'Leak Like Giuliani' Origins / Update
🕑 Added 2021-11-01 16:02:44 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
Someone asked during the last zoom meeting whether I had any other repurposed Songs on the Computer a la 'The Irishman Theme Song.' This reminded me that 'Leak Like Giuliani' was initially a Tyrone Biggums mashup that Netflix commissioned for the release of Chappelle's Show. There ended up being some dumb drama where Chappelle got mad about Netflix streaming the show without him making any of the residuals or something. So Netflix ended up pulling the show (temporarily?) and the project was killed. I like 'Leak Like Giuliani' better so it's for the best. If you listen closely, you can hear the "hummina humminas" at 2:09 toward the end of 'Leak Like Giuliani.'
Speaking of Saturday's zoom, I am sad to report that I wasn't able to record the meeting. I swear I hit a button that says "record all meetings" but apparently I did not.
Here's a quick written recap:
Robot Desmond Halloween Costume
‘Chrissy Teigen' opener
Joined by Adam on drums
Cowboy Jon died, delaying the stream by an hour (car crash)
Ghost of Cowboy Jon arrives
Impromptu performance of 'School Board Meeting' - sung backwards by me
'Unleash Your Spirit'
Greezy Rick shaved his beard
Pat is Beetle Juice
Technical difficulties
Jamie drinks Bloody Hot Toddy (loves it)
Impromptu performance of 'Predator' (forgot to turn my guitar back up for the band which made things interesting)
'Brendan Fraser is Back' with Adam on cajon
'Where Did the Gremlins Go' - paused mid performance to make sure Cowboy Jon didn't forget his sax solo
'Sideshow'
Cowboy Jon isn't really dead, was running late and too embarrassed to admit it
'Software'
Am I missing anything? I need to confess that I had a few drinks. The reality behind the hour long delay is I was still editing the YouTube performance at 8:15 pm and it was taking too long to export. I was worried we would need to cancel altogether for a minute. But thanks to my band who prepared the room for the zoom performance, my wife who hastily prepared my costume, and alcohol which allowed me to have a fun time, the show went on.
Okay some housekeeping before I go. I've learned there is an option to 'charge patrons up front (for first month)' which I'll be switching to. Basically the current settings allow folks to sign up, download all of the goodies and then bail before billing goes through. I don't believe this will effect anyone here today but Patreon said I should let you guys know for some reason. I understand money is tight for a lot of people and I don't hold it against anyone, but I really want to get a sense of how much of the money coming in is *real money* so I can put it back into making this a better experience the fine citizens of Halloween Planet who are paying their taxes.
Also, keep an eye on this folder if you're a fan of the Super Deluxe stuff. Someone pointed out that there are like 30+ songs missing which I'll be uploading today.
All right that is all for now. Holler if you need anything!

Saturday was my first time joining a zoom meeting and I loved every second of it. I can also add to what the others are saying in that this is a quality Patreon page. I've never actually backed anything on here before but this page is loaded with so much quality content it really feels worth it. Thanks for putting in such a great effort for us.

Thanks Brady! No big updates on the rat saga. But it is definitely ongoing.

Sorry to say I missed the fun over the weekend. Hope everyone had a blast! Just wondering if the show included any update regarding the ongoing saga of the basment rat. This is a wonderful Pateron page with plenty of content for the supporters. Congrats to Nick and the gang on a great first month. I'm glad you got into the weeds on the Mandatory Halloween tax at last, and that citizens will no longer be able to skirt it.
