funny. The year in...

Not rewind. The year in reverse winding. Slash employee review. Okay. Okay. I stand corrected. I'm man enough to know when I've made a mistake. Hold on.

I think we're getting some interference on the headphones. Is that my neighbor? Oh, my neighbor's singing again. Betty, we're doing a podcast here. Are you putting that reverb on? I just did that. I like to mix this a little bit. I say, if these assholes send us any tapes,

you can do whatever you want with them. The moment they show up at this house, they become public domain. No, that's not me. Ian, tell me something that J-Card says. And also, it's a 2019 release, right? He's not trying to get rid of his old shit, so he's like sending me stuff he put out eight years ago.

No, on the front cover it says, Patient Sound 116, PS116, and it's from 2019. Go to Joe. I'm not Joe. Let me say it. I already forget the name. What's with all these fucking sticky notes you're holding? Was this the only tape in the envelope?

No, there was another one. Oh, Jesus. Were you trying to keep that for yourself? Actually, there's two more. Two more. Two more. He's trying to keep this for himself. Second one.

I say we all get to pick one. Was a Hakobun tape. Oh. And the third one. Is that how you say that? Is MSage. Oh, really? A new MSage?

Oh, shit. Download code. Or is is it like uh this one is ps999 so this is uh the finale hold on nine nine is that a mate i think oh my god boys that's a big masonic number oh my goodness he skipped a few to get to that huh he skipped a few yeah yeah because what do you got there and what number is that 117 so he went from 117 to 999 what an idiot how did he make a mistake like that it's his label he can do whatever he wants think about this you run a tape label you have all the release numbers you up to 117 and then you totally biff and do 999 by mistake like a dummy. I'd be so embarrassed.

There's a lot of numbers bigger than that, too. I can think of a lot bigger. Than 999? Yeah. You can't get out of there. You know, instead of waiting for this tape to really get going, and I'm not saying it doesn't get going. I'm just saying I'm not waiting for it to get going.

Let's put on the MCH tape, which better get going right away. I got a lot of good stuff to say about the imprint on that tape, though, that we just took out. Look at that. That's like a milk chocolate covered shell. That is very chocolatey. What's the imprint color on it? It's a gem. Silver, maybe?

Is it silver on brown? No screws. Yeah, I don't like the no screws situation. What's that called, a prison shell? No, these are sonic welded. Jamie, you know, just because you have the answer doesn't mean you need to yell it out and let everyone know that you had it first.

You know what you are? I don't know. I'm taking some points right now. Because you are the mayor Pete of Tabs Out. I'm sorry. You've been designated. In 2020, you will be the mayor Pete of Tabs Out. I will only refer to you as Mayor Jamie.

Well, this is fucking tight. It's a shame about the release number, but this is good. Anything else in there? Oh, there was a third tape. No, there was three tapes. Oh, I got three of those. Yeah, the Hakababoon a fan strings and two guitars and then the mch anything else I'm any kind of any other note or

anything I just wonder this is probably our final correspondence I'll never speak to him again I would assume nothing else I hope you hold on to that sticky note what sticky note Thanks for all the fun? Yeah. Yeah, I'll hold on to it. I will be blocking him from text. You know what? Let's call him right now.

Let's see here. I don't know if I have his number, actually. We could call Joe B if it doesn't work out. We will be calling Joe B. Yeah, that is a tradition. No. Maybe I don't have his number have his number got a quick question for you why is there a rusty nail sitting on this

table don't touch that please please don't touch that that is art hi Mike what do you want excuse me don't ever speak to me like that again and not after you totally biffed on your stupid final release on your label and called it 999 when you weren't even at that number it made you look it made it made you look like a fool It ruined not only does it make you look like a fool It makes it it it puts a spot on your the legacy of your entire label And now I don't think yeah, I don't think anyone whenever they think of patient sales the only thing is a math dummy I have a big dummy I hung up on him.

Jeez. Ruthless. Was that too harsh? I thought it was kind of nice. It was a cute, it was a cute room. It was cute, yeah. You'll make up later.

This is fucking good though. Send him some of your tapes. No, never. Turn this up a little bit and fade this out. Let's listen to this tape. Thank you. You guys ready? Yeah. There it is. We're in. We're in.

We're back. We're back. We've been back. Oh, you're plugging this back in. M. Sage. Bias Folklore. The final release on Patient Sounds. Came out in 2019, which is this year year and I just got a text from Matt Sage

he was taking a bath when I called him and I ruined his bath too mean, too rough which I'm glad I ruined his bath of course you are if there's anything I meant set out to do when I started this podcast it was to be a little bit of a cassette hound and kind of root through these things and find the best ones

and ruin some fucking people's baths. Now, what do you think his bathtub looks like? Do you think it's like a claw-tooth tub? Do you think it's... That's a good question. You know what? Yeah. I bet it's like... Or do you think it's like a hot, like a sitting tub? No. Is it a... No, it's... I bet

it's... I'm trying to think. I'm going to say it's definitely porcelain, but not clawfoot. Oh, clawfoot, not clawtooth. Wait, clawtooth? I think it is clawtooth. Is it? No, it's got to be clawfoot. What would a clawtooth bat be?

I got to Google it now. We're such idiots. What would that even be? What is a clawtooth? They have the feet. They don't have... It's clawfoot. Yeah, it're such idiots. What would that even be? They have the feet. They don't have... It's clawfoot. Yeah, it's clawfoot. They best don't have teeth.

But I bet his does. But I bet his does have teeth. Excellent label. I'm sure if you listen to this podcast, you are well-versed in patient sounds. Yeah. I'm sure that... God, it has to be the case.

I beg of you it's the case. And we did a laser focus with Matt and now his label it's gone. Forever. I will not accept any mail from him. Ian, 2019

was a very scary year, a very fun year. How can you encapsulate that feeling in a cassette tape, Ian? Can you do it for your third tape tonight? I'll try. Well, what do you have? I'm going to play this tape I got this year. Before you go on with that, did we ever open up those dates?

Yeah. Dates are open. Can I get one? Can I get a date? Do they have pits? They're pitted, which means they don't have pits. Okay, thank you for the clarification. All right, go ahead.

What do you got? Delaware Dan. What? Oh, hell yeah. Playing Delaware Dan tape. This is, what is this tape called? I don't even know what this tape is called. Oh, Random Acts of Comedy, Volume 3.

So this is funny. Yeah. Well, yeah. Let me say it. This is Alex Homan. Yeah. A.K.A. Delaware Dan, correct? Have we played a Delaware Dan tape on the...

Not that I know of. I didn't even know he had tapes. There's a weird focus on outsider humor tonight, isn't there? It does seem to be. Does that seem to be the case? It's the only kind of humor I like.

With the Neil Hamburger and the notes on jazz. And now this. Some more funnies. Very interesting. This came out this year? Yeah. What's he do? He lives in Baltimore now. Plague 64 and the Hexagrams.

Yeah. Makes music under that name. With some other people or solo? I can't remember. I think it's a solo thing now. Are the Hexagrams other people like the Blowfish? Yeah. I think it's a rotating cask think Hootie's not the guy. I think it's a rotating cask. Hootie's not the main

guy. Right with Hootie and the blowfish? The guy's not Hootie. I don't know. Is it like Van Halen where like... Who's Van Halen? I'm sorry. I don't know who that is. Who's Van Halen? I'm sorry.

This just became scary. Same tape. I'm taking a point away i think we concluded drone is scary is there any is there any more funny on here yeah what's going on now this is scary ambient is that okay it

stopped that's weird i thought ambient drone was supposed to go for a long time i've always been under that impression you can do it short time too? Yeah, you can do anything. Everyone keeps saying that. I just don't agree. You put your mind to it, right? No, I just don't agree with that. I think that's Old Wives Tale. Bouncing all around.

This is a Doppler effect they call this. I remember this from my Vietnam days this makes me have flashbacks jumping out of the choppers Semper Fi fucking A Semper Fi man

you on SEAL team? what's SEAL I want him to talk again and do the funny stuff again it's there. There's a lot of bits like this, though, where it's... I hear it. This is like Delaware Dan's psychedelic album.

Amy, Dave, Ian. Okay. Oh, my God. Are you recording? We're at 52 minutes. We've been having too much fun. Oh, my God. I hate when that happens, but I like it so much.

What is your question? Am I allowed to play a comp for this? Ian, what do you say I take two of these bad boys? Go for it. I got them, brother. I won't tell anybody. What is your question?

Am I allowed to play a comp for this? Jamie, you're allowed to do whatever you want. Whatever I want? Ian all night has been saying you can do whatever you want, and I disagree. So I can play a tape from 2018? Oh, my God. Hold on. Loophole.

I found a loophole. How is this a loophole that you're just going to do it? Is the loophole that you can do anything you want? All right, so this album is... Hold on, wait. I haven't decided if this is okay yet. I'm a little confused. We're doing 2019.

That's the theme. And it's your goddamn employee review. And you're like, Boss, Boss, I biffed. I got a big old biff, boss. It's from last year. Why?

He wouldn't. It's been years he won't pick up my calls. I don't know how much he knows about painting, though. You might need to ask him what Joe thinks about painting. Hello? Hey, Dave. Hey, Jamie. What's up, man?

Hey, I just wanted to let. What's up, man? Hey, I just wanted to let you know this call is being recorded and you are on air. Oh, you son of a bitch. We got, oh my God. Are you touching my mixer? I might have farted in your seat too. How are my levels right now? How are my levels? I can't hear you, Dave.

I can't hear you. Is Jamie fucking up my levels? The levels are all off. Are you saying something? I'm turning the reverb up. He's got your levels down. He's got your levels lower than everybody else's levels. How could you do that to me? How could you do that to me? How could you do that to me?

On a Sunday? You called me on a Sunday? Were you in the bathtub? Yeah. You know who was in the bath tonight, too? M. Sage. What? M. Sage was taking a bath.

A cute little segue to get your job back. Yeah. Dave, can you hear me? You want me to pass the phone over? No, no. Just ask him.

I'll think about rehiring you. Ask Dave to, we're winding up 2019 here, and in 2019 and tapes his thoughts on on the year uh can see can you just give you your your thoughts on the tapes for this year 2019 too many tapes too many i agree those too many way too many see i agree i disagree i think there were only eight too many only eight too many i think there were eight too many? I think there were eight too many. I think that people should start just combining their releases onto tapes. Just lots of long players. Or like a label. Yeah, like C-250s.

Instead of a label putting out three releases, they can put out just triple cassettes. Yeah, there's not a lot of ferric oxide. No, no, Dave. I found a bunch. I found a bunch. I found a shitload of ferric oxide. There's only so much of it. I've actually been making it. Do you have to mine that?

With labor laws now. Well, with labor laws now, Jamie, you can't, you know... No, you can do it. You can't send the kids into the mines anymore. Ian's been saying you can do anything you know. No, you can do it. You can't send the kids into the mines anymore. Ian's been saying you can do anything you want. Yeah, Ian did say that. Yeah.

As many tapes as you want, everybody. Trump is trying to change it. He's trying to make America great again. I think, can we? And he's your president. It's a reminder. He gets into this when he doesn't know he's not on, when he knows where the podcast is going.

Yeah, I mean, people don't want to hear about politics on the show. Just tell him he can say what. I'm not really political. He's just the president. You're just speaking facts, objectively. He's just the president. Listen, I want the same things you want, okay? I want the same things you want.

Just don't tax me. Just don't touch my money. That's all. Free stuff, that sounds good. Just don't touch my money, man. That's true. What do you think about personal property? What do I think about personal property? What do I think about

personal property? Yeah. What? Like my mixture that you're on right now? Yeah. Good one, Dave. I got a problem with that.

I got a problem with that. I usually... I've got to build a little fence around it. Like a wall? Like a wall. Like a wall. For a moat. No, a moat. Dave's been saying he's going to build a wall like a wall days no days been saying he's gonna

build a wall around his tapes and and and spools out is gonna pay for it you can't hear you let's just hang yeah we got a we got to end this just hang up Dave it's been nice bye Dave all right it feels good to hang up on people Oh yeah, you get a thrill right And I'm hoping Joe B calls back

He might, do you know what we're listening to on this I believe this is the second track This is Millican Chamber Oh that said Milk Chamber This is Anna Schmidt and Kevin Snarek Oh Shadows is on here

Okay Is this all Ohio stuff This is Anna Schmidt and Kevin Snarek. Oh, Shadows is on here. Okay. Yeah. Is this all Ohio stuff? I don't know. That's weird because there's the first track, Cleveland, Ohio. Oh, then the second one is Los Angeles, California. Never mind.

I biffed. I biffed on it. I apologize. We're all biffing tonight. Biffing. We're all biffing tonight. You know what I did? I had a glass of wine. I had a glass of wine and now I'm biffing. We're all biffing the night. You know what I did? I had a glass of wine.

I had a glass of wine and now I'm biffing. In your bathtub? I wish. I'm going to get into the bathtub after this. And this is good bathtub music. I like this track. I feel like we played something for this. Are you sure this came out this year? February.

It's an early one. You know what, though? Let's talk about the... I don't know if the top 200 list will be out by the time the infamous... We all know. We all love the top 200 list. It sends shockwaves

to the cassette community each year and i've been calculating i've been turns down a little bit i've been calculating i have my calculators out trying to figure out exactly running the algorithms figuring out which tapes go in which slot what's going to be 117 what's going to be 118. how do you really pick between those two you have an algorithm for that well one8. How do you really pick between those two? Do you have an algorithm for that? Well, one year I... Do you have a neural net?

One year I had a haunted tape deck that I bought from a zombie. And when you put a tape in, instead of a plane, it just says the number that it is. Oh, okay. That's not cheating? That's the thing. I felt like a cheater. Yeah.

I felt like a complete loser. Yeah. So I did have Al Gore write me an algorithm. But the thing is, is he wrote it with epstein and i just didn't feel right using it no no i just didn't know he got a virus that the fc joke really fell flat there didn't that definitely gonna cut that it's too real too serious um it is yeah you can make 9-11 jokes at this point though they're funny now what was I going to say about the top 200 list though it's not going to be done no it will be done

I don't remember I think somebody should make a top 200 or like a top list the next year so that if somebody releases a tape on 1231 it's in the running. Well, you know what I always say? What?

I always say that if it came out in 2018, or if it came out in the previous year, in December, then it just counts. Okay. Then it just, who cares? That's fair. That's fair. Round up, round up. I think there was some stuff on the, on like the last year's list that came out the year before.

Who cares? Who cares? Also, if it came out like two years before, who cares? It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean anything. Who cares? And Ian, you've been saying all night,

you can do whatever you want. You can do whatever you want. I would just, just be careful that Snopes doesn't catch you. Wow, what is Snopes going to do? Fact check you. Fact check the list? Yeah.

You think they'll give me a Pinocchio? All right. What are you playing? I feel like, do I want to go out on like, if I'm being honest, I play the Wise Blood tape. I play something from the Wise Blood tape. So do it. I'm going to go out on that. Do you think? That'd be good. I play the Wise Blood tape. I play something from the Wise Blood tape. So do it. I go out on that. Do you think?

That'd be good. I haven't heard it yet. You guys keep talking about it. You haven't heard it? I haven't heard it yet. It's great. I hate to say it. It was kind of cool.

I don't know where it is now. I thought I brought it up and it was right here. Did you find it? Uh-huh. And we're back. All right. What was I saying? And I am back, and I did find it.

I'm 100% playing the Wiseblood tape, the Titanic Rising tape that Sub Pop put out. I went to see her like a month ago. And I thought the show, the day of the show when I was driving to it, I was like oh let me see where this show, what's it at? Johnny Brenda's I'm thinking. Sure. Something like that. Somewhere in Philly.

The auto bar in Baltimore. I've been there. I played there once actually. Yeah, no one wants to hear you brag about that. I know a lot of celebrities. Name a few celebrities. What I'm getting at, first of all, is I had to drive all the way to Baltimore, and I didn't feel like it. But I did, and it was a fucking great show.

I like the auto bar. It's got a balcony, just like Johnny Brenda's. Yeah, it's a good spot. Name some of the celebrities you know. Can't think of any off the top of my head. I'll get back to you. I won't let... You just won't believe them now? Yeah.

All my thoughts. This is good. This is really good. This whole fucking thing is good. You know what? Let's just let it go out on this and then the next track, and that'll be the end. And that'll be our 2019.

And, boys, you both did excellent. The employee review thing, I gotta let you know, I'm just busting your chops. You both talked right into those microphones, and you both did excellent. The employee review thing. I gotta let you know, I'm just busting your chops. You both talked right into those microphones and you both played tapes this whole year. The tapes worked! A podcaster can't ask for much more than that. You made me so proud. Put wires in different places.

You did excellent. The tapes worked! No problem. Thank you. Let's go on the Spice Boat Tape. Me and Ian are going to form a union, though. I will not allow that. I will not. And I will come down on you hard.

So don't fuck with me. All right. head and put you into the ground. So don't talk with me. Alright, so the reason why you're hearing my voice, Stellar Dan, is the voice of Stellar Dan,

by the way, I'm a lawyer on retainer from Tabs Out to legalize the episodes once again. So you might have been hearing this, listening back. These are not the original way the episodes sounded when they first came out. They are a little bit different because the AI robots have flagged the accounts of copyright law infringement,

which we are combating with the Make Tabs Out Legal Again initiative by delward dean so that's why i'm here to say that this part of the tape had a very you could tell the boys were on an all-time high and provide a little bit commentary on this situation that was going on bonus year ender 2019 great year um but you know uh pretty much you know they uh you know they played a little bit too much wise blood and that's what we are quote unquote not listening to right now it's not wise blood and um you know sometimes you just the boys need to be feeling themselves listening to wise blood i don't mean that. That came out wrong.

I didn't mean to say it like that. But you know what I mean. So I do want to take this opportunity to shout out everybody that supported us at the combination Pizza Hut Urgent Care. Huge lifesavers.
