Nickelbackin'

The lads are back and flying solo this time as they regale each other with tales from the various Boston and Philadelphia buses. Also discussed: the fact that Christopher continues to get made fun of by middle schoolers despite no longer being one, Abram's bathroom time 40s style radio show, and John's fond rememberance of the Fung Wah bus. Oh and Taco Bell, of course. We get a bit weird with this one. Godspeed.

Hello and happy 2018, everyone! Due to various trips around the northern hemisphere and general holiday madness, we had to skip our planned Christmas episode. But fear not! We've returned with a fresh new episode to ring in the new year! Join John, Abram, and Christopher, as they are joined by longtime bud Patrick Vitalone to discuss British cuisine. Is it awful? Is it delicious? Are we just human garbage disposals that are too into chicken parm? Can it be all of the above? Come for the discussion, and stay for the text message notifications/kazoo noises that occur frequently on Abe's end.

Coming at you cold from the tail end of Thanksgiving month, Christopher, John, and Abram all holed up in the same room to have a discussion about the makeup-wearing portrait of 1970s excess, KISS. We talk about our own different, often difficult, relationships with the band's music as well as the band members themselves, and why Blabbermouth is possibly the Breitbart news of Nickelback content. 
 
Our theme song is (currently) "Blush" by Calvinball. Check out songwriter Patrick S. Barry's other work at https://gramlins.bandcamp.com/!

Lordy, were there ever a lot of possible titles for this episode. Instead of wasting your time with a description, we'll just list the alternates:
 
McPoop
Tears Are In My Eyes
I Don't Think That Joey Greco Really Got Stabbed
Grunt Truck, From The Ashes Of Skin Yard
Fugazi's Las Vegas Residency

After an arduous journey home, Abram is back in Philadelphia and the Tenderboys/Tendermen/TenderBoyz II Men (it's complicated) have finally found time to reconvene from afar. Assisted by Patrick S. Barry (he of our theme song fame), we dive into something we can finally agree to just kinda hate - jam bands. Ugh. We also get into some other things like our cosmic connection with Shane Torres and a fun story about Jimmy Buffet's plane getting shot down. Enjoy!

Who's that weary traveler knock-knocking on my door? Why, 'tis Abram, in town for a visit! For the first time the three of us sat down in a room to record an episode, and this was a pretty good topic for that purpose. We discussed Walmart in all its glory, talked about derelict strip malls with pizza stands, our friends in the Insane Clown Posse fandom, and much more!

It was inevitable, so we figured we'd just do it. We gave a listen to Nickelback's latest album, "Feed the Machine", and we sat down to discuss whether our feelings about the boys have changed or whether FTM furthers the stereotype. Joining us is noisemaster/trashcaster builder Rick Surette, and we find time to reminisce about unsafe driving conditions in Philadelphia and somehow find a reason to talk about Slint's Spiderland yet again. Also, we announce the Nickelbackin' Theme Song Contest!

Striking while the iron is approaching room temperature, we're back for a special Father's Day recording. Guest host (and dad) Jim McQuaid joins the fray as we discuss the phenomenon of Dad Jokes. Are they funny? Are they lame? Are they akin to fighting or not wearing deoderant? Is Christopher right that Guy Fieri fans should be called Tenderboys? Listen in as we try to crack this particular egg.

Well what would we be if not a mess? No one knew what our topic was, so we kind of tried to capture it all. Cargo shorts, toe shoes, and Eddie Vedder are all on the table in this one. Speaking of tables, for the first time, Christopher and John recorded together along with guest Chris "Squiggy" Sicuranza around a table, and this ep certainly benefits from that fact. It does not benefit, however, from Christopher's dying compressor which was the culprit in the last episode, as well. RIP, compressor. You've soiled your last podcast.
 
Enjoy!

We're back from a quick lull after Christopher moved to a new house. The downside is that he's not had a chance to work out the kinks in his recording rig just yet, so there's a bit of audio issues on his end. Sorry about that, and hang with us as we discuss the mayor of Flavortown himself, Mr. Guy Fieri. Guy Guy sure gets a lot of hate, but is it warranted? Probably not.
We find time to rope in some other Food Network luminaries and discuss who would be more fun to hang out with than Fieri, and why spending a night on the town with Anthony Bourdain may not be the best idea.
