  • Ra Ra Riot Fest: The Reviewening

    We did it, guys. We did the thing that's the name of the show. We lived for this: Riot Fest Day 1.

    We sit down and talk about transportation and transit to an around Chicago, the food, the sights, the overheard conversations, and most importantly, the music. It was such a fun time, a great experience, and join us as we show you the highlights and lowdown on the less than highlights.

  • Ra Ra Riot Fest

    Sorry for the delay, sometimes we get sick around this house! We did our best to recover before we head to Chicago for Riot Fest.

    So this week we talk about what we're looking forward to eating, seeing, doing, listening to, living for our whirlwind couple of days of music in the City by the Lake. Sports comes to its logical conclusion and we have so much coming up. Really excited to share with you guys!

  • Gimme Merch, Bringin' Fire - Get Me That Which I Desire

    Another week, another good time with the squad.

    We talk Oasis's etched in stone playlist, an update on Lil Nas X, Mastodon saluting Brent Hinds, Camp Flog Gnaw revealed, and did you know August 28th is National Radio Commercial Day? We talk some commercials we remember from the radio!

    This extended holiday weekend provides Paul with a smorgasbord of college football viewing options along with his Fantasy Football draft. Nobody cares about this but he does.

    We talk a little more about our Riot Fest adventure, talk karaoke, making mistakes and taking the L, and merchandise.

  • Worked You Into a Shoot, Brother

    The team are back with a concert calendar, the sad news of the passing of Brent Hinds, Lil Nas X making a scene, Gary Oldman's thoughts on a post David Bowie world, Rob Halford's sadness, Slipknot selling their back catalog. We swing around to college football, Victor Robles throwing a bat at dude, WWE being a cancer you can't excise. We dig through an old mix CD, talk about concert experiences, who we want to be, and we give our personal Mt Rushmore of vinyl.

  • You Thought You Knew (But You Had NO Idea)

    The squad this week dive into Jack White's beautifully pure love of baseball, Nine Inch Nails hitting the road in North America, an unrequested Kevin Federline memoir, hope for Tiny Desk, Mastodon drama (Mastodrama,) and future Chappell Roan plans. We wheel into sports and talk UFC on the South Lawn, absolute disrespect across the board, and Cleveland football. We made it through to Z in the A-Z Game, talk in bits about seeing Ben Quad last week, made a little seasonal sampler, got in our feels, and talked about what we're excited for for the remainder of the year.

    We had a great time. Come have fun with us, buds. Find that thing that makes you say, "I live for this."

  • What's it mean to be a man? What's it take?

    We're back, July ends TODAY, but we don't stop. The gang talks about Ozzy's influence on Lita Ford, new Tame Impala, "new" Chappell Roan, new Hayley Williams, the Jet2 Holiday promo meme being used for disgusting purposes. We are expecting and accepting gratitude from the city of Cincinnati for improving contract talks by talking about it. We dig into toxic masculinity, live performances and weird instruments, and we listen to a Madonna remix.

    We had fun! Did you? We hope so. Thanks for joining us this week and until then, keep living passionately and do those things that make you live for this.

  • Hold My Hand, Break My Brain

    We're back! July is almost over, summer is in full humid swing and so are we. We talk about Ozzy's passing, new Tyler the Creator, Stevie Wonder on retirement, Metallica helping Tomorrowland, Billie Eilish working with James Cameron. Over in sports we talk about the evergreen Chris Paul still signing contracts, racist sports team names being viewed nostalgically, the Bengals ownership group making our friends in Cincinnati depressed, and we made you guys a little playlist in our games.

    We had fun, we hope you have fun. Take care of yourselves, hug your loved ones, and don't forget to live for this.

  • The Internet's Most Tryin'est Music Nerds

    Folks, good to see you there. Thanks for joining us again. This week, we're talking some events around our little St. Louis part of the world, Billie Joe Armstrong shutting down a fan with main character syndrome, Dua Lipa doing two sold out nights at Wembley, Brent Hinds formerly of Mastodon being dramatic, Bonnaroo Bucking Up for full refunds, NBA Champions Oklahoma City Thunder is favored by an angry God, FIFA cash grabs, Aaron Rodgers, and some fun questions! We talk about the Callous Daoboys, Kesha, it's great. And best of all, it's a short little episode. A nice tasty treat.

  • Practice Makes Burfict

    Folks, sorry for the break. Literally. Be careful in the rain. But we're back with a boat load of news! Sad news with the passing of Brian Wilson and Sly Stone. Total bummer. Jenn went and saw Kendrick and SZA, Turnstile is gearing up for Turnstile Summer, LORDE DOING LORDE THINGS, Kesha doing Kesha things like a video that Paul live reacted to, bye bye to Bonnaroo and stage names that really need stronger workshopping. We have our hockey overlords making it two cups in a row, the NBA having a cracker of a series, the San Francisco Giants doing king things, and some unique takes on some common questions. It was a lot of fun, it was incredibly cathartic, and thanks for sticking around. We love you.

    Once again, hit us up. We are all over the place.
