This is an IHeart podcast.

Hey, and welcome to the short stuff.

Josh here, Chuck here, Jerry, no here, Dave, no here.

That's okay.

Because like I said, it's a short stuff.

Good evening, everyone.

We are Death Cap Mushroom.

Yeah, that's a great one.

It's a metal band, right?

For sure, even just Death Cap would work, too.

Death Cap for cutie even would be cool.

Oh, man. I like those guys.

Yeah, they're great.

Did you like Postal Service?

I love the Postal Service more than Death Cab.

It's just the one more than Death Cab.

It's just the one dude from Death Cab, right? Isn't his solo project? Not solo. Ben Gibbard, he linked up with someone else. It's like him and another guy. I can't remember the other guy.
