Hello and welcome to the Metal Heads Podcast.

My name is George.

00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:53.420
And to quote the forthcoming Temple of Void album,

00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:55.040
welcome to the world that was.

00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:22.620
This is our special in-between episode, coronavirus episode. Seeing as how everybody is pretty much staying at home these days, we thought we'd record something for you. This isn't going to be a regular episode. It's not going to have news and all that stuff. I mean, well, there will be some news, but basically it's not going to be a regular episode. We are going to have a top five for you.

00:01:25.100 --> 00:01:25.200
discussion.

00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:26.440
99.

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:28.160
99.5.

00:01:28.420 --> 00:01:29.220
99.5.

00:01:29.320 --> 00:01:29.420
Yeah.

00:01:29.460 --> 00:01:30.080
We wanted to do,

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:30.700
you know,

00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:31.820
we've got something as you,

00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:33.020
if you listen to the last episode,

00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:33.340
you know,

00:01:33.340 --> 00:01:34.760
we got something planned for episode 100.

00:01:35.460 --> 00:01:36.780
We're not ready to do that today,

00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:38.240
but we wanted to do something.

00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:39.520
So 99.5,

00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:39.880
it is.

00:01:40.940 --> 00:01:42.140
And we're also going to take our temperatures.

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:43.300
Yes.

00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:43.540
If we,

00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:44.460
99.5,

00:01:44.540 --> 00:01:46.120
if it's 99.5 or more,

00:01:46.460 --> 00:01:48.760
then you need to even more self quarantine.

00:01:51.720 --> 00:01:53.100
So how's everybody doing?

00:01:53.180 --> 00:02:22.560
First of all, everybody well? Yes. I like how you coughed right before you said that. I am not sick, but I am experiencing allergies. And when I go out, even the last few days that I was in the office, I got in, I was signing into my computer, and the allergies were kicking my ass. And I was just like, a lot of that. And the guy in the office next to me sends me an IM, and he's like, that cough doesn't sound good.

00:02:24.040 --> 00:02:24.580
I'm actually,

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:26.320
mine are controllable right now,

00:02:26.420 --> 00:02:27.860
but I feel bad because of my allergies.

00:02:28.100 --> 00:02:28.600
And so I'm glad,

00:02:28.700 --> 00:02:29.920
I'm not glad you're feeling that way,

00:02:30.020 --> 00:02:30.420
but it's,

00:02:31.060 --> 00:02:32.340
if you're an allergy sufferer right now,

00:02:32.410 --> 00:02:33.060
when everything's blooming,

00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.040
you're literally like maybe at least once every two days,

00:02:36.260 --> 00:02:36.800
like you're like,

00:02:36.860 --> 00:02:37.040
okay,

00:02:37.110 --> 00:02:38.600
what am I fucking sick or what's going on?

00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:39.440
Yeah.

00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:40.680
Well,

00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:41.040
I have,

00:02:41.050 --> 00:02:42.760
I don't have a fever and,

00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:43.400
uh,

00:02:44.460 --> 00:02:45.240
I don't have a fever.

00:02:46.090 --> 00:02:46.180
Uh,

00:02:46.450 --> 00:02:47.200
I mean,

00:02:47.260 --> 00:02:47.520
you're not,

00:02:47.550 --> 00:02:48.200
you don't feel like,

00:02:48.450 --> 00:02:48.580
nah,

00:02:48.860 --> 00:02:49.000
nah,

00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:49.500
just,

00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:49.860
just,

00:02:50.320 --> 00:03:19.380
I'm draining and occasionally coughing. In case this is your last cast, George, we do love you. Thank you. You never can tell. But yeah, and I've been going out to the store and stuff. I don't even think about it. I'm just like, you know. I do, actually. I try not to cough. Well, I try not to. George, you're already doing it wrong. You're coughing into your hand. That's a no-no. You've got to use the crook of your bicep or something. There you go.

00:03:19.460 --> 00:03:20.060
Coughlin.

00:03:20.100 --> 00:03:20.900
Yeah, anyway.

00:03:21.790 --> 00:03:22.660
Part of the problem, buddy.

00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:23.280
Exactly.

00:03:25.420 --> 00:03:28.160
So yeah, even when I go out, you know, people are wary.

00:03:28.300 --> 00:03:31.320
In fact, I was at Starbucks on Wednesday.

00:03:31.740 --> 00:03:36.100
It was like the last time they let you in the Starbucks because we were sporting

00:03:36.170 --> 00:03:39.120
some pretty serious post-St. Paddy's Day hangovers.

00:03:39.880 --> 00:03:42.780
And so I went out for coffee and greasy McDonald's.

00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:48.200
And I was in the lobby of the Starbucks, which, you know, all the chairs are up and everything.

00:03:48.260 --> 00:04:18.220
I couldn't even tell if they were going to let me in because it was like dark and you know there's no people standing around other than the people making drinks I thought it might have been drive-thru only but I walked in and I was like yeah okay and I ordered ordered a couple drinks and I'm standing there waiting and some other woman comes in and orders and she goes and stands like 90 degrees away from me I mean I don't know how to say that but you know not near me but degrees is not quite a distance by the way I know I'm thinking like you know feet

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:48.220
Anyway, that's pretty far. Yeah. I don't know. I'm visualizing it. But anyway, she's standing relatively near to the counter while I am standing, you know, at least six feet away in another direction. But my drinks came out first. So when I went over to grab it, I leaned in and she leaned back. Because I guess she felt I was too close. And I'm like, bitch, I ain't sick. Well, I'm seeing a lot of that here, dude. People are really taking the six feet thing. I mean, I've even had more than one

00:04:48.660 --> 00:05:18.220
I'm sorry man six feet I didn't mean to get in your face or whatever like yeah and so like when so if you go to Pete's here and stand in line everybody's six feet apart the place is empty just like what you're saying chairs and tables are all gone it is well it's fucking weird is what it is yeah and uh I made a trip out today I've been it's funny because John I was talking to John yesterday and he was talking about having to start a new 14 cycle and I was like what is a 14

00:05:18.820 --> 00:05:47.920
And he's like, you know, 14 days of self-quarantine. And how you have to pretty much start one every time you go out. And I'm like, I got to start like every other day because either I'm going out to the store or I'm going out to get coffee and greasy food. And today I learned about Flying Dog Brewery doing this thing called curbside kegs where they will, you can place an order for a keg and they'll bring it outside into the parking lot. People in masks and gloves will come out, take your credit card.

00:05:48.240 --> 00:06:18.200
and then load the beer in your car and you can off you go. And so I did that today. Yeah, because they have so much that was on tap that they're not pouring now. It's crazy. I've heard a lot of that here in Hawaii. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of local breweries. Like all the breweries, they have inventory that are waiting for distributors to pick up. But distributors aren't going to pick up if no one's ordering the beer because all their restaurants are shut down. So, yeah. I got to say. They just have stuff at the bar, though, that they can't pour. You know, they're not going to be able to get it.

00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:48.200
to bottle all that stuff so what are they gonna do with it send it to wills house i was gonna say i got i got two crawlers and two bottles delivered right to my house from a brewery well you know there's one a new one here in the east bay is announced immediately that they're done they're going out of business i can't remember the name of it just started and um my niece like i've never told you this my niece works for a brewery a craft brewery in milwaukee and they i shit you not are making hand sanitizer wow yeah we have a distillery right down

00:06:48.220 --> 00:07:17.980
Like five minutes from my house, that false church distillery is making hand sanitizer. I heard that somewhere else, too. One in Duluth. Yeah. Yeah. Couldn't you just rub rum on your hands? Wouldn't that be the same? No, I wouldn't have wasted on my hands. Well, you lick it off after. Kind of violating the don't touch your face rule, but still. So, you know, I was a little disappointed because Flying Dog is running this promotion.

00:07:18.220 --> 00:07:47.720
called Isolation Ale. And I'm like, oh, well, that's kind of neat, you know. And they're like, if you get a keg, you get a keg, they're giving, and this made it economically a good deal, you know, because it's like 55 bucks for a sextile of a flying dog. And they're throwing in a tap handle, two glasses, and some stickers to go on the tap handle. I'm like, sweet. Can I say there's one mistake there? It should just be more glass.

00:07:51.740 --> 00:08:17.740
And so I called the place up to put in my order and I'm like, so what is this isolation ale anyway? Is this like a pale ale? What is this? And they're like, oh, it's not a real beer. It's just the name of the promotion. You just have to pick one of our beers. I was like, well, that's kind of disappointing. Okay, but it's a promotion. Okay, so at least, you know, not a single damn product that came out of that place today said that anywhere on it. The glasses were for some other beer and the tap handles just blank. So I'm like,

00:08:17.820 --> 00:08:47.780
Fuck you guys. I've never been a big flying dog fan anyway, so fuck flying dog. So can I ask, is everybody, we're all working from home now, those of us who are? Yes. Will, you are? Kind of. I'm homeschooling my children. That's what I work to. That sounds like work. I'm suddenly a kindergarten. They're going to know so much about metal. Yep. Music. So during my son, who can

00:08:47.820 --> 00:09:15.100
But he's still a beginning reader. And so he has to pick out sight words. So you get to just open up something, a book, whatever, a decibel magazine. And I'm like, look through it and point to all the words you already know. Your sight words. And then for the further musical education, I was going to mention this later, but might as well mention it now. I ordered, now that they remastered all the last four Dio albums.

00:09:17.380 --> 00:09:47.260
So we got those in the mail on vinyl today. Except Magica is all messed up. I have to send it back. It's all. Is it a box, Will? Or is it just you ordered them individually? Well, you can get a box set, but it includes like, it includes this whole discography. And I already have half of them. Well, I have because there's a box for the first three issues. And it stopped at the ones that just now came out. The ones that you're talking about. Yeah, no. I actually, I went on Dio's website.

00:09:47.360 --> 00:10:17.340
but they were going to charge an arm and a leg for shipping so I went on Amazon and bought them on Amazon for the same price with free shipping so yeah okay and it's cool because the album covers are all holographic oh nice really nice touch oh that is cool well can I recommend something for your children sure metal band logo flashcards oh I should that would be good if they can get one incantation in like a second well I would also like to remind you of the where's lemon

00:10:17.380 --> 00:10:47.300
book, which is a nice little, uh, you know, other than the middle finger, it's a nice little, uh, you know, brain teaser activity looking for lemmy in there. That'd be fun. And my son does like lemmy. Hey, Jay, is it like a hundred pages of just pictures of him at, uh, the rainbow room? Yeah. I was just going to say for me,

00:10:47.360 --> 00:11:17.160
As CEO of Skull Fracture LLC, I instituted a mandatory work from home policy seven years ago for my one employee, me. So the coronavirus hasn't changed my day-to-day work schedule or interaction with people all that much. But my wife has to work from home now. So on Tuesday, she was ordered to do work from home. And I actually love that we can chat whenever we want. We can have lunch together. We can donate our cat. But the best part,

00:11:17.520 --> 00:11:47.280
of our new reality was witnessing Tracy's... Is baby Naso in January? Oh, God, no. No, baby. The best part was witnessing Tracy's sudden and euphoric realization that pants are now completely optional. It's been amazing. Yeah, I've been wearing shorts and sweatpants. Speaking of... Me and my wife in the same house, too long trying to homeschool her kids.

00:11:47.380 --> 00:12:17.040
And trying to work, it's fucking hell. Well, they say that after this clears up, it's going to result in either more babies or divorces. Divorces, yeah. So speaking of similar to your experience, Marcus, my wife and I are both working from home now. And I found this on the refrigerator. You can see it. She declared the cat the employee of the month. Nice. You know what we did? Barb's. I'll send it to you, Marcus. Barb's got a.

00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:46.320
a work like, you know, board, digital work board on their site where you can look at stuff. And they, somebody recommended creating an, when, when both spouses are working from home, create an imaginary coworker to blame things on. So, so we created this asshole named Rufus. So every time one of us gets pissed at the other, it's like, God damn it, Rufus. And then the other person laughs and it's good. So. You know, it's funny cause we're what?

00:12:47.380 --> 00:13:16.240
into this thing now. I know. It's hardly even started. There's no worse than a vacation at this point. My wife's way more messy than me. So it's weird because I'm just really organized. Yeah. Can you maybe put your shoes in the closet behind you? You're so full of shit. Well, the closet is open because it's a glass doors. So if I close it, the sun will just like beam out. So we don't have a ton of space.

00:13:17.380 --> 00:13:47.340
with my head last time we did this because the door you can see the door and it looks like there's this whole weird third room there or something it's so strange so yeah and but i figured it out on my own i was like oh i see it's a glass door yeah i mean that's actually pretty pretty neat over there just a lot of stuff in there yeah so uh i was i'm gonna kind of combine this next thing with shirt check because uh both both will and i are wearing

00:13:47.580 --> 00:14:16.720
new shirts that we acquired from the internet recently that are topical. You want to lead with that, Will? Yeah, so there's this website called turnedmetal.com, which I'm assuming means that they will turn any kind of current event, whatever random thing, into a metal t-shirt, mostly death metal or a black metal t-shirt. They'll create a logo. Yeah, so I have this very, very nice t-shirt.

00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:47.340
that I'm showing it to all the boys. And basically it looks like it's coronavirus. And it's supposed to look like a band logo. Kind of in a weird sort of way, it looks like the Carnifex logo. Yeah, a little bit. In a weird sort of way. On the back it says World Tour 2020. And it's like China, Middle East, and then North America, South America. It's basically the coronavirus was a band. Yeah. And so they have stuff that's like death

00:14:47.380 --> 00:15:17.180
metal looking almost album covers and like ones like TP Apocalypse. Yeah, all kinds of stuff like that. So yeah, I got the one. I got the one that it says the beginning of the end and it's got a clock at two minutes to midnight and a pile of skulls in front of it. You know, Kettle Decapitation, just like everybody else in history at this point, just canceled their tour. And now they're not allowed.

00:15:17.380 --> 00:15:18.240
They caused this shit.

00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:21.220
Their tour was called the European Pandemic Tour.

00:15:24.179 --> 00:15:25.560
So let's do shirt check.

00:15:26.060 --> 00:15:27.140
So we know what you boys are wearing.

00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:28.120
I see a chemist.

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:29.560
I see a little decapitation.

00:15:30.300 --> 00:15:32.420
I have the Australian wildlife.

00:15:32.420 --> 00:15:32.820
A secret shirt.

00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:34.280
Australian wildlife.

00:15:34.820 --> 00:15:35.600
Cattle decapitation.

00:15:36.959 --> 00:15:38.640
Oh, that was a benefit thing?

00:15:39.060 --> 00:15:39.220
Yeah.

00:15:39.940 --> 00:15:40.520
I didn't know.

00:15:40.760 --> 00:15:41.440
John, what do we got today?

00:15:41.640 --> 00:15:42.300
Just playing black?

00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:47.080
It's just a boring, the devil's private stash from squatters in Utah.

00:15:47.200 --> 00:16:17.160
I don't even know if I've ever had their beer before but I think Jen got this for me when she was there so. And Marcus son is a chemist and I've got the sort of generic enslaved. I got this as a matter of fact a decibel at the the when they did the cross the last one. Yeah. Which brings us to why we're here at 99.5. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W

00:16:17.180 --> 00:16:24.320
is the horrible but not unexpected news that first of all the decibel tour has been completely

00:16:24.570 --> 00:16:30.720
canceled and that decibel medal and beer fest in philly on april 2nd and 3rd has been postponed

00:16:32.180 --> 00:16:37.080
that's that's being optimistic i think it'll be canceled eventually but can i point out george that

00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.179
now that you're working from from home these news items you're calling agenda items

00:16:43.220 --> 00:17:11.160
Did I say agenda item? That's funny. That's funny because I do make agendas at work. So, God damn. Yeah, me too. George's honeydew list. Yep, yep. Can I just say, when you just read that, George, I just realized, and maybe all are in the same boat, but I even have taken the time to grieve the fact that we are not all getting together because I've been looking forward to getting together with you guys since, like, literally the Sunday that

00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:16.800
I just realized like I've even taken it because there's been so much shit going on with

00:17:16.939 --> 00:17:22.640
everything I haven't even stopped to realize like I'm not gonna see those fuckers you know have a good

00:17:22.819 --> 00:17:28.980
I mean I totally 100% agree with that first and foremost but it's but this whole thing has been like

00:17:29.100 --> 00:17:41.160
that too it's just like it's been this weird mishmash of information coming in so fast you having to make plans that you didn't realize how much this is ruining your fucking life you know what I mean like it's just every once in a while you look up and you're like shit

00:17:41.160 --> 00:18:10.960
Yeah, it's funny. I'm still getting my calendar alerts on my phone that like, oh, High Command was supposed to play at Atlas tonight. No, they're not. We were supposed to go see the Harlem Globetrotters today. No, we're not. I don't do it now, but for the first few days or so, I kept going, oh, are the caps on? No. Yeah. You know, nobody's on. Baseball season. You know, it's funny, too, because I was kind of complaining to you guys about going to see Kiss because I was like, I'm not that psyched about.

00:18:11.180 --> 00:18:40.140
I'm totally 100% glad I went. Which, by the way, never saw, this is true too, never saw people washing their hands more at a concert. Like in the John, the huge line at the toilets and a huge line at the sinks. Because it was already happening at that time. Right. It was crazy. The Decibel Fest is a huge bummer for me, just because obviously I get to see all you guys, like Matt was saying, and drink a lot of beers and have some great metal. But I just don't get hardly any metal here.

00:18:41.180 --> 00:19:09.560
It's especially awful. The one request I had of my wife when we moved to the most remote place on earth was that I could travel to the mainland and attend like one or two metal festivals a year. And it's probably not going to happen at all this year, the way it's looking. Is someone boiling water? No, you know what? It's the start of mob rules, isn't it? Exactly what I just thought, Jay. No, there's something going on with my pipes here.

00:19:11.180 --> 00:19:41.140
Sometimes when somebody upstairs goes to the bathroom, the pipe screams. It's driving me nuts, but I can't get anybody to fix it because nobody's around. Yeah. Geez. Well, anyway, Markisan, you were saying. Yeah, you were. Yeah, no, I was really looking forward to seeing you guys. I was holding out hope. And even if they had canceled the Decibel Fest and we could still get there, I would have gone for sure, you know, just to hang out with you guys. But, you know, there's no traveling anywhere. And I mean, I was really looking forward to

00:19:41.200 --> 00:20:11.100
George and all of his Fredericks of Hollywood outfits that he had planned for us as well. I'm too sexy for this leather boost thing. I don't know what it is. It's sexy. It's too sexy. Yeah, I'm bummed. I hope they get to reschedule and we get to do it. And, you know, it's cool because when they do reschedule it, I've got nothing on the slate. So I'm not worried about it conflicting with anything else. It's just, yeah, I can't imagine when it's going to be. I mean, have they,

00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:41.100
Have they scheduled a Decibel LA in December yet? Because if they haven't, that's like... No, I don't think so. You know, it's going to be a while. It's going to be late in the year if it is. Well, they usually start planning LA after the Philly one is over. And they focus on that. It is funny because I texted Albert, the editor of Decibel, a couple weeks ago when George was, you know, the sky is falling and, you know, the world's going to shit.

00:20:42.179 --> 00:20:43.840
I predict things well.

00:20:45.800 --> 00:20:46.900
And he's like, they're going to cancel.

00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:51.680
So I texted Albert like, hey, have you made a decision about canceling?

00:20:52.220 --> 00:20:52.780
Hell no.

00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:57.500
I just went today to the Fillmore in Philadelphia and I did the walkthrough and we never even mentioned it.

00:20:57.500 --> 00:20:59.160
It didn't even come up in conversation.

00:21:00.140 --> 00:21:02.040
And then like a week later, he's like, yep, it's canceled.

00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.620
I want to say there was something that came down that made it obvious it was going to happen.

00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:10.420
And it might have been the California lockdowns.

00:21:10.460 --> 00:21:40.300
I can't remember, but there was like some lockdown happening. I was like, yeah. As soon as that happened. All the cities, all the cities start saying show gatherings over 1,000. Oh, right, right, right, right. And now it's like. It's like 10 people. Hey, let me ask you this. Have you guys noticed, and this really is happening here, I see less airplanes in this guy for sure, man. I don't go outside, so I don't know. This is an air traffic town, and I'm not seeing, I mean, they are not flying right now. There are airplanes in there, but. We are in the flight path for Dulles, so.

00:21:40.460 --> 00:21:43.160
There's always planes landing, but I haven't been outside a lot.

00:21:43.900 --> 00:21:47.440
Yeah, I live like two miles from Regan National Airport.

00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:49.240
Not a lot of planes.

00:21:50.420 --> 00:21:57.780
Yeah, but I live like four miles from, or maybe five, from where Will's talking about.

00:21:57.940 --> 00:22:01.600
But by my house, I got a ton of choppers going over all the time.

00:22:01.860 --> 00:22:04.300
They're going probably back and forth to the Pentagon.

00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:05.900
They go right over our house all the time.

00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:35.880
Yeah, they go from the Pentagon down to Fort Belvoir or to Anacostia. Yeah. Naval, Bowling Air Force Base, Joint Base Anacostia Bowling. And then they also go down to Quantico and, yeah, Annadale, where you live, is like right in the flight path. They probably go right by the I-95 quarter, which splits right between Will and I. So we hear them all the time. I realized that San Diego Comic-Con has not yet been,

00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:39.120
It will, though. I mean, they're talking about the Olympics at this point.

00:22:40.620 --> 00:22:42.280
When is the Comic-Con?

00:22:42.860 --> 00:22:44.800
I believe it's July.

00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:47.340
June or July. I can't remember.

00:22:47.940 --> 00:22:49.440
I do actually have a plane ticket for that.

00:22:49.890 --> 00:22:52.240
I do have a Southwest ticket, so it's easy to change it.

00:22:52.420 --> 00:22:56.700
I was going to ask you guys, did you all get refunded for plane tickets and a hotel and everything?

00:22:56.870 --> 00:22:57.340
No problem.

00:22:58.330 --> 00:22:58.940
Hotel, yes.

00:23:00.360 --> 00:23:03.760
John BT was actually made our reservation, and he got 100% back.

00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:34.160
And then in my plane, I'll be honest with you, I hate to be this guy, like I should worry more about money, but I canceled it. And all it said was some portion of this is non-refundable and it didn't say what. So I was just going to wait and see what happened on my credit card statement. But I expected that. I thought I'm going to lose something. Mine did that too, but then I put a request in to refund the full amount because of everything that's going on. And yes, they refund it within days. So I might, I might try doing that, Jay, because it's a lot of money. I will. Who was, um, who were you flying? I think it was Merrick.

00:23:34.800 --> 00:24:03.880
Okay, I'm delta, I think. But I'll look it up. Thanks, man. I appreciate that. I don't think it was a real expensive ticket in my case. Yeah, I had a double ticket. And, you know, they had changed. They had, if you had ordered a plane ticket within a certain amount of time, you could change it over to something else. But I didn't want to change it because I have no idea, you know, when decibels are going to come up. So I just canceled it. And then, like I said, I just put in a request to get the money back. Because you can do it for exceptional situations.

00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:05.700
Like if somebody dies or

00:24:06.900 --> 00:24:08.500
you know you have a medical condition

00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:10.640
so I'm like well I think maybe this kind of

00:24:10.780 --> 00:24:11.200
qualifies

00:24:12.820 --> 00:24:13.220
yeah

00:24:15.840 --> 00:24:16.720
by the way

00:24:16.860 --> 00:24:18.660
man I'm kind of changing gears here but what

00:24:18.820 --> 00:24:20.060
the fuck is going on in Italy dude

00:24:20.840 --> 00:24:22.680
I don't know how many people dying there every

00:24:22.760 --> 00:24:24.540
day 750 people died there

00:24:24.740 --> 00:24:26.140
yesterday in one day

00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:27.760
yeah holy crap

00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:29.820
the day before that it was like 650

00:24:31.660 --> 00:24:32.519
go ahead Matt

00:24:32.520 --> 00:25:01.900
No, no, no. You were there. My wife and I are talking about today and our, the conclusion we came to is that the Italian culture is super like, like they're very affectionate with each other. So they're always so close to each other, which is, that is how we believe it just spreads so quickly. But the other thing is that so many people smoke in Italy. And when you're a smoker and you actually are older and you contract it, then it just destroys your lungs. Yeah, I can imagine. I spent a lot of time in the Balkans.

00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:31.860
and in the Balkans, like, you know, Montenegro and Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, it's like, they'll let you smoke in, like, an infant ICU ward, like the NICU, you know? They smoke, everybody smokes, and they smoke everywhere, and I'm like, they're all gonna fucking die. Yeah. I'm really glad you got out of there, Matt. Oh, yeah, me too. That was right around the edge, too. I actually had a niece in France that was flying home Saturday, and the Friday was the day,

00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:35.380
that they were shutting it down though they were still in americans come back as well you know but

00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:40.960
they like they had a lot we were in venice and on that saturday night they had locked down

00:25:41.140 --> 00:25:45.380
those cities in milan and my wife like woke up in a panic and was going to try and change our flight

00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:50.640
but we were too far away from milan to actually be able to get there in time and so we just trained right

00:25:50.740 --> 00:25:57.140
to milan got a cab to our hotel which was like 45 minutes outside we just did not move you know got up

00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:01.900
the airport was right across the street got to the airport flew home and was like fuck

00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:07.460
Yeah. I expected you to at least be in quarantine when you got back.

00:26:07.760 --> 00:26:30.720
It's funny you say that, Jay, because that's been ringing in my head. And I can go into like this story if you guys want. Like getting to New York and walking through customs and them, you know, the agent says, where are you guys coming from? Like Italy. Okay, great. Welcome back. Do you have any meat? No. Okay, awesome. Go. And I was like, holy shit. How did they like, they didn't take our temperature. They didn't ask us any questions.

00:26:31.680 --> 00:27:01.320
Got on a plane flew home. No questions asked. And then we just we got home and we just kind of laid low for a couple days. And I called my work and I was like, are you guys okay if I come back? I'm like, Oh, yeah, whatever. Come on. I was like, Okay, like, No, we actually really need you back. And so I went back to work. And I mean, I was there and I felt okay. But I thought, I don't really want to get close to anybody. And so I spent like two weeks doing that. And there I just had so honestly, so much anxiety because people were getting closer to me.

00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:31.640
I would have been comfortable getting to them if I had known they were in Italy. And again, I had no reason to believe that I had contracted anything. I had no symptoms. I mean, everything was fine. And then last week, it was about Wednesday, Thursday, my wife started feeling, she had like a sore throat. And keep in mind, the day before that, at my work, they had posted a sign on the door that said, if you have flu symptoms, if you've been near somebody who has the coronavirus, or if you've been in

00:27:31.660 --> 00:28:01.600
China or Italy in the last 14 days don't walk in this building. I was on day like 17. But that was enough to kind of give me even more anxiety to think like, oh, fuck, I'm going to get inhaled for this. So she came down with a sore throat and she went through and they had like an online thing you fill out. And they said she should come in. Strangely enough, I did the same form because I had had like a runny nose and like a scratchy throat for a while. But the fact that I had been in Italy, I put that on there as well. And I thought that would for sure have been like a trigger. And they said, nope, you're fine.

00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:03.460
I was fine unless you test positive but

00:28:03.740 --> 00:28:05.180
she did that like on a Thursday

00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:07.760
they said well now you have to quarantine yourself

00:28:08.090 --> 00:28:09.880
until you get your results

00:28:10.080 --> 00:28:11.920
which so her and I sat at home

00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:14.120
Thursday all day Friday

00:28:14.760 --> 00:28:15.540
all day Saturday

00:28:15.930 --> 00:28:17.680
and keep in mind our kids were not with us

00:28:17.840 --> 00:28:18.980
so that was even more stressful

00:28:20.120 --> 00:28:21.460
oh baby Stewart

00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:22.400
January

00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:25.720
unfortunately none of that

00:28:25.810 --> 00:28:28.400
we were both I mean I was fine the first couple days

00:28:28.540 --> 00:28:29.620
and then by the third day I was like

00:28:30.080 --> 00:28:31.640
we need to figure this shit out

00:28:31.640 --> 00:29:01.460
because I'm going to lose my mind. Because we were like 99% sure that everything was fine. It was like that 1% just can drive you crazy if you don't have enough to do. And so got it. She was negative. So, you know, we were just like, well, obviously I'm negative as well. Wait, the pregnancy test or the coronavirus test? All the above. I tried so hard. But then, yeah, Monday came around in my office. My office sent something out like Sunday saying, you know, we're going to figure out something.

00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:28.720
And then Monday morning they said, if you can work from home, work from home. And so, you know, my wife already, yeah, my wife already works from home. So it's been more of the kids and I liked because the school got canceled that same day as well. She was going to keep them home anyways. But then, yeah. So what we're doing is she's on the lower level. I'm on the main level with the kids and we try not to drive each other crazy. But when you're working, this is our new normal. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We do that too. I'm upstairs. She's downstairs.

00:29:29.360 --> 00:29:59.140
Do you guys realize by this time in the last episode, we already had like 352 F words drop? Well, fucking shit. Yeah. So MDF was canceled too. Or postponed or whatever. What is? I'm just trying to keep us a little bit on schedule. It's going to the next agenda. I see. Yeah. So MDF. Let me just say one thing to go back to your point, Jay, about your surprise.

00:29:59.360 --> 00:30:26.860
We didn't get quarantined. That has been in my head for the last three weeks. Also, we're sitting here thinking, so many more people have this than what we know about. Because there was no talk about 14 days. Nobody said shit to me. That is how we knew that this was going to spread very rapidly. There's not enough testing out there. They're just doing testing here in Hawaii, right in my area, Kaka'ako, where I live. So they have a mobile drive-through testing.

00:30:29.380 --> 00:30:58.980
for it, but the number of cases have jumped because we didn't have that many. And now it's up to like 400 something. Yeah. I think the real question is, how do you spell caca-a-co? Yeah. Fuck Fino. Poo emoji. And how do you spell fuck Fino? You know, if you, I will say this too, and this is for confidence for you guys and everybody else. Not that you need me to give you confidence, but you might've had it already. You know what I mean? I thought so too. For some, for some people,

00:30:59.340 --> 00:31:04.280
You're asymptotic. You don't really get anything bad about it. It's funny because there was a really

00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:09.820
shitty flu that went through our library in January. Two different people told me I thought I was going to die.

00:31:10.950 --> 00:31:21.000
They literally, like I've never had a flu where I felt that bad. And I've been thinking back and thinking that I didn't feel so good for a couple days after that. And I was thinking, no, I might already be immune. I'm not going to act like I am.

00:31:21.100 --> 00:31:25.680
I was thinking that too. I got really unwell for a couple of days. I went into work.

00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:56.940
So you might have had it. I had a fever for a couple of days. I just felt like I really had the flu really bad. And then after a couple of days, I felt better. Yeah. I don't know. And it's different people differently. It's not just the age and the lungs thing. Some people just literally doesn't hit them that hard. Yeah. And that was cold. Totally in my mind. It's like, what if I'm asymptomatic of my work? I mean, my office is like a thousand people. You know? For sure. Yeah. Well, it's just crazy when you go out on a supply run.

00:31:57.020 --> 00:31:57.960
You just don't know

00:31:58.560 --> 00:31:59.920
You know, I had to get kitty food

00:32:00.070 --> 00:32:01.800
I was like, I gotta stock up on this

00:32:01.900 --> 00:32:02.660
Because I just don't know

00:32:03.010 --> 00:32:03.920
If they're gonna shut down

00:32:04.140 --> 00:32:04.860
If it's gonna be available

00:32:05.040 --> 00:32:06.880
And my cat eats special food

00:32:07.820 --> 00:32:09.540
So, um, there's a lady there

00:32:09.570 --> 00:32:10.920
And she's right next to me

00:32:10.970 --> 00:32:11.360
In line

00:32:11.430 --> 00:32:12.460
And she's just hacking away

00:32:12.760 --> 00:32:13.360
I'm like, oh great

00:32:13.740 --> 00:32:15.180
I walk away when I see that, dude

00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:16.380
I'm at least willing to do that

00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:18.440
I'll just go a different direction

00:32:18.520 --> 00:32:20.080
But I, I'd say here so far

00:32:20.080 --> 00:32:20.700
I have to say

00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:22.200
I haven't seen any sick people

00:32:22.380 --> 00:32:23.060
That doesn't mean anything

00:32:23.170 --> 00:32:23.760
I just haven't

00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:25.240
I did that in the grocery

00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:26.980
Last time I was in the grocery store

00:32:27.420 --> 00:32:56.500
I turned into an aisle. I started walking down. There was a woman halfway down the aisle. She was like... I stopped. I looked up at the sign. I was like, wrong aisle. I turned around and left. Then I waited until she left and I went back down the other aisle. You grabbed that box of Snickers that she just coughed all over. My brother may have already had it. He was in Seattle. I may have mentioned this last episode.

00:32:57.000 --> 00:33:26.220
Seattle got shut down. He was at Amazon where one of the people was sick. And he came back and he was sick. Like the Amazon. Amazon, Amazon. Like the camps. He was there interviewing for a job. And. No, he was in Brazil, Jay. Yeah. I thought it was like an Amazon cafe or something. And he came back and was sick.

00:33:26.980 --> 00:33:55.700
Had a sore throat and wasn't feeling well. But then after a little while he got better. But then his wife works in a hospital. And I think I already told you guys this today. But she was told that they have several people at the hospital who have coronavirus. And they've been told to report to work anyway because they have so much to do. So she's probably going to get it. And if he didn't have it before, he's going to have it. And this is in Michigan? This is in Atlanta.

00:33:56.800 --> 00:34:26.720
Outside of Atlanta. Douglasville, in case anybody's listening and gives a shit. Well, hey, handing to the Centers for Disease Control. All right. So our next item is another festival that is questionable. That is the Maryland Death Fest. They're planning to reschedule. And they're saying that there's absolutely no way they can cancel because there's way too much money sunk into this thing that they can't afford to lose. So when they do eventually cancel, I have to assume this is going to be the end of Maryland Death Fest because they're just going to be fucked and not have any money to continue.

00:34:27.580 --> 00:34:55.720
And probably a couple other things too, yeah. I mean, yeah. Some of these people aren't going to survive this blow. Some of these, when I say people, I mean, you know, festivals and whatnot. Yeah. That's the worst part about it. Some of the things. Businesses, festivals, musicians, just people in general. There's, you know, after a month or even a couple months, they're not going to be able to live. That's what I worry about too with the coronavirus is this. It goes like three months.

00:34:56.080 --> 00:35:26.040
People are going to riot. People are not going to be able to stay in. They're going to get desperate. They have to make money. They have to have food. I don't know what's going to happen. That's what I'm really worried about. It's going to be messed up. Speaking of going under, Atlas is opening up our second location right by Nats Park. The whole point of putting it by Nats Park is when it's baseball season. It's just going to be flooding. It's literally...

00:35:26.060 --> 00:35:55.840
George and John know. It's right on Half Street, right at the Metro. It's literally like you can throw a baseball and hit center gate field or center field gate at Nest Park. And like this, we spent all this money trying to get this place up and running. And then now it's like baseball's canceled. And, and, and the breweries are now takeout only like, fuck. Yeah. I note that about every new business in my neighborhood. Cause there's a few, there's this Mexican restaurant that woke up and went crazy. As soon as they opened up,

00:35:56.080 --> 00:36:25.840
I'll stand in line. Now what are they going to do? So is it easier to get Pliny now? No, they only ever do that. I mean, maybe they'll do it as a benefit or something. They tend to do stuff like that. But I mean, I will say this, even though I understand, I know a lot of these places are closing down. Like, um, Russian rivers, like, you know, they have a tasting room, but that's really it. I mean, people are still buying beer. I mean, and so I, I, I'm wondering about why some of them are having trouble unless it is like,

00:36:26.080 --> 00:36:55.260
It's because depending upon where you are, like in D.C., like Atlas does most of our, so if you're near a city, most of your product is going to be, like 75% is going to be in kegs to direct to retail establishments, to bars and restaurants if you're in a city. If you, like here's a good example. So if you're in D.C., most of your beer is in bars and restaurants.

00:36:55.580 --> 00:37:25.460
So and like 25 or whatever, 30% of it is package, like canning or bottling it. In Alice's case, we can it. If you're a brewery in Virginia, because Virginia doesn't have any bars, they just have restaurants that have bars in them. Really? And you can buy, you know, beer easily in a grocery store, 7-Eleven, wherever that in Virginia, it's like 75 or whatever, 60 some percent of it is packaged, bought on third page.

00:37:25.540 --> 00:37:29.400
party sellers which is like retailers and stuff like that not in bars and restaurants so

00:37:30.340 --> 00:37:35.300
if you are a brewery in dc right now you're really hurting because people aren't going to bars

00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:40.720
and drinking your beer so that that's the big difference and no no no i'll buy it i you know i so and

00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:44.880
actually i i sort of misspoke i just i think like russian river is probably doing fine there's

00:37:44.900 --> 00:37:50.440
probably a few that are doing fine but i know there i know for a fact like um i don't know uh they're

00:37:50.460 --> 00:38:20.220
They've been very successful, but I don't know about field work, John. Most of their stuff is either out of the brewery or in restaurants, as we'll say. And they've been super successful, but how long can you go? How many months do you got before you margins start coming in? Yeah. So as mentioned, a lot of tours are getting canceled. John just had the Devin Townsend.

00:38:20.600 --> 00:38:50.040
Tour canceled on him. Was that Monday? Well, it was postponed. They've already announced a new date. End of September, they'll be back in Baltimore. That's what's scheduled. I think they wanted to get it in place. They'll cancel, obviously, or postpone if they have to, but I think it was just to put it in place. By the way, going back to what Markson was saying, the first city in the United States is going to riot in Baltimore. Did you see that the mayor said, please stop shooting each other so we have more hospital beds for coronavirus?

00:38:50.940 --> 00:39:20.220
And that wasn't an onion story, by the way. I saw the headline. Is that a real story? I believe it was. That's fucked up, dude. Have you been to Baltimore? Yeah, unfortunately, but I honestly didn't dig any deeper than the headline. I was like, that could be a joke. Well, I looked at the, I thought it was like the sun or something, but yeah, I looked to see if it was onion or hard times or any of those that are. It looked real, though. I think it was real. I think it was. I also have an upcoming show that was postponed, The Monster Magnet.

00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:21.760
show in Baltimore.

00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:26.080
And they've rescheduled that one as well for February of 2021.

00:39:26.720 --> 00:39:29.380
I'm like, so I don't know.

00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:29.760
We'll see.

00:39:30.240 --> 00:39:32.200
I don't know if there's going to be a world left by then, but.

00:39:33.220 --> 00:39:37.700
But that's the, that's like the safest bet right now is to push it out as far as you can.

00:39:38.300 --> 00:39:38.400
Yeah.

00:39:38.580 --> 00:39:41.400
I mean, all our shows at Atlas has so far been canceled.

00:39:42.740 --> 00:39:48.980
And we had some, even some a little bit later, like in June, because like we may be the last stop,

00:39:49.520 --> 00:40:19.460
Like the East Coast may be the last stop on the tour. So we were supposed to have Necrot and Fetid. I think that was June 1st. And that got postponed because the tour got postponed. Right. You know, I was super excited. April 1st was the Riding Kingdom. Tonight was supposed to be High Command. Morpheus Descend was supposed to play, I think, next week. Riding Rice and Borknagard just got canceled here. Obviously, it's one of the things I had coming up. They actually, that's one of the other tours that announced new schedules.

00:40:19.540 --> 00:40:21.180
dates in 2021.

00:40:22.820 --> 00:40:25.460
But you know what? Can I just suggest, though, too?

00:40:25.600 --> 00:40:28.620
Because here's what I think people haven't really started to wrap their heads around yet,

00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:32.060
is including my boss and my wife's boss,

00:40:32.160 --> 00:40:33.420
which is like we all need to be really,

00:40:33.680 --> 00:40:37.280
they want us to be really productive in this downtime.

00:40:38.460 --> 00:40:40.840
And I don't think what people realize is it's going to get stretched out

00:40:40.900 --> 00:40:42.320
until like two months so that when we get back,

00:40:42.520 --> 00:40:44.000
all we're going to do is spend our time cleaning up

00:40:44.640 --> 00:40:45.840
and trying to get things restarted.

00:40:46.020 --> 00:40:48.080
But here's my point, is that you know how hard it's going to be

00:40:48.080 --> 00:41:18.060
for some of these European bands to get visas for a couple of years and shit. Dude, it's going to, this is going to disrupt the fuck out of everything for a long time. Yeah. Because cleaning up the mess is not going to be easy. Even just in the sort of statutory kind of legal sense. You know what I mean? Like when do we start letting everybody just fly around the way they want to again? And when are people going to start, like say, say the summer comes and UV light does its magic, kills cells, everyone's outside, everyone stops congregating because it's cold outside. And say this thing goes away for the most

00:41:18.700 --> 00:41:47.100
But that lingering thought of like, you know, for the last three months or whatever, people are like, hey, don't get near each other. Don't go. Don't gather large crowds. And then you may just see a drop off in attendance. Yeah. People are unsure. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, the whole the whole summer and the heat thing is bullshit because right now it's like 100 degrees in India and they're you know, they've got it. So no, the whole thing with like the seasonal flu. The reason why is people it's cold outside.

00:41:47.200 --> 00:42:17.020
So people stay inside. They congregate closer together in homes. They're not going outside. I mean, UV light does help a little bit, but it's mostly just because it's human interaction. It's human behavior when it's cold out. Yeah. Yeah, because you get a cold in the summer. But counting the cost, this whole thing of rescheduling, and as you say, people just getting comfortable being in groups again, I don't know how long this is going to take. We're not even anywhere close to being free from our houses yet anyway.

00:42:17.200 --> 00:42:43.780
Have you looked at the current population in India? They just have so many fucking people. If they are outside, they're still close together. One million. That's true. I will reiterate my comment from our group message that if we are all together, there will be no social distancing. Oh, no. We will be sharing our infected saliva. I mean, George has been coughing a lot. Well, I have other orifices you can protect us.

00:42:47.200 --> 00:43:17.180
We're going to be a decibel fest with six different rooms with like 50-foot cables. Yeah, I'm really bummed that, you know, as we mentioned on the last episode, that our 100th episode was coming up and that we were going to do the whole top 50 albums of 50 years of heavy metal, and we were going to all get together, and we were all going to get hammered, and we'd be like, woo-hoo! You know. Abdecibel, yeah. And that's not happening, you know. We're still planning to do that in another week or so, but it's going to be everybody's

00:43:17.200 --> 00:43:47.060
So it's not going to be as exciting and deboshed as I had hoped. Do we have a date for that? I know you mentioned doing it on John's birthday, but sorry, John, I don't actually know what date your birthday is. Except maybe it's the 25th. The 4th. It was the week in a decibel fest, but that's okay. I was thinking we were going to do it next weekend if we could. Oh, I have plans. I'm going to have any plans. No plans. This is the best part. I have a fuck of a time trying to schedule this.

00:43:47.220 --> 00:43:48.440
with six people on here.

00:43:49.080 --> 00:43:49.920
And that is easy.

00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:50.820
If I have.

00:43:50.980 --> 00:43:51.800
Tell your hand.

00:43:52.050 --> 00:43:54.380
Tell your hand that you've got to do the cast next week.

00:43:54.560 --> 00:43:56.960
If I have one gripe about the only gripe.

00:43:56.970 --> 00:43:57.960
He's bringing his hand to the cast.

00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:01.460
Just make sure you wipe it down.

00:44:01.510 --> 00:44:02.280
I can do this without hands.

00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:05.480
Awesome.

00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:08.740
I'm just going to adjust his camera so you can't see his hand.

00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:11.060
So now I can just be like, hey, we're doing this.

00:44:11.320 --> 00:44:12.100
And what are you going to say?

00:44:12.160 --> 00:44:12.440
Oh.

00:44:13.500 --> 00:44:16.380
It's funny you say that because sometimes George.

00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:46.760
George has this thing where he has like shaky leg syndrome or something and when he podcast he sits there and constantly shakes his leg and if his hands are on his lap it just looks like you're jerking off the entire time well actually you may just be jerking off the entire time I might be I didn't realize you could tell is I doing it now well I don't know you're on the stall yeah yeah yeah I bounce my leg a lot nervous yeah and my hands tend to be on my

00:44:49.540 --> 00:45:16.760
I put up our usual hey we're recording an episode on the Facebook thing you might want to look at it because I just realized there's six figures in the picture so there's one for each of us you know what I mean I always do the hey we're recording tonight I think so is it the four horsemen apocalypse and two of them have girlfriends no it's a still from the walking dead it's plagued it's a plagued actors you know the guys with the thing oh nice yeah but it really works because there's six of them it's not black and white though that's weird but yeah

00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:46.100
That does totally work. I just wanted one with more numbers in it, so I went for the highest count I could find, and I just now realized that was exactly right. That's awesome. When we were in Venice, that's all we saw was because it was the carnival. It was that and the... Oh, yeah, yeah. Ironic. I'm really glad we have this podcast, though, because now that we all have to be in isolation, it's nice to be able to talk to you guys and just bullshit about metal. We have the format. We have it all ready. We just have to jump on.

00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:49.320
So it's really nice. Good interaction. I feel like

00:45:51.360 --> 00:45:53.400
speaking for normal regular episodes,

00:45:53.640 --> 00:45:55.660
I feel like we could probably do two a month now.

00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:00.220
Until this ends.

00:46:01.080 --> 00:46:01.860
Let's do our part.

00:46:02.780 --> 00:46:03.640
And what I mean is,

00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:06.580
really, people are looking for shit to do right now, man.

00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:08.320
We have people listen to this show,

00:46:08.360 --> 00:46:11.500
so we should come up with some stuff to talk about.

00:46:12.080 --> 00:46:13.920
I already got ten top fives.

00:46:14.120 --> 00:46:14.520
I know.

00:46:15.420 --> 00:46:15.760
Hey, George,

00:46:16.740 --> 00:46:46.080
George has suggested we reach out to some of our friends sorry John to some of our sons I'd like and I we should get Matt Moss on yeah I had a long conversation with Joel from Thrasenblatt today which inspired me to say hey I want to do this thing I'm gonna call it coronavirus diaries and reach out to I have actually have a list of like 15 people that I would like to reach out to that have been on the podcast and you know

00:46:46.100 --> 00:47:15.520
either me or any of you all that are available at the time. We can basically just talk about, you know, hey, like where are you in the world? How is your area affected? How are you affected? You know, one of the things that you, aside from the fact that you get an email from every place you've ever shopped in your life telling you what they're doing about the coronavirus, but every freaking band out there is like, I'm using this downtime to work on new music. And so that's going to be sort of the,

00:47:15.560 --> 00:47:44.120
The body of this is like, well, aside from how you're being affected by this, are you doing anything to kill the time by making new music or whatever? And that is basically the discussion that Joel and I had today is he wants to do something with this downtime and all sorts of other stuff that I just can't tell you. I cut John off a minute ago, so let's think John back in.

00:47:44.180 --> 00:48:14.160
because I think it's okay Jay because George set it up we mentioned Devin Townsend you know postponing his tour George has listed down here Devin Townsend's quarantine project I don't know I mean you guys know I'm a disciple of the Devin Townsend madness but he actually is been doing a ton of stuff as a way of saying thanks back to the fans but he did a GoFundMe because he lost a ton of money having the tour postponed and all the workers

00:48:14.200 --> 00:48:44.160
that are involved. It wasn't just him. It was everyone else that was involved. And so he did a GoFundMe and was trying to raise money to help them out. And I think it was set at $50,000. And I think in the first few days, they raised something like $70,000 already. But he's releasing material. He's already written two new songs and put them online already. So I know you guys wanted to talk about bands that are doing stuff now during this time off. I don't know if you guys know much about him, but since he's

00:48:44.200 --> 00:49:14.040
Yeah, it's been clean. His mind is going a thousand miles. He's like the, what's the collider in Lucerne or whatever. Yeah, that's his mind. He's constantly working on stuff. He's already done four things on this project in the last like four days. I was thinking earlier, I was like, man, it'd be so cool to like tweet him and be like, dude, will you come on and talk about this? I know he won't, but it'd be cool. Also, I think it's the large Hadron Collider. Large Hadron Collider. Yeah, it's CERN.

00:49:14.180 --> 00:49:43.740
Yeah. But, you know, I said, go ahead, John. No, I was, it's just that I'm seeing this, a ton of bands, like, I know you guys have heard of the band Anathema. They just came out and said they're completely broke now because of what happened, because they sunk so much money to this upcoming tour. They lost everything on this tour, they said. So here's the thing. So A, we're going to see these people who are being creative, but you know what? This is going to kill some bands. I don't mean literally, but you know what I mean? Like some bands are going to break up because of this.

00:49:44.200 --> 00:50:13.540
because they'll find out being such financial straits and unable to move forward. That's a depressing thought. Because a band is like a small business. And small business is getting hurt, man. Yeah. So it'll be horrible to count that cost two years from now and look at all the bands who didn't make new music anymore because this put them under too much in the black or the red or whatever the fuck it is. The red. And with our luck, we'll know it won't be five-finger death punch. Wow. We can hope, though. I won't.

00:50:14.180 --> 00:50:43.900
Yeah. So I want, I do got to sell something real quick only because he reminded me. I watched this show on Prime the other day. I think it is. And it's maybe I bet you some of you have seen it. It was a documentary called Hired Guns. Oh, that's a J. It's absolutely awesome. I love that one. So worth seeing. I had, I think I'd seen it in the background and I was like, okay, I'll watch this tonight. It's about, it's about musicians who are basically hired guns, but you know, everybody from Billy Joel's drummer to John Cougar's drummer to, um,

00:50:44.180 --> 00:51:14.140
One of those douchebags in Five Finger Death Punch, who apparently played with, was it Hilary Duff or one of those? Yeah. And anyway, but it's a really interesting thing to watch. I highly recommend it. And there's a lot of metal stuff in it, but a lot of non-metal stuff. And you just hear a lot of cool stories and that kind of thing about what it's like to be one of these guys who lives paycheck to paycheck and is like two feet left of the spotlight. If you enjoy that, then I would suggest then watching The Wrecking Crew after that, which was a group of musicians in the 60s and 70s that were,

00:51:14.200 --> 00:51:43.380
Basically the backbone of every song you heard coming out of LA. They played on it even though they weren't in those bands. It's fabulous stuff if you're interested in what goes on behind the scenes and making albums. Where can you see that one? Netflix I think has that one. But it's on Prime if it's not. That's an awesome documentary and John's not exaggerating. They were responsible for fucking everything. Every great album like Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys. It's half of the musicians on there are session musicians.

00:51:45.220 --> 00:52:13.520
Yeah, totally worth watching. But anyway, Hired Guns and, as John mentions, The Wrecking Crew, if you're looking for something to do. And the ZZ Top documentary. I'm like halfway through that ZZ Top documentary. Good stuff. Yeah, it's good, right? I mean, it just stops abruptly after Eliminator, which is actually fine, because as far as I'm concerned, so do they. But it's still... They're doing a part two, though, Jay. Oh, okay. Well, that explains it, because it does just end. Yeah, it's called part two, The Sword. Ah.

00:52:15.500 --> 00:52:40.560
So Matt, would you say you're half done? Sort of. Done, as in Sam's own. Bad joke. Jay, did you recommend that movie Hereditary a few podcasts back? I've recommended it to people before. Yeah, I think you did. I watched it. It was awesome. It was really fucked up, too, especially the end.

00:52:44.180 --> 00:53:12.460
It's fucking great. I got it. What's the premise of Hereditary? I think I've seen it. It's about this group that kind of clandestinely spends this long period of time trying to bring this demon into existence and they kind of focus it on this one person's family and they don't know. You don't know. Which I just kind of ruined some of the movie for you. But in any case. But there's so many psychological layers to it and stuff.

00:53:14.180 --> 00:53:16.280
It's the same guy who directed Midsommar

00:53:16.380 --> 00:53:18.040
and I thought he did one before

00:53:18.180 --> 00:53:20.020
He's mixed in with the witch guy

00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:20.640
somehow

00:53:21.080 --> 00:53:24.220
Maybe that was it

00:53:26.320 --> 00:53:28.480
You know like Midsommar just as much

00:53:28.550 --> 00:53:28.700
dude

00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:32.800
It was so much better

00:53:32.870 --> 00:53:33.780
than I thought it was going to be

00:53:33.830 --> 00:53:35.680
because I was like it's just like a Wicker Man thing

00:53:35.780 --> 00:53:37.340
No it's so much better than that

00:53:37.370 --> 00:53:38.520
It was fucking great

00:53:39.580 --> 00:53:40.400
Really dark

00:53:41.180 --> 00:53:42.740
I like the trailer for it

00:53:42.740 --> 00:54:11.980
It does tell half the tale. And it's pretty graphic in place. Yeah, you're gonna like it. Okay. Right. So the news, if you read the news at all, you see about the celebrities like Tom Hanks and Idris Elba having coronavirus. But in our corner of the world, a couple of people are sick as well. And that would be Gary Holt of Exodus and formerly of Slayer and Will Carroll, the drummer for Death Angel.

00:54:12.640 --> 00:54:40.280
And while Gary Holt seems to be holding on pretty well, Will Carroll sounds like he's in pretty dire straits. And as somebody who's only like, I think he's 41, I kind of, you know, a lot of the naysayers are like, oh, it's only going to kill old people. I'll be fine. But there's a lot of people that are not old that are in a bad way because of this thing. And unfortunately, Will's one of them. So, you know, good luck to him and I hope he pulls through.

00:54:41.420 --> 00:55:11.160
I don't want to start any rumors, but Gary Holt said several of us are sick. And I would just remind you that what they were coming back from was that Bay Area tour. It was Testament, Exodus, Death Angel. That might be it. So those guys were all on a bus together. And he said a few of them are sick, but it could be crew members too. He said he had the symptoms, but he didn't get diagnosed with coronavirus. No, he got tested. There's a new story. He got tested, but for whatever reason,

00:55:11.260 --> 00:55:41.220
and he says it'll be seven days before he has his results. Did you say, Matt, it took you like seven days? It was supposed to be 48 hours and it was about 70 when my wife got hers. So Gary Holtz said he's had the test. He's waiting. They told him seven days to hear the result, but then he's also doing okay. So, or at least, you know, improving. Right. But yeah, that's scary. And there's going to be more, man. You can count on it. There's going to be more. I just want to say if it looks like I have restless leg syndrome, I'm just

00:55:41.240 --> 00:56:11.180
My cat with my foot. Bon Jovi's keyboardist has it too. You're rubbing your pants? Yeah, yeah, I heard that. I had heard that. Get the super curly hair. We got to save Sammy Hagar. Nobody go around Sammy Hagar. Motherfucker's old. Let me ask you this. I'm sure in a vaguely related story, you guys probably also Kenny Rogers died, right? Yeah, and you know the first thing I did was like look to see. Coronavirus, was it? Nope. Natural.

00:56:11.260 --> 00:56:39.900
He was in hospice for months. Yeah. So he died. But that was the first question most of us asked ourselves. You know, so it's just like, yeah. Hey, hey, to his and his to his extreme respect, you got to know when to fold them. Exactly. So speaking of people that weren't that old, speaking of people that that weren't too old, but got this and died. Mexico's first coronavirus death was this 40 year old guy who attended a ghost concert.

00:56:42.380 --> 00:57:11.220
And there was some implication that he'd gotten it at the ghost concert, but I don't know. Or maybe they were saying he was at the ghost concert because like, hey, look out. If you're at the ghost concert, some dude got it. I don't know. They had a ton of shows this last week. There was actual, I think like Morta Farum was down in Mexico City for a big festival or something like that. I saw stuff posted online. So what do you want to bet? Sorry. Do you think it's possible, John, that King Diamond faked his surgery? He canceled because of

00:57:12.319 --> 00:57:41.220
And I wonder if it was, if he's like, I'm not fucking going, this thing should be canceled. I wouldn't doubt it because he's not a young guy. It was kind of a weird message. You know, the way it just felt like the way you worded it, it was kind of, it was, it was nondescriptive. It was kind of like when you call in sick to work and you leave too many details. A certain area of my body hurts. Nobody was like, my doctor told me I should have this. I'm real sorry. I can't come. Cause I was thinking like, you know, with all due respect to Mexico and they're kind

00:57:41.260 --> 00:58:11.120
the loose laws done there. I was like, this motherfucker should be canceled. And I'm sure King Diamond was thinking the same thing. Yeah. So Bandcamp, in an effort to support artists that are suffering because of canceled tours and canceled shows and all of that, was it just a day or was it the weekend? Just one day. Just first Friday? I heard that they may extend it because the site kept going.

00:58:11.300 --> 00:58:41.220
It went down yesterday. That's what I was going to say. Yeah, it went down for me too. I bought more stuff today because it was yesterday, right? Yeah, Friday. Yeah, they should do it on a weekend when I have nothing but time to do. I'm not homeschooling kids and stuff. You had a whole day, Will. I tried to buy one album from a local band, Dirt Eater, here that I'm friends with here in the D.C. area. I couldn't buy anything because they kept saying the site went

00:58:41.280 --> 00:59:11.200
down, so it went down. And I'm like, well, fuck it. So then, but, you know, five o'clock this morning when I woke up, I'm like, I don't know if you guys pay attention, but I bought tons of stuff today. I saw Wilkes. I was up early too. So what I didn't get finished saying was that band camp is for that for yesterday and possibly longer now, all sales, a hundred percent of the money was going to the bands. They weren't taking their cut or anything. So everybody, everybody in the fucking world is whether they had new albums or not,

00:59:11.260 --> 00:59:40.960
We got this. We got that. We got pins, whatever. Come buy our shit because we're getting the full cut. And I bought like, I don't know, five albums, I think. But I don't have anything else to buy. I ran out. I think I got like six or seven albums. Yeah. Yeah, me too. I bought a bunch. It was a great promotional effort. Yeah. There was a ton of like EPs and splits that suddenly came out of nowhere.

00:59:41.040 --> 01:00:10.980
Like Blurring. Danny Lilker's band up in the Rochester area, New York. They put out a split. Left Cross, which is a really good death thrash band out of Richmond. They put out a four-songy. I just feel like everybody who had something somewhat in the cans, like, get it out today, get it out today. Yeah, and you know what's kind of, I thought it was a little messed up, but some of the places that are labels, like Transcending Obscurity,

01:00:11.060 --> 01:00:40.880
and redefining darkness and all those that are the labels that are on there. The labels are getting 100% of it, not necessarily the bands. Yeah, I noticed. And I was like, man, they better be passing that on. Otherwise, that's not cool. Right. I noticed one. I don't remember what label it was, but I know exactly what you're talking about. There's a label that said something about like all the money comes to us. I was like, yeah, you guys, you guys really need a marketing person because this is fucking terrible. Wow.

01:00:41.040 --> 01:01:10.440
I've seen a lot of message from bands saying that they had their best day ever for sales. So I think it really worked for some of these bands and that was really heartening to see. I actually really like that there's a big push for arts ever since this pandemic hit. You know, there's a lot of free stuff online like we've been talking about, like free concerts, you know, free zoo, like penguins at the zoo, you know. NASA released like all these crazy images that they've taken and videos and stuff.

01:01:11.040 --> 01:01:40.640
I really like that part of it. You know, when you're in a crisis like that, I think having art, having things that make you feel good or that you enjoy is important. So it's too bad that the government cuts a lot of that funding. That's like the first stuff to go. But it's also the first thing you think of when you're in this kind of panic mode and the world's kind of going to hell. Yeah. I have an impromptu news story that I forget.

01:01:41.020 --> 01:02:10.200
I forgot to ask you to add George take two seconds but it's just that for those of you who care about games at all doom eternal it came out it's fucking awesome but I also reminded you it's got a kick-ass metal soundtrack that includes Ray from Immortal Bird remember she talked to us about that during the interview yeah there's some other notables on there too you know it's funny you mentioned that Jay because I saw that on the chat and you're like yeah I'm totally immersed in this doom eternal I'm like oh that sounds like a cool band I would love and I looked it up

01:02:13.120 --> 01:02:40.140
I was like, what the fuck? It's a metal game and it's got such a metal soundtrack. So anyway, just throwing that out there. And a little shout out to Ray for her hard work on it. I can't pick her out in any way, shape or form. I heard one single vocal and I think she did sing on it, but maybe she played drums. I can't remember. Yeah. On her new EP, she's doing some sung vocals because there's a track out now that mixes sung vocals.

01:02:40.200 --> 01:02:42.120
and death metal vocals.

01:02:42.720 --> 01:02:48.160
You're listening to the Metalheads Podcast, the morning show you can listen to anytime.

01:02:49.040 --> 01:02:52.460
So before we get into our top five here, what's everybody drinking?

01:02:56.020 --> 01:02:56.960
Well, I guess I'll start.

01:02:57.060 --> 01:03:00.180
I'm drinking a Brimminghorn Thunder Oak.

01:03:01.320 --> 01:03:04.900
It's a honey wine, age six months, and oak barrels.

01:03:05.240 --> 01:03:06.640
It's a pretty sweet bottle.

01:03:07.700 --> 01:03:35.060
The thing with Brimminghorn though, man, they print everything super small. I can barely read anything on these bottles. I'm going to have to talk to JR about that. I have been talking to him. I was trying to set up an interview that we could do at Decimal of, of course, that shot. I ended up ordering these bottles of meat because this isn't part of the club. They just put it out and it looked delicious. I ordered that. He actually sent me a free Brimminghorn shirt too. I've been talking about metal.

01:03:35.120 --> 01:03:39.040
I was just going to say that he posted a really grateful message on his

01:03:40.120 --> 01:03:44.940
on their Facebook page just saying hey people have been really generous in this time and made sure to order

01:03:45.060 --> 01:04:05.100
stuff and even put money in their virtual tip jar and stuff so some people are you know being well taken care of here and that's great that people are doing that if the world ever starts spinning again I'd still really like to get like Will and John and go out to go out to the metery there and record there with them I'm down

01:04:05.620 --> 01:04:34.760
He'd love to do it. He said that they're free most Saturdays. That's their best day. That works for people that have jobs. Has any of you guys been there? I've been there. You have been there? Because it looks pretty neat from the pictures. It's small, but it's very cool. They remind me of two things. One, one of the reasons why I was really looking forward to Deskable this year more than every other year is that I'm not pouring beer this year for Atlas. Atlas gets invited every other year.

01:04:35.120 --> 01:05:04.220
Yeah. We're not one of the brewers that gets invited every single time. But the fact that we're invited at all, I'm ecstatic about. But yeah, so I don't have to pull double duty, which is where I'm doing the podcast and pouring beer. Because if I'm invited to pour beer, that's my primary focus. So yeah. And there was something else I thought of and I can't remember now. All right, then. So Matt, what are you drinking?

01:05:05.120 --> 01:05:34.180
I had a KBS. Ooh. Nice. My last one. Classic. Ever. They're going to go under. Great. For other reasons. Yeah. Yes. Founders Brewery we're talking about. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So I'm drinking, or I drank, I finished Firestone Walker's Firestone 23 Anniversary Ale, which I don't know if you guys are Firestone Walker fans, I am.

01:05:35.120 --> 01:06:04.760
It's a final blend of Sticky Monkey, Parabola, Bravo, Bourbon Barrel, Heldado, Velvet Merkin, and Tequila Barrel. Holy shit. That sounds awesome, John. I have Velvet Merkin and Parabola in the fridge right now. It was pretty well balanced considering all that in there. Somebody's got a good blender in the house. Like blender as in like one of the people working at Firestone Walker,

01:06:05.120 --> 01:06:32.340
who knows how to blend beer. Yeah, I will say this. Firestone Walker is one of my favorite breweries, but when it comes to their barrel aging, they seem to always get it right for the most part. So there's a few that are a little too much for me, but. I buy their stuff a lot, actually. It's kind of expensive sometimes, you know, I mean, but I pick something up every couple of weeks. So, Jay, you getting Parabola out there, for us, it's like coronavirus. We'd be fighting each other in the streets for canned goods.

01:06:34.340 --> 01:07:04.120
Oh yeah, it's everywhere. Out there. It's like, Hey, I just went the same way. And there's like 14 cases of it. Yeah. It's funny. It's like a commodity. I didn't realize that. Yeah. We get a lot of California beers here too. So I get tons of velvet, American, Parabola, the Firestone Walker, but a lot of California breweries that I didn't get when I was in Chicago. Yeah. The one I wish we could get more often would be Sucapa, but that's a little bit harder to get now. So this is another one I'm drinking now called evil three.

01:07:04.360 --> 01:07:34.060
from Heretic. And I never even heard of this thing before. Heretic is awesome. I love that. And I've had that beer. Yeah. 11.5%. Nice. Nice. So well. So I'm my my refrigerator is blinking nonstop low beer warning light low beer warning light because my wife has been going to the store to buy groceries. And one thing my wife does not buy at the store is beer. But we have a lot of wine.

01:07:34.220 --> 01:07:36.040
the house. So I, um,

01:07:36.780 --> 01:07:38.180
wait, well, don't you get Atlas beer?

01:07:40.320 --> 01:07:43.720
Yeah, but I'm not going to, but the breweries kind of like shut down right now.

01:07:43.840 --> 01:07:50.340
And they're only doing takeout delivery. And, uh, the, it, it's not easy to get to.

01:07:50.820 --> 01:07:54.220
That was traffic. Traffic is probably pretty light right now, but, um,

01:07:54.960 --> 01:08:01.660
still a pain in the ass. Well, yeah, it's still a pain in the ass. Um, so yeah, so no,

01:08:01.780 --> 01:08:31.279
I don't have any Atlas beer in the house. I had a six pack of flying dog. The truth or double IPA, which is kind of like my go to your beer. Now it's just like this perfectly balanced, non fucking hazy IPA. I adore at this point. So my point being is that for before this, I had a had a glass of Casio de Diablo, a Chilean red wine that I like. And then I did find upstairs.

01:08:31.779 --> 01:09:01.480
I basically have three beers left in my house right now. Literally three beers. I have a leftover from the Adroit Anniversary show. I got the, it's some generic label, but it's an Adroit Theory bourbon barrel aged imperial stout. I don't even know what it's called because there's no, there's nothing on the label that's specific about to that beer. I do have a black metal left. Wow. Cool.

01:09:02.380 --> 01:09:31.700
And I have the snake bite that Looch sent me that I forgot to take the decibel last year. I was going to take the decibel this year. So anyway. I meant to reach out to Looch because they have the new, what's that Sam Adams thing? Utopia. Yeah, there's one, there's a, it's got the latest one and I thought maybe he might want it, but I don't, maybe it's not hard to find when it's a new one. But since we're all doing it and mine's not, mine are,

01:09:31.779 --> 01:10:01.740
I'm actually chilling in the fridge right now but mine is the this is always my go-to when I don't feel like shopping which is the 21st Amendment which is a local one here in San Francisco this is one of my favorite IPAs I've always always got this in the house so that'll be opened in a little while that's called brew free or die hey George before you mention your beer I just want to jump on something Will said hey Will I had the ultimate non-hazy beer twice in the last two weeks twice the last how'd that happen

01:10:01.760 --> 01:10:31.200
I had a friend who was out there. I got to try twice Pliny the Younger. So did he go stand in line at the place? He did. He did. And let me tell you, holy shit, it is awesome. And I could see through my beer completely and I could see actual definition for the person I was standing next to. It wasn't just cloudy. It was amazing. That's really clear, yeah. You know, it's funny. I keep telling myself I'll just run into it when I run into it and I'm going to have to be a little more.

01:10:33.000 --> 01:11:01.080
But when they said they were going to bottle it this year, I did ask the normal places they go. And I go to a couple of funky but well-traveled places. And they were like, nah, they're not going to give us any, dude. So I didn't, you know, I should have done like a pretty good thing. He stood in line for five hours just to get in. Oh, was it that long, really? What was the limit? Did they sell them two? He has a friend who has, I guess, a bar or a pub or a restaurant somewhere out in the valley, you know, going on the way to Yosemite.

01:11:01.340 --> 01:11:30.860
So I don't know if he got from there and also from Russian River, but he ended up coming home with like two or three bottles of it. Oh, that's nice. And then he had, I assume he also sat and drank some while he was there or something, right? He had whatever they allowed him to drink at Russian River then, but at his friend's place out in, you know, out near Yosemite, he had it like two full pours. So. Good for him, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Yosemite is closed, by the way. Yeah, I know.

01:11:31.340 --> 01:12:01.260
He works in the National Park Service. Oh, does he? Yeah. A lot of California parks are still open, but those ones where they pack them in like that, like in the woods, John, the Muir Woods, those are closed. Right now there's like three dudes that are walking around out there saying, we've got this whole place to ourselves. Nobody came looking for us. Nobody kicked us out. All right. George, what are you drinking? That's right. Nothing special.

01:12:01.360 --> 01:12:09.820
I already mentioned it earlier I think the flying dog doggy style LL well you can call it the isolation

01:12:10.040 --> 01:12:29.340
if you want so we won't hold it against you feel like you got something special who kept the dogs in exactly all right so let's we are going to do a top five even though nothing else is pretty much the same as usual Markisan why don't you tell us about this

01:12:31.060 --> 01:12:59.020
Okay, so obviously we've been talking a lot about the coronavirus pandemic on this cast. So our top five is based on that ongoing experience. So right now most cities have directed us to self-quarantine to try to prevent the spread of COVID-19. But CDC has the legal authority to detain any person who may have an infectious disease and hold them at a quarantine station. So if that happened to us, we would not be able to take many possessions with us.

01:12:59.140 --> 01:13:28.660
So our top five today is the top five metal albums we would want in government quarantine. So as they're picking you up, you're saying you guys got a turntable in there, right? Yeah, now what? Hey, Jake, if not, I brought mine. I can get it. Just start the van. I can just grab my speakers. In this day and age, even if it was just your phone, you've got like hundreds of albums on there, you know.

01:13:28.700 --> 01:13:58.380
So it's kind of hard to, I mean, Desert Island, yeah, okay, but anyway, regardless. Some extreme quarantine situation in which. They are like, we will give you five albums. Pretend we're like in 1980, you know. Exactly. You got to go back in time, and we might be living, we might be getting Stone Age here before too long. This is 1918. Right. 1918. Hey, apparently every hundred years, right? Yeah, exactly. All right, well, Markisan, you go first. Okay, so,

01:13:58.500 --> 01:14:28.480
My number five is Five Finger Death Punch. Which one? My number five is Incantation Upon the Throne of Apocalypse. Nice. I love Incantation, my favorite death metal band. This is the reissued original version of Mortal Throne of the Nazarene. So it was a tough choice between this and onward toward Golgotha, but I've been

01:14:28.520 --> 01:14:30.700
I've been listening to this one a lot so I would like to have it

01:14:31.300 --> 01:14:32.240
if I was isolated

01:14:33.500 --> 01:14:34.200
makes sense

01:14:35.620 --> 01:14:36.020
Matt

01:14:37.240 --> 01:14:39.080
this is probably true for a lot of us but

01:14:40.120 --> 01:14:44.440
and just FYI with all this going on I haven't talked about it much but I'm like extra bitchy

01:14:44.900 --> 01:14:46.620
and so my list is

01:14:47.300 --> 01:14:48.040
clearly bands

01:14:48.480 --> 01:14:51.320
five bands that have a catalog that I would like to bring the whole thing with

01:14:51.840 --> 01:14:53.280
but if I had to choose today

01:14:53.880 --> 01:14:54.940
this is what I would bring with me

01:14:55.960 --> 01:14:57.720
my number five is Black Sabbath

01:14:57.740 --> 01:15:25.500
Masters of Reality. Nice. Probably going to hear a few things like that. That would probably be my Sabbath choice, too. Hmm. Right on. It's the heaviest one, I think. It's the heaviest one from the Aussie era. And like I was saying, if you put that on repeat, you go from Into the Void, it just circles right back around to Sweet Leaf. And you're like, ah, fuck. And you're like, exactly. Exactly. Well, I'm going to buy the coffin there.

01:15:27.720 --> 01:15:57.680
Everybody's slowly moving away from your calls. Hey, Matt, just a hint. You may not want to use that album because they'll probably confiscate it right away from you. You're scaring everybody. That big-nosed dude in Cell 5 is coughing. Get out of here. Is Matt the big-nosed dude guy? That can't be right. You know what? A group of people where somebody referred to somebody else as the big-nosed guy. The next time we're together, we're going to measure. Do you want to go side to side? And then you can do noses after that.

01:16:00.440 --> 01:16:27.700
It's Metalhead's Beak Battle. Featuring Bitchy Matt versus Jay. Marcus, you're doing a really good Tom Servo right now. Oh yeah, awesome. I could go for some Mystery Science Theater 3000 right now. I think we're all going to be getting to it. John. So my top five is the same for Desert Island Discs. Same if I got a Duck the

01:16:27.740 --> 01:16:56.780
By Aliens, any disaster, it's the same. So my number five, Fate's Warning, Perfect Symmetry. One of my favorite bands and definitely one of my favorite prog metal albums. But it's also still got that 80s metal sound. I love it when somebody like John has to kind of double down on one specific title, because I never would have guessed which Fate's Warning you would choose if you were going to bring one. So nice to know. Yeah. I still like that album. Perfect Symmetry.

01:16:58.140 --> 01:17:27.700
I think with like the last two I really kind of dug so there was also shades of gray or whatever is it is that it perfect is it right yeah positive shade of gray which was that's was right around that time too yeah 97 I think so right well so the way I did mine was um I did more like desert island if I had to pick five albums to bring with me for the rest of my life and listen to them in government quarantine this is what I picked and I was just looking at my I was just looking at my

01:17:27.740 --> 01:17:57.020
I have my choices, my top five, and I weirdly think I have something from the last five decades. Like, literally. Interesting. Cool. I did not, I absolutely did not plan that. In fact, I put my, I realized I only had four listed because I ran out of time today doing other stuff. And I was like, oh, I better put another one on here. And I threw it on there. I'm like, oh, that one is in the 90s. That works out well. So my number five is chemist desolation.

01:17:57.460 --> 01:18:25.420
And one of the reasons for that is right now it is my daughter's absolute favorite album. She loves this album as I do. It was my number one album two years ago when it came out. So a little bit of a, you know, it fills that sweet spot of heavy, just traditional heavy metal, doom metal. And I just absolutely love that album. And it's a daddy-daughter bonding experience. It is. It is. It was funny.

01:18:30.340 --> 01:18:34.060
We'll get to this a little bit later, I'm sure. But when Chemist released their

01:18:34.500 --> 01:18:53.720
Doomed Heavy Metal, well, we got the promo for the Doomed Heavy Metal. And then they did the cover of Rainbow in the Dark, which is one of my kids, you know, Dio. My kids fucking love Dio. And so when you had Chemist covering Dio, and I put on the YouTube video, and I looked over, I didn't, like, it was late. It was like right before bedtime.

01:18:54.840 --> 01:19:24.780
And I looked over and my daughter, both my kids have chemist t-shirts that I just bought like super extra small women's sizes when we saw them at the Songbird. John and I saw them at the Songbird. And you were there, right, John? Yeah, I was there. Yes. All right. Just make sure. I had a ticket. Yeah, because then we went to Smoke and Barrel afterwards for like an hour. Yeah, I checked out early. I couldn't take it anymore. I was so tired. But anyway, I look over. My daughter's wearing her chemist.

01:19:25.200 --> 01:19:54.480
T-shirt while we're watching Chemists on YouTube. Anyway, so I took a picture of her in front of the TV doing the YouTube thing, and I sent it to Phil. I texted Phil, the lead singer, Phil Pendergrass, and Chemists, and he just thought it was the coolest thing ever. Anyway. It pretty much is. Not as cool as him being at a baseball game and they're playing his walk-out. Not as cool as that. When he told me that story, I was like, that is the coolest thing ever. Yeah, he had to be flipping out, dude. Yeah. All right.

01:19:56.700 --> 01:20:02.420
I forget the guy's name, but there's a new guy on the Nationals who's a metalhead.

01:20:03.160 --> 01:20:06.220
Nice. Too bad baseball's never going to happen again.

01:20:06.220 --> 01:20:11.200
It's a new guy. We've got pick, free agency draft, I don't know, whatever it is.

01:20:11.980 --> 01:20:13.700
Has any of you guys watched the show Brockmire?

01:20:14.800 --> 01:20:14.860
Nope.

01:20:15.640 --> 01:20:17.020
I can't recommend this highly enough.

01:20:17.290 --> 01:20:23.179
Hank Azaria plays this baseball announcer who falls on hard times and becomes a big booze hound and everything

01:20:23.180 --> 01:20:53.160
and ends up announcing for like some minor league team. There's four seasons and the latest season is 10 years in the future. It's 2030. And in it, the world has gone to shit. And he's now the commissioner of baseball and Bryce Harper like is playing cricket. Nobody watches baseball anymore. So like all these baseball players are going to play cricket. You got to see the show. It's a great show, dude. I was. So one of my last times actually being in Starbucket,

01:20:53.620 --> 01:21:22.960
Not the one from two days ago, but the time before that, I was in there after is my also my last trip to the gym. Wait, hold on, George. You do realize every time you send this podcast. Oh, the last time I was in Starbucks, you lose total medical credibility. But every time you mentioned like, oh, I was in Starbucks again, get my get my grande latte with foam on top. No, man, my coffee is black, bitch. It's not like he was in Victoria's Secret. Jesus, lay off. Well,

01:21:24.060 --> 01:21:52.500
And I was wearing my chemist hoodie. And after I placed my order, there was a dude down at the end waiting for his drink. And he was obviously, well, he was a long haired, scruffy looking dude. But he was checking out my hoodie and he was just, he was staring pretty hard. It was one of those like, oh, I should go talk to this guy moments. But, but I was like, nah, man, fuck him. Are you sure he was staring at your hoodie? I don't know, man. I just got up out of the gym. I was probably packing some package. Which hoodie was he staring at?

01:21:53.680 --> 01:22:22.900
There's no hood on that one. You sure you didn't have restless leg syndrome in the store? You know, you know, Georgia circumcised will. That's right. That's right. Right, right, right, right. The hood doesn't get caught in my teeth. That's right. He's been under the scalp and bland. We took care of that at decibel last year. Surgical steal. Speak of surgeons at decibel. Jay, what am I going to do when James, like,

01:22:22.960 --> 01:22:52.240
Knocks me out, cuts me open, and who's going to cut the excess skin off my body? I was going to bring an extra knife this year, and I just really feel like a very important part of our bonding has been put on hold. The social distancing is not working for me. I was going to bring duct tape, actually. No, what's that one, Will? Do you use it to bury Gorilla Tape or whatever that stuff is? Gorilla Tape is the best. You put it on, and literally you have to go for surgery to get it off?

01:22:52.940 --> 01:23:22.920
The other one, Flex Seal Tape, that stuff's monstrous. Grill Tape's great though because it's black, so it's perfect for me. Yeah. All right, I'm going to steer us back into my number five here. And I kind of tried to hit all my favorite little genre things or sub-genre. No, that's not true. But I tried to hit a wide range of stuff. And so my first one, and I also purposely picked some really long albums, and that'll explain itself as we go on. But the first one, of all things, and I'm not one of these guys who gets best ofs, but there's this record, this Motorhead record called The Best of

01:23:22.940 --> 01:23:52.920
I think was just put together for iTunes that has got like 32 songs on it and it's like the 32 best Motorhead songs. Nice. And I love Motorhead. I'm not one of these guys that's just like let me. I fucking love Motorhead. I think they're a great group. And so to get your little kind of punk fast rock and roll slash metal thing going I want something like that with me and it'd have to be them. And so believe it or not very boring title the best of Motorhead but I can't recommend this one best of enough. And I've got all the records I don't need the best of but it's it's somebody curated the shit out of this thing. Somebody who

01:23:52.920 --> 01:24:21.640
New, Understood, and Loved Motorhead. So every once in a while I put it on. It would be a fine companion in a place like that. And you get 32 songs out of it. So it's basically everything up through Sacrifice, the prime cuts from everything, from album number one through Sacrifice. I never even thought of doing it that way, but that's a very good way to do it, Jay. Economy's a scale, right? My number four is the same, so we'll get to that one. My number four is similarly long and full of stuff.

01:24:22.940 --> 01:24:52.880
Band No. 5 is a band that's no longer with us because their singer is no longer with us. So this is a post-career compilation. And it's 152 songs. But because it's Grindcore, it's only an hour long. And the title is fitting as well. This is Nazem's Grind Phenomenal.

01:24:55.080 --> 01:24:55.880
And yeah,

01:24:56.940 --> 01:24:59.700
I gotta have me some grind and you know,

01:25:00.080 --> 01:25:00.320
it's like,

01:25:00.460 --> 01:25:00.520
Oh,

01:25:00.520 --> 01:25:02.700
well maybe I would like some full of hell or some nails on here.

01:25:02.820 --> 01:25:02.880
Yeah.

01:25:03.120 --> 01:25:06.600
But then I'm blowing one of my first five albums on a 15 minute album.

01:25:06.800 --> 01:25:09.080
So this gives me a full hour of grind.

01:25:09.820 --> 01:25:10.200
I'm happy.

01:25:11.580 --> 01:25:14.600
Speaking of which a full of hell was one of the other bands that just

01:25:14.860 --> 01:25:16.700
released like a two song EP.

01:25:16.960 --> 01:25:17.480
I saw that.

01:25:17.660 --> 01:25:22.100
And one of the effects is coronavirus is I'm not going to get a haircut.

01:25:23.360 --> 01:25:52.480
I know my hair looks ridiculously short to the rest of you, but right now, like, it is super long for me. This is probably the longest my hair has been in 27 years, and it's driving me nuts. You're a fucking hippie. I know. I've been wearing my full of hell hat everywhere I fucking go the last, like, week. You and I fly a similar flag they will, and I should have gotten one a couple weeks ago, so it's just I'm going to be in hell in about three weeks, dude. We got Clippers. Barb does mine, so.

01:25:53.520 --> 01:26:22.600
One of the other things I did is I bought some wall, W-H-A-L clippers. Shave it off. Yeah. My son and I are going to have the same haircut. Number four, all the way around. Number one. Back to the military, Will. You guys got to remember the Flobie, do you? Yes. Wait, wait, wait. I don't know what this is. What is the Flobie? It was this haircut device that they used to do.

01:26:22.700 --> 01:26:52.640
It was like a vacuum slash clipper, so it would suck the thing out, and it would cut it, but it would be all one exact length. It was like the ultimate bowl cut. It was terrible. All right. Back to Markisan for number four. Number four. Well, I had to have this band on my list, and that's Iron Maiden. I didn't go with the greatest hits. I went with Brave New World, because

01:26:52.680 --> 01:27:21.820
Every single track on there I can sing and I enjoy singing and it's my favorite Iron Maiden now. Would you please sing as your favorite song off that right now? Oh, I'm too drunk right now, George. No, that's the best time. The best time to do it. The best gang singing song? Come on, give us some Ghost of the Navigator. Come on. Yeah, I knew you were going to say that, George, but yeah, that's a good choice. But I also, I would throw a thin line between Love and Hate is so good on there, dude. That's the wrap up song on that.

01:27:24.160 --> 01:27:51.840
They're all good. They're just really highly suitable. Everything I want of them. I would want that. It makes me happy to be able to sing something. You know what's a great song on there? Because it's one you don't mention is that Fallen Angel song. God, that's a good song. Could it be? God, that's such a good fucking song. When Big Mama's Fallen Angel. No, you're not talking poison. Okay, never mind. Talk to me. Could it be?

01:27:52.360 --> 01:28:21.500
One Plus of this is that that stadium tour is eventually going to get canceled. I'm sure that one will be fine. I'm bumming because I got Stones tickets that are going to get canceled. Guns N' Roses tickets that are going to get canceled. I have Guns N' Roses too. It's funny you mentioned the Ghost of the Navigator because when I was brewing at Fairwinds, Charlie and I were the brewers.

01:28:22.340 --> 01:28:52.000
And we were both big Iron Maiden and old school Metallica and Slayer fans. So that's the brewery that we have, the Sessions in the Abyss beer. And so we came up with the Ghost of the Mariner beer. Because we wanted to have the Rime of the Ancient Mariner or the Ghost of the Navigator beer. We wanted to have two separate beers. And the owner is like, no, no, no, no, just make one beer. So we made the Ghost of the Mariner. I think I remember you telling. I think I remember the story.

01:28:52.500 --> 01:29:22.000
I'm sure at some point I told the story. But anyway, so anyway. It could be Iron Maiden. It could be Waterworld. He was called the Mariner. You remember that movie? Yeah. It was actually on TV recently and I caught some of it. It's actually something that Universal Studios said you go. Wait, what? I was just at Universal. The one in California, it's like this big, like, it's almost like a stunt special where they have explosives.

01:29:22.040 --> 01:29:51.660
of some shit, but it's like a scene from Waterworld. Oh, no shit. A movie that's, by the way, a little better than people can. They're like trying to recoup it by getting... They're still... I like that. The movie was so bad, they're still losing money off of it. They only have like 10 million left to pay off. Is that... Do they have something for Ishtar as well? Ishtar's a funnier movie than people are willing to let out. Number four, man. Number four, probably the most recent album on my list,

01:29:52.060 --> 01:30:21.420
I talk about frequently. And I found myself going back to this album and seeing if it actually still sticks with me. Most recently when there's been an announcement, a more specific announcement about their upcoming album. My number four is Carcass Surgical Steel. Carcass? Carcass. I had a feeling that one would be on Matt's list. Yeah, I'm glad that new record's in the can too. Now it's these releases that are going to be the bright spots in our universe. Yeah.

01:30:22.040 --> 01:30:50.900
Yeah, unfortunately, the bands can't tour to support them and put out merch to this, but hopefully there'll be a lot of stuff available online. Yeah, like maybe some special edition type stuff and stuff like that. Drum up some business. John. So sort of following Marcasson's lead, I felt I had to have a classic band on my list also, but it's not Iron Maiden. Jay will appreciate this. Will and George.

01:30:51.560 --> 01:31:18.820
George and Will will scoff, but that's okay because we all like different things. My number four is Judas Priest, Stain Class. I'm not scoffing at that. Is that how you scoff? I'm not even sure how you scoff. Well, then you'd be fine, but that was pretty good. I'm down on that.

01:31:20.680 --> 01:31:50.640
I think you gotta have one of those bands right because if you have one of those albums you could sing the rest of their catalog because you know it so yeah you'll remember it but you gotta have I agree I agree gotta have one classic metal all right well oh sorry um let me look at my list here pretty sure I know what it is one double check yep so this goes back to the 90 I think it's the 1990s if not maybe late

01:31:50.660 --> 01:32:20.640
I'm pretty sure it's 1990s um death leprosy nice uh 92 absolutely one of my favorite albums of all time also an ironic quarantine choice I might have didn't even register classic quarantine yeah um well that's what happens when you don't quarantine on that album cover that's right yeah this is just what I love about death and especially leprosy

01:32:20.700 --> 01:32:48.020
because I think Leprosy was the album that you can literally, you can hear all, you can like hear every syllable. Sorry, syllable. Syllable. Here's the title on the title. Syllable. I put the emphasis on the wrong syllable. The wrong syllable. No, but, no, but, like, it was awesome. Yeah.

01:32:54.320 --> 01:33:20.200
I'm thinking death leprosy. That's the first thing I thought of. Death leprosy. Because death leprosy is one of those albums to me. So many. There's riffs. There's choruses. You can understand most of what. Almost like 80% of what he's saying. I'm like this is going to be the greatest fucking thing ever. And a creeper did not turn out like that. But death leprosy. That's the album. Love it.

01:33:20.660 --> 01:33:50.640
One of my favorite death metal albums ever, hands down. So mine is a nod to both, not a nod to, but in both in Markisan's thinking and John's thinking. So thinking from Markisan, I chose an Iron Maiden record because I figured I needed one. And I mentioned John A because he went classic metal, but I also happen to know he's the other guy in this podcast that really likes this particular release. And it is an unconventional choice, but it's a double live album called

01:33:51.900 --> 01:33:53.420
Beast over Hammersmith.

01:33:53.670 --> 01:33:53.800
Yeah.

01:33:54.230 --> 01:33:55.600
I mean, it's Bruce's.

01:33:56.320 --> 01:33:57.200
It came out.

01:33:57.210 --> 01:34:02.120
It was a show that they did the week before Number of the Beast came out.

01:34:02.460 --> 01:34:04.620
And Bruce sounds like he sounds on that record.

01:34:04.860 --> 01:34:08.180
They do most of that album, does all the old Paul stuff.

01:34:08.680 --> 01:34:10.260
It's the perfect bridge between new and old.

01:34:10.310 --> 01:34:11.460
And it sounds amazing.

01:34:11.770 --> 01:34:12.380
Such a good record.

01:34:13.440 --> 01:34:15.380
I still think it's their best live album, personally.

01:34:16.100 --> 01:34:16.660
Without a doubt.

01:34:16.700 --> 01:34:46.400
I actually put, not long ago, I put Alive After Death on again to ask myself if I was kidding myself, and I wasn't. Bruce does not sing as well as he does on this. And it's an economies of scale thing, just as you said, well, there's a lot of songs on this because it's a live album, but they're flawless. And I've got to have some maiden thing with me or a priest thing, so I went with this. Yeah, it's a great choice. I love that album. I still want it to come out on vinyl. I'm hopeful. Eventually, it definitely will.

01:34:46.480 --> 01:35:16.220
Any hard copy would be fine. Well, it was only available. I only have it because I bought I actually bought the CD box set that it was part of. Yeah, just for that. That was the only really thing I cared about. And I bought it just to have that. And I never regretted that purchase because it's such a final. My number four is just a little tweak of Will's nipples. I feel like I've had this on a fucking black album. I'm going to punch my computer. I will block you on.

01:35:16.960 --> 01:35:18.960
I will block you on my phone. I will block your

01:35:19.090 --> 01:35:21.440
email. I will I will I'll block your balls.

01:35:21.850 --> 01:35:22.660
This is not a purple.

01:35:23.430 --> 01:35:24.080
This is not a purple.

01:35:24.200 --> 01:35:25.860
This is a loving caress.

01:35:26.620 --> 01:35:27.440
Oh, OK.

01:35:27.510 --> 01:35:28.520
Well, then proceed.

01:35:29.620 --> 01:35:30.800
Cannibal corpse kill.

01:35:33.670 --> 01:35:35.240
I was like, I got my grind.

01:35:35.340 --> 01:35:36.520
I need a death metal album.

01:35:36.680 --> 01:35:38.300
And that that's what it's going to be.

01:35:38.520 --> 01:35:40.600
So, yeah, you know, now that

01:35:41.040 --> 01:35:43.220
well, spoiler alert, that's not on my list.

01:35:43.320 --> 01:35:45.180
But now that you say that it should be on my list.

01:35:46.660 --> 01:36:14.680
That is my favorite. That one did come up when we were talking about albums you would want to work out to. Yeah. Yeah. That was last time. That was my number. George and I both had it as like number one or two or something like that. Something like that, yeah. I do have a funny story. So I have this really nice, super polite Canadian woman. Ironically, I said this on the last podcast. It's not oxymoron. I don't know. Double. I don't know.

01:36:15.780 --> 01:36:44.760
When two things mean the same thing, you don't need to say it twice. It's redundant. Redundant, yeah. So it's redundant to say that I have a polite, really nice Canadian woman who lives next to me. And every now and again, my kids and I have to go feed her cat because she's out of town or something like that. And she has one of those Alexas but has a screen on it. And so every now and again, when I have to go do something for my neighbors that are out of town and they have Alexas, I'm like, Alexa, play

01:36:44.780 --> 01:37:14.500
Play Cannibal Corpse. Nice. And what was so, by one neighbor's house, they don't have the screen. It's just like that little tube, like a soda can looking thing that's Alexa. And so you don't really see it. And then, you know, it's just like playing Cannibal Corpse, shuffling songs by Cannibal Corpse, you know, and then Alexa just goes and does her thing. But when it's on the screen and it's like visibly written out,

01:37:14.580 --> 01:37:44.520
Addicted to Vaginal Skin and show the album cover at my super nice, polite Canadian woman's house next to me. I'm like, oh my God, she's going to think. Alexa, erase. Alexa, erase. So weirdly enough, then I go like, Alexa, play Adele. You know, it's like, if I bring it further back, like maybe, I don't know how it works, but like maybe she won't see it. But one of these days, she is going to say to you, we're going out of town and you're going to say, do you need to feed the cat?

01:37:44.600 --> 01:38:14.560
No, no, no, no, we got somebody to do it. Don't worry about it. By the way, you have interesting taste in music. This could be really cool about it. I like my vaginal skin intact, so I have a cat sitter now. Thank you. Your vaginal skin's not intact. Jay, cut it off. That's right. It's the circumcision thing. The hooded menace. I like Adele. I don't listen to a lot of that music, but I watched Skyfall last night with a wife, and she does the

01:38:14.580 --> 01:38:44.540
The Thief-on-the-thon. It's really good. She's amazing. Skyfall cannot, I cannot, when I watched that movie, I could not follow it. Like, what the fuck is happening in that movie? I do not understand anything that's happening. Well, so first off, forget what he just said. I saw your posting about that, and I just have to tell you, I love the Daniel Craig 007s, too. They're so good. The Cedar Royale was amazing. It's so good. And the new one, I'm so depressed, has got to move back so far. I'm hoping they'll do it. One of these things where you can, they won't. But have you guys got, like,

01:38:44.600 --> 01:39:14.540
On Demand is doing like $20. I think they'll wait until it's in theater. So that's a big movie. We're going to mention this. I want to say that. The 25th Bond film. So I think they'll wait until they can put it in a theater. I fucking love him as James Bond, man. No, I do. Daniel Craig, I think I can speak for George. He's super dreamy and he's got a super nice ass. Yep. And could I characterize that correctly for you, George? Yeah, that's perfect. Mandy's a really sexy stormtrooper.

01:39:18.500 --> 01:39:44.520
I thought Casino Royale was amazing. Quantum of Solace made no sense to me. And then Skyfall made even less sense to me. There's one more too. What was the other one? That's it. What is it? Spectre. Oh, Spectre. That was fucking awesome. I started rewatching them again. I don't know if I saw that one. Oh, so good, dude. I like all of them. He's my favorite Bond. And I mean, I've watched.

01:39:44.580 --> 01:40:13.460
all the Bond films. I like he's a more realistic Bond. Less guy to dream more. And the story continues from movie to movie. It's not like the Bonds of the Past where it's one and done. But he's a little more brutal too. He's a little more brutal. He's an assassin. Yeah. Casino Royale is my favorite of the bunch but I like all of them. God that scene when he gets poisoned he has to go out to the car. It's one of my favorite scenes in the last however many years of movies.

01:40:14.600 --> 01:40:43.940
go out there and hook himself up to the machine and everything. That's so fucked up. I literally just watched Casino Royale again like last week. Oh, really? Yeah, I don't buy many movies on Blu-ray, but I have all those in the steelbook format because I just I like rewatching them. And my wife, we were like, what should we binge? She's like, oh, let's watch James Bond. Cool. Let's do it. Because I was looking forward to a new movie. Funny, funny you say that, Markisan time. Almost everything that we talked about tonight into one thing is that.

01:40:44.600 --> 01:41:12.840
So today I had to go and have to but I went out and bought a new TV and a soundbar. So I got like one of those LG Lucky Gold Star, OLG TVs, this super special soundbar. I had to re-hook everything up like, you know, the, you know, the Netflix and the Amazon Fire Stick thing and a DirecTV. And then the one thing that was left over, I'm like, I don't really need this anymore is the Blu-ray player.

01:41:13.680 --> 01:41:43.020
They're almost obsolete at this point. I didn't even hook it up. I was like, but I did feel good that I went out and spent two grand at a local Best Buy, but it's still... Did you get 4K? He was asking you. Did you get 4K, Will, or what is it? Yeah, it's OLED TV. OLED TV. It's like the super 4K, absolute black.

01:41:43.700 --> 01:42:13.220
It's not LED. It's like some different technology. So I buy a new TV every 20 years. So the TV I have now is 20 years old. It's perfectly fine. I just moved into the basement. Can I ask you this? Does this show nothing but the honeymooners? It does. It's even the viewer reruns. I mean, it's like weird. Why is this TV so fucking old? It's a hazard again? I know, my God. Daisy Duke. Oh, Catherine Bach. I'll see that again.

01:42:13.700 --> 01:42:43.640
What was next here? We were getting somewhere. I think we were back to Marcus. Matt, me. Oh, back to me. Okay. What are we on? Three? Okay. So I think I'm a little bit inspired because there's a package we're going to talk about a little bit later. And Matt did a top or did the Thunderdome. And so I needed to have some Tom G. Warrior on my list. And that was a hard decision, but I'm going with Trypticon Milana Cosmodo.

01:42:43.700 --> 01:43:12.920
which was my favorite album that came out a few years ago. Me too. And I love listening to that one. That almost made my list. Unfortunately, it did not. And it would have been my number three as well, but it did not. I'm sad that we have the same one, George. This is a really hard list. I feel like you could change any day. Yeah. And things are happening now.

01:43:16.000 --> 01:43:16.700
All right, Matt.

01:43:17.580 --> 01:43:21.500
Well, I look forward to talking about the package and other packages.

01:43:23.660 --> 01:43:24.020
Hey, Matt.

01:43:25.660 --> 01:43:25.860
Hey, old.

01:43:25.940 --> 01:43:29.880
I realized for an older album, I had to have some Maiden.

01:43:30.600 --> 01:43:36.380
And this is, you know, I wouldn't call it cliche, but it's Number of the Beast.

01:43:36.860 --> 01:43:37.840
That is my Maiden album.

01:43:39.260 --> 01:43:41.680
I could not live without it, even though I'll die in quarantine.

01:43:42.660 --> 01:44:12.020
There's nothing cliché about Number of the Beast. True that. Yeah, absolutely. I almost chose it, but I went with my other choice instead. Got more songs that way. So many smart albums. A fine choice. All right, then. John? So my number three, sticking with classic bands, but going further back to the first band, following Matt's lead, I had to have a Sabbath album. And what was my favorite one?

01:44:12.660 --> 01:44:40.880
That kicks off with, I still think, their best riff ever. It's also their darkest riff. And it's a song they stopped playing years ago, which I wish they wouldn't have, but I went with Sabbath Bloody Sabbath by Black Sabbath. It's by far, in my opinion, their best opener to any of their albums. I know a lot of people disagree with that, but I still think it's the best opening song on it. Love that song. Absolutely. I love every song on that album.

01:44:42.000 --> 01:45:11.880
And it's really their best overall package for production, album cover, everything. That is like where they stepped into the world of modern heavy metal. They were no longer this kind of 70s sludgy thing. It was this whole, I mean, it's still Sabbath, but it's a perfect record. I think there's only one Doom song on there. Yeah. According to the definition of Doom. I'm trying to decide which one you think it is. National Acrobat. Oh, God, that's a great fucking song.

01:45:12.020 --> 01:45:41.660
Yeah. The whole album is awesome. You know, I was like, they said on XM radio the other day, what Bill, I think it was Bill Ward. Maybe it was geezer. One of them said what the title National Acrobat was about. Did you hear that? No, no. I'm curious. Sperm. Okay. He's like, they're talking about how, you know, the sperm's got to go through all this shit to get to, it's got to be like a National Acrobat.

01:45:42.020 --> 01:46:11.640
to like dodge your tonsils and stuff. I don't know, but I was like, I did not see that one coming. I guess the part, but the national, I guess they're saying like a, like a world-class athlete. George, you saying sperm matter of factly is definitely a clip that we need to use on the show. Yeah, I think so. All right, then. Uh, well, um, uh,

01:46:12.000 --> 01:46:41.500
I did struggle a little bit. I do not have any Iron Maiden on my list and I struggle with this. But I did not struggle with this is the easy choice. Gojira from Mars is serious. I fucking love that album. Nice. It's got the heaviest matter of the universe on it. Like how can you not quarantine yourself with that album? That is one of the great songs of the. And it's just unbelievably heavy on top of being the heaviest matter in the universe. So heavy.

01:46:42.020 --> 01:47:09.400
You know, I remember when they came here for that album, they toured with Machine Head. And I didn't see that tour. But I remember reading an interview with Rob Flynn. And I was just getting into Gojira. And I remember him saying, like, he was literally like knocked out. He was like, they are so there's like the heaviest fucking thing ever. You know what I mean? Like, I remember him just being like, I watch him every night. And it's fucking like getting your face blown off. And that song is so heavy. And the whole record is heavy.

01:47:11.840 --> 01:47:40.160
That quote probably had more meaning if it came from somebody. Yeah, I know. You're right. Scotty Cash says. Yeah, man, totally. Like Adele just said, like, oh my God, I didn't get your face blown off. Hey, but when I say that, look at this cool picture of us and our acid-washed jeans and our white shirts on our new album cover. Fair enough, fair enough. Speaking of album covers, there is a space well on that cover.

01:47:40.220 --> 01:47:44.940
which always makes you feel good especially when you're isolated i've told the story of the podcast

01:47:45.940 --> 01:47:52.300
years ago but um i was in the cape of good hope in south in cape town south africa

01:47:53.030 --> 01:48:01.360
which is the most southern point in uh in africa and i literally in the distance you can just see these whales

01:48:02.180 --> 01:48:06.820
and there was this period of time where i just told my wife like i had my ipod on me

01:48:06.940 --> 01:48:33.020
And I put that on and I put on Flying Whales, the song Flying Whales, and I just like spaced out for like 10 minutes just listening to Flying Whales on the most southern point in Africa, watching whales like go up and down into the like the whatever the apex of the Atlantic and Indian Ocean. Like this is this is like the coolest metal moment of my fucking life.

01:48:38.300 --> 01:49:05.360
That's pretty fucking metal. That is metal. And the first time I ever met Matt in person, drunk as crap at the Inter Arma show at the pre-show for... Upstairs. Upstairs at the foundry in Philadelphia. I turned around like, oh, I know this guy, Matt. First time I met Matt, I tackled him on a hotel back. It was like going to the carol.

01:49:12.280 --> 01:49:36.660
All right, that brings it to me. Is that true? That is true. It's so strange to me that we're thinking of bands in the same order, or at the very least musicians. At least all of us seem to have jived on something here. But in any case, I had to do a Tom Warrior album in this go-around. If you can't guess what it is, there's just something wrong with you. I mean, it's not, or you've never heard me talk before, but as fine as that Trip to Come album is, I would have to take.

01:49:36.840 --> 01:50:03.740
Celtic Frost, Model Theist with me. Also a very long record too. It's got a lot of meat on it and it just goes to a lot of cool places and it's just one of my favorite post-2000 albums. And I never get tired of it. So you were thinking about the Thunderdome too, Jay. Yeah. Yeah, it was... That was not... Satan.

01:50:06.820 --> 01:50:36.760
That was my runner-up to Milana Cosmata. I don't know about it so much. You know, we should do a Thunderdome of Satan and Jesus. I mean, of course, he's going to win. Striper versus Venom in the Metalhead podcast. Thunderdome. Georgie. My number three, you know, I didn't put any Iron Maidens or Judas Priests or anything classic like that on here because I'm a pretty angry guy.

01:50:38.480 --> 01:51:04.200
And so most of my music is pretty heavy on here, but I did decide that I needed one kind of mellow, heavy album on there. And this is what kicked off. You see a fucking black album, I'm going to fucking kill you. It's the Bodyguard by Whitney Houston. Dude, I'm going back for your other nipple. Is that okay? Oh, is it a will thing? That's okay. Okay, then. So my number three is Chemist, Desolation.

01:51:09.060 --> 01:51:35.100
No, I can't argue with that. Love it. Are you not pleased? Are you not entertained? I am pleased and entertained. All right. And very appreciative of your restless leg syndrome. All right. Back to Markisan for number two. Can we call you Thumper with a nickname?

01:51:36.840 --> 01:51:38.580
If you really must

01:51:39.000 --> 01:51:39.840
Oh my god

01:51:39.840 --> 01:51:40.620
That is brilliant

01:51:40.980 --> 01:51:41.320
Perfect

01:51:41.780 --> 01:51:43.360
We're on number two

01:51:43.700 --> 01:51:43.880
Actually

01:51:44.860 --> 01:51:46.320
So my number two

01:51:47.100 --> 01:51:48.680
With respect to Will

01:51:48.920 --> 01:51:50.520
Who named this band earlier

01:51:51.880 --> 01:51:53.280
But picked the wrong album

01:51:53.880 --> 01:51:55.020
He picked Leprosy

01:51:55.580 --> 01:51:57.520
I picked Death Human

01:51:57.540 --> 01:51:58.400
Which is by far

01:51:58.400 --> 01:51:59.740
My favorite

01:52:00.340 --> 01:52:00.780
Good choice

01:52:01.540 --> 01:52:01.920
Me too

01:52:02.120 --> 01:52:02.520
Good choice

01:52:02.520 --> 01:52:02.960
Your favorite

01:52:03.240 --> 01:52:03.700
Yeah

01:52:04.400 --> 01:52:04.680
So yeah

01:52:04.680 --> 01:52:05.639
No this is the

01:52:05.640 --> 01:52:34.900
The album where they really kind of expanded their sound, stylistic change, more progressive, more complex. And I thought it was amazing. Yeah, that's exactly where they started going the wrong direction. I know you're talking about it. Says the guy who can't understand Skyfall. He's true. He's very true. I have to ask you. I don't know what deep secrets are having trouble unwinding their will, to be honest with you. Did anybody see the latest Simpsons? I did not.

01:52:41.620 --> 01:52:42.680
I mean, just like,

01:52:42.850 --> 01:52:44.540
a little way over my head.

01:52:46.740 --> 01:52:49.100
Well, it's a place where he grew up, goddammit.

01:52:49.220 --> 01:52:49.540
Exactly.

01:52:49.560 --> 01:52:50.800
That's too smart for me.

01:52:53.460 --> 01:52:54.080
All right, Matt.

01:52:55.500 --> 01:52:56.440
So my number two,

01:52:58.240 --> 01:53:00.520
following Sue with Markisan and previously Will,

01:53:02.000 --> 01:53:03.440
I needed a death album,

01:53:03.800 --> 01:53:05.260
and it was neither of the ones mentioned.

01:53:06.340 --> 01:53:35.260
And if I were to go today, I would take individual thought patterns with me. Nice. You know, it's funny. We don't do this with a lot of bands, but we frequently pause and say what our favorite death album is. And I know we're doing a list now. And I think we all change every fucking time. I think maybe John chooses human quite often. And apparently Markisan disagrees with that. But I go around and it's fun that this is a band that we seem to do this with. And we've had guests on who are like, what's your favorite death?

01:53:35.340 --> 01:54:05.220
But I know that's happened twice. So strange. Like for me, death is a band, like if I don't know what's going on in my life, if I put death on, everything is fine. And that's true for other bands. And it's, I'm sure it's other bands for other people. But like, there are days where I go into death and it's like, it's leprosy. And then I'll come back and like that one time it was like spiritual healing. And then it was, you know, sound of perseverance. And it just goes all over the map. And somebody's got to say symbolic here. Come on. Yeah. That's my usual.

01:54:32.340 --> 01:54:35.140
Opa, sim,

01:54:35.800 --> 01:55:05.300
It was a death metal album. I can live with that summation. At the time, neither of them worked because it wasn't even a thing yet. So I would not call them necessarily the beginners of the genre. I'll buy that. But it's gone on to be such a different thing. Chuck, he was, in my opinion, he was the pioneer of death metal, hands down. No questions asked. So the cool thing I can at least add to that, and it's not to make it a death match or anything, is that he put together Death because he wanted to put together

01:55:05.360 --> 01:55:34.720
a band like Possessed. That's true. Absolutely true. Well, yeah, they all jammed together. Like Chuck moved from Tampa out to San Francisco and jammed with those guys and came back with stuff. And he's like, but he like Chuck Scholdinger just actually just went further with the genre to where death metal is now than Jeff Becerra did. Would you say it went to one mole? Did you get a new guitar? Well, is that a new guitar behind you?

01:55:35.340 --> 01:56:05.240
I see like a white looking neck or Les Paul or something. Is that a guitar back to your right shoulder? I do have, I don't know how much you can see it. The guitar is on the wall. Okay. So I got my, on the left is the Jeff Hanneman. Sorry, you're looking at my beers and stuff. So actually, as you're looking at on the right is the Jeff Hanneman signature series ESP LTD. In the middle is my daughter.

01:56:05.340 --> 01:56:35.260
is the Ibanez 540 that I've had since I was like 16. Wow, man. Those are some nice guitars. What's the Hanneman one? It's a... So it's a Jeff Hanneman Signature ESP LTD. Nice. What's the picture? Is there a picture on it or is it just reflecting off of something? Huh? Is there like graphics on it or is it like... I think it's just reflecting. Just reflection. Okay. No, but behind me,

01:56:35.340 --> 01:56:36.520
There's no guitars.

01:56:37.800 --> 01:56:38.260
Where were we?

01:56:40.440 --> 01:56:41.200
So my number.

01:56:42.000 --> 01:56:42.660
My number two.

01:56:43.560 --> 01:56:44.100
John's number two.

01:56:44.120 --> 01:56:45.340
I'm getting whiplash from.

01:56:45.500 --> 01:56:45.740
Yeah.

01:56:46.880 --> 01:56:48.140
It's like a strobe light.

01:56:49.500 --> 01:56:51.400
It's like a Chuck E. Cheese in the ball pit.

01:56:55.040 --> 01:56:55.760
Ball pit.

01:56:57.780 --> 01:56:58.440
He said ball.

01:56:58.520 --> 01:56:59.140
Full of coronavirus.

01:57:00.360 --> 01:57:01.140
For sure.

01:57:02.260 --> 01:57:30.400
So my next two picks are my two favorite metal albums. So it was easy to come up with these two on the list. George will appreciate this. I could not be stranded anywhere without having some angelic vocals. And so I would need to have this album with this female vocalist. Wait, this vocalist who happens to be a female. And hot. Yeah, right. I forgot we were doing that hashtag. Oh, yeah.

01:57:33.180 --> 01:58:00.020
Oh, no. But which one? Gathering? Gathering. Yes. There's probably three different ways to say the name of this album. Annika Van Geersbergen. And the album is Mandeloin, Mandelion, Mandillion, whatever you want to call it. It's during 1995. That's what I call it. Yeah. I've heard other people say Mandelin, so Mandillion. Mandillion.

01:58:01.340 --> 01:58:31.300
It is a landmark album. If you like Gothic Doom, it's definitely one of the best ever. I couldn't go without having her on the island. The rest of the album is unbelievably amazing from all the other musicians. It's a great album. I totally agree with that, John. It almost made my list. Didn't, but could at any given day. I just bought the re-release that came out. I'm sure you've seen it. I'm looking forward to getting that. I have it on vinyl already.

01:58:32.239 --> 01:58:34.000
My list is a sausage fest.

01:58:37.920 --> 01:58:41.200
Well, if it helps George, there's five other dudes in the band.

01:58:41.690 --> 01:58:41.820
Yeah.

01:58:46.180 --> 01:58:46.440
All right.

01:58:46.480 --> 01:58:47.120
Well, okay.

01:58:48.000 --> 01:58:48.180
All right.

01:58:48.420 --> 01:58:48.780
So, Will.

01:58:50.180 --> 01:59:01.240
My number two is how can you have a top five list of bands?

01:59:01.260 --> 01:59:30.420
of bands or albums that you cannot live without in a government quarantine, Desert Island, without mentioning fucking Slayer. Rain and Blood. How can you live without that? I mean, it is definitely the opposite of Economies of Scales, which Jay was going for earlier in his picks, but it's not true, Will. If you take the tape, you get double the flavor. That's right. You get two albums in one. That's true, yeah, yeah. That's right.

01:59:30.920 --> 01:59:59.060
Not to mention you, but they say so much more in such a smaller space of time, though. Rain and Blood was to the opposite of what you guys were saying. Like, whoa, whoa, you're going to take me away? Can I grab my record player? They're like, no, but you can grab your tape player if you want. Grab your Sony Walkman. You can take that with you. So yeah, I mean, I don't know. There's not much else to say. Slayer, Rain and Blood.

02:00:00.940 --> 02:00:30.680
be my number three before I thought of Trypticon, before I thought of Chemist. Slayer was on my list, but not Rain of Blood, because South of Heaven is my favorite Slayer album. So it was on my list for a while, and I really need a top ten for this. Yeah. I considered three Slayer albums, Rain of Blood, South of Heaven, and Seasons of the Abyss. It wasn't Hallowait. Sorry, Jay. No, no, no. And I know Will is more.

02:00:31.380 --> 02:01:00.880
But I don't get me wrong. I mean, those are three fucking amazing choices. Yes. So. All right. My number two is a record that I used to go to this friend of mine's friend of mine's friends of mine, friend of mine, whatever the fuck in Tucson every Friday night in the summer. I went there all the time and it was because he was older than me. He could buy beer and stuff. But he was also a good friend of mine. And we just every Friday night, we'd rip it up. And then on the week in the summers, we do it every night. And I kid you not, this guy, this big, huge Fisher stereo. You guys remember

02:01:00.920 --> 02:01:01.240
Yep.

02:01:02.340 --> 02:01:02.940
And I mean,

02:01:02.940 --> 02:01:03.620
they're probably still around,

02:01:03.820 --> 02:01:05.860
but they had turntable on it and everything and stuff.

02:01:05.950 --> 02:01:06.220
We used,

02:01:06.220 --> 02:01:06.760
there was certain,

02:01:06.940 --> 02:01:08.540
I remember it was right around the time that,

02:01:08.680 --> 02:01:09.580
and this is not my choice,

02:01:09.760 --> 02:01:12.400
but right around the time that like a suicidal,

02:01:12.710 --> 02:01:12.800
uh,

02:01:13.160 --> 02:01:15.520
deja vu feel like shit was out and things like that.

02:01:15.660 --> 02:01:17.080
So we were always listening to the same records.

02:01:17.660 --> 02:01:21.380
And one record we put on every time I was there and listened from start to finish,

02:01:21.700 --> 02:01:23.600
never did not listen to the whole album,

02:01:23.860 --> 02:01:29.180
including the drum motherfucking solo was deep purples made in Japan.

02:01:30.240 --> 02:01:59.140
I never get tired of this record. I even just listened to it two days ago, and I went back and listened to all the live Deep Purple stuff I have. It's my idea of proto-metal brilliance. It's just such a good record. It's awesome. It's a great album. And an economy of scales thing again. It's economies of scale. It's a pretty long album, but there's nothing about it I don't like. I mean, you've got Child of Time on there, which is really,

02:02:00.240 --> 02:02:29.100
have been some 80s doom metal song in some weird sort of way and stuff. It's so much rich stuff there. Anyway, Ben Ian Gillen is a god on it. Richie Blackmore is amazing. Blah, blah, blah. Nice. Right on. My number two is interesting because as soon as I wrote this album down on my list, I was making my list today. As soon as I wrote this down on my list, boom, my phone goes off. And who is it? But it's fucking Joel.

02:02:29.900 --> 02:02:59.860
And so as you might guess, this is Thrasenblatt 3, Metathonia. And I was like, dude, I just wrote you down on my list and you texted me. That would have been so much funnier, though, if you said, Joel, who texted me but Joel? So anyway, my record is Kiss Destroyer. I don't know why. I was just hoping for something like that. He thought it was pretty. Did you see a dick pic or like what happened? No, no, he just was checking in to see if I was still alive. And, you know, what do you call that? And well, he and George

02:02:59.880 --> 02:03:29.280
George sent him a dick pic. Oh, that's right. George sent him a dick pic as he was writing it down. And then George was like, oh, it's funny. He texted me back. I mean, he texted me to see if I was okay. Because like, I don't know what that weird wart on your dick was. Hey, are you okay, man? So that's actually how the story went, right, George? Not really. No. Joel's too nice for me to talk like that about him. He is Canadian. He is.

02:03:29.900 --> 02:03:58.480
He puts the redundancy in Nice Canadian. But yeah, so yeah, I couldn't possibly go anywhere without this album. And yeah. You don't even do the album. You just take Joel with you. Did you see that video that I posted on the Facebook from Billy Billy Stever, his Maritime Metal documentary that is going to be coming out? He did an interview with Joel in Odell Park.

02:03:59.880 --> 02:04:26.100
in Fredericton, New Brunswick, where Joel just spends all his time in this forest. And I did an interview with him, and they did some talk about woods, and what's a Vipre that is. And he had Joel sing, I guess it's a cappella? I mean, is it always a cappella if it's no music? Or is he just singing unaccompanied? I don't know. But he did maritime shores, like just standing there in the middle of the forest with no music. And it was brilliant.

02:04:29.900 --> 02:04:59.200
George, just chill out on your shaky leg syndrome right now. You know, Father Guido Sarducci used to say, he used to do this Beatles medley. You guys know him, right? Yeah, of course. He used to do this Beatles medley, and he'd say, I'm going to do this with my, I'm going to do it acapella, which means I'm going to sing it with my hat on. What were you asking? Marcus, you were asking me something? Yeah. How often do you dream of living with Joel in a forest,

02:04:59.880 --> 02:05:29.140
like a chain metal skirt like your Tom Cruise in Legend and just enjoying waterfalls and unicorns. How often does that happen to him? I don't need to do that because I can dream about the time I spent several days at his house. And I've been in the woods with him and I've sat around the campfire with him. So I don't have to dream about it. I just have to remember it. Did your restless leg get tired? Those are all euphemisms, by the way. I've been in the woods with him and sat by a fire with him.

02:05:29.900 --> 02:05:59.060
Naked and Afraid. There's no... I can't imagine a better band experience than that, you know? I was in his house upstairs. I was in his house downstairs. Yep. Hey, Joe, have you ever seen the movie, Bisoli? Who's next? Where are we? Oh, that was George. Number one. Yeah, number one, Markisan. Number one. Okay, so this is my favorite band. It has been for the last few years.

02:05:59.880 --> 02:06:29.820
I'd say that Will's daughter is right. She's wise beyond her years. Chemist is my favorite band right now, and I'm going with the album Hunted. I think Desolation is a better produced and technical album, but Hunted has the songs that I enjoy singing the most right now, especially the title track. So I have to have it with me. How old is your daughter, Will? Nine. I really want there to be a stick.

02:06:29.900 --> 02:06:59.380
or the next Camas album, this is the favorite band of nine-year-old girls. Oh, by the way, wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm going to tell them that when I see them, too. I love being these guys' nemesis. Everybody needs an enemy. I'm theirs. You're more of a frenemy. Did you guys notice? Did you notice? Who got the pre-ordered or got the Temple of Void on vinyl besides John?

02:07:01.480 --> 02:07:27.640
Did you guys notice the liner notes? Thanks to Will. I haven't received the album yet. Thanks to Will and Atlas Brewery, not Atlas Brewery Works, but I'll take it. It mentions you by name in there, Will? Yeah, in the liner notes, like in the thanks section. I mean, I'm buried in there with like 400 other people, but I'm like, I'll take that. I gotta buy it. I gotta say Will. By the way, if you buy the vinyl,

02:07:29.960 --> 02:07:59.860
notes are like laminated like sheen like it's actually like not some shitty flimsy piece of paper i have to say those guys are pretty good about including their fans i mean if you order anything from them directly you always get a note from them saying thanks but i uh posted a picture of the album on instagram and they put me they included me on the you know if you go to a page you get the um the video that a band puts together have you ever seen those if you're on your your phone

02:07:59.880 --> 02:08:01.400
You tap it and you get the video

02:08:02.060 --> 02:08:04.280
And then you tap it again and it takes you to the page

02:08:04.520 --> 02:08:06.300
They included my picture with like about

02:08:06.460 --> 02:08:07.440
six or seven other fans

02:08:07.820 --> 02:08:08.400
Oh that's cool

02:08:08.600 --> 02:08:08.880
That's cool

02:08:09.020 --> 02:08:09.160
Yeah

02:08:09.780 --> 02:08:10.120
So they're

02:08:10.140 --> 02:08:10.220
Yeah

02:08:10.420 --> 02:08:12.240
They're really cool including the fans

02:08:12.900 --> 02:08:14.780
Just today I received my

02:08:15.840 --> 02:08:17.200
Temple of Void

02:08:17.480 --> 02:08:18.380
Long sleeve shirt

02:08:18.520 --> 02:08:19.300
Short sleeve shirt

02:08:19.580 --> 02:08:20.000
The pin

02:08:20.160 --> 02:08:20.960
I threw in a sticker

02:08:21.380 --> 02:08:21.720
And

02:08:22.400 --> 02:08:24.380
Following on Ray from Immortal Bird

02:08:24.740 --> 02:08:26.440
Wasn't on Cat Stationery

02:08:26.540 --> 02:08:28.620
But it was on Temple of Void Stationery

02:08:28.620 --> 02:08:58.520
There was a personal note from Brett, the bass player. He was like, hey, thanks, Will, for supporting us. I was like, fuck yeah, I'm going to take this note. I'm going to frame this bitch. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. John got one, too. That's awesome, dude. You're not so special now, Will. Hey, you know what? You know what it is? I'm special and John is special. There you go. That's the attitude. We already knew that, though. The rest of you four fucks, not special at all. Not at all. I don't know.

02:08:58.640 --> 02:09:27.880
I feel pretty special. All right. Where are we? Matt, number one. My non-special number one has been mentioned, and honestly, I could never go anywhere without having an album from this band. And definitely, I'm big on the three albums that were mentioned together. But I would still have to choose this one above the other two.

02:09:28.620 --> 02:09:58.200
Slayer, rain and blood. Nice. Very nice. It's a very nice. It's a very nice. Oh, wait. Oh, wait. Butch is not here today. Very nice. Jay, I'm picturing you in a big, like, bushy mustache right now every time we do that. So. I met him one time. Did everybody tell you that? He lives in Marin. Mario? No, Father Gudo Sarducci. Ah. We were doing Borat now, but I mean, he was, you know, but he, he,

02:09:58.620 --> 02:10:27.060
And I walked into this 7-Eleven. I shit you not. And there he was. I mean, he looks different now, but it was him. And he was arguing with them about... And I don't think he really cared, but it was like they had this special and it was written like a hot dog this and this and this. And I think he was arguing with them just about the sort of like syntax of the thing. He was like, yeah, but it says if you do this, you get this. And I think he was just being a comedian. I don't think he gave a shit how much this hot dog cost. That's honestly a true story. I walked in and walked out and I was like, that's fun. I'd heard he lived out here.

02:10:27.120 --> 02:10:28.580
So yeah,

02:10:29.040 --> 02:10:29.120
well,

02:10:29.120 --> 02:10:33.620
you guys seen the picture with the beard and mustache.

02:10:33.810 --> 02:10:34.440
She looks exactly.

02:10:34.600 --> 02:10:38.540
Did you see Sasha Baron Cohen doing a character or is this some other character?

02:10:38.720 --> 02:10:39.240
This is father.

02:10:39.280 --> 02:10:39.460
Good.

02:10:39.500 --> 02:10:40.600
You know,

02:10:40.670 --> 02:10:40.760
him,

02:10:40.890 --> 02:10:43.400
you got a fucking really,

02:10:43.600 --> 02:10:44.240
you've never heard of him.

02:10:44.550 --> 02:10:44.880
I forget.

02:10:45.000 --> 02:10:45.720
You're 12 sometimes.

02:10:46.300 --> 02:10:46.480
Yeah,

02:10:46.600 --> 02:10:46.960
I am.

02:10:47.220 --> 02:10:47.500
Thank you.

02:10:52.550 --> 02:10:53.380
You don't remember father.

02:10:53.450 --> 02:10:53.540
Good.

02:10:53.590 --> 02:10:53.780
I said,

02:10:53.920 --> 02:10:54.220
yeah,

02:10:54.290 --> 02:10:55.000
he used to do this.

02:10:55.140 --> 02:10:55.400
Uh,

02:10:55.400 --> 02:10:55.500
you know,

02:10:55.680 --> 02:11:24.140
Saturday Night Live. Saturday Night Live. Saturday Night Live, but he also did stand-up and stuff. He's a funny fucking guy. I still love him. I'm not familiar. God damn it every time I think you're fucking cool. 47 going on 12. Are you really 47? Yeah, I'm fucking 47. Did you just know this fucking guy? Did you just turn off your TV in the 70s or something? No. I was out riding my bike. Okay. That's a pretty good answer.

02:11:27.580 --> 02:11:29.420
All right, John.

02:11:30.400 --> 02:11:33.700
All right, this should come as no surprise, so I won't waste any time with it.

02:11:33.860 --> 02:11:36.160
It's my favorite album for any genre.

02:11:37.040 --> 02:11:38.120
Opeth, still life.

02:11:38.640 --> 02:11:39.700
Couldn't go anywhere without it.

02:11:39.840 --> 02:11:41.160
Listen to it all the time still.

02:11:42.360 --> 02:11:42.520
Cool.

02:11:42.620 --> 02:11:42.760
Okay.

02:11:44.240 --> 02:11:49.600
I'm glad to be back in the Opeth camp, so that meets with my own sort of agreement and approval.

02:11:50.200 --> 02:11:51.720
Not that it needs my approval, but you get my point.

02:11:52.320 --> 02:11:52.460
Yeah.

02:11:53.840 --> 02:11:54.960
Yeah, it makes total sense.

02:11:54.980 --> 02:12:24.460
I wasn't even thinking about that. But yeah. But also another band is kind of hard to choose from. It's cool that you so easily choose that one. I'm thinking it's because chronologically it was the one that you first like really really went head over heels for. Is that a no? No. Blackwater Park was the first one. But I just think it's better. Fair enough. Cool. Will? My number one. All you guys who mentioned Black Sabbath are wrong.

02:12:25.000 --> 02:12:25.380
No.

02:12:26.920 --> 02:12:27.080
Yeah.

02:12:27.270 --> 02:12:29.100
So Will's going to pay technical ecstasy.

02:12:29.600 --> 02:12:29.760
Yeah.

02:12:32.500 --> 02:12:35.860
Because, you know, escalators and robots turn me on.

02:12:38.340 --> 02:12:38.840
It's fine.

02:12:40.200 --> 02:12:43.920
I do not know how you can go wrong with the songs.

02:12:44.170 --> 02:12:50.980
Iron Man, Fairies or Boots, War Pigs, Paranoid, my number one, Black Sabbath Paranoid,

02:12:51.160 --> 02:12:57.320
which is also my so i'm gonna shout out to my my children because my son

02:12:57.840 --> 02:13:04.060
absolutely loves i and my daughter too they love that album they they know every song but they love

02:13:04.180 --> 02:13:08.560
fairies wear boots in particular if i'm not mistaken is that not correct my daughter that's her

02:13:08.760 --> 02:13:15.520
favorite it's one of her favorite songs ever her definitely her favorite black sallot and we um her and i

02:13:15.540 --> 02:13:45.460
I tried to learn it on the guitar together. Even though, just to switch gears here for a minute, even though I've listened to a national acrobat, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath a Million Times, and do know the lyrics, I just look them up to read them, and that song's totally about Spur. I just do my read it. It's like, I do some different directions, but yeah, I mean, it's almost exactly about, so. Nice. I mean, you really can't choose the wrong Black Sabbath album. So, yeah. No, I think that's a technical experience.

02:13:46.920 --> 02:13:47.280
Forbidden.

02:13:48.100 --> 02:13:48.180
Yeah.

02:13:49.280 --> 02:13:51.360
Okay, well, an Aussie or D.O.

02:13:51.940 --> 02:13:52.860
Anything with Tony Martin.

02:13:53.700 --> 02:13:54.340
Never Say Die.

02:13:56.840 --> 02:14:02.200
That album cover should probably be our, you know, somewhere on the Facebook page right now.

02:14:02.620 --> 02:14:05.420
Because first it's called Never Say Die, second it's the, you know.

02:14:05.800 --> 02:14:05.860
Yeah.

02:14:06.620 --> 02:14:07.000
Oh, yeah.

02:14:07.600 --> 02:14:09.340
Well, I feel like you're getting ready to let me have it there.

02:14:11.460 --> 02:14:11.940
In a good way.

02:14:12.090 --> 02:14:12.420
You were like.

02:14:13.100 --> 02:14:14.920
Yeah, I might, depending on what you say.

02:14:15.640 --> 02:14:44.140
What is your number one? You're going to say something cool or it's ape-ass rape? One or the other. Well, I can't. Before I make my decision. I mean, I'm just like John and all of you guys. I'm pretty predictable. I mean, this is my, it really is at the end of the day. It's my favorite metal album of all time. Never get tired of it. Still listen to it. Mirthful Fate. It's fucking amazing. Right.

02:14:46.880 --> 02:14:47.700
Okay, then.

02:14:49.160 --> 02:14:50.140
My number one,

02:14:51.840 --> 02:14:52.180
nobody would,

02:14:52.580 --> 02:14:54.380
I don't think anybody will guess it.

02:14:54.480 --> 02:14:55.460
I mean, I guess it's possible,

02:14:55.670 --> 02:14:56.900
but you're probably thinking,

02:14:56.970 --> 02:14:57.080
well,

02:14:58.020 --> 02:14:58.940
Throssenblot was number two.

02:14:59.080 --> 02:15:00.280
What could possibly be number one?

02:15:01.040 --> 02:15:01.380
I guess.

02:15:01.820 --> 02:15:03.200
I know they're Throssenblot out.

02:15:04.900 --> 02:15:05.060
No,

02:15:05.720 --> 02:15:06.860
but Joel is on it.

02:15:07.290 --> 02:15:09.300
And that is the Woods of Ypres.

02:15:10.340 --> 02:15:10.620
Five,

02:15:10.860 --> 02:15:12.100
Gray Skies and Electric Light.

02:15:12.960 --> 02:15:13.160
Nice.

02:15:13.440 --> 02:15:14.260
That is my goat.

02:15:14.480 --> 02:15:41.400
This might be two albums for everything. I listen to that album all the freaking time. What's funny is when you started on your number five and you talked about the band didn't exist because the singer wasn't around anymore. That's where I thought you were going. It's bookends. They're bookends. Five and one. No singers. I thought you were talking about Suicide Silence. Nope. Nope. Yeah. Love that album to death.

02:15:44.500 --> 02:16:11.180
You said earlier that Joel does not have a restraining order against you. Is that correct? No. And actually, like willingly, like I said today, he texted me out of the blue. I mean, we talked a couple weeks ago, but. He's just making sure, like, did he ask you leading questions? Like, are you still in Virginia? Like, are you still in Maryland? Like, hey, hey, did you check out Flying Dog tonight? Like, oh, yeah, check it out. He's like, oh, fuck. That guy's not in Canada right now. I'm outside your house.

02:16:15.240 --> 02:16:16.380
So mean to me.

02:16:18.220 --> 02:16:19.700
It's like Stockholm syndrome.

02:16:21.080 --> 02:16:25.300
Well, you know, I was just thinking today while I was listening to Metathonia

02:16:29.620 --> 02:16:35.440
how lucky I am that my favorite band, I also know the guy and am friends with the guy.

02:16:35.940 --> 02:16:38.519
And, you know, and he's not an asshole.

02:16:38.809 --> 02:16:40.300
Like, you know, they say don't meet your heroes.

02:16:40.429 --> 02:16:42.860
And I lucked out that, well, he's a pretty cool guy.

02:16:43.940 --> 02:17:13.540
Yeah. That's true. I mean, coming from the comic book world, I've met a lot of people now because I'm in comics and most of them, I really admired their work, but I would say like 85% of them I don't like personally. Yeah. That was unexpected, you know, and, and unfortunate, you know, I almost wish, I mean, I do, I like being in comics, but that's crazy. That's just crazy.

02:17:13.780 --> 02:17:41.960
And I'm not trying to cheapen this. I'm not trying to sound as mean as I am. But it's sort of like, but it would be like, you know, I can't believe so many Star Trek fans are dicks. You know what I mean? Like, I mean, like, it's just kind of comes with the genre. You know what I mean? It's just like, excuse me, what you did wrong there was, you know, I mean, it's because comic books are laden with that. Yeah, I mean, and I've got a lot of leeway, but you can just tell when somebody is not a good person. You know, I don't know. So that is the disappointing part of it.

02:17:42.240 --> 02:17:43.280
I meant to ask you,

02:17:43.420 --> 02:17:43.519
um,

02:17:43.960 --> 02:17:44.400
it was you,

02:17:44.580 --> 02:17:45.880
were you attending comic con?

02:17:46.240 --> 02:17:48.080
Should it go on or are you going to sit in the booth?

02:17:49.360 --> 02:17:51.099
I just planned on attending.

02:17:51.160 --> 02:17:52.840
I actually have a ticket to go.

02:17:53.040 --> 02:17:53.099
Yes.

02:17:53.280 --> 02:17:53.420
Because,

02:17:53.620 --> 02:17:53.719
um,

02:17:53.920 --> 02:17:54.340
creators,

02:17:54.519 --> 02:17:58.139
you can apply for like a creator pass and you get it for like three,

02:17:58.540 --> 02:17:59.780
four or five years or something.

02:18:00.500 --> 02:18:03.179
So I applied for that so I can go and I get in free.

02:18:03.960 --> 02:18:04.380
And my,

02:18:04.440 --> 02:18:04.940
my buddy,

02:18:05.200 --> 02:18:05.599
my buddy,

02:18:05.719 --> 02:18:06.000
Jason,

02:18:06.280 --> 02:18:07.219
who drew voracious,

02:18:07.880 --> 02:18:09.019
he loves going there.

02:18:11.719 --> 02:18:12.120
Yeah.

02:18:12.139 --> 02:18:41.880
Yeah, I've been there before, and we actually had a table there once, but I didn't get to see everything because you're at the table, and it's just so big. So I was looking forward to going there as just a fan. I might do some signings and stuff at the booth or do panels or something like that, but for the most part, the plan was just to enjoy Comic-Con as just somebody with a ticket. So I don't know. It's not canceled yet. It's later in the summer, so it could.

02:18:42.840 --> 02:19:11.700
I don't have high hopes for it. I don't either. But yeah, we have the hotel booked and flights and everything. We're ready to go, but just waiting to hear the word before I have to pull the plug on it. Yeah. Which is a death song, by the way. Off Leprosy, the best fucking album. I do want to take this time since we're talking about comics. I posted it on, I asked permission from you fine.

02:19:14.598 --> 02:19:41.480
to post it on the Facebook page. But my niece's husband, so my absolute favorite niece in the world. I have three of them, so it's not just... It's not by default. I like that. It's not by default. She is my favorite. Her husband, Jesse Bear, is a... He's like you. He's a comic book author. He's not an illustrator or color.

02:19:41.940 --> 02:19:43.840
or anything like that. But he's got a

02:19:43.840 --> 02:19:45.380
Tracer. Yeah.

02:19:46.200 --> 02:19:47.860
He's got also an

02:19:48.019 --> 02:19:49.340
illustrator because I did draw cover.

02:19:50.620 --> 02:19:51.080
Okay. Well,

02:19:52.920 --> 02:19:53.620
are you a Tracer?

02:19:55.599 --> 02:19:57.600
But he's got that he's got a Kickstarter

02:19:57.960 --> 02:19:59.840
out kind of like you did Markisan

02:19:59.980 --> 02:20:01.700
for his comic burlap. And

02:20:02.300 --> 02:20:03.960
I got a sneak

02:20:04.160 --> 02:20:05.900
peek at episode one, two

02:20:06.260 --> 02:20:07.220
and I think three.

02:20:10.959 --> 02:20:11.920
But it's

02:20:11.920 --> 02:20:41.900
Absolute like slasher horror noir slight supernatural uh just completely fucked up comic uh called burlap so burlap is like this guy who is a like grew up in this like serial killer kidnapped as a kid um brought up in like this house of serial killers joining this like cult like thing like you're gonna be a

02:20:41.920 --> 02:21:11.860
He's like, no, I got my own mind. Fuck you guys. And I'm going to hunt you fuckers down as you're going out and continuing your killing. And there's a little bit of like Illuminati kind of like background story to it. It's a really, really, really good story. And anyway, look it up on Facebook or whatever burlap. It's a. We said there's a link to it. We put it in a link. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's on our Facebook page.

02:21:11.900 --> 02:21:41.800
and there's a Kickstarter going for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's kind of, and he, and I, I told him about you and you, Markisan, and how you did this thing where like you, if you, if you, you know, contribute to the Kickstarter that will put you in a comic and all that stuff. And so he actually already had that idea. So I've seen some of the comics where he's incorporated some of his friends who are getting killed or whatever.

02:21:41.900 --> 02:22:11.840
It's a total slasher, super gory comic. It's really good. And what's interesting to me is now that I know you, Marcus, I super love Voracious. I had this point in my life where I caught up and read all the Voracious and then the next one, Volume 3, wasn't out yet. And I was like, well, fuck. It's almost like when you watch your favorite TV show and you gotta wait a week. I had that with Voracious.

02:22:11.900 --> 02:22:41.580
I was like, I was like, what the fuck is going on? I'm missing Starley's boobs right now. Like, we don't show the boobs in the comics, by the way. Just because you brought up the series, blah, blah. Did anybody watch The Outsider? I don't know who to watch this. I watched it. So fucking good. What is it? The Outsider. Stephen King thing on HBO. Oh, I read the book.

02:22:41.920 --> 02:23:11.660
I haven't watched the show yet and it was out. It was fucking great, dude. You should watch it. The show is really good, yeah. I'm disappointed in certain aspects of what I've seen. If you're listening and you like, and so the other aspect of it is that my niece's husband, Jesse, does like metal, and so he, in future episodes, is probably going to incorporate some cool metal aspects like Easter eggs and stuff in the comic. So that's why I bring it up. If it was about like,

02:23:13.020 --> 02:23:40.780
Unicorns and Rainbows? Yeah. I wouldn't talk about it. I read it and I believe in it. I gave a lot of money to his Kickstarter, but he still needs a little bit of help. If you're listening to this, check it out. All right. Cool. All right. We have a few more topics we want to talk about that weren't necessarily coronavirus related at all.

02:23:41.900 --> 02:24:10.580
But just a few things that came up that we thought we would mention. First one has been alluded to several times, and that is the pre-orders are going for the Trypticon Requiem Live at Roadburn. Yeah, I ordered the God package. Which is not that God. It's only $84. I was slightly tempted by that, even though I don't do vinyl anymore.

02:24:12.779 --> 02:24:41.620
Wait, what? Yeah, it happened a while back. Oh, yeah. But here's what it comes with, George. It's got the CD version, the DVD version, so you get to watch it. And it's got the LP version, and then it's got a rehearsal take of Winter from Monotheos, which is part of the whole deal. And presumably some kick-ass liner notes, which it does not mention. So for $84, that's a pretty good package. No bad. Yeah, that's the Artbook version, so it's got that.

02:24:41.640 --> 02:25:11.460
Doesn't it have like a 7 inch or something in it too? It does, yeah. The 7 inch is that. I mean, how disappointing are you for that 7 inch, man? Really? Will's like, I got more than that. Yeah, the 7 inch is that practice track, but it's like, it just looks cool. It comes with some posters and shit. It looks pretty neat. I got that version too because I was excited about it. That's 15% off too if you pre-order it. Because it's normally $100, yeah. Nice. I'm going to wait for the extended package.

02:25:11.660 --> 02:25:41.440
Well, and also just for those people who don't know what this is. Yeah, you know, 7 inches is about 15% off. Of who? The extended package, you get that 15% back. Oh, yeah. For those who don't know what this is, and this is literally the description, it's 30 years in the making, and it's because it's this kind of, what do you want to call it? Trilogy. Trilogy, thank you, George.

02:25:42.000 --> 02:26:11.600
of musical pieces that came out or were created at various points in Celtic Frost's career and then ultimately post-Celtic Frost because the last part, which was really the second part, was written to complete the trilogy. It was always intended to be a trilogy. The first song that was on Into the Pandemonium, the first part of it actually says part one of the trilogy or whatever. And anyway, so it's just a scene through that. And that's one of the things I like about Thomas. There is this thread that runs through and there was all these things he wanted to accomplish.

02:26:14.339 --> 02:26:41.540
And it was always the long haul with him. I don't know if you guys knew this, but if you read the book, which was so fucking good, the cover of To Make A Therion, they had met H.I. Giger and they just convinced him somehow, like, yeah, you can use a piece of my artwork. And they gave him To Make A Therion. And they had that album cover before anything else ever came out. But they were like, but we're going to make a record.

02:26:41.660 --> 02:27:11.440
called 2 Megatherion, and it will be this cover, but we've got to work our way up to it. So they've always had this grand plan, and this is the culmination of part of his grand plan. So it's really kind of a big deal. That's what made it so exciting. It's been so long in the making, and it's finally here. So that's why I committed to getting the big package. Indeed. Did you watch it when I was on? They actually streamed it live. I'll be right over. You guys like it? I said, big package.

02:27:12.979 --> 02:27:41.480
In any case, I'm excited for it, obviously, because I have so much goddamn stuff to say about it, but very cool. Also, I would point out this was one of the things when I was lucky enough to meet him, I asked him, were they going to release this? And he was like, yeah. So it was cool to see it actually happen. Awesome. Right on. Next week, just a couple of album announcements, not quite as major as this one, but Paradise Lost released a video for their new song, Fall From Grace.

02:27:41.660 --> 02:28:11.320
from their forthcoming album called Obsidian. I gave that a listen today and it's alright. It's as good as Morbid Angels Fall from Grace. No, not that good. But that's alright is kind of the going rate for them these days. It's alright. It has a good riff in it. For sure. I confess I haven't listened to it, but I will. I haven't listened to it yet either. Similarly, Catatonia released a video for their new song,

02:28:11.680 --> 02:28:41.000
Behind the Blood from their forthcoming album City Burials. I listened to that one too and yeah I really am not I don't dislike Catatonia but I am never blown away by them either. So. Despel did not like the new album. Yeah. They gave him like a six I think. Did you get your magazine already? I've been looking for that thing for a couple days now. I don't get it. I mean if you like modern day Catatonia you know this is similar to that.

02:28:43.979 --> 02:29:11.580
I was going to say I checked out on them after a great cold distance in the mid 2000s. I haven't really liked anything since then. Last fair deal gone down. That was my last one. The last good thing they did was bloodbath. Take two seconds just because Will mentioned that Decibel did not care for it. And I mentioned that only because you know what? They probably are insured but they surely took a hit because of this thing. And if you're not,

02:29:12.579 --> 02:29:41.200
If you don't have a subscription to Decibel, get one. Do that to help them out. Just like you're trying to help bands out and stuff. Get that magazine. Pay a couple bucks and get it delivered to you every month. It's the only metal magazine in the States. It's the only one that matters. I'm not sure. The only real one. Where's Terrorizer from? That's British, but they're toast. Wait, is Metal Hammer still coming out? Yes, but they changed. That's not metal.

02:29:41.660 --> 02:29:43.520
the revolver format now so they suck

02:29:44.280 --> 02:29:49.840
yeah so there is like i said i think it's the only real metal magazine out there at all

02:29:49.940 --> 02:29:53.700
there's actually another one i want to pitch and it's called iron fist and it comes out of england

02:29:54.420 --> 02:29:59.760
and it's it's really good actually they do all kinds of weird stuff like they'll have a cover of

02:30:00.760 --> 02:30:04.280
entombed ad and just do a big huge article with them but then they kind of hit some old school

02:30:04.420 --> 02:30:08.739
stuff and everything it's really a fine magazine iron fist keeping out for it where can you get it

02:30:09.479 --> 02:30:37.260
I got it at Barnes & Noble. So I see it occasionally. It doesn't come out on the regular, but it does come out semi-regularly. There's something called Zero Tolerance that's pretty good, too. That's not bad. It's hard to get. You can't read it. It's too small, the prints. I really like Highlights. Ricky Reckon or Rocky Reckon. I like Teen Beat. I get Ranger Rick and Highlights. National Geographic Kids. Boys Life.

02:30:40.060 --> 02:30:41.780
I read all this. He's a tiger.

02:30:42.060 --> 02:30:42.480
Junior.

02:30:44.480 --> 02:30:45.000
Ranger Rick.

02:30:45.120 --> 02:30:46.500
I love Ray Drake when I was a kid,

02:30:46.600 --> 02:30:46.760
man.

02:30:46.870 --> 02:30:47.000
Yeah.

02:30:47.780 --> 02:30:48.320
It's still around.

02:30:49.560 --> 02:30:50.880
Every time the chocolates has one.

02:30:51.590 --> 02:30:54.000
We do need to revive a metal maniacs though.

02:30:54.520 --> 02:30:54.680
Yeah.

02:30:54.940 --> 02:30:56.120
I liked that one when it was around.

02:30:56.580 --> 02:30:57.280
Remember hit parade.

02:30:57.860 --> 02:30:58.000
Yeah.

02:30:58.220 --> 02:30:59.280
That was the first one I got.

02:31:00.950 --> 02:31:01.520
You guys should,

02:31:01.620 --> 02:31:04.020
I mentioned to you to follow Ron Quintana on Facebook.

02:31:04.110 --> 02:31:05.020
It's our friend up with him.

02:31:05.020 --> 02:31:05.660
You don't have to follow him.

02:31:05.740 --> 02:31:35.700
Yeah, no, I did. He's got all kinds of good stuff. He does, and he's always posting good old magazines that you'll recognize. He'd be like, I had a copy of that. He's an absolute archivist at this point. Yeah, between him and Vault of Vintage Toys, that's my entire feed. Yeah, Vault of, there's been some cool Vault of Science Fiction and Retro. What is that one called, John? They've been putting up some cool stuff lately. Yeah, but the site guy,

02:31:35.740 --> 02:32:05.640
got banned just recently because somebody complained that the owner of the site posted too many posts too quickly. So they called it spam. And he just basically every morning posts like four or five things. And it's all related to the site. But it's a sci-fi and something vintage 2.0. Yeah, that's what it is. It's a really good site. That's why I haven't seen it, huh? Yeah, he should. No, I mean, he's still. I think there's some stuff to get now. It's just some asshole. I haven't seen anything, so maybe. Yeah, some asshole got pissed and said,

02:32:05.760 --> 02:32:07.380
with spam and it was just being a jerk

02:32:07.800 --> 02:32:09.800
because Facebook will believe the first person

02:32:09.840 --> 02:32:11.820
who says something. You could just unfollow it,

02:32:12.000 --> 02:32:13.820
dickhead. Hey, what was that one

02:32:13.840 --> 02:32:15.680
you just mentioned, George? What was the one you said

02:32:15.780 --> 02:32:16.960
that filled up your feed? Vault of Vintage Toys.

02:32:18.380 --> 02:32:19.520
Ooh, I like some of that.

02:32:20.840 --> 02:32:21.540
It's called, by the way,

02:32:21.740 --> 02:32:23.420
the one John and I are retro sci-fi.

02:32:23.720 --> 02:32:26.000
Hollywood, like ball gags and

02:32:26.400 --> 02:32:27.920
like... Nah, it's like old Star Wars

02:32:28.100 --> 02:32:29.340
toys and, you know,

02:32:29.560 --> 02:32:30.800
stuff like that. Yeah, I love that stuff, dude.

02:32:31.600 --> 02:32:32.700
Cool, I'm following that shit.

02:32:34.560 --> 02:33:03.580
All right, so we got one more item. We got to pimp this because it's our boys and chemists, and they've got a new EP coming out called Doomed Heavy Metal. As mentioned, it has a cover of Dio's Rainbow in the Dark on there. It's kind of a mishmash collection, really. Like, isn't there some live stuff on there and stuff? It's one of those things, and I love things like this. The 80s. Yeah, you know, they're on nuclear blast now, so this is probably just sort of a, hey, let's get something out there through nuclear blast.

02:33:04.841 --> 02:33:32.940
Well, they did the Decibel thing, and that's on there, right? That song from Decibel? Yeah. And then they did a split. They did a split with footage riff, so they have a cover of the song from Oh Brother, We're Out Thou. Yeah. And then there's three live songs. There's one, I guess, quasi-new song. We got the promo for it. Yeah.

02:33:33.660 --> 02:34:03.620
I have to tell you that's acceptable and I mean that because that's a hard one to cover that's a very acceptable cover of Rainbow the Dark and I don't that's so good it was a very good they decided let's just do it like us let's don't try to come exactly exactly they did a good job with it but don't tell him I said that yeah so yeah go pick that up and yeah

02:34:03.660 --> 02:34:33.540
All right, well, does anybody else have anything we want to talk about? Are we doing what we're listening to or anything? No, because this isn't a real episode. It's not a real episode. These aren't the droids you're looking for. I did prepare what we're listening to. Well, go ahead and do it if you want. Well, no, I was going to say this. One thing that we should do is that, especially for you, George, where you list like 40 fucking albums and everyone's spaces,

02:34:33.640 --> 02:35:03.620
out and then you get angry at us because like oh because Markisan told me about this and you're like no i told you about that well it's kind of hard to tell when you list 40 fucking albums so one of the things it only takes like a couple minutes you know out of like a three hour episode it's only a couple right but it's still 40 thing like i can list 60 albums in 60 fucking seconds asshole but i don't really want to get my point i don't really want to jump on will's side here but i will say this a rectal exam

02:35:03.660 --> 02:35:32.720
It probably takes 60 seconds, but you know what I mean? But it still feels like forever. I'm fucking with you, George. Anyway, my point being is that if we do the, hey, what we're listening to, if you do decide to list a lot of things, we should probably institute a little bit of a rule that if you want to leave the one that you're super excited about, that you think people should have, like, go buy this, go put this on your list, leave that for the end.

02:35:32.760 --> 02:36:02.560
if it's one or two albums and talk about them a little bit more in depth rather than just listing 40 things. You know, I've cut down my list quite a bit. You guys keep bitching about it. But most of the time, they're like 10 or less. For a while now. And it's just, you have to carry it for the rest of your life. I mean, no matter what now. You know what I mean? Like, I'll always be some guy who did. Like, what did I do? I stuck up the bathroom. You know what I mean? So I'm never going to live that down. Exactly. You will not. Exactly. I don't think it was just the bathroom change.

02:36:02.780 --> 02:36:27.780
But whatever. Three floors of the west wing of a building. I mean Philadelphia has not smelled the same. Might actually be the origin of the coronavirus. When's the last time you ate a bat and shit everywhere? I was trying to rewrite history there a little bit. I was like you guys remember that? I don't know.

02:36:32.760 --> 02:37:02.720
Is that like just pick one or two that you're like listen this and it you know maybe slightly aside from our albums of the month or maybe it can be including our albums of the month but like this is the one I think you guys will you should listen to that's all I was gonna say are you ever gonna do your list you want me to do a list I can write run through it but I'm just gonna do one fine whatever yeah bitches

02:37:04.399 --> 02:37:32.700
I will mention two. One, Testament Titans of Creation, I was not that impressed by. You're going to take up time to tell us about something you don't like? Yeah. But Rotting Kingdom, Deeper Shade of Sorrow, I think you should absolutely check out Rotting Kingdom. They're from Kentucky. They were supposed to play Atlas on the 1st. They had an EP out. It's a death team band, but they had an EP out a couple years ago.

02:38:01.319 --> 02:38:02.720
A.J.

02:38:02.760 --> 02:38:31.060
or something? Maybe. I mean, possibly. Okay. Don't know. Did you check out the Beast of Revelation album? That's your boy from Incantation. I mentioned that on the last cast, I believe. Yeah. I did not. Well, maybe you should. What's that name? Beast of Revelation. Beast of Revelation. Yes, John McEntee.

02:38:32.760 --> 02:39:02.320
John Mac and Cheese? I don't know. I actually don't know how to say his last name. It's Mac and Cheese. I'm all for calling it. Beast what? We need to get back to sheltering in place here. Beast of Revelation. Shelter in place. Aren't we already doing that? I need to get back to doing nothing. I have to say this.

02:39:02.760 --> 02:39:32.700
a little exposed even on this kind of a group phone call. I would not be surprised if one of us walks away with an ear infection. Or pregnant. Or pregnant. So are we doing cast next week for 100? Are we still sticking to the... I'm down. I think next week, yeah. 100? I thought it was 50. It's 50. Well, it's cast. Episode 100, top 50 albums of the first 50 years.

02:39:33.220 --> 02:39:34.380
One per year.

02:39:38.779 --> 02:39:39.220
Yes.

02:39:39.680 --> 02:39:40.120
Yeah.

02:39:40.500 --> 02:39:41.700
So next Saturday.

02:39:42.680 --> 02:39:42.920
Yes.

02:39:44.560 --> 02:39:45.780
Sunday is going to suck.

02:39:46.540 --> 02:39:47.780
Are we starting that early though?

02:39:48.380 --> 02:39:48.500
Yeah.

02:39:48.780 --> 02:39:50.580
I don't know what we're going to do.

02:39:50.840 --> 02:39:51.920
Should we start it a little earlier?

02:39:53.960 --> 02:39:56.980
I mean, it's up to you guys because it's not late for me at all.

02:39:57.520 --> 02:39:57.660
Yeah.

02:39:58.150 --> 02:39:58.300
Yeah.

02:39:58.540 --> 02:40:02.200
I would say that we probably started earlier unless we're super disciplined.

02:40:02.340 --> 02:40:31.880
and just like run through our lists relatively. Yeah. I would say, I think portions of it will automatically happen that way. Anyway, I'm down for whatever. And it is just like Markisan. It's just, it's earlier for me. So whatever you guys want to do is fine. We'll figure it out. That works. Okay. So assuming we're all still alive and not hospitalized by next week. We will do that. All right. Thanks for coming. We'll see y'all next time.

02:40:32.360 --> 02:40:38.640
Peace. Sounds good. Thanks, y'all. Stay healthy. Bye, boys. Yeah, likewise you, likewise you, fellas. Stay safe. Stay sane.

Hi, this is Congressman David Krohn. I'm calling to invite you to participate in my upcoming live telephone town hall about the coronavirus.

You should expect the phone call on Thursday, March 19 at 7:00 p.m. The purpose of this call is to listen to your concerns about the coronavirus and to provide up-to-date information ways you and your family can be prepared. If you prefer to participate from a different phone, you can do so by calling 855-962-1079 at the time of the event. If you have any questions, please call my office.
