Is it Punk?

What could be more fun than converting a van to live out of it and then traveling around the country, shitting into a bucket, not showering for days and eating like shit all while sleeping every night in a wal-mart parking lot and lying to your instagram followers about how sick your life is? That was rather harsh for someone who does in fact think that sounds cool. But while it may be cool, is the #vanlife punk?

Intro Song: The Downfall Of Us All by A Day To Remember

We all like something. Some of you might even like this podcast. (weirdos) But, is liking stuff punk? What about things? I know I have some things and I also like stuff, but was not sure how that changed my punkness so figured best to break it all down with Ian.

This year marked the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Pretty fucked up. So we decided to take a look back and look at the impact 9/11 has had in terms of punk. There's a little bit of political talk here, a little music talk, a little flagrant lefty shit talking on the nationalistic douches who make 9/11 all about promoting war and racism. This ep really has it all.

Items discussed in this EP

Outro Song: Super Tuesday by Leftover Crack

Labor day, a great day for grillin some dogs and an even better day to demand fair compensation from your employer. But is it punk? Yelling at your boss certainly is punk. But is a state sanctioned day to fuck off of work (for some) punk? *shrug*

Outro Song: Happy Holidays, You Bastard by Blink-182

Can we go a single ep with out Connor talking about his dad? Probably not. Is there some weird baggage to unpack there? Maybe! But anyway, yall ever put on a nice pair of shorts and wondered how punk they were? Are they even punk to wear? Well don't worry, we break down the punkness of shorts and even find the optimal length for top tier punkness. Just in time for summer to be almost over.

I (Connor) was sitting on the couch with a group of people around me watching Inside the other day and I was laughing at "fuck their wives, drink their blood" from Bezos I when I felt a lil buzzbuzz in my pocket. A text from Ian asking what we should discuss next. I look back up just in time to hear Bo's primal scream at the end of the song. The fasts decision I ever made. This week, is Bo Burnham punk?

Intro Song: Welcome to the Internet by Bo Burnham

Some absolute DORKS decided to do our job for us back in 2015. Some may say the joke of the idea that spawned this pod was better executed in this Vice article. But I think those that would say that are idiots. Lets see just how PUNK the items laid out on this list are.
