Blake felt so left out by Andrew's first (and hopefully only) solo attempt, that we got back into the studio to get Blake's thoughts on Hybrid Theory and Linkin Park.

In honor of the 18th episode, Blake and Andrew review NOFX's 18 minute punk rock opera epic, the Decline. The song was recorded in 1999 and is a critique of American social issues. Andrew and Blake cover the top 5 issues mentioned in the song and discuss whether or not those issues are relevant more than 20 years later.

Ep 15 All the Small Fills

Adam McKay and Charles Randolph won the Academy Award for best adapted screenplay for "The Big Short". The film was an incredibly accurate portrayal of the events leading to the Global Financial Crisis. However, the film glosses over the Synthetic CDO - the financial instrument that made the housing bubble a global economic crisis. Andrew and Blake take a deep dive in trying to explain how the synthetic CDO worked and how it magnified the housing bubble. We're sure by the end of this episode, you'll want to occupy Wall Street too.

Ep 12 Listener Feedback

Take your favorite love song, it melts your heart, it brings a tear to your eye and makes you wonder how you ever lived without that special someone. Now take a step back, listen to the lyrics and imagine someone said those words to you in all seriousness. They probably wouldn't be you're lover. They would probably be a serial killer.

Ep 11 Serial Killer Music

Andrew and Blake dig in to the man, the myth, the meme: Michael Bolton. Saying his name sends a shiver down the spine that erupts into laughter.

Ep 10 Michael Bolton - Living Meme

The episode that started it all, recut and remastered for your listening pleasure. Listen to episode that gets down to the chase and omits so much useless exposition.
