Artists are a funny bunch. They think very highly of themselves, have logic that does NOT cut both ways, and often times have poor recollections and understandings of their past statements and their own work. Join us for Season 1 Episode 3 as the boys break down New Radicals, their song "You Get What You Give", and unpack Gregg Alexander's hubris-laden and distorted interpretation of his own lyrical content.

Previous Episode
S1E2 - Soul Asylum, Runaway Train.
Andrew and Jerry break down the long, winding, and peculiar story of a tuneful punk band's descent into "live, laugh, love" hallmark-channel mediocrity. Jerry also bravely proclaims some highly controversial and spicey takes on Nirvana, which are frankly just plain wrong. Brave, but wrong. How 'bout that?
Join the boys as they recount Soul Asylum's story, address why they may be a bad band, and argue how Runaway Train is a great song.
And answer us this: Are you "indie" if the label you're on is owned by Hasbro?

Next Episode
S1E4 - P.O.D., Alive.
The boys do their best to avoid ad-hominem attacks, but this episode gets pretty fuckin' close! Join Andrew and Jerry as they get into the importance of vowels, the value of knowing the meaning of the word "justify", and they discuss the complexities of christian bookstores.
Content warning: P.O.D. has an anti-choice song titled "Abortion is Murder" which is discussed, quoted, and picked apart in this episode.
