  • Prepisode # 143 - Was (Not Was) - Walk The Dinosaur
    Apr 7 2026

    This week we're discussing the hit single Walk the Dinosaur by Was (Not Was), released in 1987. Catchy song with a lame novelty dance for children' s movies, or dire warning of the dangers of nuclear power in the hands of man? We definitively answer that question, among others.

  • #243 - Face/Off
    Mar 24 2026

    This week is a very special episode that has nothing to do with music. We are unlocking the vault to release the Patreon exclusive episode on the hit film Face/Off. Tim and Garrett discuss the 1997 film starring Nic Cage and John Travolta in more detail than anyone probably should. The discussion is as long as the movie and we heavily edited our episode from the original 3 hour runtime. We love this movie.

    In this episode we discuss alternative names for the "face waterfall", if Nic Cage found the Holy Grail, whether you can legally call yourself a lawyer, how old is Johnny Depp, how to keep hair out of your wounds during a haircut, can you share an ambulance, how old is the youngest FBI agent in history, is Caster Troy dead, and so much more!

    Feb 24 2026

    This week we remember a simpler time. The year was 2003, America was spreading democracy far and wide, scientists had just mapped 99% of the human genome, and Clay-mania was (apparently) sweeping the nation. That's right we're talking about that guy who almost won American Idol, Clay Aiken, and his debut album Measure of a Man.

    In this episode we discuss Tim's time away from the show, Garrett's bath phase, how to destroy a life temporarily, can you read the DNA of an invisible man, is Kevin Bacon good enough for Elizabeth Shue, the benefits of practice, a predator known as The Claiken, Tim learns OJ Simpson passed away, how much it costs to buy a mall, Windows 3.11 standard features, and so much more!
