  • Episode 83: Food Party

    I love me a potluck. Bring all the good stuff.  But do they call it a food party in Canada? Let’s talk about this and more, like who is Antoine Corbijin? And since this is a short song, let’s talk about a lot of things food related as well.

  • Episode 82: Fog of Writing

    “…and as I looked out on the landscape as I attempted to begin my writing for the week, all I could see was the fog rolling across the bay.”  I think that was what they were referring to, right? Because this week, we are talking about the Fog of Writing. Or maybe they meant the book “Defending a Superhero” by Matt Murdoch’s friend, Mr. Nelson, Esq. What? No? That is the writing of Foggy. hmmm… well, listen in to see if we figure it out what the “Fog of Writing” is really about.

    Episode 81: Flying Dreams 

    Welcome.  I am feeling really good this week.  I woke up last night and had a beautiful dream that left me feeling free.  I’m free of Aaron and Michelle this week (just kidding, but Michelle does send in her thoughts). I do get to talk to the educational and informational Ben Kaplan about a great Kevin song.  But it isn’t what you think it is about.  Listen in to find out the real meaning.

    Episode 80a: The Flag (Fixed for real) 

    SO!  I made a mistake.  I wave the white flag.  We can’t all be perfect.  But you made a mistake too.  It’s all your fault I made this mistake.  Just take ownership for your mistake.  While your at it, listen to us talk about this song about gaslighting and abuse with special guest Tyler Boudreau of the Fantastic Mr. Fox Minute.

    Episode 80: The Flag 

    I give up.  I can’t figure out a way to introduce this week’s podcast.  I am waving the white flag to writer’s block.  Oh wait… nope.  Writer’s block is two weeks down the road. We have Aaron but don’t have Michelle.  I hope that she hasn’t waved the checkered flag and ended her part of the podcast. Just enjoy this week’s episode “The Flag” with special guest Tyler Boudreau of the Fantastic Mr. Fox Minute.

  • Episode 79: Fight The Power

    We feel for you NYC.  This week, you had to fight the power outage.  It’s been worse and at least it wasn’t 100 degrees, but it’s hard to go without power.  We are glad you all survived. You didn’t have a zombie outbreak you had to fight, or rioting and looting that you had to fight.  You just had to fight the power.  Even though I’m without Michelle and Aaron for one more week, I was fortunately to fight the power with Saker from “It’s All Been Done” podcast.  This was so much fun!  I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did in recording it. Will we bury the hatchet in each other’s backs or in the ground?  Will we fight over the power and control, or will we agree on this song?  You’ll have to listen in to find out. Stay after for an extra tidbit.  And make sure you check out this week’s special artwork on our website or Facbeook page.

    Episode 78: Falling for the First Time 

    Help… I need somebody…. not just any body.  You know I need someone…. wait.  Wrong song.  But thinking of falling reminds me of that song. Interestingly enough, I do discuss different Beatles songs with our guest this week, Jeff Whitmire!  I am so happy to have him on and not just because we are without Michelle and Aaron this week (although they do chime in with their thoughts).  But Jeff is so interesting, that I don’t even miss them.  And I’m a bad boy for breaking her heart.  Wait… that’s also a different song about falling.  I am digressing, so let’s just get on with the show.

  • Episode 77: Fall Back On

    I’m not going to write anything this week.  Nope.  I’m just going to fall back on my laurels and expect you to enjoy our podcast enough that you just listen to us anyway, as we discuss “Fall Back On”.  It’s a weird week, as we don’t have Aaron or Michelle, so there is a lot of splicing and email responding. Sorry, but I hate holding off too long between episodes.  We will be back to our usual selves soon.  Until then, enjoy this episode and these wonderful appearances.

  • Episode 76: Everything Old Is New Again

    This week’s episode discusses some very sensitive topics that are not recommended for younger listeners. Also, if you are triggered by discussions of suicide, eating disorders, or non-suicidal self-injury, we want to advise you that these topics are mentioned in this week’s discussion because of the song.  We try to be respectful but also understand that just talking about these subjects can be triggering.  Also, if you or a loved one are experiencing thoughts or feeling of suicide, eating disorders, or non-suicidal self-harm, please reach out to the hotlines or text lines below.  (the contact for the episode and appearances will be at the bottom this week)

  • Episode 75: Everything Had Changed

    We celebrate our 75th episode by changing everything.  Why? Because the song tells us it did and as BNL tells us in a later song “It’s All Been Done”.  But this week we aren’t discussing that.  We are discussing “Everything Had Changed” with Bryan Ripper of “All About The Mouse” podcast! It’s a huge episode but we had so much fun recording it.
