And don't eat peanuts before podcasting. Hi, this is Rich Tails from the Top Rated Murder Your Podcast. No carrots either. That was gonna say no raw carrots.

No raw carrots. They never go away. They're just always in your mouth for hours. Little flex of it just there.

Yeah, so as much as I do love to just eat peanuts randomly, I liked eat peanuts. I ate some peanuts yesterday while I was working on the podcast. Yeah, I needed a snack. And then I found it difficult to sing and speak.

Oh, peanuts. Because they just get caught. Not good for lubricating the vocal cords and such. No.

So like Broadway actors. It's just they don't chew it enough. You can never chew a peanut enough. Yeah, I was just thinking about Broadway actors never eat nuts before going on stage.

Yeah. I feel like a no nut rule. Was that true? So that's a thing.

No, I just was wondering. Hello. Don't know. Tomorrow's Halloween.

Yes, it's true. It's true now. Tomorrow's Halloween. Tomorrow's Halloween.

Which could be today for people. This is this episode, which is not Halloween themed will be available on Halloween. Oh, okay. It's coming out on Halloween.

I guess. Yeah. Or later today. Oh my goodness.

Doesn't matter. Here we are. I've been real low impact on myself. I'm not really I'm not pushing myself to these deadlines anymore.

They're a drag. Nope. The other day Adele and I were discussing things not to surprise us with. Yeah.

Like speaking of birthdays. Don't surprise us either Adele or I or for our anniversary. Do not give us a balloon ride. Wait, it couldn't use you to keep going on a balloon ride.

I'll pass on a hot air balloon ride. And even if you're like, no, it'll be fun and it'll be cool. No. Don't do that.

Don't even offer it. Don't even think about that. I could be persuaded because then I actually even if I don't show you how much I hate it. I hate it.

And I might hate them. We were driving to with this. Excuse me. We were driving down to Adele through the country side through the farmlands between ourselves and Hadley, Massachusetts.

We were surrounded by farmland. But where are we going? Whole food. Whole food.

Whole food. We were driving back. But she was in the car. What's the birthday episode?

Sorry. Spacing out here. But we saw hot air balloon. And how long?

You should get everything you fucking want. It's the birthday episode. It's the birthday episode. Yay.

Happy birthday, October. Trebe's baby. Really birthday. A shout out for your birthday.

Wrong Russians. But they welcome to a new year. You. You're a final.

I'm shining like a diamond. Take a month to celebrate you. You've done so good time too. All right.

Should I go? Yeah, go. Okay. Oh my gosh.

Our first birthday shout out comes from our lovely listener Morgan. Number one, she has two birthday shout outs. First one. Happy birthday to my best friend, my best bestie.

Sorry, Chrissy. No matter what we are. Oh my God. Guys, I'm screwing it up.

I'm sorry. Can I start over? No. Okay.

Morgan, I'm so sorry. I'm gonna start over. Number one. Happy birthday to my best bestie, Chrissy.

No matter what we are there for each other. And have fun. Whatever we do. She has a new mom and is kicking ass so much.

This year navigating that change. I am so proud of the human and mom that she is. She is the Libra babe to my Scorpio. I am so thankful for her.

I love that shout out. Okay. And then number two, her second shout out. Happy birthday to my pal David.

David is a mutual fan of Lou's various musical endeavors, but more importantly, a very rad human and a good friend. In a great sense of humor. Just ask and tell him to be a mom and start to do. Cause he's seen how it goes.

Yeah. Oh, momma's ought to be honored too. It's true. Happy birthday, Chrissy and David.

And Morgan and us. Happy birthday, Chrissy. It's your birthday. Welcome to the new year.

You are the fine one shining like a diamond. Definitas are the native. Happy birthday, Chrissy and David from Morgan. Morgan, her.

Yes. This next one is from a, I don't know, felt really professional. I love it. I feel like I'm like a real show right now.

Amber's Zazbo. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Zazbo. Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Zazbo. Oh, yeah. Zazbo. Maybe something silent there like the S or the Z.

She says, turns out I set my request to a non-existent email address. Totally my mistake. I greatly appreciate your reply via Instagram regarding it. I hope that the upcoming tour to the UK Ireland and Scotland is magical.

Anyway, she's wishing herself a happy birthday. She was 48th, 48th on September 3rd. Yeah, this is a, because she had sent a birthday request to something, some serious place. Backtrack this one.

Yeah, this is September. This is a September girl, Amber. Amber, it's your birthday. Happy fucking birthday.

Welcome to go new year. You want to find one shining like a diamond. Come up to celebrate you. We're longer.

Hey. You deserve a good time too. Yeah. All right.

Yeah. This next one is from a guy who's been a fan for a long time. Okay. You know, like I see his name a lot.

I've seen it a lot over the years and I really like this guy's name. Oh my God. I was just going to say that. I like his name.

How could a person named Bill Bean not be awesome? It's not possible. Yeah. He was born awesome.

Billy Bean, William Bean. Bill Bean. He's a long time fan. This is now I'm reading his note to us.

Long time fan here, sub stack dude. So he's actually a subscriber to our sub stack. Thanks, Bill. That's a since uh.

I love the new gen. I love September. September sub 703. He has a fan since 703.

We met super quick and say Lewis a couple of times again. I know Casey. Yep. You were cool and kind both times.

You know you were a real fucking dick. But I love you anyway. Your songs have been with me a long time. A couple of things.

Birthday shout out. My birthday is October 18. Bill is an extraordinary fan. Can't believe he likes blue as he is.

He buys everything in the store. He does. Very thankful for his support. Bill, your name is cool.

Yeah. I know your name. They want you birthday. Happy fucking birthday.

Welcome to a new year. You're the fine one shining like a diamond. Take a nade a set of radio. You deserve a good time.

I wonder if people get sick of being complimented for their name. It's like more than my name. You know. Maybe they.

I don't think so. Maybe it's insulting. I think I knew someone else named William Bean who worked for merge records. So there was a little icon confused for a while.

I'm like is Bill Bean the same? Bill Bean that worked at merge records. And for a while I think I thought they were the same. I mean how many Billy Bean's gonna be?

Oh well his birthday was October 18th. Yeah. Hey, I got one. John Lubeki.

Lubeki. Lubeki. John Lubeki. L-U-E-B-K-E.

It says from a fellow music machine obsessive. No, you've got to play him that little collage you just made. Yes, I will. Play that for her.

This is for your birthday job. Music machine. If you're really an obsessive, you know. Yeah.

You've been repeating in my head that line. He had a birthday on October 11th. Yeah. Happy birthday, John.

He says he's listened to every podcast while walking his dog, Rooney. Yeah. She also had an October birthday. She turned nine on October 3rd.

Fascinates me when people know the birth date of their pets. John, he... He's listened to every podcast while walking his dog, Rooney. Oh, sorry.

I said that already. His dog named Rooney. I'm a broken record. Isn't that the name of the band that had that California song that you like?

No. Isn't that the band? No. Rooney?

No, that was Phantom Planet. Never mind. There was a band called Rooney. Yeah.

I know. Maybe they're still around. Don't they look cool? Rooney, yeah.

They looked like a little bit like a thousand thousand five-cast while he walks his dog. I don't... I presume then the dog cannot hear the dog. He hear the podcast because John would be wary.

Unless John walks around with a boombox blaring round-pressions. You know how some people like to listen to their music in public? I'm fine with that. I never feel like that's intrusive.

I mean, it is... I mean, it's making a decision for a lot of people. As far as we know, John Lupke is wearing... He's wearing airpods or headphones and not sharing round-pressions with everybody around him.

But I encourage anyone to do so. Maybe start doing that. Wow. Well, he also...

I was going to say to that end about walking around music. Also, my crotch hurts. My crotch hurts. My crotch hurts.

Oh, I'm sorry. That's leading into our next birthday shout out. I just want to say I don't mind it when people walk by with a boombox. It's when they stop.

Just keep it moving. Okay. So next one, Megan O'Malley. Megan O'Malley.

She would like to make a birthday shout out for her husband, Mike Crotcharts. Mike Rogers, right? Yeah. She wanted us to know that his name, Mike Rogers, could also be said Mike Crotcharts.

Oh my gosh, his birthday was October 19th. And even though he forgot to send an birthday shout out for me in June. Mike, forgot to celebrate. Megan in the raw impressions way.

Got to celebrate, Megan. Mike, how ever you... My kick in it. Now don't you feel like a piece of poo.

Like a crotchart. Oops, okay. Although he deserves the best birthday ever. She's your birthday, a raw impressions birthday.

Sarcastically delivered to you. Megan likes you. She still loves you. Doesn't think that you're a piece of poo.

No, mmm-mmm. She wants to. Mike Rogers. That was awkward.

Um, I would like to say the rest of Megan's message after we gave Mike such a... Oh, lashing for that one. Mike deserves the best birthday ever. At the risk of sounding cheesy, Mike is my rock and I am so grateful for him.

Thank you in advance for your wishes to him. I appreciate it and so will he. So... Um, our next visit is from.

It's from... It's from... Liz and Mark Paulson. Hello Adele, we're longtime listeners and fans from Malden, Massachusetts.

Our younger kid, Paolo. Be a... Oh, hello. His drinking tent and with love a birthday shout-out.

What? Paolo. Paolo loves baseball, video games, and guitar. Well, you sound pretty cool.

Paolo even saw a loop play in 2019 at Luka Park with Dinosaur Junior and Kurt Vile. That was a fun night. Wuka pork. Paolo Paulson, Papa's team was...

Whole police. Sinking Winnie, South of King and Fuzz. Mm-hmm. Paolo Paulson's got a baseball glove.

Sinking Paolo Paulson's something that I love. It's amazing. Paolo Paulson! Paolo Paulson.

Paolo Paulson. Paolo Paulson. Wuka pork. It's your birthday.

Happy birthday. Welcome to the new year, dude. Mm-hmm. Double digits.

Double digits. Double digits. One on a baseball diamond. Let's celebrate you.

Paolo Paulson. Paolo Paulson. Wuka pork. That show was really...

That was a really amazing show, Paolo Park. We got to have a date night that night, remember? Did we? Some of our early date nights?

Yeah, hey. Yeah. Hiya, Delon Lou. I would love to give a heartfelt birthday shout out to my dear friend and fellow Lou Barlow down at Junior Fan Jeff.

He's celebrating his 40th birthday on the 18th. 18th seems really popular. Phil had a few 18th's in there. I was going to send him a playlist of 40 songs that made me think of him, but quickly realized his awesomeness cannot be contained into just 40 songs.

He has a thousand love songs made flesh. So I leave it up to you, Lou and Del. Don't give him a big shout out. I know.

He has seen, appreciated, and loved. And then his 40s are going to be his best decade yet. American top 40 was a jam. They'd lose everything he thinks he is.

But Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, hey, Jeff, thanks for your fun. As Casey Keesom said, your number one. Number one last week, number one this week. Jeff.

Jeff. That's your birthday. Happy fucking birthday. Welcome to one new year, you.

You're the final and shining like a diamond. Found a date to seven. Made you. Take a whole day.

You shot it like a diamond. Full bird. Do you want to add more to that? No, I actually got every single word to that one in.

Oh. That was remarkable. Okay. Because so many of the other ones that there just wasn't enough time.

Oh, we're trying to, man, did not give us enough time. Oh, you make a note of it, sir. Make a note of it. Need to be longer there.

Those little interludes. I have to circle back to Liz and Mark real quick, because so their son, Paulo, during 10, always reminds me of one of my former co-workers in Pasadena. Alexa. Alexa.

Go down Alexa. Or not. Alexa is your, is our niece. She is our niece too.

I'm married into it. I'm married into uncle hood. What were you saying about Paulo? You were saying that around you.

Oh, so I had a co-worker. I worked at a store called Paper Source, and it's like a nationwide chain now. And the Pasadena locations on Colorado Boulevard still. And one of my co-workers, her name was Paola, and her son was Paolo, and they were from Panama.

Yeah. So it was pronounced like kind of more like Paola and Paolo. A lot of good piece. I love that name.

And so yeah, I... I love the papa pea. I feel so happy for him turning 10. How exciting.

Okay. And then Alexa, oh my goodness. So our niece, that's right. Wow, that's what happens when you join families, right?

You get aunts and uncles and nieces and nephews and cousins and things. And this is for our niece, Alexa, who just turned 21 this month, which is incredible. And she did a couple of amazing songs with Lou, and... You may remember her from such podcast covers as Unsatisfied by the replacements.

Stunning cover, yeah. Alexa and I kind of do that. Not do that exactly, but we sang it together. Yeah.

It's pretty good. It's pretty good too. It's pretty good. I was like, I didn't think I could pull that one off.

Yeah. And but she did a beautiful job. She hadn't heard the song really at all, right? She heard it in one day and then didn't absolutely stunning version of it.

Mm-hmm. Well, she's a wonderful human. We're so proud of her and everything she's doing. She's a junior in college at the University of Minnesota.

She's going to Italy in the spring for her study abroad. And she's just really turning into a really great human. So we love you, Alexa. Happy birthday.

Well, I guess that's it. Is that it? Is there anything else you want to travel back to any of these other birthday shout outs and if you don't need to meet... Did I not get enough in there?

A little rushed. Mm-hmm. A little rushed for a track, man. Oh, you can't know.

Are we pretending I'm not you? I think that was really nice. I think we got a lot of really good requests this month. Thank you all for sending them.

If you would like to do a birthday shout out, again, it's nice to you. You could write a little something that you want for your person, that you want the shout out or for yourself and give us the date. Email us at rawimpression's podcast at gmail.com. That's the way to send it.

So that's the preferred way. Do not send it another way. So I didn't hope for the YouTubers you like the little party hats that I got for the occasion. So yeah.

And then either today or tomorrow we'll be Halloween depending on when it just comes out. Who knows? And the nails are done, guys. Every fucking year there is a day.

The day that you were born and people say, you should get everything you fucking want. But no one really knows what you want. I should turn this into a Halloween version. Who's this?

I know what you want. I know what you want. Ticks and treats? A shout out for your birthday.

Happy fucking birthday. Welcome to a new year. You? Okay.

You're a fan. One. Shine it like a diamond. Take a day or a month to celebrate yourself.

Vincent Price. That was my Halloween voice. Very ghoulish of you. Oh, I'm scared.

The next one thing about is he playing Halloween songs? She's been playing Halloween songs for two to three weeks at this point. And I've gained new appreciation of several Halloween classics. Yeah, front and back.

She's got him down. Monster Mash is great. Oh, so good. Sometimes I feel like someone's...

What is that song? Somebody's watching me? Yeah. Rockwell?

Yeah. With the classic cameo by Michael Jackson. My god, I almost said Michael J. Fox.

Michael J. Jackson's option. Mm-hmm. Michael J.

Mm-hmm. Michael J. Fox was Teen Wolf though. That's creepy.

Wow. Stay safe. And don't eat too much candy. And remember, you can never stay safe.

You're never. Great. You're never safe actually. You're never safe.

I don't know. I'm glad you're here at all. So happy birthday. Meet Shark Cryoglow, the new MedSpa inspired mask with under eye cooling, IQ LED technology using high powered LED and deep infrared for visible results in just eight weeks.
