puppet

Excuse me a minute.

I mentioned about the idea of Puppet burning an actual human being alive to be funny.

I mean, Leo's character movies are becoming more and more meta.

His movie, Holy Mortars, begins with him.

Let's keep this show rolling.

Out of Athens, Michigan, one of my favorites, man, they are grinding hard, Fault Other People and their song Puppet on Postal Fest on Monsterpiece Theater.

Smoke them motherfuckers if you got 'em, because I sure do.

I'm just a puppet on a string.

Cursed, left to right, left to right.

From hell.

Woo-hoo, what a ripping pack of hard workers right there, starting off with Thought of the People and their song Puppet.

And we follow that up by the legends from Richmond, Virginia, who have been going strong for decades through death, slumps, all kinds of crazy shit, and they're still there, they're still working hard, and they still give a great show, and their song, The Greatest Circus Train Disaster.

She won a regional Emmy for her special Land of Eye, and as a lifelong teacher, Lee has taught puppetry to thousands, as well as teaching the course Jim Henson and the Art of the Muppets at the University of California at Santa Cruz.

I'm excited to welcome Lee Armstrong as my guest on this episode of Under the Puppet.

You're listening to Saturday Morning Media, and now, back to our show.

Welcome to the show that is preserving puppetry through the personal stories of professional puppeteers.

My name is Grant Pachocco, and this is Under the Puppet.

Lee Armstrong, welcome to Under the Puppet.

It's a pleasure to have you on the show today.

Thank you very much.

No, Thursday is number five.

Puppet is number five.

No, I thought...

Oh, okay.
