Episode 5 - Come As You Aren't

Weird way media think mister Walders, see that guy with it? He's an actor by the driver. I only hello and welcome to night mister Walters a taxi podcast. I'm your co host HP with me as always is my co host, Father alone, Father alone? How are you tonight?

Good? I flew it on qantas just for this episode. That is a little taste of nugget an Easter egg, fatherom alone, that's fantastic. This particular episode that he is obliquely referencing is called come as You Aren't. This is episode five.

This was written by Glen char Arles and Les Charles and directed by Jimmy Burrows. And this is quite the rebound from the previous episode as well. We'll get into in a minute, and a reminder that we are going in broadcast order, not filming order this one. I'm happy to say this is the first to focus exclusively on Elaine Nardo, which I'm sure I'm fairly certain you're happy about as well as I was, Father Malone. Well, I love Eline Nardo.

She's my favorite. Also Mary Lou Henner Cacker Ring there. You know, look, I'm just a sucker for a redheaded girl with light eyes. I think you are too HB. Yes, she's fantastic.

I mean might be a total plague and just say this episode it was hard to concentrate for a large swath of it. She's gorgeous, there's no getting around it. Lane Nardo and the actress Mary lu Henner, She's fabulous, she's beautiful, she's funny, she's got acting chops for days. I'm not reducing Mary Lou Henner by the way to anything other than a fucking awesome performer, a fantastic actress and also very sexy there. And we can't forget that she has photographic memory, because she'll tell you about it.

You just you talk to her, and that's probably comes out within the first fifteen minutes. I've seen many mini shows up on Mary Lou Henna in her in her interview style dare you so? As I said, this is a this is a lame centered episode, which which I thought was fantastic. It's what I gotta say. At the beginning of the episode, I was kind of siding with the obnoxious passenger that she picked up.

I'll go into this, so it's just my way of summarizing the episode. At the beginning it's raining, cats and dogs in New York. It's night time. Oh it's in a horrible process shot. They have this process rain shot with a spotlight, this auburn spotlight.

It's only on the left side lighting the rain that they slap onto every exterior shot to let us know that it's raining at people walking down the street. Spotlight on the left, rain, cabby going down the street, spotlight on the left. Right. It's very distracting time to think of it. It begs the question, like, do we I'm thinking back through all the episodes, do we see the cabbies ever driving in the light of day?

Because these are the nightshift cabbies, right, I guess that makes sense, But how often do you see them driving in the daytime? I can't. I don't think we've seen one yet. But I know we're going no, but you didn't see you saw an exterior shot of like a like a helicopter tracking shot. We haven't seen like a rear projection or a blue screen.

That's what I'm saying, like them, because that's we may have seen shots of like somebody hailing a cab, like a like a generic b roll and they drive up, But that process shot where they're in the drive, her seat no windshield, and there's a cat, there's a passenger in the back. That never happens during the day. No, we certainly haven't seen one yet now, but we're talking really about Nardo's first customer. While she's waiting outside the the fucking gallery that she works at annoyingly as a as a receptionist. She's done her first window, right, this has done her first window display.

She's so proud of it. And then someone gets in her trab and she becomes the most annoying human being on the planet. Yeah, but but she's she's sort of gazing, you know, with this expression on her face as a wonderment at the art display that she's she's made for the art gallery. And the guy gets in. It's pouring out.

The guy just wants to get where he's going, so he says, can you can we go to the met And she says, oh, it's good that you you came here on a rainy night because I'm looking at this dart gallery window because you know, I work, I work at this art and he basically he's very polite. He just says, you know what, I'm really a in the mood for talking. Can we just go to the met? I just want to go to the met? And then she but she continues to yammer because she she I guess she feels like she has to explain herself.

I was really going on or anything, But here I'm going to continue to go on, right, And I agree with you already, HB. We're on this guy's side, like we just want to get where we're going. Sometimes we would rather not engage in conversation. But then his reaction to yammering, no matter how much yammering is going on, is out of hand. Who the guy in the car?

Yes, So he says, look, I don't know how better I can say with you. I don't want to talk. I just want to go to the met. And she says, oh, okay, now you charmed me into it, makes this backhand comment. Now they're driving, fucking screams at her how many times, but basically like, shut up, you fucking idiot, and drive, and she's like, okay, and does it.

I don't care how I'm being. If somebody shouted in that tone with me in my car, I don't think I would drive them two feet. I don't think i'd take my car out of park. But anyway, it has to happen because we need to pay off in the third act. But we continue, we're going to have to agree to disagree.

I watch that scene again and and he it's insanity. I'll rewatch it. But but again this it's pouring out. This guy's got it. I'm meeting he has to get to.

Maybe he's late. He's just like, look, I don't know what else I have to tell you of my cab. Then prick, Well, she should have done that, or he should have said, I don't have time for this, I don't need to listen to you. I'm gonna get another cab. Now he doesn't do that.

He instead chooses to scream at her to just do his bidding and shut the fuck up. Well, guess what pale this saying, this is New York, my friend. Now, then the problem is she's just driving him to the met doing best she can. And then he's like, I think you're trying to screw me or taking me the long way to like jack up the price, and she's like, no, I'm not. This guy's a dickhead.

William Boger is the actor bog everybody who's great. He plays a fantastic prick. You might remember him from Small Wonder four Games he's fucking Broderick's teacher and War Games, the actual sex guy. It's it's Matthew Broderick's dad. He's not a teacher, he's a dad.

Remember. The thing that I always remember is he goes this cord is raw. Remember the mother gives him the corn and he's like, oh, I can't wait, and he bites it and he's disgusted. That's William Bogertic. He's been in that.

He's been in everything from Baretta to The Wonder Years. He's he's fantastic. But yeah, but he's best known as mister Lightman in uh War Game. He's another classic, that guy Arsky and Hudge her fire Sale A Firesell, That that big old comedy troupe Extravagance in seventy seven, he's in the Fires. Well, oh my god, I do a whole special episode on fires.

I would love to. So he's this, you know, this, this jerk in the cab who is being abusive towards Elane. He wants to just get to where he's going. And as Father Malone just started to say. He he notices that he's going a different way, and he tries to he believes that Elaine is trying to jack up the fair by going a long way, and she's very she's nice.

She says, look, you know it's it's it's shorter this way because I think she says to me this traffic or something. And the guy just isn't having it. He just says, you know what, you know, No, this isn't my first trip to New York, thank you know. And then they get to where they're going and she says, well, that'll be two eighteen. No no, no, no, oh no, you've skipped the problematic middle part of this fucking sequence where she pulls over and basically says get out of the cab, and he says, no, legally, you have to take me to my destination, and she just starts yelling rape, and his counter his ripost if you will, well, I'm then I'm the head of the Gay Liberation Front.

No one will believe your rape charge, your casual rape charge in this comedy. Yeah, it's pretty bad. It's pretty bad. And then she and then and then on a basically a three dollar fair, he gives her a dollar and leaves. Then he leaves without the briefcase, and she doesn't keep the briefcase.

She just dangles it a little and makes him run for it. It's pouring out, is it? Or is there just a layer of amber lit to the side right on the very very dry looking bee roll of taxi shots in New York City, So we're led to believe it's pouring. So she makes him run for the briefcase and and she throws it out the window, and that that's that whatever. She had a bad night, and she gets to the garage and she confides, you know, she's kind of shrugging off or trying to shake off this, this awful episode.

And you think you had it bad. I had a Koala throw up in my cab. That's Wheeler. That that whole turn of events you had tonight was some guy was screaming in your face and then accusing you of theft, and then it could have even gotten physical, and then you accuse him of rape for some weird reason. All of that that doesn't that pales in comparison to the fact that Koala threw up in the backseat of my cab.

You should be ashamed of yourself narda Bobby being the dramatic one in the garage. She's the hammy actor. That's maybe not out of character for him to believe that he's got it worse. But now we're back to the were back to the art gallery discussion, because she confides in Alex that someone was complimenting her on her awesome display, you know, the one that she got into the fight over, and she says, she basically says, well, I took it too far and I invited all these you know, people connected to the gallery to come to my house for a dinner party, and you know, I don't you know. She's she's very insecure about the whole thing, and she wants his help.

She wants him to go to the party to give her moral support, but the catches. She doesn't want them to know that she's a cab driver, so she forbids Alex, who we all know is mister reality, mister pragmatism. He can't he can't disclose that he's a man in a dishonest world. He goes from house to house in his cab with a lantern held high, looking for an honest man in New York City. So as you'd expect.

Alex doesn't take this too well, and by now the rest of the cabbies know that they hear about this party, and but Elaine has invited them because she's you know, I think I think Danza or Banta says it's because she's ashamed of Look at you, Look at all of you, look at yourselves. Do you think you can mix and mingle with the people I'm talking about? Banta, come on, Bobby, you know, Bobby, you at least get it. Somehow, she relents and says, well, you guys can come, but under the condition that nobody says that they're cab drivers or whatever, and then they're you know, so fine whatever. Alex gets their way before everybody because Elaine told him the wrong time so he wouldn't so he'd be the first person there, so that no one else would have to be awkwardly the first person to the party.

So she cleverly told Alex to be there at a certain time. Alex is still waffling about this whole thing about not talking about that he's a chavy. So everybody shows up. The party's going well, and Alex is put into a conversation where he's talking with a guy. Actually, he's another wonderful guest star in the show.

He's talking to an art writer played by a guy named Clyde Kusatsu. Clyde Kusatsu is somebody that I think we've all seen. He's another veteran character actor. He's been on like mash Hunter, all these different shows. But I remember him best as he was the guy in the movie Volunteers.

That brainwash is Tom Tuttle from Tacoma, Washington. God, he's so good in that episode. He's great here too. He's so interesting everyone at that party. I wrote down in my notes here, I want a spin off series following this crowd of people at one dude with the pipe and the medallion.

Holy lord, his backstory. Why wasn't there an entire episode just him driving in a cab one night, like someone ferrying that fellow around each one of the cab drive Because the irony kind of is once the party begins, the focus isn't really on Nardo at all. The focus is on Rieger and him trying to spin this lie because he claims that his occupation is that he puts out fire oil rig fires. There's like this gorgeous blonde that is all of a sudden very interested in him because she thinks he's got this high risk job. There's the guy with the pipe.

The guy at the pipe starts to light the pipe with a match, and in mid sentence Rieger kind of like licks his fingers and puts out the match, and he goes, oh, sorry, reflex. It's awesome. People are interested in him. He's he's comfortable in his new lie, so it's great. He's having fun at the party.

In the meantime, the rest of the cabbies have all like they know that this is not their kind of party, so they leave, But Lacca is the only one to leave with the date. He leaves with sort of this mousy looking woman. Her name is I Hope, I'm nothing. This right is Treva Silverman. She was a scriptwriter or The Mary Tyler Moore Show and for which she won two Emmys.

To rewrite on Romancing the Stone, Treva Silverman. Yeah, interesting, everything's going great. But that at the door who comes in late to the party? Oh my god, urdact payoff baby, here we go. It's the dad from War Games.

He comes in. It's the guy from the cab So he comes in. The elderly owner of the gallery introduces Elane to this guy and says, oh, i'd like you to meet James Broderick. Is his name, Elaine? I think you meet James Broderick.

He's whatever. And Elaine kind of like she says like, oh, I think we've met, and the guy says we've met? What do you mean? And it's clear that he either doesn't know who she is or is choosing not to admit that this is the cab that he had a fight with, but it's played to convey that he doesn't. He doesn't recognize her, so she goes.

So Elaine kind of plays it off and then goes over to Alex. He says, oh my god, that guy for my cab is here, and she's screaking out and she goes, oh, but you know what, Ah, it's okay. He didn't recognize me. And then, like the flip of a switch, she says, well wait, now she gets offended. Instead of being relieved that she's been you know, not recognized, now she's offended that he didn't recognize her.

It's great, like the way it's it's the same exact line played two different ways right in a row. And now she's upset because she thinks, like she says, like, you know, we really had a real fight, and he looked me in the eye. It meant nothing and then nothing. Right, It's it's so much worse than she had initially thought it was. She was absolutely zero on his radar.

He looked her in the face then, and he looked in her face now and had no recognition at all. This thing happened like the day before. Yeah, it's a good script, Charles Brother. This is everything that the previous episode wasn't. It's smartly plotted, it's funny, it involves a lot more of the cast's it's fabulous.

So she goes to give the guy a piece of her mind. But now Alex is upset because Alex has been you know, he's bat in a thousand with this gorgeous blonde that he's telling this story about him being a firefighter at an oil rig. So he tells her not to, but she ignores him and admits to this guy and into the rest of the party at large, I'm the cab driver. I'm a cab driver, I support my two kids. I'm a single mother of the dada And she basically kind of confronts James Broderick.

And then at that point, I think we go to commercial. We know, because it's this weird hard cut, like in the same scene, like almost from line to line. We cut back and Elaine and alex Or in the apartment. They're cleaning up. Everybody else is gone, they're cleaning up from the party, but alex is sulking about she basically ruined his night by admitting to everybody this is the thing that she wanted him to do, which is, you know, but he wanted to originally not lie to people and admit that he was a cab driver.

But you know, once he got the attention of this woman, all bets are off for Reager. So he but he's just he's sulking. He's no fun. He's kind of complaining and grousing to Elaine, and you know, she's doing her best to try to console him or whatever. And and she even admits like that it actually worked out better for her because the guy, the James Broderick ended up apologizing and gave her a tip.

And everybody at work now I think art gallery says like they admire her because she's so brave and being at whatever, her being a cab driver and but this is this is cold comfort to Rieger. So he's he's going to leave. And for me, a big part of why I love it is because it's showcasing that Nardo riger relationship, right, because they end up being essentially close friends or best friends and even closer and at least one particular episode we'll talk about. So I loved that they're showing their burgeoning friendship. You know.

So he's finally going to leave, and she admits to him, look, I think we're best friends, and I would hate it to think you're gonna leave angry, and it softens him up just enough and he says all right, and they hug and it's a sweet moment and they leave. So let's talk a little bit about what we loved about the show, about this pick of the episode. Here's another here's another bonus in this episode visually for me, she has like this three foot wicker crow just tucked into the corner of the room. It serves no function, It's all farm but what form. That's another Easter egg that I'll have to check out.

Okay, Also, let me get this. I was a pig, then I'm going to be a pig now kind of, but just to get it out of the way, the spread as it were laid out for her party includes these two chafing dishes. They are beautiful chafing dishes. I would probably be proud to own one and display it on any occasion, but they only kind of reinforced this. I'm sorry, this nipple display that's going on amongst all of the women in this episode, it's just a visual sign and signify or perhaps of what this episode might be for you as a as a spectator.

That's all. I just needed to say it. Now we can continue because it is a fantastic episode. So I just want to get this straight. So you're you're saying that the visual chase think it's just somehow like subliminally giving it's either meant to distract us from the fact that there's going to be a knot of nipples on display in this romantic comedy on network television in nineteen seventy nine one of three channels, or it's meant to stay check it out, y'all.

So I it just it felt like a classic comedically focused, you know, episode of Taxi. I know you've gotten on them in the past for being too sentimental about like the struggles, the feudal struggles and all of that. This this this was not I mean, this was aspirational in a sense that it's Elaine trying to impress her her the gallery owner and the staff there or what have you. But it to me, it never really felt like, well, this is my one ticket out there, one of one of those kinds of episodes where it's it's make or break and we know what's going to be break. This was was lower stakes in that sense, and it was nice that, you know, she put on a good, good party apparently, and everything worked out with her and the James Broderick.

So that's part of what I loved about it. Um what what are your thoughts? Spot them alone? I hate I hate the aspirational episodes, except this way doing it this way because most aspirational episodes, it's basically watching a character get the goal in sight and they're gonna leave all everything troubling them behind and then it snatched away from them. Here, Elaine Nardo, when faced with this decision, is given the break.

She this guy doesn't know who she is, so she could just take the win and move up, and instead the signs No, I'm going to that means less to me than dealing with this human being who is a complete nutter prick. And I love that moment that she that she goes for them. Yeah, I can say about the Charles Brothers, the Henderson Navama's own Charles Brothers. Henderson is part of Las Vegas, my my my hometown. I said it at the top, sort of jokingly, but I want to reiterate it here rather seriously.

This does feel This episode feels like me not only where that this series should be going, and eventually does, but they're pointing to the way to how a series can be perfected eventually with cheers, and I can and I can prove it because in this episode the character John human sinkhole of charisma. Randall Carver, his character works here. He functions in and is funny. And you know why, because these are the guys who are gonna write Woody. I could not agree more this.

Yeah, it's interesting though I didn't think of it with this is placed in the history of the Borrows, but unless Charles sort of era. But yeah, you're right, this this does feel like you could, with a few minor alterations, you could make this a Cheers episode, right, yeah, just you know, just it just replaced you know, Tony and Bobby with with Cliff and Norm. Right, maybe they have to go to uh uh, you know, I don't one of Diane's stuffy parties or something for for her college or something or Frazier and they have you know, I could see that working, you know. Uh. It's just great.

It's great writing, great laughs, great performances. As we talked about in terms of the writing though beyond the funny, which is great in this I alluded to this earlier, which is one of the things I love best about this is is the interplay between Alex and Elaine. I think it's wonderful because it really does a wonderful job of kind of and you have no way of knowing this as you're watching the season the shows for the first time, but really they're four grounding hers and Alex's relationship as it goes forward, and I just I love some of the subtle touches of how you know she like I said, she she's protesting because she thinks that they're best friends and she doesn't want them to go away mad.

It felt genuine, It felt authentic because you know he's not a conventionally handsome individual judd hirsh, but she loves him and she and she's you know, she goes to him for help, for advice, but then for support she fucked him over hard by while admitting to this crowd that she is a cab driver, she pointed to Alex and said he is too, after he had broken his moral code of not lying about his profession. He did this for Elaine. He lied for her, and her reaction was to call him out on it, and in the end, Elaine receives accolades and potential promotion within that company. She actually achieves her goal in an aspirational episode, and the detritus is Alex Rieger and the potential with this blonde.

It's also great to see. I mean, they don't have a lot to do, to be honest, the rest of the Cavies don't have a ton to do in this particular episode, but it is nice to see them. And this is kind of where the Cheers comparison comes in. It's nice to see them supporting each other, Like, even though they know they're going to have a terrible time, the Caves still go. You know, they make an appearance at the party, and that sequence is very funny.

There's this like mingle train going on of Banta and Wheeler and sinkhole of charisma where they're where they're where, they're just chugging around the party to the different stations and like you know, they're making their rents that they can leave. It's very funny and it's very like a well shot. Like yeah, the same scene, the phrase macho gourmet is spoken. Did you take that down as a note? And I've I've discovered that I've now written it a few times, so obviously this phrase is I'm going to be bouncing around in my head, So thank you Taxi.

The stuff with with Alex as he's holding court with these other weird characters from the art world is a wonderful scene because he gets you know, he's he's inventing Lie upon Lie upon Lie and they're just eating it up. But it's such a weird group. Like I said, there's a guy with the with the pipe and the turtleneck who's fantastic, and there's this like I said, this is gorgeous blonde that comes in, and then there's the art the art writer. There's another great supporting cast joke because Lanka shows up in his dirty coveralls and they're like, no, you gotta go put on good clothes, and he comes back with sparkling white coveralls. It's a stupid joke, but it works.

And also Laca has a patch on those white cover alls. You see what's on there, crazy red, white and blue explosion on one side and what I think is a moon on the other. I don't know what it was. Is it his homeless flag? But that joke work, and I'm left intrigued with what he was actually wearing.

And I also wonder why no one said, just take the cover all off and take this tie and put it on and you'll be fine. You know. I always want there to be more with Laca and Louie. Louie's not really in this much at all. I think he has a few why cracks when they're talking about the party and all the Cretans in the garage, but beyond that, he's not.

If this episode was going to be on season three, then you might have had another subplot of Louie trying to crash the party because he doesn't want to be upstaged by the cabbies, and then he causes the whole thing. He would have I believe he would have featured more in a see here's how good, here's how good this script is. In the previous episode, we get Louie, who delivers a fucking killer line that like justifies the entire episode, and we're and we're left thinking, boy, we would like more of Louie in this episode. Here louis basically not in it at all, and I don't miss him because they figured out a way to make all of sporting characters actually work. I'm overpraising, maybe, but uh, you know, it's nice to see when things function as they should.

Yeah, that's a that's an excellent point because you don't you don't need that bench player like Louie to come in and bat clean up because everybody else is really featured well, it's performed well, it's written well, so you don't really need them. In terms of things that I thought, we're not so good. And again, there's not much to criticize here. It's it's a pretty solid show. The Cabbies, even though that when they're in it they're great, they don't really feature all that much and there's you know, sometimes in similar scenarios.

You might have had something more egregious. As the cabbies are leaving, maybe they make a scene, maybe, I don't know. They there's not beyond this like sort of train of them, like walking around the room. There's not really much of a payoff. They show up there, they look uncomfortable, and they leave right and that's fine.

It works. But I didn't come out at all because that freak show of a party was going on of all of these cou cou characters. So yeah, and we talked about this already. But but Louie is not in it that much. But you reckon it's more of a plus because that means everybody else is, you know, balanced enough so that you don't need a Louie to come in and spark something.

Hell yeah, in a in a romantic comedy where the two characters would be the romantic leads are actually playing off of each other instead of into each other like as friends, as best friends, and oh man, what a I would never forgive her. I see your party to support you, and I lied for you, and then you cock boxed me with this gorgeous woman who's way out of my league. God damn it. Narda should be. I'm going to get further into the art world and they'll be even more beautiful women that you can lie to.

But here's the thing, you put yourself in readers shoes. Okay, you probably already have a crush on your coworker Elaine. You probably it's probably you haven't admitted it to yourself, but maybe you already have a crush. And then she I mean because when when she asks him to forgive her, if she doesn't just ask it, she's hugging him at that in that moment, right she's basically holding his head in her hands and saying, please, you know, I'm sorry. Don't tell me you wouldn't forgive her in that moment, you like, in that moment physically with Eline Nardo.

Come on, I wouldn't. You wouldn't you would not forgive her. I'm just saying, if I had a friend who did that to me, like, yes, as beautiful as she might be, I mean, if I had a crush on her whatever, like, there would be part of me forever would think, I remember when you did that? Why did you do that? Sure, but you would eventually come around.

Actually, you know what, No, because I've been in this scenario like that where there was a girl who was out of my league and somebody sort of swooped in at the last second, and I'm never going to forgive them, and I'm in touch with them. They don't know about the grudge, but it's there. So I'm speaking as ringer here. Let's talk about yellow lights. What does a yellow light me?

Reminder, we score from one to five yellow lights and one being terrible and five being this is the quintessential taxi episode. Let's start with you follow them alone? How many yellow lights do you give this episode? And why you give it a four solid four? Can't give it a five because Reverend Jim mcnatowski isn't in this series.

That's the only thing keeping it from it. It's it's it's good enough that it's a great episode even though Jim isn't here. And I agree with you. I give this four yellow lights as well, because although this may not be like if aliens came down to Earth and ask what is the quintessential taxi episod? So this wouldn't be my top choice, but I have to admit it has a lot of the elements that go into making a great taxi episode.

For I think in your case, I think you're you're giving it bonus points because you don't like when it goes into the more modeling, these pyric victories that they have that don't amount to much of people don't like when things are over it. There's ways to do this comedy on stage and you know, and and make it like this episode. Like you know, it's just because the most of the writers on this show have been doing it for you know, many years. And I'm not knocking them because they're writing some of the best stuff as well, and we're going to see more of it. It's just in comparison maybe to the episode the previous episode, like this one just sings and it's the way, it's the way it ought to be quote Cyrus.

Somehow, I was watching this in preparation for this for recording this podcast, and I can't say this was one that stuck out in my mind as being one of my favorite Taxi episodes. But I was very pleasantly surprised. As I was. I was sort of watching it with a with a different perspective today, and I have to say it was. I enjoyed it a lot more than I recall enjoying it because it's you know, it's got a lot of the elements that I love about taxi and it also lays the groundwork for Elaine and Alex's relationship, as I said before, which is going to be a cornerstone of good taxi episodes, I think.

And it gave me the name of my autobiography, Father Malone, Macho Gourmet. You can get that on Amazon as a download audible. Also, I think the flag appeared in the episode in that party, there's a there's a man all in denim by the door, a tauseold haired, dark looking man. So this might this might also exists the taxi universe, might co exist in the Stephen King universe. It might just be happening in my mind.

With that, I think that's going to do it for another great episode of night Mister Walters a taxi podcast, Fallow Malone. Where can the listeners find you when you're not in the garage as it were? If you're looking for me visually, I think go to father Malone dot com. Even if you're looking for me ontarily, you can go to father Malone dot com because that'll bring in a weirding Way media, which is where all of the podcasts are located like Dark Destinations and Chronicles from the Crypt and Dreams for Sale and Midnight Viewing and Astounding Tales of the public Domain. Oh my God, I need a defibrillator.

Fantastic, and I like Father Malone. I'm on weirding Way Media as well, Wolf and Rays and the Banchick podcast a little something called Noise Junkies. I'm on there obviously, this fine show, and I've also been known to make appearances musically and otherwise in some of Father Malone's at the podcasts like Dark Destinations for myself and for Father Malone. Thank you so much for listening and be sure to tune in for the next episode. Thank you so much.

Thank you your fathers.
