Part I: Mickey Blurr zoomed over to Fat Randy Pod HQ (the headquarters where we do the pods) to talk about rebranded rainbow fascism and bronies. Tomorrow, we'll have a part II where we bring in our pal (pal of the pod) Andy to discuss what animates a person (namely himself) to continue to watch new episodes of the Simpsons. Songs are "Panic" and "Antoinette (First Degree Initiation)" by Mickey Blurr. Link to Mickey's music: https://mickeyblurr.bandcamp.com/. An article about George Jackson, who we briefly mentioned: https://mronline.org/2018/11/17/prisoner-prophet-revisiting-george-jacksons-analysis-of-systemic-fascism/.

We fielded your questions and the results were astounding. So many troubled listeners. We very clearly misunderestimated the depth of some of the issues we face on a day-to-day basis, and this was a truly impactful learning experience that made us all better people.

Shawn and Austin from the band Night Crew dropped by back in January 2020, when we used to be so happy. I ate too much pizza but it seemed like little pizza. We talked about Bret Michaels and shit. Songs: "Rose Garden" and "Thousands of Miles" by Night Crew.

I hadn't seen the Let's Get Invisible guys since literally the day before the first COVID shutdown happened, so I just wanted to pay my dues and check in. John seems to be sleeping in glass. Song: Theresa Falls Up the Stairs, Theresa Falls Down the Stairs - Let's Get Invisible.

From January 2020. We had some bottle champagne and Schaffer's with Let's Get Invisible and it was a time. Songs featured are "Punchyouinyourfuckface" and "Sex Tape" by Let's Get Invisible.

From December 2019: We watched this timeless classic about screaming, "This plane is going to explode" on a plane with no real criminal consequences. (Movie trailer voice) Unless you're guilty of cheating death's design. A truly riveting experience I can't wait for you to be a part of.

Hello we're back. Took a brief hiatus because we needed to finish writing the record(s) and I entered a period where I haaaated (and continue to hate) my (Stephen) presence on the internet. 

 

But I've got such a huge backlog of podcasts that to make it up to these folks, we're doing this kind of a compare/contrast mini-series (seeing as some of these are pre-pandemic). Enter Ish Gupta, local comedian heartthrob. Follow him on Instagram @doofyish, and Part I (Part II) is coming on Friday, so be sure to check out how happy we used to be.

Carl and Mike from the Boston-based Kal Marks stopped in to pod back in January, and it makes me actively miss gigs and running sound and eating a sheet of buffalo chicken dip by myself in front of a group of people more sober than I. Jason cohosted and we talked about idiot pundits and how creating Facebook events and inviting people to a bar for 5 dollars and a couple hours is actually really hard. Produced and edited by Stephen Friedland. Theme music by Zack Abramo. Songs are "Heads Been Ringing," "Loosed," and "Coffee." Check out more songs and merch from Kal Marks here: https://kalmarks.bandcamp.com/.

CT Verses stopped by the pod back in December with Stephen and Roommate Victoria. We mostly talked about local bands and flat earth, so it's mostly that. Produced and edited by Stephen Friedland. Theme music by Zack Abramo. Bands/songs selected by CT Verses: Crag Mask (Zack's band) - Waver // Pacer; Zanders - Terms & Conditions; Space Camp - SHE TELLS ME YES YES YES. Check out the bands at these links: https://cragmask.bandcamp.com/, https://zanders.bandcamp.com/, https://spacecampct.bandcamp.com/

Daniel and Clara from the band Greetings stopped by the pod last month to talk shop and get wine drunk. Mac cohosted and we discussed Life of Pi, Bohemian Rhapsody and PERFECTLY JUSTIFIED reasons for getting a porn subscription. Jeremiah Creed also popped in to discuss the lore of North Maine. Produced and edited by Stephen Friedland. Songs are (in order): Tide/"American Fear", Trying and Falling. Theme music by Zack Abramo.
