HR has entered the building. 🏢🤘

Georgia Lunch — Noman and Rory's long suffering HR representative — has dropped by the Metal Shoppe for a welfare check. And honestly, the welfare situation is concerning.

Someone has been washing their hands in the hellhound trough. Nikki No Goodnik used the Metal Lord's throne room as a bathroom and cleaned up with thousand year old tapestries. Anthony was found naked in the ductwork and has since been promoted to Chairman. The Ice Pirates may or may not have dissolved Donnie Rhames in the animal trough. And SeatGeek and Fast Fred — a suspiciously attractive AI podcast — is trying to muscle in on the Patreon.

But most importantly — Georgia has secured TWO pathways to the World Air Guitar Championships in Oulu, Finland. The Notorious Brunch is going to Finland. 🎸

Also — Desmond Child lyrics are apparently the only known weapon against an angry Metal Lord. You give love a bad name. You're welcome.

Rory, was that action?

Oh, that was action.

Yes, that was.

That.

That.

That means action.

It also means.

I don't know.

You can tell us.

It means I. I've got something on my fingers I can't seem to shake.

Mm.

Such as?

Dance moves?

I don't know.

Okay.

I was worried you weren't washing your hands after using the washroom again.

Well,.

I saw it that one time.

I'm washing my hands in the.

In the wash basin behind the trailer next to the tire rim.

The tire rim?

Isn't that the animal trough for the hellhounds?

I'm pretty sure we sent a note out about that last month.

You.

You guys should have gotten it.

We're not supposed to be using anything near the animal trough or that tire, especially after the weasel invasion from the neighbors.

I'm sure you remember that incident.

Nikki no Goodnik might have used that trough for.

Well, when Nikki no Goodnik was here.

He's.

He used to be the.

What was the band.

He was.

A Cactus.

He said he was in Cactus.

Or a Rooster.

Atomic Rooster.

But he also said.

What.

What.

What was Anthony's favorite band?

White snake.

Come on, G.L.

What was.

What's Anthony's favorite band?

The one that Chris L. Always makes fun of him for.

Oh, Rough Cut.

Rough Cut.

He was the.

Yeah, he was the roadie for Rough Cut.

He.

He was in the office a couple of days ago because he was.

He was doing the job for Rough Cut.

He was.

I got a job.

You gotta do the job.

Yeah.

So unfortunately, I think we shut down Rough Cut because of Nikki no Goodnik.

Oh, no.

Yeah.

But he was.

So in case you got a memo on this, he was using behind the trailer to do his business, and he's got irritable bowel syndrome, and he was using that.

So I.

Can.

You, like, maybe somebody should clean it up.

Because if the hellhounds have to drink from there and there's, like, stuff in there, like.

Yeah, we'll send somebody to take a look at that.

For sure.

I'll.

I'll have a talk.

I'll make some calls.

That.

That doesn't sound good.

That sounds a little more.

Especially if you have a rough cut that could get infected.

We don't.

We really don't want that.

Yeah, the images in my head are just.

Oh, it's more than I can bear.

More beer?

What for?

Nothing helps.

I'm a Disney princess.

That's all I gotta say.

That's okay.

So what brings you here, H.R.

Yeah, well, as you may have heard, I've Been traveling around doing some air guitar business, of course, on the company dime, as I deserve.

I also have a trip planned to Finland right now.

I have.

Wait, so you're going regardless?

You.

You're going to Finland regardless?

I am going to Finland regardless.

And I have secured a dark horse spot.

So what that means is the night before the World Championships of Air Guitar, there is a dark horse tournament, and a selection of people perform for one last shot to get a spot in world.

So there's 15 of us that were chosen, and the top three scoring that night will make it into the World championship proper the next night.

So I have that.

And then simultaneously, I've also earned a shot at Nationals at US Nationals, where the winner there will be sent to Worlds.

So, so wait, so if you win on multiple levels, do you get to enter three times into the competition, have to do three songs?

No, If I were to.

If so if I were to win nationals, they will remove me from Dark Horse, and the next.

The next placing scoring person will take that spot.

That's good.

That's good.

Yeah.

But I do have two potential ways to get to world right now.

I love that you're working all the angles.

That's pretty awesome.

Yeah.

So this is a really big year for World Air Guitar.

The competition, the championships takes place every year in a city called Oulu, Finland.

So there is a whole slew of festivals and, like, events and all kinds of crazy stuff all around Oulu, Finland, because it is the cultural capital of Europe officially.

And that includes the World Air Guitar competition.

Yeah.

So this is a really big year.

Me and my tag team partners coming with me.

My.

That was my next question.

That was my next question.

Yep.

The Notorious Bob.

So then the Notorious brunch will be in Finland.

And.

Yeah.

So we will be making the rounds and taking in all the sights and events and hamming it up with everybody all over the world that plays their guitar.

Oh, man, that's so cool.

So I'm here following my.

I'm here following my travels to catch up on what's been going on.

I'm not so thrilled with this talk of washing our hands in the.

In the animal trough behind the trailer.

But, yeah, I'm just here to check up on things, see what's been going on.

How's everything holding up?

Okay.

Well, I've got a question.

See, Antony is out of the ductwork now.

We managed to.

Billy D. Kevin.

And was the other guy's name Billy?

It's like so Billy.

We see we have Pete.

We have these temps that keep coming into our office.

I don't know how they get here.

We wrote this down.

I know we did.

Right.

The chairman had something to do.

The chairman.

Anthony.

Anthony Kitane had something to do with the In Obscuria AI show.

And they brought us AI avatars from that show.

Maybe something.

I don't know, whatever.

I can't keep up with continuity, which is why my work suffers.

But I think it was Billy D. Kevin.

Billy D. Kevin.

Oh, and Hobart Harrison.

Hobart Rarison.

Hobart.

Hobart Hobart.

Two.

Two Southern fellas.

Natural names, as you know.

Yeah, as natural as Southern.

As Southern.

Yeah.

But anyway, so they.

They.

He managed to vat.

He managed to grease Tony or Anthony and get him out of the duct work.

And when he came out, it was revealed that he was the son of the.

The old general manager that replaced the metal lord.

So now he's been promoted.

And I think that's what I wanted to ask you.

So the.

The abuse he was suffering is.

Is that what got him his promotion?

That got Antony his promotion as chairman?

Yeah.

So this was part of a deal because, you know, he did threaten to sue as.

As you would imagine.

So based on the terms, which I really can't go into too much more detail, but I will say we did.

We did hook him up with.

With some therapy.

We have provided him with some other resources that he needs to recover from the trauma that he did suffer.

And we recognize, you know, and.

And.

And humbly apologize for everything that, I mean, endure.

And Hobart Hobert really greased him up, so I think there's trauma from that too.

Yeah, especially.

Clothes.

I don't know why he was in there naked in the ductwork.

He suffered some abrasions and some rough cuts.

And like, you know, as I said, we really.

We really don't.

We really don't want more infections.

Well, a rough cut will always cause a staph infection.

You know, it's a dangerous thing.

You know, you can't really just throw rough cut out there all the time.

You're going to get infected.

Is staph infection a band?

Probably is.

We need to play them.

Write it down.

That's Band Aid we have to patent.

Listen, I am.

I am a defender of rough cuts of all kinds, including those of Paul Sortino.

Amir Dirac.

Quite right.

3.

Stay with me tonight yeah, yeah, shortened.

What's that?

Damn.

There's a.

There's.

There's a few, you know, side projects, even Orgy.

I will.

Amir Dirak, you know, being involved a decade later in a whole other avenue of music.

I'm sure he was the first choice for Twisted Sister before Sebastian Bach.

I'm sure.

I'm making stuff up.

Okay,.

Stay with the character.

Stay with the character.

Okay.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Madame X?

Oh, Madame X. Oh, yeah, right.

Yeah, we might be.

Yeah, we might be.

Yeah.

You're high in high school.

Oh, my God.

Sorry.

So have you heard about.

So there's another corporate overlord thing that's happening at the company?

And.

And I can't.

I can't take it.

Rory.

You know how mad I am about.

I can't take this anymore.

Who the is this Sean Geek and Fast fret organization that.

That's trying to take over this show?

You know, I have heard something about that, but I. I feel like a lot of their hype is kind of based around that AI thing where, like, they just kind of throw out these little buzzwords, you know, shareholder meetings.

Yeah.

And then, you know, anything that they'll.

They say, like, yo, it'll replace xyz, which, like, no, you can't place XYZ inside out such a classic song, like never.

Yeah, you can't.

Yeah.

So I really do think there's just.

It's just a lot of, like, made up hype.

I really.

I wouldn't worry too much about them, honestly.

Well, I wanted to make sure because when the Metal Lord came back, when Donnie Rhames Geo was slaughtered by the Metal Lord, he agreed to pay us.

So I want to make sure we're getting paid.

But apparently this pay.

There's a pay wall between us and the Patreon for this AI Sean Geek and.

Wait, it was seatgeek and Fast Fred.

Yeah.

Is what scene Geek and Fast.

Seat Geek.

I think it was seatgeek and Fast Fred Podcast is.

That's what we're calling them because we don't want to.

We don't want to call them out on the show.

You don't want to give them clicks?

I. I don't want to give them any clicks because I don't like AI podcasts at all.

And that's like you said, I think that's what they're doing.

I mean, yeah, I mean, that.

That, like that Fast Fred guy.

Nobody can be that handsome.

That has to be an AI generated face on.

On that show.

I mean, an attractive man.

But you.

You don't get.

Some would say you don't get that.

Attractive in real life.

So.

Okay.

I mean, yeah, it's.

It's very unattainable, especially AI pushing unattainable beauty standards.

I really.

I'm not in favor of it whatsoever.

I will make sure that there are no more barriers that they are setting between you and the patrons.

I truly.

I would not worry about it at all.

Okay.

Yeah.

And, like, they never get their TPS reports out on time.

Like, it's.

It's.

It's a big problem.

It's a whole thing.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Well, of course, because they're AI.

All the stuff that they get that they pump out is wrong anyway.

You know, what are they.

They're running it through some other AI program is.

They're training.

They're just training themselves on.

On many lowly other podcasters out there.

It's.

Honestly, it's not.

Yeah, I wouldn't.

I wouldn't give it really any more stress or thought.

Okay.

And you know what?

I hear he also.

He wears a wig, so.

Oh, my God, that too.

It's not even a no.

Embrace your baldness.

Like, we do.

Doesn't even have a.

None of this AI hair.

It's like Max Headroom.

Max Headroom.

Put it on the list.

Put it on the list right beside them.

Is he doing.

Is he doing, like, a Mark the Animal Mendoza?

Where.

Like, have you seen.

Do you.

You guys know what I'm talking about?

Where he.

Like, it's.

It looks like drawn in with a marker.

Mendoza is.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

He's a sexy beast, though.

Sexy beast.

I don't know.

Chris.

L. Chris.

Ls in.

In love with him, from what I understand.

Oh, okay.

I was not aware.

Oh, no, he's very much in love with Mendoza.

He brings them up all the time.

I. Oh, wait.

Marco Mendoza?

Or, wait, Mark.

No, two different ones.

Wait, I'm getting lost.

I was gonna say there is.

There is a Marco Mendoza.

Okay.

No.

Who's Mark Mendoza?

He is.

He is hot.

No, Mark the Animal Mendoza is from Twisted Sister.

Okay.

Yes, I always.

Okay, that.

That.

Yeah, they're not the same.

Literally.

Do you remember.

You remember.

You remember Sleazy P. Martini from Gore?

Yeah.

How his hair, like, was like a plastic helmet?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's.

That's kind of what Mark the Animal Mendoza has going on.

Shit.

Now I got to look this up.

Yeah, no, you.

You have to.

It's.

I saw him on some podcast that came up on, like, I saw a clip on my Instagram feed the other day.

I. Whoever decided, let's have, like, a close.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'm gonna share this with Rory here.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

He's like a Lego.

He's like a Lego.

But it's like, it's.

Yes, it's painted on, but it's somehow, like.

There's no volume to it at all.

It's like,.

Is.

It's just marker.

Oh.

Oh, my God.

Okay.

And.

And no, we're not talking about Mark Mendoza, the graphic designer, because that also came up.

Sorry.

We're using aol.

Our search engine's not very good here.

Marco Mendoza.

Right.

This guy right here.

But the one that we were talking.

Who's the hot one?

Was this Marco?

Oh, wait.

Marco Mendoza.

Here's Marco.

Yeah, Marco.

Here's Marco, I think.

Let's see.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, I have.

Okay.

No, that's not allowed.

He's almost as handsome as Todd from Fast Fred.

Wow.

I have his autograph right there.

Oh, my God.

Right on.

Wow.

Yeah, because I was.

Because they played on the Kiss Cruise.

Yeah, he was with the Dead Daisies at the.

Yeah.

Okay.

He's been in Everybody.

I think he also.

Yeah, I think he was also in Dee Snyder's widowmaker.

Actually, funny enough, I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure I could be wrong on that.

I feel like it could be right,.

Because, I mean, he's from this picture.

He's got a good head of hair, and, like, he has to be there to cancel out.

Oh, my God.

This guy should be illegal.

Look at that.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's.

He's got it going on.

I may have to go behind the trailer.

Oh, no, don't use the.

Don't wash your hands.

Actually, no, wash your hands based on what I'm assuming is gonna happen.

So the other thing I hope he gets.

I was just going to say, I hope Mark the Animal Mendoza has, like, a sponsorship by Posca Markers or something.

You know, those, like, paint markers.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Or even Bic,.

Because it's about a Bic quality.

I think it's not the good markers, it's the bad markers.

Okay, so I have another item I need to bring up, but I think we should play a song.

Sure.

Because it will get.

We'll get in the mood.

I don't know if you're having a beverage, but I think that's.

I actually was thinking I have.

I have two beverages right now, but I don't have a Fun beverage.

Usually I'm like.

I'm like one of those, like, multi beverage people.

I have a water for hydration, I have a matcha for energy, but I don't have, like, a fun, fun beverage.

And sometimes I do need a fun beverage.

So I might go get a fun beverage while you play this.

We do have to play this sound clip because I get.

We.

We get paid by G Love in the special sauce.

Oh, we do?

Okay.

No, we don't.

But I'm just saying that anyway.

I keep hearing money that's coming our way that we're.

That we're supposed to get.

We're not getting.

We're getting paid.

You're.

You're driving me crazy, man.

Am I getting paid?

Guess who sucked.

The jets were lousy.

Well, that's just rude.

I will have to have a rant about the guess who during this interview or whatever we're doing with you.

I really have to.

The guess who.

I have to talk about the guess who.

But there's two more topics we have to follow.

We have to talk.

The tapestries.

We have to go into.

We got to bring the tapestries up with you.

There was rumor that Rory and I were going to get fired over the.

What happened with the tapestries?

The metal lord was really pissed off at us, but we were able to deflect him.

But I have to get that ready for the next segment.

Okay, so.

Well, I'm looking forward to hearing.

You're going to love this.

You're going to love this game.

So who wants to go first for to pick a song?

If you want.

I have.

It might be a good start.

It's a bit of an earworm.

Not, you know, something a little.

Ease us in.

Well, I got stuff when I had my head in the trough there.

Oh, you do?

Yeah.

Hopefully it's not an earworm.

Well, I think the only way you'll know you'll have an earworm is if.

You're gonna start talking like this.

Like Dave Mustaine?

Well, no,.

A different political figure.

Oh, yeah.

I think Dave with the worm, he gets along quite well with the music, you know, you're just the worm.

What are you doing there?

Hello, Me?

Okay, I don't know if.

Okay, I'm gonna start typing here.

All right.

So the song is called.

The band is.

It's called Dogma.

It's kind of a little.

Okay, a little more.

A little more light hearted.

Actually.

There's the album right there.

Dogma album.

Dogma.

You know, it seems like an interesting group.

I think they're from.

I almost wanted to play the song that showed up below that, but it's.

Kind of been in my head.

It's like an earworm you get from the trough.

It kind of won't.

Won't go away.

It's up at the top there called Feel.

Feel the zeal.

Pretty.

Pretty catchy.

All right.

Feel the zeal it is.

We'll be right back,.

Sam.

Very strict parents.

I spend time with them when I'm not incompetent.

Don't wanna be there.

So many rules.

They're strict with me.

I deserve punishment when I don't fulfill and wanna stop the person noise.

I hear my parents passing.

I feel the ste.

That noise arouses me.

You did?

I feel it makes me raise a lot.

Feel.

When I knee lo in crush my skin.

It's like a big chunk R. But that is his will.

Why so much pain?

Don't think I have hurt them.

I don't deserve this.

Me, You mean?

I feel.

It makes me feel the.

And while I suffer, there's a noise.

I hear my parents bouncing.

I feel the z.

My noise arouses.

Do you mean I feel.

It makes me grizzle.

I feel.

They are panting.

What has happened that excites me.

Come on, punish me.

Punish me.

Punish me.

What has happened?

Wow, that's pretty good.

Yeah.

There.

I wasn't.

I wasn't familiar.

I know.

Dogma.

I just wasn't familiar with that song.

I'm more familiar with, like.

What's that?

They do a cover of Like a Prayer.

Yeah.

What?

Yeah, they do a cover of Madonna.

Yeah.

It's pretty.

Pretty cool.

It's kind of funny that you don't think.

If you listen to the album, the song before it is.

I think it's called Forbidden Zone and it's about a girl in a convent who's just crushing over the mother superior and wants her to, I think, have sex with her.

So it's.

It's a weird.

But there's a point here.

Okay.

The song ends with, like, weird.

Like.

Like bed springs start going.

And then, like, that's the beat that started this.

So they're like actual, like, bed springs.

Like, it's just kind of fun.

It's, you know.

Now.

Now you have to play some version of Christian Woman by Typo Negative.

Because I feel like that's such a predecessor.

Is that where you want to go?

I'm.

I've got no issue.

I don't know.

That's just what it reminded me of.

But I do have a dear friend in air guitar.

Her name is Sister of Mercy.

And she did, she did her.

I mean, her whole shtick.

I mean her whole like thing.

She's a satanic nun basically.

Just like, like the members of Dogma,.

They're like the best kind of nuns.

Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, because nuns have no fun, right?

But satanic nuns, they definitely have way more fun.

Yeah.

And she, she did a routine one year to that Dogma version of like a prayer.

Nice.

That's awesome.

Yeah.

Yes.

That was good.

That was.

I, I quite enjoyed that.

I figured I'd start something really good.

Something a little light, you know, a little softer, you know, and then you increase.

Yeah, that is, you know, the intensity.

As Plato once says, you don't go hard right away.

I'm pretty sure he said that.

Plato.

Yeah, like the, the, the.

The Philosopher Or Clay company.

Or the clay company.

Oh, play.

D'oh.

You don't go hard right away unless you leave the cap off.

I thought you were talking philosophy.

I might be.

All right.

All right, we'll find out.

That was, that was good.

So, okay, so the, the issue that.

So the issue that I wanted to bring up now when Nikki no Goodnik was here, the, the, the roadie for Rough Cut, because this is going to be an ongoing joke, when he was here, he didn't like using the.

Like we had the tire.

The tire rim and the trough.

He didn't like using that.

So he stumbled into the plant and went to the corporate washroom.

But it wasn't the corporate washroom.

It was the Metal Lord's throne room.

And he went in there and I don't know what he did his business in in, but he noted, he told us there was no toilet paper.

So he took the thousand year old tapestries hanging from the wall to clean himself up.

Nikki no Goodnik died.

He died.

Oh, yes.

The Metal Lord had him incinerated and he's now banging his girlfriend.

Oh.

So as one does.

Okay, well, she was servicing Rough Cut before.

Okay.

But there was, there was an arrangement.

I don't know.

I think that's how he got the job.

Anyway, whatever.

It's a long story.

Was she, was she the, the prostitute he kept referring to?

Yes.

Girlfriend.

Yeah, she also.

He kept thinking that I was.

She also worked at Applebee's during, like during your lunch breaks.

Yeah, he kept, you know, he, he kept saying like, you're talking to my girl.

I was like, I don't, I don't have a phone.

And I was, he wouldn't listen.

He was very.

He was a bit of a paranoid.

Individual in some ways, and he kept trying.

I often hear that about Applebee's waitresses.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, I. I think that's.

That might be, like, an American thing, because there's lots of jokes about Applebee's I just don't get.

Yeah, I'll be honest.

I don't fully get them either, because I feel like other people are going to way cooler Applebee's than the ones I've gone to.

I.

The Applebee's I go to or have gone to don't typically have, like, jukeboxes or, like, super, like, super slutty waitresses.

That's not like.

I don't know what.

No.

But I have friends who keep kind of relaying these stories from other areas, and I'm like, I. I don't.

What Applebee's are y' all going to like.

I would love.

Canada is like.

Is like a family restaurant.

It's a.

It's a safe place to take your kids.

Yeah.

I think, though.

Total opposite.

I think.

I think that it mostly is, but I think they still have, like.

But it is, like, margarita.

Like, they still have those margarita deals.

Okay.

So, yeah, I will.

It's the dollaritas.

Dollaritas.

Okay.

That's.

That's.

I think that's kind of where it centers around.

Like, that's.

That's the prime.

It's a good place to get drunk and then.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then, like, have an Oreo lava cake or something.

Yeah, yeah.

Yep.

Dollar margaritas.

That's how Applebee's becomes Applebee's after dark.

That's because after a while, after a few of those, you don't even know where you are anymore.

All you know is that the chicken fingers are pretty good.

So.

So the question I had.

I was gonna ask about the tapestries.

Okay.

Do you know if they, like, he was gonna have them laundered, but I don't know how you laundered.

How you.

Because he was, like, he was gonna fire us both, so we actually deflected punishment.

We were going to get punished by the metal Lord because he was happy how things were going.

Donny Rhames is.

You know, he was eviscerated by the ice pirates on the plant floor.

You know, he sent his ice pirates to go kill them.

They're.

They're sorry.

Their ice pirates are Canadian pirates.

That's what ice pirates are.

So they come out in skates, and instead of swashbuckling, they've got hockey sticks and everything.

So he sent them out to.

To take out Donnie Rheims.

Now, the body was never recovered, so we don't know what happened to him.

But have you tried looking in the trough?

I mean, it sounds like you did with.

You got your whole hand in it, right?

Well, there was something.

When you go out there, why don't you give it, get about, you know, elbow deep and just see if you can.

Part.

Part of.

Part of my.

Part of the note that we sent out on not using that for washing our hands anymore is the acidity, the acidic nature of the sediment in that area and the liquids and all that.

So, honestly, I mean, I listened to my share of those true crime podcasts and such, but I would think that's a place to look if you haven't searched there yet or if you have come across something suspicious.

Just saying maybe.

Maybe look there.

Okay.

I mean, that's probably a good thing to do, right?

Because we want to.

We kind of want to make sure Donny Rhames is in the ground after all.

Right.

Well, I. I mean, I'd like him to, but.

But you know what?

That.

That's Antony's dad.

So I like.

I don't know.

I'd like.

I'm of two minds, you know, Anthony was a good friend of ours.

He would talk to us through.

Through the duct work, you know, offer some good song selections and, you know, like, do we want to deprive him of his dad?

You know, I. I don't know.

I don't know how I feel about all that.

I mean, we can ask him.

Maybe.

Maybe he'll answer us one day.

Maybe.

So I'm going to tell you what we did to deflect the metal lord in a minute, but I have to have a conference with Rory over there to discuss how we're gonna pull off this sketch.

Okay, so we have to get ready.

So.

I. E. We have to play a song.

Are you bringing a song to the table, Ms. Lynch?

I believe so.

At some point I will.

Yes.

I have at least one song to provide.

Okay.

Do you want.

I got one.

I've got, actually, 17 songs ready.

Only 17?

That's all I brought today.

I. I didn't do my homework, you know, I tried, you know, but whatever.

I do have a song to play.

Okay,.

Let me go to it now.

I think I'm gonna play this song for now.

There's.

I have a bunch of three other songs.

We have.

One of the guys on the plant floor was complaining about the music we're playing, so I'm.

I'm we'll get to that later.

But right now, I just really want to hear this song, okay?

And I'm not gonna intro it, we're just gonna play it, and we're all gonna enjoy it.

Are you.

Are we ready?

Right.

On.

I'm like, ah, this is gonna.

He's gonna escalate.

Like, I just can't not.

You know, he's great.

I.

He's on my bucket list.

I. I mean, he should be able to, like, do a show here, right?

I. I would hope so.

In the middle.

Yeah.

Why not?

Like, what else are you doing?

Oh, yeah, you might have hurt your throat there.

You might want to get.

Get yourself a beverage.

Oh, wait, I got to hit the.

That's not even close.

Martini time.

I got to work on that.

But I got to work on that.

I'm.

You know.

But I could always do this, too.

Like, what's this one?

I can't find my mouse.

So did you find yourself a fun drink?

That's where I put it.

Usually in the fridge.

Yes.

Okay.

Okay.

So.

Okay, we have to talk about the beer we're gonna drink.

So it's Pride month.

Oh, yes.

Yes, it is.

So I think pride's a good thing.

So we are drinking.

I am drinking.

It's excited to be drank, so I'm also excited to have it in my.

Can I.

Be careful.

The.

It.

The.

The top is that.

Just do a slow expiration.

Here's what I'm gonna do.

You know, like, when you're in a business meeting, you got gas and you just gonna pass it really slow.

Like, you gotta do the same thing with the.

I usually do one of those, and then there's like.

I usually end up doing, like.

Who could have done that?

I'm gonna.

I'm gonna open it slowly.

So in this office, we like to support LGBTQ stuff.

I'm sorry.

It's just the way it has to be.

If you don't like.

Absolutely.

If you don't like it, you.

Right.

Well, it's part of corporate policy, so.

Exactly.

If you don't, you know, you're fucked up.

Get out of here.

Yeah.

We're all here to be.

We're all here together.

We're all.

Where am I going with this?

There was.

If.

If I may, for a moment, there was a supporter of the show that has been blackballed from listening for anti comments.

So I don't.

Yeah, don't.

In all seriousness, like, go yourself.

Yeah, that's.

That's fair.

Yeah, that's.

Yeah.

Lame and stupid.

Yep.

So in his honor, we're drinking beer that you don't like.

So cheers, Georgia.

Cheers.

You got your fun drink.

Cheers.

Yeah, it is.

It is not alcohol.

Well, this is a koozie, a liquid death koozie, but this is actually something called breeze.

B, R, E, Z.

It is.

It has thc, cbd, and lion's mane.

So it's like.

What's.

What.

What does actual lines mean?

Like, it's a type of mushroom.

It's like an adaptogenic.

Okay.

Mushroom.

It's supposed to, like, give you mental clarity, but also it's.

So it's.

It's cannabis and mushrooms, basically, in a drink.

But it's like a.

It's all.

It's a lemon, elder flower flavored Nice.

Nice.

So it's only like.

It's like.

It's 5 milligrams of THC, 10 milligrams CBD.

So it's just like a light little, you know, like a nice little lift.

Do we have that?

Yeah, we have.

We have that stuff here.

If you could.

At the dispensary, you could buy.

You can get a lot, though.

They'll.

You'll go in and they'll.

You know, I want some.

You know, there's.

There's snacks.

Like, there's baked goods, there's drinks.

There's.

I mean, there's probably more products I've never even heard of, because I'm not.

Yeah.

I'm not going in there very often, but, like, it's.

Yeah.

So what.

What's it like in your neck of the woods?

Is it, like.

It's completely legalized in Canada, like, every.

Yeah, well, I know that because.

Well, I always go by the Clutch song.

The Mob Goes wild Everybody move to Canada Smoke lots of pot Everybody move to Canada Right now here's how we do it.

Bum rush the border God before he and his dog ever knew it.

These are.

These are love, Clutch.

These are wise words.

These are wise words, Clutch.

How come we have never played Clutch on this.

On this show?

Because some of.

Oh, what the.

Yeah.

Change the.

Wait.

No, no, no.

We played.

We played when Nikki.

No Goodnik was here.

Did we or.

No, we played Gnome Enthusiast.

That's what we played by Clutch.

Oh, okay.

They have so many.

So many good songs.

I love them.

They're so good.

But I. I have something I. I wanted to say to Rory.

So this is.

This is called deflection therapy.

So.

So follow along as best you can.

And if you can complete the phrase, please do so.

Okay.

So I can just hop in there.

Now, if you beat.

If you beat Rory to the punch.

That could happen.

You get to punch him, I guess.

I don't know.

Okay.

That's fair.

I accept these terms.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm just.

I'm.

She's gonna have to.

I'm trying to consider the board.

Gonna have the bum ro.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to do that.

I was also trying to think.

Does this put my position in peril, in a.

As hr.

But I don't think so.

You're in charge.

We just work.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's true.

Okay.

You ready, Rory?

I'm.

I don't.

I can't not laugh.

I ain't got a fever.

I get a permanent disease.

It'll take more than a doctor to prescribe a remedy.

Okay.

Okay, so we'll do another one.

If this get totally fails, it's.

I'm gonna blame it on SeatGeek and.

Fast Fred, so it's a win.

Win.

Okay, this.

This one.

This one you get.

These are so bad.

I can't.

I can't.

Okay,.

Take two.

I'm under a physical spell I am.

A prisoner and your love is.

Love is my spell.

Okay, let's do.

Let's do another one.

These are always hard when you're not hearing it in the melody.

Well, I'm purposely trying to monotone this shit.

Yeah.

Or why don't we.

Oh, here we go.

This is how we're gonna do it.

She's into superstitions, Black cats and voodoo dolls.

Shit.

I feel the premonition that girl's gonna make me fall.

Yeah.

I feel like we almost.

I feel like Dave Mustaine doing that song would be so funny.

You know, that would be great.

I'm gonna.

Can't die.

No dying.

And I can't go get water from the trough.

Yeah.

Okay.

Not anymore.

Nope.

So that's how we deflected the metal Lord when he was going to assassinate us.

We started throwing Desmond Child lyrics at him.

And.

And so.

Okay, so he was forced to repeat the lyric to us because it's so damn catchy.

So I did not realize those were specifically Desmond Child songs, but you are correct.

Every single one was.

Yes.

Yes.

So he.

Maybe you.

You do an impression of the metal or don't you?

I mean, I could do it like.

Okay, I guess.

Okay, so why don't you, like.

Like.

Like, come at me like you're going to banish me?

Okay.

And then we'll.

We.

We'll illustrate.

Okay.

All right, so I think he's.

He's very.

He's very much a.

A baritone.

So he's kind of.

What?

Am I deflecting or am I just.

You're going to be coming at me, and I'm going to deflect you.

But you're going to.

And.

And he is going to repeat the lyric.

Okay?

So I think he.

Trust me, this will be funny.

So I think he sounded like something.

Something like.

Actually, I need to clear my throat a bit.

Let me clear my throat.

Who shit on my tapestries?

You make me rock hard, baby, all night.

What?

Oh, wait, am I supposed to do.

I'm a.

Wait, what line was it?

You make me rock hard, baby, all night.

Love's like a glove and it fits just right.

You make me rock hard.

So, baby, hold Tight.

Come on, baby, let's rock hard, baby.

Oh,.

Okay.

That was.

I don't know if that was so.

It worked.

He.

And then he forgot the curse he was gonna put on me.

So we just kept throwing lines at him.

That might be a week weakness of his.

He has.

It's a weakness for catchy lyrics like.

Oh, here we go.

This is.

This is a.

All time classic here.

Okay.

I'm actually crying.

My nose is running because I'm laughing so hard.

So.

So he's coming at me and I say, it takes a hard working lover to keep on toeing the line.

I'll meet you under the covers.

I get excited.

I'm so excited.

Okay, okay.

So.

He.

And he can't help himself.

They're so catchy.

And you always know the follow up line to a Desmond Child lyric.

You always know what.

Where he's going to go.

It's going to be sexually explicit because that's the.

You know, the way he writes.

Bang bang.

You.

You know, another great example, like everything.

You can't not sing along.

You give love a bad.

That's true.

Yeah.

I have a friend who argues that Desmond Child is the best songwriter in Kiss.

And it is indeed quite a hot take.

But when.

When you compare the lyrics that he's put on the table, not even just in Kiss, just the work that he's done with so many other artists, it's kind of hard to argue in a sense.

Yeah, yeah, you got a point there,.

Boy.

See, I. I didn't.

I wasn't sure if that sketch was gonna work.

And we still don't truly know.

We still don't.

Oh, by the way, this might have to be the COVID of the episode right here.

I think we need.

I think.

You know what?

They have a T shirt shop, right?

Those.

Those assholes at SeatGeek and Fast Red.

We should make our own T shirt.

We have an Aetney T shirt.

Oh, free Anthony.

We had.

Yeah, we did one of those.

And it.

It.

It went by.

Which you did.

We sold the we.

I think it was all 100 million copies of that thing.

Like, I mean, no, nobody's bigger than Anthony.

Not yet.

You know, like I, I heard.

I heard that Kiss was going to reform so they could open for Anthony at the H Vac Company opening ceremonies.

That Gene Simmons will do anything for money.

I'm sorry.

Can they afford getting the avatars in there now?

Can't talk, little man.

They can't play none either.

Yeah, that.

No, that.

That.

That's for Nikki Six.

Sorry.

Hot Take like that, huh?

Wow.

Boy.

Yeah, yeah, Reminds me.

Reminds me.

One time I skipped a Motley Crue concert to see Huey Lewis in the news, and it was one of the best decisions of my life.

It was an excellent show.

Good for you.

Yeah, nice.

The last time I. I saw Motley Crue, which was in Montreal, they got booed off the stage.

Oh, no, that was in the throes of their.

Their drug addled years, I. I believe.

Oh, yeah, it was.

It was bad.

It was so bad.

It was so bad that the crowd wanted warrant to do an encore and they were the opener.

Oh, did they bring enough cherry pie for everybody?

Is that word.

That's orange, right?

Yeah, that's one.

Yes.

I was like, oh, no.

What are you talking about?

Rory, are you.

Who's Alec?

Cut.

I'm just kidding.

We can't say the name in front of her.

Anyway.

Anyway, we should play another song.

Who's.

Who's next?

Is it.

Well, if.

If GL's all ready to go.

That's not Green Lantern, by the way.

That's Georgia Lunch, but don't confuse the two.

I was going to, but.

All right, thank you for.

Well, I. I did.

I did speak to.

Is he still going by Anthony?

Is he.

I think he calls himself kind of.

Like the Chairman now, I guess is what he's called.
