And the Deadpan drought continues. . . .
Apologies, friends and foes, but due to technical difficulties, the release of Deadpan 91 (and therefore, Unshow X as well) has been delayed. As some of you know, my PC power supply blew up, and I’m scrambling to get my shit together. Yes, I live with an ex-podcaster, but her recording equipment is no longer even set up.
Deadpan 91 will come out. . . . the drought will end. . . . but not tonight. Sorry.
I hope you’ll continue to bear with me. Deadpan is the motherfucking. . . . . yeah. . . .
“Exercise?”
Now you watch it around here with dropping that kinda language, Vanamonde. Some of us have sensitive….eyes?
Did you guys ever hear that story about this 30 year old guy that takes his family to his mothers house for Easter and while there his mom admits that she’s just discovered that his dead father had an affair 18 years before and she’s just found his long lost sister and invited her to the gathering. So he goes to the airport a bit shocked as it is, and gets even more freaked out when he realizes the girl is like his favorite porn star to beat off to, like seriously sick shit like taking on five guys at once and stuff. I think her name was Kasey or something…
I dunno if the story was true or not, but the porn was decent.
um … what’s the emoticon for wide eyes and mouth agape ?
Is taking on 5 guys technically sick? i
I would imagine it would be more exhausting than sick.
Analyzing a joke is never a good idea.
“Penis Lane whispering in my ear”
Um… What were we talking about again?
Is that one of those rhetorical thingmajigs?
More of a rhettroracle thingmajigs. *knee slap*
Now you rhettract that statement at once!
mbnmbnkmgjghiturtyseefzdv
That was a test of my new USB thing. And an AWESOME post.
Amazing, all of this penis talk and none of the women folk are in site!
We’ve never kept it up this long!
Where are they?
Playing with the real thing?
Let’s call GJB at 314 this week.
But go on, keep taling amongst yourselves. Rhode Island. . . . it’s neither a road nor an island. Discuss. . . .
OH JFC. More technical difficulties are preventing the show from publishing.
I sincerely hope it’s in your podcatchers. Goodnight mushians.
Well it’s not on the website yet or the rss feed.
Alas, the thread is bare. But, we remain hopeful.
Hope springs eternal so they say.
But when that was cooked up there were no dodgy PSU’s and ISPs.
I won’t rest today until I get in at least one reference to The Ring that makes sense.
Is that dubbed or subtitled?
“I walked right out of the machinery, my heart going boom, boom, boom.”
Yep, cheers to JustaJ, that Coverville EP was brilliant. So far I think I’m digging the “I Have the Touch” cover the most, but they are all excellent. I never thought anyone could come close to the subtle nuances in Peter Gabriel’s voice, but damn does Geoff Tate from Queensriche come close. Makes me wish Queensriche would release an album of only PG covers.
We want the show!
We want the show!
We want the show!
*gets smacked on the side of the head*
You take all the time you need, Jack. ;)
While we are waiting ditto, I recommend the Coverville EP joe linked. Also
http://www.sixstringbliss.com can be a fun diversion, if a little sedate.
Well I’m off to work, will have to get my deadpan fix later.
*twitch, twitch*
Must… get… deadpan… fix.
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNN!
Rhett – I am STILL re-listening to that Coverville Ep.
This is like my 3rd time through. This morning I am likeing the “edgey” feel given to the “Big Time” cover. Hmmm. I need to see who did that.
JOe, I think that EP could get a lot of replay in my car. I’m thinking about editing out the talky bits in the middle so I can have it as a pure music chunk. LOL Big Time.. was that the Berlin cover?
Sigh…………………………………………………………………..
Apparently, hackers (who presumably have gained access to the Far Point server) have crippled my ability to create new posts.
The episode is recorded and posted. Apparently, Podango screwed up the upload; it appears to have cropped the file extension. But hey, it’s a start:
http://www.podango.com/podcast_episode/1116/68367/Jack_Mangans_Deadpan/Podtaint_part_1
Apologies. . . . Hopefully we’ll get this shit resolved today.
159 MEGABYTES!!!? Is this the unedited director’s version or something?
shhhh … it includes the alternate ending AND interviews with the cast.
Re: Editing down Coverville is absolutely choking my hard drive due to the sheer number of Episodes I have hung on to with that very idea. Of course I have yet to do that with any of them.
So I downloaded the 159 meg file and renamed to MP3 and…
“Your computer is missing the correct CODEC to play this file”
Apparently there are still some things to work out.
Hey! I’ve paid the huge sum of ZERO dollars for this podcast AND I WANT MY MONEYS WORTH NOW!!!! ENTERTAIN ME!!!!
^that was joke in case there’s someone too thick to get it. LOL
So Justa J, care to recommend any other Coverville EPs? ;)
Probably 30 MEGs of new material and 129 MEGs Leann giggling, which would be fine by me actually. LOL
Thought for day out of left field.
Looks like Bush’s idea of funding the war by selling Bibles to the Taliban hasn’t worked out so well.
Just almost too many to count. Most of the “request” shows have a few real gems in them. Then there is …
Coverville Ep 373 – Accapella covers of Sting songs – some really brilliant takes.
Coverville Ep 413 – Foo Fighters cover
Coverville Ep 395 – Electric Light Orchestra cover
Coverville Ep 361 – “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” covers
Coverville Ep 358 – They Might Be Giants covers
Coverville Ep 401 – 405 … The year end countdown of the top covers as voted on by the listeners!
ELO and Sting has me interested, as well as the top ones. Hmmm… I guess I have some downloading to do tonight. :)
Definitely a lot of interesting songs, if you want to dig through Coverville episodes. I’d love to hear Chris Cornell doing Billy Jean.
Anyway – I stopped by to post this:
http://blog.beliefnet.com/godometer/?WT.mc_id=HOMETOPLINK
Coverville sounds interesting….so, another podcast for me to struggle to keep up with.
It was interesting listening to this week’s Wingin It where the guys admitted that they don’t really have time to listen to other podcasts – certainly not for infotainment like we do.
And there theres many of us on the opposite side. I know I could never be a podcaster as, first I don’t have enough interesting to say, and second, I listen to very little music anymore as podcasts and podiobooks are by chief form of entertainment/education these days.
I know what you mean Ed. The last couple of weeks is like the first time in the last two years or so of podcast listening, that I’ve fallen behind in my Slice and Wingin It listening, mainly because I recently discovered “Six String Bliss” and I’ve been working through their back catalog of episodes. I’d like to work in a podcast like Coverville into my weekly schedule. I might have to start using iTunes to subscribe and manage podcasts there are too many to download individually anymore. As to a podcast done by myself, my free time is really limited, but I’ve thought about it. If I ever do it I think it would take the form of a limited run of 10, and I would produce them all ahead of time. Either that or on the day that Deadpan decides to retire I could co-host a monthly podcast about music and the guitar with Jack. ;)
Did you set up the release date on that post Jack, it won’t let me download or listen to it at all… I’m just wondering because that was one of my early issues with posting on Podango…
And I’ve still got access to the tank and the FPR FTP, how’d they manage to target just you? That’s weird.
If you want you can send me the file through the tank or gmail and I can post it through FPR and we can cross post temporarily… I dunno, just one idea if you really want to get this out…
Crazy how I haven’t posted a show in March and yet I’ve still got over 3500 downloads…
Hey, I’m getting some download action out of this link:
http://download.podango.com/mediatracker/1/68367/JM_Deadpan_Ep091.MP3
But I had to do it twice, the first time I only caught 170kb. I hit reload and it seems to be downloading the full show. *crosses fingers*
Whoa. Winamp didn’t like that file… Unless Jack is speaking in binary star system now…
*shrug*
79.4mb… downloading now.
Of course that doesn’t mean i can do anything with it yet.
I dunno if you’re at work or are trying to figure this out, but have you tried deleting and re-uploading the file? It kind of sounds like the file was corrupted either during the upload or during processing…
I’m thinking the same thing, Dub, considering that it appears to have modified the file name.
I might get a minute to delete and repost later in the afternoon, but I am at work right now.
But as I said, WordPress is also currently hosed, so I’ll have to post on this comments page when it’s ready.
Did I already say, “ugh”?
Ugh. Gronk hit with stick. Make better.
WHACK!
I agree. Ugh.
Does everyone here know about the Give us a Minute special? Send a 2 minute recording to Tee of your memories of Joe?
I dunno if I should send something or not. I didn’t know Joe while he was alive, but his death is what made me aware of this group, and all the memories I’ve heard from others have affected me personally… Everyone knows I’ve been going through a rough patch and sometimes I remember what Jack said Joe said after he found out he’d had cancer, that from now on he was just going to complain a little less. It really puts things in perspective, you know?
I put a similar post up on the forums, Dub.
I know Ditto, thats how I found out about it. *lol*
I contributed a rather lengthy segment for the Deadpan episode dedicated to Joe. To record anything more would really be a restatement of things from that. Maybe it would be proper for Tee to put a link back to the Deadpan episode in his show notes. Here’s a funny memory of Joe though.
It was the spring of ’06 and I was at Draco Vista for a WI taping. Mike was getting things set up.
Joe: Okay Rhettro, you can sit at any microphone except that one.
Me: Oh yeah? Why not that one?
Joe: Mike has that one adjusted for Evo.
MRM: Evo has an odd timbre in his voice that’s hard to adjust the mix for and I have that mike already adjusted.
Joe: (with a faint smirk on his face) Mike takes all the “gay” out of Evo’s voice.
LOL
lol
Joe did have a sharp wit.
(hang on guys, this segway is the equivalent of doing a “bat turn”)
A question for those of you following along with “today’s” music scene.
Who is the current equivalent of a Peter Gabrielle, Sting, Elvis Costello level of performer?
By that I don’t mean “airplay” or ticket sales … I mean, who are the “kids” listening to that can make you want to dance, start an insurrection … or can sing a ballad that rips your heart out – depending on which of their songs they are singing?
Is there anyone currently like that? I’m sure you can’t swing a dead iPod without hitting an “artist” who can do any ONE of those three things but are there any current musicians that can really do all three styles!
Try Podango now. . . maybe?
(sorry to disrupt conversation flow)
LOL
on the Joe story.
I have a “none” funny one … but very typical of Joe, that I need to record for Tee
You know joe, I’m sure there has to be someone like that. I can’t say I’m really in touch with the scene as is currently. PG and Sting have lyrics that resonate with me on a deeply personal level, I know a lot of 90′s music tried to accomplish that but most of it sounded unbearably pretentious to my ears. In my quest to find artists simular to Peter Gabriel I discovered Kate Bush, Massive Attack, Garbage and PJ Harvey. Are there 21st century equivalents?
Hey, I think she’s workin’ now.
Yes Joe had a fantastic wit. It was one of the things I loved about that guy.
Ok, all ready best intro ever. *lol*
Joe, I’m not really sure. I’ll have to think about that one. One of the reasons why those performers are so important is that they are extremely talented *and* they are leaders. Not to belittle Trent Reznor’s previous contributions, but with his most recent work and internet trailblazing I think he’s *finally* hitting that leadership role.
I love the Barenaked Ladies and The Tragically Hip.
wOOt! The drought has ended! Listening to DP91 right now! :)
The big 3 record companies performed a hostile takeover of pop music in the mid-90s. They’d always run the show, but it was then that they seized total control of the airwaves and music video outlets.
I think that a handful of veterans are continuing to put out good material (nin, Opeth), but most are just living and touring off of their Greatest Moldy Hits albums. There are a few newer bands that I appreciate, but none seem poised to “Zeppelin” or “Nirvana” the music scene.
Also – I’m impressed by someone who can reeeaallly perform the hell out of a song (Amy Winehouse), but I’m more impressed by someone who can push boundaries and compose something that sounds fresh and new and exciting (Trent Reznor).
OK, must stop there.
I guess that means I should check out Trent’s latest. coolhewip!
Fortunately the Canadian music scene hasn’t been as badly raped as the American one. Canadian content laws ended up being good for something. :)
So how do you explain Céline Dion?
I haven’t listened to anything NEW of Trent’s in a few years but based on the two CD’s of his that I have … he falls short of “THAT” level because he is kind of a one trick pony. He does “Dark brooding and angry” and that’s it. Granted he does the heck out of that trick and does it on a level that is at the top of that game – but that’s it.
Barenaked Ladies are intelligent and bouncy and clever (I have there music as well)… but where is their “dark and brooding”.
It’s almost like you have to have 3 or 4 “current” artists to equal one of those previously mentioned guys.
Hmmmm … maybe that is what the record lables have in mind.
I think you hit the nail on the head joe. The record companies work to quickly exploit musical trends, not develope artists. Range? Who wants range? We want our hip hop artist, our blond girl dancer and our Bush(the band not the prez) clone! Hopefully buried in the indy and underground scene is the next PG, Sting or Kate Bush.
Are we talking about emotional diversity? Because for pure musical diversity, no one band has ever touched Queen. Faith No More is a distant second in that category, I think.
Emotional diversity? Well, that’s an interesting concept to ponder. Trent never gets into Shonen Knife, but I think he has enough depth to keep his dark explorations interesting. For that matter, Waters-in-control-era Pink Floyd is all in the same emotional frame, but still deeply rich in symbolism and feeling.
As for the Sting/Peter Gabriel model, I’d also include Dave Matthews. Poppy, masses-accessible sound, with thoughtful lyrics and a decent range of emotional territory.
And their contemporary counterpart:
I know a guy who’s stylistically very similar to Nirvana. He was in a band ages ago but is just now getting back into it, writing his first new album. Unfortunately I’m not allowed to share anything because he’s still working on it. But holy crap is he good.
On Pod-taint- I think it would be extraordinarily crass of me to say “yeah, I totally agree and know where you’re coming from Jack,” simply because I don’t… You’ve been in podcasting longer, you’ve been to the events and seen things that I probably never will. But I certainly don’t disagree with you on any level… Your initial analogy has pretty well summed up my experience with podcasting so far. As for the second part, you named some names and I don’t have issues with those people, and I’m assuming the names you didn’t mention are the ones that you do have issues with. And while that encompasses a lot of people, I would imagine we’re probably within the same hemesphere of agreement. Especially about the twitter thing. I just recently quit twitter myself… With the exception of a few listeners I was able to connect with, I really couldn’t see it as anything more than the mass ego stroking of the “mega-podcaster.” (All though there are two people I would consider “power podcasters” who’ve despite legitimate success have never hesitated to hold a civilized conversation with me… and you named neither of these people) As for other things you mentioned, I’ve heard second hand from other sources some of this, and I’m assuming these people are part of the issue.
On the topic of “monotizing podcasting,” I think we’ve been in relative agreement. While some have made crap loads of money off podcasting, these are power players who would make that same kind of money selling vacuum cleaners in the shape of Lindsey Lohan’s nose. The people we’re talking about who think they’ll make money off this have a long history of loosing money on their own businesses. This podcasting thing for the most part is a hobby, and its not profitable when the market is saturated with shows. But thats probably not the level your talking about. It’s more like Role Playing games. They’re meant for teens and college people with large brains that want to kill time playing something fun. They involve a great level of creativity, the same kind of creativity that it would take to make such a game. But doing so would be near pointless unless you basically had the Harry Potter of Role Playing games. The market is saturated… You are not special for having a podcast.
By the same token, its almost a disservice to the listeners, and I would say even an innacuracy to say you’re not important in some way. Your listeners (and I’m specifically saying you Jack) appreciate you and what you do every week, or every other week or whatnot. But thats the community aspect and I think we’re in agreement on that. Thats probably not what Pod-taint is all about.
But I do see it. And if the names aren’t the same, then its because of our differing experience… But if they are, then I think these observations are probably self evident.
Was that a decent response? I didn’t want to come off as some kind of asshole or anything, even though I play one on a podcast.
Rhettro: I explain Celine this way: we disowned her and shipped her down here. :P
Joe: BNL can be dark, but I agree that they don’t have angry songs.
Jack: Totally agree about Queen.
Ben Folds might be a good emotional diversity candidate. But I can’t really think of anyone new that really fits the criteria. I’m also bad a categorizing music in that fashion.
Ack … got called away and now I have to go again. :(
I want to talk more about this music thing.
Queen – I STILL think “Night at the Opera” is brilliant and Queen is all that. Not so much with the “serious social statement while being entertaining” thing though. Just good and Entertaining.
Crap, I’m afraid I have to use the word “gravitas” . Queen can’t do that.
Ben Folds! Yes. Could have been on par. Don’t know why he didn’t get to that level. Could be the industry change that held him down but musically he might have had it.
damn, gotta go.
later
Queen! Absolutely! Speaking of which, I only recently heard Queen’s AIDS awareness song that they recorded with Paul Rodgers on vocals and it was pretty good. I’ve been a George Michaels fan, but when he fronted for Queen singing “Someone to Love” at the Freddy Mercury benefit man, did he nail it. I’d definately buy a new Queen album with George Michaels as the frontman.
Faith No More, not much an authority as I only own “Angel Dust.” But I did enjoy that album.
Podtaint: I’m sorry to hear of your Dragon Con experience Jack. For the record, everyone whom I’ve met from the podcasting world have been more than decent to me. As with any large group of people, there are those that I relate more to than others, but luckily everyone has treated me with kindness. A few caveats though, I’ve never been to a CON with a large podcasting component nor have I been in competition with any authors etc. for the hearts and minds of people. So I don’t believe I would attract much wrath anyway.
My abrievated theory, there are two kinds of people in the world. Good people who have behaved badly, and assholes that always behave badly. When you are the witness or the victim of the bad treatment, how do you judge whether it was done by a good person having a bad day or a habitual asshole? I’m not sure.
Dub: Excellent post!
ditto: Unfortunately, I agree with you. Doh!
Justa: “gravitas� I feel less a person for not knowing what that means.
Queen has no gravitas? “The Show Must Go On”. ‘nuf said.
I seemed to have missed something. Perhaps that’s in the new episode?
Yeah ditto, check out the new episode and come back here with your thoughts.
A few quick responses:
Rhett, I think each person needs to make those judgment calls for his/herself, but I agree: you do have to watch behavior trends.
J0e, I’m gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you on Queen’s gravitas. At least for their curtain call. That final album has pretty damn powerful material, especially when you consider its context. . . You hear the power and emotion in Freddy’s vocal performances, and then learn that he was too sick to even stand up before the mic for some of those recording sessions. Wow. (oh look, ditto beat me to it :) )
Dub: Thanks for the feedback, man. I do hope that it didn’t sound like I was decrying the Deadpan community. . . No, I was talking about my negative experiences in the pod-community.
Jack: Agreed, and damn I miss our lunches. :)
Queen: I think I’m going to have to buy that album now.
Haven’t been into popular music for years, mainly blues and folk these days.
I like the smaller gigs, I don’t dig crowds.
DP91 is downloading as I type, can’t wait to have a listen.
Only to find it consists of 30 minutes of hiss.
Aaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
When I load the mp3 from podango link dub posted in WMP I just get hiss.
When I try using VLC, I get hiss.
The wait for deadpan fix continues.
Now this is just fucking weird.
If I play the dp91 mp3 file in a creative player I get a video about photoshop tips.
Is dub pulling our plonkers?
Don’t use Dub’s link.
Go here:http://www.podango.com/podcast/1116/Jack_Mangans_Deadpan
And use the download link.
Van buddy sorry, go to Jack’s Podango page and download it directly from there.

Thx Rhettro that’s working.
Dub was hot on my heels. LOL Glad it’s working.
I’m going to be strong and listen to at work tomorrow.
+it
I know I wasn’t completely worried about the DPC being part of the prob, but I’ll admit there was one thing I was curious about, but after your explanation (which I will henceforth refer to as the “Obama race speech of podcasting”) I kinda figured that was the least of your worries.
Privately we’ve talked about a couple people and I didn’t fully understand until you mentioned twitter. And I totally get that. Totally get that.
Some stuff has gone around privately that has been none of anybodies business and should never have been passed, and a lot of it I never entertained as being true, but one thing in particular you mentioned, in reference to what I’ve heard elsewhere kind of worries me a bit. But as its all ready taken place its not as though I can really say anything about it.
But yeah. The podcasting (as in podcasters themselves) community definately have issues. It’s spilled out publicly in pretty confusing ways. Some of you probably know what I’m talking about.
But I’m not going to get into it… I mean you’re making great points Jack and I’m looking forward to the next chapter… But as a new addition to this podcasting thing all I can really do is try to be as little of an overbearing asshole as I can. (which can be confusing on its own considering what I do) What other people do and what their hangups are (and I’m not talking about you because I don’t see you flying off the handle like some of these other people) are their business and their problem. And unfortunately their listeners problems.
All – As much as I consider myself a Queen fan (The musical group … well, I guess the head of the Royal family is OK too … not so much with the cross dressers though) I will shamefully admitt that I don’t think I ever heard Queen’s last album.
What is the name of it? I should rectify that situation emediatly
Re – the latest DP.
Still haven’t downloaded it but from what I have read above – I’ll go ahead and take the heat for ruining his Dragon Con. I was the guy who threw-up in his suitcase and left the dead hooker in his shower. Sorry about that.
Yeah joe,
Next time be sure to throw up in the shower and put the dead hooker in the suit case. It’s easy to mix those things up.
Hmm. I got logged off and can’t log back in. :(
Thanks Rhett. Try as I might I just COULD NOT get all of her down the drain.
I’ve listened to the DP now.
I would have to say that having been pretty much isolated from the “podcasting community” I have been able to pretend the “taint” taint there. I haven’t had to face it. I haven’t had my nose rubbed in it.
…ick. OK I will stop with that now.
I really haven’t been exposed to the dark side of the “podcaster community” as described by Jack. I have no doubt it is there. I have never been involved in any group where that sort of thing didn’t eventually rear it’s ugly head so why should this group be different?
Of course, I really did want it to be different but I guess wishing won’t make it so.
Well, I’ve got it downloading now thanks to Dub’s link. I’ll catch it on the drive in tomorrow. I am most interested to hear this outpouring, particularly with regard to DragonCon and the podcast community.
I shall be sure to chime in after I get to absorb the show tomorrow.
As far as community, I have no twitter, facebook, myspace or any such thing. I have a personal blog that no one but a few family & friends read and I haven’t even posted to it for several weeks. Part of it is I couldn’t be twittering at work anyway and I don’t really see the point to following the exploits of some pseudo web celebrity and I don’t care when you go to brush your teeth.
The Deadpan is the closest I come to being in an online community and I think it’s something special. Those other things feel artificial, where the Deadpan community has grown as a natural progression of friendships.
Ed is often like the Jerry Springer around here, watching the food and cellulite fly around. . . and then when the cursewords are done, Ed steps in and provides an eloquent summary, a transcription of meaning ot the chaos.
Goodnight, Gordon Shumway.
And then he goes and does something like this
400-tees! Wee whoooooooooooooo!
:)
Well you can’t be serious all of the time.
So after listening to DP91, can’t help being reminded of the old saying that ignorance is bliss.
Technical difficulties?
We go on sabbatical and the Deadpan cannot go on without us
awwwwww.. Jack loves us
;)
I’ve glanced through and see some links for downloading the latest show? We’ll have to catch up later, now we must go meet painters
Hugh sez: hi pan
Hugh sez2: bye pan
SMARTY HOTTIES SIGHTNG !!!!!
Now THERE is the breakfast of champions!
BTW: in the “Deadpan as Springer” analogy … who gets to throw the chair?
Perhaps someone who is lacking in gruntle would the the choice…
You volunteering to stay still long enough to get hit jj?
Why would you want to treat a dog like that?
groan
So, I now find myself with an unexplained craving for a white fluffy non-dairy topping…
…and absolutely even less desire than before to become a podcaster.
As always, another good show, Jack, especially that dumbass memory segment :)
I’ll have to give some thought to the pod-taint essay, though I may wait part two comes along.
Magic couch comes today… Time to bring out the xanax…
yes … 3 cheers for the DAM (Dumb ass Memory) the unrelated drawer contents and other contributed content. I say “Hizaah!”
Jack – Re: material lost in the great computer crash of 08
Do you need me to re-send you the bumpers I created ?
WP seems to have deleted my account.
Coowhhhip!
Yes! Yes! Cheers to the Dumb Ass Memory submitter!
So is disgruntled scientist Kris from Tempe?
Should I save a moment in my working day for:
doh!
Checking out the bunny’s drawers. :evilgrin:
Jack: Great essay. Having gone through similar experiences I know exactly how you feel. There’s not much else you can do but to call bullshit when you see it.
Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Whip!
*ponders dancing naked on the bar*
*realizes that will probably drive away all the posters*
What to do? What to do?
I know!
runch time!!!
have some cooooow hhip
Hey! there’s a new post. Finally! We can continue talking here – or move the conversation over there. Whatever. I’m easy. As long as there’s coo hhwipp.
Off to the coooohip!
