In part two of episode 85, Doktor Faux and returning Hypercube contributor Doktor Purge return to the Studio after an evening of laughing hysterically in the other room. Reverand peas and Cosmac join in a block-table discussion about trans-rights, identity and the purpose of self. No, really, they do.
After begging us for weeks to let him back on the show, Rev Ivan Stang returns for his second TFTS appearance in as many years to fill the dank shoes of peas, who is absent this week on account of he was playing Chicken in the street again. Stang talks about yodeling ticks, his experience of being hired to kill Andre Agassi’s ball-boy, and the fact that his dog, Buddy, is safe and sound. After a comprehensive lesson on copyright law, scalpod and Dok Cosmac join the show and fight over which one of them gets to host this week’s round of “Is It a Band”. Stang invents a new drinking game called “Do a Shot Every Time I Throw a Handful of Pasketti at Fidd”. The game is played, causing impoverished children to cry out what little water their bodies still harbored over the waste of pasketti, which ends up being the funniest part of the show. Happy fuckin’ birthday.
Mark Hosler of Negativland joins Doktor Faux and Caller23 on the HyperCOMM. Mark recounts his recent European tour and the utilization of anchor-gigs. Faux asks why Negativland put out a new album (TRUEFALSE), and the duties of being a surviving member of an aging avant-garde performance troupe. Caller23 follows up with questions like “who is suing you now?” and what it’s like meeting the guy who had been pirating your music for a decade. Stickerguy is a nice guy.
