Episode 240 - Brothers Keeper 01.07.2026

Are polarity and polarization the same thing? Normally I'd ask claude but I'm behind on payments because of the economy. Is it magnetic or just annoying to squeeze a population without offering them healthcare or affordable chalupas in return? One would think the answer is obvious but it's hard to think when me and 4 bros are trying to outrun a fantasy killer asymmetrically. Post your fave BROTHER...

Episode 239 - Kalibas 24.06.2026

In this episode we disrespect liminal situations. We look at the haunted empty room and spruce it up with collectible extreme metal statues. We revisit forgotten moments in music and repopulate them with teen-sleaze crisis actors. We stick a scalpel into the grey featureless hide of 2000s grind and appreciate the surprisingly marbled meat within. Join us in our empty yellow home and dine on Roches...

Episode 238 - Ice Nine 17.06.2026

As citizens of the world with a mission to promote equality and international cooperation, we're here to consume very expensive yet narratively hollow overseas products AND the most dirt cheap homegrown entertainment available even if it's just a very locally popular bird. But ICE NINE weren't locally popular - they were so well know that our local hero Kurt Vonnegut wrote about them!

Episode 237 - waco fuck 10.06.2026

Come with us to explore fruit and its meaning, tone and its qualities, height and its place, and magnets, how do they work? Now I'm starting to wonder if some algorithm is about to penalize me for not Q-Bert censoring WACO FUCK.

Episode 236 - Doom 03.06.2026

This is an episode about fast, stripped down music and you know your boys only like slow complicated things so we brought in a fast, stripped down ringer, TYLER HAMMER from the KINGS OF PUNK podcast to be our... uh... what's a non-sketchy word for a guide up the mountain? Oh speaking of mountains here's DOOM.

Episode 235 - Red Reaction 27.05.2026

Ain't nothin' wrong if you wanna do the Club all night long. First Seven Inch Club, that is. I'm saying join our Patreon even though we included some Patreon cracklin's in here for free. Until then, belly up to the cosmic metal buffet as an appetizer to Western Mass's most inflamed main course, RED REACTION.

Episode 234 - Clay People Ill Remembered 20.05.2026

Today we are trying to overdose on time - desperately trying to shove the past, present and future into our bodies by force, walking down memory lane while sprinting away from cognitive decline, simultaneously old and young at once, comparing Larry Davids while shopping for dolls. The soundtrack is an alternate universe split from 1999's THE CLAY PEOPLE and ILL REMEMBERED.

Episode 233 - Suppression Swing 13.05.2026

This week the price is right, but the vibe is wrong. We’re just trying to check out some records and Natalie Merchant won’t shut the hell up. Trouble me no further, Natalie, because the night belongs to me. Hey! SUPPRESSION SWING! Give ‘em what they want!

Episode 232 - Flame On 06.05.2026

A Cubs baseball to the skull - for that you'd expect to pay 34.99 in stores but I'll tell you what... let's turn into into cash. Every caller that calls in, every hand that goes up... your cost... 14.99 SOLD Next up for bid - deluxe European import... luxury melodic expresso hardcore from FLAME ON - Get up and call in now!!

Episode 231 - sperm crickets 29.04.2026

The world moves quickly and if you don't take time to catch up on the Avatar series, the Devil Wears Prada 2 will have come and gone before you even know it and the whole world my pass you by. Say while I have you here, have you heard the good news about semen grasshop... beg your pardon, ma'am I meant Sperm Crickets?

Episode 230 - Inkwell 22.04.2026

Today we are doing our best to stay free of the devil's dust but our families are starving and these collectible cards aren't getting any cheaper. Let's see if the printshop pros in INKWELL have any useful advice.

Episode 229 - La Gritona 15.04.2026

This week we expand our operation into brick and mortar and sleep and sports as we drizzle a li'l taste of groove-honey all over our revolvers before letting the barrel blow to the sounds of LA GRITONA.

Episode 228 - Machine That Flashes 01.04.2026

This week we fight over who gets the apple, who gets the fudge, and who gets in the ring with WOMEN. Let's see how many Blade Runners we can count while holding our breath because of the pheromones. Once we finish all that, we can finally chill to some music without all those loud guitars for once with MACHINE THAT FLASHES.

Episode 227 - Dawncore 25.03.2026

This episode is about USA USA USA! where we eat Sushi from robots USA USA USA! and celebrate leftist sports memorabilia USA USA USA! and listen to nonstop explosion metal from Hungary USA USA USA! Mutassatok egy kis szeretetet az arcoknak a DAWNCORE bandából! USA USA USA!

Episode 226 - Bergenfield Four 11.03.2026

We're eating taco salads, watching cheese commercials and sneaking into music festivals with predictable sewage mismanagement so you know we got that time machine firing on all six. In Canada our six might only get you four but each one of the four has their own wiki because it's the BERGENFIELD FOUR.

Episode 225 - Dismay 04.03.2026

We're back and it's a good news / bad news kinda week. Kinda weak! Luckily we came armed with a pit-ready slapfest provided your Onkyo rig has an 11 band EQ to fix things up just a touch. If so, point your flying faders at Connecticut's 2nd or 3rd favorite sons DISMAY.

Episode 224 - Three Fifteen 11.02.2026

Bros talk about sports then visit Albany's sister city of Pittsfield, MA for the misleading aesthetics of THREE FIFTEEN.

Episode 223 - Stalingrad 04.02.2026

Shout-outs, Call-outs, Tap-outs, Fade-outs, we're on the outs tonight. Nothing can fade us, bro. Not politics, not larger men, not new babies, nothing. We're so jammed that we went back to England again. We just keep doing this. Check out STALINGRAD.

Episode 222 - 1332 28.01.2026

We're not alone anymore. After all these years of self doubt and questioning our place in the universe, we finally achieve communion and full release with our ancient friend Shelby Lermo. Together we will think about sleeping outdoors accidentally and earning the right to injectables while we consider the music of Oakland's own 1332 (aka EL DOPA (aka ELDOPA (aka THIRTEEN THIRTY TWO)))

Episode 221 - Zegota 21.01.2026

What do you collect? Is it normal sized foodstuffs in miniature? Wow we have that in common. Do you also regret your interests? Because I do. Listen carefully because today's episode contains a unique opportunity to earn free physical media. Don't be a wimp, send in your guess. The worst that could happen is you get toenails. People really win with FSIC. Hey when you get a minute, check out ŻEGOTA...

Episode 220 - World Burns To Death 14.01.2026

This episode we can-can survive the perils of 2026 by never staring into the abyss of ancient productivity software and only strictly dreaming of rockets, both exploding and not exploding. Meet us deep in the heart of Texas where we'll check out a vegan potluck and see WORLD BURNS TO DEATH. Sike, nobody can afford food anymore.

Episode 219 - Tribute. 07.01.2026

This thing of ours has some guidelines but you know what? It also has some freedoms and it's time for us, the Presidents of our thing, to observe and document those freedoms. So from now on, within a very limited set of guard rails, you can eat bad tacos and record bad vocals. Totally unrelated to both American freedom and punk guard rails, presentamos una banda britanica hard-core, TRIBUTE.

Episode 218 - Storm The Tower 31.12.2025

Dirty... and stinkin'... I got the F.L.U. and I got D.R.U.N.K. and it's the end of the worst year in living memory until next year so let's ring it out with an exchanging of dares, sidearms, and intensely scrutinizing the dazzling cut, clarity, and carat of STORM THE TOWER's hardcore hope diamond.

Episode 217 - Haywire 24.12.2025

Listen it's christmas and I'm not working on some description all night. I have stuff to do. Just go to our IG and post your deepest and most private christmas wish. Make it gnarly and legally troubling. After that stop back here and listen to us talk about the boys of HAYWIRE.

Episode 216 - Anomie 17.12.2025

Sometimes words have meaning and sometimes we name things on purpose so you know where to keep them and how to use them... like cat food is for cats and the toilet stick is for private use and dungeon synth is meant to be in a dungeon. Anytime we test the boundaries of these things, the room stinks for weeks. So wash up because it's time to review ANOMIE from Texas.
