Stagione 1
Eminem - The Slim Shady LP [January 23, 2023}
Esplicito
The guys return with a listener-requested episode diving into Eminem's breakthrough 1999 album The Slim Shady LP. They discuss just how potently offensive this record still is decades later, the magic of Dr. Dre's production, the best MCs of all time, sticking nine-inch nails through eyelids and more
Rob Zombie - Hellbilly Deluxe [October 24, 2022]
Esplicito
The guys are back with a very special Halloween episode breaking down the Devil's Reject himself, Mr. Rob Zombie. Discussed are his early days with White Zombie, his knack for synthesizing new trends in alternative music into his own creations, and whether or not the fellas should invest in a laser tag facility
Best Albums 1990—Today Pt.3 [October 11, 2022]
Esplicito
The guys continue their exercise in list making and engage in some horse trading to try to get this unwieldy thing under control. Discussed are entry-level electronic music for indie rock fans, how much credit to give legendary artists making just-okay work, and why everyone can agree on Flockaveli
Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago [September 19, 2022]
Esplicito
The guys return with an episode on a classic entry in the Sad Dad Canon, Bon Iver's 2007 record For Emma, Forever Ago. They delve into the myth and minutiae of the album's creation, its forward-thinking production, and its wide-ranging impact on indie and the rest of pop music. This one's a doozy
Best Albums 1990—Today Pt.2 [September 5, 2022]
Esplicito
The guys continue hashing out their list of the best records of their lifetimes, slowly realizing that the project is becoming more complicated than they initially anticipated. They explore who was the odd vote out for certain classic albums, make the case for some single-vote records, and, perhaps most importantly, debate whether Lil Wayne mixtapes are better than his studio albums
Weezer - Pinkerton [August 19, 2022]
Esplicito
The guys are back with an episode on 1996's Pinkerton by Weezer. Though it's now a legendary album that's influenced many generations of emo and indie artists, it was a commercial bomb on its inital release and remains a thorny, fascinating, sometimes off-putting glimpse into the psyche of frontman Rivers Cuomo. The guys get into what makes Weezer last, how this record would fare being released today, and, most importantly, is Weezer actually any good?
The Return (Again) [August 7, 2022]
Esplicito
Back by unpopular demand, and in typical dad fashion, the guys apologize for not being there for your birthday party. They also discuss the future for the show and what's been on their mind. Spoiler... it's Pinkerton
Best Albums 1990-Today, Pt. 1 [January 18, 2022]
The guys are back after a short hiatus with a new project: compiling everyone's favorite albums released in their lifetimes. In this first part they discuss the finer points of making lists, the state of albums in 2021, and why Joe Pesci and Danny Devito never worked together. Enjoy!
Counting Crows - August and Everything After [September 27, 2021]
Esplicito
The guys are once again traveling back to 1993 and this time around tackling the Counting Crows' classic debut "August and Everything After." Helping transition alt-rock out of grunge and into a crunchier new form, the band became a radio staple and low-key pop culture icons. Covering everything from Adam Duritz's dreadlocks to the band's appearance on the Shrek 2 soundtrack, the guys try to get to the bottom of what makes this unlikely group so compelling all these years later
Bob Seger - Greatest Hits [July 28, 2021]
Esplicito
The guys look at an overview of classic rocker Bob Seger's career, and ask the important questions like whether he's the premier rock and roll poet of nostalgia and regret, if he belongs in the same class as his heartland rocker peers like Springsteen and Petty, and perhaps most importantly, what is the conversion rate between Miller High Lifes and Silver bullets?
