Mike Whiston (3:21)

Dude, I am blown away.

Host 1 (3:23)

I don't. First of all, I don't think I've ever seen Mark Cross without a cowboy hat. I mean, I'm looking at him right here on screen, and I. I I don't recognize this guy. Dude.

Joe Ruby (3:31)

I had no idea who that was. I was like, this is, this is great. I'm like, who the hell is this? And then he moved his head and I saw the Texas flag in the background and I'm like, yeah, all right. I know this guy. Yeah. I'm like, oh, shit. You know what? He's like, I'm going in full costume. Full costume. You. Nobody's going to recognize me. But I'm not losing the fucking Texas flag in the background. No way am I removing that. I love you.

Host 1 (3:52)

Like, for anyone that's not actually watching and they're just listening on any of the major platforms, again, this was Mark Cross and he was out there actually all dressed up in this like mad scientist kind of, you know, Einstein looking kind of outfit. And he had like a prop skull and some other props, like, throughout. And he just like owned it with the accent and owned it with the entire character. Totally got into, I mean, like, that. That was one of my favorite Halloween covers I've. I've ever heard in Friday night karaoke. And scene.

Joe Ruby (4:21)

I would tend to agree it was great. He had the full props. And then was somebody just pulling bong hits in the background at the end of that song? Like, that's. I'm sorry.

Host 1 (4:31)

I tried to keep it down. We got a long podcast to get through, you know. Oh, man.

Joe Ruby (4:36)

I was like, what am I listening to right now?

Host 1 (4:40)

I feel like it's not even cool to do bong hits anymore. Like, it was cool back when, like, you, you know, it wasn't allowed. But now that you know, now you can just go and buy it in the store in most, like, you know, American cities and states. So I. I don't know if is it even cool anymore? I mean, it used to be so cool.

Joe Ruby (4:55)

Now was it cool?

Host 1 (4:56)

Was it?

Joe Ruby (4:57)

And is it not cool at all?

Host 1 (4:58)

Right? I don't know.

Mike Whiston (4:59)

I have no idea.

Host 1 (5:00)

I don't know. I'm a whiskey drinker. Thank you, Mr. Cliffs. I'm a whiskey drinker.

Mike Whiston (5:05)

So let me tell you. I am Mike Whiston. I am the co host and co founder of the Friday night karaoke podcast.

Host 1 (5:11)

And the Friday night karaoke Facebook group.

Joe Ruby (5:15)

And I am Joe Ruby with the same exact title. And today I am not drinking my Mr. Cliffs. I am drinking my Kickstart Coffee from HMG Beverage because it is 7 o' clock in the early morning here and I'm cranking up on coffee because there's no way I'd be able to do this. I Don't know how you do it. I'm on the other side of this world, dude. And I am drinking the whiskey, and you're like, good morning, everyone.

Mike Whiston (5:38)

Yeah.

Joe Ruby (5:39)

And I'm like, how the is he doing this?

Host 1 (5:40)

I don't know. I just permanently have energy. I don't know where it comes from, man.

Joe Ruby (5:43)

Dude, good for you.

Host 1 (5:44)

It probably comes from all the coffee in the morning and, you know, all.

Joe Ruby (5:47)

The whiskey and the whiskey at night. Yeah. There we go.

Host 1 (5:49)

Perfect. I'm just happy to be on the flip side of it and finally drinking.

Joe Ruby (5:53)

I know. Good for you. Oh, my God.

Host 1 (5:55)

Just going back to Mark Cross with Monster Mash by Bobby Pickett there. Did he give off, like, really good Doc Brown vibes to you? Like, if they were to make another or, like, some kind of a remake or a prequel or a sequel or anything like that to Back to the Future, wouldn't he just be freaking great as Doc Brown?

Joe Ruby (6:17)

You know, he had the look. I'd love to hear him do the Doc Brown impersonation, you know?

Host 1 (6:20)

Yeah. Not like the Einstein.

Joe Ruby (6:23)

Yeah.

Host 1 (6:23)

Yeah.

Joe Ruby (6:23)

And honestly, though, after seeing this, like, I didn't think he would be able to. I. I really did not recognize that it was him. Right. But after seeing this. After seeing him as this character, I think he could probably do it.

Host 1 (6:35)

Well, I mean, he has some range here, apparently.

Joe Ruby (6:38)

Like, I had no idea.

Host 1 (6:39)

Talented as hell. Like, I'm blown away. Mark Cross, I have all kinds of requests for you. I don't know what they are yet. The first one is, I just want to hear you say, great Scott.

Joe Ruby (6:49)

Right.

Host 1 (6:51)

But in a different way than I.

Joe Ruby (6:53)

Or maybe 1.21 gigawatts. Say that.

Host 1 (6:55)

Like, can you say both and can you whisper it? All right, send it directly. Now it's getting weird. Now you're just getting weird.

Mike Whiston (7:07)

So this is episode number 67.

Host 1 (7:10)

It's technically season three, episode five of the Friday night karaoke podcast. I have my headphones on all sideways because I'm going to a Halloween party tonight at my favorite bar in Ebina, Japan. And I am dressed like. Well, I don't have a costume, so I'm just dressed in black and, you know, going to use a lightsaber and be a dark Jedi or whatever.

Joe Ruby (7:30)

Wait, so what you're doing right now, this whole thing that you're doing right now, that's your Halloween costume?

Host 1 (7:34)

This is my Halloween costume. Is.

Joe Ruby (7:36)

Wow, man, that was good. This is good. Way to put in the effort.

Host 1 (7:40)

Yeah.

Mike Whiston (7:41)

I don't know.

Host 1 (7:42)

You know, all my wigs and all my Cool stuff was back in the States and I didn't bring it over, and I haven't rebought everything over here, but it's all. It's all good. It's all good. So this week is hocus pocus week. As you can imagine, it's Halloween songs. So the wonderful members of the Friday night karaoke community put their best, scariest, spookiest foot forward and put out some songs for Halloween to creep us out, to, you know, get us.

Joe Ruby (8:08)

Trick or treat. Yeah, let's do this. To get you all gussied up, like the way you are now with you really just pulling your hair back just slightly, just combing your hair a little bit. And you're like, I'm dressed up.

Host 1 (8:20)

Well, I. I also waxed my eyebrows. You didn't notice. Yeah, they look nice. It took me at least seven minutes, and that's six minutes more than I usually spend on them. So.

Joe Ruby (8:29)

Yeah.

Host 1 (8:30)

I hope someone notices tonight.

Joe Ruby (8:32)

No, no. Yeah, yeah.

Host 1 (8:33)

When you put the effort in, you know, you hope to be noticed. And I'm just manifesting it tonight.

Joe Ruby (8:38)

I. Good for you. I just watched the Princess Diaries with my daughter the other day. Like, that's like the kind of vibe you're giving me right there. Awesome. Yeah, awesome.

Host 1 (8:54)

Oh, well, moving right along.

Mike Whiston (8:57)

Coming up next.

Joe Ruby (8:58)

That was a horribly. I tried point reference there. But anyway, it's 7am Doing my best.

Mike Whiston (9:06)

Yeah, it's all good.

Host 1 (9:07)

I tried. So coming up next, we have. I believe this is a new member of the Friday night karaoke community. Or at least for me, it's a new member. I haven't heard her stuff before, and I really hope to hear a lot more after hearing this one.

Mike Whiston (9:21)

This is going to be Angel Lark.

Host 1 (9:23)

With a little Dusty Springfield with spooky. Give it a listen.

Joe Ruby (9:27)

All right.

Angel Lark (9:38)

In the cool of the evening when everything is getting kind of groovy? You call me up and ask me if I'd like to go with you and see a movie. First I say no, I've got some plans for the night. And then I stop and say all right. Love is kind of crazy with the spooky little boy like you? You always keep me guessing? I never seem to know what you are thinking and if a lady looks at you it's for sure your little eye will be your winkin. I get confused cause I don't know where I stand and then you smile and hold my hand. Love is kind of crazy With a spooky little boy like you. Spooky. If you decide someday to stop this little Game that you are playing.

Host 1 (11:37)

I'm.

Angel Lark (11:38)

Angel Lark (12:09)

My little. Okay, boy. My little spooky.

Mike Whiston (12:18)

Angel lark. Yes. Yes. More like that, dude. Wow.

Joe Ruby (12:23)

She's really good. That was like. That was like. That could have been recorded at, like, a nightclub, and I would believe it.

Host 1 (12:30)

She has the voice for it.

Mike Whiston (12:31)

She has the presence for it, and.

Host 1 (12:33)

I love that song. I mean, it's a really classic song, especially around Halloween. And, man, just perfect, perfect rendition of that song. She has, like, a very unique quality to her voice.

Joe Ruby (12:44)

Yeah. You know what I was just thinking? It reminds me, like, like a Katherine Hepburn sort of voice, right? Doesn't it?

Host 1 (12:51)

So. So I. I couldn't put my finger on it. Like, it was like running around in my head, and I. I wasn't really sure who it was. And then you just said that, and that's exactly who I was thinking. That just realized.

Joe Ruby (13:02)

Accent, right? Like, it just.

Host 1 (13:03)

It's just.

Joe Ruby (13:04)

Yes, it's really exactly that. Yeah. She sounds awesome. And I'm seriously. Like, the video, everything. Like, she looks like a freaking professional. Like, she could totally do this for a living now.

Host 1 (13:13)

I'm dying to go, like, through Friday night karaoke and see if she's posted other stuff. Yeah, that's a nice surprise when you go back and you didn't. You know, we have 36, 000 members in the community on Facebook.

Joe Ruby (13:22)

That's a lot.

Host 1 (13:22)

Yeah. If you're not currently a member, you know, certainly go over to Facebook, type in Friday night karaoke in the search bar, click on join in the group and answer our three little questions. It's important to answer them because you know you'll get a decline without it. And you're in, baby. And you're in. And by the way.

Joe Ruby (13:40)

Yeah, that's how we do this podcast, by the way. If you're new to the show, we pull all these songs from the Friday night karaoke Facebook group. So we pick a theme of the week. Like this week, Hocus Pocus Halloween theme. We put it up there. Everybody posts songs along that theme. We find a bunch that fit the show, and we pull them in and play the videos live on our podcast. So that's how we do this whole thing. So if you want to join in on the fun, if, you know, jump in there, join the group. Post a song if you just want to. If you don't feel like joining a song yet, just jump in there and check out all the other songs. We got hundreds of amazing singers, and just click, like, add a comment, write something cool, and then join when you're ready. Oh, all right, guys. Say it, Mike. Say it.

Mike Whiston (14:17)

But how much. How much does it cost if I want to get on the podcast?

Joe Ruby (14:20)

Actually, right now, if your last name goes from A to M, it is free. And if it's N to Z, it is also free.

Mike Whiston (14:27)

Oh, my God. I fit right in.

Host 1 (14:29)

I know.

Joe Ruby (14:30)

That's you, Mike. You're very special.

Host 1 (14:32)

Right?

Joe Ruby (14:32)

Like, it's free. It's free to join. Oh, yeah.

Mike Whiston (14:34)

Let me call my moms. So, again, that was Angel Lark was Spooky from Dusty Springfield and just a phenomenal number two song for the Friday Night Karaoke podcast.

Host 1 (14:45)

We have eight amazing artists for you today on our episode 67 of this lovely podcast. By the way, you know, I. I took a quick gander in Apple the other day, and we were number. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Joe Ruby (14:59)

Say it.

Host 1 (15:00)

Oh, I didn't. I didn't make a banner.

Mike Whiston (15:02)

Anyway, we were number one.

Joe Ruby (15:06)

The number one music podcast in America. We hit it again. It's been. It's been probably a year since we were number one, so hitting it again after last week's, folks. That's, by the way, a good. A good reason to do these more often, because when we actually put these podcasts out, people listen and we kind of bump up in the rankings, which is awesome. So I think we're back down to number nine again, because, you know, people listen and then they stop listening once they've already listened, so it's cool. But number. Still number nine in the US for music.

Host 1 (15:32)

Dude, that's not bad.

Joe Ruby (15:34)

That's freaking awesome. I'm loving that.

Host 1 (15:35)

Back up once we release. I know.

Joe Ruby (15:36)

Let's put this one especially.

Mike Whiston (15:38)

All about you. The songs are yours. No, nobody really cares about.

Host 1 (15:41)

The bands are in between. They care about the music. We're just guiding you to it.

Joe Ruby (15:46)

I care. I love bantering with you.

Host 1 (15:48)

This is my excuse to come hang out with you. I love it.

Joe Ruby (15:51)

It is. This is a good time to drink my coffee in the morning. Usually I'm drinking, so it's nice. I miss you, buddy. So this is a. This is a nice time to get to chat it up and just be stupid for an hour.

Mike Whiston (16:00)

It's been a while, and I just. I just.

Backing Vocalist or Additional Singer (16:03)

Just come.

Host 1 (16:04)

Hold on.

Mike Whiston (16:04)

Joe Ruby (16:05)

Just take a second.

Mike Whiston (16:05)

I'M just a little glam to stuck amongst yourselves. So coming up next, we have.

Host 1 (16:12)

This is actually one of my favorite members of the community as far as the music puts out because, like, you know, I grew up in an era where, you know, the. The music that resonated most with me was it was a lot of punk rock and stuff, but really it was like that old school metal and that old school rock, you know, like hard rock and, you know, the. The 80s, you know, the 80s metal and 80s rock. And this dude puts out just metal song after metal song and he absolutely crushes it every single time. He has these like, really cool backgrounds and stuff that he puts out there too. Usually it's like related to the actual band or, you know, the music video or whatever. But yeah, phenomenal singer in the group. His name's Edmund Thamelli. We've featured him before, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I think so. He. He posts a bunch of the group and he's been around for probably, my guess is around a year or so. But for Halloween week here, you can't go wrong with Alice Cooper. You can. No, no. Throw a dart and Alice Cooper song and. Pretty good. Yeah, but, you know, we're not going cheesy like feed my Frankenstein. That's pretty. No, that's pretty. Well, that means pretty basic for. For Halloween week.

Joe Ruby (17:15)

That's the bullseye of the.

Host 1 (17:17)

That is the bullseye. But I like this one too. This is hey stupid from Alice Alex Cooper. Yeah, Give it a listen.

Mike Whiston (21:39)

That's how to sing that song.

Joe Ruby (21:41)

That was awesome, dude.

Host 1 (21:43)

Yeah. Oh, man, he had the prop as well, you know.

Mike Whiston (21:46)

He had the skull.

Joe Ruby (21:46)

Yeah, he got the skull. The second skull this evening.

Host 1 (21:49)

The second skull of the evening. Second prop skull of the evening. Now I'm actually convinced that was a prop skull, so. So if you noticed, he was using. He was recording that on smule and he was using the smule, like face augmentation. Whatever.

Joe Ruby (22:04)

Like, 90 of the time works.

Host 1 (22:06)

Yeah. So, like. Yeah, I think he rocked it off. You know, he rocked so hard that the mask came off.

Joe Ruby (22:10)

The mask came off? Oh, yeah.

Host 1 (22:12)

The AR just like, you know, broke. You know, he's like, you know, he rocked too hard.

Joe Ruby (22:18)

But.

Host 1 (22:18)

But, but, you know, I'm actually kind of convinced. Convinced that he had a real human head and it was just the AR making it look like a skull.

Joe Ruby (22:27)

You think so?

Host 1 (22:28)

I. I don't know. Edmunds, what are you up to over there?

Joe Ruby (22:32)

Oh, man, that would be magic. Perfect. That'd be the perfect alibi. Right?

Mike Whiston (22:36)

The perfect cover.

Joe Ruby (22:37)

Yes. Like, yeah, it was. No, it was a prop for Friday night karaoke.

Host 1 (22:41)

Right. Like, right, right. All right.

Mike Whiston (22:45)

You got some splaining to do, Edmund.

Host 1 (22:48)

I got Edmund the Molly with hey.

Mike Whiston (22:49)

Stupid did from Alice Cooper and absolutely rocked the out of that.

Host 1 (22:54)

That was awesome, man. Yeah, I. I love like that, like, you know, the old school metal, you know, like the worst sounded.

Joe Ruby (23:00)

Yeah.

Host 1 (23:00)

It felt and the energy and it was. It was just great.

Joe Ruby (23:03)

Yeah, dude, you can't be the little old school Alice Cooper, man. Especially for Halloween time. I mean, you know, that was perfect.

Host 1 (23:10)

I'd still love to see Alice Cooper. I've still. I've never seen Alice Cooper.

Joe Ruby (23:12)

Me neither. That would be an awesome.

Host 1 (23:14)

Yeah.

Host 1 (24:42)

Oh, okay. Were you playing along and I missed your getting it?

Joe Ruby (25:14)

Oh, yeah, the Jessica Rabbit song.

Host 1 (25:16)

I think the very first song she ever posted in the group was that, you know, the Jessica Rabbit song there. And, you know, from that moment forward, she's been a staple in the community. She's been a rock star. Yeah. An absolute perfect song for FnK. Hocus Pocus Week. A Little Wicked by Valerie Broussard.

Dana Lavelli (28:59)

Am a little wicked. No one calls you honey when you're sitting on a throne. No one calls you honey when you're sitting on the throne.

Mike Whiston (29:16)

Will call you whatever you want if you keep on singing like that. Holy. That was so good.

Joe Ruby (29:21)

That was freaking awesome, dude. Awesome. Holy shit.

Mike Whiston (29:26)

Not just the singing.

Host 1 (29:27)

The singing was phenomenal and like the self duet and just kind of getting like. It was not just. The singing was amazing.

Joe Ruby (29:34)

The singing was amazing acting.

Host 1 (29:35)

And the.

Joe Ruby (29:36)

Oh, the chair, I think the. The set, you know, where she's, you know, sitting on the throne night was a hole. But, like, she had the big white chair with the. With the nail heads all around it, like, and just. It was like a freaking, like, music video. It was.

Host 1 (29:51)

She owned it.

Mike Whiston (29:51)

Like a freaking boss man, dude.

Joe Ruby (29:53)

That was like.

Host 1 (29:54)

Like, you know, I'm just throwing this out there, Dana. You know, Lovelli, you should be an.

Mike Whiston (30:00)

Actress if you're like.

Host 1 (30:01)

You should be acting.

Joe Ruby (30:02)

Yeah. You know what? Just perfect. You know what I liked? I liked her octaves part where she sang like one octave above, like, and duetted with herself like that. Like that. That was cool. Yeah.

Host 1 (30:13)

Absolutely phenomenal. That was Daniel Valley with A Little Wicked by Valerie Broussard. And, you know, I have to be honest, I've never heard that song before that.

Joe Ruby (30:21)

Me neither.

Host 1 (30:22)

This is the first time I've ever heard this song.

Joe Ruby (30:24)

And you know what? When if I actually ever hear, like, the real one on the radio one day, I'm gonna be like, oh, man, she did a cover of Dana's song.

Host 1 (30:30)

Yeah. But you know what? If I'm ever, like, just jamming out in the car and, like, that song pops in my head, it's gonna be Dana's version.

Joe Ruby (30:36)

Right.

Host 1 (30:37)

So that's kind of cool.

Joe Ruby (30:38)

Exactly.

Host 1 (30:39)

There's actually been a bunch of instances like that in Friday night Karaoke where the Friday night karaoke version is the one that, like, I find myself repeating. So when I'm out and about or, you know, just. I'm watching the dishes or whatever, and I'm just jamming out and singing a song in my head, I hear it as the person from Friday Night Karaoke. A great example is last week we featured Paul Bright and Heather Gunari with. Yeah, it was suddenly Seymour. Yeah. From Little Shop of Horrors. And I swear I heard that in my head. I've actually heard their version also. It's on the Times, but, like, I couldn't remember the original sound because I listened to theirs.

Joe Ruby (31:24)

Yeah. So much that Paul Bright voice was stuck in my head. Just. You know what? From a music that you are, though, from a music discovery point of view, like, I've heard a lot songs on FNK that I've never heard before. And then I would hear the original on the radio and be like, oh, I know that song. Like. Like, it sounds. Sounds different with the other guys singing it or something. You know, like, it's. It's been pretty cool listening to songs that may. I've never heard anywhere else.

Host 1 (31:52)

Yeah.

Joe Ruby (31:52)

You know, on FnK, it's pretty cool.

Host 1 (31:54)

It's pretty phenomenal.

Mike Whiston (31:55)

So, you know, we.

Host 1 (31:56)

We travel a lot. We've mentioned this in a couple previous podcasts, but I'm going to mention it again. And, you know, we can. We've done this. This plenty of times now in the Friday night karaoke community. So we travel a lot for work, and whenever we travel, we try to throw a karaoke party. Invite whoever's local to that party. In January, from the 16th to the 19th, we're going to be in Orlando, Florida. Wait, what was that? That musical? It was the Book of Mormon. He's talking about his favorite place in the world. Orlando. I love you, Orlando. Sea World. And, yeah, so good.

Joe Ruby (32:33)

I've never seen Book of Mormon, so sadly, I have to admit.

Host 1 (32:35)

Oh, my gosh. You have to watch it.

Joe Ruby (32:37)

But we're going to be in Orlando, and we always take everyone out.

Host 1 (32:40)

If.

Joe Ruby (32:40)

So if you're listening to this and you happen to be in the Orlando area In January, like, January 19th, we're going to a podcast conference because, you know, we're in podcasting, and also it's called podfest, and we're going to be there and we're throwing a karaoke party, like we always do. We just take a bunch of people out, out, drink karaoke, drinks around us all night. If you say, I'm with fnk, so. Little keyword there.

Host 1 (33:03)

Cheat code.

Joe Ruby (33:04)

Yeah.

Host 1 (33:05)

Yeah. So we're actually taking over a bar called O Shucks. It's where we usually do it in Orlando, and it's a really special bar to me because it's where all or many of the Disney cast members after work go to let off steam. So what you're actually getting is, like, it's a karaoke bar. Like a karaoke dive bar, really. But it's pretty big. And you have all these cast members from Disney who have just, you know, spent all day singing and everything and entertaining everyone else, and now they're there for them, and they're just letting it out and drinking and having a good time. And let me tell you, it's some of the best times I've ever had is in that bar at that conference. Man, I can't wait.

Joe Ruby (33:45)

So make sure it is kind of funny. It's kind of funny. You know, first during the day, they're.

Mike Whiston (33:49)

Like, like, let it go.

Host 1 (33:51)

Let it go.

Joe Ruby (33:52)

And then they get there and they're.

Mike Whiston (33:52)

Like.

Joe Ruby (33:55)

You know, it's. They change it around a lot.

Host 1 (33:59)

You know, it's almost like, do I sing Disney in front of them? Because they probably, like, hate everything about it. Like, you know, don't bring your work home.

Joe Ruby (34:06)

Yeah, exactly. But they do, actually. I'm not sure if we're doing that this year or how. With the moon, which is another really cool.

Host 1 (34:12)

I mean, you know, we're going to end up at ox.

Joe Ruby (34:14)

Yeah, well, we may do do both.

Host 1 (34:16)

Yeah, I'm. We'll probably do both. You know, the only problem is I always lose my voice in karaoke, and I have no desire to host a karaoke party if I have no voice. So if I. If I do one on the first night, it sucks the second I, I, I need to learn that control, you.

Joe Ruby (34:30)

Know, where you don't control is your biggest enemy. Well, you know you're nemesis, right?

Host 1 (34:37)

Like, one of the things I've been working on is talking less. Yes. And I'm gonna do that right now.

Mike Whiston (34:43)

As we move into our next song on the Friday night karaoke podcast, Hocus Pocus week.

Host 1 (34:48)

This is going to be Katie Rose.

Joe Ruby (38:49)

Oh, my God. Dude. Dude, here. First of all, Katie Rose's voice is killing it. I love it. She's got a killer rocker voice. I was wondering what it was gonna sound like with a girl singing that. And it did not disappoint. It was, it was a different, totally different animal. It was awesome.

Host 1 (39:06)

She rocked it and she has the scream down. We've talked about it a Million times before. But yeah, she has the scream down. She rocks it, you know. We call it the Scream Cream. Screen. Oh, God. Screen cream.

Joe Ruby (39:17)

Host 1 (39:17)

Screen scream.

Joe Ruby (39:18)

Oh my God.

Mike Whiston (39:19)

I can't say it.

Host 1 (39:20)

Sunscreen.

Mike Whiston (39:22)

The Scream queen. We call her the scream Queen for a reason.

Joe Ruby (39:26)

Wow.

Host 1 (39:26)

Katie Rose absolutely rocked some Dragula by Rob Zombie. Zombie, man. Rob Zombie actually lived, you know, real close to where I used to live in Connecticut. And you live in Connecticut. Close to you as well.

Joe Ruby (39:38)

We have the same accountant. And you know.

Host 1 (39:43)

That'S a small world. I know. Really? Yeah. Yeah, apparently it's not. I'm sorry, it's not Roxbury. It's Torrington. That's where he lives. Or like around there. That area somewhere around there. People sk all the time. Yeah, I don't know, I've never seen seen him. But it would be kind of cool too. I mean, it's freaking Rob Zombie, but perfect pick for Halloween week.

Joe Ruby (40:03)

I wonder if he looks like Rob Zombie when he's like out going to the mailbox getting his mail and stuff.

Host 1 (40:08)

You know, funny if it was like a wig, right? He has like, you know, like a one third part, right?

Joe Ruby (40:15)

A little comb over, right?

Host 1 (40:17)

Yeah, like a little comb over, 1/3 part. You know, freaking little pocket protector, you know, walks around, you know, Raven. It's just like a. It's like a paste on beard.

Joe Ruby (40:27)

Exactly.

Host 1 (40:29)

That would be the greatest. That would be the greatest. Like, you know, he just punked everyone for all these years.

Joe Ruby (40:34)

Right? Imagine that. More human than human, everyone.

Host 1 (40:37)

Thanks. How's it going, guys? That's great. You know, jams out to beaver, right?

Joe Ruby (40:47)

That's awesome. Anyway, Katie Rose, crushing it like always.

Host 1 (40:52)

Yeah, absolutely. And as I mentioned, Katie Rose has been a moderator of the Friday night karaoke community for a long time. And I want to give a big shout out to our moderators who have been just absolute rock stars in every way since the beginning. You know, it's a. It's a. I wouldn't say a thankless job, but it's kind of a thankless job to be a moderator. You know, like you're in there, big job, right?

Joe Ruby (41:12)

There's a lot of people. I mean, when we had like, you know, 3,000 people, it was a lot easier. But now we've got like 36,000 people in there and you got to pay attention and see what's going on. Keep the community good. Keep the community what it's supposed to be. So it's a work. So, you know, hat tip to the moderators. Thank you, guys. Thank you. All.

Host 1 (41:27)

Yeah, just remember the community is negativity free. It's ad free. It's really just all about the music. So when you're in those threads and you feel great coming to Friday night karaoke and posting your music and you see the great comments on your videos and you feel, feel the, you know, comfortable enough to share some great comments on others and, you know, just really engage with everybody. It's because of the moderators who are kind of sitting there on the back end and just making sure that, you know, any element that shouldn't be in the group isn't, you know, you know, people who are trying to just promote their own services or.

Joe Ruby (42:02)

Yeah, we had a bunch of that and people. And they get just crushed right away.

Host 1 (42:05)

It's great. Yeah, I love it. Yeah, it's a one strike. You're out. It's great.

Joe Ruby (42:08)

Yep.

Mike Whiston (42:19)

Host 1 (42:26)

On Apple, I'm proud to say as again or whatever.

Joe Ruby (42:32)

Way to finish that thought, buddy.

Host 1 (42:33)

Yeah, thank you. No, I pride myself on my linguistic skills.

Mike Whiston (42:38)

So coming up next, next.

Host 1 (42:40)

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Not just for Halloween, but ever. In College, I played Dr. Franken Fter in my college production of Rocky Horror Pictures Show. I've said that before. I'm going to say it again now.

Mike Whiston (42:54)

And this song is Sweet Transvestite. A little Tim Curry from Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Host 1 (43:00)

Right. And let me tell you, I, I, I had the pleasure of listening to this before. We're playing it right now. Right. And the spin on this, you'll see in a moment, is a little bit different. It's bubbly and what.

Mike Whiston (43:12)

So it's not what you would expect.

Host 1 (43:14)

And it's, it's almost like, I don't know, you know, Alicia Silverstone and Clueless, like, kind of like that, kind of, that kind of like vibe.

Joe Ruby (43:24)

Really.

Host 1 (43:24)

That's kind of the vibe. But Sweet Transvestite, you'll see what I mean. I just wanted to give like a little foreshadowing. All right, let's see it.

Joe Ruby (43:31)

Yeah.

Host 1 (43:32)

So here it is.

Mike Whiston (43:33)

It's going to be Lauren Greg with.

Host 1 (43:34)

Sweet Transvestite from Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Lauren Greg (43:40)

How do you do? I see you've met my faithful Handyman he's just a little brought down because when you knocked he thought you were the candyman don't, don't get strung out by the way that I look don't judge a book by its cover.

Host 1 (44:07)

Not.

Lauren Greg (44:07)

Much of a man by the light.

Angel Lark (44:10)

Of day but at night I'm one.

Host 1 (44:12)

Hell of a lover I'm just a.

Lauren Greg (44:16)

Sweet transvestite from transsexual Tritilvadia.

Host 1 (44:29)

Let me.

Lauren Greg (44:30)

Show you around maybe play you a sound. You look like you're pretty groovy. Or if you want something visual that's not too abysmal we could make it an OC Razorfee.

Mark Cross (44:47)

I'm glad we caught you at home. Could we use your phone?

Host 1 (44:52)

We're both in a bit of a hurry. Right. We'll just stay where we are, then.

Mark Cross (44:59)

Go back to the car. We don't want to be any worried.

Lauren Greg (45:04)

Well, you got caught with the fly well, how about that?

Backing Vocalist or Additional Singer (45:09)

Well, babies, don't you panic by the light of night it'll seem all right I'll get you a satanic mechanic I'm.

Lauren Greg (45:23)

Just a sweet chance that's dying.

Backing Vocalist or Additional Singer (45:27)

From.

Lauren Greg (45:28)

Transsexual Transylvania why don't you stay for the night or maybe a bite by? I could show you my favorite obsession I've been making a man with blonde hair and a tan he's good at relieving my attention I'm just sweet transde From Transsexual Transylvania.

Backing Vocalist or Additional Singer (46:06)

Hit it.

Lauren Greg (46:07)

I'm just a sweet transvestite.

Host 1 (46:12)

From trans.

Lauren Greg (46:13)

Bisexual Transylvania so come up to the lab and see what's on the slab I see you shiver with anticipation or maybe it's the rain really to blame so I'll remove the cause but not the symptom.

Mike Whiston (46:55)

Don't remove anything, just keep singing.

Joe Ruby (46:58)

Oh, man. Dude.

Mike Whiston (47:00)

So fun.

Joe Ruby (47:01)

Dude, you're totally right. Like, you're right that your description in the beginning was like, if. That. If she was a sweet transvestor from transsexual Southern California. Like, that is what I pictured, right? That that's what just happened. That was great. California. Yeah, right.

Mike Whiston (47:18)

Like, that was.

Joe Ruby (47:19)

That's what that was. She was great. She was great. I didn't know what to expect when you gave that lead in. And you did not disappoint nicely.

Host 1 (47:27)

I actually love what you just said. I want to make that. You know how they have, like, High School Musical, Like, High School Transvestite. You know, like. Oh, I don't know. That doesn't. It doesn't work. But, you know, High School Picture Show. How about that, right? High School Horror Picture Show.

Joe Ruby (47:40)

And she was great. What was her name again? She was fantastic.

Mike Whiston (47:42)

That was Lauren Greg with sweet Transvestite.

Host 1 (47:45)

From the Rocky Horror Pictures Show. And let me tell you, you are lucky that I chose Dark Jedi and not Tim Curry from, you know, not Dr. Frank N. Furter, because I'm not gonna come in my core set and my. My fishnets.

Joe Ruby (47:59)

Dude, I think everyone in whatever town in Japan you're about to go out and is lucky. I think that's.

Host 1 (48:04)

That's.

Mike Whiston (48:05)

No, they would love it.

Host 1 (48:06)

Japan's weird.

Mike Whiston (48:08)

Japan's weird.

Joe Ruby (48:08)

Yeah.

Host 1 (48:09)

I go out. I'd go out and they'd be like.

Mike Whiston (48:11)

Hey, Mike, what's up?

Host 1 (48:13)

Nice Halloween.

Joe Ruby (48:14)

Or is it Thursday already?

Host 1 (48:16)

Yeah, it's Thursday exactly.

Joe Ruby (48:22)

Oh, my God, dude.

Host 1 (48:25)

Yeah. I mean, I absolutely adore that movie. And I've actually never heard a version like that before. Before. I always hear, like, the kind of verbatim, you know, every note, every pause, every. You know, that's how I sing it when I sing that song, and that's how I usually hear it everywhere else. And this was a totally different way to. To just interpret it and go about it. And it was really fun. And it wasn't just the way she sang it then. The background totally was, you know, just the way the whole video was set up. Yeah.

Mike Whiston (48:54)

I mean, she's wearing, like, a bright.

Host 1 (48:55)

Pink shirt and everything.

Mike Whiston (48:57)

Like, totally.

Host 1 (48:58)

It. It was great. It was a fantastic rendition of the song. And thank you, Lauren Greg, for that.

Joe Ruby (49:05)

That was awesome. I loved it. Loved it.

Host 1 (49:07)

Nice job. And we're at that time of the podcast where we're down to one more song. So we need a song to end the podcast that. What a great body.

Joe Ruby (49:20)

Yeah. What's a great ending to the Hocus Pocus Halloween podcast week? What's the. What do you got?

Host 1 (49:26)

I have a perfect one. You know, I picked this one out myself for the last song of the podcast I did. And I figured, like, what better way to end it with a song from Hocus Pocus? This is gonna be come little children. If you remember, whatever her name is. Sarah Jessica Parker was, you know, up on her broom and luring all the children out in hocus pocus. Hocus. This is gonna be Nana. Oh, my God. I have to say the last name. Kata Jamaki.

Mike Whiston (49:56)

This is gonna be Nana Katamajaki. Little children from Hocus Pocus. Nana, I'm so sorry if I said your name wrong, but I'm trying.

Host 1 (50:05)

There's a lot of letters that I don't know how to say. Together.

Mike Whiston (50:11)

Nada Katamajaki with Come Little Children to.

Host 1 (50:14)

Round out the Friday night karaoke Hocus Pocus podcast.

Joe Ruby (50:18)

Let's hear this.

Backing Vocalist or Additional Singer (50:26)

Come little children, I'll take the away into the land of Enchan.

Host 1 (50:38)

Come little.

Backing Vocalist or Additional Singer (50:39)

Children, the time has come to play in my garden of shadow Follow, sweet children, I'll show thee the way through our painless Weep not what you render for life is this way and away.

Host 1 (51:42)

Into the.

Backing Vocalist or Additional Singer (52:04)

Satan spirit will take thee away into the land of enchan.

Joe Ruby (52:40)

Come.

Backing Vocalist or Additional Singer (52:40)

Little children, the time is called to play Here in my garden of shadows.

Mike Whiston (53:16)

What a great way to end.

Joe Ruby (53:18)

Oh, man.

Mike Whiston (53:19)

Dude, just creepy.

Joe Ruby (53:22)

Look at.

Host 1 (53:22)

That's a hell a of of us.

Joe Ruby (53:25)

That's a hell of an ending right there. That was. I like how she did that. All right, first of all, that recording could have been in the movie that.

Host 1 (53:32)

Yeah, it was flawless. Yeah, the, the, the reverb on that. You know, maybe people overdo it. Sound effects and special effects, but the reverb on that was absolutely perfect for the actual song that she was depicting. The video I get she had like the, the AR filter thing that they, you know, put the filter that you put on. But in addition to that, like, kind of like the way the video skipped like around and kind of had that like, it just. It fit. The entire thing fit like the, the reverb and the video and the, the way the motion worked and just. It was perfect. It was a perfect song for Halloween week. Perfect way to end the Friday night karaoke podcast. Again, that was Nana Katajamaki with. And again, that's probably not how you say her last name. I'm so sorry. With Come Little Children from Hocus Pocus and. And that was. Ah, that makes me. It gives me the feels and like, you know, a little bit of it's, you know, the, the. Wow, that's a great song. And all the other part is like.

Joe Ruby (54:27)

That was creepy as it was totally creepy. By the way, I want to throw a shout out here to like, audio quality. A lot of people like, oh, I can't record a song because I don't have all the professional recording equipment. I don't have the expensive microphones in the studio and everything. If you actually watch this on the video, she was using old school apple wire headphones. That whole thing was recorded with her with the two plugs in her ears and holding the little microphone just so it wouldn't, you know, ruffle against her shirt. That's how she recorded that entire thing with the high vocals and everything. Everything that she did There Apple old school microphone rewired headset.

Host 1 (55:02)

So but to that end, that's, that's pretty sick. If you want to sound as beautiful as me, make sure that you go out and get a Shure microphone MK7, because that's what I'm using and they.

Mike Whiston (55:11)

Are a sponsor of the Friday night karaoke.

Joe Ruby (55:14)

Yeah, no, look, I mean, obviously, you know, there's reason, there's a reason professionals use professional microphones. Right? Like, there's. But if you're thinking I can't record a song because I don't have that professional equipment, like, you're wrong.

Host 1 (55:25)

I mean, you know, she's amazing.

Joe Ruby (55:28)

Sick.

Host 1 (55:28)

I have this great equipment. I sound like a donkey's ass. So she's like recording on like, you know, wired old school Apple headphones and sounds absolutely phenomenal and hitting the notes and just has the attitude and the voice and the little inflections and all that kind of stuff and it's just perfect. And I have this like beautiful, expensive, nice recording equipment with like, you know, a whole bunch of like sound effects and all these things I can do. And I, I just don't. I, you know, it doesn't do it.

Joe Ruby (55:57)

The technology doesn't.

Host 1 (55:58)

I needed to sing for me actually with AI. It does it now, you know, it sings for you too. But it's not real. It's not.

Joe Ruby (56:13)

Anyway, that was fantastic. Great episode, by the way. Like, really good songs. I loved this. This was, this was great.

Host 1 (56:20)
