We Both Podcast Together

They finally did it. The boys have done a commentary for the oft mentioned episode of Parks and Recreation that features the Decembies. Fire up your favorite streaming service (but it pretty much has to be Peacock, at least in the States) and watch along to Season 6 Episodes 21-22 of Parks and Rec with Matt and Pete. Things that are discussed: Cones of Dunshire, various actors that have been Me-Too'ed, whether or not commentary episodes are a good idea (they are), The Decemberists (barely). We're almost to the end of WBPT season 2! Just one more episode after this one!

This week the boys are joined by NO ONE to talk about the two most nerdy things they like: The Decemberists and Board Games. The Decemberists participated in the creation of a card game called Illimat. Pete (who has secretly been a board game designer this entire time!?) walks us through Illimat, how it came to be, and where it belongs in The Decemberists canon. Truly, a feast for the ears and mind!

Also, we're taking next week off, so we'll see you July 19th!

PS: Here's a link buy the game:

We don't get any money if you buy the game. We just really like it.

On this VERY SPECIAL EPISODE, WBPT has its first guest host; Steve Wissinger!

Is this functionally the same as having him as a guest? Maybe. But Matt and Pete didn't have to do any research this time because Steve came in hot with a bunch of info on today's topic: Offa Rex.

For those of you that live under a rock, Offa Rex is a one off (so far) side project/cover band featuring all of the current members of the band "The Decemberists" and English singer/songwriter Olivia Chaney.

Check out this awesome playlist Steve made of all the songs covered in today's episode (colloquially referred to as "the homework") : https://open.spotify.com/playlist/15zVkGsh6lo5QgCmGtL0Dr?si=d2ac6a9dbfd34c05

The Boys are joined by Justin Blair Spaeth to discuss Colin Meloy's solo work: his live album (Colin Meloy Sings Live!), and his 4 cover EP's (Sings Morrisey, Sings Shirley Colins, Sings Sam Cooke, and Sings the Kinks). As usual, we are relentlessly mean to our favorite ginger Decemberists fan. I have no idea why he puts up with our abuse, but we're glad he does.

An episode Pete described as the most masturbatory episode we've ever done. In this episode The Boys take some time to recalibrate and reassert their musical tastes by talking about what they've been listening to since the end of WBPT season 1. Pete reveals his secret hip-hop proclivities while Matt explains his K-pop fandom in a way that makes it sound like he's into K-pop for reasons other than the music (Which is not the case! He really just likes pop music sometimes!). A classic Pete/Matt hang out, mess-around chat.

It's been almost 4 years since the last episode, and with a new Decemberists album looming, the Boys are back to discuss/belittle their favorite band. In this episode, (a very sleepy) Matt and Pete are joined by returning guest (our first three-timer!) Steve Wissinger, to talk about the first two tracks released from As it Ever Was, So it Will Be Again; "Burial Ground" and "Joan in the Garden".

Also in this episode, Pete tries to rally everyone's spirits with a new segment, then Steve counters with a segment of his own, which Pete takes over and makes his segment. It's pandemonium.

Welcome to We Both Podcast Together Season 2!

Pete and Matt are joined by fan favorite (probably) guest Mason Redmon to talk about The Decemberists two Christmas songs, Decemberists side project Black Prairie, Canadian Sitcoms, Canadian crooners that hate Jesus, Alan Jackson, Creed, Die Hard, and, of course, 9/11. This is a wild one folks, truly a magical Christmas Journey. Happy Holidays! See you in 2021!

This week the boys are taking a listen to Colin's band when he was in college: Tarkio. The lads are joined by Justin Spaeth, who still reads a lot of books you guys, he's very smart. Also discussed: Mormons, Catholics, The Irish, and at some point Matt conflates two Sean Connery (RIP) movies titles and  confuses it for a non-Sean movie {(Highlander + Outland) - Sean Connery = Outlander}.
