Episode number 1666.
I'm Mike
and it's a very special one because
happy birthday
to me
it's the very
special
the last episode we did in person
was exactly a year ago
I forget
exactly why we stopped doing it
what happened Dave you got your license
taken away? Why don't we do
a move or zoom now?
I got a DUI and I broke my leg.
And it still hasn't healed, right?
I slipped on a banana peel.
And I still say you should go to the doctors
and get it taken care of because I can see
bone. I'm a Christian scientist.
I can see bone though. I a Christian scientist. I can see bone, though.
I just pray every day really hard.
Sound like a beer can getting flattened.
And it's getting better.
It's not as pussy anymore.
Happy birthday to me.
I got bad news for you, Joe.
It's very, very pussy. I still don't have my license back, though.
Well, but that's because you chose to give it up, right?
Well, I was kind of bullied into giving it up.
I mean, if we're being honest.
Joe did bully.
The prosecutor was a little bit smarter than me.
Well, Joe, you were the prosecutor, though.
Joe, you were the prosecutor?
Oh, sorry, Dave.
Yeah.
Blind jury.
Remember how you kept remarking how the prosecutor's bone was sticking out of his leg?
That was Joe.
That was me.
I'm just getting into law.
You were just getting into law.
Yeah.
I think you got a knack for it, man.
You could pick me.
Pretty good at it.
So have we figured out how many years this has been?
Eight or nine.
I think it's nine.
Nine times.
Let me see.
Let me see when the first episode was.
Nine.
There's no way you're going to be able to figure that out.
Type in the code.
iTunes tabs out.
Oh, leave a review wire there, by the way.
No one leaves reviews.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, you know.
Should we talk about our new merch?
Oh, you mean this baller-ass coffee mug I'm drinking out of?
Yeah, that was my segue into that.
Who's this asshole that gave us four stars?
It holds coffee in it.
How much?
So good.
How many ounces?
How much?
Like, there's got to be eight ounces in here.
Six to eight, right?
There's got to be six to eight ounces in here.
And yeah, it's got the Tabs Out design on it.
Who did that design again?
Dane Patterson did the design a while ago.
A while ago we did shirts.
There's a bunch of goofs up there now.
I did some bad stuff.
Oh, tons of goofs.
Joe, Joe, I did some bad things.
I goofed on a lot of the Sub Pop Records goof shirt.
That one's good.
I want to get that one.
How do I order that?
You go to the
You punch in tabsout.com
You click on the merch. You gotta do that.
It's the only way to get to it.
To our merch.
You just log right in.
Dave, did you figure out how many
years it's been? Hard time figuring out
how long we've been doing this.
No, maybe he's just standing still. I'm just standing perfectly still okay my doctor told me i need to start standing perfectly
still more um what can i choose what kind of t-shirt i want to get are you doing a commercial
right now are you really interested well it's a little bit of both like i'm trying to kill time
why dave is uh searching for how many years we've been doing this. The conversation should be over in two seconds.
And I want the listeners to know that, you know, like, this is, yeah, this is a little commercial.
Yeah, man.
It's got all kinds of stuff.
All kinds of shirts.
All kinds of cell phone cases.
Yeah, man.
Like, V-neck.
Can I get a long-sleeve baseball t-shirt?
You can get a crew neck.
Fuck.
You can get a crew neck.
Yeah, you can fuck in it.
Imagine me fucking in jazz a crew neck
tabs out shirt i don't want to think about that with the jay car template on it with the peralta
with the ripper yeah i goofed on that too oh man oh it's good it's very good i'm enjoying it 2013
was the one year anniversary show so what does that mean? What year is it now? So it started in 2012, man?
Happy birthday to me.
Happy birthday.
So this is the nine-year anniversary, huh?
Yeah, nine-year anniversary.
Damn.
That's insane.
That's insane.
Still at it.
What about one more year
and it's 10 years?
Holy shit.
Are you sure?
You're right, man. 10 years. Holy shit. Are you sure? You're right, man.
10 years.
Oh, and next month.
Not now, but next year.
Yeah, next year from now.
Yeah.
Next month, though.
I don't know how much time speeds up when you get older.
It's fucked up.
It does speed up.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So anyway.
Is that the Flintstones?
Oh, that's just some General Hanna-Barbera scrambling feet.
Oh, okay.
That's all it is.
The Flintstones drive.
Just fucking walk.
Dave?
Dave, you froze.
What did you say?
I said, why do you have a family of four paddling with their feet?
Well, I think just Fred paddles with his feet.
He paddles for the whole family.
It was different back then. It was different back then.
It was different.
Just walk, man.
You got those big stone tires.
That probably does add some weight now that you mentioned.
Stone tires are going to add weight.
I don't understand.
It seems so much more complicated.
Well, I think it was more of an aesthetic choice.
I think it was more of an aesthetic choice i think it was more of an aesthetic choice that was an aesthetic choice yeah like i get the bird playing the records
you know i mean you get that huh i get it because like you're not going to be able to like
listen to records otherwise what's this you can just walk if you're going to use your feet, just walk.
Just walk, man.
Real quick about the bird that plays the records.
Just think about this.
Instead of walking somewhere, sit in your office chair and paddle with your feet.
This conversation will be over in two seconds.
So the bird is playing the record with its beak, right?
The beak is the stylus.
Can I ask a question?
Is the sound coming out of its ass?
No, it's resonating in its mouth.
That doesn't make any sense.
I think the sound... It's a cartoon.
I think if you actually did it,
if you actually did it,
use the bird to do that,
I think the sound would really come out of its ass.
And I don't say that in a braggadocious way
or to joke or anything.
Braggadocious?
Why are you bragging about that?
I'm not.
That's the point is that I'm not.
Oh, okay, okay.
All right.
Maybe it'll work.
Maybe if it was like a vulture
because they don't have an anus, right?
Like a sphincter.
They don't have a sphincter.
They definitely have an anus.
Where's the sound come out?
I changed it. I changed it. They don't have a sphincter. They definitely have an anus. Where's the sound come out? I changed it.
I changed it.
They don't have a sphincter.
Okay.
That'd be good.
Oh, so it just comes out and they can't control it.
They can't control it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So don't listen to anything too bassy.
Oh, yeah.
Did you know your eyes have a sphincter muscle?
No.
Mine don't, Dave.
Maybe yours do, brother, but there's no way.
There's a sphincter muscle in your eyes.
Really? Not mine. Yeah, it's a speaker muscle in your eyes. Really?
No, it's fucked up, right?
Huh.
All right, you're not a doctor, so let's play some tapes.
I had a surgery for that.
Let's play some tapes.
All right, who wants to go first?
Well, it's the big birthday show.
Mike, it's the birthday show.
You go first, baby.
Can I really?
This is your bag.
Happy birthday to me.
What do I want to start it off with?
Happy birthday to me.
You know what?
What?
You know what?
I'll let you play, too.
Can I really?
Yeah.
Oh, now I'm really.
Okay, I'm going to play.
I'll play this one, and I'll play.
Don't get too handy.
I'm going to start out with these two.
I'm going to start off with. He said to start out with these two. I'm going to start off with
He said I could do two. He let me do two.
It's his birthday.
It's his birthday. Okay.
Happy birthday to
Yeah, I would say that through some
sort of osmosis, the Tabs Out
anniversary is also my birthday.
And that is official. That's
canon. That's canon. So
Larry Wish. We know larry wish we know
larry wish runs the label bumpy bumpy label a little bumpy it's like when fred flunstone's
driving his car it's like it's gonna get a little bumpy and it's like yeah you got rock wheels
they're not even round it would be a lot smoother of a trip.
You just get out and walk.
This is a tape called Comb Hair.
It was released originally in like 2012, maybe.
I feel like I have that one.
Do you?
I'm looking for the label it was originally on.
Soothing Almonds Collective.
I recognize that cover.
This drawing of this
wacky person.
Yeah, this is like a
it looks kind of like if you
went to a fancy restaurant
in like a weird comic
book. This is the guy would be like
he wouldn't seat me there.
The guy with the weird hair tumor
on his cheek? His hair tumor
on the side yeah yeah well that
might be yeah who knows what that is soothing almond collective originally put this out uh
remastered soothing soothing i don't see what's so hard about that soothing almond collective
normal words normal words normal words no it's funny it is almond collective sounds like a lotion
company well it might be i don't know
what else they do uh they remastered the music i think they remastered the drawing a little bit too
i think they made it remastered the artwork yeah because originally it went back into it i'll tell
you what happened this drawing it was like originally like a stupid drawing by a kid
and then this version is like when the dad gets the kids drawing and kind of traces over it that's what that makes it a little
bit better but anyway there's a track on here every every dad does that right a big time yeah
that's where most of my art comes from hold my hand by hooting the blowfish he covers that song oh yeah yeah and
it's really good so i'm gonna start off with that and then you know what both you i'm gonna let you
i'll defer to you guys you both pick one and then i'll close out the block with another one
all right and dave may go oh i can you go. I'll start off with this Jeff Gregory tape.
Advanced MIDI Projects, Volume 1 on, what was it again?
Intensive Purposes.
Did you say Advanced MIDI Projects?
Advanced MIDI Projects, Volume 1.
There's a picture of a keyboard on the cover here.
A keyboard in both senses. A keyboard in QWERTY and KEED, right?
Yeah, it does kind of have like a computer keyboard.
A program, maybe like a program section or something.
I think before we get too deep into that,
we need to address, I don't know if I'm
I have the ability to
listen to an advanced MIDI project.
Well, this is the thing, Mike, is
I don't understand what the
especially this first track, I don't
understand what the fuck it is.
It's
one of the tags on Bandcamp is
post-dance. dance oh like after the dance
so this is sexual music that's why dave didn't understand it
oh i know what this is yeah don't don't try to
don't try to don't try to... Olive Garden had Revolt by never.
So, yeah.
I don't know what this is.
I don't know if post-dance is a genre.
Maybe it is.
Yeah, probably.
But it's like...
I'll tell you.
Once you turn in your late 30s, early 40s,
all the young people start making new genres.
And they don't even tell you about them
until they're 20 albums deep
i know it's just i know i don't like it it's a turtle i see on band camp it's a i like turtles
vaporwave happened and i was like what is this and we really stewed on it for a little bit
40 50 genres have been born since then yeah and i know I know nothing about. And now they make post-glunk,
and it's like, well, what was glunk?
What was glunk?
Did you do glunk yet?
Does post-glunk come before glunk?
Yeah, because I feel like dance music
has been around forever,
and we just came out with post-dance.
We already have post-genres for genres
that came out six months ago.
I don't know, and I'm not even going to get into it.
But I do see on Bandcamp, it says no computers.
Yeah, it's all hardware, MIDI stuff.
Well, I got a question for you.
If there's no computers, how to get on Bandcamp?
How did you get it on there?
What a biff. What a huge there? What a biff.
What a huge failure.
What a huge failure.
Maybe this guy isn't so advanced.
Maybe I can listen to this.
I think you'll get it.
You know what kind of grinds my gears a little bit about this tape?
This is just an aesthetic choice.
The catalog number on the spine. i don't know if you boys can
see this that little swirly text i see swirly text at the bottom it says there that's the catalog
number it is it it spells out intensive purposes number 17 like it spells out 17 it spells out
intensive purposes number 17 that's what all that text is.
What are they supposed to do when they get up to a big number like 74?
Write that out?
Well, I mean.
That's going to take up the entire spot.
It's probably comparably a similar amount of characters.
But just don't.
I mean, it would look nice to have all those little swirlies.
It would be like having a bonfire on your shelf, kind of.
Yeah.
You can't see the catalog number just at a glance.
Yeah, you got to really get in there.
Is the artist's name on the spine?
Oh, yeah.
Everything else, like, the most important stuff is very prominent.
But if I was going to sort this by number.
Dave likes to search for his releases by number.
He's like, I wanna listen to number 64.
Yeah, you get into a good mood,
you wanna listen to the 13th release on all the labels.
Yeah, it's 13th release Friday.
He's like, you know.
Friday the 13th, you listen to it.
Friday the 13th, all the 13th releases
from all his favorite labels.
Yeah, some people smoke a cigarette.
Some people smoke a cigarette after sex.
On our show?
To all the 69th releases.
We talk about that a lot on me and B's show a lot.
Stop saying you guys have your own show.
Okay?
Not on the-
Right now, I really like your lighting, Dave,
because it looks like you're wearing a matching purple,
light purple shirt and light purple hat.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You look good. I really am thinking like, that's a good- I think you shirt and light purple hat. Oh yeah.
You look good.
I really am thinking like,
that's a good,
I think you can pull that look off.
I think I could too.
Yeah.
I think you could.
Light purple lavender might be your color.
I would say this,
Dave,
if with like a light lavender polo and a lavender baseball hat,
you could be the dumbest dude in the shittiest crew.
All right, B, what tape do you have?
All right, I'm going to play...
No disrespect.
Oh, my God.
Come on.

In the Mistborn. I need to check that out. You told me about that
before and I forgot.
I've been having
trouble reading actually lately.
I need something good. I've been getting hard
into it lately. I'm reading like 20
books right now.
I read a little bit of this one, a little bit of that one. See, I can't do that. I've been getting hard into it lately. I'm reading like 20 books right now. You know, I read a little bit of this one, a little bit of that one.
See, I can't do that.
I got to commit to one and that's it.
And then do it.
Well, I'm having a hard time.
And every fucking fantasy book is 20 fucking volumes.
Yeah.
Well, I'm trying to read Lord of the Rings.
That's my goal for this year.
See, I've only read The Hobbit.

A Relic from the Sands of Time. I'm going to play something from a relic
from the sands of time
so this is
a relic from the sands of time and
where dragons dream

put this shit straight in my veins
I see the themes here are
nature
spirit worship
and dark corridor

so I guess that's the kind of shit we're gonna
hear
dark corridor

Hard corridor.
Hard corridor is a good name for a band.
Soft corridor.

All right.
Straight as hard corridor.
No, you said I could do two.
You promised me.
You promised me.
I forgot.
I promised. I promised.
Okay.
Your Honor.
Your Honor, put your bone back in your leg.
Now, Joby.
I just started law.
You know what I mean?
You came through with a nice tall double case, right?
Yeah.
What do you got, a triple?
But you know I can't be outdone, son.
What?
And you know it's a triple
I love those cases
I love you
here's the thing
mine was a one
Joe's was a two and yours is a three
I start off with a one
kind of like a fake out
like Allen Iverson going one way and then
the answer
then Joe went two Joe and two and i went three
because you know i saw this came out this pedestrian deposit tape it's actually a reissue
of three tapes that were originally released all monorail trespassing i'm looking for it now and I'll find it very quickly in 2003
three separate tapes
came out
but I am a
slut for the tall cases
so when I saw this I just
had I just bounced on it
when they came out in 2003 it was like
an addition of 45 I'm not sure
what this is but it's way more than that
it's got to be you know I would I'm just going to this is, but it's way more than that. It's got to be, you know, I would
I'm just going to guess 100.
Who knows? It's a good number to guess.
It's hard to go wrong with that.
No, yeah, it's good. It's a good.
It's like, how many times did you eat today?
I don't know.
Probably 100. 100? You ate 100
times today? Like bites? Joe, you just told me
it was a good number to guess.
For a release, For a cassette release.
Not how many times you ate.
How many times?
You eat a lot.
How many shits you take today?
Like a hundred probably.
That's not good, man.
It doesn't work?
Mike, I want to ask you a personal question.
Okay, go.
I'm an open book and I'm actually proud
of all my choices so
go ahead since switching to the bidet okay here we go yeah i'm ready and you sit to pee now
right all the time even even on other toilets yeah oh me too yeah do you poop almost every time
you know i was gonna write the bidet company about this every time i sit down
just a little bit just a little it's like it's summoned by the bidet now dave you won't
understand this because you don't have one if that's cool some of my friends have nasty asses
and nasty ass cracks and that's so it's whatever yeah me and joe b me and joe b got dumb trucks to take care of come on i have wet wipes ain't enough yeah but wet wipes are bad they're clogging up the they're
clogging up oh i put them in the trash i don't put them in the trash yeah but i go over dave's
house take them out of the trash and flush them so yeah i uh yeah i poop every time i pee every
goddamn time like i pee like probably 20 times a day. I'm not peeing that many times.
But you know what?
I feel like
I only feel the need
to do the
dookie
on the toilet with the bidet.
Yeah, it's not that
I set out to poop.
I never set out to poop.
I just sit down to pee because
I don't want to splash it on the bidet
and etc.
I heard a podcast
from a guy that was friends with a maroon
that said you should always pee sitting down
because it's just cleaner.
Just pay attention.
You want to honestly know why i started sitting everywhere
it was actually pre-bidet i got a new i got a new toilet that's like more oval shaped okay
and the geometry of the toilet splashes my pee onto the ground no matter what angle i
uh pee at yeah you know what that is?
It's these feminist woke toilet makers.
These woke toilet makers.
The woke toilet police.
I gotta get a beer.
It's gonna be wild.
We gotta get Dave one.
I don't understand why he's apprehensive.
It's in the only
bathroom I have.
What are people gonna say about it? It's not like not like they're gonna be like oh my god you have
a bidet i know so here comes yeah what guests do you have my mom's gonna come over and be like
there's this weird faucet you want to take the flush trust me you want to take the flush your
mom has seen or used a bidet before in her life you a cake to flush? So it's debilitating, erase, and stitching
are the three pedestrian deposit tapes.
Where do we see pedestrian deposit?
It was in Philadelphia somewhere.
Some sort of stringed cello instrument involved.
Yeah, Shannon Kennedy plays with Jonathan,
is it Jonathan Borge?
It was them, and what's the jazz guys we like?
Three Piece.
I like the classics.
Miles, Coltrane.
We saw him on Voice of the Valley before.
It was like in West Philadelphia.
In all his respects to silence,
it serves as a temptation for creativity.
I'm pretty sure it was Tiger Hatchery and Pedestrian Deposit,
but I could be totally mixing shows together
I feel like you are
yeah
no we
we definitely saw them
me and you
but I've definitely seen them before
when it was more like
harsh noise With a little love and some tenderness
We'll walk upon the water and rise above this mess
With a little peace and some harmony
We'll take the world together, we'll take a cloud of history
I've got a hand for you
Cause I wanna run with you Yesterday, I saw you standing there
Your head was down, your eyes were red
And a comb was up your hair

Jeff Gregory.
When you hear the name Jeff Gregory, what's the first thing that pops into your head?
Two dudes hanging out.
Best friends since high school.
Oh, wait a minute.
I was under the impression Jeff Gregory was in Public Works.
I thought this was a solo project.
This is two people. If you say, you know, without that information beforehand,
if you were, the way you set it up,
if you said Jeff Gregory, bring to mind,
it's two dudes hanging out.
Yeah, it's two dudes that always hang out together.
So they're like one unit.
Advanced MIDI project, volume one, intensive purposes.
I would like it to be, it's Jeff and Gregory. They're twins, but. Advanced MIDI Project, Volume 1, Intensive Purposes. I would like it to be it's Jeff and Gregory.
They're twins, but not with each other.
Like they each have two other twins.
Ancient Boreal Forest.
So like a really cold, old forest.
Very scary trees.
A relic from the sands of time on Out of Season.

I'll probably play two more.
Should we sandwich this?
Like, I'll be the cream and the Oreo cookie.
I know you have, like, 20 tapes to play.
No, I honestly don't.
I have three, and Dave has...
How many do you have, Dave?
Three.
Three.
I'll tell you what.
I don't have...
I do have...
I have maybe four.
Maybe four, but I'll see how frisky I am.
I like when it's a wild card. I go play a lot, but I'll see how frisky I am. I like when it's a wild card.
I could play a lot,
but I
cap myself at five,
and that is what I've done. It's a gentleman's
agreement I made with myself.
But I will be the cream
in this Oreo, and you guys can be the
double cream in this
Oreo. Double stuff, baby.
Oh, that is true. It is going to be double stuff, you're the double cream in this. Oh, baby. Yeah.
Oh,
that is true.
It is going to be double stuff.
It's always double stuff with you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
I'm not going to begin to pronounce the next tip.
I'm going to play,
give it a shot.
I'm going to spell it.
Well,
you want me to give it a shot?
Oh,
Che in Salwit.
Uck-chay-sal-a-wit.
Sounds good to me, Joe.
Yeah, it sounds good.
Sounds good to me.
Well, there's a lot of accent marks.
U-K-C-H-E-A-N-S-A-L-A-W-I-T.
You know what it kind of looks like?
It kind of looks like there's like elbow macaroni above some of the letters.
And then an inverted triangle.
Yeah, elbow macaroni on a couple.
Or like somebody beat up the Amazon logo.
This is some straight up native Alaskan black metal.
This tape's called Alaskan Escape.
I watched that show.
Too scary.
Yeah, it was okay.
It was pretty good.
They take the, what would it be?
You take a family from Hawaii
and force them to live in Alaska.
Force them to live in Alaska.
You switch the families, yeah.
Because we all know the opposite of Alaska is Hawaii.
It's Hawaii.
Yeah.
And then they have to escape.
They have to get back to Hawaii.
This tape's on Less Production.
You can do it.
Heretics.
Yeah, you played something on this label last episode, I believe.
Heretics, that's what it is
less production heretics hold it up i want to take a look at it is it black gold silver
no it's it's more just uh bluish grays okay like an alaskan thing yeah
what is with this one blank panel at the end? There's some text on it.
It's like typewriter text.
It's really small.
It's hard to see, kind of.
Yeah, yeah.
And then on the spine is some Pacific Northwest tribal kind of design.
You know what I mean?
Nice.
Like Heda.
Okay, yeah.
We're talking about Canadians here?
Well, this is Alaska.
So we took that part of Canada from them.
Okay, that's where they are.
Yeah, that's where they are.
They're in Alaska, which is God bless America.
I mean, it's the greatest country on earth,
but yeah, we took a little bit.
No, but this is native Alaskan depressive black metal.
Specifically depressive?
What is with you?
It's in the description on the band camp.
Native depressive black metal.
Are you only doing...
I'm worried that you are only listening
to depressive dark corridor music.
Well, you know what?
I think in spring
here, I think it's
going to be a big change.
So you think... See, I think it'd be safer
to listen to this kind of stuff in spring.
Dave, maybe you agree with me.
It'd be... No, I'm kind of
with Joe on that. I listen to this
stuff when it's too scary
to listen to it. Yeah, it's too scary.
It's cold. it's nighttime at
four five o'clock that's kind of now it's spring and i'm listening to ween okay yeah
so you're not as scary maybe maybe you'll get a haircut you'll shave your beard down a little bit
i think i'm gonna shave my head you look good look good with your head. You could pull it off.
I think I can do it.
I mean, yeah, new bidet, new man.
I say you shave that head.
I keep thinking about it, but I'm not sure yet.
I say you shave the head and the beard.
Everything.
And then you come over here, and usually let me rub you like a ball.
I'll do the eyebrows, too.
No.
I might as well do the eyebrows, too.
No, you have beautiful eyebrows don't tell
them to do that i have very thick eyebrows sometimes they touch my eye and then that's
very i'm like ah my eyebrows grow faster my eyes are going crazy i don't think my eyebrows
you should have pulled your collar like my eyebrows and my eyebrows grow more than my hair
does you know what i mean. Oh, my God.
All right, am I going to throw some cream in this sandwich?
Oh, it's a double...
Double soft Oreo.
It's like the Big Mac, right?
So it's bread, meat, bread,
meat? No. Bread? No.
It's...
I am the cream, and you guys are the cookies.
Oh, we're the cookies.
So I'm cookie, now you're cream.
Now I'm cream, baby.
I got two of them here I'm going to play.
A double cream.
You're playing double cream. They should make Oreos like Big Macs.
Do double stuff but put a layer of cookie in between the two layers.
I would like that.
Hold on.
So let's workshop this a bit.
I think we're rushing.
We'd be fools to just rush right over this.
So you're saying, like, cookie on the bottom, then what?
No, no, start at the top.
Then cream.
Well, you got, let's go over the basics.
Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles,
onions on a sesame seed bun.
So you need, I need you, I need you to figure out all all of those no what he's saying
is just like if we start at the bottom cookie cream cookie cream cookie i don't think that's
big mac enough you're not going to get away with calling that a big mac oreo no no i'm not calling
it a big mac adjacent see It's Big Mac adjacent.
See, I think it's like burger-flavored cream.
Ew.
Right?
The actual Big Mac sauce, the dressing.
So when you take them out of the packaging,
they're wet when you take them out.
They're already wet.
Every one of these comes in a little cardboard box, by the way.
But it's not in packaging that you open up up that then there are little individual cardboard boxes and i'm gonna have to ask that this cardboard is actually
plastic i think we should use plastic well no it's 2020 man green go green no peace peace
but i'm actually pushing against that i've been pushing against that recently
i've done a big plastic i want a big plastic thing yeah i want every one of them in a blister pack.
I want every one of them.
So it's in Big Mac Oreo.
They all come in the tall CD cases.
Remember the plastic things that CDs used to be in?
Yeah, yeah.
I stole one of those from Jamesway.
Dr. Feelgood.
Are you serious?
I got busted.
The crew.
Who busted you? I got busted the like people in the store that like
look for shoplifters oh man you got busted by you couldn't even get out of the store
well i got outside and they were like guy you punk and what did they do did you run well we
had to go no i was with my mom and then they took me to like where they didn't do anything, but then that was the only time
my dad slapped me in the face.
Okay.
And then they showed me all my birthday presents
because it was right before my birthday,
and I didn't get any of them.
But they showed them to me.
Wait, the store did?
No, my parents when I got home.
The store had access to your birthday gifts?
But you know what's funny?
You know what's funny?
I also stole a whole bunch of G.I. Joes,
and they didn't bust me for those.
They only called me for the Molly Cruz CD.
And that's funny because your name is also Joe.
Go to Joe.
Yeah, because I opened the G.I. Joes
and put them in my pocket.
I learned a lot.
All right, you ready for my tape?
Zeke Ultra is the name.
I found this dude.
Did I even, did I do a tape yet?
You are the other cookie.
You are the other cookie.
So Joe B is going to be, what Oreo do you have that's cookie, cookie cream?
I forgot about that conversation.
Why are you buying scratch and dent Oreos from the fucked up store?
That's all cookie cookie cream.
Zeke Ultra.
Tape is called From Time.
This dude is from Delaware.
What?
Which is where I am from.
Which is the place I live at.
We all live there.
You guys both.
We're all living there.
Happy birthday to me.
Happy birthday. Happy birthday. this is a rapper from delaware i found on
band camp about this yeah i found him on band camp he had a brand new tape coming out
ordered the tape started researching the dude because one thing i was thinking of was and this
happened to me before of thinking someone's from from Delaware and they're from Delaware, Ohio.
Do you remember that happening with like Lamb's Bread, that band Lamb's Bread?
Yeah.
And like there were people associated with them and like, but they were, that Delaware, Ohio was not, but I think this dude is definitely from Delaware.
Because he's part of something called the Bad Apple Commune, which is like, I think it's out of Philly. I think it started out
as a rap collective and has
expanded to more
genres, but it's
a collective of black artists out of Philadelphia.
I'm looking for some of the names here.
I wrote some stuff down. Huey the Cosmonaut.
Black Costanza.
Black Costza?
Blackistanza
I was waiting for some kind of response
for that one
yeah I guess he's like
none of those very good
he's the only guy out of the group
he's really good
but it's like
what's his name again?
the name is Zeke Ultra
Zeke Ultra
which I really hope
that's his real name
I don't know
Ultra's not really
don't call me Mr. Ultra
Mr. Ultra's my dad's name.
Call me Zeke.
But I'm going to play two tracks off of this.
Robert A.
Key,
Aubrey,
low and Ariel comma.
Notes above land.
It's a collaboration tape.
Did we see these dudes play like outside of Philly?
Yeah. The gardens place.
It was in an adobe hut.
Oh, is this used?
What's that?
Nice.
It was in a clay hut, wasn't it?
It was not a clay hut.
It was a regular building.
Are you sure it wasn't a rounded clay hut?
No, it was a regular building.
I think one side was all glass as far as the entrance is concerned.
It was definitely a crazy building.
It was a weird architectural building, but it wasn't a clay hut.
I think it was like a Fred Flintstone building.
It wasn't like a Fred Flintstone.
Are you sure?
Like a building that Fred Flintstone could drive with his feet?
Yeah, so we saw these guys play outside of Philly.
It was in this kind of igloo. It was like an adobe igloo. Yeah, so we saw these guys play outside of Philly. It was like in this kind of igloo.
It was like an Adobe igloo.
Sure, sure.
I think I'm right.
Adobe igloo brought to you by the makers of Photoshop.
Photoshop made it.
Change the filters and make it look any way you wanted.
Actually, that's a good name for a band, Adobe igloo.
No, it was a cool show.
I've never been to a show in a clay hut like that before.
A clay hut.
It wasn't a clay hut, but I'll give it to you.
A clay hut with steel railings around the perimeter.
I remember the steel railings.
Pull up a picture of it.
I don't remember what that place is called just google
philadelphia weird it was like right off at 95 or something right and like yeah it's like marshland
it's it's it's yeah it that place is right off by 95 like i guess kind of on like the pre-west
of philadelphia yeah there's nothing else around it, really. Yeah, it's like a grassland-y,
marshy area
with a garden-type vibe to it.
What year was that?
I don't know what year that was, honestly.
I couldn't even guess.
That could have been 20 years ago.
It could have been 20 years ago, I think.
It's probably like 2012.
This tape was recorded in
2015 and it says rehearsal
recordings possibly
possibly
they were preparing for the
Clay Hutt show
and they recorded some of these
the Hutt show? Clay Hutt
show they played the Clay Hutt
show I swear
I swear it was a Clay Hut.
And it was rounded. I swear.
I'll put it in the show notes later. It was like some kind of
garden community. It's a garden community
place. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That show
was cool. And then the people that
played before them
used that MIDI
thing that hooks
up to plants or something. something hooks up to plants yeah yeah
the midi sprout yeah i don't remember this at all are we talking about the same show
yeah they're from philly uh the people that make this midi device that hooks up to plants
and then it uses it just kills the bio feedback thing from plants
to create MIDI notes to interact.
Oh, hold on.
No, it's not a goof.
It's not a goof.
It sounds like a goof.
No, no, no, no, no.
There's no way it's real.
This is a bio interaction between machine and plant.
Okay, that's cool.
It was real.
This tape comes inside.
There's a lot, like, strap in,
because there's some layers here.
It comes inside one of these, like, you know,
cassette cardboard mailers that you would send a tape in the mail.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Which I hate when people use these for the release,
because, one, I never know, like, is this part of the packaging?
Or is that packing material?
You throw that away.
You think I throw it away?
Well, recycle it, dick.
It's got the...
There's a Sublime logo on that, so you keep that.
Oh, yeah, keep the Sublime logo.
I'm going to get that tattooed, actually, on my lower back.
That's like the Henry Rollins has his tattooed on his lower back.
So when I do like a – not a wheelie, like a jump on my –
A bunny hop.
My BMX, and my shirt comes up a little bit, you see that tattoo.
That'd be sad.
I like that. Okay okay so what am i
doing am i keeping or throwing it away you keep it so i'll keep that and then inside there then
there's like a a uh a brad pack a fold-out brad pack wait wait another cardboard another cardboard
thing there's more i i deny it so go back throw away the first thing right in the trash can
because there's because so you're saying to me because there's if there's two carboards the first
one's gone so you're calling an audible and the whole thing so the throw this away boom right in
the toilet you want me to flush this down the toilet yeah put that in your toilet i'll put this
in my toilet now Now, hold on.
There's also... You can probably handle it.
You're not putting toilet paper down there right now.
No, no.
It's probably baggy.
The toilet's probably like, I'm so hungry.
So then there's like this, like a fold out.
I wouldn't call it a poster, but it's like, because it's only eight and a half by 11,
but it's beautiful of like this picture of them
jamming there's all these
doodles around it
did he die? he died right?
who?
oh I didn't know that did he pass away?
oh I'm pretty sure
I would check this first
this is something I would check
I'm checking it now
I would have checked it before I said it.
No, he's not dead.
File's done.
Here's my favorite part. Do you want to double check that? Did Robert Lowe die?
His wiki is in that complex.
To make sure that Robert Lowe is still alive.
No, he's not dead.
Robert Lowe is definitely alive? No, he's not dead. Robert Lowe is definitely alive.
Okay.
I swear to God, if you jinx anyone.
I feel like we should probably double check
to make sure all the artists are still alive.
For some reason, I thought he died.
So here's my favorite part about it.
There's, okay, a picture,
another picture of them jamming,
blowing that horn, putting wires in different places,
and this little picture of the, you know, these,
just a little doodle for the cover, right?
Yeah.
But these little things of them are stickers.
Ooh, I like stickers.
And it just makes me.
Actually, I don't like stickers.
So throw these away.
Because someone I work with was like, why don't like stickers. So throw these away. Because someone I work with was like,
why don't you make stickers?
And I was like, because I don't want to just make garbage.
Oh, no.
Toby, you going to seriously spend the first five minutes of this show
trying to sell our garbage and then tell people not to buy it?
T-shirts aren't garbage.
We sell stickers too, though.
They last a long time.
Probably not these ones.
Mugs last a long time. Stickers are garbage. T-shirts last a long time. Probably not these ones. Mugs last a long time.
Stickers are garbage.
Well,
you can put it on a laptop.
Laptop's going to be
garbage, so what happens when you throw that away?
That's obsolete in one year.
That makes it worse, Dave.
This just shows why
you don't have a bidet. you don't have a bidet.
You don't have a bidet. You don't care about the environment.
You don't get it.
If you put a sticker on a laptop, that laptop,
you can't just throw it away.
That becomes worse trash now.
Davey boy.
Are we buying tapes?
Do this. Put a cookie on this
sandwich.
We got a double stuffed double-stuffed Oreo.
It's in the plastic thing that holds a CD in, like, the 90s.
Cellophane.
No, no, the plastic security thing.
Oh, the security thing.
It's the security thing.
I got busted for that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that's holding the Oreo.
Well, the CD is just at the top, but it's really long.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
And you're putting on the other cookie.
Bottom cookie.
SR-388.
You want me to type that in?
Where no clouds go.
Where's that palm tree?
Look at that palm tree.
There's a guy swimming.
Maybe there's a shark chasing him.
I hope not.
There's a strawberry island with a palm tree growing out of it. That island's a strawberry. It i hope not a strawberry island yeah that island growing out of it that island's a strawberry it's like a little kid
drew it's a beetle what's this a beetle song somebody took some lsd before they drew this
one i gotta say that this is on bonding tapes oh i like bonding tapes very familiar with bonding
tapes it's a very nice uh strawberry starburst kind of pink shell.
I can't tell with your fancy
LED lights in the background.
Everything looks purple to me.
Yeah, I'm trying to make it
color correct.
I've got to calibrate.
It looks good.
It looks good.
Anyway.
It looks good. It looks good. Anyway. It looks awesome.
It doesn't matter what light is hitting it.
I'm just going to play.
You look like a SoundCloud rapper.
A SoundCloud rapper?
It's a little too scary.
The purple.
Whenever the purple lights come around in the rotation yeah look like
uh yeah like you're an emo soundcloud rapper i like it actually i am joe maybe there's some
things you don't know about hey man we don't know a lot i don't know endeavors this is from 2019
isn't it this tape yeah this came no i actually i think this is late 2020 i know no it is 2019
yeah i kind of looked it up buddy so i did a little research just like know that i know you
don't like well and actually i know i know the dates of uh most of my tapes dave uh because i
know a little something about this so do a podcast and I do a little bit of research.
Okay?
You do your SoundCloud wrapping.
I like that this is one of those like waffle, the shell of this tape is like one of those
like waffle grid shells that have the A embossed and the B embossed in the corner there.
Is that embossed or debossed?
It's embossed. Debossed is like pushed in. Embossed in the corner there. Is that embossed or D-boss? It's embossed.
D-boss is like pushed in.
Embossed is like out.
I don't think it'd be either.
I think it would just be like a mold.
Ooh.
Yeah, that wouldn't be an embossed word.
Now you're confusing me.
It would just be a mold.
Pretty good shot.
But I like that.
I would like, do you think,
is there a Wikipedia page
for all the different styles of cassette shells?
There's not and there should be.
I feel like somebody like a Scott Schultz,
the guy who does words on sounds,
I feel like he could.
He'd write Timbal tapes.
You'd probably just have to
get in touch
with the actual
plants, right?
So this SR, what is it?
It's like a droid name. SR what?
SR 388?
388.
Do you know what their website is?
Yeah, SR388.truth.
Oh, you have a different one than I got.
Where did you find that?
Is it not truth?
The one that my research shows something different.
Oh,.horse.
Sorry,.horse, not truth.
.horse?
.horse. Sometimes I get my five-letter words mixed up. That horse. Sorry, that horse, not truth. That horse? That horse.
Sometimes I get my five-letter words mixed up.
Yeah, were you looking at the word horse when you said truth?
No, I just misremembered.
I knew it was dot something weird,
and for some reason I just remembered truth.
I learned a lot.
That would be a good one, too, dot something weird.
What do you
think the original intent
for a dot horse even was?
Yeah, exactly.
Please don't say porn.
Like equestrian?
Yeah, some sort of weird equestrian porn.
No, it was a weird
My Little Pony thing.
Well, that's not a horse. That's a pony.
It's not porn.
My Little Horse.
My Little Horse.
That horse.
Well, you could probably get a dot pony.
Do you think My Little Dot Pony is taken?
Joby, real quick, go to My Little Dot Pony and see if that's his name.
No, Joe, don't do that.
Do it.
I don't want any more.
Mike constantly gives me Trojan horses.
File's done. It'll slow your don't want any more. Mike constantly gives me Trojan horses. File's done.
It'll slow your internet down so much more.
Wow!
Wow!
Gee, what happened?
All right, so you're going to play that SR388 Where No Clouds Go.
Yes.
And that's going to be the cookie.

¶¶ Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. so so
so Thank you. Joby, you want to give it another shot
on how to pronounce the thing that you played?
No.
And then Zeke Ultra from Time Tape on Utica Records,
Robert A.K. Aubrey Lowe and Ariel Calma,
Notes Above Land, self-release tape, I believe.
And then Dave, my boy Dave,
played tape called SR388, Where No Clouds Go.
I think you should edit that out.
Edit what out?
The thing where you said,
because that guy's from Alaska.
So you want me to edit it out?
Yeah.
Do you want me to keep in this part of us talking about it?
Yeah.
I want you to edit the part out where you say,
where you played the clip.
Okay.
I want you to keep when I'm like, like hey so i'll bleep over when i played
and i'll bleep it over there too but we'll keep this whole thing in this whole yeah well can you
say something real quick that i can bleep out so you seem like a bad guy too because i'm
well because i'm ready these stupid and just put ble... These stupid... And just put bleeps in there.
Yeah, and just put bleeps in there.
Okay.
So what's this?
This brings us down to the final block then, huh?
Yeah, final block.
Is that how we do it?
Of the birthday show, right?
Of the birthday show.
It has a really...
Nine years.
Birthday to me.
And hopefully, I think this might be the last episode
where we're all on
zoom joe b you'll be here next month right
live in the studio
for the 420
extravaganza what a way to bring it back
it's just going to be the bidet boys
we're going to keep dave separate
for a while
we're quarantining
if you don't wash your butt. In China, they do
the butt swab now.
If Dave's not doing a butt
swab, me and Mike are doing butt swabs.
We are clean.
It's a bidet only.
My house is officially transferred to
a bidet only. I got
to register an historical district to be a bidet
only.
You can't do that.
Yes, you can.
If you live in a.
No, if you.
Yes, you can.
You can't have bidets.
Yes, you can.
Wow.
All right.
How about let me pick who's going to play the last tape.
Let me be the cookie.
Let me be the cookie.
Go to Joe.
Go to Joe.
Go to Joe. Joe B. I just took a big bite. All right, Dave. Let me be the cookie. Go to Joe. Top cookie. Go to Joe. Go to Joe.
Joe B.
I just took a big bite.
All right, Dave, I'll let you go.
I am Dave.
All right, I'll play a cut from this Kootagie Records Volume 3 Sampler Platter Volume 3.
I think we've had to play both Volume 1 and 2. I believe so. I think we've had to play both volume one and two.
I believe so. I think we
played both.
It only makes sense to play
something from volume three.
It's also a personal favorite,
this label. Yeah.
It's a sandwich label, right? Well, this was a
sandwich label, but I'm looking at this one now.
Yeah, what is this?
Are those fries?
Those are fries.
It's fries on some earwax.
No, Dave, you know what that is?
You know what that is?
That's cinnamon and sugar kind of kicked together.
Dang it, mixed in all the way.
That's exactly what that is.
I like how it says shrimp tail.
It's some sort of deep fried thing, but it's not.
Previously, it was all sandwiches, right? It was some sort of shrimp tail it's some sort of deep fried thing but it's not previously it was all sandwiches right it was some kind of sandwich no no it wasn't all sandwiches i feel like one of them was like a ball like some kind of like battered ball with like worms inside
of it or something that kind of were fries well either way then it wasn't a sandwich but this
one's definitely not a sandwich this one's like no yeah this is some kind of this is like some like the fuck is this i don't know i thought we
determined the name of the label was a type of sandwich the name it is yeah the name of the
label it is but now they're like off kilter but all of their samplers have like foods on the front that aren't sandwiches though
but that is some sort of food that is some sort of food yeah this one though i'm getting it's like
unless i know like unless i know the size of those french fries i am not getting my bearings on the
scale of whatever the deep fried thing is you know what i I think it is? I think it's like a chicken cutlet.
It's a turtle!
Okay.
With some fries.
With some fries.
Okay, maybe.
It's just a little bit upsetting
when it's not in a container.
Why not write it on there?
Why not write it on the back,
this is a chicken cutlet,
so we don't have to deal with this
yeah am i right i remember i was talking about earlier mike our our guest who would like playing
albums oh yeah for a fee yeah this would be perfect for that this would be perfect for that
i'll get on the i'll get on it dave so there's someone on this so anyway i was good what i was
speaking of sandwiches there's someone on this comp called I was gonna what? speaking of sandwiches
there's someone on this
comp called
Spooky Reuben
that's kind of like a sandwich
so what do you play?
I'm just gonna play
I'm sorry
I'm gonna play a track
from Ben Varian
oh yes
Ben Varian
I believe I first heard
this dude on like
um
Patient Sounds maybe
yeah I played on Patient Sounds years sounds years ago like we've played
some ben varian right i'm sure we have throughout the yeah throughout nine years of us doing this
thing throughout eight to nine years eight to nine years yeah i don't have the exact calculation
somebody's got it all right yeah what colors is tape, Dave? It's like a ketchup and mustard theme here.
Like a ketchup and mustard tape.
Yeah.
That's cool.
I bet they're always like that.
You very rarely see the screws anymore with all these Sonic Weld-It guys.
That's what it's called.
There's some screws in there.
There's some screws in this one.
Yeah.
They're few and far between.
Well, there's five in there.
I mean, which is like four by two or something.
I'm saying you rarely see the screws.
I bet you if I open up this tape, there's no screws.
I bet you $500.
I bet you $500 there's no screws in this tape.
I'm not gambling, man.
I'm betting Dave. I feel like there should be more colors of screws.
There's five screws in this one.
Oh,
you're saying the screws shouldn't just be silver
inside the tapes? They should bring in a green
screw? I feel like they're either silver, black,
or gold, and that's it.
I bet you
duplication.ca
I bet you duplication.ca
could get on this.
Huh? I bet you duplication.ca could get on this. I bet you duplication.ca could get on this.
This seems right up their alley.
They always have all the different shell colors
and all the different Norelco colors.
I bet you they could do different color screws.
I guess it's just a matter of sourcing colored screws
that would fit cassette shells.
Simple.
I could do it.
Oh, you know what else they're doing now?
The duplication.ca?
They're doing laser etching on the Noroco case.
Oh.
I feel like that's too far.
I feel like it's a bridge too far.
I feel like you're playing God if you laser etch a Noroco case. A bridge too far. You're playing God. I feel like you're playing God if you laser etch a neuropathic case
I feel like you're playing God
I mean why not
at this point you know you can laser etch
anything why not play God
why not play God do you think the laser
etching thing was delivered like the
machine was delivered like at midnight
to duplication.ca
and no one knew it was like
yeah it was raining a truck came in.
He's like, I have a delivery for you.
Came in briefcase.
Now we can do the Norelco.
They laser etched the Norelco and they're like,
isn't this too much power to have this?
Should we do this?
Should we do this?
You can do anything you want.
Soon they're going to be doing the spines.
Oh, you mean laser etch the spine Joe don't even say that
don't even put that out there
I'm done with cassettes if they start laser etching the spine
I don't know if I can handle it
I'm just going to do like a
I think you should probably
just do like a ticker tape on the spine
that like reads out the track list
what do you mean like a little like You should probably just do a ticker tape on the spine that reads out the track list.
What do you mean?
Like a little screen.
Like a little LED screen that's taped to the spine.
It's ticker tape and it reads off.
It's connected to Wi-Fi or something?
Are you scanning with your phone?
No, no, no, no.
Like a stock market ticker tape.
Oh, so the tape is constantly coming out of the spot?
Yeah.
And it just keeps...
You pull it.
You pull it out.
So does the tape get better or worse,
and it tells you, like,
oh, this tape's no good anymore.
This tape took a dive.
Yeah, but if you keep pulling, it might come back.
Yeah.
Is that how the stock market works?
If you keep pulling on that paper, it gets better or worse?
It gets better or worse, better or worse, better or worse.
What's on the other end?
There's a bunch of people pulling on a giant roll of tape
in the basement of the New York Stock Exchange.
What's connected to the other end?
That's when the market crashed.
Well, there's other people down there
that are constantly reconnecting more paper or tape.
So there's no end?
There's no end.
Are they trying to...
Let me ask you this.
Is the stock market trying to tug something off?
It's a constant push and pull.
Yeah.
It's a boom bust.
So sometimes you push the tape back in?
Yeah, yeah.
And then they're like, we got more.
Like the people back where the re-spooling place are like, oh, shit.
Yeah, yeah.
And they keep pulling.
They keep pulling a lot.
And they're like, fuck yeah.
And they're high-fiving
and then all of a sudden it kind of works all right joe b play tug of war play i'll play my
last tape which is the name of the tape is to me equal man thorn Manthorn. The name of the tape is what?
The name of the group, or the band, is Equal Manthorn.
I'm not going to begin to try to name what the tape is called.
You're not even in my tune.
You're not even in my tune.
Actually, you know what?
Begin.
Do it. I'll give it a go.
You're going to give it a go?
Yeah.
Nin, din, uga.
Nim, shim, sha, ar, gal.
En, la, lara.
Mike, you can speed that up, right?
Yeah, I'll speed that way up.
You want me to make that real fast, Joe? Yeah. Okay, I'll speed that up, right? Yeah, I'll speed that way up. You want me to make that real fast, Joe?
Yeah.
Okay, I'll speed it up.
I just dropped it.
Pick it up.
And what is this?
I don't know anything about this.
I don't think you do either, to be perfectly honest.
Yeah, this is a reissue from 94.
1994?
1994?
This tape originally came out in 1994.
What is it?
What is this, grunge?
No, it's more like weird, dungeon-y,
I don't even want to say synth-y stuff.
It's more Gregorian chant-y, weird stuff.
Okay.
And what, did someone reissue it,
or do you have an old school tape here?
No, no, no.
I got a reissue.
Who originally put it out, and who reissued it?
I don't know
who originally put it out, but
Black Montana's reissued it.
Is this like
Remember Pure Moods?
No.
Like the New Age compilation they sold on TV in the 90s?
Oh, no, I don't know that.
You don't remember that?
Remember like the artists would scroll up
and there'd be like a waterfall in the background
or like a dove flying or something?
Yeah, I was probably outside riding my BMX.
No, you weren't.
You were an indoor kid.
You were indoor spraying pimple juice all over an X-Men.
Joe, that was...
I used to light those pimple things on fire in my bathroom.
What are you talking about?
The pimple pads, what were they called?
Oh, like OxyPads?
Yeah, I'd light them on fire in the sink.
Hell yeah.
You're talking about the 90s?
Yeah, 90s. The 90ss i don't know about you but the 90s were like primo time to light shit on fire yeah i was like fuck you mom i'm not getting rid of my pimples bees and butthead were talking about
it it's like i don't think anybody was doing anything but lighting shit on fire at the time
you know what's uh what's silly i figured out this uh tape it's not silly
but like mine is the reissue is all black and white you can't even see it it's all black and
white i see it yeah but the original is like a really cool color cover they couldn't spring for
that no the original is a cool colored cover and then they is it the same artwork except it's black
and white yes okay so there's
like they got like an aesthetic here like they're you know they're spooky they're spooky i guess but
they were you know it's cool it's like you know golds and browns and blues but i got this i got
this bootleg i feel like i got a bootleg well whoever reissued it i'm sure whoever reissued it on this label like is the kind
of person who has a pet spider too mean you know and all their tapes are black and white
too rough what do they do is that just a black shell and they just like scribbled on it come on
come on
that hardly even looks like an A and a B.
With like a silver marker, that's it?
Yep, silver sharpie.
Fail job.
Huge fail.
Where'd you find this?
Fail.tapes.horse?
Yeah, I don't even know where I got this.
Well, that's cool.
That's this.
Did you know about this already?
No, I don't.
Honestly, I have no idea. You don't even know where you go so that makes even
where i got this tape that makes even more mysterious so this like this is like a the
beginning of a scare this is the beginning of a goosebumps i ordered in the mail i like it better
i got the hiccups i don't know what to do i like it better if we pretend the tape just showed up one day.
Stop making those noises.
What's the band called again?

Some people say, should I drink this last beer
upside down?
Yeah, you could do that actually.
Drink it backwards.
Drink it backwards, like spit the beer back in.
Okay.
It worked.
Good.
This is a comp that came out a few years ago.
It's a double tape.
It's called A Thousand Tones,
which right away I'm calling it bullshit.
There's no way there's a thousand tones.
No.
There's only like four or five.
Yeah.
There's too quiet, too loud,
funny fart sound,
scary like a ghost, and one that's too loud you have to cover your ears. funny fart in that sound.
Scary like a ghost.
One that's too loud you have to cover your ears.
There's one that's too loud you have to cover your ears.
One that's so quiet it's like a mouse you can't hear it.
One that's too scary.
One that is, what did I say?
It's funny like a fart because it sounds like a fart.
And the last one is like a tube amp.
Like a vintage tube amp when it's humming. You know what I say? It's funny, like a fart. It sounds like a fart. And the last one is like a tube amp, like a vintage tube amp
when it's humming.
You know what I mean?
Those are like the five. But they're saying there's
a thousand on there. The times that you really pay for it.
Yeah.
This is another double tape, but it's
not the double tall. It's the
Big Mac.
I like that one too. Do you like it more
or less than the double talk
