In Part 2 of Episode 192, we discuss the allegations surrounding Brand New and those others under the spotlight of sexual abuse and assault within the entertainment industry. It was a tough conversation, but one we felt was needed, especially given our attention paid to Brand New in recent months (on top of just caring about this music scene). Here is a reading list of articles discussed on the pod and those released after that are worth your time.

The greatest romance in the history of podcasting continues with our review of the new Weezer record, "Pacific Daydream." We're definitely in the part of the rom-com where one half of the relationship does something regrettable, while everyone's forced to re-evaluate why they love each other. Rivers and Co. are simply put, testing our ride-or-die pledge.

 

We also talk "Mario Odyssey" and play a round of The Billboard Game.
