Okay. Hey, this is Mike Wiebe from the Riverboat Gamblers, and I'm hanging out with the toughest fifth grader in the world. And you're listening to Sound Scene Revolution right here on the computer.

♪ music ♪

We're here this week with a brand new interview from Riverboat Gamblers. Actually, it's Mike. And I think there was some other guy from Riverboat Gamblers passed out on the couch in the room. I don't remember his name. Maybe Jesse. Maybe not. I don't know. But in case you weren't listening last week, we have a contest still running for the guys in Fake Problems. We're giving out a 7-inch and a t-shirt. T-shirt comes in large. T-shirt's also designed by artwork mogul internet phenom Mitch Clem, who designs a couple of comics that people like, and now he designs posters. So it'll be like owning a little piece of Mitch Clem. A little piece inside you, maybe. I don't know. But in the meantime, before we do all that, we have a Riverboat Gamblers interview.

And we have four, two lucky winners who enter this week. We'll tell you how to win at the end. One winner will get a copy of the Riverboat Gamblers to the Confusion of Our Enemies CD. And then one winner will get the To the Confusion of Our Enemies CD. And a 7-inch that contains two songs from the To the Confusion of Our Enemies sessions that were not on the album. We also have a t-shirt. Do we have a t-shirt? What size is the t-shirt?

Because if the t-shirt's a large, we may not have a t-shirt. It's a large? Fuck, but I've already mentioned it now. Let me see. Ah, I got enough black t-shirts. Alright, and we have a t-shirt that is a large. So one person will be getting a CD, one person will be getting a Riverboat Gamblers CD, t-shirt, and a 7-inch. So that's a pretty good prize package right there. So be sure to listen and find out how to enter at the end of this interview. Before that, though, we have the interview and we have some songs. We're going to play some tracks off of To the Confusion of Our Enemies. The first track we're going to play is The Art of Getting Fucked. Because it's a great song and it's like, it's kind of a showstopper.

But we're going to play it to the first part of the show and hopefully it's not a showstopper. Enjoy and we'll catch you guys in a little bit.

What's going on? We are hanging out at The Catalyst with Mike from Riverboat Gamblers. Hey, this is Mike from the Riverboat Gamblers. And Ian's sick asleep on the couch over there. You probably won't hear him, but he's waved at the microphone. You can imagine it. We'll try not to disrupt Ian too much. It sounds like there's been a lot of sickness on this tour I was reading about. Man, it's been a really, really sick tour. I don't know where it came from, but somewhere up north where it's really cold. You know, all three bands are from hot, tropically warm, humid Texas and Florida. So, I think the cold really threw all of us for quite a loop. Because within a week we went from Florida up to, we were up in Vermont and Canada.

But I have high hopes that everybody's going to be well really soon. The farther south that you guys go. Yeah, well, we're going back up north again, but I think, like, I don't know. I'm just trying to be positive. Yeah. Whoa. Whoa. Sound Guy and everyone's about to take a picture of sick Ian on the couch. And I just waved him off for a fucking ounce of humanity. The guy's on the couch passed out and you're like, photo off. So, yeah, how much longer is this tour? It's like, what, a few more bands? Oh, let's see here. Let me get my laminates. Ooh, you guys have official tour laminates. Man, you know, I used to think laminates were so cheesy, but I love them now. I think, like, because I can't ever, I don't even know what tomorrow is.

I can tell you tomorrow you're in Nevada. We're in Sparks, Nevada. I'm stalking. Let's see. Between four, I don't know, it looks like a couple more weeks. 24 to 4-7. 4-7, so yeah. So I can't do math that quick in my head, but it's a couple weeks. Yeah. And then, oh, so you end right before Easter. Yes. Where, like Jesus, you will be rising. You will die and rise from the dead. Yeah, I like that. That's not at all sacrilegious. And then we'll all have eggs, colored eggs. Which is, it ties in somewhere to the Jesus. There it is. And Scientology. And Scientology. Were you here for that? We had mentioned Scientology earlier, and I didn't know. No, but I'm absolutely a huge fan of Scientology. I'm fascinated. I kind of want to become a member, but I just, I got, like, it costs too much, and I have shit I have to do later than that day.

Like, inevitably, I'll need to clean something rather than, go Scientology. Yeah, then, like, you know, sometimes, I like going really far for a joke, but I think it might be going a little too far for that joke. Eh. I think it's okay. So, what I'm gathering is you're not yet a Scientologist. Not yet. My Thetans are still. We'll get your, you know. So, I don't even know. I know they believe that we're aliens, so. Yeah, aliens, aliens, souls trapped in, trapped in human bodies. I've got a fucking interview with Scientologists. That's what this interview is telling me right now, is I've got to find them. I don't think you'll get too much out of them. Once I tie them up. Yeah. Pokers. Let's use the genital cuffs.

Those, we keep those, just in case. Yeah. But, I want to ask, you guys have the album out recently, it came out last year, right, To the Confusion of Our Enemies? Mm-hmm. Now, I don't want to, I feel like such a dick for starting it off on that, but one of the things I keep hearing is a lot of people say it's, like, overproduced. They're like, oh, it sounds too overproduced, and the production's too much, and how do you guys feel about that? Who are these people? They're people that don't have names, that feel that it's okay to criticize. I'm guessing they're people with computer access, and a lot of time on their hands, and very little projects of their own. When they're not looking for it. You know what?

It is, I don't know if it's overproduced, it is more produced than anything we've ever done before, and we went into it thinking, this is gonna, we went into it to try and walk that line between raw and, you know, and gritty like we've done before, and more produced. Like, some bands that whenever I went into it, that I was, like, looking towards, was, like, the sound of, like, and I'm not saying we achieved this at all. I'm just saying this is what I wanted, was kind of like Queens of the Stone Age and Rocket from the Crypt, and those are, like, big bands that I think are, are produced, but still really raw. Yeah. And that's what we were going for, and that's kind of the direction the band has, has been heading in, and is going, and, uh, you know what?

Like, I, I, you know, I can, I understand that, you know, you can keep writing the same record forever, and maybe keep that same core group of fans, or you can try and be an artist, and, uh, I know that sounds kind of pretentious, but you can try and be an artist, and, and, you know, just expand, and try new stuff, and do new, and that's, that's what we wanted to do, and, uh, with this band, and, uh, that's what we did, but yeah, I mean, it's, it's, I'm not gonna fight anybody and say that it's not more produced, but I personally am legitimately happy with the, that, we, I'm trying to walk that line, we're trying to walk that line, and there's, you know, there's differences in the band, like, some people in the band would maybe have it more produced, and some of us maybe would have it less, but trying to walk that line between gritty and raw and tough, and then still, you know, polished and stuff like that, so, and I'm, I'm pretty happy with where, where we got on this record.

Cool, cool. I, it seemed to work for me, I like this. But I'm, what the fuck do I count for, so, um. Well, you, you know. I'm here. You're here, you're here, you do, you do, everyone counts, you know. If you buy the record, I think it counts, so. Yeah. Um, I wanna ask, what prompted, uh, Unicorn, Shave Your Horn to make the album? It's, it's probably the standout track of the album. Yeah, uh, that's, uh, Sean Doe from Throw Rag, uh, singer Throw Rag, and he's just a buddy of ours, and we think he's really funny and strange, and we just kinda had him come in and riff and stuff, and, uh, I, we just kinda, I don't know, like, I, I always liked on Beastie Boys records how, um, uh, like, half the things they, like, rap about or talk about, like, are these total inside jokes, and, like, maybe you kinda figure out what they are later.

And I just kinda like stuff, sometimes it's kinda like non-sequitur, and that doesn't, like, you know. I thought it was just, like, a really funny moment at that time, and I think we all, we all just kinda, like, we just thought it was, you know, it made us laugh, so, maybe, but it's kinda funny, the reaction to that is either, like, that is so great, or a lot of people tell us, like, my daughter, my son thinks, like, loves it, like, their kids love it, and then, and we've had a lot of people go there, it's so stupid, I have to click track, you know, it's, it's on, I have to push a button, yeah, I have to push a button, I skip that one every time, well, whatever. Dude, you should, I'm, just start off the next album with that track, like, don't alter it at all.

That's gonna be the whole record, it's just Sean Doe, the next Riverboat Graham Blues record, it's just gonna be Sean Doe improvisationally singing. I, I would buy that. Yeah. I, I don't know why, but I think that would be, I think it's gonna be a hit. I think it's gonna be a hit, probably sell more records than we are now. I'd, eh, I'd buy it, so, but, uh, I wanna ask, you guys have been playing, you've had the chance to play with a lot of really big, well-respected bands, Joan Jett, Henry Rollins, has there been one that really, like, either you really, really admired, or, like, went really exceptionally well? Um, well, for me, X was a really, really big one, uh, I really just love playing with them every night.

Do what? MC-5. MC-5, yeah, MC-5 was really amazing. Um, uh, I think all of them have been really cool, and, uh, we've taken, we've taken little, I don't even know what you call it, just little, kind of osmosis, you kind of soak in a little bit of, of all that, just little things they do that makes, make them great, and, and try and emulate it ineffectively on our part, but still, nonetheless, like, uh, it's been really cool, but, but X was a really, really big deal to me, like, I've got really close with, with, uh, John, Doe, and, uh, that was, I don't know, learn, he's, like, a real great guy, I really love him. That's cool. Yeah. You guys think we'll ever have a chance to play with him again, or? I don't know, it's kind of up in the air, I don't know what X are doing, but we would definitely jump at the chance to play with him again.

If they're listening, I'll... Yeah, let him know. We'll let him know, yeah. Yeah. I probably won't ever see them, they're, they probably wouldn't talk to us. Oh, I don't know, they're pretty cool. Oh. I, if you like them, you seem like a good judge of kids. Yeah. So, meh, I'll soak up to you at least during the air, I'll wait, I'll wait until later, and I'm like, ah. But, uh, so, I was reading, now, was it South by Southwest you guys were going to play on the same area as Yoko Ono, or? We were supposed to, it was, it was the biggest case of blue balls we got, uh. We were supposed to play a show that had both Yoko Ono and this rap group from Houston called UGK, that it's like, there's this rapper Bun B and this other rapper Pimp Seed, these like old school Houston guys that have like influenced all these other rappers.

Oh, yeah. And it was like, we were so stoked, it was going to be like the awesome, most awesome, weirdest lineup ever, and both of them canceled. Oh. And so, we, it was, it was still fun, it was still cool, and Puma's been very good to us, but it was a bummer, because I wanted to, I don't know, I just wanted, I wanted a group shot with me, Bun B, Pimp Seed, and Yoko Ono. Yeah, yeah. All with bottles of Cristal. I think that would have been, that had to be the cover for your next album. Yeah, yeah, that would have been. But I'd like to also note, I think that's the only time the phrase blue balls and Yoko Ono have been used in the same sentence. Yeah. But you still played, like, you played South by Southwest, right?

Yeah. Did you play more than one show, or just one? We played four shows. In two days? In two days. Jesus. It was tough, and that was like at the height of my sickness. I was in bad shape, so it wasn't a very fun South by for me, but we made it through, and it was, we made it through. I'll just say that, we made it through, we made it through. That's as far as you had to. Got the Golden Shovel Award, we dug real deep. Ah, I like that. That's an against, I stole that from against me. You stole that from against me? I can't take credit for that. That's all right, don't worry. Lots of people steal from against me. Yeah, we will be doing that too. Yeah. On our next record, I'll tell you that. I watch them every, just about every night and go, yeah, that's a riff I should probably steal.

We're using that. Yeah, let's use that. That's good, just put, like, all you gotta do is like, before Snakes on a Plane came out, you've heard of the Snakes on a Plane, Samuel L. Jackson movie? Yeah, yeah. Some B-rate movie theater put together a movie called Snakes on a Train and released it straight to DVD. Yeah, yeah. So, they got, like, New Wave coming out in, like, June or something. All you gotta do is take as much shit as you can and put together an album before that. Yeah. We'll be like the Roger Corman of music. Like, it doesn't even need to be good. Yeah, yeah, totally. Just out beforehand. So, I'm gonna let you think about that. Yeah. Just remember where you got that deal. Yeah, I'll have to. I can't do that.

Steal that, exactly. Yeah, that one's free. The next round, I may charge. But, um, I actually wanted to ask, you and Against Me were on the Rolling Stone Top 25 live bands? Yes, we were. And you were? No, it was actually Spin. Oh, it was Spin. Yeah, yeah. I don't read those, but you were actually higher than Against Me. Now, do you guys, is that a point of contention, or do you guys even acknowledge that? Uh, no. I don't think, I'm so honored to be on that list. And, uh, because we were a little bit higher, but, uh, I think Against Me can rest happy in the fact that they sell way more records than we do. I think we're the lowest record-selling band on that list, but, uh, that's okay. It was cool, though. You know what?

Just to be on that list was pretty awesome. Yeah, that was a bad one. Because I don't, I think it's, I definitely watch Against Me in awe every night, and, uh, I would never, I would hate to try and rate them. I would put against me, I'm not, I'm too close to this band to say where anything would go, but if I was putting a list, I would put Against Me a lot higher on that, because I think they're one of the best live-sounding bands I've ever, ever seen. Well, I mean, you guys were, you and Against Me were both on that list with bands like My Chemical Romance. Yeah. By bands that have huge light shows and pyro mechanics and costumes and shit. Yeah. I think it speaks to, like, both of your levels of live performance that would- Yeah, it's really cool.

Shit like that. It was very, very, very honoring, very flattering. Cool, cool. Okay, so we're going to take a quick break from the interview there to bring you some more music by the Riverboat Gamblers and to remind you to listen to the end of the show to learn how you could enter to win a CD, a 7-inch, and a t-shirt from the Riverboat Gamblers and the Fine Folks at East West, alright? But before we do that, we've got more interview where we talk about things like the Civil War, the comic book, not the actual Civil War. We all know how that one kind of went. War of Northern Aggression says it all. Oh, God. Ah, but anyhow, so we talk about the Civil War, what it was like being robbed, and all of that fun goodness.

Before we do that, we're going to play another track off their album, To the Confusion of Our Enemies, called The Biz Loves Sluts. I don't know if it's actually loves, it's hearts, sluts. It's about the music industry. Check it out and be sure to listen at the end to find out how to get some free shit.

to come up again. You guys have been, I don't want to say labeled or pigeonholed, but it keeps seeming to come up like comic books and that kind of, like almost nerdy childhood. Yeah. Now, how big a part was that really in your life, and does it seem to get kind of like more overblown in interviews and with press and stuff? I think, you know, I don't know if it is for the whole, it is for me a lot. Like, I was really, really into that kind of stuff. I think Pat, like our bass player, our bass player Pat's like really cool. Like, he's a really cool guy. Anytime, like, I remember like one time, like, we were, it was like some morning, and we and we were up in a hotel room, and like Buffy the Vampire Slayer was on, and I was watching it, but I was like trying to be kind of cool and like not act like, like, the TV's just kind of on.

And Pat walks in, and he looks at it, he's like, what is this fucking shit, werewolves? Fuck. Like, so stupid. And I just kind of like, I kind of like roll my eyes, like, yeah, I know. Werewolves, stupid. But deep inside, I'm like, I want to see how Buffy handles this. Because how's, how's, how's she going to get Xander out of this, this pickle? But definitely I am. I think actually the other guys are quite a bit cooler than me, and had more success with, with women and stuff like that. But since I write a bunch of the words, I get a, I get a, it comes out a little bit more, and my friends bring me things like the Tomb of Dracula, collected, essential 60s Marvel comic over there. That's fucking sweet, though.

Yeah, I think so. I think so. Dude, so have you gotten a chance, I don't know if you still read it, but have you had a chance to check out the Civil War at all on Marvel? You know what? We, our, our drummer got really sick on this tour. He was the first casualty of the great throat aids and of the Against Gambling Problems tour, and I spent a, I spent a large portion of the, a sick day that he was recuperating in a Borders, just sitting there reading some Civil War, yeah, Marvel stuff, yeah. Interesting, very interesting. Will the universe ever, ever be the same? I don't, I don't know. It's hard to say. I don't know, it's hard to say. But did you have like a favorite comic growing up or anything? It's probably not too, you know, I was just really into X-Men, I think, mostly at the time, especially like, this was like pre-movies and pre-cartoons and all that stuff, and it kind of felt.

The orange costumes and shit. Yeah, yeah, it kind of felt like it was more, I don't know, a little bit more subversive and a little bit more underground. I don't know that it was, maybe it's just because I was a kid and that's because of where my level was, but I didn't, it definitely wasn't like a household kind of name or anything at the time, so it seemed a little bit more special and a little bit more, I don't know, more mine, you know, I had this really small group of friends that were into it and stuff, but. That's cool, though. Yeah. I mean, see, now they're like huge and everywhere. Now they're huge, yeah. If you had any of those old comics. I have some, but I didn't take very good care of them, I was more.

You read them. I read them over and over again and I would try and trace them, you know, try and draw them and stuff like that. And as I got a little bit older, I took better care of it and stuff. But now I'm kind of just more into like trade paperbacks so I can not feel as guilty about reading them over and over and stuff. Now you guys, I'm assuming you probably all work nine to fives when you guys are off tour and back home and whatnot. Do you think it'd probably be like more or less stressful if your livelihood depended on music? Like you got to do something maybe that you love, but you know, you're. We're like, we're actually like half. We're like, it's like half, half our livelihood is music, which is, at least mine is anyway.

I think some of the, I, I've sort of amassed some debt and stuff and some of the other guys have, I think, figured out a way to live a little bit cheaper to where they pretty much are kind of doing music full time. But I've got just stupid debts and stuff that I have to pay off. But I don't know. It'd be nice. I don't know. We're definitely, that's the goal is to try and try and do that to, to just, just do music full time. You know, it'd be nice to get up and just work on that every day and not have to worry about getting someone to cover my shift or whatever, you know. That makes sense. I got to ask, I read a story about, I think it was you that had to take a pee test at your job. Oh yeah. Is that, now I'll, we'll link the story.

That's a true story though? Yeah, it's a true story. Did now, you ended up, you ended up, did the, you passed? Oh, I passed. Yeah. Really? Or my neighbor's pee passed.

Oh, it's, it's a good story. And I don't feel like making you retell it, but we'll, we'll link it. Yeah. Yeah. I just, I read that and I was like, that can't be a real story. Yeah. Yeah. It was a good time. No, I'm just, you don't still work there. Are there you going to? No, that was back in Denton. We all, that was, uh, we live about three and a half hours South in Austin now. Oh, okay. Okay. And, uh, yeah, that, yeah, I, I don't, I don't really actually get into trouble like that too much. And now the job, now I never smoke pot at all. And, uh, and I probably could at work like on the clock and it wouldn't be a big deal, which is just kind of my luck, you know, now's the time to start. I know, now's the time to start, but I get so, I get so little done on a daily basis, drug free, like just, just with like my normal attention deficit disorder.

Like I, I get so little done that I really need no more vices. If you were high, it would just be terrible. Yeah, exactly. I would get, get negative things done. More things. I would create more. Yeah. Yeah. Just for me. I would start new projects that I can't. You wouldn't do. Yeah, I wouldn't do. Start undoing stuff. Yeah, yeah, start, yeah. What are you doing? I'm just make, putting dirt on dishes. Why? Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm high. It's what I do. So I'm folding my clothes. Yeah, just throwing them on the floor. Got nothing better to do. So how many times have you guys been robbed on tour? Like every time it seems like I read some about you, it seems you're getting robbed. No, it's just that, actually, I think just twice now has been the only real, we had one at home and they got into the trailer and then just one on this tour.

So really just twice. I don't, it sucks really bad, but to put a little bit of a positive spin on it, they could have got away with a lot more both times and didn't and, but a pox on their families. On their homes. Yeah, on their homes. Fair enough. I want to ask now, a lot of people, their first inclination whenever anyone's like, oh, they got robbed, they're like, well, they should have had fucking insurance. Is it even possible for a band like of this size to afford that kind of stuff or even get it? I don't know. I don't think, I think it is, but I mean, it's, but I don't know. Like I'd ask any band at this level if they have, I've never met another band that has insurance. I haven't. On that kind of thing, so I don't know.

We should probably try and look into it with the amount of time we're on the road and stuff. Yeah. I think I've ever met one guy that has his guitar insured and it was, you know, some like crazy, crazy guitar, but I don't know. Yeah. That's the thing is I don't think I've ever met a band who, you know, isn't selling out at least eight, nine hundred person shows who has insurance. It just doesn't happen. It's, yeah, I mean, I can barely afford insurance, you know, I need health insurance. Yeah. That's kind of, before your instruments and guitar, probably your own body is a good thing to get that intro. Especially because my voice is my instrument. That's your money maker. That's my money. The face. Right here.

And my whole, yeah. The sex appeal. All right. I think we are going to wrap it up. I want to ask before we do though, you guys got anything coming up in the future? Any recording plans? Anything you want to push? Anything like that? Well, we just did a new video that's up on YouTube and MySpace for Don't Bury Me, I'm Still Not Dead. And we're really happy with how it came out. And we're going to continue this tour with Fake Problems and Against Me. And I think the plan is we're going to get home and start writing some new songs. We played one tonight and it was fun to play a new song because we haven't done much since the record came out. So I think the plan is to go into kind of like writing mode and start writing some new stuff.

And then, I don't know, hopefully some tours in the summer and bring our fun-filled family extravaganza to every two-bit town from here to Tukumcari. From Kalamazoo. From Kalamazoo to Tukumcari. All right. And I think I'm going to write a Tony Award-winning play about a girl that moves to the big city and learns how to laugh and how to love. But that's me. That's in my spare time. I don't think anyone's ever done that. And maybe I'll turn it into a theme album. Actually, we're going to do a, in all seriousness, we're supposed to do a live record. And I'm not sure. I think that's going to happen sometime this summer. But it's not, I don't think it's going to be like a normal, a normal live record. It's going to be more of like a, like a special, like studio where we'll have a few people come in and, I don't know, maybe have like an emcee.

I want to, I want to try and get like, seriously, I want to have like a, like a, I don't know, like a, like a Hugh Hefner, like Dean Martin announcer type guy. I want to do, I don't want to do like a standard live record. I want to do, I want to do something that's a little bit more interesting than like a regular live record. If you do that, I want to be there. You invite me. Okay. Book me up. You can find me on the internet. Just internet me. I, I'd love, I don't know, I, I, I can't, I don't want to say who, but I've got a couple people that I'm really, really hoping might come in and do it. Some interesting guests, artists and stuff like that, that might come in and, and, and play on it. So we'll see what happens.

I'd like to see that. That sounds like it'd be at least if nothing else, a lot of fun. Yeah. Totally. Good luck on that. All right. Yeah. Well, I want to thank you for taking the time. I want to thank you guys. Thank you. No, no one ever thanks us. Yeah. That's, that's right. It's a thankless profession. Well, everyone thanks us, but you don't listen to us. I don't listen to other people. Thank you. All right. All right, man. Have a good one. See you guys later.

What's going on? That wraps up the interview for this week. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Mike was really, really nice and very handsome. And that's all I have to say about that. Like I had mentioned, we have a contest. Here is the contest. Two people enter. Or, well, hopefully lots of people enter. Two people win. One person wins a CD.

If you have a fucking home, send us your home address. If you have a fucking P.O. box because you're afraid people on the internet are going to find you, give us your P.O. box. I don't really give a shit. I don't care if you give me your best friend's address. Give me your fucking best friend's address. I'll go rob him. Just give us your address because we are not sending this shit to people if you don't give us your address. If you don't give us your address, we will, like, write you like you won. We'll be like, oh my god, you totally won the contest. And we'll get your address from you that way. And then I'm going to mail you a bag of my urine. Alright? Frozen. Frozen. With holes in the bag. So by the time you get it, it's defrosted and soaked into the box.

And you're just going to fucking get a big puddle of piss on yourself. So, do not mail this shit without your address unless you want a bag of my urine. Which, maybe you do. We're going to get more contests with no address in this than any other contest. People are stoked to get my fucking urine. But, oh, to make sure you were listening. And the subject of the email, along with your name and address and all that good shit. But, send us, include, so we know you were listening, the Ribbo Gamblers. We talked about comics. Talked about how important they were in Mike's life. We even talked about the Civil War a little bit. The comic. But, uh, so what I want you to do is include your favorite comic book character.

Hell, it doesn't even need to be your fucking favorite. I don't know if you're lying. Just put one down. But chances are, if you put, like, something like, I don't know, something shitty like the Green Lantern. I'm going to know you're fucking lying. I mean, nobody likes the Green Lantern. Does the Green Lantern have a fucking movie about him? No. Even fucking Ghost Rider had a movie about him. Granted, it had Nicolas Cage and it blew shit. But there was a fucking Ghost Rider movie. And that's what matters. So, don't give me some hokey line of crap. Now, maybe if you like Preacher or fucking Spawn. I don't know. Or, you know, some underground comic. Not Spawn. But some underground comic that doesn't have a movie.

That makes sense. But don't give me some shitty third-rate comic that wasn't good enough for a fucking movie. That, like, failed. Like, there was some NFL character in the fucking late 90s. And don't give me fucking Kiss. Just because they had a comic book doesn't mean they should have had one. Don't give me Insane Clown Posse. Nobody really likes Insane Clown Posse. Insane Clown Posse doesn't like Insane Clown Posse. They go to sleep every night hating themselves. But that's not the point. Give me your favorite comic book character. We'll enter you in the contest. And maybe you'll win some really good shit. That wraps up this week's show. To send us out, we're going to play one last track by the Riverboat Gamblers.

It's called Black Nothing of a Cat. It's off to the confusion of our enemies. We'll be back for at least one more week. Because we have another interview already on stock and good to go. So we'll see you guys then. Enjoy it. And be good to each other. Some shit like that.
