this is a good one this is a fun episode let's get some sweet audio butter yeah mmm mmm we just did that

for 15 minutes mmm alright guys we love you thanks guys oh boy Mmm. Mmm. We just did that for 15 minutes. Mmm. All right, guys. We love you. Thanks, guys. Oh, boy. There's like 20 movies in it. Oh, yeah.

They stop numbering them, like, plan before time and just give them all subtitles. Yeah, yeah. Like, once it gets, like, part eight, it gets embarrassing. But, no, they're seriously, like... It's up to the cat at some point because I can't afford a dog anymore. I shit you not. Of my limited knowledge of the Air Bud franchise, it has evolved into an Air Buddy series,

which is a bunch of puppies that talk. Oh, Jesus. And they not only play sports, but have branched off into space travel. Well, that's the next logical step. Oh, yeah. It's one small step for a Bud. Show me in the real world.

Show me an episode of the real world where a dog... No, I don't know. Real World Edition. Real buddies. Pedro's there. Dog, stop grabbing hair and start getting real. It's spot racist.

True story. Bill? I did stand up on Thursday and there was this drunk couple there and I was going to end on True story. Bill? I did stand-up on Thursday, and there was this drunk couple there, and I was going to end on a story. I was like, this is a true story. And one of the girls, she goes, true story. Nice. I've tried to do that, and nobody knows what the hell I'm talking about.

Oh, really? Yeah, I've got to stop hanging out with teenagers. You've got to hang out with the drunk German girls. So many reasons to stop doing that. But that one's at the top. That's right up there behind the law. Behind the law. Tonight on the Degression Sessions.

When earbuds stop getting real and start getting behind the law. They have to have that montage at the beginning. Like, Quaaludes, hookers, whiskey. We were funneling vodka. It just shows doggy paws doing all that stuff. Separating the cocaine. Women were coming in the doors and out the windows.

Bitches everywhere. I think at one point we shot up a trout. I don't even know, man. Is that that Led Zeppelin story? Yeah, there is a Led Zeppelin story. Did they beat a groupie with a shark or something like that? I think they spanked her with some sort of shark-like fish.

Is the fish alive? I don't know. I don't know. He's going to be a guest. But if you're going to die, I guess that's the way to go. Yeah, he's the guest on next week's podcast. Yeah, you've got to get him on there. People need to know what that guy's thinking.

They interviewed him for Behind the News. Would I do it again? You're goddamn right. 70s were a different time. It's just like an old shark with an oxygen tank inside of a fish tank. Dark sunglasses even though it's night out. Those boys could party. All right, let's get down to it.

Rex Anderson. It's true. You have a beautiful voice but I need you to get even closer to that thing I can and will oh yeah don't touch that part our stuff isn't as good as your stuff that's ok I haven't

passed judgment on you so we've created a religion around you out of resentment do I have to do anything about it or do I just have to sit around and be praised? Yeah, no. Just do what our normal God does.

Just be completely ambivalent. Be non-existent. Yeah. I can try that. Yes. Just try not existing for a while, Rex. I can't promise I'll be good at it, but I'll try.

When you were a kid, did you ever try to think about what it would be like to not exist? No. Nah. Mostly just thought about exist? No. Nah. Mostly just thought about Ninja Turtles. While reading Descartes, I think, therefore I am. Same here.

I actually grew up in Harvard, so that's probably why. In Harvard. The Harvard Daycare Center. That's another shitty movie, Harvard Baby. He's a smart baby. Let him go. There's no rule. Show me the rule, boy.

We're a baby. Babies can't be smart. There was Baby Geniuses, right? There was. Oh, yes, yes. Baby Geniuses 2, lost in New York. I believe there was a sequel, and the subtitle was probably just as cheesy. Probably was.

Lost in space. I don't know if they actually talked or not. I think they did. You should do like an Air Bud Baby Genius crossover in space. Oh, yeah. That's the only logical place for those two franchises to go. Space Bud. Space Buddies. No, there is Space Buddies already.

Oh, okay. There's Treasure Buddies, I believe. Most of this information is gathered from just DVD cases at video stores that don't exist anymore. Yeah, that is where they always go, space, right? Don't they have Jason in space? Jason X? Did Freddy Krueger go to space or hell?

I think he just went to hell. I mean, we didn't see hell or anything. Both Jason and Freddy went to hell. But as Descartes used to say, hell is space. Yeah, that was it. He just wrote it down. Pinhead and the Hellraiser franchise also went to space,

as did Leprechaun. Oh, okay. From the hood to space, the Leprechaun story. But Rex, excited to have you here, sir. Yeah, I was. I'm excited to have you here, too.

Oh, thanks, man. Yeah, I'd suck if we weren't. Yeah, it would be awkward. Maybe it'd be better. It'd be a little weird. My girlfriend would to have you here too. Oh, thanks, man. I'd suck if we weren't. Maybe it'd be better. My girlfriend would be pretty confused. She let it ride. She's a nice girl. I'm glad Puppers is here too. That's what my friends call me. Mike Puppers Moran.

How the hell are you? That's in Puppers. Tell me where there's a rule book that says Mike Moran can't be a dog. That's how I got on this podcast. They're like, dude, you can't put a Mike Moran on a podcast. Show me the podcast rules, bro. Get the book.

Breaking all the rules. There are no rules, baby. That's right. That's why we love it. That's a movie in and of itself. No rules, baby. No rules, baby. That's right.

That's the baby that goes to Harvard. No rules, baby. That's right. That's the baby that goes to Harvard. No rules, baby. That's right. It's breaking down barriers for babies everywhere. Yeah. Right. Yeah, baby rights. Baby rights.

Baby do rights. Baby. Baby Dudley do rights. Baby. Baby Dudley. It's like Fred Frazier's face on a baby's body. Prequel. Prequel.

I like it. Have you ever met anyone named Dudley? I've met a lot of do rights. In real life. But not a Dudley. Right. Not in real life. Oncequel. Prequel. I like it. You ever met anyone named Dudley? I've met a lot of do-rights. In real life. But not a Dudley. Right. Not in real life. Once in a video game.

Once. Yeah. There's Dudley from Street Fighter 4. In my dreams. That's about it. I don't actually meet him because he doesn't exist. Right. Let me write that down.

He doesn't? This is blown. God damn it. Rex. Sorry. No, Rex, I'm excited for you to be here. Yeah, you're in trouble. Podcast demerits.

Written down. Sad face on a little legal notepad. Yep. A legal notepad. It's a lawyer. A legal notepad. A legal notepad. Josh Coderna was caught with an illegal notepad.

The cops come in, you got to hide all your notepads and weed. Quick, flush the notepad. Illegal notepad. Josh Coderna was caught with an illegal notepad. The cops come in, you got to hide all your notepads and weed. Quick, flush the notepad. Flush it. Eat it. Eat it. Pop it. Pull it. Twist it.

Rex, you're a voiceover fella. I'm a voiceover felon. That's correct. You use illegal notepads while you do voiceover. It is. I am at large. And you play in bands. I play in some bands.

You're a member of the bros. Aren't we all? I think so. I haven't signed a paper. You release tens of people strong. There's actually more people than that in the world. That's not part of our mission statement. Okay.

Yeah. Okay. Acknowledging the existence of other people. That's that group thing kicking in. Before you know it, the bros is going to be sipping Kool-Aid and stocking weaponry. I hope we can afford Kool-Aid sometime soon. Yeah. Wearing matching Nikes and sweatpants and stuff.

Getting ourselves into a biodome type situation. I wonder what the weirdest... That's the second biodome reference I've heard tonight. I wonder what the weirdest group to be. Always do. Yeah, I think that's so weird. Like nothing ever comes to mind. Celebrity deaths and biodome references.

I wonder what's the weirdest thing that ever evolved into a cult. Christianity? Yeah. Well, that's, I mean, that's not that weird. Is that too hot button an issue for us to delve into? Oh, yeah. Hot button.

Should we have a hot button? We should. Can I have like a sizzling sound? Why would you have a cow? Hot button. We murder a cow every time somebody says a hot button issue. It's all good. Hot button issue. It's all good.

Hot button issue. Hot button tissues. Wait. Take it from the top. You're going too far with the... What is that, a rhyming pun? Hot button tissues? Yeah, like an example like that. I don't know.

I was just having fun. I was about to say hot button, but then I had to explain what rice is go ahead go ahead tell us tell us about that band they're a band in uh california all right thanks i think they broke up and what probably a band called thrice there was a band called thrice yeah it was uh i might still be again yeah i don't know i saw them at uh uh umbc where i attended they were opening for brand new and uh they were playing and uh most of the crowd wasn't really moving at all during all their songs and uh but they still sounded pretty good uh they finished one song and as like the music's fading and everybody's kind of like tuning the the singer's about to go to the mic to like talk to the crowd and all the way in the back you hear somebody go play deadbolt you fucking assholes which is like one of their

ended their set with deadbolt since they wrote it like i saw him like five times they always play it just like be patient i know but that's kind of what the guy said but he seemed kind of embarrassed he was like okay uh we'll get to it soon. It felt so bad for him. I don't understand how you can go from insulting the people on stage into cheering them on. It's like, I fucking love you, you sex of shit.

Asshole, get to the part where I can tell you how great you are. I can't wait to rock out to that fucking song, you pricks. Jesus. God damn it, I love you. But not right now. Play fucking Deadbolt.

Yeah, that's my Thrice story. That was a good Thrice story. Hey, thank you. Nothing notable has ever happened while I've seen Thrice. Well, yeah. Except one time, I think their drummer was in the hospital, so they had to play an impromptu acoustic show at Warped Tour. Acoustic punk rock metal show.

How'd that go? It was considerably slower than their normal show, and as a result, they probably played one less song. But it was fine. Did you yell out, play Deadbolt, you fucking assholes? I said it like ten times. In the middle of their songs? Yeah.

Here's a new one. I did it in the middle of Deadbolt, and then when they did the new ending live, I'm just like, go back to the beginning and play it right. This isn't part of the song. Play the old version, you fuck. Deadbolt or Deadpool? Deadbolt, I'm pretty sure.

Deadbolt, yes. Was this a popular rock and roll song? I'm not familiar with it. I'm sure it reached some college list of some sort at some point. But probably, I don't know. I'm going to let the dog out. Keep bantering about Thrice. That certainly reached the list.

So. So anyway, Josh let the dogs out. Who? It was me. Who? Case closed. At long last. Email the Baja men.

You know the Baja men were around for like a decade before they broke with Who Let the Dogs Out? You know they stole Who Let the Dogs Out from a reggae band in Jamaica? Oh, boy. Wow. Yeah. Well, they are a reggae band in Jamaica. Yeah, I think they stole it from a different one, though.

See, there's where they went wrong. They should have stolen it from someone like in Arizona or something. They should have stolen it from their imaginations. Oh, right. That's the way to go, right? Or at least borrow. Right. At least give them credit.

Sure, sure. First and foremost, I would like to thank my mind for all of its help. Uh-huh. For creating the rest of you to interact with. I should mention

I'm a solipsist. It's all good. Where in the heck did you get that echo? Is that like Lana Del Rey or something? It's all good Where in the heck did you get that echo? Is that like Lana Del Rey or something? It's all good It's all good All teenagers sound the same at that age They're all pink on the inside

Right? You hope Every once in a while you get one that's just black Oh, what happened to this one? Bubbly and it smells awful Black and bubbly That's how I describe myself in my dating profiles Oh, what happened to this one? Bubbly and it smells awful. Black and bubbly. That's how I describe myself in my dating profiles.

Happened to me with a can of tuna fish once. Instead of tuna fish, which I was really looking forward to having, I opened it up and it was just about that much of black bile that made me vomit the second it hit my nose. Oh, my God. How did it taste? Pretty good, actually. Once you get past its smell, it wasn't half bad. Well, it's a big part of taste.

It is. Wow. So they told me. Was that probably the worst smell you've ever smelled? It absolutely was. Okay. The taste was somewhere in the middle of all things I've tasted. Sure.

But the smell was pretty much. Absolutely. That tops the list. Absolutely. Rex, you're also... Are you one of the creators of Meanwhile at the Skull Base? Meanwhile at the Skull Base happened thusly. Here we go.

I'm not even going to say what it is before I talk about how it was made. Meanwhile at the Skull Base was a comic book written by Brian Preston. Funny man. Funny dude. Past guest. Not past. He's past.

He's dead. He is dead. Rest in peace. He plays Dwayne Kelly, our main character. From heaven. He got a very good setup up there. I can't complain. Good tones. He wrote this comic book. Got some pages done. The artist he was using got signed blew up

couldn't do the project anymore Tommy Simbazo also a dead guest he's also dead, he's also a guest he's a ghost guest ghost do you have guest ghosts on this show often? all the time, Jesus Christ get in here

I knew that fourth mic was set up for someone he doesn't like to sit down either no one just slapped class act he stands we leave a mic open for elijah as is the custom with most podcasts nice i gotta start doing that yeah that's what we're doing wrong well you know it's a learning process it is it is but yeah meanwhile the skull base meanwhile started it meanwhile in the story uh tommy told told Brian to make a podcast. They told me I got to pick my character, which of course I went with Doomcock. Of course. Sight unseen.

Just by the name? Just by the name alone. So yeah, then I came on as the audio producer and furnisher of a house for people to record in. And the rest is history. Can history happen? I mean, it was a month ago when we launched. I don't know. It's a statute of limitations.

Did it happen next, like later? Next later. It will. Then it's history. Okay. It's history. It's future history. Yeah.

So it's a podcast, but it's kind of like an audio comic book now it's the best way I would describe it it's like a radio play yeah in the vein of Thrilling Adventure Hour but we don't do it live

and we have a lot more sound effects try to you know build each scene yeah sonically soundscapes Rex does a great job

with that doing all the background noises and things like that which I make all of them with my mouth. Yeah, you do a good job. Let's hear people walking down a hallway.

No, no, no, but do it with your mouth. Don't use an electronic device. Oh, my God, he is. Oh, boy. Okay. All right, now let me hear you say if somebody yells out, hey. Hey. Nice. That right. Now, let me hear you say if somebody yells out, hey. Hey. Nice.

Okay. That sounds just like a person. Let me hear what it sounds like with a chicken repeatedly farting. Hey. No. Whoa. Whoa. Did you grow up on a farm?

I grew up as a farm. Okay. Because I noticed you didn't flush the toilet. For like micro-oaks. Oh, sorry. I don't know. I grew up on a farm. I don Because I noticed you didn't flush the toilet. For like micro-excess. Oh, sorry. I don't know. I grew up on a farm. I don't know the rules of the house here.

Rules of the... Do you guys poop in toilets here? Yeah, I know. I told you. I usually use lamps and... Shoes. Ottomans and other assorted furniture. Right.

I shit all over the Ottoman Empire. Where's the weirdest place you've ever had to shit? Besides the Ottoman Empire. Where's the weirdest place you've ever had to shit? Besides the Ottoman Empire. Where I actually did like to completion poop? Or I've had to shit in lots of places, but I didn't poop there. That you actually did shit. Oh. Do you have any partial

poops? No. Farting does not count. I still haven't sharted or pooped my pants at this stage. That's not what we're talking about. Well, I'm just clarifying for our guest here. And also, I don't know the weirdest. Mr. Big Shot over there. Weirdest place.

Sitting on his high horse. Is it lonely up there on your pedestal? Oh, I've never shit my pants. I don't know. Weirdest place I've ever pooped. Girls' bathroom? I don't know. Weirdest place I've ever pooped. What's on my... Girls' bathroom? I don't know.

Really? I had to take a dump behind the Blockbuster once up on 40th. Oh. I used to be there. Wow. Rex?

I think I went in the woods once near a creek. Uh-huh. I didn't want to walk all the way home. What'd you wipe with? Leaves and unfortunately a twig that i didn't see

shout out to that that's why most people uh don't really care for me too much i'd get rid of it but that twigs my good luck charm now i don't know how to live without it that's right um i'm so good at business that's your your business model. You have a book. Business tweak. I had friends that would poop in random places because they thought it was funny. Yeah, they pooped in a Borders, places like that. In a Borders bag. Someone was boarding it. No, yeah, like the aisle of a Borders bookstore.

No way. How do you get away with like the aisle of a Borders bookstore. No way. Yeah. How do you get away with that? They would just poop and leave. Was it after Borders closed down? It made it even worse, yeah. No, this is while Borders was in its prime. Like, man, when Barnes & Noble picks this building up, they're going to be in for a surprise.

So what if you get caught? I don't know. Mall security. I mean, what can they do? I don't know. Call the cops? Just leave. That is

good advice for dealing with a mall cop. They never stop you for anything. Just leave. Yeah, they don't have any real power. They really don't. No. Like, hey, I got a big old flashlight with D batteries in it. Stay here. It's true. Now they have to use their cell phones yeah

with the light on it um yeah all right so skull base is uh there's one and a half episodes out well there's one whole episode right one mini so mini so uh next episode drops when is this airing uh this will probably be early next week on the 11th or 12th. All right. So it's one of those days. Okay. What is it? 12th of Tuesday?

One of those days. Yeah. Tuesday. So it might have dropped today. If you're listening to this, don't stop listening to this to go listen to that. But listen to that immediately after this. Yeah. Immediately after.

Right. Like, don't even stop. Just you got to be on top of it. Continual stream. As soon as there's a zero, colon, zero, zero. Try to have zero silence in between. Yeah. See if you can make it as minimally gapped as possible.

Yeah, like a poop in a border. Just continual stream. Treat yourself. And if a cop fucks with you, run. Just run. Hey, you listen to Meanwhile at the Skull Base? Run. Get out. Go. Don cop fucks with you, run, just run, run. Hey, you listen to meanwhile, the skull base run, get out,

go. Let him listen to nightgown sessions at a border. And they just leave. Yeah. I recommend everybody do that. Yeah. Hang out behind a seven 11 and just listen to our podcast. Right.

Cop show up, run, grab the iPod. Uh, but yeah, I'm, I'm loving being a part of part of it i have a small part but that's fine with me well and i feel bad there's always room for expansion there's no uh there's no small roles only croissants minimal roles only small people like josh if you were just an inch taller, he would be a principal. But you're a background player. No, I love it.

I just show up, record a couple lines, and I'm done. Because with this podcast, I've got to edit it and post it. That's why I feel bad for you, you poor son of a bitch. It's all right. It keeps me busy, I guess. It keeps the madness at bay. It keeps you young. Good.

It actually does the opposite of that. It keeps you young again. It stresses you out, right? I've gotten more Freudian as I've made, meanwhile, the skull base. I'm way attracted. Young tendencies still rear their collective unconscious heads. Maybe Socratic. More and more attracted to my mom as I record this podcast. Yeah, they hear you.

So, yeah, so that's going good. So be on the lookout for that as it grows. And also do the voiceover work. I want to talk about this. How did you get into voiceover? How, indeed. Actually, let me James Lipton you a little bit. Rex, is Doomcock around?

Can we speak to Doomcock? Doomcock is always around. He lives inside my throat. Oh, okay. Thanks, Rex. Not actually in character. I'm just doing the voice. A simple yes would, okay. Thanks, Rex. Not actually in character. I'm just doing the voice. A simple yes would have sufficed, Rex.

Excuse me, Mr. Cock. I was kind of an introvert growing up. I don't really have any social cues. He's pooping on the floor, everybody. I see your faces there. You have this upturned-ness to your mouths I don't understand what that means what is this opposite frown

are you hungry? do you need to go to sleep? are you hungry? do you need a Tamagotchi? do I need to change you? do I need to shake you like the Pikachu Tamagotchi? do you want to fight another Tamagotchi?

Tamagotchi's fight? I don't know could you? I never had a Tamagotchi I thought you could I thought you? I don't know. Could you? I never had a Tamagotchi. I thought you could. I thought you could connect them and they could fight or something. Really? Why would they want to fight?

And who's my fight? Because it's a cruel, cruel world. I think it's the headphones. It's the jack. It's all jacked up. This is a car, Jack. Headphones are getting ripped. Okay, so Doomcock showed up

That's nice I think I was And then he left Then he's gone He had to go do Whatever supervillain HR Department bosses do I wouldn't know

Yeah Skull Base is great It is It's the The fun like minutia Behind an evil Like corporation Yeah

Is he old? I don't know. I don't think. I feel like he was born the way he looks. I think my memory of Gorbachev just got translated over to Putin because I wasn't really paying attention. I'm like, God, that guy's been there forever. You completely skipped a prime minister. I did.

That's how much I don't know about Russia. 90s guy. 90s, is that his name? What was his name? He had a big drunken head. He had a giant t-shirt and half his head was shaved. He could stop time and talk to the camera. Sure.

Talked on a big cell phone. It was really cool at the time. He just kept yelling, it's a mobile phone. What? No, his name was, I can't remember. He just kept yelling, it's a mobile phone. What? No, his name was... Yeltsin. Boris Yeltsin. Yeah, Yeltsin.

I thought he was a dancer or something. Well, that's it, man. He danced his way to the top of the Kremlin. Literally. And then they're like, fuck, make him a president. He was on the last season of Dancing with the Stars,

actually, main appearance. That guy can dance like a motherfucker. Let's make him a president. Gorbachev is dead, right? He has to be. Is Yelts? I don't know. We'll have to look it up.

Is that a marriage tattoo? It is. Really? It's a branding, really. It says, I'm married on his ring finger. What made you decide to do that? Well, it's not really, no one really decides to get branded. Really? You just, you're forced into it you're tied down someone just got a hot iron in front of you generally speaking

Once I make a decision, I'm not backing out. So how long have you been married? I've been married almost two years. And how many times? Just the once.

Just the once. And that's all it's going to take for old Duder over here. You're positive she's listening, aren't you? She's right behind me. Her name is in the closet. She sounds like this. Oh, hey, honey. She's a Tamagotchi.

I got her in my pocket. That's right. Shake her up. That's right. Gotta shake her up for that energy. Shake her up. Shake her up. Where'd you meet your wife?

I met her at Joe Squared. Oh, yeah? Really? Shout out public, public, local pizzeria. I thought you were going to say public rest troops. I was taking a shit at Joe Squared.

I was taking a shit at Joe Squared. I was taking a shit at Joe Squared. The borders had just closed down across the street. Where else am I supposed to poop in this economy? That's right. In these trying times.

Yeah, I went to go, I was, what was I doing? Going to see the Motorets, I guess. Okay. And she was there with her friend Rachel, who is her bandmate in Gunwhip Gone. It's a phenomenal cabaret rock band who is playing in an hour at Sidebar. So guys, this means wrap it up.

Okay. Not really, though. I thought it meant extend it. I'm actually wrapping up an extension cable. Sorry, we have extension cables all over the place. I don't know. It's a rat's nest. It is my favorite kind of cable, though.

It is. It is. Sure. I know that. I like confirming. I'm confirming your preference. You read the Wikipedia page. Confirm.

That's right. You heard it here first, folks. Yeah, and then I went and hit on her and uh didn't work how'd that go what's your Italy let's recreate we could say shitily on this podcast right even though you're saying she's Italian well no pun intended for my uh what's your purpose what was your technique for for approaching uh let's see i told uh my buddy JD to compost Let's see if I go home alone tonight And then I got up with my cocky stride And my musky odor

And I walked over and started talking to her about I think she had a jazz piano book in front of her I was like yeah I play piano I don't think I can play piano But she's like yeah whatever I can see why you got I don't fucking play piano I was just immediately checking myself in Andrew Dice Clay's voice.

Oh! Oh! I don't fucking play piano over here. Ebeneez and I already suck my dick. Yeah, she laughed confused and sort of irritated and just followed her band around. And nine months later, she finally started talking to me. Nine months later, her baby was born.

Yeah. A conversation baby. A load of fun. She was right across the street from Joe's Square back when it existed. True. What the hell was a load of fun? It was just like a big communal space. They used it for shows.

I think Jason Rehm's video was recorded there now that I think about it it's all comedy in the basement once just kind of a multi-purpose was that a 98 rock show? no I'm just kidding because they have a show called Always in the Basement I don't even

I feel bad I forget what the comedian was Yakov Smirnoff? it wasn't Yakov Smirnoff it wasn't anyone famous it's a jay leno i'm just gonna say it's john bennett even though it wasn't he doesn't do stand-up which he should he should he's so fun really he never does stand-up i think he's maybe like dabbled here and there but yeah he's done like the sidebar one yeah Yeah, the open mics and stuff. Remember him tweeting about that? Oh, boy.

The tweets from John Bennett. Yes, yes. Ooh, lord. Ladies, get your tweets on. Show us your tweets, ladies. Show us your big tweets. Let me see them hashtags. All right, so basically you just broke down her defenses. Pretty much. She was married at the time, so it took a little longer. So she has just broke down her defenses. Pretty much.

She was married at the time, so it took a little longer. So she has two tattoos on her finger. One's a giant X. She just wrote whoops on top of that? Just kidding. She just had the tattoo artist just scribble all over it like she was just... It's like a black and green finger tattooing yeah so oh okay so yeah uh took a minute and finally uh yeah broke through all barriers no all reason and uh here we are that's

awesome man yeah congrats thanks uh she and bros a lot of hard work and dedication but i paid off in the end yes you could be talking about a sports game as well isn Took a lot of hard work and dedication, but paid off in the end. Yes. You could be talking about a sports game as well. No, we just went out there and did a few. In the end, isn't love a sports game? We got a pretty good ball club. I think we put in the training hours. Made some adjustments at halftime, and now we're married. I mean, I tried to work a screenplay out of the whole situation,

but it really ended up just being angels in the outfield. Yeah, that happens. It's going to happen. Absolutely. It's going to happen. You got any air buddies on the way? Got some air buddies in the outfield. Yeah, that happens. It's going to happen. Absolutely. It's going to happen. You got any air buddies on the way? Got some air buddies in the way. In the way.

In the way. A little Jungian slip there. My efforts to hit on her still. She has children with this other guy. Kids are there in the future. Yeah. You guys are buying. It's like being poor.

Scientists have yet to discover exactly how to clone a kid there's that point where it's like uh yeah it's it's probably a good time to divert 90 of our resources to something that won't have any uh benefit and well you know these terms right it's just kind of hard to pull the trigger so we're kind of like sure it's gonna happen it's gonna happen like trigger. So we're kind of like, if it's going to happen, it's going to happen accidentally, even though we want kids. If you want kids, you have to have kids. I don't see the point where it's just like, okay, now we can. It's never the right time.

You'll never be able to afford it. You just do it. Like $300,000 in the bank. Like, let's have a baby now. It's like, that's never going to happen. You just do it. You just do it, and then your life changes. I know, because I have a lot of kids.

Right. No, I don't really. I was wondering, they're never going to happen. You just do it. You just do it, and then your life changes. I know, because I have a lot of kids. Right. No, I don't really. I was wondering, they're really quiet. Like, you've really trained them well. You've got about eight or nine kids. Everybody assumes that Josh and I live together like Bert and Ernie. You don't? No, we live together like the odd couple.

Yeah, we don't live together. Which one of you is Felix, and which one is Oscar? Mike, answer carefully. Felix is the one that says, that's my mama, right? Yeah, he's the black cat. What? Yeah, he has that clock made after him. Wait, these people, what?

Felix the cat? The one that lives in the trash can. Yeah. Oh, okay. I'm definitely Oscar. Okay. Yeah, I'm a piece of shit. So you're the fun-loving hijinks creating Black Cat.

I mean, we would move in together, but you're always eating cookies in the damn bed, Mike. Well, I mean, it's, you know. I didn't realize this was Soviet Russia. Excuse me. Pardon me. No, excuse me for wanting to not sleep on our crumbs. Yeah, well, you know, maybe we should just talk about this later. I'm getting my tattoo removed.

I think your trademarks are owned by two different companies, so you probably can't be allowed in the same house. Oh, okay. What do we got here? Copyright lawyer? Yeah. A little bit. Yeah, I know.

Josh is actually probably going to create his own version of Mike under his copy. Right. Apparently, I don't have rights to the name. Apparently, that's weird. That's how it works. Mike Moran, created by Josh Caterna. All right. So alright so yeah and I I hate that stuff

because I work in an office and then you know like oh you have a girlfriend blah blah blah like the getting to know you stuff like how long you guys been together like a few years

like uh oh pointing to the ring finger like trying to get married or you have her finger uh oh hey yes I finger her punch

Christ my boss he's just sniffing his fingers. No, it'd be funny if they're pointing to the finger and you think that means do you finger her butt. Yeah, I know. That's what I'm saying. Like sniffing them and yeah, I'm with you.

No, but your boss wouldn't be asking if you finger her. Actually, you just think, whatever, let's move on. I was supporting. I was yes-anding you pretty well there. Yes, and let's move on. Yes, and no I was yes-anding you pretty well there. Yes, and let's move on. That's kind of the anti-shocker motion. If you use your ring finger on her butthole, you can't do the...

It kind of throws everything else off, and you're just making a weird west side sign. Right. I don't want to get shot while I'm fingering her. That's how gangster I am. I finger chicks with a gang sign. Do the Wu-Tang symbol. I actually make it.

The blood symbol. I actually can do it with my package. That's crazy. Oh, boy. Wu-Tang deploy. Wu-Tang ain't nothing to finger with. If you think about it, it's not all that complicated. Nah.

It can happen. It can happen. Anything's possible. Yeah, like kids. When are you going to have kids, Rex? I thought we already went over that. Okay. Next Tuesday.

Month. How long does it take to make a baby? I don't think anybody knows. I think it's God's will. Yeah. I mean, God has a plan for years before. Let Jesus take the wheel. Works for everything else.

Let him if he would finally walk into the room and take the mic like he's supposed to. He's a little busy. He works mysterious ways. He's working the mysterious ways tour. Yep, very much so. All right. And now, let's see, Rex. You got so much going on.

This voiceover stuff. I'm jealous. I would love to do voiceover stuff. You do do voiceover stuff, Josh. What? Voiceover was in you the entire time. I'm the voice of Country Croc this whole time and I didn't, Josh. What? Voiceover was in you the entire time. I'm the voice of Country Croc this whole time

and I didn't know it. What? You're the voice of Krull, which was cut out of final production, but you still did a great job. Well, I mean, you're Tad Jingo.

I am doing Tad Jingo, which is fun. I've enjoyed that. That means you're officially in the club. I mean, I'm not going to pay you, but sure. I wouldn't want to. You've got to start club. I mean, I'm not going to pay you, but... Sure.

I wouldn't want to... You've got to start somewhere. I get a microphone tattooed on my ring finger. I'm a voiceover guy now, I'm pretty sure. You're also incapable of getting married at that point. Well, you know, whatever. You've got to make a choice at some point. But you do professional stuff, right?

A little bit, yeah. I started earlier this year, actually. Uh-huh. Do some video game work, do some narration, trying to break into audiobooks. I'm really at the cusp of the beginning of my career. Do you ever do LibriVox donations? Like readings of classic books that you can donate your time to?

No, because donating your time to? No, because donating your time is for losers, and you should always get paid. Money over everything. That's been my motto since the start, and it's worked out pretty well so far. This is why he was so upset about the Soviet Russia talk earlier.

Rex, let me hear you do money over everything. For the company, money over everything. Here you go. For the company, money over everything. Here you go. For the company, money over everything? Just do it. Terrible. Okay. Let's try it again.

You're doing an advertisement for the company. For the company, money over everything? Nailed it. Okay. Now, this time, do it like you're doing a commercial or something. Okay. A commercial. For the company.

It usually starts with a big fart sound not like a movie like what I just did I have a movie trailer for the company money over everything can you do something

for GMC trucks which the ones like built up GMC trucks money over everything okay can you do digression sessions

they don't live together digression sessions they don't live together. Digression sessions. They don't live together. They just sleep together. But you'll get a lot. I think we just found our new intro. That would be great. We can get it for free.

That would be $375. Every time you use it. How do you feel about the digression sessions? Say the digression sessions in your answer. I will say the digression sessions in my answer. Hey. Sorry. This got not fun for me really quick.

Yeah, sorry. It's not for everyone. I'm not sorry. You heard it here first, folks. Josh is not sorry. I'm not. I'm not. Was that Madonna we got over there or something? Those girls were dead before I got there. He's not sorry. I'm not. I'm not. Was that Madonna we got over there or something?

Those girls were dead before I got there. He's not sorry over everything. Josh Katerna. What about when they do that with movie titles? Like, Josh Katerna is not sorry. Josh Katerna is not sorry over everything. What was the stupidest one? It was like, Hugh Grant is.

Or no, Hugh Grant is. Four weddings and a funeral. it was hugh grant in love actually yes also like everyone else you can think of right you mean hugh grant's and everyone else you can think of or hugh grant is in everyone you can think of. Hugh Grant was in a stripper on the sunset. Remember that when he got arrested? Yeah, vaguely. I remember that. I only remember that because Dana Harvey did a bit on it, and I found that DVD for Lauren for her first birthday, and I had to import it from Holland.

Her first birthday. He's married to a one-year-old? She's six years old now. Oh, wait, two, because you've known her two years. She was in a prearranged marriage. She was a genius baby that played in a band. Genius baby, plays in band,

gets married, finds true love. Now there's a headline. Nine months later, a second baby is born. She was reborn inside herself. Through across the world in 20 seconds.

I married the shit out of that baby. I love you, baby. You're an actual baby. Apparently there is this phenomenon where when young women win the lottery or get a huge inheritance, all these sleazy men try to marry her

from around the world. Wait, what? I don't know. Wasn't that like a last season of Roseanne plot? Maybe. That was bizarre. And then they're like, oh no, she just wrote it all. Yeah.

Also, several years leading up to that season. Yes. It made sense. And then they're like, oh, also, their kids' husbands are switched. Yeah, yeah. It just went bonkers. That's a good way of saying the show didn't really get this stupid. DJ died in childbirth oh yeah so everyone just imagined that it was actually dj tanner was her kid the whole time cut it out dude

swamp thing came to live with they make like the the the revised version like even more insane like urkel had been orbiting their planet in a satellite all these years. Yeah, yeah. The, uh, yeah. Wait, wait. So the final season of Roseanne, is that the one where they win the lottery? Yeah, yeah. Right. Like Dan didn't die of a heart attack. Instead, they become millionaires and move to India,

and Jackie got married to a prince and they was completely nuts and did the last two seasons of Roseanne I was completely insane I love Roseanne too such a good show it devolved into like utter chaos

the last few years every stereotype you can think of for like a sitcom to go wrong yeah it did right

those all came from the last season of Roseanne they were inducted into like the annals of how to not write every other episode was like a fantasy. So bizarre. She literally jumped over a shark to cash in her lottery ticket, right?

Probably. I do remember there was an episode where they were like Steven Seagal fighting on a train or something. Yeah, they were on a speeding train. And Roseanne's taking out ninjas. What the? It got bonkers. Wow.

I think they did it under the facade of like, well, this is like, what if this happened? Like, what if the Connor family won the lottery? So on the final episode, they swept away all that ridiculousness by saying that the show existed in an alternate fictional universe that Roseanne had been writing since like the season three or four episode

where she got a writing room from the rest of the family as a gift. Yeah, I heard that Tom Arnold said initially that's what she wanted the show to be is them hitting the lottery right away. Really? Yeah, and they were like, no, that won't be too good.

Actually, the same, what we were just talking about, the thing where it's like, Mike Moran, created by Josh Kaderna, that happened to her. She was a new comic, and she just had bad representation. So when she was doing the show, she sold the rights. So it's like, Roseanne, created by, I forget the guy's name.

So she didn't own her show during the prime years. So that guy is still rich to this day. Really? Maybe she intentionally sabotaged it towards the end. Maybe, yeah. I mean, I think she was crazy too. She suffered from multiple personality disorder and stuff like that. Still a good show.

Still a good show. Great show. I think it's actually possible. My mom won't tell me who she's worked with. Wait, what? What does your mom do? She works within the psych industry oh she's a psychic eh uh-huh but somebody else told me that that means she can read minds

yes that's insane yeah and really long books um she can read the odyssey so wow like a record amount of time we're just like a general that's crazy um But somebody else who is not my mom told me that Roseanne was there and my mom worked with her. Oh, really? Yeah, like my mom

knows all of Roseanne's dark secrets. My mom will not break HIPAA laws and tell me who she's worked with because there are celebrities. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Roseanne was a big gal

but you don't have to call her a hippo. You do not have to do that. I don't know if hippopotami wrote the laws for physics and psychics. Sure, they're hungry and they eat a lot. They can't read minds. They barely have minds of their own.

I will not suffer a bad word about hippos in this house. You know hippos are responsible for more deaths than any other animal. I was just about to say that. I was just about to say Josh upholds the hippo law in his house. I do. i'm literally holding it this whole time must be exhausting not for me i'm very strong that's where he gets

those guns from yes i also buy them illegally on the internet right write out the orders on your illegal pads yeah it's all good it's all good you guys it's all good it's all good. It's all good, you guys. It's all good. It's all good. So some video game stuff, Rex. What video games have you done? What characters? Oh, I don't know. What characters? I know the company names.

I don't know the names of the games. You ever play Excitebike? I've played the theme song to Excitebike by the mini bosses on my iPod. Good. Cool. They recorded it enough times to where I finally had to hear it. It's on their new album like eight times. I don't know why.

So how does that work with the video game process? This is mostly through Voices.com. So people just post the job. You audition for it they give you a check you never figure out what game it really wouldn't you want to know that i mean kinda it's not like there's like an amateur video game industry right like they're all big releases right it's not like an indie movie or something there's like there's the mobile market and things yeah like apps for your phone yeah yeah and it's an international market too so i know some of them are only in russia somewhere in india okay um i

mean i might be notified i don't know it just hasn't happened yet right doing this a few months well i'll let you know if i hear your voice all right so what what was your main disguise as a monster what was what was your main gig before that did you decide to take the plunge and be like i want to be a voiceover guy yeah i mean i've been djing weddings for years as like a side gig while having various horrible soul crushing office jobs yeah finally about it just got a point where it's like i was out of work for a while i was getting temp gigs uh-huh less money yeah after a while you're just like yeah like something has to change like it's just you know i spent the better part of a year looking for jobs i didn't even want and not getting them yeah i was just

like yeah i've wanted to be in voiceovers for 10 years uh-huh i did murder castle with the bros and people like oh you got a cool voice and you can like act and stuff and i was like i never knew i could that's that was my first acting experience ever so i was like all right well what the hell let's just go for it and uh it's been working out pretty well so far. That's great, man. Yeah, that sucks. It's like, wait, I'm not getting the job that I don't want? Well, fuck you then.

Right. Yeah. So are you a big Morgan Freeman fan? Sure. I mean, you have to be, right? He's in every goddamn movie ever made. I'm sure within the voice acting community, he's held as like the Richard P sure i'm sure within the voice acting community he's he's held

as is like the richard pryor of that i guess i mean people feed him all the stuff he does so it's not like you know you love richard pryor because he's funny and has this material that came from him freeman reads scripts and he's just making it all up is directed you know it's like so he doesn't know he much about penguins is what you're saying. Andy Dufresne wrote a surfboard. They're like,

what? Just go with it. I use Morgan Freeman as a type of voice as a guiding point for things. You know what I mean? Yeah.

It's definitely cool that he's there and that exists. It is weird to know how some people you just want to listen. Some voices you could just listen to read the

phone book. Yeah. Got those pretty tones. I actually just bought Alec Baldwin reads the phone book. Yeah. It's good. It's good. Yeah. Alec Baldwin I like his voice. It's good. He does a podcast. I got Ernest reads the phone book. Yeah. Sucks. He's really past his prime.

He wanted to do Shakespeare but he only got the phone book I read in the audio books at Barnes and Noble I thought it'd be good read them all listened to them all taking a shit in borders

oh let me sample this while I poop on your floor very nice very nice and uh okay so you play music too yeah

playing in bands play some music well what are these bands here what do you guys play uh i've got random battles still it's the video game metal band uh-huh cover video game music make new arrangements out of like what do we got here what are we what are we rocking like i was an entertainment system for years and so now my i feel like my arrangement is kind of what i can contribute to the vgm. There's people that shred like it's insane, and I can't compete with that.

Or there's people who do it super faithfully, and it's like, well, you don't want to just do that again. So I just make arrangements where it's like, all right, these two games were in Smash Brothers together, and I'll rearrange them to where they work together as one song. Do all of the dungeon music from the first three Zeldas as one song, and try to give it more like a pop structure where there's choruses and verses. And you're doing this with a live band? Yeah. Oh, nice.

What's the band called? Two guitars, bass, piano, and drums. Random Battles. Random Battles. We'll be playing at MAGFest. Okay. Early January. Early January MAGFest.

So would you have a laptop, or how does that work i do have a laptop every day hey bro you got a car i used the car to get here cool very cool you ever uh i arrange things on the laptop but how do you how do you do it live uh we just play the parts play the notes oh i see yeah so it doesn't it's not all Oh, I see. So it's not all electronic-y. No, no, no. It's like covering. We arrange it as a full band. That's awesome.

Cool. There's tons and tons and tons of bands in that community. Yeah, what would you say it's called? What community? BGM. BGM. Gotcha. Yeah.

Tons of great bands. I've worked with. Let's see. Who was on our last album? Guys from year 2000X, This Place is Haunted, Metroid Metal. I've heard of Onomatoguchi. Onomatoguchi. I only know that. I played with those a few years ago.

Oh, really? Yeah, they're good. BitGen 2 or 3. Uh-huh. Those kids, these guys come in. They're pimp as hell. Yeah. They're going on in 10 minutes.

They're not there. We're all freaking out. JD's running around with a clipboard. And a headset. They just walk in through the back door. Don't say a word to anybody. Guitar's in hand. Just nod to him.

Just walk right up on stage. Just like, we're ready. Lay it down, plug in, play their set, and leave. Wow. That was good? I don't think a down, plug in, play their set, and leave. Wow. That was good? I don't think a single person in that band was over the age of 18 at that point. I think their mom drove them in a van to get there. Right.

Never heard from them again. Ah. All right. Utterly bizarre. So what is, in your opinion, the best video game music ever produced? I mean, like the originals. Oh, like my favorite. Like original stuff?

I mean, I love Nobuo Yamatsu. He closed MAGFest last year with his band. No, no, no, I mean, like, from actual video games. Yeah, well, he did, like, all the early Final Fantasy stuff. He did Chrono Trigger. If I had to pick, like, a soundtrack, I'd probably say A Link to the Past, Legend of Zelda. That was, like, in 64, right?

That was Super Nintendo. 1964. 1964. That was the year the video game music started. The simpler time. We're all just looking for our princess in a castle, you know?

Sometimes there's seven of them. Sometimes there's not. That's how shitty video games were like I don't know sometimes there's not you guys ever heard you could jump over

the flag what's that you could jump over the flag in Mario yeah you couldn't no you couldn't I remember that

was a popular rumor but no I did learn it took years to like dispel too because I had like video game magazines

and landlines. This is true, though. With the second controller, you could control the movement of the ducks in Duck Hunt. That fucking dog always laughing at you. I do remember hearing that you could shoot him, too. There's some rumor that you could shoot the dog. Yeah, that wasn't true either. No, you couldn't shoot the dog.

Couldn't shoot the dog. Thanks, Obama.'t true either. No, you couldn't shoot the dog. Couldn't shoot the dog. Thanks, Obama. Right? 1964. Obama failed us for the first time. By being born. Jamaican. Or whatever.

Whatever. Whatever. Whatever socialist pinko country. Like the birthers get their own genre. They get their own title. The birthers. You don't... Birther fiction?

Yeah. They're so fixated on this one criticism that they get their own name. It's weird. It's like, is this a real movement? I mean, you can't... You can't become a cult and take over. That's the end, right? There's no like...

The next third party will be the birthers. It's like there's no campaign. There's no platform. It's just like, we think he's lying. That's us. That's us guys over here. That's what we're all about. We're mainly running on that.

Do you have any facts or anything? No. All right. That's not going to slow us down. What are your thoughts on the economy? I have absolutely nothing to say. None of my business. That's what I say. Leave that for the people who... Leave it to the people

who were born here. Legally. With their legal pads. I remember when Obama had to show his birth certificate at that press conference. Just a look on his face like, I can't fucking believe I'm wasting my time doing this. The other hand, holding a newspaper from 1964 with a picture of him on the cover as a baby. look on his face like, I can't fucking believe I'm wasting my time doing this. This was given any credence. Holding a newspaper from 1964 with a picture of him

on the cover as a baby. How could it be fake? How could it? Oh, goodness. Alright, Rex. Well, we'll let you get to your lady. I will get to my lady. If I don't get to her first. I hope she's not in another house when I get

You have to get like 200 other people in the room to make them play 8 seconds worth of music. That'll be good. God, I wish people cared about my talents that much.

Yeah, I know, right? One day, Mike. It's like it's one thing to be that eccentric. It's another to make that many people go along with it. Right, yeah. I'm totally eccentric, but no one notices. I'm a total recluse. I'm just a genius who refuses to let his art come out to the world.

I sit in my house all the time. I just want to be left alone. I can't handle all the attention. It scares me. Yeah, absolutely. Don't blame me. Or at least I think it would. All right, sir.
