Tabs Out Cassette Podcast, episode number...
Jamie, you're going to have to help me out with this one.
195.
195.
Listen to the clean, clean...
Your ears...
Right now, everyone's ears are like,
ooh-la- la, mama mia.
Because Jamie brought a new mister into the studio.
We got Onyx preamps, boys.
Ooh, I don't know what that means.
And we got new studio monitor speakers.
We've lost our Behringer.
Which actually, do we test those?
We did, yeah.
Remember they were feeding back like crazy.
Oh, I thought you were playing a tape.
No.
I think everything sounds very good now.
I thought that was the new, like,
flesh maggot tape or something.
No, there is a tape playing in the background.
Joby, you still have the...
This one?
Yeah, we literally just opened up the envelope.
This is playing right now?
This is playing right now.
Huh.
I know both tapes are in there.
We're playing the band camp.
That's supposed to be a secret.
Oh, okay. Well, that's why I didn't say camp. That's supposed to be a secret. Oh, okay.
Well, that's why I didn't say anything.
That's supposed to be a little special secret.
That's why I didn't say anything, and I just went.
I know, but the way you went, huh, and then tapped on the tapes.
Tap on the tape.
Tap on them again, please.
So you can hear it with the new mixer?
With the new mixer, there's no denying that you just.
Give me a little something.
Wow.
Yeah, there's no denying that you were like huh well yeah but i think you know
what why was this you know i'm a simple man and that confused me you're lying to everyone
what are we playing in the background the tape is called mk ultra by richard ryan richard and
errol lug don't get me started on mk ultrara. It's volume one. We were doing a little.
My uncle worked for the CIA.
Of course, that explains a lot about you, Jamie.
I definitely think you're a plant.
You're definitely an asset
that has infiltrated the group.
And he definitely told you not to mention that.
Uncle Gary
said don't tell anyone that.
Alright, what do I do about this?
Turn the soundboards up, dummy.
Or if you turn the soundboard...
Oh, that's the thing about playing tapes on Bandcamp.
I can just turn Mike's soundboard down.
No, I don't like that.
And then I can go...
Who again?
Errol, Oolong?
Yeah, it's a new one.
Ephem Arl.
Whenever Ephem Arl sends us an envelope,
it's always got their stamp all the way across it,
and I see it, and I go,
yup, we're gonna play this.
This is a nice presentation. We're gonna gas them up.
We're gonna gas them up. It's a good New York label.
Great label. Great label.
And this is a double tape that literally, I'm gonna assume,
just came out. What do you think this little
pocket here is for?
You know what?
We're learning every day, the more
we touch these cassettes, that the packaging's
very widely.
What did I discover last time?
Something.
They should get you on more of these.
You should be involved more on conspiracy theories, Joe.
Because the shit you find out about cassette tape packaging.
Last time was all the different types of, what are these called?
The nubs.
The nubs.
I've been focusing on that lately when I open a tape. Look, called the nubs the nubs yeah yeah i've been paying i've
been focusing on that lately when i open a tape yeah look what kind of how many here's the uh
four there's a three there i got a three this one's got no none of them it's a double we're
not far away from turning this into a game of chance but jamie i'd like you to open that real
quick does it have the place where a nub should have went, or is it smooth?
It does have the place. It has the circles.
They measure it out.
You sure you don't want them, kid?
You sure? My machine can do them. I can do nubs.
You old bastard.
I don't want the fucking nubs.
You know what else I noticed?
So I want everyone everyone listening if you have
a if you have a cassette tape by you even if you're driving your car just like reaching to
the back don't look and reaching to the back like comically like where are my tapes grab a cassette
tape and look at the naruko you two two grab one oh okay okay look on the edge that opens
is there a little thumb notch this one has one i got a thumb notch this one
has one but it's different than this one i love the thumb notch because how else are you going
to get the sucker open thumb notch this one this one's like from 1970s so it doesn't have a notch
because back then men were men yeah you could fucking they didn't need a notch you get home
from the fucking mill or yeah from. Yeah. From war. Yeah.
Every day you would come home from Vietnam.
And you'd open your tape up like a man.
You'd open up your sack lunch, your metal lunchbox.
You'd take out your tape.
It was the hippies that introduced the tab.
Oh, man, we need a thumbs up, man.
Oh, man, I keep sliding open this tape, man.
I'm telling you, man, this stuff will poison your mind.
All right, what do you want to get into first?
I think this tape is...
Can you even hear it anymore?
It's a...
I'll turn it up a little bit.
Oh, my God.
You know what I was thinking?
This is our first episode of the year.
It's taken a while for us to get together and do this.
I was thinking, I woke up this morning, and I was doing my morning routine.
Joe, you know my morning routine, if you want to say a little bit of it.
Actually, I don't know your morning routine.
You get up.
I get up.
Oh, you do some exercise?
I do 10,000 push-ups.
10,000 push-ups.
I've been doing a little working out myself.
And I eat a whole avocado.
Yeah, For the fats
For the good fats
The pit has cyanide you can't do that
Well he's been
I have a t-shirt
There's a picture of an avocado on it
And it says skin and pit I don't give a shit
That's a good bumper sticker
Well right now it's just a shirt
But I did my routine
25,000 jumping jacks
I tried to do some jumping jacks the other day
No jump rope I tried to do the other day
Hard
Went through the floor
No I jumped too high
Why do I jump so high
I have that problem too
Whenever I'm playing b-ball
I'm always just jumping You're always just dunking You're dunking all the time and they're like jamie i'm
open i can shoot i can score a three and you're like sorry sorry i just can't jump too high it's
a problem yeah i jump too high you watch these videos people just they're barely jumping they're
just like and their wrists are moving like crazy anyway all right so you did 20 000 jumping jacks
do you do pull-ups at all i do 20 000 pull-ups each hand oh single single
okay and i was thinking about all these tapes we always we play these tapes and stuff
i think we should let's keep one i think we should pick a tape and just keep one as a pet
and not play it.
And it'd just be our pet this year.
Do we feed it? We feed it. We each take it home.
It's like a Tamagotchi.
And then at the end of the year it dies and we bury it.
Oh, okay. Which one are you choosing?
You're good at this because you used to work
at a vet. I did used to work at a vet hospital.
Do we introduce the episode or ourselves at all?
This is Tabs Out Cassette Podcast Episode 195. I'm Mike. I'm Jamie. I'm hospital. Do we introduce the episode or ourselves at all? This is Tabs Out Cassette Podcast episode
195. I'm Mike.
I'm Jamie. I'm Joe. There we go.
We should
pick one that's just our pet. We don't play it.
What is it?
That one? Yep.
What is this?
Power strip.
Power strip. I just like the name.
On Drongo. Alright.
Jamie, take this. You're going to take it home. Get a little cage for it at a pet store and get Power Strip. Power Strip. I just like the name. On Drongo. All right.
So we'll get... Jamie, take this.
You're going to take it home.
Get a little cage for it at a pet store.
Yeah.
And get...
What do you think?
It needs some bedding?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or just a newspaper.
Okay.
Yeah.
Fuck it.
I could put a little Power Strip in it next to it.
Oh, yeah.
A little companion.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
And we'll see how...
Yeah.
And we won't play it.
And then, yeah.
That'll be our pet.
Sorry, Drongo. But Drongo just sent us like 20 tapes, so I think we're good.
Yeah, so we can't play them all, but that one will be special.
Yeah.
And then I got to figure out how I'm going to shoot out this avocado pit.
Did you eat it whole?
You don't grind it up?
Yeah, I don't grind it up.
I grind it up into a paste.
All right, who wants to play a tape?
Jeremy does.
See, I was going to play, I think I'm going to change which tape I'm going to into a paste. All right, who wants to play a tape? Jamie does. See, I was going to play...
I think I'm going to change which tape I'm going to play.
Okay.
I'm going to play this Nate Scheibel tape.
Scheibel.
Sheebly, Sheebly, Scheibly.
He's a drum guy, right, Jamie?
We got a drum cat on our hands?
No, he's not drums.
I know he is not just one of those synth freaks,
but I'm not sure.
He's done...
I've never heard of him, butaks, but I'm not sure.
I've never heard of him, but... Oh, I feel like I saw him play at
Voice of the Valley. I saw a lot of
Discogs entries. He had some
stuff on Unifactor, on Wagon,
on
Warm Winters, on SKSK,
on everyone else has
a record label, so why can't I?
Ohio fellas is what we're talking about, right?
Let's say what he
plays on this. It says
written and played by Nate Sheebly, but then
Sarah Hughes, Alto Sax.
Is it Sheebly? I don't know.
I have no idea.
I asked ChatGPT last night and it said Scheibel.
It's probably Scheibel. You're trusting AI over
Joe B? No. Scheibel.
Scheibel sounds correct. It's a large language
model and can kind of put these
things together kristin lee's warfield trombone 12 years ago he did a collaboration lp with mark
mcguire of emerald's abe mammet french horn so there's on various tracks around the whole thing
well on various tracks because i i listened to it last night and actually the track that i'm
going to play doesn't have any horns surprisingly but it it's kind of all over the map there's there's
some tracks with horns there's one track that i got to that was just mary had a little lamb

the Spanish philosopher Ortega Iglesias,
and the voice calls out,
Ortega.
Whether the research into the voice phenomenon
had any significance and whether it was based
on firm foundation, The voice answers, entrojas mufas questiones.
A Latin voice then breaks in with a statement that could be interpreted in various ways.
It might mean, for instance,
that the voice phenomenon research may benefit mankind,
even if the process is a painful one. The experimenter addresses his former collaborator,
the Swiss parapsychologist Professor Gerhard Frey.
Beset by doubts, the experimenter begs Professor Frey to give his name,
and the voice answers,
Lying. name and the voice answers, LIE!
Then, in Swedish and German,
Du sowas
willst nicht
glauben!
Willst nicht glauben.
You are sleeping. You do not want to believe.
You do not want to believe.
In another recording, the experimenter remarks that people do not believe in life after death.
And the voice answers,
So sind die. Then the friend gives his name.
Wittautus Simane.
After this comes a request.
Prasi centa naitana.
Naitana. Naitana.
Lastly, this voice says,
Sie glaubt nicht.
Sie glaubt nicht. At the end of a recording session, the experimenter says that he is tired.
The voice comes in with,
Bonne natt.
A request by the experimenter that the voice entities should tell him from where they came
is answered by a voice saying,
Vaelicious Lunt.
Radio frequency voices.
Professor Loris, who was a close friend of the experimenter, promised that he would manifest, if possible, after death.
We hear a voice say,
Norris, je magt, klar.
A female voice, probably margarated by Trout's skill,
says, eine-toter.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Aerosmith!
Nate Cheable.
Or Valley End.
What's the name of this label?
OT number one.

Where it folds
I don't mean to be dirty
But I hear your mother

With a nice little map

Pretend to look at it
Joe B

Now is that 8-bit or 16-bit
I think this might be
That is more than
A nice little map
Oh no
That is a gorgeous
Piece of Mork
Yeah I guess it's Some sort of little spaceship that you're exploring.
Let's see what the first room is like.
Oh, let's see what is known.
Another mass container with alien markings is spewed from the bitter void.
Distress signals hail anyone in the near vicinity requesting medical assistance.
So that draws you in.
And let's see.
A is the entry point.
Safety locks will not open from inside without brute force.
What do you do?
I'm too stuck in the mystery.
If I get too, I'm too scared.
Jamie, roll strength.
Okay.
Hold on, hold on.
I can't do this because I get too into it.
There you go.
What did you roll?
I rolled a six of diamonds.
Six of diamonds.
You passed.
All right.
You've opened.
With brute force, you open up the break the safety locks from inside the entry point.
You're now in the freight elevator.
It's battered and scarred.
Operates if other containers are stacked above or below.
There's a control panel.
It doesn't activate.
What do you do?
Anyway, so that's that.
We're going to play that. I bought
two of these at the gaming convention
that I was at in December. What was the gaming
convention called? PAX Unplugged.
PAX Unplugged. Oh, finally. So Dungeon
Synth has made it to the mainstream.
Yeah, but this is more sci-fi-y.
It's like synth-y stuff.
Who's the artist?
Glitter in the Dark.
Glitter in the Dark is the artist.
It's called Vast Grim Twist Visions Container 2.
And it's for this game.
Let me see the game.
You haven't said yet.
The game is like a hard...
It didn't come with that though.
I own this separately.
This just came with this.
So if you want to play this adventure,
you would need these rules.
Joe's flexing right now.
Wait, so you buy it all separately?
Yeah, we can just play the game and not listen
to a tape soundtrack. Oh, you don't
need the tape to play the game.
No, this is an adventure.
Oh, wow.

Jamie's the Discogs man.
Yeah.
You should be doing this.
This is a real B&H birthday story.

Okay.
So Creature Curation and Infinite Black are the two publication people.
Okay.
And this is relatively new.
So go check it out at your local gaming store all right so jamie or later what are you going to play i was introduced by this wonderful tape

So, anyway, this tape comes from a label called MAPPA.
MAPPA is from Slovakia.

you can do so much with just a clear tape with the white ink.
Yeah.
You don't have to do all the colors and stuff.
Yeah.
Now I'm looking at this tape.
Now you like it.
Bird music with the shell colors here,
and I'm taking it all back.
You have to do colors. i'm not because this is
look at this joe look at this combination of this like lime green with lilac imprinting
and then i think you guys are focused on the wrong thing though like pull out that insert
the i'm getting there okay james jimmy a little foreplay yeah jimmy ever hear a four play jb walks in buck ass naked all right let's go

Yeah
And then
I paid close to
$30 for this
Just so you know
American
American
Because it comes from Slovakia
I gotta pay shipping
It's a double cassette
It's a double cassette It It's a double cassette.
It's in the tall and rough.
A very limited edition.
I think you got a deal.
I think you swiped a deal.
It's awesome.
Wow.
Awesome tape.
This is beautiful paper.
Oh,
the printing is gorgeous.
I should rub this off.
I should rub this off.
For this one,
they went with a ribbed,
so you can open it up.
Not a notch.
Yeah. Yeah. Because that's got, they finally figured out that's better ribbed for her pleasure something
jamie knows nothing about nothing about doesn't know anything about her pleasure
no this is wonderful and talk a little bit about it, Jamie. Well, there's an artist called Banana on this.
No, there's not.
He'll do anything these days.
Almost every single artist on this tape,
and there's a lot of them because it's double set compilation.
Almost every artist I have never heard of before.
Is named Banana?
I think the theme of this tape was they said,
make synthetic bird music.
And then all the artists got said, okay,
however you interpret synthetic bird music and then all the artists got said uh okay that however you interpret synthetic bird music and so what we got here is kind of like a little little ambient a little field recording ish um sometimes synthy um however people interpreted
it but um it's such a good idea a lot of european artists on here they should do another animal next yeah synthetic wildebeest music well how would no no dog dog dog music
hold on
is anyone recording this we are there we go we are okay put that out
mappa and give jam's $30 back.
Yeah, seriously.
Between that and the Lexi Mountain tape, I'm way over budget.
How much was that?
Stop it.
Stop it.
I won't discuss financial matters on the show.
We'll do that often.
The Lexi Mountain tape is hand-painted just for you.
Custom.
So it's like buying a piece of artwork.
He won't shut up about how much he spends on tapes.
Just shut up.
All right.
No, this is gorgeous.
This is so beautiful.
And I'm glad.
I know we played it a little bit on the last episode.
Yeah.
In the background.
In the background.
Let's do some active listening.
But I think it needs, yeah.
And I think it needs.
It needs to be showcased.
It's a beautiful tape.
And it's such a good idea.
And when you do a good job,
we should play the tape.
Yeah, so I'm going to play
the first track on the seaside
by an artist named Matthias Puch.
What is this little...
French artist.
Musician, programmer, research, and teacher.
Born in Paris, France.
Arr, the old seaside.
I remember.
Give me some waves in the background, Jamie.
Some sounds like the sea.
Some sounds of the ocean.
And I'm going to say,
Arr, I'm going to play something seaside.
As soon as he gets it,
I'm going to say I don't want to do it anymore.
Yeah, I know.
It's always an ad on YouTube.
I need to sign up for YouTube Plus.
All right.
Eight hours of seaside music. No, I don't want to do it anymore. It. All right. Here we go. Eight hours of C-Sign.
No, I don't want to do it anymore.
It's just a bossa nova playlist.
That's fine. Arr, and I'll play
something. Keep playing that music,
boys.
Keep swapping the pool deck.
I am relaxed.
And I'm going to play something on your C-Sign.
I feel like I'm on hold.
Keep holding, and the representative will be with you.
All right, I'm going to sit this one out.
Okay.
You're going to sit it out.
I'm going to sit this one out.
I'll come in next.
Yeah.
So only a two-tape block?
Yeah.
Should Joe do two?
You want to do two?
I can do two.
Yeah, do two.
Sorry, I don't mean to derail things.
That's kind of what you do.
I have a theme.
All my tapes are all kind of similar vibe.
This is another tape called Desert Moon of Karth,
the official soundtrack.
Music by Kevin Gundlatch, Matty Joy,
and When the Coyote Eats the Rat.
They called out and win two tickets
to King Wizard of the Gizzard Lizard.
So I'm going to play the B-side.
The fuck did you just say?
What was all that stuff you just said?
This is the companion soundtrack for this module called Desert Moon of Karth for the sci-fi role-playing game called Mothership.
How's our pet doing over there, by the way?
Oh, the power strip tape?
Yeah, the power strip tape.
Hey, how you doing, little buddy?
Oh, your download card's slipping a little bit.
You gotta tap it back in there.
There you go.
I need you to take it to the vet at some point.
So this Desert Moon of Karth adventure
for the sci-fi role-playing game Mothership
is kind of like a space western-y type vibe.
It's a little bit of a point crawl.
You can go from these different locations.
In outer space, there's no cardinal directions.
Everything's up, everything's down.
There's no east and west.
There's two schools of thought.
Have you ever been there, Jamie?
You also...
This is the guy who can't figure out how to update our avatar
on podcast streaming services.
He's like, when you go to space,
there's no cardinal directions
and I'm like Jamie
update our avatar on
fucking iTunes or whatever
and he's like I don't know how
alright Mike roll a d100 and we'll see
what old tech artifact you just
found now is this something that
this came together right now this
also didn't come together really because
that's like just like a D what, by the way?
D100.
Okay.
How do I do that?
Would just put in the 100?
Or is there a combination of dice I can use?
No, just, well, it'd be two D10s.
And no 69.
Please.
Apply.
Ladies and gentlemen, fine young cannibal.
55.
55.
Let's see what you found with 55.
Ooh, you found an energy drain cube.
Oh, yes, I've been needing an energy drain cube.
This disables all electronic equipment within one kilometer range
before crumbling into black dust after 10 minutes.
So it's only one use.
Obviously, the best ones always do.
Yeah.
So use it wisely.
Let me see this book.
You just stepped into the monument foyer.
Imposing gold statues of scientists and medical instruments line a cavernous hall.
Ornate light fixtures, half dark and non-functional, cast foyer into dim twilight.
And then you found this little cube.
Oh my God, 1D10 Dawn, armed Dawn Guards.
Roll initiative.
What do I need to roll?
Nothing, nothing.
Look at the book.
Oh, okay. This looks, at the book. Oh, this, okay,
this looks,
now that I'm holding it,
when you had it in your hands,
I thought the book was like
just paper,
just like 20.
No, it's a nice scene.
Yeah, this is very nice.
Yeah, nice cover.
Yeah.
Nice stock.
No, this is like a,
like a graphic novel.
Yeah.
Quality.
Quality, yeah.
Yeah.
But it's not risiographed.
It's not risiographed, Jamie.
Shut the fuck up
about the risiograph. And it is only like the outside is. I'm sorry, I didn't pay that much money. I think's not risiographed. It's not risiographed, Jamie. Shut the fuck up about the risiograph.
And it is only like the outside is-
I'm sorry, I didn't pay that much money.
I think I paid $15 for that.
Oh, that's worth it.
This is gorgeous.
Yeah.
From America?
From America.
From American made.
A ton of work went into this.
Look at this.
And this is beautiful.

I know, right?
Yeah.
I tell my kid right now, make synthetic bird music.
Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet. Put it out. put it out put it out yeah whatever jammy will pay 30 for it yeah and then jay well the moon
doesn't have up to be throw that away um no this is fucking awesome it looks like a baby drew the
thing on the cover which i always like i always like when it's like when you find like uh somebody
points out like a comic book artist who like

Can't draw hands or feet.
That's AI.
How many of these do you own?
These kind of like adventures with soundtracks?
Yeah.
So there's a bunch of these.
There's a bunch of these.
The whole thing.

And then When the Coyote Eats the Rat.
From the Desert Moon of Karth official soundtrack.
The Desert.
Is it Desert Moon of Karth or Dessert Moon of Karth?
Which one is it?
Desert.
Tuesday Night Games.
That's the soundtrack to that.
And I was trying to look for some information
on When the Coyote Eats the Rat
to figure out who it was.
I found a lot of YouTubes of a coyote eating a rat.
It's Eric Hines.
Yeah, nothing much more audio-wise
than mainly the soundtrack.
Mainly this, yeah.
Yeah, it seems like maybe Joel Hines,
who came up with this game,
was constantly working on his game,
and his brother was in the next room like,
can I put some of my music on the soundtrack?
He's like, fine.
Fine.
Okay, it's called When the Coyote Eats the Rat.
Oh my God.
You get the B-side.
Can I have the whole B-side?
What's his name again, Ethan?
Eric.
Yes, Eric.
Mom!
Mom!
Tell Eric I'm making my game.
Mom, I'm trying to make Twist Visions.
Or was it the other one?
No, it's Desert Moon of Cards.
Mom, I'm trying to make...
And then Eric's like, mom tell joel to let
me on dessert moon of carth it's desert just joel let your brother on the dessert moon
let him put his coyote on the dessert moon
all right and then uh we got our last block here huh
god played a lot of good stuff on this episode.
Did a real good job.
Real good job.
I'm real proud of everybody.
Oh, Mike.
I know you said that that's on Tuesday Night Games.
It's not.
Oh, it's not?
It's on Fantasy Audio Magazine, like I fucking said,
because this is also on that.
I'm sorry.
No, I'm wrong.
You're wrong?
Yeah.
No, I'm right. That's the name
of the label. Yeah. So Tuesday Night Games
made the game. Tuesday Night Games?
I don't have any time for the fucking thing.
Tuesday Night Games made the game
Mothership. Okay, but fans...
Desert Moon of Karth is a sandbox adventure

This is the big one.
So what did you bring?
A tall, a Vente, and a Grande?
Yep.
What happened to small, medium, and large?
In my day.
What happened to small, medium, and large?
You could even get a child size.
Come on.
Generation Z.
Come on.
They don't say small anymore.
Yeah.
Because they don't want you thinking about that.
If you want to scan that QR code, I think it goes to Fantasy Audio Magazine.
It goes to Obama.
The CIA.
It goes to Fauci.
Do you want me to start or you're starting?
No, grab that game.
Go for it.
Okay, so this is a comp that I just got.
It's called Candle,
put out by Fantasy Audio Magazine.
How many dice did you just roll?
A lot.
We'll get to rolling, Jamie.
Calm down.
I didn't even get the tables up yet.
Hey, can I just say,
if I get too stuck in...
Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.
Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.
Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling. If I become too stuck in this fantasy,
if I'm too enriched in the fantasy experience,
I need a safe word that I can scream to get out of it
and you stop, okay?
Yeah.
Butterscotch.
Butterscotch.
Scream butterscotch.
You have to just stop and ground me in reality, okay?
All right.
So this is Candle, issue number three.
Butter scotch!
Butter scotch!
This is a gaming tape zine.
This is the third installment dedicated to the importance of celebration of...
I don't even know what that word is.
Camaraderie.
I've never seen camaraderie written before.
That's because you haven't been reading those links to the Proud Boys sites.
So this is a production of Fantasy Audio Magazine.
And it came with this very high quality.
I wouldn't even call this a zine.
This is like a book, a little mini book.
It's definitely a book, yeah.
So what this is is content made for this game called Old School Essentials.
This is like before we get to that book. There's two books here. So what this is, is content made for this game called Old School Essentials.
This is like, before we get to that book, there's two books here.
This is like the book that like, you go to the library, you're out of the young reader section, but you're not like into the real section yet.
Oh, like choose your own adventure.
Yeah, you're right in the middle.
You're right in the middle.
Like a Judy Blume.
Judy Blume.
Yeah, like the train car kids.
It's like this kind of book.
Yeah.
So this scene, let's see.
I love that.
I've got to say, I'm real excited.
What fucking boxing match is going on?
I don't know.
It's like an orc and somebody else, and I have my glasses on.
Yeah, it's like a He-Man type figure with blue and white striped trunks on.
That's the deal. And yeah, a like Shrek,
Incredible Hawk type ogre.
And then a crowd of cheering on
of different orcs and goblins and gnomes.
Everybody.
It's like a early Royal Rumble.
Yeah.
I think it might be a Survivor Series.
No, it's probably the Royal Rumble.
Yeah, they're the first two in the ring,
and in two minutes, it's like,
oh, here's the next one, Mean Gene.
It's a dwarf.
So this is like a compilation of adventures
and material to be played with Old School Essentials,
which is a fantasy role-playing game,
which is essentially a reskin of basic dungeons and
dragons for you jamie i'm sure you were wondering butterscotch and i've only flipped through this a
little bit but i think there is some sort of adventure in here or not really adventure but
a setting where some sort of festival like this stuff is happening with a fight and stuff okay
um actually roll me a d10 a d10 and this is for festival
ground encounters you want it to be nighttime or daytime is well the d10 says four four but do you
want it to be night or day there's two different nighttime baby nighttime okay you are escorted by
1d4 guards uh merrymakers approach the tallest pc which i'm assuming is you mike confessing that they pickpocketed i'm sorry did you say tallest or hardest
tallest okay yeah yeah you're also the hardest yeah those are the hardest
so some merrymakers have approached the tallest pc you um oh they're being escorted by guards
the pickpockets they pickpocketed 20 gold. What are you going to do about it?
Oh.
They hand the PC 18 gold pieces
and a crumpled receipt for two goblin dogs.
I don't know.
So there's like
different little
businesses here. Patrons you can
roll up. The weather. The crowd
at this festival.
Dangers. What kind of food crowd at this festival. Dangers.
What kind of food you want to eat.
Pretzel.

That came with the tape.
And then this is just, I just brought the rule book.
God, this looks so cool.
If we wanted to make characters later.
Yeah, I do.
What do you want to be, a cleric?
What did I say earlier was my shit? Not Rizograsp. Simple. Design. No, I said, I do. What do you want to be? A cleric? What did I say earlier was my shit?
Not Rizograsp.
Simple.
Design.
No, I said... Oh, yeah.
I'm taking that all back.
This is my favorite thing.
This.
Yeah.
I like the colors.
I like the colors, the cartoon.
It looks like Smurfs.
It looks like the old Smurfs.
Yeah.
Illustrations.
Or He-Man, almost a little bit.
No, you're just thinking that because this character is a He-Man, almost a little bit. No, you're just thinking that
because this character is a He-Man type of individual.
But no, it doesn't look like He-Man really.
It looks more like a Smurfs.
I'm going to go back to Smurfs.
Yeah.
Man, this is so cool.
It's very cool.
I just got that the other day,
so I haven't flipped through it too much.
Now the book, the aesthetics of the book
that you have in front of you that you're saying this is like content for.
Yes.
Looks completely different.
Yes, completely different.
Huh.
I love content.
You love content.
Oh, it's the best.
I just brought the first book, Old School Essentials Classic Fantasy Rules Tome.
But there's also the Advanced Fantasy.
It's not even a book.
It's a tome.
This is a tome.
Yeah, this is a tome.
I think this will only get you up to level three,
and then you've got to get advanced to get to higher levels.
This is too much information for me.
Yeah.
You're on another level.
Very fun stuff.

Would it be interesting for us to, like...
And maybe we might get into Fernmage

I'm not sure.
Not sure if there's enough time.
Like, would it be interesting for us
to, like, actually make
characters and play this
with the tape in the background, the whole ass
tape, and, like, maybe
we release it as, like, a bonus thing?
Yeah, that sounds fun. Does anybody want to hear that?
Probably not, right? People do want to hear that. I mean, I'm sure
no one's gotten to the point of hearing this.
Alright, that'll be fun.

Good for you.
Thanks.
Did you want to wait
for Joe B to come back?
I want Joe B to hear my tape.
Yeah, but... That's a long P. Do you think he's having problems?
He may have felt, do you think he sits down in there and then, and then something slipped
out the other side?
Yeah.
Well, I don't think it slipped out.
That's for sure.
He'd be at, he'd be back already.
But yes, I do think he sits down.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or do you think he goes in there and he's like, oh, I'm going to sit down.
Let me roll a D three.
Don't talk about him.
He's back. Joe B, how do you decide, I'm going to sit down. Let me roll a D3. Don't talk about him. He's back.
Joby, how do you decide if you're going to sit down when you pee?
If I'm at home, I sit down.
No matter which toilet?
Well, I only use the one upstairs.
See, he doesn't trust your seats.
He doesn't think you clean them enough.
Oh, is that true?
Yeah.
Well, the water was blue, so I can tell that someone did just do a clean recently.
But it might have just been the water.
It might not have been the seat.
I can't trust that.
Right.
But I still didn't sit.
I did stand.
My toilet has a routine it does every morning.
It's called 20,000 flushes.
You definitely have a robot toilet.
I wouldn't be surprised if you had a robot toilet.
No, every day I flush one avocado down the toilet.
I say, skin and peel down the drain.
I'm insane.
Clean my toilet.
Make it rain.
Is this a spell that you cast?
You have spell components and words that you have to say.
Avocado, do what you do.
Make the water very blue.
This is a witchcraft. I didn't know you were into witchcraft
Lots of kids are into witchcraft these days
Wilmington Sewer Company is not happy with you

Jamie.
Let's end this all out.
We had a nice episode.
We played some nice tapes.
We're back, baby.
We have a new pet.
We have a new...
I don't get the pet bit, but it's okay.
Well, there's a tape that we're going to make Jamie take care of.
We're going to make him buy it, so he just puts it on the shelf.
You don't think it's going to...
Okay, never mind.
Just throw it away.
I don't know.
Just throw the fucking tape away.
I have no good ideas.
That's your big idea after working out this morning?
Let's have a tape that's our big idea after working out this morning let's let's have a tape
that's our pet it's like a dog but it's a tape are you watching bluey or some sort of
kids television program i thought it'd be kind of funny you thought it'd be funny and then
all through this year we're going to keep talking about it yeah how's the tape do how's power strip
doing and like me yeah and then maybe we get it like a toy or something.
All right, I'm kind of liking it now.
Can we at least try it?
We can try it.
We try it out.
Yeah, there's no bad ideas.
And then maybe other people have that tape too
and they like say like,
hey, look, I got the same kind of pads.
I don't know.
All right, Jamie, go ahead.
I don't know.
Close it out.
Take me home tonight.
All right, I got something.
This probably does not follow Dungeon Synth very well.
Well, I played something, too.
About a year ago, we were cleaning out my grandparents' house, rest in peace.
And I was going through my grandfather's desk.
Their house died?
Yeah, their house died.
Oh, no.
Getting ready for sale, just cleaning it out, taking some little knickknacks here and there.
And I was snooping through my
grandfather's desk i pulled out a couple cassette tapes and this was one of them this tape by don
joe um before you get into it were you expecting to find any cassette tapes there were you like
i'm gonna go to my grandparents house i hope i find some tapes um maybe in the back of my head
or are you like kind of like too sad for that you're always
looking for this with that holy grail you're always looking for that wow factor and uh so
it's going through the drawer and i saw this tape and it just looks like it almost looks like an
instructional educational tape or something like that i don't really know what to describe it as so
it took me like a year like and then i just listened to it recently and i and i was like
oh my goodness like this is like this is something just listened to it recently, and I was like, oh my goodness,
this is something that's very unique.
Oh yeah, and the sticker fell off.
We got to re-glue that.
So this is Donjo. It sounds, and I lent this to Mike.
I don't know how you would describe it.
It almost sounds like-
Like country and western, some swing, a little Latin from the organ and keyboard of Donjo.
Yeah, a little easy listening. I think it's organ music but like not one not just like a pipe organ it's like one
of those organs that has like the french horn and the trumpet and the maracas and okay yep um it
sounds like it's like almost like midi type music but it's not mid it's it's too early i think this
is 1970s i think the kids call it mid Mid yeah It's sus Let's go
He's bussin
I like that his name on the logo
Is the N and the J are one letter
Yeah and it might be
It was ahead of it's time
My grandparents were from New Jersey
I'm not sure maybe that's a
But then I think it says Tennessee on the tape
Yeah I think he was from like the Midwest or the,
he wasn't from around.
He's not from the 95 corridor.
He's like a pastor,
a pastor,
a pastor.
He's an ordained minister.
An ordained minister.
Yeah.
I don't know the difference.
Um,
but,
um,
I'll say this.
Like there was one episode where I played a tape by angels.
Do you remember that angels tape?
And I was like,
this is like what the actual music sound like before these hipsters started making it ironic.
And I feel like with Donjo, it's the same thing.
Like, this is the original deal before people started like doing little spins on it and putting out their tapes on orange milk.
This guy was like a hotel lobby organist.
Yeah, yeah.
And in his spare time made tapes like this.
Yeah.
Have we figured out if he's still alive? I think we did the math last time and he would have to be in his spare time made tapes like this yeah have we figured out if he's still alive i think we did
the math last time and he would have to be in his hundreds so i think we so yes we said yes he's
alive he has risen good for him what information are you joe b you're really you're studying that
thing like a uh i'm just looking uh it talks about he was commissioned to record the soundtrack and
background music
For the documentary
Television production
My Water Valley
Produced by the
Kentucky Television Network
And aired throughout
The tri-state area
In 1976
Oh so there's
Our first clue right there
Yeah there's a lot
To unpack with this one
I would like our listeners
To try to
Seek some information
About
D-O-N-J-O
And I did
Put it on Discog So if you want to look it up
and see all the scans and see
the artwork and the liner
notes, you can go there and check it out.
Yeah, I mean, he put down his drum set
in 1947.
Started with the organ and other keyboard instruments
and has since time appeared in
lounges, hotels, restaurants, clubs,
fashion shows, horse shows. He just appears
there. And special benefits.
Mostly in Kentucky, Tennessee,
and Florida. You're at a horse show,
everything's going fine,
all of a sudden,
Don Joe!
What are you doing here? So, Jamie, are you gonna play his
own composition, which is on this tape?
The other ones seem like they're, like, standards.
Maybe we should play his own
composition. Yeah. So that one is caribbean paradise okay is that on the a side that's on the beginning is
it gonna be hard to find it's gonna be hard for no it's a second track on the b side that's not
that hard it's not that i can second track on the b side um he's done some writing and the song
entitled caribbean paradise is his own composition he He incorporated the Baldwin Microcomputer Orchestra Organ
and the Korg DW-8000.
The 8000?
The 8000 synthesizer keyboard
in the production of this album. Happy listening.
So, Don Joe.
No, that's a clue because we can
look up when this Korg DW-8000
was released. Because it seems like it was probably hot.
It was new, right? So we know it's not before that.
It's not before that.
I bet there's like a year.
1985.
85.
See, I thought this tape was from the 70s.
So maybe it is from the 80s.
Oh, this is from the 80s.
It's from the 80s.
Okay, so Middy was out by then.
So maybe he did some of this stuff with Middy.
Oh, very interesting.
Very interesting little mystery that we got going on, Jamie.
Man, I thought you brought all the mysteries, Joe.
Did this come with a book?
Yeah, does that come with an adventure?
Roll me a C4.
You enter the Holiday Inn
in Kentucky.
The organist approaches you with two
glasses of liquid. One
blue, one yellow. Oh, and Mike, what is this
tape called? I don't know, but
before I tell you,
look how stained the inside
of the J card is where you can see
the paper's all blue, but it's yellow around the margins.
And then two holes from the middle.
That's right.
From the nubs.
From the nubs.
Oh my God.
Nub stains.
Nub stains.

What's the tape called?
What's the tape called?
Oh, wait.
Sincerely yours, DJ.
There's a name here.
Yeah, Grandstaff or something, right?
So let's search that, too.
His name is Don Grandstaff.
Oh, so we got a ton of information.
We got a lot of clues.
Do you remember?
That's the name of the tape, Jamie.
Do you remember?
I remember when this Michael Jackson song came out.
And the video, it's like an Egyptian thing.
That's all I wanted to do.
Oh.
It is an Egyptian video.
It's an Egyptian video.
I completely forgot about that.
Yeah, yeah, it's cool.
I thought it was going to have Michael Jordan in it.
No, no, it was Michael Jackson.
Oh, you know what?
We never looked up who made the art for...
I know.
Jimmy, find out who did this artwork,
and then we can let everyone go and play these tapes.
Okay.
But you have to find out who did the candle one.
Candle three.
Candle three.
