Did this act of restitution result in a seasonal slam dunk, or was the song spoiled by comparisons to a certain band that shall not be mentioned? Listen and find out!

Chris L.’s best buddy Chris Brown returns to the show to help the guys analyze “Jimmy’s Fantasy” from the 1993 Redd Kross album Phaseshifter!

Did it send everybody’s pleasure meters into the Redd, or did someone give it a kick in the Kross? Listen and find out!

Yo, POTheads! Episode 670 is now ALIVE! Richard Lefkowitz—lifelong Los Angeles resident, attorney, survivor of the ’70s and author of the rock’n’roll memoir Welcome to Fabulous Angeles—joins the show to analyze “Pure and Easy” from the 1974 outtakes album Odds & Sods by The Who! As is customary for first-time guests, Richard picked the song, and he went with something that connects with him on a deeply spiritual level. Did it resonate with Andy, Nick and Chris the same way, or did someone’s disdain for all things classic rock (looking at you, ALB) make the discussion difficult? Listen and find out!

It’s the opening week of SepTOMber 2026, a special month of shows devoted to Songs of Horniness that would undoubtedly earn the endorsement of legendary sex symbol Tom Jones!

Were his concerns justified, or was this R&B classic the precise elixir for maximum, much-needed aural pleasure after the show’s storm-induced two-week hiatus? Listen and find out!
