Nailbag: The Voicebag Edition

[00:00:17] Speaker A: Damn, that was pretty good. [00:00:19] Speaker B: Yeah, pretty cool. Step right up its nails. This is not a normal one. Let's get that straight right off the bat. We're doing something different. We're hearing from listeners, the voices of listeners, millions of people. We're going to hear our voices in voice memos that they're going to send us. Did we decide what we're going to call this one? [00:00:45] Speaker A: Voice Bag? [00:00:49] Speaker B: I was hoping for something more clever than that, but okay. [00:00:52] Speaker A: I really don't know. I forgot. I think you asked a while ago for like a good Nine Inch Nails pun for this. Number one, I'm not good at puns. Like, some people are really good at playing with words and stuff. [00:01:04] Speaker B: I don't think there are many good voice. I think I used to have a voicemail there. Maybe. [00:01:11] Speaker A: It works for the era. [00:01:12] Speaker B: I think I used to have a Voice memo. How about listener? Voice memo? Rebellia? Does that make sense? [00:01:26] Speaker A: Voice Bag. [00:01:27] Speaker B: All right. Voice Bag. It's nail bag. The voice bag edition. That's what I'll call it. [00:01:35] Speaker A: I think that works. [00:01:37] Speaker B: And hopefully people want to click on that when they're searching through their podcasts. But we just asked you all to write in. Not write in. Voice in. We thought it would be fun to actually play people's voices, and it's like a call in show, but you're not actually calling in, you're just sending us a memo. We might do a call in later. We have to figure out the phone logistics. [00:02:02] Speaker A: And we'll probably do more of these voice series. I was thinking about doing one where listeners could send in their thoughts about the downward spiral. We'll be celebrating the 30th anniversary of that next year, which is oh, God, bonkers. [00:02:20] Speaker B: Yeah, we should do that for that. But this is kind of a lazy one for us. We were out of town, didn't have time to research a proper episode and. [00:02:31] Speaker A: Prepare it or compile it. I usually have it researched. I just have to compile and sort and organize. [00:02:37] Speaker B: So we're having the listeners do the majority of the work this time, and we're just going to listen and react to it. Should we just dive right into it? [00:02:46] Speaker A: Let's go. I have no idea what to expect, and I'm excited to hear some of your voices for the first time. [00:02:52] Speaker B: I think maybe 16. [00:02:53] Speaker A: Okay. [00:02:54] Speaker B: Which is probably more than I thought I'd get. And I'm just going to say people's first names, I guess, because I never like to say full names on here. I feel like most people probably don't want that anyway. The first one is from Glenn. These are in no particular order. These might be in order received, but I could be wrong on that. Okay, from Glenn. Let's hear from Glenn right now. Hope this works. Hello, Blake. And Jessica. This is Glenn calling on a beautiful autumn day here in the greater Boston area. It's late October, so that means that the leaves are colorful, the temperature is brisk but pleasant, and the Hallmark Channel is already inexplicably showing nonstop Christmas movies. I felt like I wanted to call in, but I don't think I really have much of a plan for what to say in this message. I am looking forward to what I'm going to lovingly refer to as the Gibroni cast, to hearing a bunch of fellow listeners, many of whom I've met, but I haven't actually talked to in anything other than Discord in a little while. So it'll be great to hear from everybody. So With Teeth stuff, I like this era of the podcast so far. I think it should be really interesting to get into as we enter the eras of albums that aren't necessarily university beloved from beginning to end, the way that we kind of think about broken downward spiral and the fragile. I personally like with teeth a lot. I mostly grew up loving rock, metal and hardcore, so the more rock band production of With Teeth really worked for me. It's probably also why I love NIN Live so much. There's an energy to real drums that's just hard to replicate otherwise. With teeth also. It's a little weird, but With Teeth does mean something, I think, particular for me because it came out at about the same time that I myself made the choice to get and stay clean. I mean, not in a million years would I compare my journey to anything, like, remotely close to Trent's, but it did still help me feel less alone in what to me felt like a very necessary life choice and change. So that record will always have that sort of special meaning there. Other than that, I don't think I have much else to say about that record at the moment. Although I'm super looking forward to the beside you in time stuff because that whole tour was just so much fun. So. Yeah. Happy with teething. With Teething. Teething, teething. I'm not sure, whatever. Happy with teething. For the next few weeks and early happy Halloween. I have been trying to figure out maybe you guys can help me out if there's any era of Trent that I could dress my eight month old up. As for Halloween, that wouldn't get CPS called on me. No, and I think my main options would be either try and find a long black haired wig and draw some facial hair on him to drive for a perfect drug look, or I could just let him play in the mud and go for a Woodstock look. But let me know if you got any better ideas. Anyways, love you guys, love the podcast, and I'll see you all on Discord. All right, cheers. How about don't change the diaper for a few weeks and get a Woodstock look more authentic that way? [00:06:28] Speaker A: Gross. Don't do that. That will get CPS called. [00:06:32] Speaker B: That's how you get CPS called. [00:06:34] Speaker A: Don't do that. I like the perfect drug idea. Because even if people don't know what. [00:06:40] Speaker B: He is, they'll be like, your baby. [00:06:42] Speaker A: Has a weird, weird Victorian baby with the soul patch. [00:06:45] Speaker B: This is what you do. You make your kid the Victorian ghost boy or girl. I can't remember. [00:06:52] Speaker A: Let's just say Victorian ghost child. [00:06:53] Speaker B: Victorian ghost child from the perfect drug video. That is kind of like the ghost child version of Trent, maybe. [00:07:00] Speaker A: I always called it little think. I think it's a little girl. [00:07:03] Speaker B: That's the move right there. [00:07:06] Speaker A: Yeah, you could do that. Hold on, I'm trying to think. [00:07:08] Speaker B: Or just a little piggy costume. I'm sure they make cute. There's probably a million Peppa Pig costumes out there. Modify it a little bit. [00:07:17] Speaker A: It'd be really cute. Hold on. I'm thinking about I mean, can you get him a little muscle suit and he could be with teeth. [00:07:26] Speaker B: I know they make muscle suits for kids, obviously. I just saw a ninja turtle. One that was green at green muscles at target. How early can you buy a muscle suit? Are there like, muscle suits for your six month old? [00:07:41] Speaker A: You might have to get like an Etsy person to custom make your baby. I like to play in the mud. Woodstock idea, so it might be the easiest, too. I'm all for easy costumes. [00:07:55] Speaker B: Yeah, definitely don't. [00:07:56] Speaker A: The older I get, the less complicated I want them to be. [00:07:58] Speaker B: Don't put too much money, time and effort in because he won't remember it. I guess we'll have pictures. Well, this rules. We should let people talk for us all the time. [00:08:11] Speaker A: I agree. [00:08:12] Speaker B: This is great. Just letting other people talk and we can kick back and do whatever. Anything else to comment upon? [00:08:19] Speaker A: Yeah, I think it's interesting that Glenn relates this album due to a time in his life when he was committed to being clean. So I think that adds another layer of meaning, as he said. So I think that's a pretty cool thing to share. [00:08:38] Speaker B: I'm definitely feeling the coming into I'm coming into midlife at the same time as we are coming into this album. And I may or may not be having crises going. So that is an interesting parallel that I've noticed as well. Not to compare myself either. So. Thank you, Glenn. Should we continue? Yes, let's keep these coming. Okay. A note from Lisa. Here we go. [00:09:10] Speaker C: Hi, Jess. And Blake. And nailed listeners. It's Lisa, aka Jupiter Star on the discord. I have a fun story for you guys about how I ended up backstage at a Nine Inch Nails show. Don't worry. It's PG. Nothing weird happened. [00:09:32] Speaker B: Thought it was going to go somewhere else. [00:09:34] Speaker C: Anyway, so back during the With Teeth tour, I went to several of the shows, but the Summer Amphitheater tour was by far my favorite with Peaches and Bauhaus opening for Nine Inch Nails. It was wonderful. The very last show that my friends and I went to was in pittsburgh, and I was on the rail as usual. And at the time, I kind of had a crush on Aaron North. So that was kind of always the spot I went for. And then after the show, we were watching the crew pack everything up and trying to see if they would give us any little mementos, like guitar picks or set lists or whatever. And one of the crew members was handing out after show passes, and my friends and I managed to get some, and we're like, okay, cool, what's this all about? So we found our way to wherever the after show was happening and stood in line. And as we're standing in line, daniel Ash from BA House approaches us and he started talking to us. And he was kind of a little bit flirty with a couple of my friends. I don't really know, but he was funny. But he invited us to go backstage, and we're like, okay. And he's like, Bring your friends. But not everybody. Meaning not everybody who was waiting in line for the after party, which it wasn't a lot of people, but still he was like, Just bring a couple of people. So I'm pretty sure a couple of people followed us that we didn't know. But anyway, so it was about ten of us following him to wherever we had to go to get backstage. And so this whole thing was pretty surreal. I was like, I would have died. What is happening? And then we get back there. I remember somebody gave me a beer. It was a corona. They didn't have any limes. But I didn't complain because I was just kind of in shock. Anyway, so we took some silly pictures with Daniel Ash. I had stuck my digital camera in to that show. [00:12:06] Speaker B: I'm pausing here to clarify for Zoomers. You used to not be allowed to bring cameras into shows. You couldn't just constantly be snapping pics. It was weird. [00:12:18] Speaker A: I got in trouble at a December's concert by Petra Hayden. I've ever told you the story? [00:12:23] Speaker B: Did Petra Hayden yell at you? [00:12:24] Speaker A: She complained about me and my sister to Colin. And Colin announced that, okay, my sister and I, my friends and I, Crystal and Monica, my sister Crystal and I would always take Disposable cameras with us to shows and sneak them in. But of course you have to have a flash on or else shit is not going to turn out. [00:12:44] Speaker B: Yeah, and the flash is what gives you away. You can't be doing that. [00:12:46] Speaker A: Well, anyway, for some reason there were no camera rules that the shows we would go to, usually if they were smaller indie bands, I don't think they cared as much. [00:12:56] Speaker B: Yeah, it depends on the venue sometimes. [00:12:57] Speaker A: Yeah. And these were all smaller venues, like the Granada or the Blue Note or whatever. And so I had my disposable camera. I don't know if Monica did. It might have just been me and I was taking pictures while they were playing because we were right. The venue was so small and there weren't even rails. Like, you were right on the stage. It was almost like a house show or something. Like, this is how weird the venue was. And so we were right in front and closed, and I was taking pictures because I was like, I'll never get this again. And I guess we annoyed Petra and she complained. And my sister has hated Petra Hayden ever since. [00:13:36] Speaker B: Wow. [00:13:36] Speaker A: She's always like that bitch. [00:13:39] Speaker B: Maybe she shouldn't have been using a flash, using a flashlight in her eyes. [00:13:44] Speaker A: While she's trying to play her violin. [00:13:46] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. Good grief. [00:13:49] Speaker A: Anyway, so, yeah, you used to not be able to have cameras, but we were rebels and would sneak them in. [00:13:54] Speaker B: Okay, clarifying that. Back to the story. Let me roll it back. [00:13:57] Speaker C: I had stuck my digital camera in to that show. And then we also met Josh Friese, and he took a very silly picture with one of my friends. It looks like she's trying to bite off his head or something. Anyway, and I believe Jordy was there, too, but he basically ignored me. But I wasn't really interested in talking to him anyways. The only person I really wanted to meet was Aaron or Trent, but I kind of had a feeling Trent wouldn't be really hanging around in an after party where there was alcohol and stuff because he had just gotten sober a few years ago. [00:14:36] Speaker A: Also old. [00:14:37] Speaker C: And I was right because at one point, I did see him from a distance, like standing out of okay, he's. [00:14:43] Speaker A: Not old, but the closer I get well, I am 40. I'm 41, actually, but the older I get, the less I want to do certain activities. And being at a loud party, while that used to fuel me when I was younger, I'm now like, maybe for special occasions, birthdays, Halloween. I'll go to Halloween this weekend. Yeah, I'll go to a party. But I think as you age, you're just like, I would rather be in a nice, quiet place where I can just read and be with my thoughts, especially after playing a show. [00:15:15] Speaker B: Well, you may be wrong. Hang on here. [00:15:17] Speaker A: Okay, let's find out. [00:15:19] Speaker C: He had just gotten sober a few years ago, and I was right because at one point, I did see him from a distance, like, standing out of what I assume was his dressing room. And we were just like, oh, my God, there he is. But he didn't really look like he was in the mood to socialize because he was, like, kind of poking his head out of the dressing room. And I couldn't approach him, especially because I had a beer. I don't know, I was like, I'm not even supposed to be here. This is so weird. What if he's like, security? I think a couple of people did approach him, but my friends and I were like, we can't this doesn't feel like the right time. So we didn't miss that opportunity. I did get to meet him a few years later at a meet, and I paid for a ticket to go to it, so that felt okay. But that night, it felt like, this isn't it. And then I did also finally get to meet Aaron North and got a fun picture with him, and he was just adorable, and it was just a very fun night. And so that's my story of backstage at Nine Inch Nails, which was nothing like what we saw in the closure video. No exit signs were harmed. Yeah, I love Nailed it's my favorite podcast, and I love all my friends in the discord. And if you're not a patron. [00:16:59] Speaker A: You. [00:17:00] Speaker C: Really need to join. [00:17:02] Speaker A: Okay, that's it. Bye. [00:17:04] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. Thank you to both of these people for advertising for us. If you didn't have a reason to join the patreon and the discord before, just listen. And we didn't even tell these people to say this. [00:17:19] Speaker A: Maybe Lisa will post some Daniel Ash and Aaron North photos in the did. [00:17:25] Speaker B: She may have sent some things to me. [00:17:28] Speaker A: Okay. [00:17:30] Speaker B: She said don't backstage. Silliness. Don't share them, because I'm not sure if my friends in the photos would want that. But I wanted to share them with you, so I'm not sending them out to you. The of. I don't think that's Lisa. Now, we have met Lisa, so I know what she looks like, but I think that's her friends hanging out with Josh Friese. [00:17:51] Speaker A: That's what it looks like. [00:17:52] Speaker B: It's a blonde guy looking goofy. So I'm assuming that's Josh friese and he's tall. Oh, yeah, there's a few. This may be one of the Bauhaus. I'm not as familiar with Bauhaus. I know who Peter Murphy is. I don't know the other guys. That may be a Bauhaus guy with another friend. [00:18:10] Speaker A: Bauhaus guy. [00:18:11] Speaker B: I do love that you see the digital camera timestamp. Timestamp in the corner. [00:18:17] Speaker A: I missed that. [00:18:18] Speaker B: June 30, 2006. [00:18:20] Speaker A: Mine was never correct, because I never I always think my timestamp was wrong on them, and I can't remember. [00:18:25] Speaker B: Yeah, they were often wrong. [00:18:27] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:27] Speaker B: Here's Lisa and her friend with north. [00:18:29] Speaker A: AW. [00:18:30] Speaker B: The object of her crush. [00:18:33] Speaker A: That's cute. That's fun. [00:18:35] Speaker B: He's doing a good face. He's pulling a face here. That's Peter Murphy on stage right there. I think these are Bauhaus pics. There's a pic of Trent on stage. [00:18:47] Speaker A: Is there a pic of Trent poking his head out of the dressing room? [00:18:49] Speaker B: No. I wish you got a picture of him poking his head out. But good for you for showing respect and restraint. Yeah, I respect that. Oscar's, chiming in. Fine. [00:19:01] Speaker A: I don't know that I could do that either. Number one, I'm just too shy. [00:19:04] Speaker B: Yes. [00:19:05] Speaker A: And too anxious to do something. [00:19:08] Speaker B: I'm straight up. I'm not a meet your heroes person. [00:19:11] Speaker A: Every time we go out of town for a concert. I'm always like, hey, wouldn't it be cool when we're in Nashville, like, we're just eating somewhere and look over and see Dave or Martin and Blake's? Like, what would you do? I'm like nothing. Just freak out quietly. [00:19:27] Speaker B: We were almost weirdly close to Dave Gone and Martin Gore a few days ago, but that was just because we were close to the catwalk at the concert. [00:19:37] Speaker A: Tip if you're buying tickets and you have the dough to go and get really good tickets, or just put yourself in a massive amounts of debt, whatever, go to the end of the catwalk. Don't go to the sides. They don't interact with the fans on the sides. The fans at the end, though, they get some little hand slaps and get sung to get serenaded, but they just walk up and down that catwalk really fast. And I was trying to take photos, and I just anyway, Oscar's here, he wants to contribute to Voice Bag. [00:20:13] Speaker B: He's making his voice heard. [00:20:15] Speaker A: But thank you so much, Lisa. [00:20:17] Speaker B: Thank you. Okay, I believe this one is from oh, it's from Nintend. All right, NINTEN. He says this one is tongue in cheek. [00:20:31] Speaker A: Okay. [00:20:33] Speaker D: Hey, all, it's your boy, CGB. I think the NIN thing that I wanted to share was being lucky enough to see them live at the theater tour for With Teeth in May of 2005, which I believe was attended by a certain Piscene from the discord. And it was a pretty friggin, mind blowing show, to be honest. Aaron north was just a spectacle to behold. Trent was clean and in rip roaring shape. They played some fragile, deep cuts. And it was a wonderful, wonderful show. And it was funny because I saw it with two friends who I don't think were actually huge NIN fans. But one was a new college buddy who was just like, oh, yeah, I'll pay any money to see, like but beforehand had never expressed any interest in seeing him. And then the other was my longtime high school budy, Squiggy, named as such because his name was Chris, and we couldn't have two Chris's in the group. And he sounded like Squiggy from Wolverine and Shirley. But I digress. And Squiggy is more into just general pop music and more mainstream type stuff. But he was, for some reason, really into the idea of going to this nine inch nail show. And the three of us just had an amazing time. And we stopped by my classmate at the time's, birthday party in Austin, Massachusetts, on the way back, which is the neighborhood of Boston. And then we went to a roast beef shop, which is another weird New England thing, places that just sell roast beef sandwiches. And it was a delightful night all around, and it was a fucking fantastic night. And, yeah, that's all I wanted to share. I had a great night for once in my fucking life. [00:22:29] Speaker B: Oh, that was the tongue in cheek part I was waiting for. Well, I'm glad to hear about the only good night of your life. [00:22:35] Speaker A: Do you remember being young and going to concerts and then having energy after the concert to be like, let's go party? [00:22:40] Speaker B: Yeah, imagine that. I used to do that too. [00:22:43] Speaker A: Now I'm like bedtime, please. Again, old. [00:22:47] Speaker B: But as soon as the Depeche Mode show was over, I transformed into bedtime. [00:22:54] Speaker A: He put on his little sleeping gown. [00:22:56] Speaker B: My sleeping cap, my little candle holder and then I did a flip in the air. And when I landed I was in bed underneath the COVID and it was 1045 at night. [00:23:10] Speaker A: Some of the best memories I have are actually like driving home from shows because you have to travel. Nothing comes here. And stopping for food at like random weird ass cafes or whatever, you can find that's open or if you're in a big city, which we normally were because we had to travel to go to shows, going to grab some food after and talking about the show. I think the last time we did that was actually after Red Rocks. The second night. No, wait, was it first? No, it was second night. [00:23:36] Speaker B: Denny's. [00:23:37] Speaker A: Denny's. With our friends Laura and Rooker. [00:23:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:41] Speaker A: And that was a lot of fun. I had a gummy or half a gummy and we were just laughing hysterically as Rooker photoshopped Trent reznor into various places in yeah, yeah, it was fun. Good time. [00:23:53] Speaker B: I remember being otherworldly exhausted, like my soul had left my body from two nights in a row of NIN. Okay, the next one is from Jack. Yes, that jack. [00:24:05] Speaker A: Hey Jack. [00:24:06] Speaker B: And I want to point out that Jack's subject line says hot singles in your area and the name of the file is Blake nine Inch Nails. [00:24:15] Speaker A: Oh, nice. [00:24:16] Speaker D: Blake jess oscar Trent. I have one question for you guys. Will you hand the feed that bites you? [00:24:29] Speaker B: No, I'm cutting that out. You can't moan on the air. I'm cutting that out. [00:24:36] Speaker A: What was the question again? Will I? [00:24:38] Speaker B: I think it was, can you hand the bite that feeds? Hand the feed the hand that bites you? [00:24:46] Speaker A: I guess it depends on the hand. [00:24:48] Speaker B: I'm not even going to dignify that with a response. Thanks Jack. [00:24:55] Speaker A: Thank you, Jack. [00:24:57] Speaker B: The next one is from Genetic. [00:25:01] Speaker A: This is Genetic calling in for this early Monday morning on the pod. As I've stated before in the discord with Teeth was never exactly my favorite Nine Inch Nails album. But going back through it with you guys has definitely given me a lot more respect for the album as a whole. I did go to one of the with Teeth tours. It's the only time I've ever seen Nine inch nails live. It was an absolutely magical experience. I got to go with four of my best friends or three of my best friends at the time. And we had an amazing time. It was so cool to see them live. We were, in the general admission, probably five rows back from the stage. It was so close. It was crazy. Anyway, that's about all I've got for right now. Great to talk to you all, I guess. Bye. Bye, Jen. [00:26:01] Speaker B: Great to talk to you. Thanks for calling in. [00:26:04] Speaker A: I kind of wish I had been able to go to that tour. Everyone is acting like it was like one of the best live eras. [00:26:11] Speaker B: I should have gone. [00:26:12] Speaker A: Yeah, why didn't we? [00:26:14] Speaker B: I didn't have money or in it or the ability to travel. [00:26:18] Speaker A: Yeah. I didn't have a car. My car was a POS, guys. I drove a day. Woo. [00:26:23] Speaker B: I was also too busy failing out of college at the time. [00:26:27] Speaker A: 2005. I was in college. I wasn't failing, though. I wasn't like you. [00:26:36] Speaker B: Well, whoop de doo. The next one's from Heather. Good to hear from you, Heather. Thank you. I'm assuming this one is going to be goofy or you. Let's call it now. I think it's going to be an ear splitting shriek. [00:26:56] Speaker A: What do you think? I was going to say the same thing. Okay. [00:26:58] Speaker B: All right. [00:26:59] Speaker A: I'm preparing myself for it. [00:27:00] Speaker B: All right. [00:27:02] Speaker D: Hi, Blake and Jess. [00:27:04] Speaker B: Okay. Not only is it not a shriek thank you, it has reverb on it. [00:27:10] Speaker D: Hi, Blake. And Jess. And Oscar, of course. Thank you so much for allowing Nine Inch Nails fans the opportunity to send in their voices. This is Heather. I'm sending in a voice message. I'm gazing into my crystal ball currently. I'm pondering my orb into the year 2027. No, I'm just kidding. I hope it doesn't take you guys that long, but give us something for the hesitation Marks constituency of your fan base. Of the nine inch nail fan base. Rather. Could you please give us a little teaser? Tell us the fans want to know what is your favorite song off of Hesitation Marks. [00:27:46] Speaker B: All right. [00:27:47] Speaker D: Thank you so much. I love you all. [00:27:48] Speaker A: Bye, Heather. [00:27:50] Speaker B: I like that this one poses a question that we have to answer. That's fun. [00:27:54] Speaker A: I don't think I'm prepared to answer this question right now. [00:27:57] Speaker B: I'm going to pull up my spotify so I can remind myself of the track list. You're not prepared to answer it? [00:28:02] Speaker A: I don't know if I have a hard time picking absolute favorites, although I always want to try, but then I get really upset with myself because I'm like, oh, I probably just hurt everything's feelings by picking various methods of escape or whatever. [00:28:18] Speaker B: I'm one of those weirdos who really likes all time low. That's a contender. Fucks copy of A is probably a contender. Not going to lie. I love both satellite and various methods of escape into. I love that's it as far as picking one out of those, it's too early. But I could give like an early prediction for when we get there that maybe by that time, maybe all time low will still be at the top. Or maybe I'll completely change my mind and be like, nah, various methods. Or maybe even more likely to be into. It's one of those. I don't know. Don't try to pin me down. Don't make me choose. Heather, do you think yours is one of those? [00:29:10] Speaker A: I don't want to share what mine is. [00:29:12] Speaker B: Okay. [00:29:12] Speaker A: I don't want to be ridiculed by the hardcore fans. [00:29:15] Speaker B: Okay. It's running. [00:29:17] Speaker A: No, it's not running. [00:29:21] Speaker B: Sorry to sort of dodge the question, but thank you for the question, Heather. [00:29:24] Speaker A: Yeah, no, I mean, I agree with you on the songs, but I also really love Everything, and I didn't want to say that's my favorite, though. [00:29:31] Speaker B: I do like everything. [00:29:33] Speaker A: I love it. I have an attachment to it because it might have been I was about to say it might have been, like the song that made me interested in Nine Inch Nails again, but that's not really true because I was listening to the scoring work and stuff. [00:29:47] Speaker B: Everything. I now know we only just learned this, but I now know it's a better live song than it is a record song, in my opinion. That is true. And I go back and forth on my opinion on the recorded version. I've never hated it, to be clear, but we're talking too much about everything. We're getting ahead of ourselves, as Trent says on Bad Witch. Okay. And I like the effects. I appreciate you putting in the effort, putting finally some vocal effects on one of these. Finally some production value. [00:30:25] Speaker A: And Oscar said hi back. [00:30:28] Speaker B: Oscar says hi. Okay, I'm not looking forward to this, but Rooker sent one and it says, why does it come as a surprise to think that I was so oh. [00:30:38] Speaker A: I please, please let him just be oh, God. Push play, push. [00:30:42] Speaker B: It's just going to be all him, like, singing all the lyrics to That's What I Get. [00:30:47] Speaker A: That's what I'm hoping for. I would love to hear that. [00:30:50] Speaker B: Okay. [00:30:51] Speaker D: I don't have much to say because I didn't prepare for this, but you know what? At the end of the day, that's what I get. [00:31:01] Speaker B: Well, that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be because I thought you were going to go through the whole you ricker had to get that in there. Thank you. [00:31:12] Speaker A: Is Ricker one of our that's what I get is my favorite song on Pretty Hate Machine. [00:31:16] Speaker B: He's one of those freaks, right? [00:31:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Or is he just like a like I like it. [00:31:21] Speaker B: He's an apologist. Yeah. Defender, Stan, whatever you want to call it, which is fine. I know there are a few of you out there. There are dozens of you. [00:31:32] Speaker A: There are dozens of you. [00:31:34] Speaker B: Okay. David Olman sent something in. [00:31:39] Speaker D: Hi, Blake and Jessica. Jess and Blake. This is David. And recording this voice memo just to let you know how much I really love this show. I found. It kind of late and took me a while to catch up, but it's been a real joy to listen as you go along and be able to kind of contribute to the conversation as it goes along. And so first I want to say, Jess, how much I really appreciate all of the research that you do. I really can't emphasize that enough and I'm sure you hear it a lot, but perhaps not enough also. And Blake, your clips, corner and mashups and production of the show are just so excellent. So one of my questions or topics is I'd love to know what process and program perhaps you use to duck the audio as the two of you talk over the songs. I think you mentioned once at least, which digital workstation you have in favor, but I can't remember what it was or what episode. But also I do this type of work myself sometimes and it certainly doesn't sound as though you're making a bunch of nodes and kind of manually dipping the audio and I wouldn't think that you're riding a fader as you go. But if it's some sort of automated thing or whatever it is, it always sounds amazing. And I was just wondering if it took you forever if you have a hack for the rest of us. [00:33:00] Speaker B: Okay, I'll address that first. No, I do not automate it all by hand. That would be insane. I won't keep it a mystery. My digital audio workstation is Reaper, the last Daw you'll ever need. You can use it free trial as long as you want to and then even if you decide to buy it's cheap. And then I use the plugin that one of the plugins it comes with is a compressor called recomp and I use that to duck I use a side chain to duck the audio of the track when we talk. So it's not automated by hand, but it is just I set the compression settings to nicely so that the track goes down a certain number of decibels that sounds good and that the ducking happens at a speed that sounds natural and not awkward and choppy. So it just takes a little bit of dialing in of the compression settings. But once you got that you can just keep it and it is really simple and cheap to do. So you can do it in any Daw with any compressor that has the ability to use side chain. So yeah, that's that, thanks for asking. [00:34:20] Speaker D: Thing is, the live 1995 footage that turned up last year, I think as you guys mentioned it very briefly and we were like, yeah, we looked at a little bit but really didn't get into it throughout the chronology of the show. So in my email here I've included a link to the YouTube which I think calls it Self destruct 94. But it is so clearly like having watched it the very nearly completed what would have been the commercially released home video and perhaps also the audio for the live album that Russell Mills did the artwork for. And and so if you watch the full thing on YouTube, you can see it to the end. It has the nearly completed credits with downward spiral fonts and all of, you know, look to be nearly done, but, of course, was scrapped and thought lost until last year. And then there's a great Wiki entry on it kind of pulling it all together. I watched it for the first time this year and it was very interesting. It would have changed the perception of the band, I think, had it come out and thought it was quite well done. But, yeah, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on it, especially as you're nearing Halo 22, which was their last commercially released home video live concert film, which is fucking dynamite. But that's all. This was already longer than I meant it to be. But thanks again for everything and looking forward to the rest of the Halos. [00:36:00] Speaker B: Cheers. Thank you. [00:36:02] Speaker A: Thank you, David. [00:36:04] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't believe we've watched this. [00:36:07] Speaker A: Not all of it. Well, probably what happened is I got sidetracked by something else and never came back. [00:36:14] Speaker B: I think maybe we started it and did get sidetracked. [00:36:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:18] Speaker B: And thank you for sending the link and a PDF here. Nine inch Nells Live 95, which has some artwork, I guess the artwork that would have been so is this real? Is this for real? [00:36:33] Speaker A: Well, we know that there was a different director who had almost everything complete, and then they went with the change of direction. [00:36:41] Speaker B: Yeah. A cool VHS, package. Let me go to the maybe just going to the link. Oh, wow. It's an hour 41 thing here. Posted last year. Well, obviously we can't we'll look into it further later. But thank you for sending that along. [00:37:10] Speaker A: I always meant to go back to that, but there's so much yeah, we. [00:37:14] Speaker B: Definitely should go back. I'll save it here. Okay. Should I continue? Yes, and thank you for saying that the audio sounds good. That's my favorite kind of that's all I want in this world, for people to tell me that my audio sounds good. It's my greatest fear that it doesn't. From Hannah. Okay, here we go. From Hannah. [00:37:39] Speaker A: Surprise. It's me, neternet explorer. You know, the one I love. Nailed Pod. Nothing but great things to say about them. It's worth being a patreon. I've been subscribed to them for over a year now and love them. [00:37:58] Speaker B: Hey, that's okay. Short and sweet. [00:38:01] Speaker A: Thank you, Hannah. [00:38:02] Speaker B: And does some advertisement for us. Yeah, hannah, the Nintenet Explorer account on Instagram is one of the funniest meme accounts out there for NIN stuff. [00:38:13] Speaker A: Other than the Nailed remix account. [00:38:15] Speaker B: Yeah, that, too. That, too. And other than the homebrew memes that I sometimes put on the Nailed account, there's a million. Anyway, we love Hannah. Thank you. The next voice memo is from Kurt. [00:38:30] Speaker D: It's probably too late, isn't it? Well, fuck it. I'm gonna say it. I'm gonna fucking say it. You guys rock. Love the podcast. Thanks for doing this. [00:38:41] Speaker B: All right. [00:38:41] Speaker D: This is Kurt. [00:38:42] Speaker B: Love you. [00:38:43] Speaker A: Bye bye. [00:38:44] Speaker B: Thank you. Kurt loader, by the way. [00:38:47] Speaker A: Kurt Loader. Whoa. [00:38:49] Speaker B: No, not Kurt loader. [00:38:51] Speaker A: Thank you, Kurt. [00:38:51] Speaker B: Thank you. Wait, there's a second one. There's a second one, love. [00:38:54] Speaker A: Oh, okay. [00:38:54] Speaker B: Yeah. Shit. [00:38:55] Speaker D: Forget to make a 90. She knows reference. [00:38:57] Speaker A: God damn it. [00:38:59] Speaker B: I really like the table slamming sound effect. I'm going to sample that and make a drum beat out of it. Okay. Thank you, Kurt. [00:39:07] Speaker A: Thank you, Kurt. [00:39:08] Speaker B: The next one we will do is from Joseph and Hope. I'm saying that right, but I'm probably not. I'm going to preface it with what Joseph wrote, sending a voice memo about the convo I had today with Robin Fink via Intros Live. So you're gonna have to tell me what that is, Jess, because I have no idea what that means. [00:39:31] Speaker A: Okay, so Intros Live, I found what it is because I've never heard of it before, but basically there are several different musicians or yeah, no, it's for musicians only. So you can find the artist that you want to meet with, schedule the date and time. They have, like, little dates and times reserved, and then you have just a one on one hangout with the person. [00:39:56] Speaker B: That's crazy. [00:39:58] Speaker A: You get a link to join, and you can just, I guess, hang out and talk. [00:40:04] Speaker B: All right, I'll play it. [00:40:05] Speaker A: Hi, guys. I just thought that I would send a voice memo about the intros slot that I did with Robin Fink today. I just finished it. He's really nice. It was really fun. It went really well. I had no idea what to say. What do you even say? But I missed all the shows last year, so I thought it would be I didn't want to miss another opportunity, I guess. And when is that ever going to happen again? To have a cup of coffee with Robin Fink. And he was really sweet. He was very me. I told him I was really nervous right from the jump, and he told me that he was also really nervous to kind of show up in these unscripted ways with people, which is totally understandable. But then we just chit chatted about stuff. We talked about the shows that they did last year, shows with Danny Elfman, Halloween costumes, and then that was it. It was just, like, five minutes. [00:41:06] Speaker B: But, oh, wow. [00:41:07] Speaker A: It was really nice. He's a nice, kind, warm person. So if he does put out more slots and anybody's on the fence about doing it, I would say, go for it. It's a little nerve wracking. But I didn't cry and I didn't throw up, and it was oh, well, that's awesome. I didn't even know this was a thing that existed until now. [00:41:28] Speaker B: Can I buy a cameo just for Robin Fink to tell me happy birthday, because that's coming up. [00:41:33] Speaker A: You need to go on cameo. [00:41:34] Speaker B: Okay. That's a different thing. That's cool, though. I'm sorry you missed the shows, but this kind of makes up for it a little bit. [00:41:44] Speaker A: Yeah. And he always seems to be really a good natured person. [00:41:49] Speaker B: I would not expect him to be any other way. He doesn't seem like he has a harsh edge whatsoever to him, which is weird. Maybe he did it one time, but not now. [00:42:02] Speaker A: Anyway, thank you for sending in your story, and I'm glad it was a good experience. [00:42:06] Speaker B: Tell me if I said your name right. I'm so embarrassed, actually, about it that I don't even want to try to say it again. Okay. That was very sweet. Thank you. The next one, guess who it's from. [00:42:19] Speaker A: I'm supposed to guess viv. [00:42:23] Speaker B: You're correct? [00:42:24] Speaker A: Yes. [00:42:25] Speaker B: I don't know. I mean, there's only so many people. I would have been like, hey, guess who? But yeah, this one's from Viv. Excited to hear that accent. Are you? [00:42:34] Speaker A: I am. I've heard it once. [00:42:36] Speaker B: Here we go. [00:42:38] Speaker A: Hello, Jessica and Blake from across the pond. It's Viv here, aka the babe with. [00:42:43] Speaker B: The power, I want to say. I like how it's a sort of stereophonic, almost like a 3D we're getting like a what do you call it? Binaural audio image here in our headsets. I like that. However, she recorded maybe a stereo mic in the phone. I don't know. [00:43:05] Speaker A: Anyway, around to recording this voice note after a little bit of procrastination. So I'll just go ahead. I'm loving the Wit Teeth era at the moment. It's an album I really love. I bought it when it was released in 2005. And two things I really loved about it at the time were the lyrics and also the fact that it was quite different to what Trent had done previously. So it was like a new beginning. It's a really nostalgic album for me now. When I listen to it, it brings me back to a certain point in time. And I sang Onion Nails for the first time in June 2022 after being a fan for many years. And I was not disappointed. And not long after I discovered nails. And I've been listening since. It's so well researched. No stone is left unturned. I'd like to say a massive thanks to Jessica and Blake for the quality content and for creating a great little community which is also Lana Del Rey inclusive. Hi. [00:44:00] Speaker B: You're welcome. [00:44:01] Speaker A: We'll always be Lana Del Rey. [00:44:03] Speaker B: Shockingly. Lana Del Rey Adjacent. How'd you like that voice? [00:44:08] Speaker A: It's lovely. [00:44:09] Speaker B: I think it just melted me into the. [00:44:13] Speaker A: Have to scoop Blake up later. [00:44:15] Speaker B: I don't want to make it weird. Sorry. [00:44:18] Speaker A: You made it weird. [00:44:19] Speaker B: Great voice. I think part of it is just that. Did you get that? The kind of stereophonic thing going on in the headphones? Yeah, they don't all do that. Heather's did it a bit with the effects. Okay. Thank you, viv. [00:44:32] Speaker A: Thank you, viv. [00:44:33] Speaker B: Do you think anyone listens to our crafts? Ozarkian american accent and is like, oh, it's like sweet, sweet butter to my ear. [00:44:41] Speaker A: No, there's no way ASMR up in here. No way. [00:44:45] Speaker B: Let's hear what our friend john has to say. Hey, jess and blake and the rest. [00:44:50] Speaker D: Of the nailed crew. It's John Aka. Faithers hearth. And I have a question for everyone. Is there a nine inch nail song you would like to see covered and is there particular band you would like to see cover it? Do you think there's a genre that would benefit an in song, make it even better for me? I always wanted one of my favorite bands, horse the band, to cover nine inch nails song. Thankfully, a few years ago they did. They covered march of the pigs and it's fantastic. So I guess now I would just love to see stephen wilson cover anything of Trent's somehow, maybe even a collaboration. Stephen is such an ingenious musician as well as trent and I feel like together it would be, you know, life is just false dreams and disappointments. So it'll probably never happen. So, yeah, let me know what you think. What NIN song would you like to see covered? Who would you want to cover it and is there a particular genre you think would benefit an existing NIN song? Thank you so much. [00:45:43] Speaker B: No, thank you. Good question. Before we answer, I need to hear a clip of this horse the band, which John included. Thank you for the link. I've heard car seat headrest cover march of the pigs. I didn't know that. Horse the band. I like the sense there. [00:46:15] Speaker A: It step right off. March, march, cry a final day. I want I want peace. [00:46:33] Speaker B: I think I want to watch it. [00:46:39] Speaker A: Nobody I want to watch. [00:46:45] Speaker B: This is a pretty straightforward I mean, obviously this it sounds very different, but they're covering it kind of straight across the plate here. [00:47:00] Speaker D: I give you all that you want. [00:47:07] Speaker A: Doesn't it make you feel better? [00:47:10] Speaker B: The cheesy? I feel like it's like casio presets. Okay, I stopped it right there. There's not going to be a jump scare. That's cool, though. Do you know who you'd want to cover? [00:47:27] Speaker A: I well, man, we just saw depeche mode. That'd be cool if somehow they covered something. [00:47:36] Speaker B: But I don't I'd almost rather hear like a direct I would almost rather. [00:47:39] Speaker A: Hear NIN cover depeche mode, actually. [00:47:41] Speaker B: I can't believe that never happened, to my knowledge. But either or either way would be great. [00:47:47] Speaker A: But I think the artist that I'm leaning to is one that I am kind of reabsessed with again and that's Caroline polachek. There were some covers okay. The rock and roll hall of fame. There were two covers of nine inch chanel songs. St. Vincent covered piggy. [00:48:06] Speaker B: Yeah, that was great. [00:48:07] Speaker A: And Jenny. Beth from Savages. Is it savages? [00:48:10] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:11] Speaker A: Covered closer. And I think what they did is very interesting and I'd like to see what Caroline Policheck would do. I'd have to think of the song. I'm leaning towards the day the world went away and I don't know why. [00:48:27] Speaker B: Because it's like ethereal, maybe in a. [00:48:31] Speaker A: She also I've been listening very closely to her as I become Reabsessed. And she also does a lot of the same things that Reznor does, where she is not afraid to sample and layer upon layer upon layer her own voice. And I discover new things every time I listen to her album that I did not notice before. Kind of like with Nine Inch Nails. [00:48:55] Speaker B: Her voice is an instrument that she plays like a I don't even know what she plays. It like I was going to say guitar, but it's way more beyond. [00:49:04] Speaker A: Yeah, it's it's amazing. So I would like to maybe see Caroline do a cover. And I've got to say she's probably a fan of quite possibly. [00:49:17] Speaker B: Lauren mayberry is now doing solo work. I think she would do a cool cover. I have no idea. She's a fan. [00:49:25] Speaker A: Are you leaning towards any songs? [00:49:27] Speaker B: I don't know. I'm thinking of, like I'm obviously a fan. Speaking of Caroline fan of the pop girlies of so, like, everybody's always making, like, Billie Eilish comparisons with NIN. We know she's a fan. I don't know what song off the top of my head. I mean, not the stuff that everybody covers. It's like the singles off of Downward Spiral are kind of off the table because everybody's covered that stuff for Billy. Yeah. What would you have Billy cover? Would it be something off the Fragile? [00:50:01] Speaker A: I think the Fragile is not referred to enough, I feel like, by other artists. What if Billy did even deeper or something like that? [00:50:16] Speaker B: Maybe? I don't know. I don't know if I could imagine anyone else doing that song. [00:50:20] Speaker A: Into the void. [00:50:22] Speaker B: Yeah. Into the void. Possibly. [00:50:25] Speaker A: I'm trying to think of something that would fit with her sound already. [00:50:28] Speaker B: Listen to a song like Therefore I Am, which has this very kind of four on the floor shuffled beat that would definitely translate to something like into the Void, but maybe a more subdued yeah, I think that could be cool. That's a good choice. So thank you for that one, John. We have two people named Christian in a row. Christian, actually. I don't want to say that or should I? [00:51:01] Speaker A: We'll just say first Christian and second Christian. [00:51:03] Speaker B: First Christian, second Christian. I'm not saying initials. To not give it away and not DOX people. [00:51:08] Speaker E: Hey, Blake, Jess, Oscar and Petranis everywhere. This is Christian, aka auxlander on the discord. Just giving my background with teeth and also with nine inch nails. I just wanted to share that this was really the first album I interacted with a band. Thank you to Fred Durst and Let Biscuit for posting on their website telling all their fans to go buy the album. And that's naively. What I did. I didn't know of any beef between Trent and Fred Durst at the time. So looking back at the album, I remember that there are some tracks that I skipped over because they were just too real for my mental and emotional state at the time. Specifically. Every day is exactly the same. And the last three tracks of the album, I guess I was just too fragile on an emotional level at the time to hear them, to be honest. And that's probably why it took me a while to really dive into the downward spiral and broken just because I had this preconceived notion that they were just very dark and evil. And look at me now, right? We just dove right in and really found the beauty in those albums and Nine Inch Nails as a whole. So thanks to you guys and everyone that makes this community possible. I look forward to the upcoming episodes. [00:53:02] Speaker B: See you guys. [00:53:04] Speaker A: Thank you, Christian. [00:53:05] Speaker B: Thank you. I had no idea that Limp Bizkit encouraged people to go by with teeth. Is that what I'm hearing? [00:53:14] Speaker A: Sounds like it. I think that Durst was a big fan, or is a fan of Trent Reznor. [00:53:20] Speaker B: Okay. Except for that little bit where he was like, fuck you. Trent Reznor. Did a whole diss track of him. I guess he got over it quick. Unless he was like, everybody go buy this record and then flush it down the toilet. [00:53:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:53:41] Speaker B: Okay. Christian number two, but not in order of importance, I should say. [00:53:49] Speaker D: Hey, Blake and Jess. I just wanted to give a few quick thoughts. And I've been listening to the Halo 19 episodes and I've been really enjoying them a lot. It's really given me a lot of appreciation of the album because it was actually the first Nine Inch Nails release that I've got at least as a physical copy. I got the album whenever Barnes and Noble still sold CDs back in 2010. [00:54:24] Speaker A: Barnes and Noble, that's where we met. [00:54:27] Speaker D: The last few years. Whenever they're selling that besides, like, vinyl. Anyways, whenever me and the other patrons were discussing about the album and the discord, I was just really surprised that that many mistook the lyrics in Love Is Not Enough with that part, as everyone misheard ed s towel. Instead of title. I was like, wow. That was really big surprise, because I was discussing that with a lot of other Nigel's fans in one of the Facebook groups that used to be pretty active in. And I just kind of thought that was hilarious. And I just made a meme out of that with that visual of the picture of a towel meat on the floor and whatever reason, I just thought the whole thing was kind of hilarious. And I was surprised, made a whole revelation. I was like, wow, this is not tile. Instead of tile, and that seems to blew everyone's minds. And probably one of my favorite Misheard lyrics along with the lyrics to Every Day is exactly the same. But yeah, that's all I got to say. And keep up the good work, as always. [00:55:48] Speaker B: And yeah, what's the Misheard lyric on Every Day is exactly the same. Oh, no. Porpoise. [00:55:57] Speaker A: Porpoise. [00:55:58] Speaker B: Yeah, I think I used to have a porpoise. [00:56:02] Speaker A: I think that's what it would be. I don't know if people misheard that or just saying it that way. [00:56:07] Speaker B: For Lulls, I think he pronounces it a little bit weird. He should have said, I think I used to have a dolphin so that it was clarified. Okay. Thank you, Christian. [00:56:21] Speaker A: Thank you, Christian. Thank you for let me make sure. [00:56:23] Speaker B: I didn't miss anyone. I think I got everybody. I'd feel horrible if someone sent one and I forgot it. Okay. This isn't a voice memo. This is just something at the end here. I wanted to mention John, who we heard from, they also sent something for we mentioned, I think, on a bonus episode that we maybe wanted to talk about bleed through ideas. [00:56:51] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:56:52] Speaker B: From listeners. Are we still going to do that as a bonus episode? [00:56:57] Speaker A: I think we could. I also came up with a really good bonus episode, and I'm going to go ahead and do me to say it now. [00:57:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:57:04] Speaker A: Because you were like, why didn't I think of this idea whenever I mentioned it? Okay, so we're not going to do this right away or anything, but it's something to think about in the back of your mind. Blake and I went to go see the eras tour, and as I was. [00:57:20] Speaker B: Watching the movie yeah, the movie. [00:57:22] Speaker A: The movie, sorry, not the actual couldn't afford tickets. Yeah, we'll never be able to afford tickets. But we went to see the movie, and as I was watching it, it's just this huge spectacle of a show. Good. Very good. And she goes through every era. It's not necessarily in order. [00:57:40] Speaker B: Right. [00:57:41] Speaker A: It's in whatever order they've decided to put it in. That made sense to them. But I thought, man, I would love to see Nine Inch Nails. Eras Tour. So my thought is exactly, yeah, send us your era's tour. I mean, I'm talking every era. Every era, right. From purest feeling to the trillion. As if he would do to the most recent Ghosts releases. I don't know if you want to include that. It's your concert. So if you want to include that or not in the eras, you can. But there's a lot to cover. There the songs, the costumes, the production, the stage sets. I want to know what your era's tour for Nine Inch Nails would look like. [00:58:24] Speaker B: And this is going to be for the bonus feed. [00:58:26] Speaker A: Yes, bonus feed. But I just wanted to put that idea out there, get everyone's little thinking caps on, right? It'll probably be something that we do before year zero, maybe as a bonus. [00:58:38] Speaker B: App, but we'll yeah, yeah, I think that's a good idea. And the eras, obviously you would order them in the way that you want. [00:58:47] Speaker A: And you could exclude an era if you want. [00:58:49] Speaker B: Right. For example, Taylor Swift does not include her debut self titled album as an era. It's almost eh, that's a little too. [00:58:58] Speaker A: Embarrassing, a little too cringe maybe, in her opinion. [00:59:03] Speaker B: Yeah. And kind of like Trent would consider purest feeling too cringe, possibly to be considered an era. [00:59:10] Speaker A: Well, guess what? It is on my era's tour. [00:59:13] Speaker B: Yeah. So in your imaginary tour, it can be whatever you want. [00:59:17] Speaker A: Yeah. And you could even have Taylor on her tour, has secret songs that she performs that are surprises for every yeah, yeah. And you could do that as well, which I wish more artists did so. [00:59:28] Speaker B: They don't fall into one of the pre slotted eras. Like the show is predetermined, but the surprise songs change each tour date. [00:59:39] Speaker A: And she could even come out and just do like a surprise song acoustic. It doesn't have to be the same. [00:59:44] Speaker B: So you can build in surprise songs that change up in your NIN eras. [00:59:50] Speaker A: You could have a still era. [00:59:52] Speaker B: Oh, that would be the best era. I'm calling it. Okay. Can I just briefly talk about the bleed through bonus episode? [01:00:03] Speaker A: Sorry. [01:00:04] Speaker B: Yeah, well, we did have a bonus episode a while back where we asked you to and this one was fun and people had fun participating. We asked you to cut the Fragile down into a single twelve track disc. And if you had to cut it down to that, what would it be? This idea is to do like, the alternate universe bleed through album that doesn't exist in this universe, but if you were to imagine it an alternate version of With Teeth, what would your bleed through album look like and possibly sound like? And you can be a lot more imaginative than just using the existing tracks. I brought up all that because John sent us something that this is what the text looks like. Can you see it? It's very good for bleed through. [01:01:01] Speaker A: Okay. [01:01:02] Speaker B: Because it looks like the text is bleeding. Like, all these characters are like, falling off in these long vertical lines. I don't know how you make it, but something out there generates it. It looks insane. It looks like the Matrix or something. [01:01:16] Speaker A: I was about to say it looks. [01:01:17] Speaker B: Like the Matrix, but it's perfect for bleed through. It kind of looks like the bleed through art, if you've seen that. Anyway, John went way above and beyond and I believe they've created like, tracks here. [01:01:30] Speaker A: Oh, do we want to save it for the episode? [01:01:32] Speaker B: Yeah, I know I'm not going to play them here, but I'll get into them when we do that bonus episode. But not to spend too long on it. We want to know about what your version of Bleed Through would be. To me, it's like there are two alternate timeline albums. If we didn't have With Teeth, there's an album that is Bleed Through, and then there's a different album that is about addiction and recovery, I think. And some of the songs fall into that, and some fall into the Bleed Through concept. I don't think they really and it. [01:02:11] Speaker A: Just mashes them all up. [01:02:12] Speaker B: With Teeth kind of contains both. Yes. [01:02:14] Speaker A: But yeah, so that's that my version of Bleed Through is just my dead friend. Twelve times in a row. [01:02:22] Speaker B: Well, at least that's what I get. Twelve times in a row. [01:02:25] Speaker A: That's that second disc up. No, mine's a two disc set. Sorry. [01:02:31] Speaker B: Okay. [01:02:31] Speaker A: All right. I just want to extend a special thanks to everyone for participating. [01:02:37] Speaker B: Thank you for, on such short notice, sending these in. [01:02:41] Speaker A: It was fun hearing from you. Some of you. I've heard your voices when we've carted. [01:02:45] Speaker B: Yeah. Mario Carted. [01:02:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:02:48] Speaker B: And if you want to Mario Cart with us and get these bonus episodes nailedpod.com or go to Patreon.com nailed pod. We got more than 50 bonus EPS and counting now, discord a bunch of other stuff. [01:03:03] Speaker A: But again, thank you so much. I feel so loved. [01:03:06] Speaker B: Yes, thank you very much for all the kind and not a single. There wasn't a single one that was like, this fucking podcast fucking sucks. Shit. I thought we were going to get some of those. Yeah, that'd be funny if someone wrote in just to create a voice memo that was like, you suck. [01:03:24] Speaker A: I'd play it. I think all voices should be heard. [01:03:29] Speaker B: That's right. Sorry, we're not finishing with Teeth yet, but life stuff. We went on a trip, and because of the Halloween, we usually do our work on the weekends or most of it. And holiday weekends we take off. And Halloween coming up anyway. There will be a little delay before we finish the final part of With Teeth side four. [01:04:02] Speaker A: Just a little one. [01:04:02] Speaker B: Yeah. Little break. Little Halloween break. And then it'll be here before you know it. And then we'll be done with that album. Can you believe I'm relieved? Not in a, like, I hate that fucking album way. [01:04:16] Speaker A: The Fragile was just really hard. [01:04:18] Speaker B: Yeah. I can't ever do something like that again. And that's my favorite album. Anything else? [01:04:24] Speaker A: I don't have anything. Just thanks again and much love to everyone. Keep safe, take care of each other. [01:04:32] Speaker B: Thanks, Nintend, for sending your voice in this time and for everything else. [01:04:39] Speaker A: But yeah, thank you. [01:04:41] Speaker B: All right, bye, guys. Didn't that make you feel better? [01:04:45] Speaker A: Hi, Blake. Jess. Oscar, the Nailed FAM. I'm just sending you a voice note while at work. So this is going to be really quick because I almost forgot about it. But this is Jody, and I just wanted to check in and tell you guys that I really appreciate the job that y'all have. Been doing on Nailed. I can't believe we're already in with teeth. It's insane. And the fact that I've been with you guys since pretty much the beginning is also pretty cool too. So I've been able to see how you all have evolved and kind of changed and I'm really happy that you are still going. I think that as a fandom, we all were kind of changed last year by the live shows we all saw and that was pretty cool. I was hoping that there would be some more shows this year, but it didn't happen. But I did get to meet Richard. [01:05:47] Speaker C: Patrick, which was pretty cool. [01:05:48] Speaker A: So I'll take it. But yeah, here's to more. I mean, keep doing what you're doing. This thing is awesome and I look forward to it every week. So give Oscar lots of hugs and snuggles. And I just wanted to say hey to everybody else. Y'all are amazing, really good friends. So I will talk to y'all later. Sorry this is really short, but I didn't really have time to record a long thing because I'm at work and I had to sneak into a Heidi hole spot to do it. So anyway, bye. Let's hear it for Nailed. Woo. They're good.
