Episode 35: It's SKY Full of Holes, not GUY Full of Holes

Come for the discussion of Fountains of Wayne, stick around for the Random Podcast Generator segment at the end when things go sideways.  Shane Walsh was a jerk, but he wasn't a racist. The Argentinian National Football Team sure got into some hot water after their Copa America win though.

Episode 34: Chicken Soup for Breakfast ... for the Soul?

Yep, Cort is unabashedly eatin' Spicy Chicken Soup for breakfast.  Brian talks about "Hi Ren." Ren Gill, a Welsh singer-songwriter, is a complex and very talented individual and as usual Brian felt the need to go above and beyond the homework assignment and do some extra-credit work for the teacher.  Then they talk about one of Brian's favorite podcasts, My Brother, My Brother, and Me.  Cort didn't know, but wasn't surprised, that Redbox went bankrupt.  There is some chatter about which currently airing TV show just might have the best soundtrack, and of course as always Brian gives Cort an assignment, and they analyze the Random Podcast Generator pick.  Come on along!

Episode 32: #AllBangersNoMash

In this episode Brian relays his experience with Siouxsie and the Banshees' album Tinderbox and covers the musical highlights of their existence. The guys go off on a tangent about Space Camp.  Brian has invented a new game called "Siouxsie Sue, Lucy Liu, or Blink 182!" There's some political talk because of a certain politician's recent trouble with the law.  There was also a recent trip to a Decemberists concert that is discussed.  And of course they end with Brian's recommendation for Cort and a Random Podcast Generator.

Episode 31: Opening Acts with Harrison Butker

Cort starts with a review of the new album The Window by Ratboys. The guys discuss the confounding (to Cort anyway) listening approach of letting the music permeate your surroundings rather than focusing intently on each track. Cort's take on this approach won't surprise you, but find out whether the approach changed his opinion of the album. Ratboys are opening for The Decemberists, so clearly Brian and Cort have to discuss the effects of opening acts on concert goers.

From there all hell breaks loose, and the discussion shifts to the commencement speech made by Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, which sparks a discussion about the role of athletes and celebrities in public discourse. Brian and Cort also touch on the recent arrest of a golfer at the PGA Championship.

New albums are out from Kings of Leon, Avett Brothers, Cage the Elephant, and Guster. Find out which albums hit the mark and which fell flat.

Episode 29: Five Guys at Freddy's

We get letters from Whitesnake’s lawyers. We discuss Vampire Weekend and their latest release, Only God Was Above Us. We go deep on advertising. We get a visit from Future Brian. We go down a meandering path of other bands, songs, and albums and ultimately end up back at Taylor Swift and Pearl Jam. It's like every time we get out, they pull us back in. Brian gets his next assignment. And finally, there’s the random podcast generator.  It's a hoot.
