Record. Check, check, check, check. There we go. Well, look at that. Back at it again. Welcome to

Showbertime. Klein Alley's Showertime. It's like the show minus any sort of plan.

Overtime pay. Or overtime pay. Well said. Cline and Allie together again. It's been a while since we've

talked. How are you? What's the update in the last 11 seconds since I saw you in the office? What's going on? Not much. Just making sure we're working here. I don't know. I feel like someone was in here tinkering with stupid shit like they shouldn't have been, but they were. This whole studio thing was a mistake, but it's okay. I'm getting more used to it, this room. It's freezing and there's a lot of congestion

over here with the microphones. There's three microphones all right next to each other.

And they're not working if you look at your wave files, like they're not even working

like they should be. That one. Oh, that one works better. Maybe you should go on that one.

What is that? Those ones seem to work.

Hello, hello, hello.

Hello, hello, hello. Let's do that one. Meow, meow. All right, well, anyway. Meow, meow. We're just in here killing time until Jake walks in, and we can all act disappointed together. But we distracted him. I guess we can't talk about the thing, right? Well, I don't think he'll hear about it because at this point, I don't think he listens to, even though he does upload the show over time. He doesn't listen because whenever there's like glitches, we always find out from listeners that are like, hey, by the way, the episode was all echoey and Jake's like, my bad, I'll redo it. Yeah, so if we talk about it, don't snitch on us and tell Jake. Yeah, so we were supposed to have, um, unbeknownst to Jake,

we did agree and behind the scenes, we did work to get his childhood, boyhood hero, and adulthood hero,

by the way. Mainard James Keenan was going to be on our show tomorrow. Well, we weren't going to

tell Jake about it. And then we were going to force Jake to drink a bottle. Maynard James Keenan was going to be on our show tomorrow. We weren't going to tell Jake about it.

And then we were going to force Jake to drink a bottle. Maynard sent us a couple bottles of his wine.

I guess he does wine now. And like most celebrities. Yeah, although I think it's cool that he's still doing booze because I feel like everyone else is jumping into the whole wellness space. So I like it that he's,

because you would think he's like, try my kombucha. So I'm glad he's doing wine. But the plan was going to be that we were going to tell Jake tomorrow morning, he was going to have to finish the bottles of wine. And if you finish them before Maynard James Keeney was on with us, then Jake could do the entire interview. Yeah, because we just thought it would be entertaining, but also we remember how he does under pressure, because last time he had to perform or do something in front of a celebrity was with Fred Durst of Limp Biscuit, and he totally fucking crumbled. Because he drank. And he drank beforehand to calm his nerves, and then he just fucked it up royally.

So he kind of figured he would fuck himself this time, too.

Right, we thought it would be fun for all of us, and then he would get a chance to actually. But it's also his dream. It's his dream. And we wanted to make that, you know, we don't want to be assholes. So we said, let's just get him, you know, really drunk. but he'll be drunk on his hero's wine.

Anyway, we just got the word

as we were walking down here

to do the show over time that shocker, Maynard James Keenan, has to reschedule for a future date. But that sounds like it could be a... Oh, I mean, don't you do that with, you know, a dentist appointment? I'll call and reschedule and then you just fucking forget.

Right.
