We discuss such hot topics as:
* “Must the Boys and Girls in America have such a sad time together?
* In the end will anyone learn a lesson?
* Is “Chill Out Tent” more than a hookup song?
Plus, we break down the 20th anniversary show from the POV inside the pit!

January 21, 2023 Fully Rocking In a Halfway House With Burnout Bandmates and Robert Plant's Dove
We have a new single, "Sideways Skull" to chat about!
We also speculate about the forthcoming album "The Price of Progress." "Upright Mike" thinks it may be the shortest album ever by THS-- but "Kevin Is Whenever" quickly fact checks him with a somewhat surprising answer.
Gaspar aka "Run GMC" gets the title of a major "Mountain Goats" song wrong, and the gang has to quickly correct him.
Then we play a new trivia game titled either "Who the Hell Is Craig Singing About Now?" or "The Hold Steady Almost Quizzed Me"

October 18, 2022 Power to the People Making Money With Their Mouths
This isn't a rave it's a podcast about Lifter Puller's last LP, "Fiestas & Fiascos." It's producer "Kevin is Whenever's" first listen to this Lifter Puller classic. Did Craig succeed in pulling off a concept album tied together with a narrative and reoccurring characters (Night Club Dwight, The Eye Patch Guy, Juanita...?) We try to connect the dots on how this influenced the early THS albums. What sounds like THS and what sounds drastically different? So push your little phone into podcast mode and crack open a cold beer...and don't worry if you are out of regular beer you can always get some 3-2...yes you can always get some 3-2...
