Bosky Rumbluffer doesn't spend a great deal of time looking back. As a massively prolific artist, he is constantly working on the next project. We were honored to catch him in a nostalgic mood to discuss the recording of his classic anthem Eat Your Soup and Shut the Fuck Up. It turns out to be quite the epic story of hallucinogenic skiing, puppet masters, broken bones and a chance encounter with a musical genius.
This episode was written, produced and narrated by Björ6n Oranj. Bosky Rumbluffer and Michi also provided narration. In addition to Eat Your Soup and Shut the Fuck Up, this episode features a bonus track by Bosky Rumbluffer from his greatest hits collection Buffet!: Someone Said I Love You.

Have you ever had a dude, probably in his thirties wearing a well-worn My Little Pony hoodie, ride up to your house on a vintage Raleigh velodrome bike, hand you an envelope from Milo Lulu, throw his cigar butt into the fresh snow of your yard, flip you off and then ride off rather precariously down the icy road?

Part 7 of The Long Lightning by Erik Blagsvedt as narrated by Stephen Indrisano.
We left you on a bit of a cliffhanger with the ending of part 6. Sorry about that. Here's a recap. The Tammy Bins have circulated the punctuated burning airlines of manipulated spacetime with reverence and decay born of crimson electrification and mounting oracle juice effecting both my hat and your speed dot connection transmission through common feelsport and bubbling tap-taps. That about sums it up.
We would like to thank Stephen Indrisano for his nimble wordplay performance. You can get his comedic take on the catalog of Stephen King at The Stephen King Boo! Club and learn more about his technical prowess at Indrisano Audio Services.

There are a lot of podcasts out there and that means there is a pretty vast podcast community. Really, the only folks listening to podcasts are individuals who are also making podcasts. Since only 17 people worldwide are actually earning any sort of profit from producing podcasts, the community relies on each other to for technological, legal, promotional and voice-over assistance. Members of that community have appeared on this very show, and This Isn't Just a Cult's Björ6n Oranj has provided the voice of Sherlock Butternuts on Hey, That’s No Way to Say Hello, Mr. Magnet on Your Yo-Yo’s Got to Go-Go, and Dr. Jack Billings on Jack Billings Presents: Me and My Neighbor Michael.
In this episode, Björ6n guides you through some of his absurd guest appearances as pharmacist and mayoral candidate Dr. Jack Billings.
Featured music in this episode includes Cypress Monolith (the Jericho Smile), Quixotic Demagogue and Jingoistic Juggernaut by Squinting Matador.

Also, it is meant to inspire you to aspire. To reach for the stars. To swing for the fences. To boil the ocean. To bounce like a Muppet. To never Leggo the Eggo.

Part 6 of The Long Lightning by Erik Blagsvedt as narrated by Yall Yall.
Many listeners have contacted us about this series and asked why? Good question. Well, simply put, it's because we think about thorns. The odd bequest of a fuchsia bender to sequin a soliloquy songbird to frisk our winch and our growing branching passwords in a beret of failure that protrudes a solitary wildcat.
We would like to thank Yall Yall for his wonderful performance. Go over to Boothin' Pod to listen to more of his musings along with some amazing freestyle raps. It's a great listen.
Featured in this episode is Dramas [BANG!] Art by Björ6n Oranj. You can find it on the album Dastards. It is available on all the streaming services.
We would like to thank our sponsors of this Episode, The Halcyon Brothers. They have a brand new album, We Might Fall Apart, that is available everywhere.

Part 5 of The Long Lightning by Erik Blagsvedt as narrated by Bjor6n Oranj. Abstract poetry read out loud because...because...BECAUSE seeking kitten righteousness about tomorrow will wrestle itself if barracuda has enough truck stop of its own. Because after a long and difficult presidency, no cognac but only an ambrosia dork like a giant wrench stenographer squanders moss like a physicist. Because this is an afternoon orgy more than a choirmaster.
This episode was written by Erik Blagsvedt and Bjor6n Oranj. It features a soundscape created by Kevotri. Check out more of his work at Soundcloud and Spotify.
