Happy anniversary, boys.
The one year, and they said we couldn't do it.
I shouldn't even be here.
No, you shouldn't. None of us should, really. Against all odds couldn't do it. I shouldn't even be here. No, you shouldn't.
Against all odds, we made it one year.
I mean, because I
wasn't on the first episode.
We all know the backstory.
We all know that.
Feels pretty good.
It does feel good.
I feel comfy over here.
I got you guys a little treat.
What's that Miller Alley from over there?
That's from last week. I got you guys a little treat. What's that Miller Valley thing over there? That's from last week.
I got you guys a little treat for the
anniversary show. Oh, yeah?
Can we get that treat?
What the?
I knew you made a cake!
I baked you a cake.
Oh, that's so good. Hand out those plates.
Oh, look. There's a one
on it. You like that?
A cassette cake.
We'll get a picture of that and get that up.
Those are peanut butter chips, or the screws and the spools.
That's so funny.
You like that?
We'll light the candle.
I was talking to Mike on Facebook today, and I asked if he made a cake.
He really did.
He really did make a cake?
I thought you were doing some inside info.
I'm sorry.
Did Liz make the cake?
No, I made the cake.
Mike made the cake?
Yeah, I baked the cake.
Well, it was Liz's birthday yesterday.
Oh, so you made two cakes.
Well, I made one cake and cut it in half.
But there it is.
You got a smaller cake.
Liz Merrick, do you want to say hi to the people in Radio Land?
Hi, tabs out, Liz's.
Let's blow out the candle.
Let's blow the tabs out.
Oof.
Got it.
Definitely wasn't participating in that.
No, that's fine.
You would have blew that thing
right out of the way.
It would have been like
a Three Stooges sketch.
All right.
Can we blow that out?
We did blow it out.
Oh, yeah, we blew that out.
We're going to get a nice group shot.
We'll get a group shot.
When are we going to eat? We're going to eat it soon, though. We'll get a group shot during the first tape. Get on that out. We'll get a group shot.
We'll get a group shot during the first tape.
We'll get a group shot during the first tape.
Wow, this is fabulous.
It is pretty great.
What a work of art.
There's little screws.
He did the screws. All the attention to detail there. I thought of everything. There's little screws. He did the screws.
All attention to detail there.
I thought of everything.
He's a detail man.
You want to jump in with some tapes?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
That's not going to... That's the only thing that's good?
That's fine.
I would choose a flat surface.
I looked. I couldn't find one.
You shouldn't put it down by your feet
because you're going to get up and go to the bathroom and step
right in it.
Listen.
Let's jump in here.
Wow.
We put things on the
floor.
Year number two.
Tabs out year number
two.
Number two.
I'm going to start
this off.
I'm going to start
off number two the
same way we started
off number one.
Do any of you remember
the first tape we
played?
It was the Robert
Turman and...
God damn it. Who was it split with? I don't know. Do either of you remember the first tape we played? It was the Robert Turman and...
God damn it.
Who was the split with?
I don't know.
It was the Robert Turman neon depth split
on a sound design recording.
Yeah.
So I figured let's start off...
I dig the art.
You did dig the art.
Let's start off year number two
with another Robert Turman track
from a tape that just came out a little bit ago
on Fabrica.
Tape called Macro.
It's a
pretty good jammer.
There is a lot of burping.
Nice.
So let's jump right into this.
I like this.
Cut this
cake up.
This is on Fabrica?
Fabrica or Fabrica?
Well, the accent's over the A, so it's Fabrica.
Okay, I've been saying it wrong this whole time.
Fabrica's a cleaner.
Okay.
Fair enough.
Interesting.
This is a good label.
Oh, yeah.
Fabrica or Fabrica, however. Fabrica. Or Fabrica.
However you say it.
They put it on tape for you recently, didn't they, Dave?
Like a sound out light tape?
Yeah.
I like the first track on the A side.
It's called Fiery Cock Dub.
It's a fiery one.
All right.
Well, let's get in here with a track.
I believe it's the first track on the B side of the robert herman tape macro on how do you say it fabrica fabrica on fabrica Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Robert Turman, Office Tape Macro on Fabrica.
That one was good, too.
Glad you liked it, Dave.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Dave, do you want to go next?
Or do you guys want surprise number two?
What?
There's another surprise?
Do you guys want your second surprise right now? I think so. Can we get the want surprise number two? What? There's another surprise? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Do you guys want your second surprise right now?
I think so.
Can we get the second surprise, please?
What?
Ladies and gentlemen, John Pyle.
John Pyle's here.
This is crazy.
Devotees to the show.
What?
We know John Pyle from filling in for Joe B.
Whoa.
This is insane.
Is there a place where I can plug in my mic?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, we'll get you all set up, John Pyle.
We'll get you all set up, John Pyle.
You just take a seat while Dave introduces this next cassette.
John Pyle, you got me so flustered,
I don't even know what I want to play next.
Yeah, how long was he out there?
How did you time all of this?
John Pyle showed up last Wednesday,
and he set up a cot in the basement.
Wow.
Whoa, this is crazy.
This is Tab's out birthday.
It's my birthday.
Anyone who listens right now is like,
who the fuck is John Pyle?
What the fuck do I care?
John Pyle from, what is it, episode six or seven?
Something like that, yeah.
He filled in for Joe B. one time.
Yeah. He's been mentioned several times. He likes to play things with swastikas and wieners on them. Something like that, yeah. He filled in for Joe B. one time. Yeah.
Wow.
He's been mentioned several times.
He likes to play things with swastikas and wieners on him.
Yeah, he doesn't.
I won't allow it.
He's got a little...
What?
He's setting up a little...
He's prepared.
He's got a little mic stand.
He's got a tabletop mic stand.
Yeah, he brought his own equipment.
Man.
Did you bring a chair?
Like a camping chair?
No, I didn't.
I didn't think of everything.
All right, Dave.
What do you got? Play a tape didn't. We'll figure that out. I didn't think of everything. All right, Dave, what do you got?
Dave, play a tape so we can get all set up here.
I feel like there should be like, we should be playing Paul McCartney,
Happy Birthday, like behind all of the talking bars.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
The entire time.
Things got a little loud in that section. Oh, you think?
When we all lost our minds because John Pyle walked in?
Normally, little fanfare for a John Pyle appearance.
Yeah, usually it's go away.
No, John, you can't play.
Go away.
All right, Dave, what do you got?
All right.
I'm going to do this guy that we got in the mail, I guess a couple weeks ago.
Self-released tape by a project called Gut Nose, dude from New York.
Comes in this fancy little Brad pack.
It's like one of those things from like, what is it?
Stumptown.
Stumptown.
Yeah.
I don't know if Stumptown actually.
Oh, yeah. There is. Okay. Because I think Stumptown actually... Oh, yeah, there is.
Okay.
Because I think Stumptown trademarked that package.
Yeah, I was going to say that.
Yeah.
I've never seen...
This one's white.
The ones that I've seen have been that craft brown,
but this one's all white on the outside.
The one thing...
This is like it's got an Atari kind of image of a dude on the front.
There's like a shitload of like stickers and stuff like that inside too, right?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, they're all homemade stickers.
I can't get over the fact, though, that the title is called Eat Biscuit.
Yeah.
And it's like lowercase e, lowercase a, capital T, and then lowercase b-i-S-K-I, and then capital T again.
Capital T again.
I can't wrap my brain around that.
That's funny.
Apparently, he recorded all of this with a biscuit,
which is some kind of synthesizer, and an OP-1.
Oh, okay.
I don't know what those are.
All right.
Are you sure it wasn't an actual biscuit,
like a buttermilk biscuit?
Well, you might have, you know, just...
That was a pretty tight biscuit. I like it. Because these sounds are pretty good. Is this, like, buttermilk biscuit? Well, you might have, you know, just... That was a pretty tight biscuit.
Because these sounds are pretty good.
Is this, like, pro-dub, or did he, like,
screen that on there himself?
It's like a clear red shell with, like,
white imprinting. I kind of feel like
it's screened on. It said it was
pro-dub, but I don't know if he put that on
himself or not.
I don't know. Altogether, like, pretty
decent presentation.
The only thing that I'm going to complain about
is
outside looks nice,
spines look nice,
nice little track listing on the back,
you open it up,
and the motherfucker scribbled all over the inside.
What is he covering up there?
It's an Eat Biscuit sticker.
Why is there a red sharpie over top of it? I don't know.
I don't like that.
That sucks. Eat Biscuit, what's the deal?
You know, if I peeled
that off...
Mike, you can do that later.
I'll pick at it.
Let's get into this gut nose
Eat Biscuit cassette. I believe it's
self-released. Yeah, self-released. Here it is. Ready? Thank you. Thank you. Gut nose.
Eat biscuit.
Eat biscuit.
Eat biscuit.
I enjoyed that
Yeah it was good
Yeah I'm gonna know it
Tell us why you
Scribbled out all that stuff
With the red marker
Yeah I don't understand that
Sir
Maybe he had a seizure
Maybe we shouldn't
Bring this up
He was like just trying to
Number it like one
Out of
He went batty
John Pilate you wanna go?
Yeah sure I'll go
I brought a couple I brought a couple with me John Pilate you want to go yeah sure I'll go I brought a couple with me
John Pilo you haven't
I haven't been here in a while
last time I was on I played something
from
Strange Rules one of my favorite labels
I brought another thing from them
this is a Royal Tropical Institute
the Relic
cassette it's super short it's like a C10.
It's definitely minimal, techno-influenced.
Definitely is something that has come out in the aftermath of Vatican Shadow.
But still, I really like it a lot.
I'm going to take a look at that.
We've got a prison tape with a label on the side.
Prison tape with a single-sided label.
I really like how all the tapes on this label look.
Like, it's always very...
My paws on that.
This is awesome.
Very simple presentation, you know.
Nice.
Black and white.
I like when tapes are really short, like a C10 or something like that,
I like when they're, like, prison tapes or something
where you can actually see the tape.
Yeah.
And you can see how little of it is in there.
I don't know why I like that. It's the only way I'll accept it.
I like the label on the prison tape too.
That's nice.
Let me see the packaging.
Pretty simple photocopy.
I've seen it all. John Powell's tapes.
I was looking through Justin Gilday's 7 inches back in the day.
Oh yeah, it's like all old crust 7 inches.
You got a cattle decapitation
tape over there.
All black and white.
Or not, I was thinking of Cattle Press.
Who was Cattle Press?
Cattle Press was a band.
I think they were from New York.
They were like a sludgy band, right?
I don't remember.
All right, let's get into this.
What is the band?
Royal Tropical Institute.
Royal Tropical.
I went to the Royal Tropical Institute.
Oh, yeah, you do have a degree there. I got kicked out.
I got kicked out. Is that where you learn
how to make like $6,000 in three
days or something like that? Yeah.
Do you want to make more money? Sure, we all do.
Alright, here's something
from the Royal Tropical
Institute tape relic
on...
Only 35 copies, huh? Yep. Strange
rules. 34 other people out there.
Got this with you, John Pyle.
You're in an elite crew.
Here it is. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right, and that was Relic by Royal Tropical Institute
off of the Strange Rules label, UK-based.
I'm going to check that stuff out.
Yeah. I went to that institute.
You didn't tell us you went to that fucking institute.
I have some fond memories from that institute.
Good times.
Good times.
We've had some good times over the year here.
Are you into another surprise?
I can think of one moment in particular
that had us all in stitches.
What was that? You just think about one now. Everyone that had us all in stitches. What was that?
You just think about one now.
Everyone has their own personal flashback now.
Nipsey Russell is my favorite.
That was a good one.
When Nipsey joined us.
When Nipsey came in that episode.
That was good.
I like the story about Mike being Lord of the Rings.
That was good.
Recent one.
That was pretty good.
I still haven't actually shaken that one off yet. Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings. What tape good. Recent one. That was pretty good. I still haven't actually shaken that one off yet.
Lord of the Rings.
Lord of the Rings.
What tape you want to play, Joe?
I want to play Cut Off This Team Jordan tape.
Orange Milk.
Another Orange Milk jam.
Orange Milk are rolling right now.
Michael Jordan, number 23.
Episode 23.
I love how they spell it T-E-A-M-M-J-O-R-D-A-N-N.
Yeah, it's pretty awesome.
And then, yeah, this artwork is pretty amazing.
It's like Lawnmower Man.
Yeah, it's like a total Lawnmower Man virtual reality face.
And then the title Champion in the red, white, and blue gradient underneath.
The artwork makes me want to play Myst for some reason.
There's also some pretty sick track titles on here.
And guests.
Oh, yeah, Belinda featuring Police Academy here. And guests. Oh, yeah.
Belinda featuring Police Academy 6.
Ass Clap Therapy.
20,000 hits.
And there's someone else featuring somebody else, right?
Oh, there's the New Superinformation Highway.
Oh, that's with a trademark sign.
And then, oh, featuring dick models.
Dick models.
Yeah, this tape's pretty good.
Speaking of number 23, you know if you add up 9-11-2001, it equals 23?
Thanks for bringing that up, Dave.
I just forgot about that.
Of course, actually, you know what?
I guess I wasn't supposed to forget about that.
So legitimately, thanks for bringing that up, Dave.
Also, there's a YouTube video for this song.
It's pretty awesome.
I thought you were going to talk about how...
We're playing Stadium, right?
Yeah, we're going to play Stadium.
I thought you were going to talk about how there's a YouTube video about 9-11 that we should watch.
No, I'm just ignoring your ignorant 9-11 comment, Dave.
I'm trying to get on track here.
A lot of people died.
It was a serious thing.
Wasn't that a man?
I don't believe it actually happened,
so it doesn't matter.
Oh, come on.
What?
They just rounded up to the nearest 3,000.
Yeah, it's fine.
So it could have been like 72 people.
We're going off the rails on this one.
Pull it back, boys.
John Pyle's not saying anything in case an employer Googles his name.
It wasn't a hijacked plane.
It was Neil Armstrong.
The failed moon landing.
He finally made it back.
That's fucked up.
We'll edit all this out No we won't
Just bleep out every time somebody says 9-11
9-11
Team Jordan
Not the 9 part just the 11
So it's like 9 beep
And it's like god what are they talking about
It can't be 7 up
It can't be 3's company
Alright team Jordan With the track stadium david here
have you heard this yet no i haven't then saddle in because you're in for a treat partner on orange
milk Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Team Jordan.
That was a cut.
That was a cut.
Was that like glass breaking?
I don't know.
On those parts at the end?
And I understand that it's just obviously sampled from another song
and then recut together.
It's really good.
But something about it, like John, the production of it,
the fuzziness and the changes, it's so good.
I don't care how hard it was to make.
Sounds good.
Yeah.
Oh, no, no.
And that's hard to make. It good. Yeah. Oh, no, no. And that's hard to make.
It is. Seriously,
after hearing that, I spent like a couple days trying
to do that.
Couldn't get them on the horn for days.
Couldn't do it. Yeah.
That stuff's hard, man. Beat music in general
is hard. Making electronic music.
It's hard.
It's really hard.
I got the tape. I need to dig into it.
You need to get into it.
I got a package from Orange Milk.
I got that pajama tape.
That one's good, too.
We'll play that next time.
Yeah, yeah.
You're going to play that next time?
We'll get around to that, yeah.
You were going to play that tonight, but I wanted to play the Team Jordan.
I don't go too orange.
Yeah, we don't want to overdo it, but they're putting out some good stuff.
They are, man.
All right.
Bam.
I'll take the reins.
I'm going to play this Merzbow tape,
that gift put out.
Merzbow, huh?
Yeah.
Untitled, November 1989.
I believe it was recorded in 1989,
around September or October.
Probably November.
I'm being a little stinker.
This came out in the flood of Merzbow
unreleased material.
Live stuff.
Stuff from the late 80s, early 90s
that all of a sudden
it all came out.
As if he opened up a closet
and a bunch of masters just fell out.
You know what? I'm going to send these to all these
small American noise labels.
This is a good tape.
I dig the artwork.
It's a crayon on a receipt or something like that.
It's like a little drawing.
And it's front and back.
I'm assuming these are long gone, because that came out two years ago or three years ago or something.
In 89, right?
But yeah, GIF put this out.
We'll play a little bit off the A side.
I don't think we need to really get into
who Merzbaugh is.
I think that's all been covered.
Who's that?
Hmm.
What's interesting is
the cover art was made in 89 as well.
Oh, really?
By Merzbaugh. Oh, shit. It says cover art, made in 89 as well. Oh, really? By Merzbell.
No shit.
It says cover art, MA 1989.
Yeah, it does.
Good eye, Joe.
Yeah.
Oh, this is number 123 out of 200.
At first, I thought that was someone's name,
MA 1989.
I was like, that's weird.
This tape is...
That'd be a good name.
All right, well, let's play this
MA 1989 tape on gift.
Yeah.
Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Merzbau, untitled, November 1989, cassette on gift.
Came out in 2010.
I bet you can get it on Discogs if you want it.
I never bought anything off of Discogs.
Me neither.
I buy stuff over there pretty regularly.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's not bad.
You can make an account.
You can get some good deals.
You can make an account for anything.
Yeah, you have to make it.
But I mean, it's...
You got to get a confirmation email
to confirm the account?
Yes, of course you do.
You got to go into spam
if it doesn't show up right away?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not doing that.
This is cheaper than eBay.
This is already too complicated
How many minutes of material do you think Merzbow
Has recorded in his entire career
Well what did we just play about 8
So more than 8
Somewhere between 8
And 2 billion
Somewhere in there in that range
Alright Dave you wanna go
Sure I can go
I got this toothpick today It's like a joke
You bringing your toothpicks?
No I actually brought some really nice toothpicks
Surprise number three
I actually got these
I got these in the mail

Like the tea tree oil
And like cinnamon toothpicks
That's the ones I have at home right there So I got like I got these really nice ones Satisfied with the tea tree oil and cinnamon toothpicks.
Oh, that's the ones I have at home right there. I got these really nice ones.

Let me see that.
There you go.
You want one?
Yeah.

Yeah, these are the best kind.
They're so good.

Dave's been real into toothpicks lately.
I love these things.
Dave's my toothpick guy. I go through one of these a week.
Yeah.
Like when I.
This is like.
This is a big part of how I quit smoking was these toothpicks.
Same here.
Was like.
Like I would have killed myself if I didn't have.
Get on that mic,
John Pyle. You gotta get on top of that mic.
Alright, Dave. I feel better now.
The Madonna microphone.
So then he can just move all around freely.
Then get some wings
and fly around the room.
The Boris Trummer microphone.
Oh, yeah.
So, I want to play this tape by this project called A La Vie Or.
A La Vie Or.
I think that's how you say that.
You did a fabulous job with that one.
Who knows what I would have said?
Nobody knows.
I'm just going to pretend that's right.
It's on the label La Cahou, Canadian label.
Which we're definitely Not saying that right either
Right
I think it's Lockahoo
Speaking of not being able
To say stuff right
I put together a
10 minute montage
Only 10
Well I got a little sick
Of rooting through
All the old episodes
Oh man I was really hoping
It was going to be longer
But I got a 10 minute montage
Of us saying shit
Completely wrong
Nice
Which I'll get that
Uploaded to the internet
Nice
Sooner or later
Let me see this I'm really digging this label Yeah this label Is really good completely wrong. Nice. Which I'll get that uploaded to the internet sooner or later.
Let me see this.
I'm really digging this label.
Yeah, this label is really good.
Really limited runs, though.
I think most of the stuff
that they do is
like under 40 copies.
So,
kind of hard to nail down.
Really?
Under 40 copies?
Under 40.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, I dig these, the little
U-card slipping
things. Oh, have you never seen anything
on this label? No, it's really nice.
Everything they do
looks pretty nice. It looks really good.
I really like that
solid color stripe that goes along
because it covers up
like a third of the artwork. Yeah, that's really cool.
I've never seen anyone kind of use that before.
That's neat.
We've got some other ones from that label laying around.
Or maybe we don't.
I don't know.
Not this one.
I have some stuff in the house.
Oh, do you?
In this room.
Okay.
Dave, you're going to have to say the name again.
A la Vior, maybe?
A la Vior.
I think that's right.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's the easiest way to say it, I think.
A la Vior cassette. I don't think you say the J. Yeah. Okay. That's the easiest way to say it, I think. A la visure cassette.
I don't think you say the J.
Oh, whatever.
Here it is.
Off of clocks.
Like fury. Thank you. Thank you. I'm sorry. uh Thank you. so Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Cake's pretty good.
Do you like it?
Yeah.
All of yours.
Made from scratch.
From scratch?
Yeah.
Not, wait.
Eating a Tabs Out birthday cake right now.
You didn't get a box no oh from scratch
huh bacon i'm bacon i throw a neighbor i pop the neighbor on and i went to work how'd you make that
black icing black icing for the lettering oh no that i just bought a thing of icing and i piped it
on but everything else i made now the sparkles. Now I'm disappointed. Dark chocolate cake.
You made the little peanut butter little...
I bought some peanut butter chips.
Did you make the jimmies?
I mean, maybe you have a chip maker.
What about the jimmies?
What about the jimmies and the sparkles?
I got a chip maker that you pour the thing into,
and then it's like real labor-intensive,
and then one comes out at a time.
Well, the conveyor belt.
Yeah, it took me like a week.
Chocolate peanut butter birthday cake.
Dark chocolate peanut butter.
Dark chocolate.
There's peanut butter chips throughout the cake as well, not just on top.
You'll find one every once in a while.
All right, John Powell, before you get a slice of cake, what do you want to play?
All right, so my next selection is...
John Powell, get on your microphone.
My next selection is the Roman cross side of the Roman cross,
Circle of Ouroboros split on Tour de Garde from Canada.
I like a lot of black metal, but I especially like black metal that's kind of,
well, super underproduced. And it kind of incorporates like the improvisational elements of noise, kind of super loose. And this band like embodies that to a degree.
Well, they embodied that to a degree.
I think they're not a band anymore.
The guitarist is playing in Asymmetry, who are really good.
But yeah, this is the, I guess I'll play the first track off that split.
Here, there you go.
This looks nice.
What's up with that insert there?
Is it ripped?
No, it was just bent.
Yeah, it's just like a sheet of paper that's been, like, Xeroxed and folded up.
Oh, it's a whole – it's like a mini poster.
Yeah. Yeah, that's nice. Yeah. What was it, 8. It's like a mini poster.
Yeah, it's nice.
Was it 8.5 by 11?
Not quite.
I don't think it's quite that. Not quite.
Not quite.
Nice call, but not quite.
It's like two panels.
Is that cross on there upside down or right side up?
Right side up.
Interesting.
Clipping the script.
Going the other way. It's 2013, you know? Time. Clipping the script. Going the other way.
It's 2013, you know.
Time to think outside the box.
All right.
Anyway, this is the first track off that.
It's called Of a Fortress.
Of a Fortress.
Of a Fortress.
By Roman Cross. Yeah, I was going was gonna say i can't read this uh
i could read the actually i could almost read the circle of what is it
oriboris circle of oriboris yeah they're really good too but all right well here it is all right I need steel
In preparation
Tallying a goat
My gravel's off!
Heading for strength!
Stunning victory! I feel it all
Preparation
Time to go Trembling Trembling
Caring to go
Black metal
Ah
Being forsaken
Showing victory Sorry, Hector. Thank you. I'm not going to let you go. All right.
Of a fortress off the Roman cross side of the Roman cross circle of Ouroboros split on Tordegard.
That was good.
Good pick, Pyle.
Thanks, guys.
You're getting the hang of this.
Thanks, guys.
Pyle's picks.
It's tater time.
What's tater time?
I don't know.
Is tater time like a subdivision of Pyle's picks?
Nah, that's what my girlfriend calls it
when I'm digging through my ears.
Tater time?
What the hell does that mean? I'm digging through my ears. Tater time. What the hell does that mean?
I'm digging through my ears, getting the taters.
Getting the taters out.
Ear taters.
Ear taters.
Let's move on.
Speaking of birthdays, have you guys ever heard of the birthday paradox?
I wasn't speaking of birthdays.
No.
What's the birthday paradox?
I was talking about birthdays.
Okay.
You guys ever hear that?
Did you see that look he gave me?
You guys heard about the birthday paradox?
No.
Birthday paradox is a number.
It's a number that I guess scientists have figured out
where it's the smallest number of people
that you can get together
where the probability that two of the people in the room
will have the same birthday is over 50%.
Thanks, Dave. I didn't as over 50%. Thanks, Dave.
I didn't do well in high school, Dave.
What?
So there's a certain number of people that you can get together in a room.
Okay.
It's the smallest number of people.
And what's that number?
23.
Oh, 23 is the small.
Oh, I see what you did.
What do they call that when you're doing a bit and then it brings it back around?
Carson used to do that.
Carson used to do that all the time.
He should still be with us.
23, huh?
So yeah, if you get 23 people in a room,
the chances of two people in the room
having the same birthday is over 50%.
What if you get 1,000 people in the room?
It's well over 50%.
What if you're in a field? What if you're outside?
What if you're in a field?
Or in a park?
23 of us are in a park. Just a gathering of people in a place.
Well, you should have said that in the beginning.
All right, Dave or Joe.
Whose turn is it right now?
Do you want to play a tape or do you want to tell us some stupid shit about birthdays?
I'll play a tape.
Okay.
We'll play some stuff.
Dave's shooting daggers at me.
This is a segue into...
Oh, you're going to play that now?
Yeah, we'll play that now.
Okay.
Some stuff off the WolfEyes Recycle Tape on RRR,
which came out a long, long time ago.
And this is going to segue into some online content.
Yeah, speaking of WolfEyes,
if you point your browser to...
I wasn't talking about WolfEyes.
Booyah. If you go to tabsout.com...
He just knocked you out like that guy in the video.
I know. I got a cholesterol.
I can dish it out.
I can't take it.
If you go to tabsout.com, there is
a Wolf Eyes or Richard
Simmons quiz you can take.
Which I'm going to take while we play the tape.
Yeah, yeah.
We'll see how Joe does.
Where it's 20.
I'm going to take it as well.
You can't do it on your phone.
Yes, you can.
From what I hear.
You can?
I did.
Okay.
I heard that you couldn't.
It's 20 titles of releases.
And you just have to guess if they're Wolf Eyes releases or Richard Simmons, the workout
enthusiast releases.
And let me tell you how hard...
They don't make guys like him anymore.
No, no, they broke the mold after they made him.
There was only one of them.
No, because then there was the Insanity Lady who was like him.
The Insanity Lady?
I don't even know who that is.
She had really short hair, and her workout was the Insanity Workout.
Google that later.
But let me just give you a little a little thing about this quiz
you may think
Susan Powers
you may think oh this is going to be easy
because like you know
Bernbein, Wolf Eyes, Sweat Into The Oldies, Richard Simmons
but let me tell you
after I made this quiz
after I made this quiz
like I took it five minutes later
and I got 18 out of 20
and then I see John Olsen took the quiz
and he also got 18 out of 20 I don't I see John Olsen took the quiz and he also got 18 out of 20.
I don't think anyone has got 100% yet.
So, yeah, go ahead and...
If you get 100%, let us know.
But Joe will take this quiz while you play.
You're going to play the Wolf Eyes Recycle Tape?
Yeah, just jump right into it.
Jump right into it?
Beginning, no end.
Yeah, everyone knows what a recycle tape is.
RRR out of Massachusetts.
Thanks for telling us anyway.
Lowell.
Lowell, yeah.
Old tapes, duct tape over top of them.
Sharpie.
What tape got taken out here?
Do we know what this is?
Do we got any...
I'm not going to go search it.
Let's jump right in.
Let's jump on in with Wolf Eyes Recycle Tape on RRR. so The The so
so uh Both of us are our recycle tape. Wolf Eyes.
RRR Recycle Tape.
RRR.
I hear they're back, right?
What, the recycled stuff?
No, Wolf Eyes.
Oh, yeah, new member.
New member.
Connelly.
Mike Connelly, I hear.
Oh, no shit.
He just left the group.
Yeah, some other guy now.
Yeah, I don't know the other dude.
I'm not sure either.
Yeah, maybe...
Saw someone on the interweb.
Has there been any other, like, noise bands
where a member left and somebody replaced him?
Wolfize before.
Yeah, no.
I don't know.
I mean, probably.
Probably, yeah.
It is an interesting thing, though.
I mean, that wasn't like a steady member for such a long period of time
and then just stopped and somebody else.
Not like a, you know, not noise bands where there's like a recurring member
or somebody that pops in.
You know what I mean?
Like they've been like a core group.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Well, this is like the third lineup change, right?
I don't know.
Has it been well either way
joe b got uh 75 out of 100 points on that quiz tough questions on there man 15 out of 20 beginning
it's really easy and then it gets a little tough yeah that's how i do it that's i got a 70 you got
a 70 i did better than dave good job john paul you want to take it during the next tape you said
liz got 90 right yeah or not 95 which is better than what John Olsen got.
Yeah.
And me, and I had just made it.
But I got to the one.
I don't want to say it out loud, but I got to the one,
and I was like, oh, what is that that could go either way?
And I got it wrong.
Twice, obviously.
Nice.
All right, I'm going to play this tape by a project called Tiger Village.
It's a self-released cassette.
A dude, I think
he's from Ohio.
He just released this himself.
I think he just put out a second
Tiger Village tape.
He sent us a copy. It's really fucking good.
Of course,
Dave picked this one.
We split up all the mailbag stuff.
Dave, I knew I shouldn't have played this in front of him.
Because I knew he was going to like it.
You let him pick first?
No, no.
I picked first, but I picked something else.
But you didn't pick that one.
Well, I thought it was going to...
You thought it would make the rotation around.
Well, I'm just going to order it anyway now.
I'll probably grip them both.
You did the same thing last week.
You got so pissed that Joe B. picked the tape that you really, really wanted.
But you went first. I really wanted that tape. You went first. Well, there picked the tape that you really, really wanted, but you went first.
You went first.
There's another tape I also really wanted.
Well, you can't get them all.
It's a game of chance.
I love a game of chance.
I like the illustration on this.
I really like it.
It's like a line drawing.
I don't know what's going on.
The little dude's in.
I see another.
He's standing in front of another guy with a mustache.
Eye.
There's the mustache.
This is his head.
There's his ear. It's his head. There's his ear.
It's his hair.
I'm not seeing that.
I'm seeing some sort of caterpillar-like creature
crawling across a hill.
Well, I'm not even talking about that part.
I see this is hair.
That is an eye.
And that is a mustache.
Pro-dub taped.
Black shells with white printing.
I like there's a little bit of the...
Oh, of the artwork.
Of the artwork on side B.
But I think this may be his debut release.
So here is something off of side A of the, I believe, self-titled tape by Tiger Village. Thank you. I'm going to go to the other side. so
so I'm not sure what to do. so
uh so Thank you. I'm sorry. To be continued... I'm sorry. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Tiger Village
off the self-released, self-titled cassette
that came out very, very recently.
Burner.
Yeah, man.
I'll have to try to grab one of those.
TigerVillage.Bandcamp.com
I love band camps.
Yeah, I'm just starting to like, I mean, I've known of them and seen them,
but I just started to actually pay attention to them recently,
and it's very
convenient and nicely laid out.
And labels like Sonic
Meditation have a band camp and you can listen to all their
releases. Yeah, I know just recently Hanson
put up so much
catalog stuff on their band camp.
Seriously rules to be able to stream some of that stuff.
And it's cool that it has
a buy now button or whatever
like a link to buy something.
Yeah, whether you want to buy the digital release.
Yeah, buy the digital or get a physical format.
Yeah, it's a nice little setup.
It's awesome.
For sure.
And I love the layout.
I understand I was talking to you.
This is nothing necessarily new, this idea.
Yeah.
But it's a very good layout.
Yeah, I like when things are...
Brought to you by bandcamp.com
Tiger Village
also just released
2
so you can pick that up as well
if you are so inclined
is it Dave's turn?
it's Dave's turn
Dave's corner
me's turn
I think I'm going to try this split corner. Me's turn. Me.
I think I'm going to try this split on...
He's going to try it.
I'm going to try this split on...
Yeah, why try? I've heard it before.
On Teen...
See if it plays.
On Teen Action Records.
It's split between
Swamp Leather and Adam Smith. Swamp Leather. split between Swamp Leather and Adam Smith.
Swamp Leather.
What is Swamp Leather?
It's a leather made from alligator
hide.
Is it?
Yeah.
All right.
Are you doing a reversal?
You're telling Mike something that isn't true?
That sounds true.
I'm not even going to check that one. true? That sounds true.
I'm not even going to check that one.
I'm just going straight.
That is now fact to me.
I'm going to start going to stores like,
y'all got swamp leather?
Y'all got swamp leather here?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Well, there's alligator hide.
I'm not even sure what a hide is.
That's skin.
Okay.
Just skin. Just skin? It's weird that it's called hide is. That's skin. Okay. Just skin.
Just skin?
It's weird that it's called hide when you can see it.
Did John Powell pass out?
Are you still with us, John?
What?
John Powell keeps playing with his phone.
I'm starting to regret even inviting you.
That's crazy, dog.
It's iPhone 5.
It's just like... It's insane.
It scratches my butt.
He's getting his Inventory in order
Of all those
Danish ladies
Coming over in the
Danish
No there's no Danish ladies
Coming over
Hand me this tape
What do you got now
Swamp leather
On teen action
I think
Both of these projects
Are from Ohio
I could be wrong
But
I'm pretty sure that I remember that.
And I don't have any Wi-Fi, so I can't look it up.
I don't like how it's just a white shell.
Does that rub off?
It just rubbed right off.
Did you rub it off?
It's almost like ballpoint pen or something like that.
Or like a felt pen.
That's hilarious.
That's just an SL and an AS on either side.
Yeah, I rubbed that right off.
I like it,
and you rubbed it right off.
Well, send it back to the label
to write it back on for you.
That rubbed right off.
That rubbed right off.
Well, I'm all sweaty, too.
Yeah.
I'm all clammy right now, yeah.
I don't think it's the sweat.
I think you got, like,
some kind of, like...
Oh, Swamp Leather is Ryan Jewell.
Basic chemical happening here.
Ryan Jewell, percussion,
Fred Fenning, bass,
Kevin Gare, guitar,
Nicholas Moir, Yamaha
synth. You guys like No Neck Blues Band?
Adam Fleischer, guitar. It's kind of like that.
Tom Derwent, keyboard,
Ryan McCauley, alto sax,
Max... Alto sax. Max
Grohwick, microkorg,
microkoog.
Yeah, it actually sounds koog. This is an ensemble. Yeah, it's actually pronounced Kug.
This is an ensemble.
Yeah, this is a pretty big one.
You know what I read about this?
That it's the Ocean's Eleven of noise.
All right.
All right, so let's get into it.
Y'all just got together and had a good time.
Who cares what the outcome was?
Is that what Ocean's Eleven was about?
Yeah.
I thought they pulled off a heist
and they were really concerned about the outcome. I actually really like Ocean's Eleven. You haven't got to the end of Ocean's Eleven, have? I thought they pulled off a heist and they were really concerned about the outcome.
You haven't got to the end of Ocean's Eleven, have you?
I really like that movie.
Right now it's just about a bunch of guys getting together
and looking at a casino.
Wait till you get to the end. It's exciting.
No, the actors got together and just made whatever.
It doesn't matter.
You ever see the original Ocean's Eleven?
No.
And it's like they're pulling off, you know,
it's like, I don't know, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin.
A bank heist, see?
Well, they're robbing a casino,
but they're like talking about, they're like, we pull off a cool 60 000 it's like eight grand a piece it's like and like the what they do to to rip off the casino is so
fucking bobo it's like they like put like this like glow-in-the-dark paint on these like doorknobs
and they shut the lights off but and so only they know where to go to open the doors and stuff like that.
It's,
it's,
it's horrible.
Well,
if you go back to like 1930,
you can probably pull that off.
If you,
it was back when people were stupid.
Yeah.
And people like glow in the dark paint,
play me out.
And it was like a piano guy and they were doing like vaudeville.
All right. Well,
here's something from swamp leather on the Adam Smith split cassette on Teen Action Records.
Teen Action.
Featuring ink that just wipes right off. I was born in the United States, with no parents. I was born in Mexico, with my parents in the United States.
I grew up in Mexico, and I grew up in the United States.
I grew up in Mexico, and I grew up in the United States.
I grew up in Mexico, and I grew up in the United States.
I grew up in Mexico, and I grew up in the United States.
I grew up in Mexico, and I grew up in the United States. I'm going to go ahead and do a little bit of a quick test. Thank you. Oh so Thank you. so
um I'm gonna kill you! I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you! I'm gonna to go to the other side. Thank you. Thank you. so
so so
um Thank you. so so
so so Thank you. Thank you. so Thank you. so
um I'm not sure if you can see it, but I'm not sure if I can do it. All right.
Swamp leather.
Swamp leather.
I enjoyed that.
Swamp hide.
That's not what I thought swamp leather would sound like.
Especially with their old English font.
Columbus dudes.
Did I say Ohio?
Yeah.
Or did I say Cleveland?
I think it's Ohio.
Okay.
All right.
Well, both of those groups, swamp leather and Adam Smith.
Swamp leather.
Or Ohio Peeps.
Piles Picks.
It's a big ensemble, right?
It is a lot of people.
There's like eight dudes.
Eight persons.
Eight peeps.
It's a solid jam.
All right.
So I got this tape.
It's a material sequence.
It's out on a bleak environment, who just stopped being a label recently.
What are they now?
Car company.
They're not saying anymore.
Getting into the auto business.
Changing everything around.
Auto insurance.
No, they stopped being a label, but this is Bleak Environment's cassette residual grid.
And it's sort of the opposite end of the whole uh minimal synth spectrum and
that it's just super blown out and there's like not really like a lot of sequencers like everything's
kind of played live but uh i really like it a lot it's like probably one of my favorite things that
came out in 2012 i'm gonna tell you you can't go wrong with using a typewriter typewriter font
typewriter not the typewriter font actually using an actual typewriter like the name is just spaced out on the spine material sequence all the way across i'll take
note of that yeah it was really what'd you say dave i said i'll take note of that little mike's tips
number one typewriter font number two band-Aids. No good.
Looking to spice up that J card?
Break out the old typewriter.
A new ribbon will make it look nice.
This looks really good.
But an old ribbon has its place.
It looks like a congenic sound release a little bit.
John Powell, did you want to say something?
No, I have nothing left to say
oh no no it's it's pretty cool it's a c45 tabs in i don't know i'll pop those out for you i run a service now you send me your tapes i'll pop the tabs out
and then i'll keep the tab so if you want them back in you can send me the tape back and I'll just glue them back in
there's a service that I heard about on the radio
this guy you can send
you send him pencils and he sharpens them for you
and this is real
does he make money
yeah he makes money he charges for it
I'll do it
he charges for it
I like how the first thing you spilled
or dropped wasn't the beer but it was a
beer but the but the hits on it was on and then when i went to grip oh my god just play the wait
wait i just want to make it clear what just happened mike knocked over a bottle of miller
highlife that had the cap on and he didn't realize it had a cap on so while he was reaching for it to
make sure it didn't spill he knocked over a bottle that was actually open
and spilled that all over some gear.
I haven't used that in a while.
He doesn't even know how it works.
My favorite part about when I reach for it with my cat-like reflexes
is it was already laying flat on the table.
Fine where it landed.
It was fine, yeah.
All right, material sequence, residual grid.
Let's go.
Material sequence. Thank you. Thank you. so
so so Thank you. Thank you. so
so Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. so
so Thank you. Mike just spilled more beer.
Three wines that day.
Oh, man.
Next thing you know, you're talking about my social security number.
What's up, Kyle?
What was that again?
That was a material sequence.
Very close.
Their most recent tape.
I don't know if they even have anything else out.
Residual grid on Bleak Environment.
I was into that.
I really liked that.
Yeah, I enjoyed that.
Yeah.
I think I was saying earlier,
I like that they're doing kind of minimal synth thing,
but having it being kind of blown out and weird
and a little bit more raw.
Yeah, it sounds a little bit more, you know.
Like it was recorded in some dungeon
underneath the floorboards.
It reminds me of something, but I can't put my finger on what something is.
Yeah.
Warped.
But it's good.
I like it.
John Carpenter, VHS.
B's Boulevard.
What do you got?
What do we got here?
I'm going to play just a little bit off this Jeff German, Greg Davis tape.
I'm guessing that's how you say it.
You were talking about this the other day.
I just picked it up.
What's that, a tiger print or a zebra print on the front there?
No, I think it's something.
Leopard print.
That's one of those animal prints.
I like this black and white image with this green bar that goes all the way across the cover,
the spine, and a little bit on the back.
Mike, I like on the back, if you turn it over,
I like how that black stripe if you turn it over,
I like how that black stripe is opaque or not quite entirely opaque.
You can see the print.
This is really nicely laid out.
That's Greg Davis' label, Autumn.
Oh, is it?
Let me get a closer look at that when you're done with it, Mike. In the description of this tape.
It was recorded out in Cottonwood, Arizona.
Cottonwood, Arizona is beautiful this time of year.
The reason why I bought it, you know, it's dense
thickets of acoustic sounds, static walls
of natural objects, unmoving,
no progression, no development.
I like that. That's why I bought it.
That's why you got it, huh? Some noise walls?
You know what it is?
I was listening to it on the way to work the other day
and it was raining and I had my window
down, though, just a little bit.
I was interacting with it?
I mean, that's basically what the tape sounds like.
Oh, okay.
And I was thinking, this is like hippie wall noise,
and it still keeps the HWN.
So it's pretty good.
Did you just coin that?
I might have just coined hippie wall noise.
You better mail that to yourself.
Lowercase H.
Lowercase H, Hippie Walnuts.
I might start doing that.
Lowercase H, capital W, capital N.
This layout looks really good.
I'm really digging the layout of that.
Does it say who did the artwork?
You know what? It doesn't.
That's a shame.
With a nice green shell to go along with it.
With some squiggles.
I think the back might be rubbing off a little bit.
Mike, put your acid skin on there.
Let's see what happens.
I'll get to the bottom of that.
Joe, I'll have that whole shell cleaned up for you by the end of the night.
What other?
You know what?
You did that to my Crystal Palace tape, too.
You did that to my Crystal Palace tape, too, and that was pro-dubbed.
That was very confusing to me because it was just smearing right off,
and I couldn't stop myself. I think we have to get some other pro-dubbed tapes That was very confusing to me because it was just smearing right off. And I couldn't stop myself.
I think we have to get some other pro-dubbed tapes in your hands and see what happens.
Yeah, give me one.
We'll get to that.
All right, let's play a little bit of this.
Try rubbing this off.
Hand it over.
What do we got here?
Oh, no, that Decora logo is there to stay.
All right.
Oh, yeah, did you bring those tapes for me?
What tapes?
Oh, fuck. You know what? I forgot all about that. I'm sorry. I was going to say right. Oh, yeah. Did you bring those tapes for me? What tapes? Oh, fuck.
You know what? I forgot all about that.
I'm sorry.
I was going to say yes.
Well, not tapes.
I guess it's a tape.
Did you bring a tape for me?
No, I didn't.
I'm sorry.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks for nothing, Dave.
I'm sorry.
Way to be a friend.
All right.
Well, here's a little bit of the Jeff German, Greg Davis.
Collaboration?
Yeah, it's collaboration.
Collaboration cassette. Collabo. Collaboration. Collaboration Cassette.
Collabo.
Collab.
Don't put the O at the end.
On.
The old Collabo. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Thank you. so I'm sorry. Thank you. Jeff Sherman, Greg Davis.
I like it.
I just got it.
I think that tape came out a little while ago,
but I just bought that.
I could throw that on some headphones.
Yeah.
Sit outside.
It's nice. Or inside.
Inside, outside. You can
sit inside now.
Alright, I'm gonna play
two, two, two strips of bacon.
Double dose. Double dose.
I'm gonna play this
Haters When Licked Dirt
cassette. C-Zero
and Hanson.
Get it out of the bag here.
This is, I think, a reissue of an LP.
It's a reissue of an LP?
It was actually originally an LP.
It's played by rubbing dirt in it.
I played it the other day outside.
It was pretty good.
It was pretty good.
I got a Tupperware full of dirt here.
What are those weird strips of things?
Worms.
I don't know what the... Oh, that's probably going to be my trash can. That looks like magnetic tape. Tupperware full of dirt here. What are those weird strips of things? Worms.
That's probably going to be my trash can.
That looks like magnetic tape. It looks like
the thing that you pull off a cigarette packet.
That's what it looks like.
Either way, here is
the Haters
Wind Lick Dirt C-Zero
on Hanson.
Alright.
That may have been the world debut.
That's pretty good.
I think it's pretty funny that's the second time I've played that.
Look how dirty it's getting.
Alright, now I'm going to play another tape.
Now I'm going to play a real one.
You don't get two.
I get two.
I get two!
I don't get conceptual stuff.
He's got other tapes like that out, right?
He's got one where it's like, you know, the instructions are pour water on it to play it.
Or like, light this tape on fire.
That one you can only play once.
I got dirt all over me.
I wish a worm crawled out of there.
All right, I'm going to play this Sundrips tape
that came out in the most recent Fadeaway Tapes batch
label from Canada.
A lot of Canadian labels tonight.
Oh, yeah?
What else was there?
I'll boot that, eh?
What?
The Locker Room.
What'd you say, John?
Nothing.
Nothing? Because it sounded like an Australian accent oh no that was Canadian
they're all foreign to me
they're all the same
I dig these
in their most recent batch of fade away
they did a quiet evening sun drip split
that was on these
salmon colored cassette shells and this one's like a fade away. They did a quiet evening sun drip split that was on these salmon-colored
cassette shells. This one's like a
brown mustard.
Have I ever tried this before?
You've had your microphone on.
I really like the pattern
that's cut into that.
That's called waffle grid.
It looks gorgeous.
It looks appetizing.
Appetizing? It's appetizing. Yeah. Appetizing?
Yeah, it's appetizing.
I like the tip.
I like that the A and the B are...
It's like butter scotch.
Yeah, it's like on the shell, yeah.
That was some crazy illusion stuff going on
when Dave handed you the tape
because it looked like a microcassette,
and then you grabbed it.
And it got really big.
It got really big.
And all of a sudden,
I was holding it with two hands.
Like somebody just delivered a large pizza.
Order us a pizza.
God, I want a pizza.
May still be available.
Fadeaway tapes, number 30.
Is Sundrips the dude who does fadeaway tapes?
I don't know. That's a good question.
John? Joe?
I'm not sure.
No idea.
We'll have to look that up.
I think it is. Can I see the J card for that? Yeah. Lakeside View is the name of the cassette recorded October 23rd and 24th, 2010. I like that art. It's really nice. You dig the art?
I dig the art. I like how it's...
You like how it's what, Dave?
I like how it's nice.
Spit it out.
I like how it's nice.
I like how it's nice.
Thanks.
I don't know of any way that I can describe that.
Maybe I'll just take a picture and put it on the site.
Ryan Connolly and Nick
Maturo is the duo
from Sundrips
so let's
play a little bit off of side A

Lakeside View cassette on Fade Away.
Smooth jamming.
Speaking of Fade Away.
Normally that's followed up by someone saying something else.
I'm fading away.
Let's go.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Okay, Dave.
Hurry it up.
Hurry it up.
What you got?
Dave's Corner.
How about Daniel Weich?
How's that?
Daniel Weich?
Daniel Weich.
Yeah, field studies jam.
I like me, field studies jam I'd like to do some field studies A judicious observation
of that Drebbel pretend
Now I'm just a small town lawyer
Explain to me what that means
No fucking clue
That's a nice looking J-card
What's that extra little panel at the end?
They always do that, don't they?
Do they?
No, I don't think so.
I never noticed that.
I really like that artwork.
No, it's like, what is it?
Two panels plus a little half banger?
Quarter panel.
That's really nice looking.
Half panel.
That's a half panel, Dave.
Get it right.
Well, Joe's holding it at a weird angle.
Don't blame Joe.
I'll blame whoever I want.
I'll blame you.
Get a load!
Get a load of the gams
on that J-Card.
I like this
cassette shell label.
These little
space invaders
going on.
I enjoyed that.
Yeah.
I haven't seen the J-Card yet.
Is the whole thing black and white?
John was done with it.
Put her on the B-side, Mike.
You're an only child, aren't you, John?
Are you an only child?
If you had to think about it, something's going on here.
Put her on the B-side, Dave.
What's wrong with that?
Because, like, an only child.
Well, that's a good point. Well, you're adopted, so it's like you might? Because an only child... Oh, that's a good point.
Well, you're adopted,
so you might not be an only child.
Oh, right.
It's a whole other thing. But it's definitely an only child move
to be holding something.
Joe, you might have 10 brothers and sisters.
Yeah, no one knows.
I definitely do.
We still haven't...
I'm on the cert.
That's another...
We'll figure it out my birthday.
Wait, and then speaking of Joe's real parents,
are you ready for the third surprise?
Come on in!
Joe turned around and looked.
Yeah.
I just want to say, Joe didn't look.
He got so excited.
He's crying.
His heart skipped a beat.
Finally.
Finally.
Who am I?
Isn't there, like, a letter from your real moms?
It's not a letter.
It's more, like, statistics.
It's just, like, stats.
Oh, like a webilizer type thing.
They got me visits.
German-Irish.
You know, like, father 6'11".
Well, not 6'11".
Your dad was 6'11"?
No.
I wonder why they got rid of you.
I only read it once, and it's, you know.
Came out like a rut, and they just kicked him to the curb.
He was 9'11".
I thought it would be...
Come on, Dave.
Tallest man in the world. All right, well well let's play a little bit
Just like those towers
Okay

It's messed up.
On the podcast.
I hate you.
It's Regress. I've never heard of this project other than this tape
it's limited to 19 copies 19 copies huh yeah it's on that label strange rules that i always
i like i don't know it's an odd number yeah it's it's a really strange number to do 19 copies and
i bet they meant to do 20 but then one got one got messed up yeah i don't know
anyway i don't I don't know anyway
I don't really know
what to say about it
other than the tape
is a beautiful
plain
screwless tape
with a
pretty
red leader
it looks really
it looks really nice
that's interesting
it's the white shell
with a white label with a white stick.
Yeah.
With just the little black text.
It's very,
with like,
it's very like immaculate and virginal.
But then with the,
um,
the red,
the red leader,
it's like,
it's like blood in the snow.
It's real deep.
Whatever gets you,
whatever gets you off,
John.
Wait,
no,
wait,
it's rewound to the beginning of the B side, but I want to play the A side. It's real deep. Whatever gets you off, John. Wait, no, wait.
It's rewound to the beginning of the B side,
but I want to play the A side.
Well, why didn't you say anything?
Let's do it on the way here.
Well, we could have been rewinding it as you were talking about the divergence or whatever the hell you're into.
I'm not into that.
I just think it looks pretty.
You're definitely way into it.
No.
You guys think I'm into Penises and Stars, too,
after the last time I was on.
Can't you just book by its cover?
There were no Swazis on anything that I played.
I like that you call them Swazis.
You definitely like those.
It's like a nickname.
You're so comfortable with them.
Oh, my goodness.
Nothing wrong with a Swazi here and there.
No, if it's done right.
Tasteful.
If it's a tasteful...
Joe, you want to draw me up a swazi?
Yeah.
Have you ever tattooed a swazik on someone?
No, just myself.
Wait, what?
Hmm?
What?
Are you being serious?
Yeah, I did a whole bunch of hand pokes on my leg.
Wait, are you kidding me?
No, all these negative ones.
Oh, well, that's not.
That's like a pattern that makes a negative swastika.
Wait, it does.
Wait a minute.
Why do you have that?
What?
What's the story behind that?
What do you mean?
Now here's a tape from Regress.
I don't know if I feel comfortable with you in here anymore.
What, man?
It used to be good.
Well, yeah, those times are over.
Are they?
And we're taking them back.
Charlie Chaplin's mustache, but you can't take it anymore.
Yeah, me and John.
Yeah.
Wait, no, wait, wait, wait.
All right, whatever. You know, Charlie Chaplin's mustache used to be good, too. Wait no wait wait wait Alright whatever
You know Charlie Chaplin's mustache used to be good too
Yeah and Michael Jordan took it back fine
No one said shit
You keep talking about Michael Jordan with the Hitler mustache
And I've never seen it
Well you have the power of the internet look it up
Alright I'll look it up while we play this game
You ever saw the Hanes commercial
When he was on the airplane
Yeah I've seen that I don't remember
Hitler mustache
Mustache is so tiny.
I'll have to check that out.
That's how big Michael Jordan's head is.
He thinks he can bring back the Hitler mustache.
He did it.
No, he didn't.
He did it and nobody else followed suit.
He didn't, so?
We'll give it time.
And he didn't keep it.
He was still rocking it today.
He took power away from the symbol.
Yeah, exactly.
He took the win out of the sales.
Like, Haynes was like, you can't do that.
Took it back.
You know what?
Do more of the commercials.
You can't have that mustache anymore.
What?
I don't see a problem.
I think Pippin could bring it back.
You want to see me tuck a ball?
I think Pippin could bring it back.
Yeah, anybody can do it.
Anybody? Yeah. Don't bring it back. Yeah, anybody can bring it back. Let's do it. Anybody?
Yeah.
Don't bring it back.
All right, Regress.
