Pod of Thunder

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 final episode 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! This week it’s a jam by the man himself, chosen by esteemed guest Tom Kotul: the title track from the 1968 album “Help Yourself”! Did TK’s selection ward off the worst SepTOMber in history, or did he somehow pick the only flaccid performance in Sir Tom’s entire catalog? Listen and find out!

It’s the third 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! This time it’s a pick from returning guest and esteemed POThead Chris Comarato: “September” from the 1978 Earth, Wind & Fire compilation album The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 1! Given the release date of this episode, the song selection was a no-brainer. But did it fit the horny theme, or did this year’s SepTOMber celebration continue to stagger to the finish line? Listen and find out!

It’s the second 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! This time it’s a Nick pick (with an assist from special guest and longtime listener Jeff Spriggs): “Big Top Women” from the 2002 Hank Williams Jr. album The Almeria Club Recordings! Did Bocephus’ ode to large-breasted ladies right the ship after the previous week’s complete misfire, or was it another unfortunate step toward the worst SepTOMber ever? 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! This time it’s a Chris pick: “Look What We Made (When We Made Love)” from the 1986 Lee Greenwood album Love Will Find Its Way to You! For the second consecutive year, the Gunslinger selected something he had never heard before, basing his decision almost entirely on the title. Was the result a repeat of last year’s Vanilla Ice debacle, or did the song’s presumed subject matter justify its inclusion in the SepTOMber theme? Listen and find out!

The guys analyze an Andy pick from the Listener Submission List: “Get Down On It” from the 1981 Kool & the Gang album Something Special! Even though it was submitted by the late, great Tommy Lombardozzi, ALB was hesitant to select this song, thinking it was too close to the vibe of SepTOMber. 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!

The guys analyze a Nick pick from the Listener Submission List: “Go” from the 1993 Pearl Jam album Vs.! PJ happens to be the favorite band of the oldest Jones brother, and in the latest instance of POT serendipity, this song caught NNP’s eye on the eve of Jay’s birthday. Did it get the green light with three Sweet Surrenders and a Rock & Roll Boner coronation, or did someone put a stop to that celebratory scenario? Listen and find out!

The guys analyze a Chris pick from the Listener Submission List: “I Paid the Doctor” from the 2004 Motor City Josh album Blue Collar Blues Man! What prompted the Gunslinger to select something by an almost entirely unknown artist, and a blues artist to boot? Was he totally off-target with this song choice, or did this tawdry tale of fake boobs and a relationship gone wrong hit the bull’s eye on its way to being anointed a Rock & Roll Boner? Listen and find out!

All Elite Wrestling superstar and Fozzy/Kuarantine frontman Chris Jericho returns to the show to help the guys analyze “High in High School” from the 1984 Madam X album We Reserve the Right! Tooj brought this song to the table, and somehow it managed to touch several nerves as the analysis unfolded. Was this the most ridiculous discussion to ever occur during a video watchalong (which is saying something)? What made someone exit the episode during the voting? Listen and find out!

Andy, Nick and Chris honor friend of the show Tommy Lombardozzi by analyzing a song he suggested: “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy” from the 1978 Rod Stewart album Blondes Have More Fun! It was an emotional ride as the guys remembered their recently departed podcasting paisan while exploring Sir Rod’s plunge into the world of disco, featuring a style of lyrical storytelling that inspired a discussion Tommy would have loved.
