I don't know how to say anything else, but we started the show in Spanish with the Spanish introduction from Ryan Fernandez.

I figured Christmas Morocco Italian.

A legit source.

So yeah, it did some kind of Italian Italian.

Maybe that's how they do it over there.

Australian speaking Spanish comes out of Italian.

Yeah, kind of like the things go down the drain the opposite direction below the Hispanic Australians speak Italian down south of the Equator.

I think we've cracked the code here.

It hasn't even been one minute and already.

We've done more than we need to.

Already, something nobody's ever heard before in their lives.

Time to Go has happened.

We work with the material work.

I mean, what are you going to say?

Ye, so plausible theory it is?

It is, I would go with it.

I mean, that's a real thing, right, water goes down the drain and the opposite direction down there.

It may or it may be a myth.

That's what I was gonna say.

I've heard it, That's why I'm asking.

I've never been below the equator, so.

And if I did, I wouldn't flush, so I would never find out.

Well, Nick leaves them all when he vacation.

It sits on the other side of the upper tank.

Do you think you'd maybe try to brush your teeth once or twice or does that out?

I don't do that over the toilet normally.

Well, there's there's a drain in the sink.

Oh wow.

But does it swirl?

Depends on the water pressure and yeah.

I guess.

I mean if it backs up enough.

I'm thinking a toilet where you know there's a large amount of water that has to go somewhere.

If you fill the sink up, then I guess.

Well, toilet when you flush, it goes straight.

Down to Yeah, but it's got a significant amount of water in it.

If you're just brushing your teeth, how much water You don't fill the sink up first.

But you run the water in the sink and it swirls around.

I just get my toothbrush wet.

I'm from that newer generation.

We don't run the water.

I don't get my toothbrush wet.

Is that weird?

That is weird?

Like at three different generations of toothbrushing here in the room.

One's running the sink the whole time until it's swirling one does one and the other one no water.

Well, it's the running.

The running of the water to get swirling is when you're rinsing off the toothbrush.

Okay, I think you meant the whole time you were brushing.

You just used to do that until I started paying my own water, right right, and I lived it home.

Fuck you care?

Yeah, leave it on till tonight when I come back and do it all right.

Yeah, to leave it on all day so you're you're insured of getting hot water when you go to the shower.

Just leave the hot water running all day, warm it up.

I wonder why Mom was pissed.

Off all the time every time the water bill showed up.

So you just go straight from the toothpaste tube into your moumd I do.

Do you rinse the afterwards?

Yeah?

Yeah, but I don't.

I don't just throws it away.

I've got a new one over.

You don't just run it quickly under the water, you Yeah, I do know.

I've never encountered anybody you didn't do that.

Well, there you go till now.

I'm gonna try it tonight.

Though you'll be you'll be changed, yeah water, Maybe you won't.

Maybe you'll hate it.

I don't know, I dip mine and doctor pepper and then brush my Yeah.

All right, so back to the beginning of the show.

It's me world's nakedest man.

It's your buddy Andy, also known as America's Little Brother, about to be joined by this dancing fella he's gonna get up.

He's got something.

Do we need to uh, we have our Latin percussion instruments.

If we're doing that, then what the hell?

Yeah?

All right, let's get it, y'all.

Join the party.

Patreon dot com slash Pile of thunder.

It's one digital conga line of friends dancing around the buffet.

You're gonna love it.

Join the fiesta if you will.

There you go with the theme.

All right, So I gotta move this here and get him lined up?

Look at him?

What is he up to?

Can't is a disaster?

All right, ladies and gentlemen, here we go.

Nick Nick Pollock has entered the program, and an assist from me firing the rifle.

Like lighting the Olympic torch.

Oh I missed that?

Had to light the pot of thunder cardboard box.

That's what we have here.

Well, there's an Olympic torch.

There's a pot of thunder box.

You do what you can with your budget.

You've got an Amazon box.

There's another name on it.

A wad of unworking, string of lights behind it, unworking?

Would you pull them out to make it?

Yeah?

Yeah, that old trick.

Gotta do it.

Anything worse than Christmas lights.

I'm sorry, they're garbage.

Going to a nineteen eighties stand up routine here, garbage.

They are the worst.

And you know, pre lighted trees.

And then after a year or ship.

Stopped working.

Can you even buy a tree that's not pre lit?

I was at the story on literally everybody.

Really, jeez.

Yeah, we got one that I think it's the third year we've had it, and there's two sets, like two halves of sections that are off.

So what do you get?

Okay?

So in that case, this is what this is what I would do.

It might be overdoing it, but I would cut every little zip tie and get those things off of there and and just put lights.

That's what I suggested.

Yeah.

I did that a couple of years ago with another with a smaller tree that we have, the one that we used to have in the old Pot of Thunder studio, that skinny one that was in the corner, say, that was pre lit and it had all these little, like you said, zip ties, But this one was like these little clips that were really difficult to get off.

So I unplugged and I was cutting them all with scissors and pulling them up and just restrong terrible.

Yeah, it's a mess.

I don't understand the pre lit tree.

Well, no, I know, it's it's standard.

Now I'm guessing I don't get it.

They're game.

They're betting on a percentage of their customers throw get away and buying another one instead of keeping a tree for twenty years.

Those prices.

I could not imagine that that thought even crossing my mind.

Right, But I'm sure it's just some people.

It's like, ah, damn, the lights are out, throw the tree out, let's go get another one.

Thing that stinks is I like these lights right here that you see in the box.

Yeah, those are all from Big Lots.

So I can't get replaced.

I can't get the lights that match him.

Our Big Lots is gone.

That's it.

Every Big Lots is gone.

Some of them I think returned.

Oh really like Super Big Lots.

I read that some of them did.

They heard what is that called where the the robots combined together?

Kind of like Giant Randolph when he came back.

Yeah, that's what it is, the same thing.

Alright, Well, yeah, that's what we're dealing with too.

I don't I think I'm just gonna leave it at this point.

Do you ever try one of those little gun things you plug the lights into, works like one out of ten times and reactivates the lights.

I don't know that thing, Chris never heard of it, This little red gadget that's used for Christmas light.

But shunt gun, I think it's gone.

Is that what it's called?

Yeah, but basically you pull a ball out, plug the exposed whatever you call it, like the base, Yeah, the socket into this thing and keep pressing the button and shoots like sparks into it and it'll sometimes it'll relight them.

Sometimes, yeah, like one, I'm I'm serious.

I think one out of ten, but sometimes that whole half of the strand if you look at the bulbs that's that won't do a thing because they just they just burn out.

And people buy this ship.

Who makes it?

Apple?

Sounds like one of their products.

It's like one of those things they have on an end cap at minards where you know.

It shouldn't even be for sale if it only works one out of ten times.

Well, here's what I think it is.

It probably works with an occurrence that only happens one out of ten times.

If that makes sense.

It doesn't make sense.

It shouldn't be for sale.

It's a nice thing about it though.

It's got a little tester for bulbs.

Do you ever use that?

Yeah, on the top, that's nice.

Yeah.

I like to put it on my groin and make it beep.

Yeah exactly.

Oh yeah, to text the electricity in the wire too.

It's a multifaceted tool.

One of those jokes that my wife can't get enough of every single day every year.

What me putting it on my groin and making it beep.

Zero reaction every time I do it, and I haven't stopped.

Well, you know, running gags or they take a little while to grow on you.

That's true, and then it's like, all right, I'm familiar with this.

Eventually becomes funny.

It's hilarious, you know, speaking of groins migroin specifically, I wanted to tell you guys a story something that happened the other day.

I was in a bathroom, public restroom.

It was a work bathroom, so in there I'm gonna pee a toilet, not a urinal, and there's like a like a towel wrack whatever you call a towel rod in front of me, so it's protruding a little from the wall.

Right, and I'm about to be and I see it.

There's a fly on it, like an eye level with me, right, So I take my pants down, take my wiener out the fly.

It's one look, falls off the towel, rack right into the toilet, drop dead at the sight of my penis.

What does that mean?

What happened?

I would take it as a compliment.

Frankly, timing was perfect.

Just died.

Yeah, it might have been dead.

That's the first flight to have a heart attack.

Ever, it might have been dead, and the timing was perfect with me standing there and some a gust of wind.

I don't know what happened knocked it down.

Unless you had a lot of asparagus and like a something about the fumes.

Yeah, drop dead, fell right into the toilet.

Dead, rest in peace to that fly.

Amazing.

Yeah, I'm taking it as a compliment.

What a way to go.

Yeah, that's true.

Last thing he saw looking at it, human penis, It's time to go.

I've done it all.

It's the lasting on my bucket list.

Yeah, it's the flyes equivalent of going out like end Twistle, basically the ultimate rock star death.

This fly experienced.

It flies like you're not going to do it.

It's last last century experience on the planet was to see and these bears.

It saw it like through a kaleidoscope, exactly eighty angles coming out.

Saw it from above and it started coming down fast.

People crying.

I see that from a ball.

I see this and the dick, I see this from a ball.

Is there any chance the fly was revived after being flushed and it's telling this story to a friends.

Well, that's an adventure man.

There's a fly superstar fly director working on a screenplay for that.

Story, you know, the ultimate fly death.

That's pretty unbelievable.

Oh thanks for sharing.

Yeah, you guys needed to hear that, so you couldn't share that with anyone else.

And shared it to the entire planet.

Oh it's different.

Who's the third voice that we're hearing?

Oh my gosh, how did I forget to do that?

We got distracted with all that nonsense with the dead fly.

Two knicks immediate left.

You want him?

We got him?

God can have it.

Every day?

Can hen get out of our way?

Yeah?

You hands together for the breakout star of the podcast Medium, Chris El's in the house.

Hm hmm.

Here we are off to a weird start.

It's that time of year.

We've got a couple of gifts and to us to do.

You got a pile of stone?

Yeah right, yeah, we do a very nice list roon about the studio.

Yeah, so maybe Nick wants to be gift man over there?

Should we do that right now?

Sure?

What the hell?

Where do you want to do bake treats?

What are we doing?

Well?

You call it?

You know what if you want to do the treats while I get the the gifts prepared.

All right, let's do it.

Big gifts prepared.

He said, Hey, well you gotta you know, I assume one of these is for Chris.

Once for Chris.

Here you go, Chris, I got a cup for you.

It might be a little hot warm.

Okay, that's good, that's a good sig.

Look at this.

You got a little peppermint paper cup with a plastic lid on top.

You find out what it is.

There's a little pool tab here.

What kind of fancy cup is this?

So it looks like it's some kind of hot chocolate correct with a little black flex of something.

Well, that's vanilla bean.

Okay, So don't be weirded out by that.

Okay, be weirded out.

Oh what if you do?

Nick?

What did you do?

Full disclosure, I tried this the other day.

I wanted to make sure it was actually good.

I enjoyed it.

Apparently it's well.

People are saying it's viral quote unquote viral for gut health, a gut health drink.

This is bone broth hot chocolate.

Jesus, I think mine has a bone in it.

I just had a hard thing that was in there.

I think there's a toenail.

There's another dead fly dick.

So yeah, bone broth hot cocoa supposed to beak good for you.

My wife, UH read about it somewhere and probably not thinking I would make it for you.

Guys told me about it, and uh, I'm.

I have to talk to her about Well, what did you try it?

It's good.

I would never have suspected that it had.

Any Yeah, so it's got, it's got.

I got beef bone broth because it said you could use chicken or beef, and then I read up which one would be better, and I came to the conclusion that beef would probably be better.

So what's good about it as far as the health benefits?

So there's no sugar in it.

The sweetener is pure maple syrup, which is, you know, a little more liquid e maple syrup, and it's just kind of more basic ingredients.

I guess it's just like milk, the broth, vanilla, cocoa powder I think that was about it really, and the syrup.

So yeah, it's base sick stuff.

I guess it's supposed to be.

They can keep seeing the phrase gut health for gut.

Health, And it's funny you said that thing about h it's a viral thing.

Whether it actually is or not, I don't know, but I.

Just think it's funny because I'm not like tuned into what's happening at all with those types of things as far as like a viral eating sensation.

But that's the thing that comes up at work.

Sometimes it's like, Oh, there's this uh taco place going viral we're going to order today.

I'm like, yeah, I don't know, no idea, Okay, I guess like everyone, it's going viral.

We got Why don't you just say there's this taco place we're going to order from.

Why is the language?

I don't know.

I know, I know it is, but it doesn't need to be nobody cares.

Well.

It's like disco music and everything else.

It gets watered down.

The word, the word viral.

I'm sure it's less meaning influencer, and.

I'm sure it's less so than it actually is these days.

They're no question.

It just means I saw this looks good.

A guy, a guy I know, told me about it used to be.

Known as advertising.

How you found out about ship back commercial?

A ka, it's viral gone viral.

It's literally the same here, you're right though, That's all it is.

It's some way it got onto people's timelines, which means advertising.

I word amount whatever.

That's well.

I hope you guys enjoy your hot cocoa.

And you're not feeling it.

No, not take one more sip.

But I don't know.

It doesn't taste that great to me.

Yeah, I'm not feeling He's done.

Okay, would you have what would you have thought if you never said what was in it?

What would you be thinking of the same thing this is?

Whoever, whatever brand of hot cocoa this is.

I'm not, you know, indulging in it ever again.

Yeah, okay, and I think it's good.

I think it almost tastes like I don't know.

I get the bone like there's like a little bit of a saltiness to Yeah.

I think that's really all that you can detect from it.

Yeah.

I mean, obviously, if you were going to make a really good whatever unhealthy something that's bad for my gut hot chocolate, it would taste better.

It would be like three times thicker than of course.

But you know I'm here for it.

How's that?

Well, I might drink, Chris, it depends how the show goes.

Yeah, you're welcome to it.

All right, Well, I think this is Andy's If I'm not.

I got a gift, a personal gift.

I thought it was one gift.

For well, there's there's this, which I believe is for all of us.

Yes, which we could do that one second.

Then I believe that's for Andy.

This is from our friend Tony Griggs.

Oh wow, this is great.

Eight.

This is from Tony.

Yeah, Tony, thank you so much.

I've been meaning to get around to ordering this.

I have that book.

I read it.

What is it?

It is the Importance of Being Earnest about Jim Varney, the actor who played Earnest.

And this I believe is for Chris.

Written by Justin Lloyd Jim's nephew.

His nephew.

I believe you're making a documentary based on it.

I believe Ernest should be bigger.

It's a crime.

What's happened to Ernest in the last twenty five years?

Well, whose fault is that?

So you got a bad agent or what's the deal?

Be a state of earnest?

Yeah it could be.

Yeah, I don't know.

I'm not picking on them.

But me that knife?

Would you go over there?

Yeah?

That's a good book.

All right, thank you?

I reading it.

Thank you, Tony, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Speaking of books, I'll do mine next.

Since Chris needs a moment to open his mind's ready to go this I have.

I'm a fan of this character.

There's a Nicholas Cage vehicle coming out the Spider Man.

You are you were talking?

I don't have this book, so I'm very excited.

Think so that's what the Nicholas Cage movie is based on.

Yeah, it's on this character.

So it's it's like a nineteen thirties version of Spider Man.

So Tony Griggs sent all this ron He did almost enough to make me forget that he's a blue oyster.

Could fan I just can't get past that.

But whatever, to each their own.

I guess, uh said, there befo we got here.

We got a mug.

Oh look at that.

It's just simple Detroit Lions mug and classy.

That is nice, nice matt black finish to it.

Yeah, that's a solid piece.

You put your hot chocolate in there.

Here, I'll pour it in their front.

To kind of desecrate this fine thing with this here.

You want that?

Take sure, thank you.

And he's gonna have so much gut health it's not even funny.

I need it.

Actually, I've been doing better lately.

Good for you.

I don't want to alarm you guys.

So this is I believe the first package that I've ever received with the picture of King Charles on it.

I don't think I've ever seen that.

But he's on the stand, he's over here or whatever you call it.

They probably have a cooler word for it.

Yeah, yeah, I believe last time it was still wait was Queen?

Was that this year or that she passed or was it last year?

I don't know either way.

Maybe this is the second time we've gotten one with him.

But this, I mean, I think I know who it's from.

And you know it says on the back it's from Colin Taco bell Ah.

Yes, our dear friend buddy, who has sent us a gift the last couple of years.

And I believe this is the updated version of that gift.

But another calendar, that's what I'm guessing.

It sure seems to be.

I'm just making sure I don't accidentally omit anything that's in here.

Nope, nope.

Good So the last couple of years he sent us a calendar made with each month has a custom pot of thunder that he's taken from Not.

So oh, this is a nice piece right here.

Nineteen kiss, nineteen eighty seven the official calendar.

It sure looks like it.

Wow, does nineteen eighty seven?

Yeah, it's in good shape too.

Does it link up with twenty twenty six?

That was my question?

Does dates sync up?

Yeah?

I guess we'll find out.

What are we looking at?

If not what you st New Year's Even New Year's Day is Thursday.

Thursday, it seems Christmas.

Okay, So let's see.

I'm gonna be careful with this.

Nope, Nope, it's not.

But that's okay.

It doesn't matter.

You can barely see the date it's like a huge picture, but like the calendar party.

Oh yeah, it's more about the picture.

Yeah, look at this.

Oh yeah, look at what you wake up to on a look at the proportion of your's day, the proportion of photo to day's no one cares about the day.

Plenty of chest here suggestive.

Uh, let's see here other than gene Je March.

Actually yeah, this is this is like in great shape too.

Wow.

Wow.

Thank you, Colin, thank you, thank you, thank you, Tony, thank you Colin.

Yeah, and if you want to send a gift, I'm kidding.

You don't have to send at but if you do, thank you very much appreciate it.

You don't feel pressured.

We very much appreciate it.

Here and we've got another gift coming for you.

I can't believe it.

We're going to the listener submission list, which you can access on Pot of Thunder on Patreon.

And it's your pick, right, Yep, it's my pick.

We came to that determination because we forgot.

It's been quite a while since we've had a standard pick off as so we were a little bit, I don't know, at a loss for trying to figure out the order.

But I think it's back to me.

If not, I apologize in advance.

But that's what we're going I came to that conclusion.

Nick came to the same conclusion independently.

So I think we feel pretty good about that.

Okay, good, well, Nick, are you ready?

Yeah?

Man, give it a pull.

I don't have it.

And somehow it turned on what do you want for me?

That was good.

So the first one is number seventeen thirty three.

See you.

Now, this is kind of modern history and Pope Doom.

Maybe there's something that's.

Going on, and I'm looking.

I'm looking see thirty.

But in the meantime, let me take a look and see what we've got here.

Okay, it's the band I've heard of a million times and I've to my knowledge, never heard any of their songs.

I'm going to put it in the hopper and really, yeah.

Because because you're unfamiliar.

I think I'm unfamiliar for sure, but people like them.

So we'll see.

If something else jumps out at me as being more appropriate for today or whatever that goes with this hot chocolate, then maybe that's what will happen.

But we're gonna put that one in the hopper and see.

So nick once more, please m number six zero seven, six zero seven.

I should have done bingo for a career bingo man, not too late.

No, they still got it at some places, I guess.

Oh geez, excuse me.

This is an interesting one, maybe probably better than the first one.

Can I double hopper?

You can?

I don't know what you're gonna do, though, you have to have a turn.

I mean, I think I'm gonna eliminate the first one and now hopper and go to a third.

These are very good selections.

It's hard to beat.

The only reason I'm bumping the first one is because this one's a little cheerier.

Which number was this one?

Six zero seven?

Yeah?

Which was cheerier?

The second one, which I think I'm in the mood for.

I don't know if I'm in the mood for non cheery.

All right, one last pull neck.

Let's see four hundred fifty four.

M.

I don't know who this is.

I think i'll skip that.

One yet to skip that it's funny?

And yeah, no, that's it's funny.

The first two answer that for you much much deliberation?

Two the third one?

Did you know what that was?

No?

Okay, you just know we're not doing.

That can be for next October.

If it comes up, it comes up.

But yeah, I didn't see the first two, but that glanced up and saw that that's no answering that for you.

All Right, Well, I'm gonna turn this over to the group.

Are we more in the feeling or in the mood for familiarity or new discovery?

Maybe this will tip the scales.

I got a hit from six o seven, so it's.

Been a while.

Yeah, we haven't done this a while.

People probably thought we'd forgotten.

All right, Uh, February nineteenth of six o seven.

I'm gonna skip the usual question, I asked Dick, because this is kind of kind of weird here.

I can't really tell who was the pope, all right, but well, we'll see how this goes.

February nineteenth, six oh seven.

The vacancy that has existed on the papal throne since the death last year of Sabinian ends with the election of a Rome born deacon of the Catholic Church, Pope Bona Facci the Third.

Did I say that right?

Is it just Boniface Boniface?

I'm trying to I've heard Boniface.

But it was trying to be a Hispanic Australian and make it sound Italian.

But hope, Bonaduccio, there you go.

Pope bonifie Us the third is appointed as the sixty six Pope, but dies the same year.

And he was a deacon, That's what it said.

Often that happened, a Rome born deacon of the Catholic Church.

My goodness, Pope Bonifice the third, Boniface, there you go.

Hope stuff, it's back.

It's back here, and it's better than ever.

It was a good one that.

I love it, all right?

So I asked, do we want to do new discovery or do we want to do familiarity?

And in the chat I see three people said now, so.

We're gonna do it.

I kind of was gonna say, new, what the hell?

So we're gonna go with the first choice.

Okay, all right?

Oh really taking it?

You put it in the shredder.

Together.

Remember what Jericho warned us about, never let the listeners dictate how your show is going to go.

So we might be venturing down some dice territory here.

That's true.

How towing to this group.

I'm ready for it.

You can't trust this group.

I'm here for it.

As the India.

Yeah, I mean, I didn't see either selection, so I'm good with either one.

Whatever you think is right.

All right, let me see what this whole title is.

Okay, all right, let's turn the microphone over to Chris Jarch.

This one's called.

Black Number one Little Miss Scare all off of Bloody Kisses by the band Type O negative.

So I've heard of typo negative a million times.

I've seen a million posts about Peter Steele over the years, people talking about him.

I don't think I've ever heard typo negative unless it was in passing or I wasn't aware that that's what I was hearing in the background, or like Beavis and budhead clip or something that I don't remember.

But never owned any other stuff, never had any friends who owned their stuff.

I never owned any other stuff.

I did see them, though, Oh you did?

I did did?

Yeah?

They performed, Oh man, was it them?

Yeah?

I think it was at ROGI Fest at Alpine Valley, at like a Rock one zero three five radio festival.

Okay, they played at Alpine Valley.

I saw them.

That's really as familiar as I am with them though, And that was like ninety six, ninety seven, so it's been a little while.

Yeah, but I know that.

Yeah that Peter Steele highly regarded.

By oh he's an iconic figure for a number of reasons.

But but I'm with Andy.

I I.

Kind of know what to expect from the tone of his voice.

But I don't think I've ever heard a typo negative song in its entirety from start to finish.

I've heard snippets, and they have a couple notable covers.

Oh shit, what.

Song's eleven minutes long?

Well, you fell for it?

Who would do this to us?

Let's find out you revert to the other one.

I don't know.

Chris Camarado, how dare you?

He's having a good laugh, right, Yes.

His comment was Spooke Tober another great track from the nineties.

Saw these guys live several times and they killed it.

Nothing says Spooktober like this Halloween jam.

That's probably Yeah, that's when he submitted it.

What do we do?

What do we do?

I mean, we could do what we did with a Queen Drike song and just let it play, don't stop it.

Yeah, I'm seeing positive.

Eleven people know this one in the chat eleven minutes it's worth it.

Yeah, we might have to just play it though we might not be stopping.

We're already yeah, there's no way we're gonna we can't do the start stop.

There's not like a video edit or something.

Is there like a Halloween situation.

You can quickly look into that and see if.

They're I know, people may not want that, butts could be the case.

Fucking keyboard.

So that tiger ice cream, Nick, that's.

Not your fault.

It's that black licorice syrup.

It's not me man, it's Canada.

It is so typo negative.

So this is nineteen ninety three.

Eighty nine to twenty ten.

So basically they they were not one of those bands that kept on going apparently after their main man passed.

Well good, I mean good for them.

I think a lot of bands like everybody, he's hands down the iconic member of the band to carry on with replacing him, even with what little line it consumed.

The music just goes to show what a significant figure he is, that you know who he is, and that he's essentially irreplaceable.

So credits them for not trying to forge ahead.

What do you guys think?

This is different?

But along the same lines, something that we've never discussed and not a band we've ever listened to on the podcast.

What do you guys think of the whole static X thing of them continuing with the guy with the with the like electric mask that looks like really static.

Yeah, yeah, because I didn't know they did that.

Yeah, they've been doing that in the past few years.

It's super weird.

It's weird, but it actually seems kind of cool to me.

I don't know, Yeah, I don't know how people feel about it.

Does a guy have some connection to them or is it just a guy who does?

I think he is from another band.

I'm sure people listening, who are, you know, bigger into that scene they know exactly who it is.

But I mean it's a guy that people had heard of, but they recruited him.

And he's wearing a mask.

That looks like it's the guy from Dope in a mask that's it was cool from Dope, Yeah, Bobby Root.

And he's got his finger on the pulse of it's different vibe.

It's different than what anybody else has ever done.

True, and it's I guess kind of cool.

I don't know, though, but I'm not, you know, particularly a fan.

Yeah, So I don't know if I had loyalty to you know, the original vocalist.

Yeah, I mean I was.

I mean, I know what what push it is that their big hit or whatever.

I mean, I'm.

Aware of it, thinking of Salt and Peppa.

Well, that's it's similar.

But I mean, I think that is the name of their big hit.

I don't know their stuff at all, but but that's another instance where I almost completely unfamiliar with the band, but I know that it was Wayne's Static was the was the guy he passed away, and then when they carry on with somebody else, it just seems kind of weird to me.

But I didn't know they were doing that mask thing.

So that's that's an interesting twist.

It kind of borders on the whole hologram thing.

But I don't know, I'd have to I'd have to see it.

But I mean, but then you at the same time, you do have a live performance.

Yeah, it's not a track.

There's a different element, right.

So I mean, I'm not a big, big enough fan of Static X to really have an opinion one way or the other.

But I was about to bring that up as example of something similar where you know certain people you just can't or shouldn't replace, but it happens, and and here we are.

But Type O never did it.

So so it looks like there is a video, right, I don't watch all.

I just don't know if it's gonna get so this.

Yeah, let's just do the thing where we play.

It out because that's fine with me.

Here's why I say that.

I like the idea of a video if it's a shorter, edited version.

But also everyone in the chat that is familiar with this is saying, play the whole thing and do it that way.

Hey, if I'm trusting them, let's just do it that way.

We'll do it that style, let it roll.

If something really jumps out at us, maybe won't take a break, but we'll see.

Eleven minutes is a long time.

So we got a four piece here are they?

Okay?

The picture the picture here on Apple's three, so they must have at some point.

Apparently there's a key boardist.

Insignificant keyboardist is what I'm Yeah, maybe redundant, right.

Yeah, he's either visible on stage or off on the side.

Mm hmmm, ah, okay, like that guy who uh like that that guy who was the double vocalist for Ozzie back in the day.

Supposedly he was a keyboard player.

I don't know if he was a keyboard player.

He was just he was he was off, completely obviously off.

Yeah, out of sight.

But how long ago was that?

I forget when?

I forget when that was.

But yeah, supposedly there was a guy who for a while.

Was Ozzy having some kind of difficulty.

I don't know, or was like it was just to you know, fill out the sound.

Maybe somebody said, the video is about four minutes long, So what do we want to do here?

Hmmm, let's see.

Let's look it up here, look it up?

See what?

Uh So?

Yeah?

Nineteen ninety three, written by Peter Steele while driving a garbage truck.

I was waiting in line for three hours to dump forty cubic yards of human waste at the Hamilton Avenue Marine transfer Station, and I wrote the song in my head.

I'm not kidding you.

Well, we never accused you of kidding us, Peter.

But yeah, it looks like like four minutes forty seconds or something and change.

So yeah, this seems very much a just from what I'm reading it a fit for a Spooktober episode.

But this is what we have for December.

Okay, I mean the challenge was just letting a song play.

Is it's you're talking over the music and it's a little difficult.

To We could do the video, right it.

Yeah, I think that's the way to go since it is.

In fact, sure, we'll have the appetizer size.

Yeah, and if you want to go listen to the whole eleven minute version, you do it.

Yeah, and we might be inspired to do so as well.

Yeah all right, But.

I know when I saw it, when I looked it up and I saw the album cover, I'm like, okay, yeah, that's one of those really big albums, not one that I've ever owned, but yeah, Like when I saw it, I'm like, okay, yeah.

This is this woman who looks like, what's that lady's name.

Everyone's going to be mad at me for saying that the lady who's princess late Princess le Carrie Fish.

This looks like Carrie Fisher and someone else I don't know.

Yeah, but I mean that's like that's an album cover that I'm like, Okay, yeah, this was a big album.

Yeah you've seen that before.

Hunh.

I have Bloody Kisses nineteen ninety three, not familiar.

Okay, well, how about we take a quick commercial break and we come right back with that really long name.

I forgot bloody number one.

Uh, Lady of the Night, all night long, Scare all black.

Number one, little miss scare all there, all.

Right, so we'll be right back.

Very artistic intro.

It's like a cologne.

I was just gonna say black number one.

Now that I just saw the just the words up on the screen, I'm like, Okay, maybe that's a play on like a cologne, the name for a cologne.

Jesus is in love with herself.

She likes the dog.

On Home Mill Guide Night.

I mean it's, you know, interview with a vampire.

So far, basically it's theatrical.

Yeah, yeah, he's in a character here, he's in a role.

Milk white, by the way, is something that we used to say which predates this.

So I don't know if we somehow had an influence on Peter Steele, but guys I worked with in high school and early college, guys went to high school with, we used to use the term my milk white ass to say something like, you know something ridiculous or you know, like something my ass.

We would tack on milk white, and occasionally we would go with chalk white, but that was a thing in the late eighties, which predated this by five years.

So I would go with a big fan of milk white.

Chalk white is good too, just when you throw that in there to mix it.

Up even whiter, possibly the Devil's ball it's sold hollow.

Okay, so we got our Halloween reference.

I was gonna say the bass part, it's not the same.

And I think I brought this up for another song years ago, the Kids in the Hall sketch with Kevin McDonald singing where he's talking about the bass player and it's Bruce mccallaugh standing there playing bass the whole time.

It was like the woman, Ye.

Didn't we do that about a kiss song?

I can't think so.

I think so it came up before.

But yeah, just the way the bass sounds, it just makes me think of that playing that Hoffner bass in the sketch.

And isn't Peter the bass player?

Also?

Yeah, yes he is?

All right?

Red?

Are you expecting us to comment on the Transylvanian delivery?

I see, I don't know enough about typo negative, but I'm guessing this is a relatively tongue in cheek for them, at least so far.

It's fun and hokey so far.

I guess we'll see where it goes.

I'm frankly again, I'll admit to being largely unfamiliar with their catalog.

I want to know vocally where else he's gonna go.

We're gonna find out.

Yeah, I want like because I'm assuming things are gonna kick out, and I'm wondering how how he adjusts to that vocally.

I'll bet you will.

Nice.

What wait, well he said, Lily Monster.

Oh that's what he's saying.

I think so Van di Carlo references.

Got nothing on you.

Well, what a what a compliment?

I guess it is.

In that world.

Yeah, it's uh, it's reminding me lyrically of some of the stuff from the Halloween.

Halloween song really waiting for a big Pumpkin to like it just kind of big.

Yeah, I loved I loved that it was big Pumpkin to arrive.

But yeah, I like just kind of making references to pop culture, Halloween related pop culture items.

M Yeah, it's fun, it's fun.

It's dan Zigi a little bit.

Yes, he did kind of go into a Danzig territory there.

But probably more so in the theatrical vein right, I would say, I don't think Danzig ever did a Dracula accent as far as.

I know, only on the beach in Portly, India.

That's true.

He did there, you go, never mind, he did it, well, we get that.

I'm just I'm thinking this is it's adding to my enjoyment thinking about the time period and how the nineties were pretty eclectic.

And I know we've talked about it in the past, and I agree with Chris seventies probably the best decade for music, followed by the nineties, and I think it had a lot to do with that, with the sort of the eclectic feel of it.

And in ninety three you had like grunge on top of the world, and it's cool to see something like this that was coming out around that time.

It was grunge and then like Aerosmith's like another huge comeback for Aerosmith, stuff like that, and this this has a sort of a maybe it's the stand up base that he's playing in the video, but I'm kind of getting like a hell a hell billy, if you will, a little bit of that in there.

A little bit of that scene, but he is playing it sideways like a normal yeah, which is because he can, which is kind of funny.

Yeah he is.

Yeah, that's true.

He's a large enough man where he could do that.

Yeah.

No, it's just it's interesting to try to think of what was popular in ninety three and how this fits into it.

Yeah, and being you know, ninety three was right the year I quit the Well the band, I moved to Chicago to be in disband, and then I joined The Mean Reds ninety three.

Typo Negative reminds me of like the kind of music you would hear if you went to Exit or Berlin or something, or one of those kind of counterculture nightclubs that were going on in the city.

And you know, the quasi goth scene.

Yeah yeah, or maybe even just the actual goth scene.

I don't know, but goth however you want to pronounce it.

But yeah, people were aware.

I certainly was aware of Typo Negative, and just when the name of the band comes up, you just picture what their fans are like.

And if you wanted to immerse yourself in that scene, there were plenty of clubs in the city it would cater to these people.

Who were into this band.

And I believe TYPO negative is the rarest blood type, by the way, that's what it is.

If I'm not mistaken, and I would know because I need to find another one if I needed a transfer.

Are you your TYPO negative?

Yeah?

I didn't know that.

Yeah.

So that's my understanding is I can't receive from anybody else unless they're the same type.

Jeez, I don't know what blood type I am.

Well, why do I have to know?

I can't they just figure it out.

It's probably good to know.

Hook the computer up to me.

And I had a blood donor card of years ago that had my blood type on it, but I I don't can't.

I couldn't tell you what it is.

So I think it's like I could be wrong.

I think it's you can you can give to anyone else, but you can't receive from anybody other than another.

How weird TYPO negative?

Like how do you figure that out?

You know?

People trial And that's something I've thought about before.

How is anything in the medical field ever come to fruition?

People had to die for people to come for the medical experts to come to the conclusion that this is beneficial.

This is not this can kill you.

This can't.

How you arrive at what's going on in the modern day Medicinally, there's the body cout that was required to get to this point.

Is probably that Pope in six o seven was a casualty.

Of everything like that.

Who knows gave him the wrong blood.

All right, let's continue here.

This is the same song.

What happened.

It's eleven minutes and the real versions.

But I didn't even hear.

Let's go back like ten seconds because I'm confused.

I have a feeling a lot of the big fans of this band who are listening right now just went terrible edit.

Yeah, it's kind of weird.

I mean, it's sort of I mean, if it's an eleven minute song and you gotta do it, I guess that sounded like a passable edit.

But here's the thing.

If if it's a song that they felt was worthy of editing down to put out is a quote unquote single, why would you make it eleven minutes in the first place.

Why don't you just fucking rearrange it in the studio so you didn't have to worry about some hack coming in and chopping it up.

That we talk about this all the time.

But that's the role of a producer to be like, guys, I know you want this eleven minute version of the song, but if we whittled it down to four minutes, it could be the single.

It's that good.

But we have to we can't put it out as eleven minutes, So why put out an edited version.

It just doesn't make any sense to me.

It's a weird decision.

Yeah, you could have had if you really needed it, you could have done like part two at the end of the album.

Or yeah, yeah, yes, create a radio edit that's not edited by somebody post production, just rearrange it and record a shorter version, or just have the same title slightly different.

Who knows.

But yeah, it's just strange how these decisions get arrived at.

No.

So we have this is the other lead vocalist.

If I'm not mistaken, right, I don't think that's Peter Steele singing that part, was it not?

I don't know.

That looks like Kenny Hickey.

Well it's the guitar player.

Sounds a little like heat Field, yeah, a little bit.

Yeah, so they're doing a little trade on.

The Metallica tip.

Sonically, this is reminding me of Injustice for All and that there's not a lot of bottom end in this music.

No, not a whole lot in this this version, especially when they kick it into the higher gear, there's just no It kind of lacks sonic power to me.

It's not a full, full sonic range experience, lack lacking in bottom end to my ears.

I don't know if it's just the the YouTube version or or whatever, but that would be my observation of it, very Injustice for All sounding in terms of that frequency just not being present.

Has there ever been anything more Danzig that than that?

Was it?

Black Black Black number one?

Number one?

Yeah?

M hmmm, it's a it's interesting with the two cold lead co lead vocalists, mixes it up pretty cool.

I don't mind that, Yeah.

I when it kicked up a little bit there, it had before this part when the when Kenny Hickey was singing the guitar player, it's it had an Allison Chains kind of a vibe to it to me.

It's interesting because you can pick little pieces of a whole bunch of different bands out at different times on this so far.

Yeah, Like, oh, it's a little reminiscent of this I'm not saying they're ripping anybody off, but I'm just saying like it sounds like of the time, and there's nods to all these other bands.

And I don't mean that as like they're taking from They could have been first for all I know.

But I'm just saying it's like familiarity, like, oh, that kind of reminds me of this, that reminds me of that.

How many albums into their career was this?

Do we know when you looked that up?

I mean, Allison Chains could be sounding like TYPEO Negative for all we know.

Yeah, well, it's that type of negatives started in eighty nine.

That looks like it was the third album if what I have here is.

Correct, So there could have been an influence.

Yeah, I Facelift hit in nineteen ninety, so it's entirely possible.

And wait, is California band?

That's a good question.

Type of Negative is a Brooklyn band?

They are?

Yes, I've been Blombardosi's well.

He sent me some messages.

He's got a connection to them, he said.

Brooklyn's own TYPEO Negative.

These guys used to hang out in the studio.

I used to rehearse them when I was in high school, and he said, we used to prank the drummer.

Prank called the drummer.

There you go, prank called the drummer.

If you're going to prank, call someone, it's going to be the drum Oh.

Yeah, if you want to, if you want someone who's going to get mad, it's going to be the right away.

And yeah, he called the drummer someone who won't have I'm not saying this drummer specifically, I know nothing about him, but just as a generality.

Yeah, someone who's not going to have a good sense of humor about it.

No, if you want to, if you want a reaction out of your print, call someone who's not just going to be cool about it and hang up.

You call the drummer.

You want that fly off the handle?

Right, Tommy just said he would get really mad.

I love that, Okay, let's keep going.

Was like.

Lo, he was like.

One, it's it's uh growing on me.

I will say, I'm I'm enjoying Like just there.

It's a good mixture of there's some seriousness to it, but then it's pretty tongue in cheek, like with the harpsichord and stuff like that, really playing up like the gothic sort of a feel.

Bobby said, it's a song about a goth chick who won't go out because she needs to color her hair.

Danzig would never be this seriously silly.

It's too silly for Danzig.

I don't know, I think so.

Yeah.

Probably so she won't go out with them because she has to color her hair.

Huh, Well, she won't go out period, because you know, the goths, like like anybody else.

I don't care what sort of subculture or culture or whatever you want to call it, you belong to.

Everybody done some sort of uniform when they venture out, and goths especially strike me as the type of people that unless their look is completely dialed in, they're not going to go out.

Yeah, that's true.

The hair color, the eye line or the makeup, the fashion, all of it, you know, very very meticulous from head to toe.

The goth people that i've what if the owner been around.

What if the pharmacy is closing in like a half hour, got a hall ass over there?

Yeah?

I mean, are they not going?

Well?

Apparently you can get pharmacy stuff door dash to you now, so it.

Makes ninety three.

I don't know what you would do.

You'na put on your running sneakers and go.

It's not gonna work.

That's what I was gonna say.

If you're half done up, yeah, and it's just not working.

But you've got to get somewhere.

It's not gonna work.

I think you've I think you've put too much pressure on yourself.

Yeah, you can't put on your knee high boots with a bunch of buckles on it.

I mean run down the street cvs with like.

Six foot laces that you need to get all the way up.

Yeah, it's gonna take all day.

So I never thought about this.

That is a time consuming.

Look well, I mean, I guess it can calling it gothic.

It's like you think what they you see those videos Sometimes maybe they don't pop up for you guys, but it'll it'll be stuff like colonial times, like stuff like that where it's like the women had to wear this piece and then this piece, and then this piece and then this giant thing and it.

Yeah, it kind of harkens back to that where it's it's you don't just throw on sweats and go run it out.

It's like.

They're not wearing angry birds PAGEA.

No, they're not no, it doesn't say pink anywhere on their pants.

And that was the thing when you, uh, when we would occasionally sort of infiltrate the goth scene just to see what was going on and go to these bars, we didn't look we we stuck out like sore thumbs because we just were like dressed like regular people and and we were as a result, ostracized in those environments because we were we were dickheads.

We just look like regular schmos venturing into this goth scene where everybody is done up meticulously from head to toe and you know, up to including you know, just straight up confrontations of like why were you even let into this club?

So, you know, like I said, it was exit.

Berlin was kind of like this, you know on some night's Neo Arturo's favorite club.

I know, they had a dedicated goth night.

And even if you were in a goth if you were bored on that night and you're like, I do'tant to see what's going on in there, but you go in and like T shirt and jeeds and you just see all these you know, people who are you could tell they put hours into the look.

Yeah, and it was just a weird juxtaposition of epul in there.

But the people who were serious about it, you know, they they seem to be n't like anybody else.

They were territorial about it, you know, clowns coming in there just to hang out there, like, yeah, you really shouldn't be in here.

You can't.

You can't really not let you in, but we wish you weren't here because you don't belong here.

Yeah.

Right, it's so Adam's fan.

They're doing an animal sort of Sorry, Nick, Oh, that's all right.

So I'm I guess I'm I didn't derive this information from listening to the lyrics, but since Bobby said that it's about a girl dyeing her hair, I'm guessing black number one is the color she's dyeing her hair.

For whatever reason, I just made that connection after hearing that.

That makes sense.

Yeah, it's I you know what I'm and I'm enjoying now that the drums are mixing it up a little bit.

I would go and listen to the full version just to hear how it kind of builds and you know where how it exactly gets to each part and how long it how long it builds, and yeah, i'd be curious.

See, I would not be.

My take on this is like, look, I I know Peter, I know who Peter Steele is.

I understand his influence on pop culture in general, and that he's just an iconic figure in a certain you know, subculture.

But just this music, just this is not something I would ever listen to for pleasure.

I think.

Yeah, Lee Travis and the Chat earlier said that they were often referred to as the drab for takeoff on the Fab four of course, but it's just too downtrodden for me.

I get it how people some people are into it, but it's like it's like not hearing a ton of their music.

I knew what the tone of his voice was based on what I've heard from it from these guys, and then I also knew that like almost everything they do is like this down tempo, half speed, just plotting stuff to my ears, And it's just not something that I would put on to listen to for pleasure.

Just it's just not so I'm the opposite of Nick.

I'm not interested in hearing the full length version.

I'm I just there's something about the fact that they're in on the joke a little bit.

Oh They're definitely in on the joke, and there's there's that humor element, which is again a weird juck position based on the visual presentation, and just you know, and just utterly original.

I mean, has there ever been a band that has sounded like these guys that you've ever heard of?

I can't think of anybody.

I don't know enough about this genre.

Yeah, I'm just again, I'm kind of thinking, like, Okay, Danzig is the first thing that came to mind.

And then a little tiny bit of White Zombie, but not really like I could see their fans having a little bit of a cross.

Oh, I could imagine a big crossover here.

Yeah, but I don't, you know, it's not the same.

And then, like Nick said, a little bit of an Allison Chains vibe at times.

Chris said, the Metallica thing, I don't know, there's just all kinds of separate little pieces.

But I don't think of one band that, oh, this is like this, yeah, this is this is a copy of this band, you.

Know, yeah, at least just based on this song.

Yeah, but it's the thing, like when you think of Metallica, you also kind of think of the other big four metal bands and then branch off and other Your mind starts going down the family tree of similar bands, right, same with Alison Chains or any of the grunge bands.

You think of Alison Chains, Soundgarden, Pops in your head, Nirvana, Melvin's, all that kind of stuff.

Your TYPEO negative, You just stop.

There is where else do you go?

And part of it has to do with the fact that we're not super versed on goth music.

I personally am not.

But also they're just so singular.

It's like you just know this based on the reputation that they're utterly unique in the pantheon of music, both the band and Peter Steele himself.

That is, you know, when you're craving this kind of music, there are no other bands that rush into your consciousness.

This is it.

I mean, I would imagine there are that they influenced a lot of bands, but as far as contemporaries of them, I don't.

Yeah, we're not well versed.

But yeah, which the following statement applies to almost everything about my presence on this show.

But I could be talking completely out of my ass, But I just think that they're so utterly unique in the overall picture that they're just there's no like, I don't know, Like I wonder where like that the evolution of metal that Sam done the documentary series, I wonder where he had typo negative in the metal sort of family tree and one other branch would associated with them.

Might be interested to look into that a little bit.

I'm curious about that.

In terms of the actual music, I'm not really sure I need to hear anymore from TYPEO.

It's just not my thing.

Well, a couple of different comments in the chat here from old Jarecat he said derived from Bauhaus Bowhuse was, you know, they had like a proto goth sound, but they I don't think they had any metal to them, right.

They probably were huge at NEO on that night that Arturo used.

But so then Bobby Roots said, Sabbath mixed with the Cure, Sisters of Mercy and the Beatles and bow House, so maybe it's an amalgamation of things they liked.

It's funny how the Cure is always in there somewhere.

Yeah.

I was gonna mention them too.

And Tony Griggs said, doom metal?

Will this be doom metal?

I know the term, but I don't really know the I can't think I couldn't tell you bands that are in that category.

I couldn't tell you either.

But when I hear doom metal, I think of musically this tempo, like Chris was saying, plotting quality to it, That's what comes to my mind.

And frankly, this music it works pretty well with my new graphic novel.

And Jeff Stroop says, I was want to be vampire back in the middle nineties.

All right, right, we got to talk about that.

I'd like to hear more about that.

Were you into the brood?

And wwh there you go?

Yeah, what what constitutes a want to be vampire?

Your fangs didn't actually pierce the milk white skin of a neck, It just got close to it.

That's an interesting, interesting identify.

Weren't they want to be vampire?

Weren't there things where blood was was drink drinking happened, but they exchanged, you know, with people, and somehow they I don't know how you make sure it's safe to do that.

But I'm sure people still do that.

People do all kind of Yeah.

I remember I remember hearing that back in the around this time period and being like, what, like you just give like you somehow do a little blood letting and give someone a cup of it.

Like, Okay, I guess that's that's the thing that people are into.

Well, we've graduated a bone broth hot chalk.

I don't know if I don't know if the blood would be as gut healthy for you as the bone broth.

Yeah, next week, Nick's bringing blood hot chocolate.

Blood, orange zest sprinkle around the next bake tree.

That would be good.

Actually, we've got a little bit to go here.

Let's finish it off.

No, this shodda.

What's going on here?

It looks like she's got a knife though.

Yeah, shot a another wanna be a vampire?

So one thing I'll say before we vote.

I could see this being a band with a fun scene to be a part of.

Like if you were following them locally and they had a scene and it was your scene, like this would be it would be a cool time, you know, an original, probably exciting, unique scene happens.

Oh yeah, Like I said, when we would go to these goth clubs just to sort of infiltrate it, you could tell that it was a tightly knit scene.

We just shouldn't.

We didn't belong there and we weren't going to be welcomed into it because we didn't look the part and we were just complete idiots in no way trying to assimilate ourselves into the scene.

But you could observe that these people are just way into it and it was a lifestyle and something that they were passionate about.

You totally, you picked up on that for sure.

Imagine being at one of a party that this band threw.

Yeah, probably a great time until the drummer started screaming at the phone and slammed it.

Down lombardas he was pray calling che voice.

Just ruined the whole party exactly.

Way to go, Tommy, That's not the vibe they want to be putting out.

Yeah.

Yeah, they're all being cool and you know, like Adam's Family ish, you know, that's sort of strange, strangely calm about all this, you know, kind of vibe and then the drummers losing it.

Quick debate or whatever.

Let's settle this.

Adam's Family or Monsters where you guys at.

I know again, I was never into either.

I mean I.

Watched episodes, but I guess Monsters was funnier, mainly because of l Lewis.

Monster.

There's a little more humor there, which I'm intend to be drawn to.

And just you know, the the incessant you know, kissing of mor Titie by Gomez.

It's like, Okay, I don't need to see it.

I like that he was really horny.

French, right, he would lose it.

Yeah.

It was.

Another sort of an early example of what I call the King of Queenan's dynamic, where you have the hot wife and the just plain if not completely dumpy looking husband and it's just like, she doesn't want this guy's mouth all over all over her looking on him.

Nothing.

He's still around, is he really?

Yeah, he's like in his mid nineties.

Still fucking kissing people from wrist to sholder.

I hope.

So he made it probably keeps them young.

He made it longer than Rawal Julia, Oh yeah, played the character in the Early Night Master.

Yeah, that was like a switch where he was cooler, I think than nothing.

That Mortish was like a dumpy I'm I'm saying she was the King of Queen's character, but they made.

He was more suave.

Yeah he was.

But then you know Johnston and I am somewhat familiar with the old what's his name Charles Adams, the guy who drew the comics or whatever that they're based on, And it was more like you've seen the cartoons that have come out the Adams Family movies.

They more like that where he's like a little heavier, more like I mean that they had the mustache and he was kind of suave and everything like that.

But I'd say they went back to the what the original they looked.

Like Louis Louise Gomez or whatever that guy's name is did it.

And the most recent thing, well, that's whatever that guy's name is that the right name?

That dude?

Oh the voice you mean or what I thought?

Was it just the voice or did he actually do it in live action?

Maybe it was just the voice.

I don't know, just making a mistake here, but yeah, that would probably be more accurate.

Right, Yeah, But they made him like with Raal Julia, he was moreman sorry, okay, he was more handsome, I would say, more debonair and handsome.

Was it Angelica Houston.

That was.

And he does not like and just me no can go fly a kite?

Gave her a deluxe fart's her name?

Yeah?

I never even I never I never saw those movies I just did just my not my bag, not into it.

Those are good movies.

I will say.

Christopher Lloyd brilliant as always.

Yeah, that's true.

He was Lurch he was No, he was Fester, Lurch was I don't know who Lurch was.

Actually, I don't know either, some weird looking guy.

Yeah, But I would say as much as I love the fact that Fred Gwynn and l Lewis were in The Monsters and they're from Car fifty four, which I love, probably I think the I think I would watch the Adams Family over the Monsters at this point.

Yeah, I'm not.

I don't have an answer.

I think I like the Monsters more, but I'm not the Monsters.

But I think I don't know something about the Adams Family.

It's the same kind of shtick, though it's like, w'ere they're weirdoh's and they're acting perfectly normal being weird, And I guess the whole concept would have been the Adams Family concept first.

That was first.

I don't even know.

I mean, I would think I would think that that that whole because it was you know, said drawings and stuff like that kind of one one panel comics and stuff like that before.

So both awesome though.

But then there's there was that horrible Monsters movie, which a few are parts of it that I enjoyed.

I will admit the Rob Zombie director.

Yeah, Masters movie.

I didn't even know there was such as I wanted to love it.

I ended up kind of liking it.

But yeah, I wanted to love it.

I put it on.

I probably made it.

About a half hour into it, I'm like, this is so shitty.

I watched the whole thing.

I couldn't get through it.

I just thought it was terrible.

There was nothing great color, okay in the sets and everything.

Sure that the Angelica Houston Raspberry reaction, Yep, it's a big fart.

I first see a Facebook reel in your future, Andy, What have I done?

There's that whole batch of actresses at a certain point where I'm like, how did these people get to be who they were?

Oh?

John Houston was her father?

That probably all.

Right, But Angelic, yeah, she's in that group.

I don't want to name all the others, but.

She does a pretty good job in my favorite Woody Allen movie, Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Okay, I'll give her that.

Then if you say so I'm just seeing but I totally get it she is in terms of like, you know this sexy goth well minute, that would miss the mark for me.

I just don't see it.

No, not at all.

Ever, It's this None of this is in my wheelhouse, and I'm not goth in any way.

I don't want to be goth, and just nothing about it appeals to me.

But being in that environment you can see how into it other people are, and God bless them for it.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess if you find other people that are like, hey, I'll play along with you and do this probably a lot of fun, of course, until the drummer gets a phone call.

So here's what.

Just last thing on this to make sense of everything.

The live action thing I was talking about is from that Netflix show Wednesday.

Okay, so that's where is playing.

Yeah, okay, and then Catherine Zeita Jones is mue.

That makes much better.

Oh that's much better.

Yes, absolutely, and yeah that makes sense.

It's good.

I wonder who Uncle Fester is.

Find out for you, but I don't know.

Bobby Bobby Ruth says Angelica Houston was hot in Adam's family.

His judgment is frequently if not questionable.

I think about everything.

I think it was just that role.

Julia was the one who was kissing on her and his his debonarity was just all over everybody.

Oh, fred Armison is fester.

Fred armis Well, we got it all figured out somehow.

It all comes around to Fred Arhams.

So we brought it.

He was brought up in the pre show chat and he's going to try out for to be a stand in.

Be a stand in.

There's a casting agency in Chicago looking for someone fred Armison standing.

Jenny or Hey guys Wednesday, Yep, no idea?

Who that is?

Betther, heir to the Taco Shell Fortune?

Yes, that's how she got in the rival to the Taco Shell Fortune.

Yeah, they're debating of who's going to take it over Kenny and uh Jenny, who's going to be the one the.

Yeah, let the courts sort it out.

All right.

We gotta vote Sweet Surrender a kick in the crotch.

Oh, I guess you gotta go to go first.

You gotta do this.

Damn.

Let me think for a second, how did this song go?

Garbage truck?

Backing up.

The garbage truck he was driving, he wrote the song.

Maybe maybe he was.

He was mimicking the reverse signal.

He's like, I need one with the chorus.

I need one more part.

He's like, yeah, I need a chorus, and it's not coming to me.

They got to back out of this alley.

So oh, there it is.

It is done all right.

For that version that reason, I'm giving it a sweet surrender.

Hell yeah, not to play my hand too far ahead of time, but I'm barely giving it a sweet surrender.

I'm kind of with Chris where he was coming from, where this doesn't really this is not something that I want to be listening to on the way to work or whatever.

I'm not ever think of that.

I can't think of a scenario where I would ever want to listen to Typo Negative from what I my cursory knowledge of them, And that also prohibits me from delving deeper into their catalog.

I just it's zero interest in exploring that.

While at the same time I can respect their influence and their legacy and all of that, I just it's not for me.

That's sorry for you.

No, that's pretty much I got your toes over there.

That's pretty much exactly what I was going to say.

But I'm giving them the fifty one percent sweet surrender to the forty nine kick in the crotch and just barely nudging it over the edge for this song.

You know, I respect what's happening.

I again, I feel like this would be a fun thing, you know, if that was your world and all that, it'd probably be great and a delight to experience this.

But it's just not me, so I am not interested in digging any deeper.

And Jackie is referencing the inclusion on a Beavis and butt Head episode.

This is a video that was you know, analyzed by them, and I'm sure in that context I probably saw it because the only TV I consumed in the early to mid nineties was Beavis and butt Beavis and butt Head and the body shaping shows, and they're equivalents on ESPN in the morning.

It's all I watched for like three or four years straight in the nineties.

Shows like Friends Seinfeld completely off my radar, did not watch those at all.

So it's ESPN and MTV and just those two shows.

All right, who wants to vote next?

Well?

You kind of gave well, did I give everyone's Well?

Chris, Chris kind of gave.

His Yeah, I'm gonna do the opposite of Andy.

I'm gonna do a fifty one percent kick in the crotch here, you billy, because uh, yeah, it's just not something I I can appreciate the quality.

I just just it's not for me, and I really don't want to go to the set second round of voting here.

It's another consideration we've talked about.

But again it's very it's right on the fence.

Because I can appreciate and acknowledge the iconic status of these guys that Peter Steele in particular, the influence and how legit the goth culture is.

It's just absolutely has nothing to do with me or anything I'd ever be interested in consuming.

So that's that's my reasoning.

Nick, I'll give it, I'll give it a bit of a sweet surrender.

Hell yeah.

I mean it's not something that like, I don't I'm not salivating over the thought of going on of streaming service and listening to everything that they put out or anything like that.

But I find just this song in particular, I'm like, you know what, I would listen to the full version just to hear how that went as opposed to this edit.

Yeah, and I yeah, like a lot of like a lot of bands or even whole genres of music.

I can take it in small doses, but it would get really tiresome after a while.

And if it's kind of this tempo with every song, it would be tough for me to really get into this band, but I do.

There's that sort of humor that's in this song though, that I'm like, Okay, they're in on the joke, like, yes, they are part of this goth scene whatever, but they get it and they're kind of poking fun at themselves a bit.

So that's endearing to me, So I would investigate it a bit more.

I'm not just based on like musically and everything that we heard.

It's not something where I'm like, oh, I gotta hear more, Like on my way home tonight, I'm punching it up and listening to it, like, but you know, tomorrow I might be I might check out the full version of the song just to just to kind of hear the difference and see if there's anything cool that was left out.

So yeah, I mean, it's it.

I'm fine with it.

It's it's not something that then I'm gonna put on in the background while I'm doing something in the kitchen or whatever.

But it's you know, I liked that.

It was fun.

I didn't expect that.

There you go.

All right, Well, if you disagree with us, weird, Sorry.

It is.

You know what it?

Nick?

Do you have anything?

I think me and Chris both have something.

Yeah, I've got something, all right, quick commercial break, will be right back.

Some jokes, the.

Jokes, the jokes come on, all right, how many you.

Got, dad?

You know what?

I got one submitted from a listener, and then I can add one of mine.

While go in the middle, because I come with one each week.

Okay, I'm a quality over quantity guy.

Again.

Second appearance of this particular individual on this episode.

The Great Colin Bell sent me this one, and coincidentally, it's got to do with kiss after he gave us this really excellent calendar, which we're gonna have to post pictures after people to see.

I think.

So, Colin asks, what is Santa Claus's favorite kiss song?

What?

I don't know?

What is Santa Claus's favorite kiss song?

Well, according to Colin, it's on ho ho holy oh shit, thank you Colin.

Oh there he goes again.

Ho.

All right, excuse me.

My turn yep chair.

Okay, what apparatus doesn't achey Santa Claus rely on to get him through delivering gifts to children all around the world each year.

Okay, so after he's given the gifts he needs, relief is.

Not necessarily okay, what apparatus does an achy Santa Claus rely on to get him through those long Christmas eves of delivering gifts to kids all around.

The gold I cannot imagine, Andy.

I got nothing to.

A chimneye brace.

What's wrong with your lad?

You sippy?

I like that look, I like that love.

That's my one a week is what you're gonna get from me.

So now the work begins to come up with my next joke.

I could throw in a bonus.

I don't really have the joke fleshed out.

I could just go for it.

Okay, I just thought, okay, this, there's something here.

I just don't know what it is.

So I'm going to force myself right now.

What rock band is a favorite of the residence of the North Pole.

What classic rock band is a favorite among those residents of the North Pole?

I don't know, man, That's like when it was like which kiss song?

It's like, okay, there are two hundred and ninety.

Yeah, it would be possible at least that many, if not more, class rock bands.

No clue.

Well, I'll just say due to the fact that both Rudolph and Klaus are in it, it's the Scorpions.

There's some guesses Slayer okay, well, good, good, glad people are participating the rolling Cold.

I couldn't think of one for Matthias fun for that, but.

Oh there you go very loud today too.

Yeah, Paul is emphatic, he is, all right, well, thank you for hanging with us today.

I hope you had a good time.

We'll be back next week for the Christmas Week.

Christmas Week, are you serious?

Yeah?

Yeah, because this is what the fifteenth and the twenty second?

Yeah, yep, sure is so next week is the Christmas episode?

Yeah?

Sure, I could tell another one then.

In that case, if you want to, I'll save it.

I've got two.

Maybe I'll even come up with more.

All right, well, thank you everybody, and.

Hopefully Chris comes up with an Oh I will I enjoyed the Chimney.

Bre It'll just be the one, but I will have something next week.

All right, al everybody, he really did sound Italian.

There, all right.

I took it as Italian when I heard it.

Might have lied
