(upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) You can find them on Instagram. You can find them on Bandcamp and Spotify. And this week you can find them here on the podcast. I'm talking about the band, the surf hermits. They are a surf band based out of British Columbia. This is the song "Desert Beneath the Waves." It's an EP you can pick up over at their Bandcamp page at thesurfhermits.bandcamp.com. Big thanks to the band for giving us permission to play their music here on the Bride of Monster Kid Radio this week. Big thanks, seriously. Check out the EP and the rest of their albums over at their Bandcamp page. When you're done listening to the podcast, it's devoted to the classic and sometimes not so classic. It's genre cinema of yesteryear. I'm your writer, host and producer, Derek M. Cook. And as I announced yesterday over at monsterkidradio.net, as well as our Facebook page and group, we had a slight schedule change. We were originally going to talk about the movie, "The Phantom Carriage" this week here on the show. Beth and I were going to sit down, watch the movie, talk about the movie. We're really looking forward to it. We still will do that for next week's episode. There seems to be something going around out there right now. I'm calling it the Christmas cruds. People are getting bronchitis, walking pneumonia. People just aren't feeling well and it hit my lovely wife. She's just not feeling the greatest right now. She's going to be okay. She's feeling better today than she did yesterday and so on. But yeah, because of this, we do need to kind of shuffle things around a little bit. And that's okay because we've got some cool stuff this week here on the show. First of all, I want to tell you that Mark Matski's beta capsule review is back. Ultraman Ace, he's going through that show, episode by episode, and you can check all of our episodes over at Matsuki Radio Diamond. And you'll see that he's been covering Ultraman starting with Ultra Q. From the very beginning, almost every week here on the show, I'm excited to have him back this week to continue his journey through Ultraman Ace and the entire Ultras saga. Also this week, we've got a little bit of listener feedback. I've got an email and a voicemail or two we're going to go over. And we needed to have something to play this week in lieu of the Phantom Courage conversation. Well, fortunately, listener of the show, Mike R. Dittis a solid. He's been going to the Monster Bash conventions and he's been recording the various Q&A sessions that they've been doing there. And this week, we're going to be playing a Q&A session from a recent Monster Bash in which Mr. Monster Bash himself, Ron Adams, interviews and conducts a Q&A with horror host Kevin Scarpino, aka The Son of Ghoul. So we've got that conversation coming up in this episode of the podcast as well. Lots of good stuff to get to, so why don't we get to that right after this. ♪♪ Please, we're doing all we can for you.

Our voicemail line is area code 3605242484. And I recently discovered we can even receive text messages at that phone number as well, so he can text us. Or you can call us and leave us a voicemail like Captain Billy did. He went to go see the new movie Nosferatu. And he had some thoughts about it. And don't worry, there are no spoilers in his voicemail. I've already listened to it and made sure. So, Captain Billy? Hey, Derek, hey, group. Captain Billy here. Captain Billy went to the movies on Christmas because he doesn't love his family. Ah, no, no, no. We celebrated over the weekend. It made much more convenient for our work schedules and for in-law schedules, so. Went to the movies on Christmas Day and saw the new Nosferatu. I loved it. If I was in the position, I would have probably a younger man at a stronger bladder. I would have didn't want it a second time. It was so good. I've already entered. He directed the lighthouse and I can know a couple other things. I don't know off the top of my head, but it is really good. I really enjoyed it. Again, the same Nosferatu story you're, you know, in Dracula's where you're familiar with. But visually, very exciting. The performances, I think, were great. Boy, I mean, okay, I'll be a first to admit, it's too long. And there are, gets into a third act and I feel a few things here and there could have been trimmed down or one thing that could be removed entirely. But again, I just kind of feel like, well, you're just being a director's cut of this movie. There's a sort of version somewhere. You get to see a long version. So I know when it complains about how long all those Lord of Ring movies were, so. But again, I loved it. It's the best movie I've seen in the theater this year. Of course, because I've only seen like two other movies in the theater this year, so. Boy, I don't want to get into it to ruin it and I waited a day and that wakes them a little bit of the, a little bit of the fated. That's why it won't be so gabby to get to the review. But again, kids, if you don't have a fence, I cannot recommend this. Nosferatu, if you are not a monster kid, if you're got a newbie in your life and you spout meat. When whatever, who's not into horror, I don't know if I could recommend it to them. But if you ain't, if you're listening to the sound of my voice, you're into this, you will love this. That's my review, I'm gonna get going. I hope everyone has a happy new year of great shows always there. Give that beautiful, lovely, wonderful Beth a big hug for me. Bye. This is one that Beth and I really, really want to see. We just haven't had an opportunity to do that yet. Again, people just aren't feeling great right now. With low energy, that sort of thing. And we will see it. I promise. We will see it and I'm sure we'll mention it here on the show as well. I mean, how can we not see a movie called Nosferatu for crying out loud? What Captain Billy had some extra thoughts he wanted to call in. And again, the spoilers almost nonexistent here. I think he mentions one thing, but it's not enough to ruin the movie. At least I haven't seen the movie yet and I don't feel spoiled. So take it away, Captain Billy. So when I say I can't recommend it to non-horror fans, I don't think this should be someone's first introduction to the storyline. I mean, maybe you could bring someone who's open-minded or really, if you really love film. It's very cinematic in that all the dream sequences and all the night sequences were in black and white. Because my first thought was, "Ooh, it was really cool to see this whole movie in black and white." And then I thought if I thought, "No." If you turn the whole movie black and white, the part that are black and white would lose their effectiveness. So like every time this thing goes down, you it's a dream world kind of. But I think that was the point to being, you know, look, I don't know, Robert Eggers, I didn't talk to him. I am looking forward, dying to see this thing on Blu-ray. I want to watch it again because I love to hear a commentary and I want to see all the behind-the-scenes stuff. And then in four or five years, I hope they got criteria and get to all of it. Super Deluxe, two discer with all the stuff and three commentary, the director and the cap and the makeup crew and the special effects people. Like I said, I'm very excited about this film. So yeah, when I say maybe not someone, like I said, I just think it would really help if you knew the story already going in. So someone who came drag up, but yeah, I wouldn't. They did art for a reason, kid. Don't bring the children. Leave them home. I would say the right junior high kid could handle it. 13, 12, 13, 14, you know your kid. So we get three of our four reasons. But again, I think junior high could handle it if you know your kid. Yeah, again, I can't wait to see this movie. We are going to see this movie. We really, really are going to go see this movie, especially on the big screen. And I think that's the best way to do it. My experience with Robert Eggers is pretty limited. I've only seen the witch. I haven't seen his other movies, but Beth was telling me the other day that she had seen the Norseman and she said it was really, really good. So eventually I'll see that as well. I'm sure. Also, I did some checking and it looks like all the other Eggers movies that I'm familiar with anyway have been released on Blu-ray with a director's commentary. So you're in luck, Captain Billy. If you want to get the director's commentary as you were talking about, well, just wait for the Blu-ray. I'm sure he'll do a commentary track for Nosferatu as well. What I'm a little disturbed about, I'll be completely honest, is that, well, first of all, I apparently said the Norseman. It's the Norseman. I misspoke there. I'm not going to go back and correct it anyway. The other thing that I'm a little disturbed about, I'm a little worried about, to be completely honest, is I'm starting to see some rumors online that Eggers has now been tapped to direct a remake of a film that was pretty important to me growing up. A movie from the '80s featuring creatures and a bizarre adventure. I'm talking about labyrinths. Yeah, that labyrinth with David Bowie. You remind me of the babe. That movie. If Eggers is going to direct that, I don't know, man. I know Hollywood is dead, everything is a remix, and some of the best movies out there are remakes or at least reimagining of other source material. Heck, the Nosferatu is a reimagining of the original film, which was an adaptation of the original Dracula movie. So is Nosferatu technically a remake or is it just another adaptation of Dracula? Who knows? I used to be one of those guys that used to say, "I hate the remake. Kill the remake." In fact, I think it even had a couple of T-shirts that I sold on an old cafe press shop saying, "Kill the remake." I never sold one, but I was pretty adamant that remakes were bad. And I remember I appeared on an episode of Dread Media many, many, many moons ago, shout out to Des, by the way, where we talked about remakes and remakes that we actually liked as opposed to adaptations and that sort of thing. And I know a lot of people look at John Carpenter's The Thing as being a remake of Thing from Another World, when really it's just another adaptation of The Original Story by Campbell. I don't know. I have mixed feelings these days regarding remakes and such, but I do get a little protective about movies that informed who I am and meant a lot to me, and Labyrinth meant a whole lot to me. Not just because Jennifer Connolly was one of my 80s crushes and probably the first movie crush I remember having, but that movie is pretty awesome. And I watched it a lot, and I listened to the soundtrack and the score a lot, and I'm trying to envision Labyrinth through the lens of Robert Eggers based on what I've seen. And again, I've only seen The Witch, but yeah, I don't know. I'd love to hear what you think, though. If you've seen Nosferatu, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I know that it's been getting some mixed reviews that some people seem to really like it. Some people seem pretty bored by it. I'll be completely honest again. I'm a little confused by that, but, you know, I'm still going to go see it. I'd love to hear what you think, though, so please call us like Captain Billy did at 3605242484. There is a hard three minute limit on that voicemail line. I can't change that, but that doesn't mean you can't call back more than once. And I can just stitch the voicemails together into one audio file, or if you want to send us an audio file, you can do that too, at monsterkidradio@gmail.com. Or you can shoot us an email there as well, which is how I heard from Robert M. He sent me an email to subject heading a wonderful show. Garak, just wanted to say what a fantastic show. I've been listening for only a few weeks and have been going through old episodes and have been enjoying every minute. Well, thank you for writing in. Now, this is where things get interesting to me. You and I have a bit of shared background. Okay, that got my interest. Robert continues. I'm from and still live in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I graduated in '92 and also went to Laramie County Community College for a time. Then a monster kid all my life. That being said, it's a near miracle you and I never met. We've certainly shared some ground. I'm a big collector of monster toys and memorabilia. I collect posters, figures, autographs, you name it. I'm also a visual artist in my paintings tend to range into the EC Comics type. Or more specifically, I try. I'd love to hear from you. Best wishes, Robert M. Now, I'm going to shoot Robert email as well, but I wanted to read this on the show because I think that's just flat out cool. I know that podcasts can be listened to anywhere. I know that we have downloads in Australia and in Europe and South America and such. At least that's what the stats show. I don't know how accurate that is, but I think it's super cool that podcasts can go everywhere, but somehow this show that I do has reached through the pot of sphere and connected with somebody who, to quote him, shared ground with me. I wish we had known each other or had met each other or whatever. Now, there were three high schools in Cheyenne when I graduated in 92, which is when he graduated and I don't know which school he went to. I did go to Laramie County Community College in Cheyenne, Wyoming for three years from 92 to 95. And that's when I moved. During that time, I did work at giant video, or I guess it became blockbuster video at that point, as well as at a store called real collections in the mall there in Cheyenne, which was basically the suncoast video, but owned by a different company. We sold movies. So at some point, actually, I worked at both real collections and a blockbuster video and only once or twice did I mix them up when I answered the phone. Fortunately, it was my best friend at the time, Jared, who had called real collections when I answered his blockbuster video and he just started laughing at me, but still I wish I had known you. You know, it would have been a lot of fun to have a fellow monster kid in my life at that point. At that point, I was kind of on my own in terms of the classic monster stuff. But still, Robert, I'm going to shoot you a private email. I'd love to connect with you a little bit more. And really, that's one of the coolest things about this podcast is I know that it's brought certain people together. It's brought people into my life. It's reconnecting me with people, that sort of thing. And I'd love to hear from you. I'd love to hear from you about anything regarding anything we've talked about on monster kid radio or the bride of monster kid radio or heck, even going as far back as my mail order zombie podcast. Again, you can email me at monster kid radio at gmail.com. I do have a couple of other emails when I'm going to sit on those until Beth is feeling better so that I can go over those with her because, well, they're kind of relevant to her. So I'm going to sit on those as well. But again, I'd love to hear from Robert or Captain Billy or, well, you. I'd love to hear from you. Ah, thank you. I've been standing there for centuries. Yes, I suppose it seemed like it's raining, but you're not wet. No, I'm not, am I? Where are you coming from? I was watching a wonderfully terrifying level feature movie. I was a teenage Frankenstein in Blood of Dracula. Professor Frankenstein created a teenage monster to bring havoc and terror to all who meet him. But he left a few parts out, particularly in the poor lad's face. In the land, I am in Blood of Dracula. Quite unfriendly, except when hungry, than any friend will do for a few ghastly moments. Oh, here's where I must leave you. But there's nothing here but an old cemetery. Yes, I know. I want to meet some old friends here. After you see, I was a teenage Frankenstein in Blood of Dracula. You might drop back here. We'll discuss the pictures to some lane. Yes. Yes, I'll do that. It's murder at its Marius, with guns. Yes, y'all. And Abbot and Castello in their wildest and newest mystery comedy, Abbot and Castello meet the killer for its call-off. The curse of the Mummy's tomb. A bandage and bone monster stalking the cryptomaniacs with defiled extreme of terror. And the Gorgon, a she-monster who turns living screaming flesh into silent stone. It's a two-for-one monster bizarre, two terrific terrors for the price of one, with the never-before-offered special free boner. Like stamps. Of your favorite monsters for the first 10,000 people in life. It's the curse. The curse of the Mummy's tomb. And the Gorgon. He said the Gorgon. Both in petrifying color, you know. They will prize in you. Live from the land of light in Nebula M78, home of the mighty ultra-heroes, its monster kid radios beta capsule review. Ultimate Ace – Episode 20 – Stars of Youth is the Stars of Two. While on a routine air patrol, Hokuto is drawn to admire the north star. His reflective mood is broken when he observes a luxury cruise ship flying through space. He investigates, but since the object doesn't show up on radar, the tack team questions the veracity of Hokuto's report. Captain Ryu suggests the time-off might do Hokuto some good, so he takes a vacation at a seaside resort. To his amazement, he discovers the very ship he saw in space, anchored in the harbor, and serving as a hotel. On board, he meets college student Ichiro Shinoda, who insists that the ship is very much moored in place and could never fly in the way Hokuto describes. Nevertheless, the two strike up a wary friendship until Terrible Monster Xemla Star appears, threatening to destroy both the harbor town and Shinoda's mysterious ship. Episode 20 of Ultraman Ace, which first aired August 18th, 1972, tells a story that at first seems a bit off-kilter, but builds to a surprising and somewhat moving conclusion, with the moored ship serving as a metaphor for Shinoda's feelings of being stuck in life. We also learn some meaningful things about Hokuto, not only that his name derives from the Big Dipper constellation, but also that he's willing to entertain the thought that his service to tack might be limiting his personal freedom. However, he realizes that his responsibilities are of greater importance, and his transformation with Minami into Ace is one of the best so far. Significantly, the winsome actor playing Ichiro Shinoda, whose stage name was Saburo Shinoda, would take the role of Kodorohigashi, the human host of Ultraman Taro, in the next ultra series of the same name, which began its broadcast run in 1973. For Monster Kid Radio's beta capsule review, this is Mark Mansky reporting. And upheaval of nature tears loose a creature out of the nightmare of time, spawned by an earthquake on the bed of the ocean, a reptilian earth shaking feasts to the sea.

(applause) What's happening? (applause) Okay, Kevin has, how long have you been doing son of rule? In June of this year will be 39 solid years. And aren't you at this point the longest running on Braun Air? The other guys started before me, some guys were playing 50 years, 45 years, but their broadcast time was broken. I've been on heavy weekend for almost 39 years. (applause) I signed off life on a Saturday, and by the next Friday I was on at the new station, so I never even missed a week. Going from one station to the other, so. How did it all begin? The origin of son of rule. Well, going up in Cleveland, we had three stations back in the 60s, and there was a character called Goulardi, one channel eight. The famous Goulardi, and I had no idea that there was horror hosts and other parts of the country. I didn't even think about it. I thought Goulardi was just a one-day thing, you know. He was on for three and a half years. And at the same time, the Beatles coppered America, so it was like a big thing for me. Then in the 70s, a guy came on for the Goul, and he recreated the Goulardi image with the beard mustache, the friday, the buttons and all that. And around 1981, I was a fan of the show. 1981, he had a lookal icon, just held it the whole cleave in the gora. And I always had like a Goulardi Goul-type costume that I would wear. I had it since I was a kid, and my punches and I would go out on Halloween, and that'd be my costume. And then it would go up in the closet, and I'd forget about it again. Well, he had just lookedal icon, just. The grand prize was the winner's segment on his show. So the contest took place for five weeks in a row. They judged the winner by a clause from the audience. I was the grand prize winner. I wanted to say it on the show, "He named me son of Paul." So that's how it started. And then again, I did the second on the show. If it's over, I had fun. I never even thought about being on TV. I'd never be able to do that. So I will back in my regular, "What if I played in music?" So I've always been a musician, so I was out playing in bands and stuff most of the time. So let us just graduate to like 1983, '84, '84. A station came on the UHF station in Canville, my old channel, '67. And they had a host called Coolville. Now he was the second. There was also a Coolville that was on in Cincinnati, Ohio in the '60s. Well, this Coolville done the same costume, did the same stick. And he started on the level of the station. Well, that particular year, they were hosting the Gerduas Thalemont. And they hit the local part of the broadcasting of the station. And the Coolville was out there showing three Stooges movies on the wall outside of the station only. And he invited the public to come out and drop their money in for Jerry Skeds and watch Stooges. Well, I played a gig that night and was done. In the three o'clock in the morning, I was driving home and thought, "Hey, you have so many Stooges movies out there." So I drove out of the station, dropped my money in the fish bowl, walked some Stooges, and I met George Cavender, the Coolville. It was doing segments. I told him about my woofle-like experiences. He invited me to come to the station the next week to see a taping. I did observe what they were doing. And I thought, "You know, this is very cool." The next week, I just kind of showed up and uninvited. Like a weirdo walking in the back door to everybody like, "Oh no, there's a guy here again." When that was the last, I ended up getting the job as a board-ob at the Top Television Station, running the commercials and programs on the air. And about six months after I was working there, the host, George Cavender, he decided he was going to leave the station. He's going to quit. So I thought, "Well, we in a minute, they have a time slot. They have an audience. This stat's been on for a year and a half now." So I went into the general manager and I just said, "Hey, what are you going to do with the time slot once she's gone?" And I think, "I don't know. We might rerun his old shows." I said, "Well, you know what? I had an idea." I said, "I like to revive the old Galardi idea to change it. I knew I had to change it costume." So I did. I dropped a most single lingo and all that stuff here. Kept some things about it. And he said, "Let me see a dental tape." I gave him a little VHS tape. And now it's almost 30 years later. You're going to enjoy it. Great, great stuff. Now, rewinding a little bit further. I talk to you on the phone many times. Yes. You're just like all of us. You're not just some of the TV personality. You're a monster kid, too. Oh, yeah. You grew up with the same stuff we did. What weather with things that you like at 9, 10, 11 years old? Well, one of my Christ's possessions is there was a candy shop where I lived. And all this neighborhood kids, we were all allowed to go to the candy shop together. And they were that young. And in a candy shop, he also sold Aurora models. And they had cars and they had monster models and stuff. And on top of that candy freezer, there was the Big Frandy, Big Frankenstein. And it was already put together as a display month. And I had no idea that they sold kids. I thought that was old. What is this? And they asked the owner, I just, how much is that? It's not for sale, kid. Yeah, man. So every time we went to the candy shop, I bugged this guy all summer. How much is that? It's not for sale, kid. So finally, one day, I think he got sick to me in his candy right there. How much is that? Five bucks. I could remember running home as fast as I could run. And asking my mom for five bucks, I might as well said five thousand. You know, I was like, yeah. Five dollars. So after I first passed, it fits on the floor for about 30 minutes. She gave me the five bucks. I wouldn't bought the thing. Right now it's sitting in my living room, staring at me like when I go home. And it's a display model. I never had a box to it. And the reason I say that is because you open it up. The inside of it is the same code as the outside, so they did each piece. So that kind of means a little bit weird. And besides monster stuff, a lot of us monster kids also grew up listening to the radio and music. And I know you're also in the music. Don't you have a public parking story? I got to, I was lucky enough to do a 25 minute press conference. Unless you didn't come to Kentucky at the Paul McCartney press conference. And I literally sat directly in front of Paul. This was. And I asked him a question, me laugh. And it was pretty cool. It was in the same thing. And how about collecting, did you, you collected records as well as monsters? Oh yeah, I'd have had massive, I still have most of my 45s actually. I still have because I have a lot of albums that I haven't seen. I'm even sick when I first was on the first TV station. I took my entire album from the station and kept it in this closet. It wasn't that I know that employees went through my stuff and took everything they wanted out of it. But now what are you going to do? Also in the rock and roll and blues field, I was with friends with Stevie Ray Vaughan. Nice. Stevie Ray Vaughan. I hear you're Stevie for the show and for some odd reason you likely. I don't know why. But he did. He was the kind of person that I keep on saying is he had such an aura about him. I swear if he would have put him in the room and turned off the lights, I think he wouldn't blow them in the dark. He's just really a warm, wonderful person. Traged books. What are some of your favorite monster movies? Well, my all-time favorite is a brighter Frankenstein. That's my all-time favorite. And the whole Frankenstein series I loved, I grew up with that. The Cyclops, the Colossal Man, all those were always favorites of mine. Now you did a really interesting edit job with Frankenstein and brighter Frankenstein, didn't you? Well, what I did was if you watch the movie, especially if you watch Bride, at the beginning of the movie, she starts calling those two guys. Well, that's not the end of the story. She starts telling what it actually is. It showed us other weenewill and stuff burning as she's talking over. So what I did was I took the first frame of the Frankenstein movie and I took the very last frame of the windmill and took the first frame of the windmill from Bride. I put it together and I covered up her talking with the crowd chant. So now, if you watch my version, it just goes on. The windmill falls down, the guy plugs the stick through, he falls through, and the movie just continues. I hear you, Kabio. Yeah, it flows perfectly. Yeah. You wouldn't know it wasn't supposed to be that, will it? Yeah. Now, you have a lot of your shows done in the past. There's one that you had sent to me that was hysterical, water skis. Can you tell that story? My brother, who's passed, he went down the lake and he had a speedboat and he had one of those inner tubes. I'm tired of the back. Well, we went down to film some segments and he said, "Well, why don't we put you on the back of this end of the tube and I'll drag you around the lake?" I sure brought the clip. I didn't bring it. But my brother was completely relentless in trying to hurt me. And you can definitely see he just pulls on the speed and man, I hit the water. I don't think I can't stop anymore. Did you lose some of your costume or something? Well, if you were a cop first, the first son would go have an opening wave. And I'd lost glasses. One time I went and tripped with the TV station and went to a club med into Bahamas. And we were filming a segment on the beach. And there's a lot of people on the trip with this. And this speed wave came in. Everybody that was wearing glasses, we all lost our glasses in the surf. And the only car to wash back up the disease. What are some of the, of all these 39 years, what are some of the most memorable or funniest things that you think you've accomplished on this show? If you've heard to say, you know, that was one of the questions I've always had as we shot the show. You know, I had to make crew there. But my question would always be, is what we did funny outside of this circle of people? Because my crew would be busting up, you know, and that's like, well, well, other people laughed at it. I don't know, different things has happened. So, from a jungle bar, bring him out of a snake, he got a bit in the net right on the air. And the one time he brought in a whole bunch of crickets. And he opened up this box in thousands of crickets, just went all over the studio. And, you know, different things happened. And I was involved in nine years of co-hosting Jerry Lewis Dullophones. And I got a great Jerry Lewis story, if you'd like to hear that. Jerry, at the end of the telephone, they gave us all citation to Merit, thanking us for being a co-host woefully for Jerry Lewis Dullophone. And we got a rubber stamp of Jerry's name on the citation. So Jerry happened to be appearing in Akron, Ohio at a club that's now closed. But it's before Jerry got sick and gained weight and all that, went through all that. So, I bought tickets for the show, and the girl I was dating at the time, we went to the show, and I took my citation and Merit with me. And just by chance, I took my little dream coaster, and I wrote "Dear Jerry, I've been a Dullophone co-host for nine years, I'm about eight or nine years at this time, on WACM team. How about an authentic autograph?" So, when the waitress came to the table, I said, "Hey, could you give me a favor?" I said, "Could you take this bat stage and see if you could get Jerry to sign this?" And she says, "Well," she says, "How to take it bat?" She goes, "I can't guarantee you that he will." She says, "But, and you'll have to wait until the end of the night when the lights go up until I'll bring him back to you." So, I said, "Okay, fine, thank you." So, she took him back, and he sees the show. Jerry was fantastic that day. He did everything he wanted to do. He was great. So, after the show, everybody's getting up and leaving, and I'm still sitting there, and I see the waitress coming up, and she's carrying my citation. I think, "Oh, here it comes." And she walks up, and she says, "I'm so sorry, but Mr. Lewis just isn't signing anything tonight." And I said, "Thanks anyways." And I looked at it, and it was signing. And I looked at it, and she goes, "You told me to say it." (Laughter) It's real. Sorry. Don't go again. Don't go again. But, okay, your show now. What station are you on, and where can people pick it up if they're not in Ohio? Where can they watch the show? I'm on a local station in Kansas, Ohio. W-I-V-N, that's it. And if you can't pick it up, then nobody can. You can go to my website, sungold.net, and the live stream, the station live stream. Sunday night, eight o'clock, Eastern time. You can get it for free. Just go to my website, click in, eight o'clock, and it'll be up $2 by 8.05. (Laughter) Kevin, thank you so much for being part of Monster Rash. Since 1997, since 1997. (Applause) It's your revenge, Kevin Stable. He's in the cast of all that room with the hammer dials. Yeah. Stop by, and come back for Stooges tonight. I got cartoons in the morning, and Little Rascals Sunday morning. All right. (Applause) (Music) That brings us to the end of this episode of Monster Kid Radio. Big thanks to Mike for recording the Q&A sessions at Monster Bash. I've got a couple of the other ones that he sent me stashed away on a hard drive. Really? Monster Bash is one of those events that I miss going to. I haven't been in the past several years now. And I know it's like Steve Turk from the Die Cast movie review. He goes, and he gets a lot of interviews, and he covers it over on his show. So I get to live vicariously through Steve's podcast. Whenever he goes to Monster Bash, and I get to see all the posts on Facebook and that sort of thing. But I really, really miss it. If you haven't been to Monster Bash, I highly recommend you make the trip. Check them out over at Creepy Classics.com. You're going to find Monster Bash. You're going to find what they sell. They've got a lot of stuff for sale. A lot of really good stuff, and the prices are really good as well. And you're supporting another Monster giving. Ron loves this stuff.

Of course, card subject to change. But get over there now, seriously. Vendor tables are already sold out. And they can tell you the vendors are part of the fun that Monster Bash. But if you're not in the vendors, there's movies playing pretty much nonstop. There's Q&A segments or sessions. There's just so much fun there. You got to go. You got to go. I got to go back. And this is how I know I married right. Beth and I will be talking about future plans and she'll just throw out there. I really want to stick it to Monster Bash next year. So there's a chance. Fingers and tentacles crossed. We can get our finances and everything else worked out. We'll be at Monster Bash in the near future. I miss all of you at Monster Bash. I miss the monsters.
