Emily Arlen, the newest member of the Redefining Records Super Secret Task Force joins the show to discuss The Slow Rush by Tame Impala, released in 2020. A noticeably hungover John Pagliassotti is supported by special co-host Andrew Shults as the crew discusses the return of live music, how this record captures a multitude of moments especially the pandemic era, the evolution of Kevin Parker, emu sanctuaries, ostrich farms, and more! Emily thoughtfully guides us through the deeper meanings behind the lyrics of this disco, hip-hop, R&B-inspired album. It’s about TIME (literally). Grab a drink and play along, drink (responsibly) whenever Emily says a buzzword!

Supertramp‘s Breakfast in America w/ Bob Zany

Bob Zany, comedian/lecturer and actor known for his appearances in The Gong Show, Joe Dirt, and Close but No Cigar, joins our very own John Pagliossotti on the podcast to discuss the underrated but classic Supertramp album, Breakfast in America. Released in 1979 by A&M records, this album is playful and fun to listen to, and definitely not an attempt to lampoon American culture! This episode is chock full of jokes, bits, and name-drops to both celebrities and John’s parents alike. As Bob says, “if we’re not laughing, we’re crying,” so stop what you’re doing and take a listen. Grab a drink and play along, or just rub some CBD oil on yourself whenever Bob says a buzzword!
