Episode 243 - His Hero is Gone
3d ago01:33:07Tap to summarizeSuppose I were a dead body in Australia... how would I go about ordering a sandwich? Grinder? Wedge? Butty? Sandie? Grant a dying sandwich fan's last request and check out HIS HERO IS GONE. I am now realizing you think I'm punning on the word Hero, but I don't do puns, you scumbag. Apologize Now.

Episode 242 - Bloodlet
1w ago01:40:54Tap to summarizeThe entire state of Florida was original built by Walt Disney to support his bold new vision of the American future. An entire chain of once-sovereign island nations from the south Atlantic no longer exist because Walt needed all their mud and alligators to realize his hot concept. From that artificial hellscape came 90s hardcore's most confusing natty dreads, BLOODCLO... I mean BLOODLET. Post your pronunciation in the chat.

Episode 241 - Gut Instinct
2w ago01:25:27Tap to summarizeThe nation is losing its guts while instictively eating leaves so what better time to explore the SPLATTERY paint and RUNNY letters adorning the legendary original GUT INSTINCT record cover which we have thoughtfully not included here today. What do you expect everything to be DUMPED on you for free?

Episode 240 - Brothers Keeper
4w ago01:34:59Tap to summarizeAre polarity and polarization the same thing? Normally I'd ask claude but I'm behind on payments because of the economy. Is it magnetic or just annoying to squeeze a population without offering them healthcare or affordable chalupas in return? One would think the answer is obvious but it's hard to think when me and 4 bros are trying to outrun a fantasy killer asymmetrically. Post your fave BROTHER'S KEEPER longsleeve in the chat.

Episode 239 - Kalibas
Jun 2401:35:37Tap to summarizeIn this episode we disrespect liminal situations. We look at the haunted empty room and spruce it up with collectible extreme metal statues. We revisit forgotten moments in music and repopulate them with teen-sleaze crisis actors. We stick a scalpel into the grey featureless hide of 2000s grind and appreciate the surprisingly marbled meat within. Join us in our empty yellow home and dine on Rochester's richly fatted KALIBAS.

Episode 238 - Ice Nine
Jun 1701:31:47Tap to summarizeAs citizens of the world with a mission to promote equality and international cooperation, we're here to consume very expensive yet narratively hollow overseas products AND the most dirt cheap homegrown entertainment available even if it's just a very locally popular bird. But ICE NINE weren't locally popular - they were so well know that our local hero Kurt Vonnegut wrote about them!

Episode 237 - waco fuck
Jun 1001:18:53Tap to summarizeCome with us to explore fruit and its meaning, tone and its qualities, height and its place, and magnets, how do they work? Now I'm starting to wonder if some algorithm is about to penalize me for not Q-Bert censoring WACO FUCK.

Episode 236 - Doom
Jun 301:42:52Tap to summarizeThis is an episode about fast, stripped down music and you know your boys only like slow complicated things so we brought in a fast, stripped down ringer, TYLER HAMMER from the KINGS OF PUNK podcast to be our... uh... what's a non-sketchy word for a guide up the mountain? Oh speaking of mountains here's DOOM.

Episode 235 - Red Reaction
May 2701:25:13Tap to summarizeAin't nothin' wrong if you wanna do the Club all night long. First Seven Inch Club, that is. I'm saying join our Patreon even though we included some Patreon cracklin's in here for free. Until then, belly up to the cosmic metal buffet as an appetizer to Western Mass's most inflamed main course, RED REACTION.

Episode 234 - Clay People Ill Remembered
May 2001:58:52Tap to summarizeToday we are trying to overdose on time - desperately trying to shove the past, present and future into our bodies by force, walking down memory lane while sprinting away from cognitive decline, simultaneously old and young at once, comparing Larry Davids while shopping for dolls. The soundtrack is an alternate universe split from 1999's THE CLAY PEOPLE and ILL REMEMBERED.
