In a late-night quest to get chicks, Carl ends up succumbing to the power of the recorder, becoming a musical slave for Hoppy Bunny and his religious covenant of furries. Today we're packing this podcast out with input from FOUR of the critical figures behind this critter-full episode-- Aqua Teen co-creator Dave Willis tells us about turning Frylock's room into a parking garage, Matt Maiellaro gives the low-down on performing as the live-action Recorder Wizard, producer/editor Jay Wade Edwards fills us in on his costume origin, and this episode's original writer Ted Murphy shares with us the power of Apple computer discounts. We're also learning about the surprising medieval-based origin of this episode, Matt gives us his preference on playing the guitar instructor vs recorder instructor, and I'm figuring out what my fursona is. Other topics discussed include how expensive furry suits are, the lingering effects of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, and Communist Manifesto sheet music. I also toot my 'corder along the way!
