Today we celebrate a belated Valentine's Day by diving into our favorite singles with a theme of love. Join Frizz and Bob as they chat about Factory Records, the Titanic, friend of the show Seal, the Skatt Bros, and more!

The run of bangers continues with a comeback album for the ages, 1984's Private Dancer by Tina Turner. Join Frizz and Bob to hear the story of how a daughter of a sharecropper from Nutbush (huh huh huh) became one of the world's biggest stars. Along the way, learn about Bob's habit of rum guzzlin'. Frizz's secret love of Michael Bolton, and both of our love of Tim Capello.

This week, we continue rolling with bangers as Frizz and Bob take on Prince's Purple Rain. Join us as we tell the tale of a kid from Minneapolis who made it big. We talk about his musician parents, early mentors and projects, and then tell the tale of one of the biggest albums of the 80s. In addition, we talk about Tipper Gore, parental advisory labels, basketball plays, and text message spelling. Let's go crazy!

Today, it is finally happening - Frizz and Bob tackle one of the greatest genre bending albums of all time. Frizz pours a genre bending scotch finished in a bourbon barrel. Bob pours a genre bending bourbon finished in a scotch barrel. Things go crazy while we talk about the history of race records, a man named Fathead, Diet Pepsi, country classics, smarketing, and uncover yet another tie to yacht rock.

Frizz and Bob dive headfirst into one of the most important and controversial metal albums of all time: Iron Maiden's The Number of the Beast. Bob pours Ardbeg Ardcore, Frizz reaches for Cardhu Gold Reserve, and together they trace Iron Maiden's scrappy rise from Christmas Day to cult favorites and lineup changes. Track by track, they explore Viking invasions, twin-leads, psychic children, existential imprisonment, Satanic panic, colonialism, death-row dread, and the Eddie imagery that lit the fire of fear across the nation.

We're back and diving straight into one of the best albums of 2025: Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party. Bob pours Los Dos Amigos Reposado tequila, Frizz grabs the Cairngorm Reindeer Gin, and together we break down Hayley Williams at her rawest and sharpest, touching on relationships, mental health, Nashville politics, Parahoy! lore, Strange Fruit, and a well-earned dunk on racist country stars. It's reflective, vulnerable, insanely catchy, and a love letter to her fans as much as it is for herself. We also learn Frizz is not opposed to ice in her orange juice.

Happy Holidays! This week, we bring you our BIGGEST episode to date - the 12(ish) Guests of Christmas! Join us as some of our best friends and favorite guests from the last few years join us to uncover some of the most obscure holiday songs, share some of our wildest holiday memories, eat puppy chow, laugh about the weirdest nativity set, and find out what the definitive WORST Christmas song of all time is. And - be sure to stick around until the end to answer the age old question - "Mary, did you know?"

Frizz and Bob clink a Coors Banquet and a bottle of Orange Groove Wine as they host the most prestigious, unserious award ceremony in music - the 3rd Annual Rhythm on the Rocks Annual Awards Show. Part celebration, part chaos, part Slim Jim fever dream - together, they hand out honors like Hidden Banger of the Year, Most Disappointing Album, and the coveted Ballbag of the Year, while revisiting everything from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds to Erykah Badu, Springsteen to Grunge, and conspiracy theories & beyond. At our loosiest and goosiest, we cheers to another year of deep dives and good vibes.

Frizz and Bob take a big-picture dive into Pop: Then and Now. Naturally, Bob pours some Old Grand-Dad Bonded, and Frizz downs a new glass of Johnnie Walker Black Ruby, as they unfold how we got from troubadours and Tin Pan Alley to MTV idols, Max Martin machines, and TikTok-engineered hooks for the FYP. They trace pop's constant reinvention through technology, Black innovation, and generational shifts, while taking a look at Sabrina Carpenter's new-stalgia, Taylor "Showgirl" Swift, and the way virality now shapes what's considered "success." It's a fast tour through pop's past, its present chaos, and a game so hard... you'd wish you wrote a whole song about it.

Frizz and Bob raise a mug of coffee and sit down with Nashville duo Friendship Commanders, a band that makes heaviness sing and melody hit like a hammer. Buick Audra and Jerry Roe join in to talk about their new album BEAR (out NOW on Magnetic Eye Records) - a powerful, soul-baring journey through belonging, identity, and resilience that bridges hyper-melodic light and crushing weight. We dive into what makes this album shine through the darkness, classic horror films as creative fuel, Gen X culture and disillusionment, sludgegaze, and the lasting influence of Steve Albini.
