Chatti Chatti People I said you chatti too much Watchi watchi people I said you watchi too much Every day you get up All you do is walk Every day you get up All you do is chatti Chatti All you do is walk All right. Dag, it's the Hot Box. Hot Box. So I, as always, missed you. I missed you too. I missed all of our happy listeners here at the Hot Box. Happy Tuesday at nine. Yes. Happy, happy Tuesday. And I'm just so... So glad to be back in the Hot Box, just like always. It's always a treat. I know. Tuesdays are like my Fridays, even though I have to work continuously for like another four more days. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Tuesdays, I work tomorrow and I still have to work Saturday. So yeah, I still work like the rest of the week. I just had my weekend, you know? So like Tuesdays, it's like my little extra weekend, like a mini weekend. Like a little fun night. Yeah. It's a little fun night. Exactly. It's Mary's little tiny fucking fun night. Something to make... The Tuesday workday go by faster. It's true because Monday is always... I mean, everybody thinks that Monday is like a bunch of big bullshit, but like... Yeah, man. Monday made me cry. You know what? Monday made me cry too, I think. I think I cried at least once or almost cried. I think I had a... No, I had a temper tantrum actually on Monday. Yeah. I didn't have my weed on yet. I didn't have my weed dick out. Oh, man. Yeah. When that weed dick's not out, man, sometimes, I gotta tell you, sometimes, you don't want to step... To me. So how was your weekend? I mean, you worked, right? Friday, I went to the Redwood. Nice. Got drunk to drown my sorrows, which I don't have a lot of sorrows, but Friday, I had a little bit of sorrows, so I did that. I think Saturday was cool. Oh, yeah, I worked and then I walked. All right. For like seven miles. Damn, digga. I know. I left work early and I went to a music store to buy my boyfriend a musical birthday or Christmas... Christmas present. How cool. What'd you get him? A kazoo? What if he's... Oh, yeah. No, sorry. I forgot. It's wrapped. I wrapped it in leftover magazine paper. That's what I always do. I use like old magazines and old newspapers to wrap gifts in because nobody... I don't know. Unless you're like Martha Stewart or some shit or some Pinterest addicted chick, like you don't care about the like ripping wrapping paper off a gift. That's the fun of it. Yeah. So I'm not gonna like go out of my way to get like expensive ass gift wrap and then, I mean, it's just newspapers are out there too. Yeah. Recycle. It's reduce, reuse, recycle. So you're supposed to reuse. And you can even try to like... Like I do like... I get that... I'll like get a bunch of LA Expresses and wrap them in those because like the classified ads are really funny. Like SWF seeks SWB for... I don't know. DP. For DP and a BJ. Yeah. Well, I hear, as you may have noticed, that there is a missing soul in the studio. Yeah. Yeah. We are... It's Cassie and it is with a heavy heart that we don't have her here. We miss her. Cassie, if you're listening, I hope that you're cozy. It's freezing outside and a palm frond like blew on top of my car because it's that windy out. But give us a call. Yeah. Oh, wait. I'm gonna read the number now. Yeah, do it. It's tradition. As tradition. 800-893-9562. Give us a call. You're listening in. We got... A lot of cool stuff for you tonight. Tonight is special. Tonight is special. It's special because we have two guys in a band called Quee that are in the studio ready to come and ram out, jam out all their jams and shit. Ram them out. They're gonna ram them. They're gonna do a clam jam. So they're here and also Friday is allegedly, allegedly, the day that you find out who you talk to may or may not be the apocalypse. Oh, wow. Possible apocalypse. Yeah. Apocalypse. Epocali. So it's because it's 12-21-12. That's why? Well, Mayan calendar ended. People freaking out about that. Oh, so the Mayan calendar ceased to be after 12-21-12 last time? Yeah. And then the sun, of course, it's the solstice. So it was like lined up on the most northern part. of the earth, which happens to be at that time of year in direct alignment with Sagittarius, aka where the black hole of the universe is. And this thing called the dark rift will be floating between the two. A lot of science stuff has people freaked out. Also, people are worried about magnetic pole shift. Oh, Jesus Christ. Now I have another thing to be worried about. Which is something that happens and someday all the compasses are gonna start pointing south and no one's gonna know what's going on. Holy shit. So we got that cracking off. And then the Mayan calendar one time was over on December 21st of 2012. And so now we... I think this stuff will happen whenever, but I have to interrupt this really quick because someone special is on the line. All right. Let's hear it. Hello. Call her. Hello. Hello. Hello. Who is this? Who's this? This is Mindy. Who's this? This is Cassie. Cassie. Cassie. Aww. Baby girl. Hi, guys. How are you? I hear the cold. I have a cold. I'm sick. But I'm fine. How are you guys? Are you at least blazing or are you too sneezy to be blazing? Girl, I'm still blazing. Good. I would be too, dude. Like, I fucking... Yeah. Make it go away. Yeah, make all of your sorrows go away. Just blaze that... Blaze those germs right out of you. Yeah, that's better. Watching some 1990s Saturday Night Live right now. Oh. Very nice. Yeah, it's pretty exciting. How are you guys? I hear you guys are talking about the world ending. I was just talking about that with my roommate. I'm always scared. Well, what do you think is going to happen? I mean, like, what do you... Yellowstone could explode. Yeah, like, my thing is is I'm like, are there just going to be like crazy big sinkholes like on the ground? Like, where like the ground just starts caving in places? Because I mean... And people say that Yellowstone's going to explode. Is that a thing? Well, Yellowstone's a giant volcano that has exploded like many times throughout history, but it's actually under the plate. So it's exploded in different places because it's the same place as far as like the lower areas of the Earth. It's like a chamber, but then the Earth's crust has been moving over it. And so sometime in some future moment, that's probably going to erupt. Another thing I think is... No one can prove that it's this Friday. Yeah, nobody can prove it, but I think it is making a lot of people think. And I wonder if there's like... I wonder if like romance is like peaking right now because everybody's like spend the last day on Earth with me on Friday. I know quite a few weddings that have been going down. Yeah, I read about that too. Like there's like a series of like apocalypse weddings that are cracking off. I was just thinking about that because I'm going to be in Seattle and I'm going to be far away from my sweetheart. And that was actually something that I was thinking about. Oh, man. And I'm far away from my family. Yeah. I really... There's so many horrible things that could happen. Well, you're a deep thinker. A gamma ray burst. A supernova is traveling our way and we're all going to radiate. Our skin is going to boil off. Dude, whatever happens, I'm going to tell you right now, I'm stoked that if I get to die in the apocalypse and civilization ever comes back and like historically finds any trace of me, any trace of anything having to do with us, like, I don't know. I mean, it'd be kind of cool, but then it also seems like it probably, no, it would be completely, I think it would be, everything would be wiped away and they would not know anything about the human race except for like whatever's left behind. Do you guys want to hear a pretty crazy story? Yes. I do. Okay. This has to do with the end of the world. Since I work at a record label, we were recently trying to find a plant that could press a record that would play like the longest amount per side, which led us to, I can't say who told this story because it's top secret and he wouldn't discuss it over email. He was too afraid. And so this was passed down to me. Okay. So he called, they're talking on the phone. Apparently there are these record plants that can press these extremely long playing records, but the catch is, this is a long, I'm giving you guys a bridge version right now. They're owned by Scientologists. Oh. Okay. Okay, yeah. No, I need more. Here's what's going down. Basically, they are recording hours and hours and hours and hours of L. Ron Hubbard speeches and they're pressing them on these like, copper LPs that play really, really, really long, but they're made out of pure copper. Fuck. And they are burying, they are buying land all over the world and they are burying these like, big industrial record players that are solar powered and these L. Ron Hubbard speeches pressed on copper records in these big orbs underground so that when the world ends, people can decide to discover the teachings of L. Ron Hubbard. I feel like lightning just touched the tip of my tet-tets right now. That gives me like, the creeps. Once society rebuilds from our drastic collapse. They'll excavate all of these. Like that literally, like right now, Cassie, you can't see it, but my lovely skin is crawling right now because of that. I know. That like, it makes me like, just be like, what else, man? I hate that. Solar storm. I love you, Cassie. I wish you were here. I don't think like, BS is around. So I took it very, I mean, I love this kind of stuff anyway. I like that kind of shit too. I'm very susceptible to it, but. Yeah. I mean, come on. That's pretty creepy. And awesome. Guess what I just did? Dude, I was once in a band called L. Ron's Cupboard. Oh yeah. Oh my God. We were epic. Oh yeah, you were. But we had to change our name because we were scared of the man. Yeah, totally. So that's when you guys became Azteca's Frame, right? Or Azteca Frame? Yeah. That's why we went to Azteca Frame because they didn't think L. Ron's Cupboard was serious. And we were probably gonna get hate letters if we went anywhere. Yeah, that's true. Like sometimes funny names for bands are funny, but like I remember seeing in like LA Weekly, cause I still read the back of LA Weeklys, even though it's kind of a joke. Like sometimes, you know, you can see the tours and stuff, but I saw Cummy Porcupine Babies was playing at the whiskey. Cummy? Cummy Porcupine Babies. Yeah. Well, speaking of bands, let's take this time to bring in Kwee so that we can find out their view on this post-apocalyptic world we're about to enter. Yeah, it's time to find out some shit and bring on the boys of Kwee. All right, are you guys ready? Cause this here is Kwee. I'm so excited, I wish I could see them. Love you, honey. I miss you. I hope you feel better. No. Welcome. Hi guys. Hi. Sorry, that was our beginning rant. That was Cassie. Yeah, we always do the beginning rant. Dude, that made me, that gave me the creeps that she said about. I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't be fucking surprised either. They're weird. No, Scientology, yeah. They're weird and what's weird is that I have a friend who was Scientologist for a while and then he stopped because he was like, they wanted me to regress like past fantasy and into other lives. He's like, that's not anything I'm interested in trying. I was like, dude, what are you trying to do? Just a weird thought. And so I was like, how deep did you get into it? And he was like, he's like, I don't know. My whole life changed. He's like every single thing in my life changed. And I was just like, yeah. Oh wait, what part are we at? Which one is this? Apartment? Yeah, when it's. Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo Megan.

I get sick sometimes but I have a pretty tough immune system yeah me too I try to give it all the fruits and veggies at once get those nutrients in there totally yeah, all the fruit and veg that's probably why, I think why I don't get sick is because I drink so much that maybe it's preserved my organs like in formaldehyde almost nothing's getting in here because I never even have a cold that sounds fail safe that works really well for a while yeah for a while and then it starts deteriorating and you're shitting your pants and then your liver gets really sad yeah no I don't I'm not shitting that much I'm half kidding just deflates so yeah so you guys have a show coming up that's true yeah you guys want to tell us the fucking scoop?

Oh, yeah. Let's get back. Well, you missed it. You missed your chance. You missed your chance, and you gobbled its balls, man. Let's move on. Let's move on. I don't have time. No, but let's hear it. What about the show? Because I actually want to go. I'm trying to get Mindy and Cassie to come with me. We're playing at the Echo on December 28th. The regular Echo. The regular, the upstairs Echo. And the 28th is a Thursday? 28th is a Friday. Friday, okay. It's a Friday. I'm free on Fridays. It's our first... It's the first show we've played. It will be the first show that we've played in like over four years. Exciting. Okay, cool. Dude, I'm stoked about this. Yeah, yeah. We're stoked, too. Do you guys know who else is playing, or is it... Well, it's... Yeah. Yeah, but it doesn't really matter, because as long as you guys are there. You can go, and I can go. We're both free. And Cassie, are you free Friday? Oh, if you feel better. I'm going to be in Seattle, bro. Oh, yeah. Damn, Dago. Yeah, I don't know if you have any Seattle homies, but Seattle is a popular listening audience for us. Yeah, we do. Seattle, the city? Yeah, we got a lot of Seattle listeners. Yeah. We get some Seattle callers, too. Yeah, some Seattleites. Well, the other band that's playing with us at the Echo, one of the other bands is from Tacoma. Cool. Oh, cool. So, you know, it's pretty much the same thing. You know their name? Yeah, they're called Lozen. L-O-Z-E-N. That's it exactly. And then the other group is called Tacos. Yeah. I don't know so much about them. I guess it's a dude who used to be in another band that we used to know a long time ago or something. Well... Damn, because you know what? If I just read the flyer, I'd be like, there's Tacos. I mean, you know, come for the Tacos, stay for the band. Yeah, that brings me there. Yeah, come for Tacos. I wonder if anybody ever comes up to them and they're like, I was told there'd be Tacos at this event. What is this jackassery? You remember that there was a skate punk band a long time ago called Free Beer, and it was always pretty hilarious when they had flyers. Yeah. I fell for it once before. I always thought it'd be fun to have a band called the Hot Lesbians, but have it be a bunch of really big, ugly, hairy dudes that fucking shred. Oh, man, if I was a dude, I'd play in that band. So would I. As a chick, I don't want to. So would I. Yeah, the Hot Lesbians. And just have it be like, you're the ugliest, scuzziest dudes, you look like you stink, and you fucking rock. You have to stink. That's part of being a rock star. Best believe you're going to stink. That's exactly true. Especially if you're a fat one. I stink. I do. Cassie, you always smell like roses. Yeah, Cassie, you are like a mythical creature that emits strawberry mist whenever you walk. All right. No, I'm always stinking in the hot box because it's always so sweaty in here. It is. It's warm. We have to have the air conditioning off because it's too loud for the microphones. That was part of my agreement to come on the program here was no AC. Yeah. Yeah. It makes my voice sound strange. Yeah. It's on your rider. You're like, no AC, no direct eye contact. Yeah. No one's been looking at me. That's why I had to call in because I couldn't bear to not look you in the eye. I know. Cassie does have a thousand yard stare. That's for sure. I have an intense gaze. It's good we didn't meet. Turning bitches to stone. It'd be a staring contest. Yeah. So I know you guys have a new album coming out. Is it going to be out for this show or when is it released? Um, tentatively going to be released in March next year. Um, it's going to drop. Yeah. It's going to drop. Yeah. 2013. Um, bitches. Yeah. Yeah. And, uh, yeah, we're hoping for March. Okay. Cool. We are going to play material from the new record. Oh, for sure. At the, at the, at the shows. Yeah. So you'll all have that to look forward to. Oh, I'm excited. Sneak peek. Go there. Mm-hmm. That sounds, see, that sounds like a good time to me. Yeah. And I hear it was like a pretty cool recording process. They got to work with some people that we really admire. Yeah, that's very true. Yeah. Yeah. We, we got to work with, uh, a producing team called Deaf Nephews, uh, Toshi Kasai and Dale Crover of the Melvins. Cool. And, uh. Very cool. Yeah, it was a splendid time. Yeah, it was really, really, really cool. I smoked a joint with Dale Crover once. You did? She did. I smoked a joint with Dale Crover one time. It was a. Most amazing experience of my life. Prove it. That's so badass. Let's go on. Prove it. Let's go on. My friend was selling. Go on right now. My friend was selling weed to a band that was opening for Melvins. And so we got to go to sell this guy weed. And then Crover heard that we had weed. He smelled it. And approached us and was like, yo, you guys got some weed? And so we rolled a joint and we smoked. He didn't say anything to us. He was too cool, but he still smoked with us. And we went on with his life. Cassie, you always had the most amazing adventures. Do you think he was cool or do you think he was shy being within your beauty radius? Yeah. Did you ever think about that? He didn't care about me at all. I wish he did. I thought he was so cool. Aw. I'm sorry, Mindy. He's Cassie. He was an ice guy, I guess. But he doesn't have much to say. He was the coolest dude on the planet. He's really, really nice. Yeah. That's cool. Yeah, he smoked a joint with Cassie. With Cassie. Yeah. Yeah. That's exciting. With baby Cassie. So. How long did it take to record? Yeah. What was the environment like? We went to a studio in North Hollywood called Entourage for three days and did almost everything. And then we did the rest of it over about six weeks at Toshi, the engineer's home studio. Okay. Yeah, for overdubs and vocals and whatnot. Yeah. And different percussion. Little toy. Lots of toy percussion on the record. That's really, really cool. That's cool. I love percussion toys. It features probably 80% more than our last record. That's cool. Yeah, we got spoons. We got a washboard. You do? Yes. We got a bicycle ringer. Washboard, dude. We got. Casio. We got plenty of Casio. It's the first record that we've done that has any bass on it, too. Really? Yep. Some bass guitar. Portamento. Portamento. Fucking sweet. Oh, man. On my first studio recorded record, I insisted on bringing and playing this thing called a thunder drum, and it didn't fit into any of our punk rock songs. You know what? You shake it, and it has that little thing. Those things are cool. Yeah, so then our second album, the bassist wanted to put distortion on his bass. I was like, no, it sounds so much better. I hate distorted bass. We need a clear tone, blah, blah, blah. He's like, please, just let me have my thunder drum. Oh. You guys will always have your thunder drums. Oh, man. Wait, did you let him? That's so epic. I let it in. I let him have the distortion. It's there on the CD. I love you, Mindy. See, because you're a team player. You're nothing if not a diplomat. I didn't think that. You got to have the fuzz bass. You got to have that fuzz bass. Why do you get it? Sometimes, sometimes. Sometimes. I like the open tone. I don't think we have any fuzz bass on the record. None. It really depends on the band and the song. Who does the bass on your recording? I do. You do? Me. Nice. And you also do some guitar? I play guitar. Mainly, I play guitar. Like when you're live, you play guitar? The songs with bass on them, I play bass. There's no guitar. Oh, okay. It's lead bass. Yeah. Oh, okay. For sure. Lead bass. I really appreciate that. The lead and rhythm bass, too. Nice. That's really cool. It's going to be a good show. Yeah, I hope so. We're really excited. Well, yeah, with that much bass. I mean. How do you have a bad show? Are you guys going to play the spoons at the show in real life? Say what now? What's up with the spoons? How do the spoons get incorporated into your live performance with just the two of you? Well, we've stopped using drums on most of the songs and guitar on a lot of them so we can focus mostly on the spoons. That's good. Yeah, you know that song Spoon Man by Soundgarden? Yeah. It's like that. It's just like that. Yeah, it's exactly like that. It's like. It's like. I'm careful. I'm just going to swing my trip. I'll be there. No, no, not musically, but just thematically. You know, it's just about. Thematically. It's just about spoons. Okay. The song is about spoons and that's what our music is like, but the music doesn't sound like that. Yeah, totally. The music is about spoons. It's about spoons. Yeah. Played with lots of spoons. Spooning. On stage spooning. Is there on stage spooning? No, but we've spooned. Yeah. Matt and I have spooned. Yeah. You spoon your homies. You spoon your bandmates. I feel that, yeah, any band that we're together, there's probably been some inter-band spooning going on. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Correct me if I'm wrong. Just to save on, you know, central heating and stuff. And sometimes we'll just like take our shirts off and kiss. Good. I like that. That's big business for me. Yeah. Go right to the chase. Just get in there. Get in there and get it going. Yeah. When Matt asks for a back rub, I know what he's really asking for. Yeah. A front rub. Front rub. Front rub. Oh, man. Like, I can hear the colors. I feel uncomfortable. That's what the, it always starts that way with the back rub, but then. I feel uncomfortable. We loosen up. Yeah. We need to get those knots out. Yeah, really. Get them right in. Do you, as a tour, you guys have toured, right? Yeah. Are you familiar with Road Boner? Does that ever happen? Road Boner. Do you? Where you're just in the road in the bumpy van for so long. That's a bad name. That, like, it just gets hard because of the vibration. You don't think so? No, actually, I get plane, I get aeroplane boner. I get air boner. Maybe the vans aren't shaking enough. I get boners on the bus. Oh, bus boner. Maybe you need to ride in my van. Is that a threat? Yeah, maybe. Dude, she's trying to make him acquire road boners. I've actually had a boner for probably the last three hours. Okay, you should see a doctor about that. If your situation worsens. I'm going to give it another hour, and then I'm going to call the 800. Yeah, so after the episode, if needed, you know where to go. Yeah, the tour vans, it's usually a bunch of smelly, gross dudes. So, yeah, I almost never get boners in the van. Yeah. Bus boners makes me laugh, though. The vibrations are easily counteracted by the grossness. The grossness of the dudes in your presence. Yeah. Exactly. A boner. I guess not. Pretty much makes me lose my boner every time I get in there. Yep. Yeah, nothing like a boner loser. That sucks. Hey, we should say boner some more. You know what? We have a running thing on this show. Oh, yeah, every episode, it ends up with poop talk. Poop talk. Oh, God, no. We had to bring it up. No. We don't really have to talk about it, but we definitely like. There's always somehow it goes to either poop or boner. Poop or butts or boners. Almost every show. I'm a butt man. I can't speak for Matt. Matt, are you a poop man or a butt man? I'm a boner man. I'm a butt girl. Like, even girls. It doesn't matter if it's a girl or a guy. If I'm, like, in a place and there's a butt somewhere within my vision, like, my glare goes to it. And I catch myself. And I'm like, oh, I'm checking out an ass again. Isn't it funny? You can say, like, I'm a butt guy. And that sounds hetero. But if you say I'm an ass man, it sounds gay. Like, you're a gay. You're a gay guy. It does? Well, I'm an ass man. A guy referred to himself as being an ass man. And for some reason, like, my head went to, like, he's an ass man. Like, a superhero. The ass man. Yeah, like, he's coming to get you. Like, ass man. Yeah, like, ass man. Howard Assman. Ass man ship. Turning it off. So, yeah. Do you guys want to do? Yeah, I was going to say, we have two songs ready to play. Are they both? Are they both by Kwee? No. No, the first one is what? The first one is Freeze. Freeze, that is by Kwee. It's off our last record. And that's with our friend David Yao singing the vocals there. Oh, okay. And Matt's doing backing vocals on that, too. My hero, too. Yeah, David was in Kwee for a while. Yeah, and he's known for being in Jesus Lizard. Mm-hmm. And, yeah, he's playing at the show at The Echo. Oh. Cool. Yeah. So that, yeah, that's, and then the song after that is? Oh, it's Pauline. It's another group that I play with. Mm-hmm. So Paul has Pauline. So Paul's got Pauline, but, so it's going to be Kwee first, Pauline second. Yep. Right? Okay, cool. Right, so we're going to take a little music break so you guys can enjoy, and we can go smoke a joint. Yeah. I've always wanted to do this real quick. Yeah. Great. That's it. Well, all right.

And before that, you heard Cui. And that last song by Pauline was called My Old Man Played on the Radio. And I actually didn't remember to ask what the Cui song was called that played Pauline. But I think I heard it before that. Freeze. Freeze. All right. So, you're all dead. That was pretty. I'm glad we got to hear two different bands. It's the first time we've done that here. Where we've had like more than one. Oh, you should always do that. I'm gonna start. Bring as many people as possible. I mean, if you look at how well it went tonight. Yeah. And have people that refer to their side projects as sideys. Which I heard somebody say this weekend and it made me laugh so hard. My sideys? I've never heard that. I was like, what do you mean? I used to have a lot of sideys. Yeah, that's exactly what they put me on. Yeah, that's exactly what they put me on. They put it there like, oh no, it's this other thing I'm doing. I have a couple sideys. And I had to be like, can you break down what the shit you're talking about? I got a wicked case of sideys, man. It's inflamed. It's all over my groin. Yeah, fucking type two sideys. Sideys B plus. Yeah. So, yeah, that's pretty great. Well, I mean, yeah, sideys. I don't have any sideys. I guess you could technically say this is a sidey, but it's not really. This is just my main squeeze. Your main project? I have a sidey with my lady friend, Amy. We have a singing group called the Gaylords. Yeah, dope. Excellent group. I mean, one of the top. Well, probably number two behind Pauline. Very nice. As far as, you know, really good bands. And the Gaylords is the kind of name where you know what you're getting yourself into. You know that's going to be some, they're going to be busting out some sick, sick jams. We were visiting my parents in Michigan. And one of the neighboring towns where they lived was called Gaylord. And we thought that was really funny. And it sort of came from that. I went to school with a girl whose name was, her first and last name was Tamsin Gaylord. Fantastic. With a hyphen? No, like her name was Tamsin and her last name. And what's weird is she was named after Tamsin Donner, who like was one of the Donner party family members. Awesome. Which I thought was like so metal to be named. Like it really is. I've always been way into the Donner party. Me too. I actually have. I'm so, dude, I've got books about the Donner party. But yeah, I know the fact that her last name was Gaylord. I tried not to give her shit, but like it's hard when you're a little kid. It's hard when you're an adult. You're like, you're all gay. Even harder actually. It's way harder. It's really, I probably say things are gay like all like more than I should. And I'm tolerant of all different lifestyles. But because I grew up with saying that, it's still hard for me to be like, I don't know guys. That sounds really gay. Gay. Yeah. I kind of got that stuck too. But I'm pro. I'm like super cool with gay and I'm happy all the time. So I guess I'm kind of gay. Something gay, I suppose. Yeah, exactly. What are we going to do? Something gay called prank calling? Yeah. So we're about to, we're going to do a call right now. And basically our homeboy, Matt, we're going to, basically we're going to, we're going to ruin someone's, someone's life or at least confuse them and befuddle them. Live on the internet. I'm really, really excited about this. I used to do prank calls a lot with myself. I used to do prank calls with my sister where we would call the same number and just be like, yeah, like over and over again. Yeah. Our, our wonderful sound man, Nicholas. Thank you, Nicholas. Is getting it set up. Thank you, Jeremy. Can't be here tonight because he's got to run to the Greyhound bus station. Yeah. So are we, is it? All right. We're getting dialed in? Yeah. Here we go. So, you know. Prank call. Prank call. Prank call. Prank call. Prank call. Prank call. Prank call. Prank call. Prank call. Prank call. Prank call. Prank call. Prank call. Thank you for calling Autophone. This is Martha. How can I help you? Hey, Martha. It's Matt. Hello? Yeah. Hi, Martha. Martha. I don't think Martha could hear me. Oh, Martha. Martha could hear you. She just thought you were a weirdo, maybe. Call her back. Call her back. Martha. All right. Hold on. God damn it, Martha. I am. Wow. That's never happened. Such a fan of prank calling. So this is very epic and brings back memories. It really does. I just love that she's like not having it. We're going to get her right back. Calling the zone. Autophone. Yeah, dude. She. I didn't. Yeah. She wasn't being very helpful. Yeah. You should ask to speak to a manager or something. All right. I swear it's going to go well this time. We're calling Autosone. This is Martha. How can I help you? Hey, Martha. Can you hear me? Martha. Does it sound like echoey or is Martha like. Nah, Martha's just a bitch. Martha, you's a bitch at Autosone. All right. Try the 700 club number. Oh, 700 club. Okay, cool. Yeah. Hold on. I guess this is going to take a second. My friend, Pete Beeman, who's sort of been my inspiration for this type of shenanigan, since childhood has gotten me kind of hip to just calling up the prayer line at the 700 club and straightening them out a little bit. So we're going to have a hot box prayer moment. Awesome. A hot box moment of prayer. You know, because of God and everything. God loves stoners. Don't any of you forget that out there? Stoners. No kidding. God loves the stoner. All right. Ring. Thank you for calling the 700 club. You're welcome. We're so glad you called. So am I. All of our prayer representatives are currently assisting other callers. Yeah. Darn the luck. Stay on the line and we'll be with you in just a moment. Hopefully it won't take too long. They might not know that this is a life and death situation and that we need their prayer right now. We'll end the apocalypse, guys. So while we're on hold with this lovely music in the background, do you guys have anything to say about this upcoming apocalypse? Yeah. I don't give a shit. Yeah. I mean, I think if it's going to happen, there's probably fuck all I can do about it, right? I just, I hope we're given notice so then we can get some beer. Yeah. Get some beer. I already bought my vodka. I totally agree. I went apocalypse shopping, shopping today. I got a new can opener, batteries, a knife, and some vodka. I discussed it with, you know, my spiritual advisors and stuff and they all agreed that it's okay if we get some beer. I don't care if it's the apocalypse. Yeah. So. I'd like to maybe call my folks too. I can't believe how long this is taking. I don't think it's really going to happen. And this is Mindy being factual, but I know all of the horrible things that could happen at any moment. Oh, I thought you meant the phone call wasn't going to happen. I was like, oh, it's happening. I don't think we can predict it, but what I do predict happening is possible chaos. Hello? Good morning. Thank you for calling this 700-Grocery. I'm Mindy. I'm Mindy. I'm Mindy. I'm Mindy. I'm Mindy. I'm Mindy. I'm Mindy. I'm Mindy. I'm Mindy. This is 700-Grocery. This is Nancy. How may I help you? Hi. Um, I was just having a bit of a problem. I was hoping I could maybe, maybe discuss with you. Um, what? I have some new neighbors. And, uh, I'm, I'm having some, I'm having some differences with them. Just cool down on that one because they might be different people, you know? Oh, they're different. Uh huh. Yes.

I don't like filth. So if I see somebody who is making something filth, I feel like, oh Lord, I go and clean it, you know? Wow. This is just mind-blowing. So am I going to get a prayer here or what? Yeah, you're going to get a prayer. Alright, well, let's have it. You have a relationship with Jesus? Yeah, I would describe it as platonic, non-exclusive. Okay, let's pray. Father, today I thank you for my brother. Lord, you created all of us. We are all different. Wait, can you take that last part out? We are all different people. Okay, fine. We are all different, but we are all your children. Some like filth, some do not like filth. Some are clean, some are not clean. Today I pray that you will give my brother patience and tolerance for those people coming to live there. My Lord, I pray that the people will also keep the area clean. That there will be very neat people who will clean. They are very neat people who will love. There will be people who can keep the environment clean. That everything will be peaceful, Lord. You just tune them to do the right thing. That will not upset him. And Lord, put love in his heart. Not my heart. Hey, listen, I'm going to cut you off because I just got to go. Thanks. Bye. Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus. Another episode of the Hot Box is over. We will see you, not Christmas, but maybe on January 1st. I miss you guys. That was great. December 28th at the Echo.
