What's up Kings, Queens and our non-binary royalty, this week we are coming at you with a HOT ep fresh out the oven. This is Part 1 of ??? parts where we are going to figure out what the most punk state in America is. Who knows when the second part of this tournament will come out. But either way the homies Joey and Ryan from Kirby Grip came by to help us figure this one out. Make sure to follow them on all the stuff and to check out all their music, it rips. And be on the lookout for their new shit dropping later this year. 

Check them out on Bandcamp here!

PART 2! Yea like we said in the intro to the last one, we accidentally went on super long on this one so we decided to split it up into a two parter. Hopefully you enjoyed part 1 and you're back for part 2 or maybe you're absolutely insane and you're gonna listen to part 2 first. You do you.

Intro: Deciding by Saves the Day

Saves the Day is one of our favorite bands, but are they punk? Certainly a solid maybe, but a hard question to fully answer. So that's why this week we decided to rip through their whole discography and really figure out just how punk they are. And not to get any of you too excited but Connor developed some new technology that he decided to unleash upon the world this week. The Punk-o-Meter. A scale of 1-10 where we can now certify the percentage punk anything is. Will we go back in time and assign numbers to topics from past eps? Probably not. Will we forget to use this system in the future? Maybe. Enjoy!

Intro: All-Star Me by Saves the Day

Outro: The Tide of Our Times by Saves the Day

Two weeks in a row and we got guests coming through. Absolutely wild stuff. This week it was a bit more of an interview with Logan Williams. Ultra trail runner, member of the Salomon Running US Pro Team, future Lawyer, and most importantly Ian's cousin. You'll hear all about how Logan got into Punk via hand-me-down ipods and how much of an absolute psychopath he is when it comes to running. You'll also hear Connor talk about eating two doughnuts in preparation for this episode. Make sure to follow Logan on ig @thelawlessrunner.

Intro: Painting by Numbers by Marathon

Outro: Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

Only took us a dozen eps to land out first guest. Lord Bev, chief action figure dude over at @lord_bev_ on instagram and Ian's long time friend joined us to figure out if superheroes are punk or not. Ian and Bev are socially distant in a garage so the audio is a little funky, but thats punk. And Connor runs down his list of the top 10 most punk superheroes that include a humanoid cat and the lamest Spiderman universe ever. Make sure to give our mans a follow and as always, go fuck yourselves.

Intro: Superman by Goldfinger

Outro: Sidekick by Rancid

Whats up MF'ers this week we get to the bottom of a serious question on the minds of many this time of year. Is Ireland punk? On this EP you get to hear Connor do a bad job at his actual job, being a historian, and listen to Ian slur his words as he gets 4 Guinness deep. We also maybe talk a little too much about how cool the IRA was, but yaknow it's hard to say they weren't at least, pretty cool. Also we got new mics so now we sound real good, enjoy.

Intro Song: Come Out Ye Black and Tans performed by The Wolfe Tones

Outro Song: Go On Home British Soldiers performed by The Wolfe Tones
