Scatterbrain Podcast

Recording Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 199 with singer/guitarist Erik Payne of the old-school Florida-based death metal band Intoxicated was a blast!Their new album "The Dome" is an instant classic for any fan of heavy music, and something Erik said during the interview really stuck out: "I know I'm not the best in the room, but I also know I'm never the last to learn something new" ( I am paraphrasing, but that sums it up ). Well, as far as we are concerned, this band is writing some of the best heavy music on the planet right now. Erik is currently amongst the best metal songwriters "in the room", and can stand toe-to-toe with anyone. Don't believe us? Then just go listen to that album right now. Thanks for listening everyone!(c)2026 Scatterbrain Productions.Always.

This is the final interview ( Part 2 ) with the reptilian being named Lacerta that was supposedly recorded in April, 2000 somewhere in Sweden. Although this is, again, most likely total fiction, we again ask you to set aside your disbelief while listening and ask yourself, "Could this actually be true?"We doubt it, but it's a fun listen anyway.(c)2025 Scatterbrain Productions.Always.

OK, so this is a trip.This is audio from the transcript of an interview with a "Terran Reptilian" being named Lacerta that was posted on a Swedish conspiracy website back in 2000. The first of two interviews, this was supposedly recorded on December 16th, 1999, and posted the following January, 2000. A second interview supposedly took place in April, 2000, and we will publish Part 2 as soon as we get our grubby little hands on it. This is obviously most likely total fiction, but set aside your disbelief while listening and ask yourself, "Could this actually be true?"True or not, this is super interesting!(c)2025 Scatterbrain Productions.Hail to our Reptilian overlords!
