Wherein the gang discuss The Beach Boys' second 1967 album, Wild Honey. Other topics include winter weather, Ron DeSantis (we hardly knew ya), and discovering the real meaning behind a seemingly-innocent phrase.

In this episode, Matt, Glenn, and Tim discuss Smiley Smile: the 1967 album that appeared after The Beach Boys' SMiLE project was abandoned. Other topics include time-traveling art thieves, stoned animals, and the name of our least favorite veg-e-table.

In this episode we discuss Brian Wilson's legendary SMiLE project, and the monumental singles "Good Vibrations" and "Heroes and Villains." Other topics include tape theft, strategies for hiding baldness, and practical uses for indoor tents.

In the second half of our look at Pet Sounds, we discuss the album's B-side, and its short- and long-term impact on the pop music landscape. Other topics include The Beach Boys' attempt to make a horror film, a spirited debate over the difference between a theremin and a Tannerin, and where exactly Mike Love was on January 6th.

We've reached the summit!! In this first installment of a two-episode focus on Pet Sounds, we discuss the context and first half of what may be pop music's greatest masterpiece -- at least aside from those created by Buckethead. Other topics include the etiquette of wearing hats in swimming pools, our most emphatic episode of "Sound & Vision" to date, and the nicest thing that we'll ever say about Mike Love.

It's time for a Beach Boys' Party! Well, kind of... Matt, Glenn, and Tim discuss The Beach Boys' 1965 quasi-live record on a podcast dropping just in time for the Q4 holiday shopping rush. Good news: it's free! Other topics include Mike Love the narc, a Carole Kaye correction, and Tim's visit to the Bob Dylan Center.

The guys discuss The Beach Boys' second album of 1965: Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!). Additional topics in our least coherent episode to date include exclamation point etiquette, Al Jardine's fateful lobster encounter, and the longest-ever "Sound and Vision" feature.

Matt, Glenn, and Tim discuss The Beach Boys Today: the 1965 album that saw Brian Wilson turning his full attention toward studio production. Other topics include Wrecking Crew-related gossip, Murry Wilson's infamous drunken rant, and the tragic story of Dick Rising. Really...

In this very special episode -- another throwback to the Strange Currencies Podcast -- Matt, Glenn, and Tim break down Mike Love's legendary speech from The Beach Boys' 1988 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It's a monumental achievement in American oratory: kind of like MLK's "I Have a Dream," or Lincoln's Second Inaugural -- only completely lacking in humility, self-awareness, or hair.

It's officially the holiday season, which means it's also time for the obligatory annual listen to The Beach Boys' 1964 Christmas album. Other topics include JFK/Phil Spector conspiracies, a surprising new villain, and Mike Love's worst vocal performance to date.
