Welcome to CertainSkale Rewind with your hosts, Matt Fondleer and Ian Bag.

Hey, what's up everybody? Welcome back to Sword and Scale Rewind. I missed you guys. It's been a really long week, but I'm glad you're here.

My name is Matt Fondleer. I'm one of the hosts of this show, and I'm also really glad that Ian Bag is here again.

Well, hello Matt. You ready to talk? I'm ready. I'm ready. We're not, are we talking murder today? Is this the actual first ever true crime podcast where we just discuss crime? That could very well be the case. Yeah. We, as you know, listener, we tend to cover the episode number that corresponds with the episode of Sword and Scale. So in the case of episode 169, we're talking about episode 169. But here's the thing. Episode 169 is kind of about episode 169.

It's very much about 168. And we've already covered episode 168 in excruciating detail. I'm told. So. Is that what somebody told you? I'm making that out of my own worst enemy. I was like, was I was, you guys talked a little dude. Yeah. It's my own brain.

He cut Ian off too many times. He should let the man talk more. No, that's why everybody in shot up and let Matt finish. That's what they tell me all the time. I'm like, I'm sorry. I apologize. And quit saying like that's what my mom says. See, you don't like when you say the word like, but I can tell you I never notice it. I heard you pointed out in episodes, but I don't notice it.

It's when I'm really thinking my brain goes like, like, like, like, like, we all have those. We all have the text. I've got lots of so and lots of my mom's out of school. You all right. I'm trying to relate to you. God damn it.

Yeah. Oh, good times. 169. Yeah. Do you remember one? Do you remember what episode 69 was? No episode 69. I don't just because we're talking about 60 now. I'm just wondering if you remember doing that one as well. I could look it up real quickly.

You know, I will want you to fill a bus because you did you did 140 of these before I showed up. Right. Oh, yeah. I was actually I don't know if everybody knows the story. Let's gather around gather around folks. So here's the deal. Guys, I know if you've heard, but I work around girl. It's come up on this show before what now completely unrelated to that job. I loved this podcast. Sorting scale. Now Adam Corolla's now unfortunately ex wife.

Lanette Corolla was really into true crime stuff. Right. And I got you divorced. I'm not killed. That could have gone a totally different way. She might have been learning stuff. Yeah. Well, I told her about this awesome show on sort

and scale that I thought she would really like she and her co-host Stephanie Wilder Taylor got super in disorder scale to the point where they reached out to Mike Bude.

Oh, now for a really long time, Lanette and Stephanie, the podcast co-hosts of a show on the Corolla network became the hosts of sort and scale rewind. I was the producer of that show mostly because I stuck my big nose and everything. You should make this happen. And I want to be a part of it. So even though I was not on the microphone from episode one. I was behind the glass.

Oh, you started producing. And then you turned into that. That's right. By the way, this may be the first show that women have been replaced by men.

Sorry, girls. It goes around the other way. We need to get some females involved. Well, anyway, so over the years. So what my role has changed a lot over the when did you start going on air?

I am not exactly sure was probably. I was well over 100 episodes over 100. I would say more like 100 in 15 something like that where Lanette just became extremely busy. And I was like, I'm just I'm here anyway. I live in this building.

I wonder if she started to break down to because just murder murder murder coming. It was a lot to go. It was a lot to listen to and then a lot to kind of reanalyze and try to figure out the best way to approach it comedically.

I had sort of guest hosted a few episodes earlier on in the run. And I don't think they knew how much of a hand I am. Oh, no, I was like, fuck yeah, give me the mic. I do this by myself.

And they're like, Matt, we're trying to take this very serious. Yeah, maybe you should pump the brakes a little bit.

Could you could call in the victim a loser. Yeah. That's that's unfortunate. Oh goodness. So they go. That's that is that's the whole story. So that's why Corolla and Sword and scale are like.

They're kind of related through me. And that's how I ended up here because I did at a show and you're like, hey, you should talk about murder. Yeah, it was like your funny guy. I should try to ruin your life. And I don't feel like you're doing enough crying.

You know, it's great is I will bring up the show on stage at the end of my show. I'll say, hey, I got some podcasts and one of them is you like murder. And I recently I was in Chicago. I was like, that's that's their sport.

I brought that up. And like, I got a lot really funny every time I say, do you like murder. They all clap. It's so fun. That's great. So I bring up sword and scale. And I say, I'm not on that. But I do the autopsy show. That's what I call it. The autopsy show.
