Ocelot Robot in studio, band name game, news roundup

Take it off, take it in Take off all the thoughts of what we've been Take a look, hesitate Take a picture you could never recreate Write a song, make a note Falling on that ship It's right, it's right You hear that offbeat clapping, that's me My name's Justin Cross and this is Sarcastic News Live. Guys, I'm here. We have a very, it's a special show. We've got Ocelot Robot in the house tonight. Culver City's own. Culver City's own. They have a big CD coming out, so we're going to talk a little bit more about that. But we, if you don't watch the show much, or listen to the show, we're coming at you live. Not dead, but live from the Skid Row Studios in the heart of LA's complimentary used needle district. And... We got a... This is a big show. Like I said, a big, large show. Our guest, LA rock band Ocelot Robot. Also, with me, as usual, right here in the rat cage, Jake the Snake Cranny. Snake, how are you feeling tonight? I don't like to go out on limbs, Justin. You know this. But I'm going to go out on one tonight. I'm going out on a limb. This is going to be our what show? I'm pumped. I'm really pumped. I feel like tonight might be one of our top 36 to 38 shows. In that range. Pretty good. In that range. You flirt. That's being hopeful. All right. We've done 21 shows. So, it's like coffee. He's leaving a little, you know, space for cream. Set that bar low. Cream. Oh, man. The best... I like these guys because they're a fun group. And I know they're a fun group because we couldn't get up the elevator five minutes ago. And I'm like, what the fuck? I'm freaking out a little bit. And they're just cool. They're just cool as a cucumber. We were actually down there for 30 minutes. Yeah. The beer helped. Just 60. Six guys in an elevator. Well, it's good that we had that blow down there. They're hopped up. We thought it was part of the show. It is. And Mindy, work in the technical. Oh, I'm here. And Mindy, tell us about... You've got a show coming. You're in the band. I do. My band, Dangerously Sleazy, has a show tomorrow night. Thursday at the Redwood in downtown LA. If you guys are into super punk rock, hard-hitting drums... Dangerously Sleazy. I'm gonna fucking shred. Are you gonna shred beef? I do that before. That's how I can be so fast at drums. I have lots of shredding experience. A lot of practice. Oh, Jesus. Shred beef? Yeah, apparently... I shred my beef a lot. I'm gonna... Oh, my... We need to get into that for the third straight week. I'm gonna use that tomorrow. It's a term for female masturbation. And also, calling in here, Kareem the Dream Maddox. Kareem is our social media guru, and he's gonna be calling in in a little while. They call him the Dream, by the way, because the majority... He's not here tonight, but the majority of the show, he's usually passed out. He's usually sleeping. But I'm very excited, very excited to have Ocelot here. It's gonna be an electric show. Electric. It's gonna be like boogie-woogie-woogie electric right here. We've got Ocelots. We've got snakes. Peter would approve of this show. But I wanna get right... Unless they eat me. Yeah, well... Animal cruelty. Unless they're from Florida, they're not gonna eat a snake. A shorthand nickname for you is snakes. Yeah. Snakes on a plane. Snakes on a goddamn plane. Why did it have to be snakes? And we're gonna get right down to it. The big story of the week, folks. Everyone's been talking about it. NFL wide receiver Jacoby Jones was involved in a fight on a party bus and was hit over the head, get this, with a champagne bottle by a stripper. Head coach John Harbaugh commented, I always tell the guys, nothing good happens after midnight. Adding, except when you're in the Harbaugh house, then he stared off into space, nodding his head with a creepy grin. On to more serious news, though. Iran. I ran a 5K last week. No, I'm just kidding. So far away. Talking about Iran, the country, everyone's new favorite Iranian leader, Hassan Rouhani, said this week that the Holocaust did in fact happen and his regime condemns the horrific event. Adding, by the way, too soon? No. Rouhani also said he intends to bring peace and friendship from Iranians to Americans. Now, this is a far cry from his predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who believed the Holocaust to be a myth. Ahmadinejad also reportedly believed that evolution to be a, that it was a fallacy. And as a result, SpongeBob SquarePants to be a blasphemous and radical program that if possible, he would, quote, bomb the shit out of. So. Don't you like having us all in here? It's awesome. No, it's awesome. And I don't know if you guys are faking it, but I don't care. Just keep going. Like I said, the drugs help. And what is being called the biggest waste of time since season nine of Two and a Half Men. Texas Senator, Texas Senator Ted Cruz finally finished his verbal assault on Obamacare on the Senate floor Wednesday. Cruz talked for 21 straight hours, 21 straight hours, and failed to win over senators, from either party. Cruz has vaulted himself as a prominent figure in just nine months in office. Conservatives are plotting his rogue status, calling him the Cruz missile and also Cruz control. While Democrats see the new senator as a reckless and foolish person, calling him names like booze Cruz and simply douchebag. Now in his 21 hour performance, Cruz said he has learned that defying party leaders is, quote, liberating. And that his long evening involved sometimes pain, and sometimes fatigue. Adding, man, it's a good thing I'm a senator and can receive the best healthcare in the world for all this pain and fatigue. I mean, it would really suck if I was 10 years older and came down, came down with a real healthcare issue, but didn't have adequate benefits because companies would rather hire cheaper, more inexperienced laborers that would reduce healthcare provider costs and general overhead. I mean, if that was the case, then initiatives put through an Obamacare would actually benefit me. Adding, but you know, like George Carlin says, you ever notice that your shit is stuff and other people's stuff? Stuff is shit. I love the lengthy ones. But, but who really wants to discuss how Ted Cruz is a massive cock-block to the nation's government continuing to operate this past week? Doogie Howser, I mean, he hosted the Emmys and Breaking Bad was declared the greatest show ever. Um, I don't know if you guys caught the Emmys, but the highlights of the broadcast included the Colbert Report taking home an Emmy, uh, Sarah Silverman danced with Neil Patrick Harris, and Eric, uh, I'm sorry, Elton John, uh, played the piano wearing a sparkly curtain from a Las Vegas casino. Um, I don't know if you guys saw that. I guess not. Um, it's good to know that with all the struggles in certain parts of the country, uh, we can still get our richest celebrities together, uh, dress them up in outrageously expensive dresses they'll only wear once, and then let, uh, let them give each other symbolic rusty trombones. So, glad, glad we still got that. Uh, again, my name is Justin Cross. I actually never think I said my name, uh, I was gonna open up, hey, my name's Ellen because I look like her, but, um, uh, my name's, uh, my name's Justin Cross. I like him. You're listening to Sarcastic News Live. We've got Ocelot Robot in the house. We're gonna talk to them more, uh, in just a few minutes. Now, uh, we want you guys to call in. We've got a fun game coming up next. We've also got a, we've got a, you know, like I said, we've got the band in house. So if you want to ask them a question, call in 800-893-9562. That's 800-893-9562. And, uh, Snake, are we, are you guys ready? Are we gonna, uh, do a little, uh, a song as we go to break here? I do not believe they're prepared yet, but I have prepared some, uh, intimate music while we, we get them set. Now let's, let's, before we get going, what's the new, okay, tell us about the new CD, guys. Uh, what's it called? It's not, it's actually only CD. It's not digital. They're just going straight classic CD. Uh, 8-track as well, actually. New record's called, I guess record? We'll go with record. It's called Otheldo. Otheldo. Okay. And it comes out tomorrow, which made me wonder if it's already out in some parts of the world, like somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean or something. Like, they've already got it. Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks already got it. The Kiwis love it. For sure. Yeah, man. It comes out tomorrow, three years in the making. Uh, we can't wait, man. We got a big release show tomorrow night. That's awesome. Yeah. That's awesome. That's, uh, it's Nate right there. We got Mark, David, Nate, and Jeff in the house, and, uh, we're gonna be talking with them more. Um, going to break here, uh, who do we have, Snake? We've got Ocelot Robot. Ocelot Robot. Brand new song, Back to Buffalo. Stay with us here on Sarcastic News Live. Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. Well done. That's Back to Buffalo by Ocelot Robot, our special guest here tonight, and, I like that song, man. That's good. What, now, who's from, is anybody from Buffalo, or? Absolutely not. It's a metaphor for chocolate. Okay. Okay. Uh, no personal connection whatsoever. Okay. I'll take that. I'll take that. Now, I was, we were talking during the break, um, they were noticing, uh, we were talking about the studio. I love the studio here in the rat cage. And I was telling him that there's a show that comes after us, a sex show called Intellectual Kink. And I think it was that show where the girl got fisted. There was actually a girl who got fisted over in the corner. Yeah, that corner over there by the drummer guy, Jeff. Like, I believe you're in the fisting corner. That's unfortunate. Or the fisting corner of the table because it happened on that table. Was this a guy and a girl or just a girl? Two girls. Well, I guess not just a girl. I put my food on the corner of that table. Oh, it must taste delicious. Oh, goodness. Oh, man. I wonder why I got sick last week. A good sick man. I clean the table every once in a while. I wonder why the Ted Cruz joke didn't go well. Who's Ted Cruz? Yeah, exactly. Until he starts tapping his foot in a Minnesota restroom, then... Nobody will know. Exactly. We got a fun game here, Jake the Snake. Go ahead and take it away. I think Ocelot's going to play with us. Ocelot Robot's going to play as a team against Justin Cross. Oh, and we got Kareem, right? Is Kareem on the line? Kareem the Dream. Kareem? Hi, is this the Joe Rogan podcast? Yeah, no, not the Joe Rogan podcast, definitely. But you can think we are. Justin, buddy, it's Fred the Hammer. How you doing, man? Oh, Fred the Hammer Ortiz. Okay, all right. I like it. I must have dialed the wrong number. I'm a snake. He records his podcast tonight, too. Sorry. Oh, no, I love it. We always get mixed up with Joe. So, no. That's a common thing, man. This is Fred. He's a good friend of mine. He's down in... Fred, you're in where? San Francisco. That's right. That's right. Now, what are you doing right now? Are you... It sounds like you're in a closet, maybe, or... Crawl space, perhaps. Possibly... Possibly. I do live in a closet, actually. That's how I can afford to work where I work. You know where I work. I don't make that much money. No, no, no. Well, do you... I just want to know, do you want to comment any, you know, on the... I know that you're a big football fan. Do you want to comment on the Jacoby Jones, you know, party bus situation at all, or... Yeah, yeah. It was a party bus or a strip club deal? Or was it a stripper? I don't... I don't know. I'm kind of discussing all the details. Well, I mean, basically, I imagine he got drunk and, you know, a bottle got hit over his forehead. I don't know if it was necessarily, like, something that he planned out, but obviously it's gotten to be big news there, so... Do you think that this hurts the 49ers? I mean, they also have... Or, I guess... Ravens. Ravens, yeah. All right, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. Jake wrote the joke, is the point, but... Yeah, I can't say that I'm surprised. And I gotta agree with Jim Harbaugh comment you said about nothing good ever happens after midnight when you go out. Yeah. And I can attest to that, too. So we'll just leave it at that. A little cliffhanger. That was like Seacrest style. I'm picturing him, like, bandaging his champagne bottle wound on his head right now. I know. I know. Well, Hammer, we appreciate the call. Fred the Hammer Ortiz down in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Orange County. Yeah. Oh, Orange County? Okay. Yeah. Kansas City. Kansas City, Missouri. Now, thanks a lot for calling, Fred, and we look forward to your call soon. Again, in the future. Okay. Will do, buddy. We love you. Love you guys. Big Ocelot fans. I love you, Fred. Fred, you gotta listen to the Ocelot Robot CD, though. I will. I will. And I just gotta give a shout out to my man, Big Jim, out in Santa Fe Springs, also. He's a big listener. He's a listener of the show. He's a frequent listener. Well, thanks a lot, Fred. We'll talk to you soon. Will do. Hey, buddy. Thanks. A lot of times I have my friends calling to say hi. Give us a pat on the back. It's all about me, guys. It's all about me. All right, Snake. I guess we gotta make it a little tighter on the game. Oh, goodness. No, we got time. We got time. We're pretty early on here. Okay. Well, in honor of Ocelot Robot, who has a fun, creative name for the band, we are gonna play the Unique Band Name Game. Yes. All right. I have five questions for you. Five categories. I will give you three choices each. You tell me which one is not a real band. Two of these either are or were real bands. One of them I made up. So you guys have to guess the one that I made up. All right. Question number one. In honor of Ocelot Robot, the category is animals. Which one is not a real band? A, Chickens on Smack. B, Armadillo's Revenge. C, Chocolate Bunnies from Hell. I'm gonna give the floor to Ocelot Robot first. Can I talk to you guys over here for a second? Is this... You know, you gotta watch out. They could be Googling right now. I think we got this one. I think we got it. All right. Go for it, Boogie. The Armadillo one? Armadillo's Revenge is not a real band. Next question. Okay, Justin Cross. What was the last one again? Chocolate Bunnies from Hell. Chocolate... I'll go with Chocolate Bunnies from Hell. And then, do we have a... Do we have Kareem on the line or no? Do we have another call? It's... Hey, Kareem, you on the line? He's not. He's not. Okay. All right. It's fine. All right. So, I'm gonna go Chocolate Bunnies from Hell. Okay. Wait, Jake, what's your guess? Well, I made the question, so... It'd be really embarrassing if you got it wrong, then. Taking a 1-0 lead. Ocelot! Oh! Oh! This isn't our first pony show. I was gonna... You know, I should have known that they knew it, because, like, literally within about five seconds, I was like, we got it. No, we're good. Yes. They opened for Chocolate Bunnies from Hell last week. We just saw them. Oh, really? Most people other than Jake. Ocelot is about them. I told you. It's a metaphor for chocolate. Chickens on smack were a seminal influence. You listen to our early work. All right. Category number two. Seminal fluids. Go ahead. Oh, goodness. All right. Category two is food. Yeah. Which one of these is not a real band? Is it A, Hamster Sandwich? Or B... I hope that's a real band. If not, we're starting out. B, it's about to be. Cheesesteak Heart Attack. C, the Funkin' Donuts. I'm gonna go B. You're gonna go... With Cheesesteak Heart Attack. Yeah, I guess... Ocelot. We call bullshit on Hamster Sandwich. Hamster Sandwich. The game has taken a turn. It is now tied. Just across the... Suck it, bitches. Suck it. Right. All four of you. Hamster Sandwich. Must be nice to be best friends with snakes. Oh, man. All right. We're all tied. Category three. Sexual innuendo. Which one... Which one is... Aren't they all kind of sexual innuendo? Yeah. Pretty much. Hamster Sandwich. Hamster Sandwich again. It's like a rusty trombone. We got shredding beef back there, so yeah. That should be the name of a band. It really should. Which one is not a real band? Is it A, Cherry Cream Pie, B, Hot Semen, Semen spelled S-E-A and the N, or C, Penis to Milo? We're all in third grade here. I know. And it's just, you know, it's a tribute to music. That's a toughie. These are real bands. It's a toughie. Can you repeat the question? Slower and in your deepest voice. I'm sorry. I had a really weird picture in my mind. Okay. A, Cherry Cream Pie. All right, Jake. I'm ready for my answer. Okay. Awesome. Get him. We agreed as a band just now the false band is Cherry Cream Pie. Justin Cross. Ooh. What was A? Cherry Cream Pie. What was B? Hot Semen. What was C? Penis to Milo. I just wanted you to repeat them. I'm going to go with B. Hot Semen. We're going to go Hot Semen. Yeah. Taking a two to one lead is Ocelot Robles. Oh! Hi, old man. Oh, man. We got two more left. We have time for two more. Any other brain busters? Winner gets some Hot Semen. Winner gets a Hot Semen CD. Yeah. The box set. Inside a hamster sandwich. Volume three. Category four, Johnny's. Which one is not a real band? A. A. Johnny Appleseed and the Rotten Cores. B. Johnny Uterus and the Fallopian Tubes. Or C. Johnny McPenis and the Ass Clams. First of all, I think it's pronounced Unitas. I'm going to have to go. I think we're going to go with B. So that we don't have to pronounce C again. Okay. I'll take it, man. I'm going to go A. You're going to go Johnny Appleseed and the Rotten Cores. No, no, no. I'm going to say C. I'm going to say C. I'm going to say C. I'm going to say C. I'm going to say C. I'm going to say C. I'm going to switch it to C. You're going to switch it to Johnny McPenis and the Ass Clams? Sorry, it's too late. There's no time to switch. I'm just kidding. All right. Nobody got a point that round. Oh, it's A. Johnny Appleseed and the Rotten Cores is the only one. That's the one you made up. Martin negated him. So just for the record, I would like to say that I would be honored to meet Johnny McPenis and the Ass Clams. I just, oh my goodness. We're going to have to get them on the show. All right. So, Ocelot, just a little quick recap. Ocelot is up two to one. One question left. You can either tie or they will win. All right. Category five, just labeled, what the fuck? Which one is not a real band? A, gay bikers on acid. B, Rottweilers with roller skates. C, Hitler stole my potato. I'm going to go B. I'm going to go B. By the way, if you guys haven't paid, he's really good at these games. He can pump these games out really quickly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I worked on this for seven hours. It shows. Ocelot? We're going C, Hitler stole my potato. That's our answer. That's made up. You made that up. Hitler stole my potato is a real band. Wow. Yeah. Now, the question is, did Justin Cross tie the game? Yeah. He did, folks. Oh. Arm wrestle. Arm wrestle. That's how we feel. I'm down, but I'm not out, guys. The game ends in a tie, but there are more of you than there are of him, so you, by default, are the winners. Oh. Oh. That's a lot of fun, everybody. I can tell you, we definitely are. Well, not me, but everyone else is really old, so we're definitely older. So, we got that. No, no, no. I mean. I'm just kidding. Easy joke. We got real silent on that one. When you're picking bands like Hitler and the Hot Toad or whatever the fuck it was. Hey, Hot Seaman's a great band. All right. They've got it. I don't know what it is. Are any of those bands, like, have they, are any of them, like, have they made it on the chart? I mean, are any of them? I'm incredibly doubtful. No. I'm actually surprised, Nate, that you didn't choose B on that one, because animals doing human things. You know. Rottweiler and roller skates. That's true. I thought I heard of them, though, you know. You might have. Yeah. They sounded familiar. In your research. Well, we are, that was a fun game, Snake. I don't know what we call that game, but we'll make up a good name for that one. That was pretty good. That's a great game. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah, we'll do that again. That was good. All right. Well, coming up next, we've got the Ring of Fire here in Sarcastic News Live. You can tweet us if you want to join the conversation, Sarcastic News 1. What's that symbol, Mindy? What does that mean? What does that mean? That means let me know when you want me to hit the Ring of Fire. Oh, yeah. No, no. We're going to go to break, then we'll be right back. We'll do it. Yeah. Is the break going to be some live music, or is it going to be? Good question. We'll do one more new song from Ocelot, and then we'll get them live after that. I'm excited to hear them live. Okay. I am, too. Although I'm bummed that the drummer and the bass player aren't going to be. Oh, they'll be dancing. We're going to be doing something. Okay. They're going to be fisting in the corner. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. Standing very widely. That's right. That's right. Well, we will be right back here on Sarcastic News Live.

is as we learned about chocolate so I enjoyed the the music video that you guys did of that tell me a little bit about that I know we're gonna talk a little bit more later but I want to know a little bit about the the music video because it's like you guys in a car basically going did you just go around like your favorite parts of LA or exactly yeah yeah we went by all of our favorite spots all like the bar we went by we loved lots of Easter eggs I think we call it in the video gaming world Easter eggs what does that mean nerd alert nerd test yeah Sports Harbor's in there somewhere and actually Sports Harbor is the bar that we had the idea we're sitting around the table drinking beer and Mark had this idea about what if we made a video we all drive around with our head out the window we said that's the worst idea I've ever heard in my life let me tell you how that conversation went and here we are talking about it on the radio so yeah it was Mark's idea and it was a fun day man we just spent the day driving around LA Joe better than me what's that go ahead snakes I was wondering why you guys kept driving by my house one of our favorite places one of our favorite spots video cameras and everything they're just oh yeah they're doing a music video yeah no they're just they're just stalking him well I where are you guys performing tomorrow tomorrow's at Molly Malone's

9.30 playing with our good buddy Harrison Kane who's opening the show don't miss him and we got some tricks up our sleeves Justin we're doing some shit here alright I want yeah I want your I hope the show is like I haven't seen you guys perform live but I want the show to be like a blink 182 you know have you ever seen their live performance it's like them riding around lighting each other on fire we're just like them with more guitar players and more clothes on more partner that's like a really good answer to that they play in carcass thanks so you guys have dignity okay I hear ya I don't know if you call them more guitar players what little ones have you left well we oh Mindy did Mindy leave okay now we've got to find cause we've got our ring of fire now our ring of fire the way it works it's actually like our most serious part of the show so if you guys want to you know throw in on that it's we basically like to talk a little bit about about what's going on in the world and I don't know is Mindy Mindy no she's gone she stole your beer and she's gone she's gonna go shred some beef um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um that joke's never getting old that's fine I'm using it tonight she's back oh you're back Mindy you got the ring of fire queued up you ready there we go love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring that's it yeah we just keep playing the whole time it's bound by wild desire actually we're gonna wrap there we go do we have do we have Kareem on the line or no Kareem you here yeah hey you got it what happened he does exist you had trouble calling in huh I got through you got through you got through the tons of callers robot hey man what's going on not much chillin I told I told him they call you the dream because you fall asleep during our shows haha that's true yeah that's why he wasn't calling in earlier yeah did Justin do the joke about the ring of fire going on the whole time or no hey hey hey I these are I never do the same jokes Kareem okay I never don't tell them my secrets well done Kareem now I I wanna get in I was telling these guys it's a little more serious but feel free to jump in guys we like to talk a little bit more about the kind of like a round table if you will and one of the topics we were talking about was Iran they've got a new president and they're talking about and it sounds like that he may be a little bit more well obviously more serious than Ahmadinejad however bless you a lot of I'm a gem jot but you know we're going around the world like Israel is very unhappy about this about the US entertaining talks with Iran I wanna know from you know the panel here Kareem let's go and start with you Kareem is this a step towards world peace in a way can old alliances be sacrificed or altered in order to facilitate that I mean the thing is we have a great alliance right with Israel right but if we start to talk to Iran in order to mend some fences it's gonna piss them off so is it worth it is it worth it to go ahead and maybe I don't say wreck a relationship there but you know talk to the talk to the other side I guess yeah I mean I think that I don't know when we got to the point as a you know a country a society a culture overall when we someone you know working with them when it comes to other issues over there in the Middle East you know like that's obviously not a typical ally of ours in a lot of ways but we're you know we're working with them I want to throw it out to the whole panel here but also Jake the Snake Kareem you got any thoughts on this yeah I mean I don't have too much more to add I agree I think if we talk to them and it leads to peace then that's Israel and other people who might not like that we'll see that and we'll see our intentions for it and that's probably a good thing you know rather than just being too standoffish and not talking to them we definitely should if it's going to lead to peace yeah yeah well and this is another topic that we were talking about I was thinking about earlier though so I don't know if you guys heard about the new pope right the new pope is now open towards women's roles in the church abortion rights homosexuality like completely turning the Catholic church on its head so to speak right however I guess I mean what do you guys think about that do you think that I mean is it I don't know if any of you are Catholic or what you think about this but how much relevance does it have nowadays you know I think it's happening in everything it's happening everywhere in music everything's being turned on its ear because everything's moving so fast so it's actually not that surprising I think we expect this kind of extreme change everywhere I mean look at music I mean in six months things change completely right and that's what's really cool about it so I don't I'm not ingrained in that world but I imagine it's kind of exciting I mean these are pretty obvious human you know basic things that it's probably pretty cool to have that stuff introduced into your world if they can't evolve then they can't survive I think you know like that's just the world we live in right exactly exactly I mean if nothing else it's a basis for survival it almost seems I mean that's again we're talking about Iran it's almost the same exact thing right you want to be relevant in the world you can't sit there and alienate people as much as they've done my question too for you guys is entertainers as musicians in the entertainment world do you feel like that entertainment can really make kind of a real impact in society as far as changing opening minds and all that kind of stuff or what do you think about that yeah it certainly can I mean if you look at the history of singer songwriters for instance you know like Dylan yeah baby I mean Bob Dylan Simon and Garfunkel a lot of people in those times they were making more political music than people are doing now but you know what was that band Green Bawamba yeah who said that cause people that was Jake the Snake people were against thumping thubs or thumping thumping tubs for a long time and now it's commonplace reminds me a lot of our new song called Black Miniskirt actually it's a great track there's a metaphor in there somewhere I was gonna ask you guys chocolate did any of you guys get into music because of like that sort of you know I know I think musicians tend to be more on the liberal side or entertainers comedians and everything but did you guys get in the that world at all or to like say something or kind of make any sort of change at all or even down the road do you feel like that's it's you know you garner a platform and then you have something to say or what do you think about that or did you just go in there to fuck bitches I think we as a band kind of got together for the purpose of having fun and I think if we can have fun then that fun will translate to other people and if we can have a good time and have other people have a good time around us then then that means the world to us yeah it's it's definitely an escape and you don't realize how much you need an escape until you get there until you get to that place and then you have to go back and then you realize I want to get back to that place so that's why I pursued it that's what we found in this band we have a blast I mean we've played shows in front of five people and we're having so much fun up there it's like you know at some point it's your night it's my Friday night you know and if somebody doesn't want to dance and they want to sit in the back of the room that's their choice but we have a blast we have an absolute blast and it's the same when we play shows for as much as ten people we're still just having a blast and I want to kind of we talked a little bit about the football player but I want to ask I want to start Kareem with you on this one because Kareem played he played college basketball at Princeton and I want to ask you about this you heard about Jacoby Jones and the whole you know beer bottle incident with the stripper what I want to know is Kareem do you feel like that athletes you know this was like this whole Michael Jordan Charles Barkley thing from a long time like are athletes or entertainers or people like again people with a platform are they actually role models or where do you feel like that they have a responsibility to kids or the public at all when it comes to this kind of stuff I think they do because you know it's a complicated question I think because that is thank you to me one of the issues with society is just like celebrity worship and like the kind of looking up to celebrity but because that is the way it is I think they should probably keep that in the back of their mind before they go and break a bottle on whoever's head I actually didn't even hear the story to be honest but sounds pretty brutal a stripper hit Jacoby Jones over the head with a champagne bottle at 3am on a party bus well I mean here's the thing I think you're talking about like a 24 year old guy or 27 year old guy whatever who like with like millions of dollars I mean it's just funny how different forums are looked at in different ways like entertainment and like rock and roll be like yeah you know like fuck yeah you know that's a Thursday in Montlake what did he do Mark wants justice what did he do we don't know what he did but the stripper didn't like it but he's not under like fire I didn't see the story is he like under fire for that no not really he's just kind of like see that's the thing like it was I don't know that was kind of the weird thing about it was that like it was a story but it was only a story because of what happened it wasn't like oh he got arrested for like battery or anything like that it was just like it was like oh yeah that's kind of entertaining for five minutes you know and clearly we're running with it so I think if it was the off season it wouldn't be a story I mean it's it's like when Romo goes to Mexico during the playoffs I mean he's working you know he only has to work nine months a year yeah well it depends on what the summer yeah or what teams he played for maybe seven months a year the Ravens are good if he played for the Jaguars that would be different but that's my home team I'm sorry oh yeah man let me tell you I want to ask this real quick Kareem I got you on the line for a couple more for another couple minutes here you know you actually you and I were talking about this a little earlier you know with the Pope in the view of the church you know they're teaching you know and the apparent change we talked about the apparent change with the new Iranian president which one do you think is more impactful is it the Pope opening up you know opening up the Catholic churches and stuff or is it Iran and then you know their presence sort of evolving and acknowledging that there was a Holocaust yeah that's a step in the right direction I would say for Iran but I think the Pope is probably is going to have more impact now because it's something that we've spoken about before it's like somewhere along the line we've kind of lost this idea of common sense right and it seems like the Pope is a proponent of common sense so I think his kind of ideas about reform and how you kind of accept everyone and everyone has you know an issue whether religious or you know whatever your issue is with God and it's not the place of the church to kind of deem one person worthy another person unworthy and he kind of has figured that out I mean not figured it out but he's kind of that's the role you know that's the role he wants the church to take from now on yeah I mean you make a great point I see any sign of I mean whether it's I'm not Catholic I'm not religious but I like the idea that somebody with that kind of power is perpetuating ideas of open mindedness I agree I think I think that's important now we Jake the Snake do you want anything to add to that or no that was that was a good recap yeah well Kareem we appreciate you staying online with us and hopefully the traffic won't be that bad and I can pick you up next time yeah alright no worries man thanks again nice to meet you Kareem later Kareem yeah thanks a lot hey come to come to Molly Malone's tomorrow man yeah see you tomorrow alright for sure I'll buy you a beer Mark Matnanski alright am I paying to get in his tab's open yeah no sarcastic next question sarcastic news we'll flip

Oh! That was awesome! That was awesome! You did it! Thanks, Nate. The best was... You guys were awesome. And I can tell, this dude is... He's kind of the quiet one in the group. He's just real nice. Mark's over there playing air guitar on his inner quad. Like, he's just like... I've never seen a guy play guitar on his groin muscle before. That was... I got yen thrown at me. Can I have my six dollars back? I think Mark got hit in the forehead with a beer bottle at the end there. But what did he do? Oh, man. Answer me! We just... We hit a speed bump on the party bus radio. Oh, man. Good job, guys. That was awesome. Ocelot Robot. You guys are playing at Molly Malone's Tomorrow Night. And that song was called Lately. That was... Honestly, that's probably my favorite song so far. I thought... Track three on the new record, man. Track three on the new record. And the new record is called again... Otheldo. It comes out tomorrow. Okay, and Otheldo is... What is that about? It's a state of mind, really, if you think about it. I like that. That's new. I like that. So, we actually all moved into a house together. We moved into a house together. We moved into a house together. We moved into a house about a year and a half ago on Otheldo Street and lived together for a year and wrote this record. It's Otheldo Avenue, but... That's like actually... Shut up, Greg. Jake and I are from Jacksonville and Yellow Card. The band Yellow Card is from Jacksonville. And they have their big song Ocean Avenue. But it's actually Ocean Street. It's Ocean Street, yeah. It just doesn't sound as good. It's called Poetic License. Yeah. No, I do the same thing with every joke. It's not the real name of the street? No. It's kind of disappointing. I think Mark is about to cry right now. And so, folks can catch you tomorrow night, Molly Malone's, 8 o'clock. And I'm going to get down there. I'm going to try to get down there. Please come. Seriously. We're going to have so much fun. The show is going to be loud and just high energy. We're going to have a really great time. Okay, who's the most... Because I feel like all of you guys have like really... Like you guys are... Like I want you guys in here almost every week because it's like I get good... You know, I get good vibes from you all. But so, who's like the craziest on stage though? That's what I want to know. It depends on how you're made. It depends on how you're made. You're measuring it. Yeah, if you measure it by... By sweat. By sweat. By the way, these headphones are ruined. By the way, how do you measure sweat? Do you just have a bucket sitting underneath you? Or how many shirts you wear? I weigh myself before the show. And then I weigh myself afterwards. Nate goes through three t-shirt changes during the set. I'm like Cher. Oh, yeah. Except sweatier. And are you guys all from Los Angeles? Or no? Negative. No, we're all over. None of us. Yeah. Really? How did you meet again? How did y'all meet? Well, we were in the elevator earlier on the way out. You guys want to start a band? There's a radio show we can promote our shit on. They were going to call themselves Hamster Sandwich when it was taken. It was taken. Unfortunately. Too bad. Poetic license right there. Oh, and Mindy, we would promote your show, but your show is the same night, tomorrow night too, right? Oh, man. Yeah. But we could promote my hamster, Dizzy. Oh, yeah. You were talking about hamsters. I have a hamster that is like the love of my life right now. It's like a Syrian hamster, right? It's like- Syrian. She's endangered. Yeah. I have an endangered species in my apartment. Wow. That's pretty cool. Is she wild in your apartment or is she in like a cage? No, she's in a cage, but I let her go out in her ball quite frequently. She has fun. I love it when you talk dirty. She lives a good life. Does she have a tiny leash? You just fuck her around. You just like walk her outside. So, tell us a little bit about the new CD and what went into that. You said three years in the making. I mean- Yeah. We put out a record in 2010. We went on tour and we've been playing ever since and writing. We have this game we like to play called the song title game, which is actually a pretty crappy name now that I think about it. It's very similar to that game. Your game's better, Jake. Well, we just sit around and drink Budweiser and come up with song titles. And we take like five minutes and come up with as many as we can. And then we read them out. And then make fun of each other. And then make fun of each other. Always making fun of each other. It hasn't yielded any titles yet for any of the songs. It's a bonding experience. Do you guys have a song from this album that is like a particular favorite for you or something that stands out as a special one? We probably all have different favorites. I think so, yeah. My favorite's the last song, but that's called Perfect Failure. And I just, I don't know, man. It just speaks to me. Greg, what do you think? Yeah, what's your favorite, man? You with the beard. We haven't grilled you yet on that. Probably Black Maniskirt, because I get to hit the drums a lot. Really? A lot. That's a lot. That's a lot of, although Kenneth's good for that too, except it's only two minutes long, so. Yeah, I like Kenneth too. It's about, it's about my hair, actually. That's actually a true story. Yeah, true story. Yeah, we wrote about my hair. Really? Yeah, that's a true story. Did you guys have a blonde spot in the back of his head? Really? Yeah, weird birthmark. I got rid of it. Named it Kenny. I'm just kidding. Named it Kenny? We just dubbed it Kenny. We're in a recession. It's tough out there. Do you guys all, because you guys all get along really well. Have you always, I mean, you all lived in a house together. I feel like this never happened. I hate Jake. Before and after the show, we don't talk. I don't even speak outside of the show. No. But you guys seem like you actually really get along and like each other. Yeah, I mean, we were sort of all friends before we started playing music, so we just kind of looked at each other and said, well, I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. and like rough patches, you know? Like Mark comes to you and he's like, you know, you know, fricking Nate, he's a dick. You know, I... Wait, what? What have you been saying, Mark? No, no, no. Can I have my $3 back? Well, in that scenario, Nate and Mark would go to Sports Harbor and they just kind of... Sports Harbor is kind of, yeah, therapy. Talk it out over some... Settle it over some pop-a-shot. Pop-a-shot. Don't you dare bring that up. Still bitter. A couple other quick things before we get out of here. What, how long have you guys been together for? Total, now. We've been dating for about... I'm just kidding. Go on, step. You need to get serious. Four years? Yeah. Four years. What day is it? What's today? Yeah, four years. March. 2009. So what should we expect? So you guys are playing Molly Malone's and what else? Are you guys going to do a little mini tour? Are we going to see you guys playing some other spots around town and here in LA? Lots of stuff going on this fall. We actually throw our own film festival. So November 9th, we're putting on the third annual Ocelot Robot Film Festival. Oh, yeah. It's pretty rad. Justin, you got to come. It's amazing. What does that entail? It's two categories we give out awards in. Short films and music videos. Okay. And we get submissions from all over the world and we sit down and drink beer and pick the best ones, which is the best part. That's awesome. We perform. We have other great LA bands perform. We've had people fly across the country for it and we give out an award and if there's a tie, we settle it with an arm wrestle. Yeah. That's the... Entire premise of the film festival. I get why you guys do the arm wrestle when we tie it everywhere. That's how we settle things. Not many rules because rules suck. Yeah, rules are kind of... They're kind of a bummer. But that's going on and lots of new music. I mean, this record is really the tip of the iceberg. We've been working on it for a long time. We have a lot of other new songs. We're going to probably have something else out pretty soon. That's awesome. That's awesome. We're excited. Do we have... We're running very short on time here. We got to go a little late here, but do we have any more live in-studio songs or are we going to play them out here with another one here? On your MP3, Snake? Or do we have... What do we have here? Another game, maybe, Jake? Or if we don't have anything, that's okay, too. We're all right there. We, uh, let's... Yeah, we're right there. Or we could talk about snakes. Ooh. Do we have anything, Snake, or no? Okay, we got it. That's okay. That's okay. Okay, any last thing? Where can we guys... Where can we catch you on the web, on Twitter, all that kind of stuff? If you Google Ocelot Robot, we are all you're going to find. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it. Through to page 20 or something. That's right. So just Google Ocelot Robot and you'll be in good shape there. Yeah, YouTube's a good place to start. We have a lot of fun making music videos and so a lot of our songs are represented there. That's awesome. Well, I think we're about ready to wrap it up here, but guys, catch them. Catch them if you're in L.A. Catch them tomorrow. Molly Malone's 8 to 9 p.m. tomorrow. And also their new album entitled...
