hello again daddies and dadettes - as we continue to stagger out of our Covid-19-induced flop era we're back with a dad-approved review of The Smiths' genre-making "The Queen is Dead." by now, you know the drill: tune in for music takes but also hot takes on incel ideology, how Morissey prefigured the "I don't deserve rights" meme, Alicia Silverstone's antivax politics (and OnlyFans account), the Richard Siken bot, why Nina Dobrev sounds like a Soviet spy, and why buying Smiths CDs is like buying secondhand leather. We loved this one so much we went beyond the album with four personal favorite bonus tracks (and did plenty of Morrissey impressions along the way). enjoy!

your intrepid hosts are back to discuss (after a long detour about our cats) london calling by the clash, the rare dad band with openly leftist politics. tune in for our digressions on neutral milk hotel, the politics of drug use, how aggressive it would be to order a banana split on a first date and an incredibly inaccurate history of the deaths of many famous hollywood stars and starlets.

after extreme political unrest in LA, coronavirus and the 2020 election cycle nearly broke our cycle, we almost hung up the dad bops mantle for good. instead, we're back reviewing the beatles' seminal album sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band!! listen to hear us finally "get" the album's ranking in their discography and for lily and I to get in an argument over the song lovely rita

After many fits and starts Dad Bops is back for season two with Rush's 2112. Join in for Lily's discovery that she accidentally picked an album that's essentially Ayn Rand fan fic (with a side of Twilight Zone fan fic) and for our dissection of the selfishness of libertarianism—plus you get to hear us paint a picture of a dystopian future where we all only get paid in late-stage U2 albums.

we took a six-month hiatus but now that we're all losing our minds in quarantine, why not tune in for a decadent dose of island escapism with the boomer soother himself, jimmy buffett? this one is a long time coming and is the raison d'etre for this entire podcast, as grace will explain. in this ep we do our first ASMR mukbang, compare jimmy buffett's oeurvre to office space and ponder where jimmy buffett falls on the white devil vs. woke king gradient. turn on ur blenders, grab ur salt shakers and buckle up b/c ur not gonna want to miss this one- in quarantine, jimmy buffett's absurdist hedonism is the perfect antidote to your deteriorating sanity

This is the triumphant and SpOoKy return of Dad Bops just in time for Halloween!!! This time it's the '67 classic psych(otic) freaky folk hippie album Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane (ie Grace Slick and the rest of the band who will remain unnamed). We get into why feelings are spooky and upsetting, the secret meaning of 3/5 of a mile, drug culture, annoying intellectual bros talking about media and a lot of other stuff. We're back baby!!!!11 (ALSO stay tuned for new outro music by Matt Buechele, Late Show with David Letterman comedy writer and twitter personality extraordinaire!)

Ok y'all ur fave tripod is back with woke Canadian dad Neil Young and his acoustic jamdown Harvest. After a 10 min intro that's truly for the record books, we get into the takes on "country" vs. "Country" as identity, Neil Young songs as freshman year English exercises, the underrated Neil Young vs. Lynyrd Skynyrd beef, the INCREDIBLE Neil Young sample on Nelly's 'Hot in Herre,' discussions on selling our plasma to fund the podcast and as always, so much more. Enjoy bbs

After a hiatus we are BACK at it again with a new ep of dad bops doing another dose of the boss. That's right we're doing nebraska by bruce springsteen, an hour long, nihilist slog through angry and disenfranchised white America... so who better than 2 sad white bois to take u through it111?!?!?!!? Grace and Lily were in europe (sorry grace and lily stans) so ur humble twitter manager (me, ryan) brought on andrew, a friend of the podcast, bruce stan and nebraskan to dissect it with me. This album is a huge bummer and we are a huge bummer but we go DEEP ON BRUCE BABY- lots of takes lots of dissection lots of political nuggets so we hope u enjoy.

Bet you didn't think we'd be BACK WITH ANOTHA ONE so quickly... well here we are folks. Minor cop out by doing a greatest hits comp BUT it's a definitive one. This ep is calculated yet galvanizing— we talk about EWF but also Macklemore, astrology, briny vegetables, Despicable Me and the minions, the point system on the Good Place, a toilet that has been on our street for a long time and much more. I say it every time but this ep is our BEST YET, the editing is crispy the takes are hilarious check it out fam.

...Ok so it's not really all we have more eps coming BUT for episode 10, we're giving you a recap of what came so far! For new listeners (or old) this one's a nice breezy lil dip to keep you satisfied. We go waaay off course here... besides the dad music, we've got takes on Disney channel original movies, the Lana del Rey vs. Azealia Banks beef, the Mamma Mia films, the Skarsgard acting dynasty, Mad Men, Hollywood remakes, contemporary music faves and MORE... then this one's for you. Plus: we answer your FAN MAIL AT LENGTH so tune in for that (starts at 41:09 approx). Enjoy!
