Self-produced after parting ways with their major label, 12 Rods released the genre-bending Lost Time in 2002, combining elements of power pop, indie rock, 70s art rock and more. Eclectic songwriting, dynamic shifts, and a mixture of organic and treated sounds balance an album full of catchy hooks with inventive and occasionally straight-up weird choices, like the loungy-groove of "Fake Magic 8-Ball," falling somewhere between Eels and Ben Folds Five, or the relentlessly melodic "Twenty Four Hours Ago." The lack of cohesion is offset by the versatility of the material, never overstaying its welcome, and quality of the songwriting that welcomes repeated listens.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Terrible Hands 17:12 - Fake Magic 8-Ball 21:19 - Summertime Vertigo 26:05 - Boy in the Woods 30:16 - Twenty Four Hours Ago 41:31 - The Time Is Right (To Be Wrong) Outro - Accidents Waiting to Happen   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

James Graham, Ben Dobbin and Charlie White are in Los Angeles and the road to Vegas is on! Huge news broke last night as Nathan Cleary was cleared of all charges and will play Round 1 in Brisbane - was this the right call? The Warriors have suffered a major blow, with co-captain Mitch Barnett announcing he will depart the club at the end of the 2026 season for personal reasons. It has gone from bad to worse off the field for the Eels, with Addo-Carr undergoing immediate thumb surgery and their young gun Iongi caught with an illegal substance - not a good sign for their back three, which starred in 2025. Plus, we look at the Vegas teams and the sights they have been checking out in America, and preview the Dragons ahead of their clash against the Dogs this Sunday!

ballr's Sunday Snap returns for the third and final week of the NRL Pre-Season! Tubes is back on board to help Jono assess the SuperCoach relevant players as we heat up for Round 0 in Las Vegas.

While they now wait pensively to see if the $100,000 preseason bounty will be theirs to claim pending the result between the Storm and Gold Coast, more importantly the Parramatta Eels got the final hit out they would have been aiming for. The Sydney Roosters gave them a terrific battle throughout leaving Jason Ryles with plenty of tape - both positive and negative - to work with ahead of Round 1. Sixties and Forty20 debrief on the Gosford trial. What did they like? Where do the Eels need to sharpen up? Was there any late movement in the positional charts? The boys also go around the grounds for the Harold Matthews and SG Ball where the Eels prevailed against the Tigers in both grades.

It is just the Harold Matthews and SG Ball Cups in action this weekend as they travel to Leichardt to tussle with the Tigers in Round 3. Both grades are seeking to maintain their perfect starts to 2026 but with Balmain coming out of a bye in both grades - what should the Eels be wary of ahead of their third straight road trip? The NRL preseason hits its frenzied zenith this weekend and Parramatta find themselves right in the mix to claim the $100,000 prize. Jason Ryles has named a full-strength outfit as the Eels head to Gosford to face the Sydney Roosters. What do the boys think of the team? Who has a chance to make the most important final impressions? Which rookies are edging closer to a potential debut?

We have arrived at the final week of preseason trials as Jason Ryles and the Parramatta Eels prepare a full strength outfit for the Sydney Roosters in Gosford. The Tip Sheet looks at the ins and outs of the team list this week, who has stolen a march in the battle for positions and which rookies look to have the early running. Sixties and Forty20 recap the week that was for the Eels including final thoughts on their trial against the Sharks before touching on the latest media comments on the Zac Lomax saga. One Bulldogs has escaped serious injury but another wasn't as lucky. While Matt Burton will be on the plane to Vegas, Leo Thompson is set to miss up to 10 weeks for the Bulldogs with a calf strain. The luckless Te Maire Martin is looking at 3 months on the sideline after breaking his leg as the toll of the trials hits teams. State of Origin has been changed forever. After years of discussion over eligibility rules the NRL has blown selection protocols wide open by removing the requirement to declare for Australia to the formula. Henceforth, as long you meet the other key criteria (Born in NSW/QLD, resided in NSW/QLD by 13, father player for NSW/QLD) you can be selected for the relevant side regardless of your national allegiance. What does this mean for the game's showpiece series?

As always with trials, context matters, so we focus on what could translate into the season and what may simply be noise.This episode breaks down the latest NRL trials from a SuperCoach 2026 perspective, headlined by a huge scoop with Fuller and the growing question of whether he's becoming a must-have option.We also unpack Trey Mooney's dominant showing, what the “last touch” rule could mean for Nicho Hynes' relevance, Patston's encouraging signs, and mixed takeaways from Kini, the Sharks, and the Eels.

Ah, that time of year when trials mean nothing or everything! Where do Sixties and Forty20 fall on that famous preseason spectrum after the Parramatta Eels annihilated the Cronulla Sharks 40-6 on Sunday night? The Tip Sheet delves into the opening hitout of the year as Jason Ryles made full use of a 28-man roster. What areas impressed the boys the most? Who enhanced their stock? Did we see enough from the young outside backs to move the needle on depth in the unit?

The Lomax Saga has taken a wild twist today with evidence presented by Parramatta Eels in court alleging the Melbourne Storm attempted to leverage NRL CEO Andrew Abdo to "apply the blow torch on parramatta to get this done" while also allegedly coercing the Eels with the threat of punitive means being enacted against Parramatta's salary cap. The Tip Sheet reacts to the sensational claims, brought on by legal discovery, and how they threaten to blow the lid on the code in this landmark case. Sixties and Forty20 discuss the implications brought on by today's revelations including some extremely uncomfortable questions raised around neutrality and the balance of power in the code. How can this be resolved and how concerned should fans - not just of the Blue & Gold - be moving forwards?

Aaron Woods, Wade Graham and Charlie White are in to look at the backlash from Payne Haas' move from Brisbane to South Sydney. We dive into the potential reasons behind his departure - was Haas lowballed? Is Madge a factor? The Sharks have signed an Englishman (Owen Trout), their first in almost 50 years and Wade has the scoop on the big forward. Plus, we preview the Raiders, Eels, Cowboys and Warriors’ 2026 seasons, asking the big questions - how will Canberra go without Fogarty? Can Moses lead the Eels to the top eight? Is Todd Payten under pressure already? And will Metcalf make his ACL return a successful one for the Wahs? We finish with a preview of the All Stars match and look ahead to week two of the upcoming trials!

The Eels are on the road again in Round 2 of the Junior Representatives with all four grades facing the Cronulla Sharks. The Tip Sheet analyses how the Lisa Fiaola, Harold Matthews and SG Ball can build on impressive opening round victories and what the Tarsha Gale need to do to get themselves on the board against the competitors from the Shire. Sixties and Forty20 even throw in a cheeky bonus preview this week with the NRL trial capping off a monster stretch of games at Henson Park on Sunday. Who stands to gain the most this week in the eyes of the coaches? What do we want to see out of the Eels in their first hit out of the year? Is there such a thing as too much footy!?

Jason Ryles is going to be a busy man on Sunday night after naming a gargantuan 28-man team list for Parramatta's opening trial against the Cronulla Sharks. Sixties and Forty20 finally shake off the preseason rust as they rip into one of the signpost podcasts of the season because ladies and gentlemen - Team List Tuesday is back! As always, The Tip Sheet goes far and wide across Parradise to look at the latest news including the most recent Lomax developments and the results from the first week of the Junior Representatives. South Sydney blindsided the entire NRL when news emerged on Sunday that they had secured the signature of Payne Haas from 2027 to the end of 2029. How did the Rabbitohs slip under the guard of the Broncos? Is there another twist to this tale? With the contract still in the cooling-off window, the Broncos have a right of reply - can they salvage this situation?

What if you could install solar panels and a home battery today, but didn't have to pay a cent until you sold your house? In this timely conversation, Francis Vierboom, CEO of Rewiring Australia, joins the show to discuss the "EELS" plan—the Electrify Everything Loan Scheme. While middle Australia is currently riding a massive wave of solar and battery installations to escape soaring energy prices, millions of low-income earners, pensioners, and renters are being left behind in the dark. Vierboom breaks down their bold 2026 Budget submission: a government-backed, HECS-style loan indexed only to inflation. We explore how this could bridge the gap for the 60% of low-income Australians who own their homes but can't find the $15,000+ upfront capital to electrify. From "standard" $11 electricity bills to the complexities of getting solar onto rental properties and apartments, this episode is a blueprint for an energy system that actually includes everyone.

A media blitz today has seen some startling developments in the Parramatta Eels vs Zac Lomax saga as Melbourne CEO Matt Tripp looked to get ahead of incoming bombshell news surrounding subpoenaed emails in a bold interview with the Herald Sun. The Tip Sheet looks at Tripp's sensational claims and stack it up against the opening arguments put forth by the Eels via Arthur Moses as well as the counterpoints laid down by the Lomax camp. The boys take a very quick peek at the first Team List Tuesday of the season with the Junior Reps kicking off this weekend...but save the good stuff for a special preview podcast that will feature Steve Georgallis and AJ Lucantonio! We get our first NRL action of the year as well with the Bulldogs, Cowboys, Dragons and Knights naming their trials squads ahead of their trip to Las Vegas. Who's in, who's out and what can we gleam from the four playing lists?

Can the Eels take a step forward in 2026, or does their season still live and die with Mitchell Moses? With a new halves pairing taking shape, Parramatta face big questions around identity, consistency and style of play.We break down whether new signing Jonah Pezet can be the much needed answer at five-eighth alongside Moses, how the Eels can establish a clear Parramatta DNA and what their brutal early-season draw means as they face three of the four NRL favourites to start the year.EXCLUSIVE TIPS ON UNIBET (18+)Sign Up Now: https://bit.ly/4rwLSzq00:00 Intro 00:32 Most Exciting Team This Season? 04:41 Moses Or Bust?05:50 Where Will They Finish This Season? 08:36 Players In SpotlightFollow us @TheCastPatrol on all social media platforms to keep up to date with all things CAST and more.

A few weeks ago, some locals in Waiatai Valley near Wairoa were devastated to find hundreds of dead eels in the Waiatai stream. Some of the eels, or tuna in te reo Maori, were thought to be 40 to 50 years old. A team from Hawkes Bay Regional Council has been investigating what happened. Council chair Sophie Siers joins Jesse with an update.

The build-up to the 2026 NRL season has exploded with a bitter feud. On the first episode of Code NRL, the team reveals why the Melbourne Storm were "arrogant" in their pursuit of Zac Lomax. Plus, Jerome Luai looked us "dead in the eyes" with a massive Wests Tigers promise, and we investigate the depth crisis threatening to derail South Sydney’s campaign before a ball is kicked.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to talk about some amphibians and fish. Thanks to Aila, Stella, George, Richard from NC, Emilia, Emerson, and Audie for their suggestions! We'll start with Audie's suggestion, the sandbar shark. It's an endangered shark that lives in shallow coastal water in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific Oceans. A big female can grow over 8 feet long, or 2.5 meters, while males are smaller on average. It can be brown or gray in color, and its dorsal fin is especially big for a shark its size. The sandbar shark eats fish, crustaceans like crabs, cephalopods like octopuses, and other small animals. It spends a lot of time near the bottom of the seabed, looking for food, and it will also swim into the mouths of rivers. Since it resembles a bull shark, which can live just fine in rivers for quite a while and which can be dangerous to swimmers, people are sometimes afraid of the sandbar shark, but it hardly ever bites people. It just wants to be left alone to find little fish to eat. Emilia and Emerson both asked to learn more about eels. Eels are fish, but not every animal that's called an eel is actually an eel. Some are just eel-shaped, meaning they're long and slender. Electric eels aren't actually eels, for instance, but are more closely related to catfish. The longest eel ever reliably measured was a slender giant moray. That was in 1927 in Queensland, Australia. The eel measured just shy of 13 feet long, or 3.94 meters. We talked about some giant eels in episode 401, but this week let's talk about a much smaller eel, one that Emerson suggested. That's the snipe eel, the name for a family of eels consisting of nine species known so far. They live in every ocean in the world, and some species are deep-sea animals but most live a little nearer the surface. The largest species can grow an estimated 5 feet long, or 1.5 meters, but because all species of snipe eel are so incredibly thin, even the longest individual weighs less than a football, either American or regular, take your pick. The snipe eel gets its name from its mouth, which is long and slightly resembles the beak of a bird called the snipe. The snipe is a wading bird that pokes its long, flexible bill into mud to find small animals like insect larvae, worms, and snails. But unlike the bird's bill, the snipe eel's jaws have a bend at the tip. The upper jaw bends upward, the lower jaw bends downward so that the tip of the jaws are separated. It doesn't look like that would be very helpful for catching food, but scientists think it helps because the fish's mouth is basically always open. Since it mainly eats tiny crustaceans floating in the water, it doesn't even need to open its mouth to catch food. It has tiny teeth along the jaws that point backwards, so when a crustacean gets caught on the teeth, it can't escape. The slender snipe eel is especially unusual because it can have as many as 750 vertebrae in its backbone. That's more than any other animal known. Most of its length is basically just an incredibly long, thin tail, with its organs bunched up right behind its head. Even its anus is basically on its throat. We don't know a whole lot about the snipe eel, since it lives deep enough that it's hardly ever seen by humans. Most of the specimens discovered have been found in the stomachs of larger fish. Now, let's leave the world of fish behind and look at some amphibians. First, George wanted to learn about the hellbender, and points out that it's also called the snot otter or lasagna lizard. I don't understand the lasagna part but it's funny. The hellbender is a giant salamander that lives in parts of the eastern United States, especially in the Appalachian Mountains and the Ozarks. It can grow nearly 30 inches long, or 74 cm, and is the fifth heaviest amphibian alive today in the whole world. It spends almost all its life in shallow, fast-moving streams hiding among rocks. As water rushes over and around rocks, it absorbs more oxygen, which is good for the hellbender because as an adult it breathes through its skin. To increase its surface area and help it absorb that much more oxygen, its skin is loose and has folds along the sides. The hellbender is flattened in shape and is brown with black speckles on its back. It mostly eats crayfish, but it will also eat frogs and other small animals. Its skin contains light-sensitive cells, which means that it can actually sense how much light is shining on its body even if its head is hidden under a rock, so it can hide better. Aila and Stella suggested we talk about the axolotl, and a few years ago Richard from NC sent me a lot of really good information about this friendly-looking amphibian. I'd been planning to do a deep dive about the axolotl, which we haven't talked about since episode 275, but sometimes having a lot of information leads to overload and I never did get around to sorting through everything Richard sent me. Richard also suggested we talk about a rare mudpuppy, so let's learn about it before we get to the axolotl. It's called the Neuse river waterdog, although Richard refers to it as the North Carolina axolotl because it resembles the axolotl in some ways, although the two species aren't very closely related. The mudpuppy, also called the waterdog, looks a lot like a juvenile hellbender but isn't as big, with the largest measured adult growing just over 17 inches long, or almost 44 cm. It lives in lakes, ponds, and streams and retains its gills throughout its life. The mudpuppy is gray, black, or reddish-brown. It has a lot of tiny teeth where you'd expect to find teeth, and more teeth on the roof of its mouth where you would not typically expect to find teeth. It needs all these teeth because it eats slippery food like small fish, worms, and frogs, along with insects and other small animals. The Neuse River waterdog lives in two watersheds in North Carolina, and nowhere else in the world. It will build a little nest under a rock by using its nose like a shovel, pushing at the sand, gravel, and mud until it has a safe place to rest. If another waterdog approaches its nest, the owner will attack and bite it to drive it away. The mudpuppy exhibits neoteny, a trait it shares with the axolotl. In most salamanders, the egg hatches into a larval salamander that lives in water, which means it has external gills so it can breathe underwater. It grows and ultimately metamorphoses into a juvenile salamander that spends most of its time on land, so it loses its external gills in the metamorphosis. Eventually it takes on its adult coloration and pattern. But neither the mudpuppy nor the axolotl metamorphose. Even when it matures, the adult still looks kind of like a big larva, complete with external gills, and it lives underwater its whole life. The axolotl originally lived in wetlands and lakes in the Mexico Central Valley. This is where Mexico City is and it's been a hub of civilization for thousands of years. A million people lived there in 1521 when the Spanish invaded and destroyed the Aztec Empire with introduced diseases and war. The axolotl was an important food of the Aztecs and the civilizations that preceded them, and if you've only ever seen pictures of axolotls you may wonder why. Salamanders are usually small, but a full-grown axolotl can grow up to 18 inches long, or 45 cm, although most are about half that length. Most wild axolotls are brown, greenish-brown, or gray, often with lighter speckles. They can even change color somewhat to blend in with their surroundings better. Captive-bred axolotls are usually white or pink, or sometimes other colors or patterns. That's because they're bred for the pet trade and for medical research, because not only are they cute and relatively easy to keep in captivity, they have some amazing abilities. Their ability to regenerate lost and injured body parts is remarkable even for amphibians. Researchers study axolotls to learn more about how regeneration works, how genetics of coloration work, and much more. They're so common in laboratory studies that you'd think there's no way they could be endangered—but they are. A lot of the wetlands where the axolotl used to live have been destroyed as Mexico City grows. One of the lakes where it lived has been completely filled in. Its remaining habitat is polluted and contains a lot of introduced species, like carp, that eat young axolotls as well as the same foods that axolotls eat. Conservationists have been working hard to improve the water quality in some areas by filtering out pollutants, and putting up special barriers that keep introduced fish species out. Even if the axolotl's habitat was pristine, though, it wouldn't be easy to repopulate the area right away. Axolotls bred for the pet trade and research aren't genetically suited for life in the wild anymore, since they're all descended from a small number of individuals caught in 1864, so they're all pretty inbred by now. Mexican scientists and conservationists are working with universities and zoos around the world to develop a breeding program for wild-caught axolotls. So far, the offspring of wild-caught axolotls that are raised in as natural a captive environment as possible have done well when introduced into the wild. The hard part is finding wild axolotls, because they're so rare and so hard to spot. Scientists have started testing water for traces of axolotl DNA to help them determine if there are any to find in a particular area. If so, they send volunteers into the water with nets and a lot of patience to find them. The axolotl reproduces quickly and does well in captivity. Hopefully its habitat can be cleaned up soon, which isn't just good for the axolotl, it's good for the people of Mexico City too.

"Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we'll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. In this special holiday episode of Lived Through That, we highlight some of the most beloved and underrated alternative Christmas songs from artists including The Vandals, Allo Darlin', Eels, The Primitives, and The Waitresses. JoeEscalante of The Vandals discusses the origins of the punk favorite “Oi to the World” and how it came to be that No Doubt recorded it, while Elizabeth Morris of Allo Darlin' shares the story behind the indie-pop gem “Space Christmas.” E from Eels talks about crafting the offbeat “Christmas Is Going to the Dogs,” and The Primitives reflect on creating their chaotic holiday track “You Trashed My Christmas.” The episode wraps with Chris Butler and Michael Zilka exploring how The Waitresses' “Christmas Wrapping” became an enduring seasonal classic. Perfect for fans of alternative holiday music and anyone looking to refresh their festive playlist, this episode brings together the creators behind some of the coolest Christmas songs of the last few decades.

817 Eels - Beautiful Freak

Barry and Abigail discuss Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits and sample Wild Dog – Pale Ale and Wild Dog – Shempa Ale from Tiemann Beer in Lusaka, Zambia; Strawberry Rhubarb from New Glarus Brewing Company in New Glarus, Wisconsin; Coconut Key Lime Pie Drips and Mischievous Grin from Barn Town Brewing in West Des Moines, Iowa; and Gallo / Famosa from Cervecería Centro Americana in Guatemala City, Guatemala.Read about how the Money for Nothing music video came to be, or watch the video.We first sampled New Glarus on our season 4 Christmas episode, Christmas Beers (Straight No Chaser and Gifted Beers).Barry pointed out that Walk of Life references other songs, and Abigail compared it to American Pie by Don McLean.Abigail formally retracted a fun “fact” she had previously shared on the podcast regarding artificial banana flavoring being based on the Gros Michel banana instead of the Cavendish banana, which is the most common banana cultivar eaten today. The 2013 SciShow video where she first learned this false fact has since been edited to remove any reference to this hypothesis but points to this article that explains the hypothesis. This Hank Green video first brought the debunking of this hypothesis to Abigail's attention.We first sampled Barn Town on our season 4 episode Barntown (Phish and Barn Town Brewery).Abigail called Why Worry an “adult lullaby,” similar to Calm Down by Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons. She then entered Why Worry into the Abigail Hummel School of Speaking Smartly About Music with a comparison to Little April Shower from Bambi (1942). She also brought up Baby Genius by Eels as having instrumental similarities. Barry mentioned Rain by Hans Zimmer from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002). The “vibes” in the personnel list likely refers to the vibraphone, which could very well have produced the rain sounds in Why Worry.Abigail asked if Mischievous Grin would count as a “cream tangerine” (we have officially gone zero episodes without mentioning the White Album!).Barry had heard that the three war songs on this album were inspired by the Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom that lasted for a little over two months in 1982. Abigail had always pictured the Vietnam War, partly because of the imagery in Ride Across the River, and partly because Abigail's consumption of war media was heavily influenced by The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, a novel about the Vietnam War.While discussing The Man's Too Strong, Abigail referenced an in-character speech by comedian and professional Dungeon Master Brennan Lee Mulligan.Up next… Version 2.0 by Garbage, Abigail's annual Phone-a-Friend submission, this time with Carlo “from Canada” Sgro, the namesake of Carlo's Corner!Jingles are by our friend Pete Coe.Visit Anosmia Awareness for more information on Barry's condition.Follow Barry or Abigail on Untappd to see what we're drinking when we're not on mic!Leave us a rating or a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | YouTube | Substack | Website | Email us | Virtual Jukebox | Beer Media Group

Fishing rods at the ready, Brian Cox and Robin Ince attempt to reel in a creature that has baffled scientists since Aristotle: the eel. Wriggling in to help them uncover the mysteries of one of nature's slimiest subjects are marine scientists David Righton and Caroline Durif, and comedian Lucy Porter.How do eels navigate such vast distances so deep under water? Why has no one ever seen them reproduce? And WHY would anyone eat them jellied with pie and mash?! The panel discovers that Spanish eels are always late and that eels from all different countries are thought to meet up somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean for a huge annual orgy.Producer: Melanie Brown Assistant Producer: Olivia Jani Executive Producer: Alexandra Feachem A BBC Studios Production

When we imagine Elizabethan dining tables, we might picture roast meats, trenchers of bread, or tankards of ale. But lurking beneath the surface of rivers, marketplaces, and even the economy itself was a creature so valuable that it could pay rent, feed a nation, and still appear in Shakespeare's humor — the eel. Eels once filled England's rivers in such massive quantities that they became a crucial source of protein for the poor and a delicacy for the wealthy. They appear in legal documents, household accounts, market records, and yes — in Shakespeare's plays. In Love's Labour's Lost, Don Adriano says: "What, that an eel is ingenious?" — Love's Labour's Lost (I.2) Today we'll discover just how ingenious eels really were. This week, I'm speaking with Dr. John Wyatt Greenlee — medievalist, cartographic historian, and the internet's favorite eel enthusiast — to explore the culinary, economic, and cultural world of eels in Shakespeare's England. From eel rents and floating aquarium-ships to eel pies and insult comedy, we're diving into how this slippery fish shaped daily life in the world Shakespeare lived in.
