Phlegm

The cold.

Phlegm.

Yeah, all of the above.

Feeling a little better today, though.

Just a little bit.

I'm sure it came through in the cold open, like just a little gargle of phlegm that was just like erupting out of my mouth hole.

Phlegm is a terrible word.

It

is.

And phlegmatic, that's another one.

Phlegm was big.

Phlegmatic is

angry, right? To be phlegmatic is to be...

I should double-check this one because I've gotten it wrong before.

It's this idea that there were four humors that in your body kind of decided and delineated important facets of your identity-

Yep, they were Blood, Black Bile, Yellow Bile, and Phlegm.

Correct.

And long ago, the four nations lived in harmony.

Blood was hot and moist.

Phlegm was cold and moist.

Yellow bile, or choler, was hot and dry.

Black bile, or memancholy, was cold and dry.

Ooh.

This is, uh, track four, and this is called Phlegm.

I mean, I'm a hay fever guy myself.

[laughs] I'm pretty sinusy.

Gotta get the leeches out.

It's the same as, um, traditional Chinese medicine.

Phlegm is like a climatic evil that you have to get out of your body.

So we had this huge industrial fan, like two by two meters, massive, like half a meter deep, and we got a room mic, ran it through my pedal board, and I used my pick to just slide against the grill, the front grill of the fan, and that creates that, like, that kind of spooky effect in Phlegm.

That I don't know what boy, a bad boy, what does he save for later? The severed finger or phlegm.

Wow, that's a good one.

I'm going to pick Phlegm.

I

remember hearing that in the movie, but I don't remember

what it was for.

I'm going to say Phlegm, like you might have hocked up a loogie or something.

Oh,

Hey, you three, where's your other pal? Where's that bloody dandelion-eating, knife-eared punks? You're talking about the high elf? Whatever.

His name, Ez, sounded like Phlegm spitting

up.

He had to go off on some elven business.

good.

Phlegm,

mucus, pus.

I don't like vile.
