I hadn't watched season 9 at all.
Season 9 was pretty good.

He's like, you're going to get some button downs, the pantyhose with the line up the back, a robe so she can change, or she can just use mine.

I wish we knew his name because it was pretty awesome.
Hillboggle.
Hillboggle was awesome.
Headboggle and his dad.
He did this thing.
The set was insane, but he had some antics while he was playing.
And he did this thing where he would put down a golf ball in the front of his gear
and give it a golf club like he was about to hit into the crowd.
And everyone would move, but then he wouldn't hit it.
And he did it a couple of times.
It was pretty funny.
And it was a sick set.
And that's like a jokester.
Who else?
I really enjoyed
Murdered Man.
Yeah, Murdered Man was awesome.
Who's that now? David Russell? It's like a band.
Oh, yeah? Yeah. It was not only
an awesome
set, but it was nice to have
that thrown into the mix.
Yeah, nice change of pace. Everyone with
drums was awesome. Was there a
reunion vibe this year?

No.
No.
It was total positive vibes.

couple song titles oh nice and like the cover is like a square like This came out as an LP and they had to
format it for a cassette tape.
Is there a barcode on this?
I'd really like if there was a barcode somewhere.

You're thinking of Delmarva.
That's Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.
Oh, yeah.
Tri-state is Delaware, Pennsylvania,

Hi, Mr. Jordan, this is Robin Kemmerer.
I understand that you just phoned my office.
If you touch my sign, I will have Bristol Township Police Department come over
and I will slap you and I'll have to take you down to the District Justice
and you will pay for a new sign, you smartass.
Don't call my office again.
You know, what do you want?

No.
That wasn't good crab yesterday. Oh, don't start. Well, I was a crab, maybe. No. I was a good crab yesterday.
Oh, don't start.
Well, I couldn't.
Because when I do that, I look like eating, you know?
Yeah.
I'll lay here and crave everything in the world, but then I can't eat it.
Uh-huh.
Well, you know what you do is go buy a pound of crab meat and give it to me,
and I'll make you crab cakes and bring them to work to you.
That's not what I want.
Oh, you haven't had my crab cakes
I want crab, crab
You haven't had my crab cakes
That's why I went to Red Lobster and got the crab late
I was just sitting
You should have my crab cakes

What time are you getting off?
Any time I want, I'm supposed to get off at 6.
Oh, not 1.
Why?
I don't even get off like around 12 or 1.

I don't have any oil, Frank, and this is how I'm warming my house through my stove.
The bottom part of this stove is not coming on.
I don't know what's wrong, and it's cold in here.
Lord Jesus, there's always something. Okay, please call me. Please, when you come in, somebody got to come look
at this stove because I can't bend this house and I ain't got no heat or nothing. I'm not supposed to pay for no heat.
You didn't leave no money here to pay this oil man.
He put oil in here.
This is an answering service.
What, now?
Yeah.
Hold on.
Hello, Frank. this is Gayla.
Why didn't you tell my sons that you didn't pay the oil man?
That oil man put oil already in the tank,
knocks on the door, and we gotta pay him the money.
But I'm... I'm fucking sick of you.
Hello?
What's going on?
What's going on? What's going on?
I don't know.
It's almost 5 a.m.
Is something wrong?
I think so.
Where are you?

Where?
Rhode Island.
What are you doing there?
I don't know.
There's blood all over me.
Are you hurt, Mulder?
I don't think so.
I don't think it's my blood. Thank you. Thank you. The answer tapes
followed by
Wilted Woman.
Give me some crab cakes.
Wilted Woman.
That was awesome.
Yeah.
Did we ever look up
anything about
who put that together?
We didn't.
No, we didn't.
Well, you know, whatever.

Your lap's always hot.
Easy, daddy.
I got a number for a lap doctor you can check out.
He's called the lap doctor.
She can just look him up.
Got lap surgery.
He's very discreet.
He's like, don't stand up!
I can't work with that.
Sit back down.
I didn't go to school to have you standing up.
That's why there's only chairs everywhere in the office.
There's nowhere to walk.
This tape by, I'm assuming we're going to say this.
Zurn.
Zurn?
Yeah.
I was going to say Schurn.
Schurn.
Schurn, huh?
C-Z-E-R-N.
How do you say Czech Republic?
How do you say that?
I say Czech Republic.
You say Czech Republic.
I never say it.

Churn. What did I say?
No one knows. Dave it's called mind in transit it's the third
release on a label called castle bravo um let's see from lafayette indiana indiana this is c30
they came out i believe last month or maybe sometime in June. It was hot. It was very hot when it came out.
I think anytime
there's a Midwest...
Would that be Midwest? Indiana?
Indiana, yeah. Anytime I go,
Iowa, huh? Indiana, huh?
That's just how you feel, Joe.
I wouldn't be honest
with these feelings. Wisconsin, huh?
New Jersey, good state, too. It wouldn't, you know, be honest with you. Wisconsin, huh? New Jersey, good
state, too.
It's just a big, flat plate out there.
Do you know what that's from? I was just thinking about that the other day.
Rosemary's Baby.
Baltimore, good city, too.
It's the only thing from Rosemary's Baby I remember.
There's also a VHS version of this
that I have. What? Really?
Yeah. A Rosemary's Baby?
VHS? Yeah. There's a VHS version of this. What? Really? Yeah. A Rosemary's Baby? VHS, huh?
Yeah.
I've seen that.
There's a VHS version.
There's only one.
It's funny.
There's only one?
Yeah.
When they made Rosemary's Baby, you could only watch it in the theater,
and then somebody said, let's make a VHS version,
and then the director said, just one.
Did he do that?
He did Rosemary's Baby, right?
I know he killed someone or something, right?
What did he do?
He probably killed someone.
Remember that photo of him with the afro sitting in the courtroom?
But it's super tight tape, super tight packaging.
I believe, is that Screamprint, that cover?
Feel that.
I don't like to touch that.
I think it is.
Yeah, it's really for the detail on the text, the text treatment.
It's serious.
It's a very serious piece.
But this tape is fucking incredible.
This is out of recent grabs that I've gotten in the mail.
This is one of my faves.
Shurn.
C-Z-E-R-N.
Shurn.
Mind in Transit.
C-30 on Castle Bravo.
This is their third release. I believe a brand new label.
Or they're just taking a while to get
stuff in the mail.
Taking a while.
That's what I'm talking about, Dave.
You need to have that on there.
It comes up more than you would think.
Gotta be ready.
Always be prepared like a Boy Scout, Dave.
Dave's our resident Boy Scout.
Alright, let's get into this tape on Castle Bravo.
Cut off the...
The first track's kind of short.
Let's do the first track.
What's the first track called?
It's right there in front of you.
Cosmodrome.
Let's play a little bit of that,
and then we'll bleed into the title track,
Mine in Transit.
Why?
There was no mistake.
I nailed that, Dave.
I'm going to cut those out.
Okay.
Nothing just happened.
Here we go.
Mine in Transit. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 The End I'm not going to let you go. Thank you. so

Churn.
Mind in transit.
C30 on Castle Bravo.
I believe it's fairly limited.
So Castle Bravo has a band camp,
as does, you know,
I think last count,
they said 73% of the good set labels do.
Have band camps? Have band camps. 73izet labels do. Have band camps?
Have band camps.
73%.
Active band camps.
Active band camps.
ABCs.
Yeah.
So check that one out.
Grab that.
It's a profanity.
A little good tape.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
All right, Joby.
Uh-huh.
Why don't you play?
You think you're so good?
Why don't you play? You think you're so good? Why don't you play, Dave?
Let's play this
Matt Nida.
Matt Nida?
I like that cover. Let me see that.
It's nice. It's an astronaut with a triangle
on his... You ain't got to say anything more
than that. This is almost like that picture of Joby's
dad from Facebook.
He photoshopped his face into an astronaut.
Did we talk about that story?
Photoshopped.
Well, MS Paint.
Did we talk about that story on the show before?
I don't know.
Tell that story, dude.
Yeah, I think we did.
Tell it again.
It's really funny.
I looked up.
I was just goofing on Facebook one day, and I searched for different Joe Brittenbox on Facebook.
And then you said, look at this asshole, basically.
You're like, look at this schmo.
And Joby said, that's my dad.
That's my dad, dick.
And I was like, I felt so bad.
It was a pretty stupid picture.
No, it's hilarious.
No, it's very funny.
It's still his Facebook picture.
He hasn't changed it.
This cover's pretty fucking terrible.
He always posts stuff about dog rescues,
like, rescue this dog, or these dogs need adoption.
It's always dog shit.
It's always depressing.
But he posted this really funny one that was, so it's a dog at the table, but he has a hooded sweatshirt on.
Okay.
But the arms are someone's, a human's arms.
Okay.
And then there's a plate with food, and he's putting it in the dog's mouth, so it looks like the dog's eating.
I like that.
But the dog's a person.
I like that.
It's pretty funny.
There's something like that on Sesame Street, where they have
dogs, but with...
You're talking about the chef, the Swedish chef?
It's real person's arms?
No. Did you ever notice that? No, to my dogs.
Oh, you were talking about dogs?
I'm creepy with dogs.
I like a good animal video.
Yeah. Mike really likes

Paul F. Tompkins
posted on Facebook the other day
he said something like
I love all the adorable child and animal videos
but the regional accents of the people
behind the camera disgust me
it's true
this artwork by the way since we like it so much but the regional accents of the people behind the camera disgust me. It's true.
This artwork, by the way, since we like it so much,
which is a cover art by Thorn Eater.
Thorn Eater.
That's who did this.
This is on Hell Tapes.
Is that what it is?
Hell Audio.

This is all in all a very nice presentation. Did you ring her on
your phone? You know, my phone battery is like

Are you fucking kidding me? It just constantly drains.
What am I at now, like 20%? I will kill you
if we miss this pizza guy. We're not gonna miss
the pizza, Joe. I will literally slap you.
This is all black and white.
What was John Pyle doing there?
I had John Pyle, you know that beheading video that just happened?
No, I don't.
No, I know what it is, but I haven't watched it.
I'm sure you've watched it a couple times.
No, no, I haven't watched it, and I didn't want to watch it,
but I had a lot of questions about it.
So I had John Pyle watch it for me,
and then I just asked him questions about it.
Because I figured he...
I asked Dave first, and Dave said no.
So I asked John Pyle, and John Pyle was like,
hell yeah, I'll watch that shit.
No, he was kind of reluctant, but he watched it,
and he said something like,
it's not that bad if you don't have the audio on,
or something like that.
Man.
But, you know, I want to know what they used,
and how long it took.
Why? I was just curious, but I didn't want to watch it
this is nature man
we're all just animals
on this big spin of marble Dave
some of us get our heads cut off
I don't want to be a person whose relative gets his head cut off
and then everybody just talks about
that person getting their head cut off
Dave's getting serious
Dave, do you honestly think their relatives are listening to this podcast? hold on everybody just talks about that person getting their head cut off. Dave's getting serious. Dave's getting real serious.
Dave, do you honestly think their relatives are listening to this podcast? Hold on, hold on.
Wait, someone got their head cut off?
No, no, that's not what I'm saying.
I'm changing the subject to...
No, I'm with you.
That's what I'm doing.
I'm saying then we make a fart joke.
Okay, all right, all right.
So that bounces out, then all of a sudden the...
What's chi chi that's like
when you rearrange the room in a right way like the couch is one way and the yeah all right so
make a beheading joke and then we'll rearrange you make a joke about someone being beheaded
you just gotta rearrange the whole entire tv has to be pointed north. Then, and then, it's like it never happened.
It's like it never happened.
And then if you get it just right, the head pops back right back on.
All right, Matt and Nita, explore a cassette.
I want to make a goof feng shui book where it's like, you know,
face the couch east and then face the TV west.
Or face it east also so that way when you sit down,
the TV is facing the wrong way.
I would like it to be something where it says, like,
face the TV east and then four lines later it says,
face the television west.
I'm like, wait a minute.
What?
Honey.
Honey.
Do we have a TV or a television?
A TV or a television?
Never mind. Matt and N a television. Never mind.

He should still be alive.
Dave, what do you got?
I'm going to play a tape I put out.
That's okay with you guys.
Wait a minute.
Now, if I did that, we'd make fun of you.
Yep.
Now, what are we going to do?
Joe, come here.
What are we going to do now that Dave's doing it?
I'm going to allow it.
All right, go ahead.
I'm going to play this tape.

That's over the line.
That's off the... Yeah, that's over the line.
I'm making notes.
No, I just...
I wish you had a sound effect of me throwing a bunch of tapes in the trash can.
Because I can't play all these.
Of you?
Yeah.
All right, Dave.
What tape are you going to play that you put out?
Hidden Persuaders.
A little self-promotion here.
Yeah.
Hidden Persuaders.
Is that from the new batch?
New batch.
From the new batch on 2AM Tapes.
Oh, they look really good, too.
Yeah.
I like this one.
Yeah, I listen to this one.
This one's really good.
This is my favorite from the batch.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
You don't like yours the best?
I like this one the best.
I like this one, then my side of my split,
and then the other one, and then that's it.
No, it's...
Good one.
You also put out a Parishi tape and a split with Weather...
And Sugar Arm.
Sugar Arm.
Matt Sugarman.
No, his shit's really tight on that.
All the artwork's really good this time, too, Dave.
You did a good job.
Pat yourself on the back.
I'll pat myself on the back a little bit.
Rub my feet.
Thank you.
Yeah.
You did a good job.
Get under my big toe.
Never.
Get that later.
So,
we're going to do,
maybe a cut or two.
I don't know.
Maybe one's too cut.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Oh,
maybe we'll just play the whole thing
and then we'll just go over
and do a discussion
on how you order it.
Tell me what's going on.
For those who don't know, 2AM Tapes,
your relaunch. Dave,
in 2014, you decided to relaunch
2AM Tapes.
And as you did,
you came back with a brand new aesthetic.
An aesthetic?
Tell us about that.
Doodles.
You've been doing a lot of doodles.
You doodle little machines and stuff.
This one isn't so much machines, though.
There's some googly hands at the bottom, some light bulbs hanging around.
What's going on here with this one?
You know my favorite thing about 2AM tapes?
What?
Is when Dave describes what the machines are doing.
I like when he talks about it.
Tell me what this one's doing.
Well, there's a pizza machine.
A pizza machine.
I already like it.
In the background.
It reminds me that pizza's coming.
Oh, I see them.
Wait, I want to see now.
See how they go from
like this knot circle shape
and then it makes the circles?
Oh, those are the slices
that come out of the machine.
Okay.
No, those are a bunch of pizzas. They're like a bunch of... It's like gears, but it's slices coming out of the machine. Okay. No, those are a bunch of pizzas.
They're like a bunch of...
It's like gears,
but it's pizza gears.
Okay.
And there's a bunch of lights on
keeping the pizzas warm.
Oh, like a high wattage bulb?
Yeah.
Okay.
And that keeps the pizzas going,
but there's these hand monsters
and they don't like
when the lights are on,
so they're trying to turn them off.
Is it Freddy Krueger?
Huh?
Is it Freddy Krueger? It? Is it Freddy Krueger?
No, no. It's just some hand monsters. That's like his sweater.
They're reaching up there, like, turning the lights off.
Trying to turn them off. And also, on every
2AM tapes on the new one,
there's your clock logo on the back.
You put a little memento,
a little ornament on there. A little personalized ornament.
And what's this one? It's a candle. Yeah. What's that represent?
Andreas Brandl seems like
a candle kind of guy. Okay. What's the name of his label? Twilight a candle. Yeah. What's that represent? Andres Brandl seems like a candle kind of guy. Okay.

Disgusting.
I like it.
I like it.
Keep doing it.
Oh, Joe's rubbing.
Everybody rub your mustache on the mic.
Mike, yours isn't making any noise.
Mike's not going to be able to do it.

All right.

No, he's about to throw a Molotov cocktail.
One of their new breakdance moves.
He's like an anarchist.

He's about to...
Why is one leg up?
Because he's leading back.
He's like, here I go!

trying to hit. Well, he'll get it.

But that like,
Google like,
tracking your
Every Move website
where you can,
oh, you'll have to look at it.
Like if you have your,
oh wait,
you don't have like an Android phone so it might not work for you. You don't have an Android phone,
so it might not work for you.
But if you have a Gmail account, it might.
It tracks everywhere you go.
You can just look day by day.
It'll show you everywhere, like a map
with a little red line everywhere you went.
You can hit a play button and it'll show you.
That's fucked up.
I think it's awesome. It didn't work for me.
Because you don't go anywhere.
No.
Trust me, my friend. I'm going places. It didn't work for me. Because you don't go anywhere. No. Trust me, my friend.
I'm going places.
You don't even know.
I think I turned the GPS off on my phone.
Like location services or whatever?
I don't know.
I don't know.
But something.
It worked like for a week, like six months ago for some reason.
So I must have turned something on.
Liz bought him a phone so he would stop begging for it.
Yeah, it's actually a bar of soap.
In the box and it's got the numbers on it.
Mike, come to dinner.
I'm tweeting.
He's just smacking it.
I'm tweeting.
Ivory.

I think our pizza's making it warmer in here.
It is definitely, yeah.
Lake Paradise.
Is that the name of the label?
Yeah, I believe so.
JB, if you're not going to eat your crust, you can give it to me.
I don't want you to throw it out.
Yeah, don't throw it out.
That's wasteful.
Sorry, I don't like it.
What do you want me to do?
I don't know.
Eat it?
Give it to me.
I don't want to eat it.
Give it to Dave.
This is recorded Chicago 2013.
Chicago?
Chicago.
That's a good city, too.
Who's the other dude? I know you know Daniel Higgs. We know who Daniel Higgs is. That's a good city, too. Who was the other dude?
I know, you know, Daniel Higgs.
We know who Daniel Higgs is.
We know who Daniel Higgs is.
Lungfish.
Lungfish?
Ludafisk.
Ludafish.
Good experiences in Chicago.
Oh, yeah?
I've never been to Chicago.
Been to Chicago a handful of times.
Michael Zareng is like a percussionist.
Okay.
He's been around a long time.
From where?
I believe Chicago.
Chicago?
It's a good city, too.
It's good.
I like Chicago. I grew It's a good city, too. I like Chicago.
I grew up loving the Bulls.
You did like the Bulls, huh?
I love the Bulls.
That was a dream team.
Well, actually, Joe,
the dream team was the...
I know what the dream team is.
Okay.
But there were two members
of the Bulls.
Do you have any, like,
basketball din...
I don't follow basketball.
Okay.
Basketball dynasties now
that are like the Bulls then.
Oh, I don't know anything about basketball now.
Yeah.
Like they mentioned, I guess like the new Olympic team or whatever is getting together
or not.
You know, I took a look at the names.
I didn't recognize the names.
No.
Jerry Rice.
There's a lot.
Jerry Rice was on it.
There's a lot of also teams that you see.
Joe Montana.
Joe Montana.
And like they're in totally different cities and their uniforms are different.
And it's just like...
Oh, like they move cities?
Yeah.
That happens?
That happens all the time.
They move cities?
You think the Jazz started in Utah?
They're not going to call it the Utah Jazz.
They're like, let's say Utah.
What happens in Utah?
No, that makes sense.
Jazz.
Because the 87ers were...
The Delaware's team.
Delaware's 76ers farm team was from somewhere else.
But they changed the name.
They changed the name.
They don't always change the name.
Like the Hornets used to be from Charlotte,
but now I think they're like New Orleans.
I just can't get behind it.
Sometimes they change the team name too.
Like the mascot or the brand.
That's what I was saying.
Because the 87ers were bought from somewhere else. Yeah. But they changed the name name too like the mascot or the trade joe was just a brand that's what i was saying because the 87ers weren't were bought from somewhere else yeah but they changed the name to 87ers because of delaware so what team like the bullets right like the bullets are we talking
about this used to be the bullets now they're the wizards or something oh yeah that's right
washington bullets the washington bullets i think that's a horrible name yeah yeah especially in
like dc right yeah um Are we talking about this?
Because Daniel Higgs, he was a character you could
unlock in NBA Jam, right?
He wasn't? No, I don't think he was.
Big head mode. I don't think so.
I like big head mode.
I wish they had big head mode for every game.
Alright. Daniel Higgs. I think they do,
Mike. Higgs Zerang. I think that was the first
and then every one after that you could do it.
Every game now is just... What side did I give you?
A or B side? You didn't give me anything.
I gave you something a while ago and I said rewind this.
Oh, and I rewound it. The A side. Okay, let's do that.
It's good tape. All around
good tape. Think you can still get this?
Higgs or Rang?
I like Tiny Heads.
Tiny Head? Is there a Tiny Head mode?
I don't know. I hope so. Like a Beetlejuice? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Come on. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We'll be right back. recording. Live. Some banji. Improvised. Yeah, it was good. I guess.
I believe that's improvised.
I'd sit on the front porch and listen to that.
Yeah, it's good. Why not? You ever seen Dan Higgs play?
Don't bring that up. I've tried to
a few times. I think we've talked about this before.
I've never
had any problems.
Right there. I've had a couple.
A couple of
misconnections.
It happens to the best of us.
If I ever go to see Dan Higgs again
and he doesn't show up,
I'm going to put someone on Craigslist.
Like about you.
With a big beard and tattoos
and you're supposed to play a show
and me, I was the guy who was there
waiting to see you.
You didn't play, but I feel like you wanted to.
Go book a tour and don't show up.
Give me an email if you ever want to do it.
You turkey.
All right, Dave, what do you got?
Turkey jerky.
Turkey jerky.
You ever eaten turkey jerky?
No.
Me neither.
Is that like a supermarket?
Like, check out meat.
Turkey jerky?
Yeah.
Like a Slim Jim?
Yeah, it's like a Slim Jim.
It's like Season's Buffalo Bites.
Okay. Never had those either's Buffalo Bites. Okay.
Never had those either.
No, they're disgusting.
Is it chicken?
Buffalo Chicken Bites?
I guess.
I had them a long time ago,
and they're just like wrinkled up meat.
Wrinkled up chicken meat.
I like how you do that answer.
And for years they were selling it as wrinkled up meat.
And someone was like, just call it buffalo bites.
We need a name with a zing.
It's like, it basically,
it's like, I'd imagine they took a bunch of chicken jerky
and like reconstituted it in like water
and that's what it was.
Dan Higgs reconstituted nutty meat.
And it's like a picture of him with a chef's hat on,
smiling and holding it.
Comes mandarin orange.
But it's spicy, so there's smoke coming out of his ears.
Yeah.
Mandarin orange, spicy and tangy.
A little devil's tail comes up behind it.
And five o'clock shadow.
Those are the three flavors.
All right, go easy on him.
Don't push him into retirement.
Okay, you go then.
You think you're so good at doing a podcast tape?
Why don't you talk, man?
I'm going to do this tape
by this project, Form.
Are you? Form up.
Like you're filling out a form?
No, just form.
Maybe it's like a form.
Like a shape.
Or maybe it's like a form that you fill out.
Or maybe it's from and he misspelled it.
Or he's a dummy.
I think it's a dummy and this is from.
Tape's called trips.
I did it wrong again.
So it could be like he tripped on something.
Psychedelic trips.
It could be like he...
Yeah, psychedelic trip.
It could...
Yeah, he took an airplane somewhere.
Or it could be traps and he spelled it wrong.
Yeah, exactly. an airplane somewhere. Or it could be traps, and he spelled it wrong. Yeah, exactly.
Dummy tape.
I bet it's blank.
I bet it just erases all the tapes around it.
Whoops!
Don't all tapes do that if you put them too close to each other?
Yeah, if you rub them together.
That's a pro tip for everybody.
That's how you make a remix.
Yeah.
I'm going to play the second track on this tape
called Beezin
B-E-E-Z-I-N
which could be like
you know he's
a beekeeper
playing with his bees
it could be
busy but he spelled it wrong
God what a dummy
should we even play this? I don't know I don't like
playing taste by dummies dumb came out on adhesive sound adhesive sound yeah
thank you I always forget what it's called because it doesn't it only says a
slash s I always forget so it could be has really been enjoying this label by
the way yeah everything that I've heard. This tape is bonkers.
Bonkers?
Am I playing the A side or the B side?
We're going to play
the screw side, the A side.
Second track.
Bees in.
Bees nuts.
Bees in the trap.
What song?
What song?
Bees in the trap. That's a song?
How's it go?
Bees in the trap.
Remember in elementary school when people
would be like, you like CDs?
Yeah, I like CDs. CDs, balls in your jaws.
No, I never heard that before.
I never actually heard that one either.
It was just CDs nuts.
It must be a regional thing.
I went to Balts.
You went to a school that had balls in the name?
Balts.
Yeah, but it sounds like balls.
It's like balls, but they spelled it wrong.
One time this guy asked me,
someone I worked with,
if I wanted to do sidewalk picking tulips.
And then finally I was like,
let's go to the bakery.
Good job, Dave. What were you like, Joe? I said, what tulips. And then finally I was like... I said, what tulips?
And he said, your tulips on my dick.
He said, there's tulips in this garden.
And you were like, alright.
So he got me. He laughed a lot.
He did.
Like one of those?
He thought it was really funny.
He's sleeping right now somewhere thinking about it.
Because I was the only person he ever got with that.
Oh, yeah, because everyone else already knew it.
Everyone else was like, get the fuck out of here.
Yeah.
All right, let's play something for this dummy.
What tulips?
This dummy from his tape Trap on Ahasif Sounds.
Here's his track two called Busy.
Busy as a bee. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. purple rain goans form princess of beast Purple rain.
Goans.
Form.
Prince is a beast.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
We've probably talked about this before, though, haven't we?
Prince is a beast.
Super Bowl?
Super Bowl when he played Purple Rain in the rain
with that crazy fucking purple guitar that looked like a...
The time when he blew my mind
was when that George Harrison tribute thing that happened
and they were playing My Guitar Gently Weeps.
Everyone's up there.
Clapton's up there.
Tom Petty's up there.
That's everyone.
And then all of a sudden the solo comes
and Prince comes out of nowhere.
He just appears.
He slowly fades in.
Fucking destroys it. And everyone's staring at him. and Prince comes out of nowhere. He just appears. He slowly fades in.
Fucking destroys it.
And everyone's like staring at him.
Like everyone, even like Tom Petty,
everyone's like staring at him like,
what the fuck was that?
Tom Petty's like, man, I know about running down the drain,
but goddamn Prince.
Running down the drain?
If you could get a custom made guitar shaped like anything you want,
what would you get?
A shower drain.
Like, wait. Just a wait just a series of pipes yeah with the trap how would you hold it oh you know like regular what
would you get oh that's i don't know you do you and i get a martini glass like upside down
that's pretty awesome so like the glass top is like... Oh, I get it. Yeah.
And there's a...
I can see it.
All the knobs are olives.
Right?
I jammed the shit out.
I learned how to play guitar.
See, this is a bit...
You already were like,
thought about this.
Two weeks ago, you're like...
God, I'm going to bring
a print or something.
Someday this will come up.
I stored it up there
in the brain.
I don't know
Christmas tree would be good
a lady's leg
a lady's leg is pretty
that's classy
because I want to show that I'm a man of class
you know what I changed it
I want a noodle
like a floppy noodle
a floppy one
a floppy noodle guitar
never stays in tune.
Yeah, but you can bend notes.
Oh, yeah.
Real crazy.
All right.
I'm changing mine, too.
I want the floppy noodle.
I want the floppy noodle, too.
Who do we get to make us floppy noodle guitars?
I might want a chicken wing.
A chicken wing would be pretty good.
I want one that's like a grilled cheese, but it's being pulled apart.
Oh, that'd be good.
Yeah, that'd be good.
No, that would be... What's that instrument called? An accordion. An accordion. That'd be a good accordion. That's like a grilled cheese, but it's being pulled apart. Oh, that'd be good. Yeah, that'd be good. No, that would be...
What's that instrument called?
An accordion.
An accordion.
That'd be a good accordion.
That's like a grilled cheese.
The body would be one piece of bread, and then the headstock would be another, and it would
just be stretchy cheese all in the middle.
All right.
Yeah, I'm into that.
And when you...
All of your petals can be like dipping sauces.
Like a barbecue sauce that you stop on and stuff.
Tomato soup.
You stand electro petals?
Yeah.
Barbecue sauce. Yes. You would just use those. Tomato soup. Is that an electro pedal? Yeah. Barbecue sauce.
You would just use those.
Tomato soup delay.
But I digress.
Oh, that was good.
Form.
Form.
Trip.
I'm glad we talked about that.
I'm glad we hammered that out.
A hammer would be good.
One time I mentioned to someone
I was like, I want to make a record
that's shaped like a hammer
and they said, happy, huge record
and then their head fell off
Alright, I'm going to play a tape
that came out on Hornbuckle
Hornbuckle
label, where are they from? Are they from the UK?
Not sure now
UK, huh?
They're from somewhere else
They're from these parts. They ain't from around
here. They ain't from these parts. They put
out that Bit Shifter tape. Remember we played that
a few episodes back? Oh, yeah. That tape's awesome.
We played some other stuff by them. We played
what was it? Kisses?
Kisses. Oh, no, no. Planets?
No, Kisses, and then
the tape was called Planets. Yeah. Or it was
Planets, and the tape was called Kisses. No, I think it was
Kisses. Yeah. I don't know. Kiss. Plants. Yeah. Or it was Planets, and the tape was called Kisses. No, I think it was Kisses. Yeah.
I don't know.
Kiss.
It was Plants.
Kiss.
Plants.
Gene Simmons.
This tape by Grandma Lo-Fi.
You wrote something about this, right?
Sure, I'm touched.
I hope when Gene... That you would know that.
I read your clippings?
Not that you read it,
that you would even know.
Wouldn't it be funny
if Gene Simmons came out
with a brand that got his cheese when he was like 70?
Simmons cottage cheese.
Why would he do that?
Why would he do that?
Just picture his face on like a thing of cottage cheese.
Have you ever listened to that Terry Gross interview with him?
No.
When it went south?
No.
Neither have I.
She talks about it sometimes.
Oh, yeah?
Evidently it was bad.
Well, I can believe that.
You started talking dirty?
I don't know about dirty,
but it didn't go good.
I'm sure it's on YouTube.
Everything is.
They wouldn't let him
plug his cottage cheese.
She said, no.
Fill the martini glass
with cottage cheese.
I don't like cottage cheese.
We all know, Joe.
Put his thoughts a little bit.
Anyway, Grandma Lo-
It's white.
It's white.
Grandma Lo-Fi.
The basement tapes of
Sigurður
Norsdóttir.
A woman from
Iceland. Now, the story
sounds fake, so stay with me.
It's called Lick It Up.
At the age...
That's why he owns
a cottage cheese company. It's called Lick It Up.
Does he make yogurts too
or just cottage cheese? No, cottage cheese.
Just cottage cheese, huh? Yeah. Yogurt's too smooth.
Whole milk?
Peter Criss did the yogurt. Okay.
You figure he'd do like chips.
Grandma Lo-Fi.
This woman who, when she was like 70 or something like that,
she was an old gal,
started recording music at an impressive rate.
Within a few years, had hundreds and hundreds of songs.
And I guess some people found out about her.
There's like 20 people in Iceland,
so one of the other people found out about her.
Probably the mayor.
He's also like the milkman
or something. Maybe the cottage
cheese man.
And it became a sensation.
They made a documentary about her a few years
ago. And Hornbuckle
put out this sort of like a soundtrack.
You know, it's got like
20-some tracks on it out of her
vast catalog.
And it's just this lady just playing around with Casios
and xylophones and toys and singing.
Maybe some stringed instruments in there.
Yeah, and it's a good time.
I like good times.
I like having a good time.
Look at her in there.
Everybody's definition of a good time is a little different.
When it comes down to it.
Well, she's psyched.
Yeah. It's kind of like an time is a little different. Yeah, when it comes down to it. Well, she's psyched. Yeah.
Yeah.
A sweet, like, it's kind of like an orange on orange shell here.
Orange on orange.
Yeah, it looks pretty nice.
It's like a dark orange.
Yeah, we'll call that brown.
It's like a burnt sienna on tangerine.
And play the first few, you know, maybe a couple,
I think the first two tracks are somewhat short.
So play both of those.
How many?
The first what?
There it is.
Thanks, Joe. Grandma Lo-Fi.
The basement tapes of
Sagrordor Noistodor
on Hornbuckle.
Somewhat new. Here it is.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Oh yeah. Thank you. Hallelujah, hallelujah, good, yeah, thank God,
for you again have been here with me.
In the way of the angel, everything is made by you. Thank you for all your great love. Hallelujah, hallelujah, oh, I am so glad.
God has heard my prayer, which I have longed for. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Thank you. so Thank you. Grandma Lo-Fi.
Mm, crushing it.
Yo, what if you found out that your grandma,
like, she didn't tell you?
My grandma's dead.
You found out that, Jesus Christ, Mike. Well, she is. What she didn't tell you? My grandma's dead. You found out that, Jesus Christ, Mike.
Well, she is.
What?
She is.
What?
My grandma's dead.
Oh, Jesus, Mike.
I know, right?
It's topical, though, because she...
My grandfather had an organ.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
I wonder if he ever decided and played it, you know?
Like in his body?
No.
Yes, he had organs.
Like an organ.
I know what you meant. Like a church organ. You were making it funny. Oh, he had organs. Like an organ. I know what you meant.
Like a church organ.
You were making it funny.
Oh, you know.
I had that one planned out for weeks, too.
Like a church organ.
He never played it?
You never saw him play it?
Well, I never saw him play it.
I just wondered, did he play it?
Did he record it?
Your one regret is not asking him?
Well, he was like my step-grandfather.
Yeah.
Well, not even, right?
Not even.
Yeah.
On paper.
Yeah.
So he's like nothing to you? He's like the mailman like the mailman to me well you were nothing to him my mailman was my neighborhood though he's
more to me than that old back about oh yeah he's the crazy religious guy who gives out like bible
verses on halloween right mr doug is pretty cool dude he does give those out though what he gives
out little bible pamphlets. Little Bible pamphlets?
Yeah, like a whole Bible and a pamphlet. With your candy.
It's like, you know, those little comics.
Those weird little flipbook things that are weird little religious comics.
You don't know what I'm talking about?
No, I know what you're talking about.
Oh, you do know what I'm talking about.
Okay.
They have each one's a subject.
I don't know.

It's the old English. Yeah. That's 7-inch. It's got that, you know.

We're going to go right in.
I think it looks pretty good.
I'm dying to know the font that they wrote Analog Arsonist in.
It's Wing Doodle.
No, it's like Wacky Time. It's just doodle. No, it's like wacky time.
It's just that noise is the name of it.
It's a good red shell, though.

Some Norse, like, yeah, the end.

Like Revelations.
Okay.
But different, right?
Yeah.
Because there's nothing like,
it's nothing, you know, like,
supernatural about it.
There's nothing supernatural about it?
It's just everyone about Norse mythology?
Everyone goes nuts.
Is that what this is? Ragnarok?
Never mind. I'm out.
I don't know what it means.
I got nothing.
Let's ask Jeeves.
Ask Jeeves.
You be Jeeves.
Hello.
Hello, computer.
Dave, what do you got?
Caught me off guard.
You always catch me off guard.
What seems to be the problem, Dave?
Did you watch that John Benjamin thing where he's just reading the computer's lines from 2001?
No.
That's pretty good.
That sounds pretty good, though.
I'll watch that.
It's like 2001.
He's watching it, and he's just reading, what seems to be the problem, Dave?
Like, it's Bob's worker voice.
He just reads all Hal's lines.
I like that.
You going to give that the Tabs Out shout out?
Yeah, that's the Tabs Out shout out.
Is there a thing?
That's this week's, Dave, that's this week's.
Tabs Out shout out.
Wait, wait for him to.
All right, it can be that noise.
That's fine.
And that's this week's Tabs Out.
Shout out.
John Benjamin.
Shout out.
I like the gurgle at the end.
Yeah, it's good.
John Benjamin, 2001.
Just search that.
Okay, I know how to do that.
What do you got?
I'm going to play this Yankee Yankee tape.
I feel like we went around in a few circles there.
Nah, one or two.
One or two tops. Traffic circles.
It's called
segments. Wait, what's it called? Yankee Yankee?
Yankee Yankee.
I wish it was
Yankee Yankee Doodle Doodle.
Oh, that kind of Yankee.
Let me see it. Because the cover looks really nice.
Wow, what do you think? Yan of Yankee. Let me see it. Because the cover looks really nice. Wow. What do you think?

Oh, is that a USSR?
Yes.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Unit Structure Sound Recordings.
Yeah.
Okay.
Not the Ruskies.
I wonder what came first.
Panko.
What?
They came up with the acronym first.
That's a good question. Or they came up with the name and said, Oh, shit, that's USSR. I think they came first. Panko. What? They came up with the acronym first. That's a good question.
Or they came up with the name and said, oh shit, that's USSR.
I think they came up with USSR and they worked around that.
What do you think?
They came up with the name and I was like, you know what the initials are?
I want a drum set shaped like ham sandwiches.
Okay.
And you use forks to play them?
Butter knives.
No, you know what?
They should be like...
Toothpicks.
If they were grilled cheese sandwiches
and you had spatulas
and every once in a while you could flip them
and keep playing.
All right, hand me that tape.
Did you take the cover out?
I want to see that too.
This does look really nice.
And who is Yankee Yankee?
Don't know
Google it dummy
Some of the letters have the long lines coming off of them
Looks really nice
The A and the K
What's in the middle of the X?
Look at the score
Look at the score on the folds
I knew you'd like that
You knew right away Was it going to have multiple lines in the score on the folds on this one. I knew you'd like that. You knew right away.
Was it going to have multiple lines in it?
No, it's just hard.
Hard score?
Yeah, this is hard score.
Thick stock, hard score.
This tape, Yankee, thick stock, hard score.
USSR tapes, only the best.
This Yankee Yankee tape gets our tabs out hard score of the month.
This is a nice one.
All right, so you want to play something off this tape, Dave,
is that what we're doing?
Look at him get his mitts on that thing.
I love it.
These guys are, or maybe it's just one person,
from Calgary, Alberta.

I believe with two other tapes that we got.
Joe, you just had one, didn't you?
That roadside picnic.
Was it a split with somebody?
I saw it on the table earlier.
I don't know.
I put them all away.
USSR.
I'm getting the pizza sweats.
You're going to get the pizza sweats.
There it is.
That's almost too cold.
We could have had this comfort the whole time.
Is it oscillating now?
Yeah, keep it doing that.
Does that feel good?
Yeah.
It's good.
It's blowing all around.
I like the sound of that.
Are you boys ready to end up the show?
Let's do it.
Call it a night?
Yes, please.
All righty.
Episode number 52.
Thanks to...
Who did the intro?
Tim Thornton.
Tiger Village.
Tiger Village.
Suite 309.
Tapes.
Records.
I believe his name is Label.
Label.
Label.
He's got a ladle.
He's got a huge ladle and he spoons tasty jams into your cassette deck.
I think the logo for that label is like the Comedy Central logo reappropriated.
Oh, really?
No, but it looks like it, so that's like a funny joke to make.
I like that kind of stuff.
They get up cottage cheese.
Get some.
That was a good Gene Simmons.
Do it again.
Was it?
Do it again.
They get up cottage cheese.
Get some.
Say, now available in plain.
Now available in plain pineapple and bubble gum.
Available in plain pineapple.
It's plain pineapple.
Because it used to be available in spiced pineapple,
and it got discontinued because people were getting the pizza sweats,
and now it's just available in plain pineapple.
All right.
I'm going to take us out with...
Fruit on the bottom.
Do they make cottage cheese... Fruit on the bottom.
Do they make cottage cheese with fruit on the bottom?
Oh, probably.
Do you eat... I don't know what you eat cottage cheese with.
Like by itself?
You can eat it with fruit.
So fruit on the bottom.
You can put raisins in it.
You can put raisins in cottage cheese.
But then they get all like big and pumped up.
They reconstitute?
No.
Yeah.
They just turn into grapes.
Just all of a sudden
You have grapes?
You know what my
One daughter
Used to tear up
Was cottage cheese
Peanut butter
And mango
All together?
Like in three rows
Oh okay
And you go across
What's
How do you start it?
It's cottage cheese
Then peanut butter
Then mango
You start the cottage cheese
And you go down
So it's like
I don't like that
I can't eat mangoes
Why?
Because I'm allergic,
like, slightly allergic to them.
A lot of people are.
Do you eat peanut butter?
Yeah.
I was going to say.
It just makes my mouth
feel really weird.
Your mouth feel really weird?
That's kind of how I talk
after I eat a mango.
My tongue swells a little bit.
Let's go take a...
I like them, though.
Let's go downstairs.
Will you eat one right now?
No, because I don't want
to feel weird on the way home.
Will you take the tabs out challenge?
Eat a mango. Do you accept? All right. Well, let's go out here with a new one. I don't want to feel weird on the way home. Will you take the tabs out challenge? Eat a mango.
Do you accept?
All right.
Well, let's go out here with a new one.
I don't even know if it's out yet.
It's a tape by Charlatan.
Project done by Brad Rose.
Bradley Rose.
Came out on Umarex.
I believe it is...
He just put out an LP on Umarex called...
Oh, that sounds serious.
What is it called?
It's very important.
Called Local Agent.
And I believe this tape is only available if you order the LP.
But how do you got it?
They sent it to us.
The tape's called Dead Drop.
It's eight tracks recorded at the same time.
I don't get it.
Why that?
Sounds like somebody falling down.
Okay.
Eight tracks.
Trying to get all the mileage I can out of these things.
Okay.
I like it.
I just paid a lot of money for them.
I have to say, Dave, I was hoping for a new one.
I was thinking the same thing, Joe.
You know, it's been a little while.
I thought maybe.
It's been a while.
See, that's what I'm talking about.
It comes up a lot more than you think.
Actually, I had one that I sent him, and he acted like he never got it.
What up?
I don't know if we're allowed to claim it.
Hold on.
Let me see if I can pull this over.
On our taxes?
On our taxes.
I've got a guy.
You've got a guy who can handle this for us?
Yeah.
What are you doing now?
I'm pulling up a sound clip that I sent him.
I don't know if as a podcast that makes jokes,
if we can reference another podcast joke.
Oh, that's a podcast.
I'm talking about it's been a while.
Yeah, it's a podcast joke, though.
Oh, it is?
Yeah.
Hold on.
I want to play this comedy bang bang.
Every time they say it's been a while,
or every time they say it's been,
they do the bare naked lady.
It's been.
You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
We can't do it. I forgot about that. Mike Haley, stop with the microphone. I want to play this clip. It's been... You're right. You're right. We can't do it.
I forgot about that.
I want to play this clip.
I got to take the mic out to put on the...
I wanted Dave to play this every time
I made a joke.
And I went to get my own personal rim shot.
And he was like, no, I never got it.
Gmail must have been down that day.
I didn't like it.
Jesus.
He's got it. Gmail must have been down that day. He didn't like it. Jesus. What?
He's got it.
He's got it.
Bring me back.
Bring me back.
Am I there?
Yeah, you're there.
Whoa, that was weird.
What?
It got all weird in my cans.
Is that an industry term?
Turn me up in the cans.
All right.
I'm going to say that from now on.
All right.
Charlatan.
Damn, it's a little loud in my left can.
Dead Drop Cassette on Umarex.
Do you hear an echo in the cans?
I hear an echo in the cans.
This episode brought to you by Dan's Cans.
Dan's Cans.
Turn them up.
I don't even get that joke.
Those are really nice studio headphones.
Dan's Cans. Dan's Cans. Yeah are really nice studio headphones. Dance cans.
Dance cans?
Yeah, these are called cans.
Do you get it?
What are you doing?
I know what they're called, Joe.
Oh, you do?
Yeah.
See, the joke was...
Turn them up.
The bit here is...
You can't hear it.
You can't hear it.
What's that funny stuff you're...
I just want to play this tape.
What's that funny looking stuff you're smoking over there, Mike?
Knickknick. Knickknack.
Knickknack.
I still haven't tried Knickknack yet.
Gave me a headache when I tried it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are we...
Do you want to start a second podcast right now?
I've been saying that for a really long time.
Called What Are You Smoking Over There?
No, I just...
There's two other podcasts, Mike.
One is where we just play music.
Uh-huh.
But whatever we want, not just tapes.
Okay.
And the other one's where we just...
What if I just want to play tapes? I feel like we could just... This podcast is just for tapes. Why don't we just play music, but whatever we want, not just tapes. Okay. And the other one's where we just talk. What if I just want to play tapes?
I feel like we could just...
No, this podcast is just for tapes.
Why don't we just record...
Is that what we've been doing?
Yeah.
Yeah, why don't we just record tabs out, and then I'll bounce one down with all the music
muted, and then I'll do another one with just the music.
Just the music.
Okay.
And then we can also do that's all combined.
Just us talking.
But you have to put it together yourself on two different stereos.
Like that Boris record.
Now it's getting complicated.
I did that once.
I was there.
We did it.
Yeah, we did it by creak.
I think we played one in the basement, though, and one upstairs, and we stood on the steps.
It was pretty good.
I think the Flamin' Lips have one that's like four, right?
Yeah, never done that one.
No, I haven't done that yet.
