Hey, Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, goofballs.
Hey-o.
I thought you had some other music coming in after that.
You told me that it had some music at the end of it, so I didn't bother.
No, I said it was like, it wasn't just an intro.
It had some stuff.
Well, you know.
And then you picked a song, and then...
Shut up!
Who played that? Was that Dave or Joe?
That was Dave.

Episode number 70.
70.
Where did we land on last time when we said, if we're going to say our names?
Oh, we said yeah.
Not for the joke, but because you have a sound clip for when Joe says his name.
But if we landed on that.
Yeah, we say our names.
Like, you go. I think we should on that... Yeah, we say our names. You go.
I think every episode should begin with this
discussion if we're going to say our names
or not. And we never actually decide.
Yeah, because I listen to the
Dinner Party download on the way here, and
every time they say, Hi, I'm Rico
Galeano, and I'm... What's the Dinner Party
download? It's on NPR.
It's something his family does.
I actually kind of hate it, but I listen to it
every time on the way here. You do listen
to a lot of stuff you hate, because you hate Prairie Home
Companion, but you listen to it.
No, I listen to it. If it's on, I listen to it.
Because I want to get it.
Like, I don't understand when they're laughing, when he's
like, buttermilk business.
And everyone's like...
I was just talking today
about how you hate Prairie Room Companion
and how every time you talk about it, you do the same thing where you say...
And then they're like, buttermilk biscuits.
Aunt Betty's old-fashioned buttermilk biscuits.
And then everyone laughs, and I don't know why.
I don't get it, man.
Guy Noir, I don't get it.
I don't get it.
I never listen to it on the weekends.

It took me...
Well, see, I used to hate that, too.
I hated car talk.
You hated car talk?
Until I found that difficult to believe.
No, until I listened to it enough, and then I got it.
Then I'm like, okay, I get it now.
I'm confused how you didn't get it right away.
I hated it.
I'm shocked.

i got a tape here now this is a very special tape i think we're all gonna like it actually
joe i already sent you a picture of it it It's this tape by the artist Synth Bard.
On my phone?
And the tape is called Gold Box Renditions.
It's put up by FMRL.
It came out recently.
Now, let's pass this around.
Look at this.
I texted this to you.
Oh, you did text this to me.
The cover is, it's like a...
See, I didn't realize when you were texting this to me
that this isn't...
I thought this was like some sort of
D&D tape that you got at a thrift store.
No, no, no, no.
I didn't know this was somebody's... I don't like it as much now.
What? No, I love it.
Well, you know what? Let me tell you what's on it.
What is the name of the company?
Oh, you sent this to me, too.
You didn't respond, though.
Huh? You didn't respond. I was working or something. So, like, the company this to me, too. Yeah. You didn't respond, though. Huh? You didn't respond.
I was working or something.
So, like, the company that, like, makes, like, I don't know, some board game, but they also
make Advanced Dungeons and Dragons or something.
TSR.
I think it's SSI.
SSL.
Maybe they bought it from them.
Okay.
Or where else?
Put out, like, some sort of soundtrack of, like, you know, music.
I love that.
Called Gold Box.
And this is all covers of those songs.
Covers of the songs. Yeah.
From a
role playing game soundtrack. Yes.
That is how I
understand it to be. Alright.
All analog renditions of
SSI's classic AD&D
Gold Box release.
I'm excited. And there's a picture
on the band camp of like
an LP
that I believe is like that.
So that's the original album.
Oh, it originally came out on, on vanilla.
Yes.
And it's white vanilla.
So it's like vanilla, vanilla, vanilla, vanilla, vanilla.
Yeah.
Milli Vanilli.
Apparently all the proceeds go to a charity.
What charity is it?
Let me look this up.
SOS Children's Villages.
That's fake.
SOS Children's Villages.
So it's like a village of just children in trouble.
It's like an island.
They dump kids off at.
Like children in trouble because they're bad
or children in trouble because they're trying to escape danger?
Checks out.
It's a real thing.
Oh, yeah? Yeah. Did we have any doubts? Do we think danger? Checks out. It's a real thing. Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Did we have any doubts?
Do we think...
Oh, yeah.
I thought it was fake.
I would love to find out
that someone is donating money
to a fake charity
from the profits
of their cassette tape.
They're donating to a charity
of terrible children.
Children in trouble,
but they're children
that are stealing and stuff.
All right.
But I'm going to play two tracks.
I love the titles of the tracks, too.
It's so perfect.
I'm not going to pronounce any of this right,
but Curse of the Azorbons, Pool of Radiance,
Secret of the Silver Blades, Pool of Darkness,
Treasure of the Savage Frontier,
Gateway to the Savage Frontier.
It's so good. I'm going to play two tracks. Two, two, two. Treasure of the Savage Frontier. Gateway to the Savage Frontier.
It's so good.
I'm going to play two tracks.
Two, two, two.
There it is.
Secrets of the Silver Blades and Pools of Darkness.
Pools of Darkness, huh?
From Synth Bard.
Gold Box Renditions.
FMRL number 12. Thank you. Thank you. I'm not a fool Thank you. Thank you. so so Synth Bard.
Yeah, that was tight.
That was tight, wasn't it?
Starting off good.
Gold box renditions.
And the cover is just like,
Joby, you're into this kind of shit.
Describe those people.
What are they?
Well, we got some sort of bard in the front.
It's like the cover from
some sort of Dungeons & Dragons manual.
He's got his little horn, but he's also
got a knife, because he'll...
My knife!
And then you have a lady presenting
some sort of jewel.
You know, like...
What is she? What would you...
What kind of character is that?
I don't know. A mermaid. I think she's a thief.
A thief?
And then who's the...
I say it's a mermaid.
Oh, then you got a magician.
It's a land mermaid.
A wizard, but he's got a triceratops head.
It's a landmaid.
A landmaid?
It's just someone who's like...
Is that just a lady?
Well, no.
It's got a fish's head and lady's legs.
That's called a reverse mermaid.
Oh, is it a real thing?
Yeah. That's a real thing. It. That's called a reverse mermaid. Oh, is it a real thing? Yeah.
That's a real thing.
It should just be called a landmaid.
Wait, a fish's head and a lady's legs.
Lady's legs.
What's in the middle?
Or is it just the legs connect right to the head?
Yeah.
Okay, it's just the legs.
There's no torso at all.
The legs and then...
You've never seen a reverse mermaid?
I'll tell you, those legs don't quit.
I like how this tape comes with a Dungeons & Dragons character record sheet.
That's all stuff about the tapes.
The weapons are all like...
Oh, nice.
Oh, nice, nice.
What strength is it?
What strength is it?
10?
10.
That's pretty good.
Oh, that's good.
No, that's actually really low because it's got a 16 charisma.
Well, charisma goes from 11...
That's what Mike has.
I got a little bit higher than a 16 my
friend i'll tell you that he's got a 69
here we go All right. Shut it off.
Joe, your turn.
Dave, that's what a reverse mermaid looks like.
Let me see.
Okay, that's just what I pictured.
Yeah, exactly what you thought.
Let me see.
It's just legs.
Just legs.
It's just legs and a fish's head.
And a fish's head.
There's nothing in the middle.
Well, it's got the little flippers.
And it lives on land?
No, no.
That still lives underwater.
It still lives underwater.
I would think so.
My version lives on land.
But it has to smoke cigarettes.
A fish head with a human face.
So it's the whole fish head,
but there's a circle with just the human face in the middle of it.
I think that would be a person
dressed up as a landmaid.
That's what that sounds like.
Joby, what tape you got? I have
DJ DJ Tanner tape.
DJ DJ Tanner. Oh, very...
I love DJ DJ Tanner.
Very nice.
For the two DJs. Right, right.
The full house coming back? This is very
topical. It is. We play DJ coming back? This is very topical.
It is.
We play DJ DJ DJ.
This is a current event.
Yeah.
Warm Gospel number 38.
I think it's coming to Netflix or something like that.
It's called Fuller House.
With the same people?
I think so, yeah.
Well, no, no.
Well, the one girl died, right?
It's the oldest daughter.
That's the only person who's...
I feel like we've had this conversation before.
Or whatever.
What's the neighbor's name?
But isn't everyone...
Isn't Uncle Jesse there?
No, no, no. I don't think so.
Bob Saget's not there?
With Timmy Kibler's?
But the story is the same.
So the story in Full House is, what's the dad's name?
Ebenezer Nixon.
Danny Tanner, right?
Danny Tanner.
His wife died.
Right.
So he needs love.
His wife.
Raising his kids.
So his brother and the friend move in.
Yeah.
So now the oldest daughter, her sister has died.
Or whatever.
Her husband has died.
So she has Kimmy move in with her, her best friend.
And then help raise her kids.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Okay.
That's weird.

Just enough. I like that. Just the right amount.
But it's good. So if you're going to do it, email
Dave and he'll approve you.

that came out. I did a
Weather Charles Butterby
collaboration.
And what was the other tape? Was the Bob Bucko tape
in this? Not Bob Bucko.
Hey, they're Bob Bucko.
That's my favorite thing to say.
Whenever I'm looking through the tapes,
trying to pick something out, and I go past a Bob Bucko tape, I would say, hey, they're Bob Bucko. That's my favorite thing to say. Like, whenever I'm looking through the tapes trying to pick something out
and I go past a Bob Bucko tape, I would say, hey, they're Bob Bucko.

BB Junior.
BB Junior.
BB JR or something like that, right?
Something like that.
Yeah, Bob Bucko Junior.
If you're listening to this, you're on a device that can get on the internet.
So Google Timbal Tapes and figure it out.
No, I figured it out.
I'm not talking to you, Joe.
Oh, God, I would never speak to you with that kind of...
No, I'm not trying to upset you, big guy.
I saw one bead of sweat come down your forehead.
I got worried.
I got two modes.
Joe's either fine or really angry.
You know who does the artwork for all these tapes?
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
That's the
halk. The incredible halk.
You know who does the artwork for all these
tapes is Tiny Little Hammers, the Field Hymns
dude. Oh, okay. Same guy.
You know what I really like about it? It's his style artwork
but there's no color.
It's always silver on...
Well, there's color on some of them but it's always
just one color. That's what I mean. One color.
It's not in color. It's just one color. I like this paper
that it's on too. It's nice paper.
It's a synthetic paper or something because there's a weave.
It's toothy.
Or it's like a classic crest.
Not a classic crest.
Yeah, a classic crest, right a classic crust. A classic...
Yeah, a classic crust, right?
I don't know.
You were in the paper industry, not me.
That was a long time ago.
We ordered that pizza like a half hour ago, right?
How long does it usually take?
I don't think it's coming, Dave.
Oh, fuck.
Really?
I don't think it's coming, right?
No, it's Saturday night.
It might take a while.
Take a while.
But take a while?
That doesn't work.
Yeah, the execution on this label, packaging and everything.
Where's the tape itself?
Look at the tape.
I like the label on the tape.
That's my least favorite part.
And how, like...
Oh, yeah.
I like the white tape.
This is my least favorite part, too.
I didn't say it's my favorite.
Guys, it's my least favorite part, too.
But it's still a favorite. But it's still... I like it it's all right it's the bottom all right i get it
yeah so least favorites not that it's the worst thing about it but i still like it yeah
you don't hate it no i like it's just the last thing you like about it's the last thing i like Addition of 50. This is a Toronto-based musician named Jacob...

Apple Cinnamon Scented Febreze C60. Oh, it is Febreze. Let me smell the tape. Yeah, that's definitely Febreze. It's not Febreze. It's Febreze. F-E-B-R-I-S. Apple cinnamon scented Febreze C60.
Oh, it is Febreze.
Let me smell the tape.
Yeah, that's definitely Febreze.
Here we go.
Before we start, I just want to say, speaking of the way the tapes smell,
I had this one tape that came in the mailbag I was listening to today.
I had this one tape one time.
Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, I had this one tape,
and you're not going to believe what it smelled like.
I opened up the case.
I took out the tape.
What was that scent? Was it the J-Card?
I gave it away.
Alright. Sorry, Dave. Shut up!
I derailed him.
What happened?
I'll tell you guys while we're playing. What? Thank you. © transcriptF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. © transcript Emily Beynon Thank you. I am the only one who can do it now. Thank you. Thank you. guitar solo Thank you. Thank you. How is Babel formed?
How is Babel formed?
I don't get it.
How tape get duplicated?
Look it up, then you'll think that's funny.
If you don't think it's funny, look up the video,
and then you'll think it's funny. And if you've seen that clip funny. If you don't think it's funny, look up the video, and then you'll think it's funny.
And if you've seen that clip before,
and you still don't think it's funny,
then you, my friend, have no sense of humor.
You don't know what's funny.
You don't know what's funny.
All right.
That was awesome.
Timble tapes.
That's got nice...
Timble tapes.
Comes right off your lip holes.
Timble tapes. Your lip holes? Slides right off your lip holes. Timble tapes.
Your lip holes?
Slides right through your lip holes.
Timble tapes.
That comes right out of your lip holes.
I like when soup goes right through my lip holes.
No, no, no.
We're not doing...
We're not doing the soup guy, Dave.
You don't like shank?
We're better than that.
My friends call me soupy, but it's not because I like soup.
It's because I got Babe Ruth syndrome.
You got what?
I got a combination of Babe Ruth syndrome It's because I got Babe Ruth syndrome. You got what? I got a combination of Babe Ruth syndrome
and Pete Rose disease.
Babe Ruth syndrome.
My sweat glands are open like a convenience store.
24 hours a day.
24 hours a day.
I think the pizza...
Someone's calling.
All right, pause it.
It was crazy.
We're back.
Oh, we're back?
Pizza's here.
Pizza.
Pizza.
You guys get soup with that pizza.
Come on, man.
Enough with the soup, Kai.
Soupy, I don't like you.
Get out of here, kid.
I like a hearty soup.
You know what I hate?
I hate when you go to a restaurant, they make you take your coat off.
I don't like to take my jacket off.
Never?
Too soupy, I get embarrassed.
You're too soupy.
Is that why they call you soupy?
Too soupy.
Soupy scary. I got too soupy. Is that why they call you soupy? Too soupy. Soupy scary.
I got
Pete Rose disease. I sweat too much.
I think I have that. I think this
character renames every disease after
a baseball player because it's the
only way he can remember them, what they are.
Because it was too long of people talking about having
cancer. He's like, which one's that?
So he's like, listen, just, just call Von Hayes Syndrome.
All right, whose turn is it?
Is it my turn?
Yours.
Yes, it's all.
All right.
This is an interesting tape.
This took me, I listened to this one a few times.
In a row when I first got it.
It's very, it's peculiar.
I'll give you that much.
It's too scary.
What is that guy?
What is that balloon? I is that balloon in his head?
I gave Dave a weird balloon.
He put it over his little doll.
I like how the one part's covering his eye.
It snapped.
It was all covered up there, but it snapped.
I like that.

Third and fourth thoughts.
Cassette released on the label Truly Bald.
Like Billy Zane.
Truly Bald.
He is Truly Bald.
And this is my Truly Bald pick of the week.
It's Truly Bald number four.
Came out back in March.
Now,
let's look
through this cover real quick
the cover it's just you know a picture of a one way sign
right pointing to the right
now the first thing
and another one in the background pointing to the left
okay now I get it
it's funny now
so the first thing you'll notice is on the spine
where it says third and fourth thoughts
look on the bottom where like a label
logo might go
what's this a bootleg it's just black marker over top of something and forth thoughts. Look on the bottom where a label logo might go or a release number.
What's this, a bootleg?
It's just black marker over top of something.
Now open her up. Wait, but on the back
there's another spot
where something else is sharpied over
and it says bro joke in sharpie.
I think it says bad joke.
Oh, okay. It might be bad too.
Or maybe it's a bro joke.
How many bros does it take?
Joke!
Those are funny.
Yeah, I think it's a bad joke.
It kind of looks like BRO.
Now, open it up,
and there's something else in here.
There's another cover on the inside.
It's like
maybe an original idea
for the cover.
Yeah.
But there's something else scratched out with the sharpie
that says not true.
And then another one that's scratched out that says
UGG next to it. It looks like an email address.
Can you make it out what email address it's covering up?
No.
Okay.
Who did you say?
Jake Tobin.
That's what the email address is.
jaketobin at gmail dot com.
And he scratched that.
I guess someone else stole it.
I guess he assumed he could...
I don't think this is a Jake Tobin tape.
No?
What do you think it is?
Someone got a hold of it,
and they crossed all that stuff out,
and they're sending this to us as a goof.
This is a goof.
Wait a minute.
What do you mean it's a goof?
Joke! Oh, a joke. This is a goof. Wait a minute. What do you mean it's a goof? Joke!
Oh, a joke.
Someone took a Jake Tobin tape and then did all the stuff to it.
After the fact.
And then sent us that.
What?
Let me see the shell.
The shell says Jake Tobin.
Yeah, because they got a Jake Tobin tape, took it, wrote with Sharpie and scratched all the things out,
recorded new stuff on it
and sent us that.
No, because the label
has a band camp and stuff.
It's a real tape.
The tape is real.
There's material on there, Joe.
I'll play for you.
It's not blank.
I don't know what the thing is.
Did you listen to...
Son of a bitch.
Did you listen to... Scrape! Did you listen to... Son of a bitch. Did you listen to...
Scrape!
...to compare that tape to the band cape
to make sure they're the same release?
Yeah.
Yeah, you did.
Yeah.
Okay, good.
No, you didn't.
Yeah, I did.
Oh, you did.
Okay.
I don't think...
What are you talking about?
It's a goof.
Why...
You lost me.
You lost me.
I don't see what you don't understand.
I can only imagine that no one listening right now
understands what you're saying.
Ach mal, ach well. Exactly.
You might as well be speaking French right now.
Well, listen.
I like Truly Bald's
their little logo here. It's like
a little like a starburst.
I think I just like the name Truly Bald.
It's a good name. It is really good.
They have a release out. I was looking on their website, which their website is awful Bald It's a good name They have a release out
I was looking on their website
Their website is awful
It's so good
They have a tape called
I thought this was their website
These are my notes
They have a tape called
Best of Bob
They have a tape that's called
Best of Bob Seger
It's a Best of Bob Seger, and it says it's
a Best of Bob Seger tape compiled and
narrated by our friend Ben V,
who I think is Ben Varian,
who we played a tape on
Patient Sounds before, and Jake T.
They lead
us through the ups and downs and
in-betweens of rock and roll legend Bob Seger.
This is not a compilation of songs.
Wait, this is not a compilation of songs. Wait, this is not a compilation
of songs by
truly bald artists, it says.
You think that's a goof too?
Yeah, it's a Bob Seger.
That's the goof.
I don't understand what is going on
right now at all.
Here's what we're going to do.
Dave...
Just relax.
Here's what we're going to do. I... Dave... Just relax. I'm going to do it. Here's what we're going to do.
Here's what we're going to do.
I'm going to put in this shell.
This green-shelled tape.
This one named,
oh, green-shelled tapes.
I'm going to put it in.
Jake Tobin,
third and fourth thoughts.
Show me ball number four.
Oh, boy!
I'm going to play four tracks.
The first four tracks on the B side.
And boom goes the dynamite.
And then we'll discuss
what we're talking about.
Here we go.
Jake Tobin.
You can take pictures of products.
You can make notes about lyrics.
You can arrange all your hair ties while listening to songs you don't like.
But theory comes after action, so don't try and make it all up.
Yes, theory comes after. Theory comes after grinding your teeth an airplane, or packing your lunch in a hearse,
stubbing your toe on a phone book, or eating Chinese before work.
Because theory comes up to action, so don't try and make it all up. so Ewww. Thank you. Bye.

so fucking jake tobin or is it or it? Third and fourth thoughts from Truly Bald.
And I'm just realizing now that when I was talking about that
Best of Bob Seger thing with Ben V and Jake T,
that Jake T is probably this guy.
What are you calling for?
I still don't know.
You thinking somebody else?
Yeah.
I mean, why wouldn't they put his full name in if it was him?
So it's obviously like there's Jake Tobin.
Is that his name? Jake? Jake Tobin, right? Jake So it's obviously like there's Jake Tobin. Is that his name?
Jake?
Jake Tobin, right?
Jake Tobin.
And then there's Jake T.
Two different people.
Yeah, two different people.
Then there's JT.
And there's JT.
Then there's JT Tobin.
See?
Then there's Jake.
Two strips of bacon Tobin.
And there's Jay-Z.
There's Jay-Z.
There's Jay-Z.
King of hip hop.
DMX.
Oh, yeah.
ODB.
That's what he says, right? Mr. T. Oh, yeah. Yeah, DMX. DMX. That's what DMX. Oh, yeah. ODB. That's what he says, right?
Mr. T.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, DMX.
DMX.
That's what he says.
Oh, yeah.
BTO.
BTO?
Yeah.
Buckman Turner Overdrive?
Mm-hmm.
All right, whose turn is it?
My turn.
Joe's Corner.
I'm going to play this new tape on Gnome Life.
Are you?
Fountain Sun, which is the duo of Daniel Higgs and Fumi Ishii.
I think that's how you say it.
Sounds about right.
Fumi Ishii.
This is quite a looker you got here.
Yeah, the tape is beautiful.
They come in a little brad pack.
They all look like this with silver or gold foil imprinting.
Is that imprinting or deprinting?
It's like foil stamped.
Foil stamped.
Yeah.
And then the name up there.
It's gorgeous.
And then on the side, it's like ecomancy volume whatever.
And then there's always like a pencil drawn little symbol.
Is it always that symbol?
No, no.
It's different symbols every time.
Some are astrological.
I don't know what that one is.
It's like a yin yang without the dots.
Let me see. It's a dotless yin yang. It's different symbols every time. Some are astrological. I don't know what that one is. It's like a yin-yang without the dots. Let me see.
It's a dotless yin-yang.
It's a very rare.
Yeah.
What you got there is an extremely rare dotless yin-yang.
It is like a yin-yang without the dots.
What you got there.
Gnome Life number 31.
Do all of the Gnome Life tapes look like this?
If you listen to everything I just said.
I wasn't listening to anything, by the way.
I'm sorry.
They all look like this.
I'm sorry.
Like the general public, I also would not listen to you. They all look like this. I'm sorry. Like the general public, I also would not listen to you.
Sorry, Joe.
It's either silver or gold.
Okay.
Yeah.
They all come in this Brad pack?
Oh, my God.
Son of a bitch.
Goof.
Joke.
Packaging prank.
God damn it.
And they're all over here.
My only complaint about this fucking label.
Whoa. This sounds like it's going to be a rough complaint.
...is the quality is really shitty on every tape.
I thought you were going to say really good, and I was like, why are you upset about that?
It's too good.
Great!
I hate it!
I hate it!
So we got home to...
That's weird that they would get this...
You know what's weird?
Beautiful packaging.
You know what irks me?
They spend all their money on that.
I have...
Yeah, the packaging is...
I think I have three tapes on this label.
Another Dan Higgs tape.
Okay.
And then a Little Wings tape.
Okay.
And everyone is just like...
And then the music behind that.
Oh, that sucks.
I like how they point out that this box is made of 100% recycled paper.
50% post-consumer. 50% post-consumer.
They make a note of that on the back there.
It's pretty good.
But otherwise...
So they do all that for the packaging, and then... Well, they put out LPs and stuff, too, so I don't know if they're just like, this is a side note.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So when they do tapes, are they all in this packaging?
Yeah.
Okay.
Wish you said no.
You're trying to razz me.
You're trying to get me going.
I'm trying to razz you.
Don't try to get my goat.
I will.
Go, boy!
Go, boy!
Too scary.
It's weird that there's a label that says side A, but then the screw's on the other side.
Don't bring that.
I brought that up.
Don't do my material.
Yeah, I thought that was weird as well.
Like he gets them and then was like, no.
I think people already got the general idea of how weird it was.
By just me saying that joke.
It's fine.
You don't need to go.
You don't need to chime in.
What about you, Soup Guy?
You got anything to say?
I wanted to do Hillrush stuff with my friend.
All right.
Oh, we can do that, Dave.
Let's get this tape going.
Okay.
Fountain Sun. One word. B-side, right? Is that what you're playing. Let's get this tape going. Okay, Fountain Sun, one word.
B-side, right? Is that what you're playing?
That's what I gave you.
I'm playing the screw side, which on this is the B-side.
Is the B-side, yeah. Screw side.

You could be. What? You the brain. You could be.
What?
You could be.

Me too.
All right, Joe.
All right, Dave.
All right, Mike.
All right, Dave.
All right, Dave.
All right, Dave.
All right, Joe.
Because that's pretty much the transition when we want someone.
Do you just want to do it right now and we'll just play back later?
No, that goes on the compilation.
I want a compilation of every time we say that.
Not just right now.
If you're out there, make a compilation of every time we say it.
I'll give you $2.
No, I'll give you $69 if somebody makes one
that's an hour long with all different ones.
No repeats.
You can't copy and paste it.
We'll know.

Let's do it.
What if I do it?
Joe's on board
Joe you don't have the time for that
You know what I might do it though
I'm funneling the money
Out of the Tabs Out account
Because we're not going to check it
Me and Dave aren't going to listen to it
And make sure that you didn't repeat any. Like, picture me right now.
Like, the thing is, like, me wearing sunglasses, looking at the computer screen.
And in the reflection of my sunglasses is, like, a bank account thing with, like, the money going over.
As the, all right, Dave.
All right, Joe is playing in the background, which is me laughing.
You son of a bitch.
All right, Joe.
All right, Dave.
All right, Joe.
All right, Dave. Ooh,, Joe. All right, Dave.
Ooh, I like that color.
I'm going to play this tape that came out on Geographic North.
Yeah, this is really nice.
This is a collab between Jesse Osborne Lanthier and Robert Lepak.
Robert Lepak, he was in Two Rokoko Rot.
Oh, okay.
I guess they're German, like post-Rocky electronic.
I don't remember. Or Berlin-based. I remember listening're German, like post-rocky electronic. German?
Or Berlin-based.
I remember listening to a two-roke-a-roke record.
Yeah, kind of like Tortoise kind of thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That style.
And he's done a bunch of Rastronauton releases and stuff, I think, as well.
You piqued my interest, Dave.
A bunch of electronic solo albums and stuff.
I like that label. You're solid as a rock.
I don't really know much
about the other dude,
Jesse Osborne Lanthier.
Parentheses noir.
I guess that's an alias of him.
Is that written on the tape?
Yeah, it's written on the tape.
What label is this?
Geographic North.
When I saw that on the Geographic North website online,
I thought they were saying...
Their official website?
Their official website.
You thought they were just like, you know...
Brought to you by GoDaddy.
I thought it was just mentioning this person does a project
or is in a project called Noir.
Right, right.
No, it's actually on the spine.
It's his maiden name.
But I really like the artwork for this tape.
They kind of do, for this one, similar to the La Cajou thing where they take the spine. It's his maiden name. But I really like the artwork for this tape. They kind of do, for this one, similar to the La Cajou thing where they take the spine,
and the spine is a separate piece of paper and the flap that wraps around the back.
A U-card?
It's not really a U-card.
It's like a lowercase U-card.
Lowercase U-card, yeah.
Or a lowercase C-card.
Yeah, C-card.
I like C-card better.
A lowercase C card. But the thing that I like about this one is it's not the same size on the front and the back.
The front flap is actually a little bit longer.
It's like half of the J card.
So it's not a C card.
No, because it's not a C.
How do you write your C's?
It's a mini J card, basically.
It's a mini J.
Mini J.
You pull it out and...
Do you think it was an accident?
Like one time he cut it wrong and he's like, son of a bitch.
That's a J, right?
And his friend was like, no, no.
Like he was getting J cards made at a print shop and they fucked up and they cut them that size.
They cut them that size.
And he's like, what am I going to do with all these?
And his friend was like, wrap it around another one.
And he was like, genius.
You know what's fucking terrible?
Let me see it again.
Let's get through this complaint.
One complaint.
Give me your complaint first.
Let's hear it.
Okay, so on the back flap here of the J card,
on the mini J card, the text is upside down.
Okay?
Yeah.
Now, on the full-size J card that sits underneath of it,
they got it right.
They got it right.
Huh.
Let me see that. That's what I want to see. It's weird that there's printing of it. They got it right. They got it right. Huh. Let me see that.
That's what I want to see.
It's weird that there's printing on both.
I'm angry right now.
Yeah, it's weird that there's printing on both.
Like the logo's there and everything.
The logo's there, but it's different text.
It's different text.
Like on this side.
It's different text.
Yeah.
On this side, it's just a description.
On the little J card, it's just a description.
See, this is why we need the X-Files theme song
to play when we're confused about.
Because this is spooky. Yeah, this is. Well, this is. It description of stuff. See, this is why we need the X-Files theme song to play when we're confused about...
Because this is spooky.
Yeah, this is...
Well, this is...
Don't be scary.
It's not spooky.
It's like, I just can't figure it out.
And I really like...
Is that the feeling you get of the X-Files theme song?
Like, I can't figure this out.
Like, the truth is out there.
That's my impression of the...
Like, who is Mulder?
The whole time...
I can't wait to get the end of the Xbox. Never mind.
I like it now. Oh, you like it now?
New information. Hold on.
Why do you like it now? I like it now because
on the Mini-J card, if you're looking at the front
of the tape... We just called it Mini-J.
Turn it on its side. Oh, the text is one way.
The text is...
So on the
little Mini-J card... Just Mini-J.
This is a complicated art piece here.
It's called the mini J.
The mini J.
The artist's name goes across the front of it.
Okay.
With a little bit of the text cut off on the bottom.
Yeah.
And then...
On the big J.
The big J card underneath...
Just regular J, actually.
Do we call that just a J card?
Because it's not a big J card.
Regular J card.
J card.
Just J card.
The name of the tape, side down.
Side down. With a little bit of the tape upside down with a little bit
of the bottom of that text cut off.
But see,
the spine is that way too.
It's oriented the same way
as timeline is.
Oh, the spine is upside down then compared to the...
But that's because timeline is upside down.
This is really complicated.
Yeah, there's a whole lot going on here.
This is like some sort of Japanese puzzle they found
somewhere and no one's been able to solve it yet.
Dave cracked it though. I get it now.
Boy genius. And it looks good.
Have we mentioned how one, the mini J
is pink and the J card is
a baby blue.
Baby colors.
It's quite striking. I love when
you're looking at it with the... I won't get into
all of it. It doesn't matter.
It looks awesome.
Affirmative.
Alright, where's the actual tape?
Wait, on the inside of the
Mini J, is there a photograph
as well? Because there is on the... Yeah, there is.
Oh, does it go together?
Because there's something on the inside.
I think this might be a treasure. Hold on.
No. Do they go together?
They overlap, too. It's nice.
Wait, hold on.
It's not perfect though.
It's the same picture. It's like a tree, like a flowering
tree maybe. That's a bush.
A bush. And when you put them
over top of each other
it matches up, but not perfectly.
It's got to go over like that.
That's close enough.
I would say no. After working in the
printing industry. That's a no.
That's a quarter inch.
That's a lot.
That's enough that I would say let's not play this tape.
Yeah.
You don't send those to the customer.
You put these on the wall.
The fuck up wall.
But this tape is tight, man.
I was really stoked to see that
tight man
tight man
alright well let's get into this man
this is a mouthful
Jesse Osborne
Lanthier
Noir and Robert
oh my god
you guys do you hear that
oh no Oh my god You guys do you hear that?
Oh no This is way too scary
I'm just gonna play the tape
Way too
No stop it
You know I don't like that one
In real life
Turn it off
Come on No that's all good I wanted to do good stuff for my friend.
Come on.
No, that's all good. Thank you. so Thank you. so
so so Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Jesse Osborne Lanthier, Robert LePoc.
What's the difference between a worm and a snake?
Geographic North, number 28.
Edition of 100.
That was tight.
He didn't do that off the cuff.
He's done that material before on me.
But it hits every time.
That's one of my favorite ones.
What's the context of that conversation?
There's no conversation.
It's just that.
It just comes up. I think it's like he's at lunch in the mall,
like the food court,
with one other person he works with
and they're just eating Arby's
and all of a sudden he's...
What's the difference between a worm and a snake?
No, they're out back
behind the building they work out.
There's a picnic table where they have lunch
and somebody's sitting at the picnic table eating
and he's standing behind him on his flip phone
and then all of a sudden he says,
what's the difference between a worm and a snake?
No one says anything.
Just keep eating. How much does an egg
weigh?
Alright.
My turn, right? Your turn.
Too scary. Well, this one's definitely too scary.
It is too scary.
Dave, you gotta get ready. Too scary.
You gotta get your hands on the keys for when he's about to play this one.
Uh-oh.
This is a new John Pyle tape.
Quiet, John.
Pleasure Island.
Werewolf.
Put the ball back in your mouth, John.
Mazurka?
He's into that kind of stuff, right?
The ball stuff with leather.
Rubber ball on the mouth and the leather.
Yeah, all that shit.
Photocopies.
All that fetish black and white underground shit he loves.
Like he brings it to life.
Xerox.
Right.
Oh, definitely Xerox.
Love Xerox.
Love Xerox.
It's the X's that he likes.
It's the what?
The X's and Xerox.
The word.
He likes those the best.
Okay.
Mazurka Editions, number 48.
What is his label?
Mazurka?
Mazurka?
How do you say that?
Mazurka.
Mazurka.
I love Mazurka.
Name's Frankie Mazurka, John.
I want to put out a tape for you.
I think they're from Australia, if I'm not mistaken.
Okay.
They got the small
little guy. I hate
those Noroccos with the tiny little...
It's like they couldn't finish them. At first, I was like,
why is this cut so short? But then, no, it's
perfect.
That was an accident. But it worked. It fit.
That made sense. It is spooky scary.
So the artwork's on a piece of vellum cut
for that, and then there's just a white piece
of paper with a typewriter text with the lyrics.
I don't feel comfortable with the Noroco cases
with the tiny little back.
Oh, there's lyrics in there, huh?
It just makes me...
It gets me...
I'm just at, like...
I can't settle.
Let me see.
I can't be settled.
They're trying to save on plastic,
like the water bottles.
I just...
I can't be...
I'm not settled with those either.
I'm just always on edge
when I have these kind of Noroco cases.
Well, watch that video
on YouTube on how to relax yourself.
I bet John Pyle
has a VHS tape in his closet
called How to Relax Yourself.
I don't want to know what's on that.
It's definitely really grainy.
Yeah, whatever it is.
Whatever it is, if you hear it
from the other room, you know he's watching it.
It's kind of just... Not because of hear it from the other room, you know he's watching it. It's got to just...
Yeah, not because of the audio from the video,
because he's making that noise.
All right, so let's play...
What did I give you, the B-side?
Yeah.
Let's play some cuts from the B-side.
What's on the cover there?
It's like a Sudoku.
Is it? It's like a... It's like a Sudoku. Is it?
It's like a...
It's like a mind puzzle.
Yeah, it's like an awesome mind puzzle.
Okay.
I do like the artwork.
It's very nice.
Yeah, I like his little...
I think he made the logo.
Maybe...
I don't know if that's a logo,
but he did the art on the inside.
This guy was...
That Jesus on the palm tree?
Is that Jesus?
Or is that just a person?
I think that person...
They had the ball in the mouth, too, I think.
He does have the ball in the mouth.
I guess they're not necessarily crucified.
They're just chained up.
No, I think they're crucified.
No, crucifixion, you're much more like this.
Spread.
No, I think that's crucified.
I don't know what kind of crosses you've seen.
The Jew ones.
Joke.
It's kind of like a combination of being crucified and being like S&M.
S&M chained up?
It's definitely S&M.
Well, that's what Pyle's into.
Yeah, I've heard that on the podcast before.
You've heard it on what podcast?

Taint for Laughs, but it's the number four,
and then laughs is spelled L-A-F-F-S.
All right.
And then I'm trying to figure out what this little graphic is
on the B side of this tape.
I can't figure it out.
Joe, what do you think that is?
I want to see.
It's like those jazz drumsticks, the wire ones, and it's bent really hard.
Yeah.
No, I don't think that's it.
I don't know what that is.
Yeah, I don't know.
I thought it was a belt at first that was like frayed at the end
because it's got like two little buckle holes there.
Let me take a gander.
Mike's getting his mitts on it.
It's like a...
Huh.
Huh.
I think it's like...
Is it like a...
Like when you have like a Dremel tool?
Is that like...
I wish you could see it.
Is this like an attachment for like a Dremel?
I have no idea. Like something that would cut in the drywall? I wish you could see it. Is this like an attachment for a Dremel? I have no idea.

With some goop coming off of it.
I don't know.
Suite 309, run by Tim Thornton, who did the intro tonight.
Oh, you know what?
Never mind.
Okay, here we go.
It's not really anything.
Oh, good.
I'm glad to know it's nothing.
I mean, there's this abstract drawing on the cover,
and it looks like that's an extraction from the drawing there.
See it right there kind of in the middle?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What is it?
It looks like a Dremel, so.
Get off the Dremel.
We get it.
It's tight artwork, though.

It's like a guy that's trying to, like, revoke.
It's like a guy that gets hired to, like,
punch up a commercial on the radio with, like, sound effects,
but he's really bad at it.
He's just really bad at it.
He's just really bad at it.
Any of those good?
Any of those good.
It's like he's frying an egg on a soundboard.
This Sunday...
I wanted to do cool.
Come on down to the historic Hardboard Valley Mall.
Where prices are through the roof.
All right, well, let's get into this
Jeremiah Fisher tape. I heard a fucking tape from this dude.
A self-release tape like a year or so ago.
That was fucking so good.
I was listening to it the other day, actually. But let's get into this one. That like a year or so ago. That was fucking so good. I was listening to it
the other day, actually.
But let's get into this one.
That's a good story, Mike.
Thanks.
It was compelling.
I thought there would be more.
Play the Jaws soundtrack.
So I listened to this tape
the other day.
It was a self-release tape.
Gah, gah, gah, gah, gah.
Jeremiah Fisher.
My ears are sweaty.
Y'all's ears are freaking sweaty.
Can you just have diabetes in one place?
God, these are way too many fries.
I got a splinter in my neck.
I'm ready to face this. I got a splinter in my neck. I am. Oh, my God. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Jeremiah Fisher.
I was listening to that all day today while I was playing Rocket League.
What's Rocket League?
What's Rocket League?
Is that the soccer game?
Yeah.
You're still playing that?
It's so much.
It's so addicting.
It's like a soccer game, so addicting. It's like, what is it? I don't know what it is.
It's a soccer game,
but with a giant soccer ball,
but everybody plays as a car.
A little car.
Yeah.
What?
And then when you run into it
is when you hit it
and sometimes it goes
real crazy.
Are there a bunch of,
like,
can you be like,
a small car goes faster
but doesn't have the impact
of a larger car
that goes slower?
I think they're all,
like,
like the three, like you can be the skinny
guy, the medium guy, or the fat guy in Ice Hockey
for Nintendo? No. That's the archetype
of every type of person.
That's it. As a car.
As a car.
Play down at the Tiger Village
Arcade off of Route 309.
And boom goes
the dynamite. Alright Dave.
No, my turn.
Dave just went. My turn. That was your turn. No, my turn. No, no.
Dave just went.
Dave just went.
My turn.
All right, Dave.
All right, Joe.
All right, Dave.
Sike!
Order prank.
All right, what do I got?
Let's see what I want to play.
I pulled a good door prank on Jesse at work the other day.
Let me hear it.
No, you were there.
When he unlocked the door and then I locked it right away.
He unlocked the door and then Joe B. locked it right away.
So when he grabbed you, he was like...
And then when he grabbed it, it was locked because Joe locked it right after he unlocked it.
That's funny.
Lock prank.
Lock prank.
I said door prank.
Mike said lock prank.
But it's...
Well, I think it was the other way.
I think it was...
No, that was it.
That was it.
No, they both worked.
They both worked fine.
You guys both did good.
What the hell did this come from?
Too scary.
Okay, I'm going to play this tape by Alastria.
Alastria.
It's called Luther.
Joe, when I say Alastria, do you know what that is a reference to?
No.
No?
No.
You want to take a guess um Battlestar Galactica
close it's a planet in Star Trek really yeah what is it again Elastria no I knew that okay
really a planet in Star Trek yeah which series the TNG the original series just scanning really
quick at the corner of my eye I think uh Voyager Voyager all right but it might be something else
I like Neelix oh hell yeah me too I gotta say Voyager is one right. But it might be something else. I like Neelix. Oh, hell yeah, me too.
I got to say, Voyager is one of my favorites.
It's irreverent.
I do like, yeah, it goes Star Trek Next Generation, Voyager.
Oh, my God, I don't care!
D-Space 9.
Then the original series.
Uh-huh.
And then the horrible one. What's the horrible one?
Enterprise.
It's been a long road. Oh no, no, no.
With Quantum Leap? Yeah.
No, that one's good. No, it's not. Liz tried to say it's good too.
It's not fucking good.
That's right. No, I go that one's
the best. That's the best. Then the new
movies.
The new movies are good.
I haven't actually seen them. Dave's nodding his head. You don't like them? I actually haven't seen them.
Dave's nodding his head.
You don't like it?
Dave always says, Dave's science fiction, he needs like a Jim Henson Muppet.
Oh, you like hard sci-fi, right?
Guys, come on.
We've talked about this so many times.
No.
None of those things.
Oh.
None of those things.
Anyway.
Sci-fi with people in it.
With people in it, like Interstellar.
Like on Earth.
Then what science fiction is that?
Like aliens attack a city.
That's what you like.
As soon as they go into space.
I thought you liked gravity.
I mean, it was fun, but there wasn't any jargon in that or anything.
You like jargon.
No, I don't like jargon.
That was all action.
That's fine.
We got three tapes by this project a month ago.
Elastria. That all looked dope.
There's definitely
a theme to all of them. I'm warming to it, though.
I'm warming up.
I'm warming up.
You're warming up to it? I'm warming up to it.
So now when you watch it,
you wear weird underwear underneath your clothes?
And it makes it better.
The dude who does the project AP Vague,
which we've played... He played Delaware
like a year or two ago.
He does a lot of stuff with
computer visuals type shit
when he plays. Computer visuals.
Computer.
Maybe this is a new project of his
or a project I just heard of.
I think he does stuff sometimes with other people.
There's other people on some of these tapes.
Can I look something up on your iPod?
How many iPods are there in a store?
So he sent us these three tapes and I'm going to play a bit from the one Luther,
which I had this last time
and I really wish I played it
because don't ask me why.
It's the label it's on, which I don't know what label it's on. Where'd this tape come from?
That's mine.
That fell.
Crack that code.
How come refrigerators don't have a doorbell?
I believe it's Class M Recordings is the name of the label.
And the release number is like, what is it? I don't know what it is, but it's Class M Recordings is the name of the label. And the release number is like,
what is it? I don't know what it is,
but it's not 69, and for whatever reason
this takes...
Do you have that voice activated
for when in the year 69?
It was fast.
Here we go. All right. Well, don't come back in now.
This tape, I'm afraid to say it,
but it says 69 on it for whatever reason.
Here we go. So it's a silver shell and a gold pendant says Luther
number 69 on one side.
I didn't know if you were going to do it.
Alright, cut that one.
Jump!
I hope everybody
knows what 69 means.
And this is
weird. I read somewhere That it was a C12
This is a long
Fucking tape
That's not a C12
That's not a C12
Unless they made it
12 minutes
On a really long tape
I don't know where
I read that
You know what it says
At the bottom here
C12
But I don't think
That's what it means
No that can't be possible
No
No it's a long ass tape
Damn girl
It's a long ass tape
But all these tapes
Are really good
Like it's got some
Chill stuff
This track I'm gonna play Is like It's a long-ass tape. But all these tapes are really good. It's got some chill stuff. This track I'm going to play is like...
Chill stuff, sick stuff, sweet stuff.
How come no tape labels have used that?
How come?
Let me ask you all this.
I got a serious question.
How come no tape label ever...
I like your Rand Paul character.
You have to figure out...
How come no tape label...
What was that?
When he does the little flappy arm thing.
I like his hair.
How come no tape label?
Why?
Has ever used that as their catalog scheme, like C01, C2, C...
I don't know.
Maybe they have.
Maybe they have.
I know all the tape labels, and none of them have done it.
Let me Google it.
Computer.
No, it's never been done before.
Google says...
It's good, though.
Google shows zero results.
You broke Google.
Right now an alarm is going off at Google.
They can't find it.
And they're like, wake up the letters.
And all the mutant Google letters are sleeping somewhere.
I hope the letters are real.
Wake up the Google letters.
There's a Matrix printer printing real fast.
Somebody's reading the readout.
I hope there's like a G
that's all like gross
and like bulbous and it's like chained to a wall
somewhere and there's like the two O's
that are like the twins.
The twins.
But they all have their own power. When you put them together
then you can find results.
That's why no other search engines
have survived. It blows my mind that
it's instant. Oh, it's instant. It's right away. search engines have survived. It blows my mind that it's instant.
Oh, it's instant.
It's right away.
Like hundreds of pages.
Hundreds of pages right away.
Let's not start talking about things on the internet that blow our minds.
Because we'll be here all night because the internet is full of interesting stuff.
It is.
Check it out at your local library or at home.
The internet.
Internet.com.
It's what's happening.
I wonder what site is the first in alphabetical order,
like the first site on the net.
What's the topmost alphabetically ordered website?
A something dot A dot com.
Just A dot com.
How long does it take to scroll?
Is A dot com a site?
I don't know.
It's loading.
I don't think that would be the first one alphabetically.
No?
Wait, no.
It has to be.
Why wouldn't that be the first one alphabetically?
A dot com?
There's no A dot com? No. But if that was a website, Why wouldn't that be the first one alphabetically? A.com. There's no A.com.
No.
But if that was a website, why wouldn't it be the first one alphabetically?
Like A.aa or something.
But just A is the first letter by itself.
A.aa would then be like A, A.a.
But yours is A.c.
No, but the.com doesn't count.
.aa isn't a website.
Yeah, it could be.
I think you can get anything anymore.
.aa?
No.
Nope.
Now I'm Googling it, and it says, do you mean AAA.com?
Yes.
Oh, wait, that's what I meant, AAA.com.
But there's AA.com, which is American Airlines.
Really?
They got AA, huh?
That's the first one.
Good for them.
That's the first one?
Yeah.
Why don't you just Google which...
Do it weird.
Do it like something.
Which side is the most alphabetical?
See what it says.
While we're doing that,
let's play something off this
Elastria tape, Luther.
On, I believe, Class M recordings.
I believe.
I want to believe.
Like the X-Files Thank you. We'll be right back. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to go. A luthier is someone who fixes guitars? Who fixes luthiers.
Or just stringed instruments?
Stringed instruments?
I think.
Yeah.
Suddenly see more strings.
Someone ask Google.
Who's the most alphabetical luthier?
That was my turn.
Now it's my turn.
I'm going to play this tape called 69.
No, Mike, stop trying to do that.
Crank.
What do you got?
Jackie O, mother.
Easy.
Family friendly show.
This is New Tape, right?
Yeah.
I like that name.
That's one of my favorite names.
New Tape?
New Tape.
New Tape.
What's the label?
PPT?
Home, home tones. Po, poemT? Poem Poem Tones.
Poem Poem Tones?
Poem Poem Tones.
Poem Poem Tones.
This is, I think, a fairly new label.
At least I've never heard of them, but this is Poem Poem Tones number five.
Early in the catalog.
Yeah.
I remember getting really into this kind of music.
The Jackie O Motherfucker?
Yeah.
What is it?
Acid folk kind of psychedelic.
I forget.
But like No Neck Blues Band.
Sunburn Hand.
Sunburn Hand of Man.
That kind of vein of stuff.
I got so into that shit.
We saw Sunburn Hand of Man one time.
We did see that one time.
At like three in the morning.
And then in the middle of the set,
one of the dudes just left
and he never came back.
Really?
I don't really remember.
They played for another 20 minutes.
I remember one guy
looked like Scott Street.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Looked just like him.
That's all I remember.
That's all I remember.
It was a Mack Rock.
It was a late night Mack Rock.
Remember that label Jeweled Antler
put out all that stuff?
Yeah.
Similar to that?
Similar to that stuff, yeah.
Man, I got so into it.
I was listening to that shit, like, got so into it.
That was big time for you.
Now I'm in your mom's basement?
DJ outside space.
If anybody's interested in what the rock from Slovak looks like,
there's a Twitter account for him now.
He's on Twitter now.
I fucking got on the Twittersphere, man.
They can't keep the rock off the online.
I'm going to tell people the truth.
It's perfect.
Hey, what you tape fucks talking about?
Tape fucks.
You tape fucks.
What you playing?
Be interested if you guys can guess what's wrong with him.
Like, what happened to the side of his face?
Give us a story.
You don't want to know.
All right, well, let's get into this.
Jackio motherfuckers.
You want a backstory on him?
All right.
Someone write that.
Okay, we'll see if he tweets it.
We'll see if he tweets it.
Yeah, who else wants 69 bucks?
Jackio motherfuckers smiles.
I tripped over a boom box and landed on a firecracker.
Blew my cheeks straight off.
That sounds about right.
It happened like three weeks ago.
It just happened.
My brother patched me up.
So it just happened like three weeks ago.
He's not really a DJ.
He's just sitting.
He's at his parents' house.
Oh, he's a DJ.
Oh, he's a DJ.
Okay.
This tape came out in a batch with Dire Wolves

That's what the problem was.
All right, Dave, go.
I'm going to play this tape that came out on Calico Cassettes,
inaugural tape, number one.

It was recorded in May, June of 2015.
So recent material for a recent tape.
It was recorded in June?
Yep.
Like two months ago?
So they got this out quick.
That one must be sizzling.
I bet the ink hasn't even dried yet.
Unless that's a stamp.
But I don't think it is.
What is it now?
What is the name of the project?
I'm sorry. Jake Elliott.
Jake Elliott. Number one.
Calico Tapes.
What is this you're doing, Joe?
Is this a baseball announcer?
It's a baseball announcer.
It's Howard Cosell.
I thought that was Howie.
Spot on.
You nailed it.
Really nice.
That's how I'm going to start presenting the artwork to you guys.
I like that presentation.
Hold it back there like that.
I like that.
Pretty nice.
With those hands, it works.
You can fit everything.
I can't believe you can hold...
Let me try to hold both of them.
Pass those over.
Now that looks stupid.
That looks terrible.
Yeah, I can't hold them straight.
Look how small your hand is.
Now you do it.
Hold on, let me see you do it, big guy.
No, one hand.
Put them both in the same hand.
Next to each other.
Oh, boy!
Let me see, Joe.
That's worse than me.
Oh, that's pretty bad.
That's a gremlin grip.
You got a gremlin grip.
It hurts.
Take it out of my hand.
It hurts.
Look at him.
Is this again Jake Jelinek?
This is Jake Elliott.
Jake Elliott.
Jake Elliott.
I always like the...
Elliott.
Whatever happened to that label Field Studies?
E.T.
I don't know.
Are they still doing stuff?
Field Studies?
I don't think so.
They haven't done anything in a while.
They haven't done anything this year or maybe not even last year.
That looks a lot like a Field Studies.
Yeah.
It's got a photograph with a nice white margin around.
Oh, margin.
Nice.
I like that.
It always looks good.
It's beautiful.
It's stunning.
Always looks good.
It's erotic.
This tape is called XOR, which I think means exclusive or.

Extra tentacles?

I got a bunch
Dave, have you
Have you looked into this dude's stuff at all?
No, I haven't
This guy, Jake Elliot
This guy
This guy is from Kentucky, right?
He's a video game developer.
He's developed video games for the computer.
Oh, yeah?
PC?
The PC.
Called Cardboard Computers is the name of his thing, right?
And there's making a game right now with somebody else
called Kentucky Route Zero.
About, like, I don't know, underneath of Kentucky somewhere.
And you go through, it's like a role-playing game.
I saw a preview for it.
It looked awesome.
But he made this game called Dog and Bone Are Friends.
And I started playing it today, and it was fucking incredible.
I played it for like an hour.
Really?
You play it on the computer?
It's like a puzzle strategy game.
Oh, you like those.
So like, there's a dog dog and there's a skeleton.
And they each have different maneuvers,
different things that they can do.
Actions.
Different actions that they can do that have various effects.
And you have to get them together.
And there's things like, there's different obstacles and stuff.
But I'll be damned.
And you control each of them, but only one at a time.
Did you win?
So I played for like an hour.
I didn't win.
That wasn't the question.
I didn't get to the end.
Did you fucking win?
You know, in life with winners and losers,
it's not really something that I grew up thinking was important.
It's just a matter of having fun.
But I want to check out more of his games. Cardboard Computers
I believe. Is that what I wrote down? Cardboard Computers.
Dot com. They make
quote slow paced games which sounds
really fucking boring. Slow paced games.
Slow paced. But I like it.
Shut up!
This tape was a
edition of 50.
Was an edition? And here we go.
Is. Thank you. so Thank you. Thank you. I'm out. Jake Elliott, Calico Tapes, XOR.
I hate when people are good at a lot of different things.
Like really good at it?
Yeah, like really good.
They just pick something up and...
Yeah, they're good at it, and they do a lot of different stuff.
I hate it.
What if it's a lot of little things?
If they're good at a lot of things, I don't like it.
Yeah, I don't like it.
But little things.
What if they're good at just like...
To me, it's just as bad.
Like getting staples out of a piece of paper
just without the staple remover.
Really good at heads or tails.
Really good at that.
Really good at heads or tails.
Anything.
Well, if it's that and other things.
If it's mundane things like that, it's cool.
Yeah.
Like, I don't care at all.
Yeah.
But if you're good at music and art
and you can develop video games.
Knowledge.
Yeah, you're smart.
Actually.
Actually.
Yeah, then fuck you.
Yeah, that's the worst kind of person.
To me, that's just as bad as Donald Trump.
Oh, worse.
It's worse than like...
Because he just has money.
Than just like obscenely gross capitalists.
It's the same, right? He has money. He it's just like obscenely gross capitalist. It's the same, right?
He has money.
He's also very smart.
Joby, do me a favor
and just throw a fistful
of fries and a half
a slice of pizza
into your computer.
Why did you do that?
It hit your computer
when I was trying
to bring it to my mouth.
Oh, the age-old
folly of a man
of a grown man
of a grown man
getting pizza blocked
by another computer.
Alright.
You know, I do.
How come ice cream doesn't come in cans?
I gotta say, there's a retraction.
Not a retraction.
But it came to my knowledge.
It's come to all of our knowledge that I was skipped earlier in the show.
So I want to say to all the Haley heads out there, I got your tweets.
I got your emails.
I got your LinkedIn messages.
It's okay.
I know I got skipped.
I'll get it.
Just relax.
I'll get them back.
Just relax.
Play it cool.
Whose turn is it now?
My turn.
Your turn.
Okay.
Well, since we were talking about you.
It'd be funny if we skipped them again, Joe.
Why, I oughta.
I'm going to play a tape that came out on a label that
I have a bunch of stuff from a while ago
Like 2000 and
Not a while ago but like 2008, 2009
That was a long time ago
That was forever ago
We used to use old time railroads back then
Pretty Little Music
Who I think have just started
What's the problem?
Is this still good?
No that Mountain Dew
What happened to the tape?
I put a tape in Mountain Dew.
Dave, please don't drink that.
It's still really carbonated.
This is still good.
Please don't drink that.
Don't drink that.
It's weeks old, Dave.
No, Dave, don't do it.
What's wrong?
It was so fresh.
Did you hear it go...
It did go...
No, that's not airtight.
Don't drink that Mountain Dew.
Oh, he's drinking it.
Dave's getting crazy.
That's not bad.
Dave, just relax.
That was disgusting.
No, I put a cassette tape in a mason jar of Mountain Dew
to see what would happen,
and it turns out that nothing happens,
but gross shit starts growing inside of the mason jar.
So that just got thrown away.
So something happened.
Something happened.
Pretty little music.
I need something, man.
Those fries are so fucking salty.
Jesus Christ. I like a salty... I said extra salt when I ordered it. I need something, man. Those fries are so fucking salty. Jesus Christ.
I like a salty...
I said extra salt when I ordered it.
I like extra salt on my fries.
Did you really say that?
No, Dave ordered.
Psych.
Food prank.
This is Pretty Little Music number 98, Lidless Eye.
I think I have a Lidless Eye tape somewhere.
Yeah, we've played Lidless Eye before.
I'll tell you who Lidless Eye is.
It's Knox
Mitchell, who runs Green Records and Tapes
and has like a thousand
projects. One of those dudes
that has like, you go to his Discogs, like every good
John Elliott's Discogs page
and it's like a novel. It's like a novel
of all the different things that he's done. Yeah.
It goes on for like eight pages. It's like
How come marbles are only
balls shaped? Balls shaped? It's like, how come marbles are only balls shaped?
That's a good question, actually.
Square, balls shaped, triangle.
How do you say the name
of this type?
I'm staring at it, but it's not processing in my brain right now.
Man, I need a cold
drink of water. It's not patrol.
Oh, it's not patrol.
Oh, this fucked me up. Partal
Semicol.
Right? I think it's
France. Oh, now that you
say it.
Oh, yeah.
I nailed it.
You go and get it, Dave. But this just came out
with two other tapes.
It was a double tape.
What was it? The double tape is right behind you, right?
In the box.
Petrol chemical.
Is that what it was?
DJ Outside Space.
What box?
Coming at you.
42 degrees in the building, really heating up into the midnight hour.
We got some real hard hair bangers coming at you.
Is that Celsius?
What is 42 degrees Celsius?
We're going to be burning the midnight petroleum.
I was just reading the olive vine earlier tonight.
It says we'll be giving the fuck out of music to your ears.
You better believe it's 72 degrees in the building.
The Rockets.
That's 107 degrees Fahrenheit.
It's hot in there.
Like the QB.
You like it hot in the Eastern Europe.
Hot nights.
What's going on?
Are we going to play this tape?
What was it again?
Littlest Eye.
Littlest Eye.
It's up to you.
Waiting on you.
Waiting on you, Turkey.
Waiting on you, Turkey.
I don't have it.
Who took it?
You're a bozo.
Tape rank.
It's too late for that kind of mess.
Littlest Eye.
I like the party. The End I don't know. Hello. I'm going to go ahead and get the camera. Thank you. I'm sorry. Thank you. I'm sorry. I don't know. Bye. I'm sorry. little aside Lidless eye.
Fucking part hole.
That would suck.
To have a lidless eye?
Yeah, not be able to blink.
But just one?
Terrible.
Well, you blink with the other one.
Or would that just be winking?
Yeah, see?
That's bigger winking.
Yeah.
You'd have to cover the other eye with your hand
and then do it for it to be...
That's how you blink?
That's how you blink.
You just play peek-a-boo all the time?
I don't know if that's how blinking works.
Yeah, that's not how it works.
Mike's dumb.
Ha ha, I got you. Blinking prank.
This is a C-28, I believe.
The what?
Edition of 24.
Where's the bubble thing?
Right there.
Mike put it away.
Now what?
I like how they numbered them on the cassette shell label.
This one's 24 out of 24.
Oh, I like that.
I like how they numbered on the label.
And these tight, like, ecto-cooler cass cooler cassettes yeah i think these came from duplication.ca

Don't we have a color?
Oh, Soaking Wet.
Soaking Wet.
I'm trying to set it up, and every time you're not hitting it.
Strike, strike, strike.
They make a cassette show for us.
At duplication.ca.
Wonderful product.
All right.
Whose turn is it?
Mine.
I'm going to play this tape, Boliden.
Meta.
Boliden.
On chemical tapes.
They put my grandfather on Boliden for his arthritis.
For his arthritis.
And he took Boliden.
This tape is really good.
Oh, yeah?
Prove it.
Really good.
It's been...
Oh, I like this tape.
It doesn't have...
It's screwless.
It's weird how candles work.
See, that one's not funny
because it's true.
It is weird how candles work.
I don't understand how they work.
How do they know?
Yeah, let me check out this shell.
This is pretty tight.
This is a white tape.
It's like a prison tape. No screws pretty tight. It's a white shell. It's nice. It's a white tape. It's like a prison tape.
No screws at all.
But normally those are clear.
So through some investigation on their official website.
Oh, we had Joe B.
Look it up, Joe.
Usually the little hexagon.
Is that a hexagon?
It's just an outline.
Okay.
On the spine.
Okay.
But this one's solid.
This is the start of their new Solid Hex.
Solid Hex series.
More beat-oriented material.
Same label, though, right?
Still chemical tapes.
But if it's solid,
it's got bloops and bleeps.
You guys like Crispix?
I like Crispix.
What about them?
There's a knock-off.
Gennardi's brand called Crispy Hexagons.
No, there's not.
Look it up.
Crispy Hexagons.
No way.
That's no way.
How'd that get by?
I like those better.
So anyway, Molden is crispy longer.
No, they get soggier quicker, and I like them soggy.
I like them a little soggy, too.
Milk's got to be real cold, though.
I like cold milk.
I'm sorry, Joe.
Jose Delgado.
Also, Mike, what do you like about their catalog system?
Oh, yeah.
Aren't their catalogs...
The release number is always like a...
It's a chemical.
Yeah.
Like each...
What's this chemical name that's on the thing?
Oh, does it say...
Where's my horse catalog?
On the B side, it's DET, which is N, N slash diethyl dash T.
Ah, that takes me back.
Yeah.
College.
Cramming for those exams.
Exam.
You guys ever take an exam?
So I'm going to play a cut off the A side.
I think it's the second or third track.
I think it's the third track, Seeds.
Seeds.
Seeds.
But anyway, this tape's really good.
It's one of my favorites.
And Chemical Tapes is a sick label.
They didn't just do it, but they
reissued...
They put out the original pressing of a reissue
of a Bastion Void tape.
Phonics. That tape, Phonics.
We played it in this Laser Focus.
They're a good fucking label.
Laser Focus.
That's the new intro for it.
Laser Focus! That's the new intro for it. Laser Focus.
Coming at ya.
All right.
Well, here's what's the name of this project?

Spain, I think.
Remember that show Hocus Pocus?
No, I remember the movie.
Do you remember that show Today's Special?
Oh, hell yeah.
No, I don't.
Do you remember Today's Special?
With the mannequin that came to life
and the mouse that lived in the wall
and drove the car around.
When his hat came off, right?
Yeah.
You're making all this up.
No, you never saw it.
The mannequin in the wall and the mouse.
And there was a security guard,
like a puppet security guard?
Yeah.
No.
Yeah, there was a...
Play the tape.
There was a mannequin.
What happened?
When his hat came off...
When his hat came off, he...
He froze? No, he froze when his hat came off. He was alive when he was wearing the hat. When he was wearing the hat. That's right. What happened? When his hat came off, he froze?
No, he froze when his hat came off.
He was alive when he was wearing the hat.
When he was wearing the hat.
That's right. His name was Jeff.
Today's special.
I think the mannequin's name was Jeff.
That sounds about right.
I think the security guard name was Sam.
Sam.
And Muffy, I think, was the mouse?
That sounds right.
Yeah, Muffy.
Yeah.
Yeah.

I'm going to put a meta tight on chemical tapes.
That was awesome.
From their Solid Hex series.
So it's a series, so they're still going to do other ones with the outline?
Just the outline?
Yeah.
What's inside of Bubbles?
My grandfather always told me nothing, but there must be something in there.
It's too special of a place.
All right, Dave, what do you got?
There's another one.
All right, Dave.
Yep.
Start marking them.
I'm going to play this Andrew Anderson tape.
Andrew Anderson.
I like that.
Next up.
I actually wrote a little bit about this tape on the TabsOut.com website.
I don't know where the TabsOut.com is.
It's on the internet.
Tape's called In Shadow and Ruin.
I think this is self-released.
I think he has a name that he like...
Oh, yeah. Misanthropic Smile.
Yeah, that's it.
We played something
from Andrew Anderson before.
It's probably maybe a year ago or so.
Another self-release
thing. Yeah, or something else on
Misanthropic Smile, I think.
Yeah, but you know what I mean.
Yeah, his personal label.
Yeah, see?
Yeah, see?
Yeah, see?
Come on out, John.
I really like this.
We don't get a whole lot of stuff like this anymore.
It's not like the hip thing for the zoinkers to be doing.
Hmm.
Oh, really?
Dark droney stuff.
Oh, all right.
It's tight, though.
It's fucking tight.
And this came with...
It's refreshing to hear.
This came with another tape.
Another Andrew Anderson
tape that comes in like a paper
Oakheart type thing, right?
I don't know.
It's like a little companion
tape or something, right?
It's an edition of 40.
This is...
Edition of 40.
I really like the...
All money will be donated to ACLU.
Give it up, Obama.
Thanks, Obama.
More liberal agenda going on.

Yeah.
Every little bit.
I got new business.
Go and get new water.
Mike, go get me some new water.
I was going to get just one color business cards.
Now I'm going to throw some color in there.
Dave killed that water.
Dude, those fries were so salty, man.
You're a thirsty boy, Dave.
You're a thirsty boy, Dave.
Dave's a...
How do you get thirsty?
Dave's our thirsty boy of the week.
I tried to get a sound
computer. Oh, your computer's done?
Oh, that's funny.
Alright, well let's...
Do you guys like the drink things?
I love this tape.
What's your favorite drink?
This tape is like a smoky shell
with a liner in there and then gold imprinting on it.
It looks fucking tight.
I like red juice the best.
It looks really awesome.
The red's the healthiest for you.
That's why they make it look
like an apple.
Andrew Anderson in shadow
and ruin. Mr. Anderson.
Mr. Herman.
Beijing Mr. Herman.

Some Dungeons and Dragons.
That's what I call it.
That's a killer fucking tape.
Yeah, really good.
And if you feel like supporting the ACLU...
Not supporting the ACLU.
Not taking off my damn jacket either,
so don't even ask.
I'm going straight down to my booth
and I'm sitting down
and I'm working the cream of broccoli
and I'm not taking my goddamn jacket off.
You hear me?
I don't like this.
Hostess.
I like it because the accent, the voice is getting better every time.
I like it because it's like a 12-year-old, right?
Oh, that's an old man.
He's 13.
No, I think it's a 12-year-old.
We discussed how he was a young person.
Oh, really?
I just turned 13.
It's just 13.
Does he have Benjamin Button syndrome or whatever?
No.
Well, he's probably like a Barry Bond syndrome.
Like Ken Griffey Jr. syndrome?
Pete Rose disease.
Oh, he does have Pete Rose disease.
That's what that is.
That's why they call me Soupy is because my glands are so big.
All right, we ready to take this out?
I sweat all day.
My sweat glands are open 24 hours a day like a convenience store.
You already said that joke.
Well, that's what he says all the time to everybody.
Did I ever tell you about my sweat gland problem?
Open 24 hours a day like a convenience store.
Let me ask you a question, Dave.
Let me ask you a serious question.
Are you moving like really jittery right now, or is your character doing that?
That's my character.
Okay.
He's a method actor.
Yeah, I didn't know if Dave was just like getting really antsy over there.
You're moving around. A little bit of both. Dave was just getting really antsy over there. You're moving around.
Dave, just relax.
It's not comfortable wearing my jacket.
R.I.P. to the laptop.
Are you ready to take this home?
You ready to drive around home?
Don't peel that sticker.
Let's drive it on home, boys.
The Kendall Mint Cake.
Split with Patrick.
Put some delay on this in post.
Patrick Cosmos.
Are you going to put it on?
Huh?
Do it again.
Huh?
Okay, do the whole thing again?
Yeah, yeah.
The Kendall Mint Cake split with Patrick Cosmos.
No, but he's going to do the delay.
I'll put the delay on after
It's going to sound stupid if it's double delayed
Do it again
The Kendall Mint Cake
And Patrick
Cosmo's
Now you made me do it too
No, that sounded better
Oh wait, it was wrong?
Let's try it again
The Kendall Mint Cake
I don't want to say that.
And Patrick Cosmos.
O's.
O's.
Nailed it.
O's.
What's this on?
Big Sleep.
Big Sleep Records.
Big Sleep, huh?
Not Little Sleep. I like a Big Sleep. This is a C36. I love a Big Sleep. I slept records. Big sleep, huh? Not little sleep.
I like a big sleep.
This is a C36.
I love a big sleep.
I slept 10 hours last night.
10 hours?
I ran into your wife, your wife.
My wife?
At a fucking coffee shop at noon.
After I had...
I wonder if your fucking wife
had a coffee shop at noon.
No, let me tell you.
She was at a coffee shop at noon, right?
What's a woman doing out at noon?
Jesus fucking Christ.
Listen, at noon, and I'm like, what have you done today?
She said, nothing.
I said, what are you doing now?
And she was like, I'm going to get some ice cream with espresso over it.
Who the fuck do you think you are, the Queen of England?
You've done nothing
and now you're getting ice cream.
At noon.
At noon.
I'm just going to get some ice cream.
There are roads to be paved.
Let's get to work here.
Oh, that's why this economy
is coming to a halt.
ACLU makes everybody feel
like they can get ice cream.
At noon.
With espresso over it.
We need the energy for it.
Anyway.
I like to put salt on my slurpees.
I'm going to start doing that now.
That actually sounds pretty good.
Yeah, this split came out.
How come slurpees don't have a
prize in them?
They do. Yours don't have
a prize in them?
Check out this shell.
That's crazy, right?
It's one of those marbled shells
that I forgot the name of the place
that makes the shells. That's awesome.
I did a write-up of it when I first saw them.
This one's like a black shell with
or a black and blue swirled shell.
Swirled throughout.
But the place who makes these makes a bunch of really awesome ones.
So they dip?
They dip them.
What's this called again?
This is a thing because they make guitars like this.
Is this world-eyeing?
It wraps around it.
Yeah.
So they dip.
I bet it goes in this way.
Yeah, I think they take it apart.
No, I don't think they take it apart.
Well, you can't dip the fucking tape in,
like the actual tape.
They take it apart, put it back together.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But then put it back together.
They take the shells apart,
take everything out.
Don't you think maybe they do that
before they put the tape in?
What are they...
No.
Where are they getting those blank ones from?
I don't know.
You got it.
You got me.
I don't know.
It seems like a fucking insane process.
Yeah.
But it's tight.
This one's especially tight because on top, a little speckled green there.
On top of the black and blue swirl is also like a stamp or maybe a silkscreen of the
project names on both sides in white.
I remember seeing, watching people do this on YouTube,
whatever this process is called, and it's crazy.
For like guitars and stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they could take a guitar body and dip it in the baby pool of it.
Yeah, that's nuts.
There's people that do like a homemade version of it.
Oh, yeah, I know.
It's really, really, really bad.
With the spray paint.
Oh, what?
And they just like, what, spray it on the water? So, yeah, they spray it on the water and it's really, really, really bad. With the spray paint. Oh, what? And they just, like, what?
Spray it on the water?
So, yeah, they spray it on the water,
and it's so bad.
The one that I saw,
this dude's, like, doing it, like, in his garage,
and in the background,
it's just, like, his family won't shut the fuck up.
Does it work?
It looks awful.
If you spray paint on the water?
No, it looks awful.
Really?
Yeah, horrible.
I'm going to experiment with that.
Do you ever watch, like, a YouTube video?
Don't experiment too much.
You ever watch a YouTube video
where a person's, like, hey, guys, how's this going? Don't experiment too much. Do you ever watch a YouTube video where a person's like,
Hey guys, how's this going?
Sorry about the quality today.
I'm not feeling too good.
Just record it another time, man.
No, they've got to get that video out there.
Get that content out there.
What are you talking about doing another time?
This is how you dig an 8x7 hole in Minecraft.
I mean, these people have videos every week.
I love when they have
like a cold and they're like,
pfft.
Yeah.
You have followers
that you need to appease.
There's like a door.
It's like,
you're going to go
through this door right here
and then,
hold on,
let me go back.
All right.
Hold on,
let me go back.
All right,
so here you are.
Hold on,
let me repeat.
Do, do, do, do.
All right.
So what you're going to do here, guys.
Shut up!
You're going to get the key.
You should already have the key.
Shut up!
I forgot the key back there.
Go, boy!
I can't get the key.
I can't listen to my headphones.
It sounds so disgusting.
It is disgusting.
Yeah, the mouth sounds.
That part. Turn the treble disgusting. It is disgusting. Yeah, the mouth sounds.
Turn the trouble up. Turn me up.
Feel free to sample this
if anyone wants to use this.
Dave can't do it. Stop.
Take us out. Take me home tonight.
Come on. Candleman cake.
