ACAST. ACAST.com. Hello. How are you?
It's Tiny Tunes Tuesday. Terrifying, tiny. All your tunes are tiny, Lou. Tiny Tunes Tuesday.
They're tiny little troubadour. But you can play this time. I hope you didn't already play it. Maybe you did.
Maybe you did. You know what that is? Hmm. That's the voice in my head.
Oh. It's a fucking asshole. He's a little rude. He's kind of like, that was dickish.
Mm-hmm. That was kind of dickish. He wasn't speaking kindly. No.
I've had a little bit much of him lately. Yeah. Can his brother come visit or something? Like the kinder, gentler version?
That's me. I'm here already. Okay. I thought I would just invite him on just because I kind of think that I need to bring him out to the open.
It's Halloween. Not yet, but it's coming. Well, that's me. That's the scariest thing.
Mm-hmm. That's the scariest thing to me. To commemorate Halloween, I would bring out the scariest thing, which is the voice in my head. I'm getting in the spirit around here, aren't we?
We even picked up some pumpkins. We did pumpkins. We went to a local corn maze, Mike's Maze in Sunderland, Massachusetts, and I don't know, ran around. Max Maze!
Max Maze! You'll be in a maze. You'll be in a days. You'll be in a days for Max Maze.
Digital theme this year. AI was the theme of the maze this year. Oh, yeah. I was only half paying attention to that.
Sorry. You turn a corner and you'll be like, oh, it's an old MIMAC. Yeah, they just sit in a cornfield. In a cornfield.
Well, they give the maze a theme every year. And this year, I guess, yeah, I was like, what is AI? What's it known to us? Is it a part of our life?
People were like really into it. They were around with their little note. Flipboards. Flipboards.
Like, you know, marking off the things that they saw. Yeah, they give you a map and then they give you questions for each different station that you have to find in the maze. We were there with our friend Alexis and little kids. Little kids.
Little kids. It was time for the clipboard stuff. They saw this kid in their class, the kid that plays drums during the all schools. And they saw him and they just kind of, they didn't, they wanted to run directly to him.
But he's probably twice their size. He's just exciting to see someone from school and they're like, look, I'm the exciting kid. Yeah, so mostly I just followed Izzy and Amy. Yeah, you were just like, okay, trying to keep up.
And we were just sort of like, you know, shuffling behind. Like, do we do these answers? I don't know. I'm not really good in those situations with Buckling down.
It's kind of like taking a test. I just kind of go blank. If I'm not really prepared, like I haven't done my cards. What are those?
My flash cards? I was, I'm already thinking. I mean, I've been mics. You already don't doubt.
Yeah, exactly. I'm a middle-aged man with a seven-year-old in a public space. There's really funny stuff there though. It's like they just cut these enormous industrial tubes and they like hook it up to like a platform and they're like, yeah, that's a slide.
I like that. And you're like, holy shit. It's a pretty good slide. It's a great slide.
But the bottom of it, they've also then like just nailed down some, I don't know what it was. It wasn't dangerous. Oh, and that's dangerous. But the way you're describing it, I just want to make it clear to listeners that it's not dangerous.
Yeah, you can go to mics. It's super fun. I'm just simply saying that it's like very crafty. It's like, hey, we've made a slide out of an enormous industrial tube.
I like innovation. I like ingenuity. That's farmland ingenuity. That's the kind of ingenuity.
Well, Lexus and I were joking that our yards should have those things. Yeah, this isn't song. Oh, mensin. Oh, and five notes.
This can spunky, he's on home. But you know, there can be one straight up. I don't know, you do it again. Look down.
Look at these harsh dreams to go around. Getting candy, getting sweets, they're just sweet. Little sweet. Look out with the same candies.
Keep all hands down. Some people are like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Well, every other channel is fighting for your customer's attention. Podcasts are where they've already given it.

A couple of weeks ago. What the hell? It's Izzy actually playing the keyboard. She played that.
That's her playing keyboard. Yeah, she was just, she chose all of the presets. She like, what? And I put a mic in front of her and she was, I don't want to say she was mashing her fingers on the keyboard, but she was kind of just, she was freeform and she was feeling it.
That's all her. That's insane. Yeah. And then she just, and I put a mic in front of her and she just started improvising.
And that was, I mean, she did this for 15 minutes. That's a clip of it. That's a clip. Okay, what?
That's the Halloween part of it, so. Holy shiz. I was like, I didn't know that I birthed the cocktail twins, PJ Harvey, Susie Sue. Like all, that's insane.
That was badass. You liked it. She's so experimental. You've always said that about her.
Yeah, she was into it. And yeah, that's obviously her song about Halloween. Wow, that was really flipping cool. Yep, she was using my.
Oh, wow. I'm still just sort of like, why did this happen? I don't, where was I? Where were you?
Bye, making dinner. How are we making dinner? Yeah. Is he now we're spending quality time?
That's quality time with daddy. Do you want to jam? He is. He's good to the sizes.
I know. I got Hendricks to do it a little bit with me a couple months ago. Yeah, he likes to pop up here and poke around. He's, he discovered effects twin for himself.
So he's. Yeah, yeah, that's true. He's been into that. You're looking like you're ready to play a song for me.
I'm not ready. For everyone. I'm not ready. No, I have to be instructed to do so.
Oh, I mean, should I? It's on. Commence the up on the sky of notes. Try to keep her down beside.
Last night I set her free. Free to let her spirit climb. Left my choke and stare behind. Maybe if her will could grow.
She might feel the knee to the. Dying in my shadow. Dying, I could ever let her be herself. A simple reflection on me.
Will I ever set her free? Will I love to shut her up and break the spirit? I don't understand. Even as we're walking hand in hand, my mind cuts her up.
And he will wait to build me strong. Sad judge and so uptay. It's too bad I'm so hung on. And the question when I know the answer right.
I ask me if I love her as I tell her it's all right. When nothing in my life could fit. I turned into a midi-year. Empire, training her desire.
Empire, Smo-be-do with love. Nothing in my life would fit. I turned into a midi-year. Empire.
How fitting? Vampire. Vampire. By Sabato.
Sabato. Sabato. Sabato. Sab-bad-do.
Sab-a-doh. What albums are off of? Oh shit, you're going to say that name. Well, I'm going to say it.
Actually, it was originally on something called Rocking the Forest. Oh, I like that. OK, let's say that. Then later compiled with another EP called Sabato versus Helmet onto an album, a domestically released album entitled, why don't you say it?
No. It'll help you. I hate it. Just like me inviting my voice in my head into our session today, I think you can probably come to terms with this title that drives you crazy.
I'll never come to show you. I hate it. It's just so violent. It's kind of one of the best titles of any record that I've done.
It's titled, Eric Gaffney. This is something that when he was a kid, a young punk rocker in East Hampton, Massachusetts, he and his punk rock friends, sometimes maybe somebody would drive by. And roll down their window and yell this out the window at the young punkers. They yelled this at them?
Yeah. Smash your head on the punk rock. OK, I like the story with it. But yeah, go smash your head on the punk rock, Devo.
Oh, it's just a terrible visual. And they tell me it just gets all twisted. I can feel it when I tell it to you. Because I can see you and I can see the image in your brain.
I physically feel it. Smash my rock. I can't shush. I don't.
I'm very sensitive to imagery and words and things. And yeah, anyway. That'd be pretty funny. You could actually go as a Sabato fan for Halloween and with a big, like a conclusion on your head and blood coming down the face.
And carry. That's absolutely fucking disgusting. I would never do that. Carrying a bloody rock.
You'd be like, well, what are you? You'd have an old Sabato shirt on or something. No, don't say again. What are you holding?
I'm holding the punk rock. Oh, gosh. I'm holding the bloody punk rock. Then I have smashed my butt.
No. Beep. I'm not sure. Today, we've actually done a Del night debated this all day whether it actually have already performed that song.
We just can't remember. We can't remember. We played vampire already, guys. And then you said something funny.
You were like, maybe it's just because I saw you live a bunch and you just told that. You played that song and told the story. I didn't say it like that. You didn't say it that way, but there is a story.
Just like I didn't say that the tunnel was dangerous. It makes me's everyone. OK, I just want to be clear. I did think it was a little handcrafted.
I'm just like, but. What could be better than an amusement park? Just a handcrafted something. You know, we got an amusement park out back.
You want to check it out? Well, it's a one new jersey that's actually park. There you go. It's not action park, everyone.
It's a lot safer than action park. You get maybe next weekend or last weekend. So. But there is a story that goes with that song.
Yes. Well, and I. True. True.
The story? Will we hear the story? I don't know. It's kind of intense story.
It's kind of an intense story. Yeah. It's scary. Not Halloween, scary.
Hey, those are Christmas bells. You know, I thought of today. The Christmas bells actually sound like change. They can sound.
I could have slowed it down and they could have sound like change being driven. Yeah, you're in a haunted house, right? A dungeon. Yeah.
You dragged in a dungeon. Fun. I love the last time a friend told you about something they loved. Different feeling, right?
