ROTN Mournings

Join a whole cast of ROTN and friends as we celebrate Faults Day! This episode was recorded live, to the best of our knowledge, and we went live when we were recording it. So. That’s live right? I mean, this is podcast. I don’t know when you are listening to it. If you are still in the room with us when we are recording it, and are also alive, then this is as live as it gets. C’est la vie. Which is French for … something. There… French words. Classy, right?

Join us today on the podcast this morning as we do the podcast that you are listening to right now! We discuss new shows! And then a shallow dive into cartoon fan theories! So give us a listen! With your ears! Man, ain’t listening grand? You know what isn’t grand? Water logged sandwich bread. Guys, don’t eat that - that sounds disgusting.

In this episode, ROTN discuss the news - spoiler alert - there ain’t a lot of news then go on to explain faults day. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The world's leading expert on European wasps walks into a record shop.

He asks the assistant “Do you have ‘European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2? I believe it was released this week.”

“Certainly,” replies the assistant. “Would you like to listen before you buy it?”

"That would be wonderful," says the expert, and puts on a pair of headphones.

He listens for a few moments and says to the assistant, “I'm terribly sorry, but I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and this is not accurate at all. I don't recognize any of those sounds. Are you sure this is the correct recording?”

The assistant checks the turntable, and replies that it is indeed European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2. The assistant apologizes and lifts the needle onto the next track.

Again the expert listens for a few moments and then says to the assistant, "No, this just can't be right! I've been an expert in this field for 43 years and I still don't recognize any of these sounds."

The assistant apologizes again and lifts the needle to the next track.

The expert throws off the headphones as soon as it starts playing and is fuming with rage.

"This is outrageous false advertising! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and no European wasp has ever made a sound like the ones on this record!"

The manager of the shop overhears the commotion and walks over.

"What seems to be the problem, sir?"

"This is an outrage! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps. Nobody knows more about them than I do. There is no way in hell that the sounds on that record were made by European wasps!"

The manager glances down and notices the problem instantly.

"I'm terribly sorry, sir. It appears we've been playing you the bee side."

Join us as we discuss ROTN News. I mean there isn’t any, but we discuss the hell out of it anyway. Then, even though, literally no one asked us to, we jump right into discussing how other countries celebrate New Years. It’s fun. You’ll like it. We like you. (You’re our favorite listener. Don’t tell the other listeners)

Join as we discuss different legends and traditions around the Yule season and in true ROTN fashion, we do so poorly.

Join Matt, Brandy and Scott discuss ROTN News then go into a discussion on Adult Innuendo in children’s programming. Some of these are just urban legends but some these you can see for your real actual self. With your eye parts. Your own eyes. Don’t try to use my eyes - that would be weird like hey man, my eyes are up here. What was I talking about just now? I have no idea. I just start writing these and you know, I just keep going. What can I say? I’m wordy. I use a lot of words. Words about all kinds of stuff. Sometimes they aren’t even real words. I make words up. So I guess in that sense it’s I have words like I have friends. Made up and nonsensical. Anyway, I love you guys.

Join Matt & Scott as they somehow manage to hack and cough through an episode that starts off poorly and ends worserly. Today we discuss three men & a baby and look for a new producer. I think this episode is about ghosts. Which may not be real. And this one is a story that isn’t real. So do two unreal things…. Lead to a real thing? Stay tuned or listen or whatever the podcast equivalent is, which we totally know the name for but we are just testing you. Pass the test and you get to enter the gate. Where we keep the ponies.

In the Season Premiere of ROTN Mournings we introduce the Season 6 - Pop Culture Urban Legends. Episode 1 kicks off with us, as always discussing our very serious ROTN news, and perfectly planned plans and then discussing the Madela Effect.

Season Premiere of Season 5. The start of something awful.

You sneaky little episode! How’d you get in here!?
