  • The Ramones: Ramones (1976) Ep. 47

    Hey everyone, 

    if you just Wanna Sniff Some Glue or if you are beating on a brat with a baseball bat (oh yeah) you are at the best Ramones podcast ever. Or is it the best The Ramones podcast? Either way, we spent about the same amount of money on this podcast as they did on the album! We look at The Ramones punk classic and talk about how all the songs sound the same but we were still humming them for days afterward. 

     

    We talk about getting drug tested at powerlifting, the classic summer toy (the squirtgun), coaching with musicians and Russell is back to flying the friendly skies in another episode of "Plane Old Russell." Now with mouth sucking noises!
