- Boy Band Thunderdome pt. 1 (w/ Emily Ruskowski, Sake Toomey, and Jenny Chalikian)
Alright #stoppies, I know we say this a lot, but it's true--this episode is our funniest one yet. Seriously, when else have we been able to snag 2 professional comedians (Emily Ruskowski & Jenny Chalikian) and one hysterical burlesque producer/professional babe/future youtube star (Sake Toomey) together in the same room, talking about boy bands? Since TODAY, that's when! We brought our grown ass friends that are also unashamed teenyboppers together for a very special 2 PART THUNDERDOME where they battle it out over whether O'Town's shamelessly sexual liquid nightmare of a debut album can beat out proto-Bieber boyband lil' bro Aaron Carter's early 00s disasterpiece Aaron's Party (Come Get It). Find out who Heather's favorite Backstreet Boy was, why Jacob from OTown had an octopus in his bedroom, and discover which of our panel had no choice but to write a HUNDREDS OF PAGES LONG Aaron Carter fan fiction as a child since they didn't have internet in their room. It's all so funny, we couldn't help but blow our liquid load a week early so you can "come get it" and be back for more next week for part 2. Get ready for some horny harmonies, prepubescent poetry, and a whole lot of hats on a very special episode of Make it Stop!

56 min - Lil Wayne - Rebirth (w/ Russell Chisholm)It's a trip down memory lane this week as Mike and Heather are joined by their old friend Russell Chisholm. They reminisce about their shared love of The Best Rapper Alive Weezy Baby before diving into the worst thing he ever did -- the massively maligned 2008 rap-rock turd known as Rebirth. Lil Wayne runs the gamut on this album, churning out a wide variety of garbage -- bad punk, bad butt rock, bad ballads, and even bad ska (aka ska). It's all tremendously difficult to listen to and we're sorry you have to share this miserable experience with us. May god have mercy on our souls.

1 hr 40 min - Five Iron Frenzy - Cheeses of Nazareth (w/ Andrew Lowery)
Pick it up pick it up pick it up... no, please put it down. Today our guest is Andrew Lowery from DIWHY The Show and we're talking ska. Not just ska, but a 33 track novelty opus from CHRISTIAN ska stalwarts Five Iron Frenzy. It's called Cheeses of Nazareth, and it's bad in so many ways. It's irritating, it's racist, it's sanctimonious, and perhaps most eggregiously, it has the weakest "hardcore" screams ever cut to wax. It just might be bad enough for Heather to disown ska for good. Give it a listen to find out!

1 hr 44 min - Metallica - St. Anger (w/ Ashleigh and Maggie of Rock Candy Podcast)
Our lifestyle determines our deathstyle, Stoppies, so we're destined to be killed by trash music. For the first time ever on Make It Stop we return to a previously reviewed artist, in this case a now Lou Reed-less Metallica, and their infamous 2003 disasterpiece St. Anger. Maggie and Ashleigh from Rock Candy Podcast join us as we discuss Lars Ulrich's shit sandwiches, Bob Rock's flowing mane, and James Hetfield's fruitless search for self-actualization. We also talk at length about how St. Anger is an abominable blight on the band's career, sounds like it was recorded in an oil drum, and has NO GUITAR SOLOS. WHAT THE HELL. HOW DO YOU MAKE A METALLICA ALBUM WITH NO GUITAR SOLOS??? UGH.

1 hr 35 min - Danzig - Black Laden Crown (w/ Rich Karski)It's Halloween, and that can only mean one thing: It's time for a Danzig review! Comedian Rich Karski joins us to discuss the latest effort from the diminutive, geriatric king of ghoulish tunage, 2017's Black Laden Crown. We go in depth on Danzig's bad politics, his Napoleon syndrome, and his latent homoeroticism. We discuss Danzig's drag name and why the hell he's so goshdarn looooooonely. And we try to get to the bottom of how exactly a crown can be laden with black. It's a spooktacularly shitty album, so beware!

1 hr 43 min - Miley Cyrus - Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz (w/ Dahlia)This week on Make It Stop we’re smoking pot, loving peace, and doing sex stuff. We’re licking your teeth. We’re shoving your head into our armpits. And they weirdly smell good. In 2015, the recently liberated pop superstar Miley Cyrus collaborated with The Flaming Lips and Mike Will Made It to produce Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz, a 23 track, 92 minute slog through her drug addled psyche. Released independently and free from the confines of her record contract, Dead Petz was meant to be Miley’s grand artistic statement. What it ended up being, though, was a cautionary tale about how weed isn’t a replacement for a personality, and how nobody cares if you like to do a sex. Mike and Heather are joined by local blogger and podcaster Dahlia, and they ask the important questions — does Miley even know what sex is? If she does, are she and Wayne Coyne more than just friends? Who is Space Dude and why should we care? And why? Just, why????!!!

1 hr 59 min - Chuggo - Act Like You Might Know (w/ Katie McCarthy)On this week's episode of Make It Stop, comedian and dear friend of the pod Katie McCarthy joins us to discuss Montreal's favorite crackhead Chuggo! Arguably the most obscure album we've covered, Chuggo's Act Like You Might Know is a hidden gem rife with gross sex talk, tampon-related punchlines, and constant yelling. Katie, Heather and Mike try to figure out why Chuggo feels it is such a necessity to lie about his sex life, and ponder his criminal record, his current whereabouts, and his propensity toward consuming strawberry flavored lube. Honestly this is one of the funniest albums we've had the displeasure of listening to. And Chuggo, if you're reading this, and you're not already banned from entering the U.S., please join us on the podcast. We'd love to have you.

1 hr 44 min - Methods of Mayhem (w/ Marcus Ohanesian)Make It Stop is back and worse than ever, Stoppies! The inaugural episode of Season 2 finds Heather and Mike enduring the musical stylings of Tommy Lee for the first time since Mötley Crüe’s Theatre Of Pain. This time around it’s his nearly forgotten early 00s experimental rap rock side project Methods Of Mayhem. It’s got all the hallmarks of the genre, from gross sex lyrics about jizzy jism, to sound bytes of hitting meth pipes, to obligatory Kid Rock and Fred Durst features. Joining our hosts on this odyssey is Worcester’s favorite son Marcus Ohanesian. Combined, they leave no stone unturned in discussing the finer points of Tommy Lee’s career — from his ill-fated marriage to Pam Anderson, to his lengthy criminal record, to, of course, his legendary penis. Lots and lots of talk about Tommy Lee’s penis in this episode, that we can promise you. Like way too much Tommy Lee penis talk. That’s what we call a comeback, Stoppies!

1 hr 31 min - Make it Stop Thunderdome - Good Charlotte vs. Limp Bizkit (Part 2)
Part 2 of 2.
This week Heather and Mike go head to head in the Make It Stop Thunderdome to defend their favorite bad album. Heather's weapon of choice is the eponymous debut of Waldorf, Maryland's favorite sons Good Charlotte. Mike meanwhile goes hard in the paint for another debut, this one from the infamous rap rock goofs of Limp Bizkit -- the terribly titled 3 Dollar Bill Y'all$. Whose trash will reign supreme? Will Mike be swayed by the wholesome rap-tinged pop "punk" of the Madden Brothers? Will Heather be able to resist the allure of Fred Durst's full diaper bounce dancing? Whatever the case, the least worst album must win, no matter how bad we all want to Make It Stop.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
