08-07-22 Why Bohemian Rhapsody is/isn't overrated

Keith Moon's last days, The Jam and She Came in Through the Bathroom Window

Also: What song has the best build up of all time? Jonathan thinks he has the answer but Rod and James think he's an idiot.

Yoko is even worse than you suspected. The producer of Never Mind The Bollocks produced what other albums? Elon Musk is a garbage person. The Tenacious D Who cover we all need right now. The Ultimate Beatles setlist!

(0:08) Rod is paranoid that his watch watches him masterbate. (2:38) Classic Rock News about musicians we ALL HATE! (Especially Morrissey) (27:23) Song facts! Kenny Loggins fantasized about Tina Turner while he was singing Danger Zone. (47:40) The Rock and Roll Draft! Where we create the greatest super-group known to man!

Who was You Oughtta Know really about (it WASN'T Cousin Joey) and why do Kiss fans WANT to be ripped off?

What band from 1997 should be in the Hall of Fame? Would Sting have gone back to The Police if his solo career had flopped? What Queen song did The Clash rip off? Who were Mr. Wilson and Mr. Heath?

Why are there giants parties in Brazil celebrating the confederacy? A fruit that tastes like chocolate pudding Ernest Hemingway was a BAMF The even sadder story behind that futurama episode What made the moon Pablo's Hippos How Drugs Like Pervitin And Cocaine Fueled The Nazis’ Rise And Fall

We do a list of songs that are sung really fast. Why? Because it's fun to hear people try to sing fast, and impressive when they pull it off.

We talk about the untimely passing of Taylor Hawkins and how devastating it is to lose a best friend suddenly. We also did a list of the best songs about war! Not because that's relevant or anything these days.

Which country was the most evil during World War 1? It's not the country you think...and more crazy facts!

A quick pick me up which is very much needed during this incredibly scary trying time of international strike and concern.

Nope, not THAT one. James will tell you about 1 A creepy German guy who was the basis of the first sci-fi novel ever. 2 How potatoes can kill you 3 The hilarious origin of the word “fascist” Rod will tell you about 1 What came first, the color orange or the plant? 2 How to get a free Tesla! 3 the word bikini, deadline, cup of joe and bite the bullet

How Rod is recovering from Omicron. Why Jonathan "noped" out of Spider Man. Noping out is the best. Jonathan has found peace and joy by doing something weird in the kitchen...and nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen is a REAL song guys.

Why George Carlin didn’t just like being Mr Conductor…why he NEEDED to be Mr Conductor Who invented the fork and WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG?! The conspiracy about the titanic The origins of the word nostalgia We’re getting better at detecting meteors Will Ferrell/Adam McKay/JCR Why we say Willy Nilly Nirvana getting kicked out of their own record release Nasa intern that stole moon rocks

For Jonathan's 40th birthday we went back to 1981 to see what music and the world was like the week he was born! Old School Piracy Decline of the 45 and the jukebox operator Labels discussing music videos Banning headphones in public in Chicago

Edgar Allen Poe is one of the greatest writers in history, but do you know how he died? He was “cooped” what is that? Why we know what Jimmy Hendrix’s penis looks like Origin of the words stereotype and cliche A woman who uhhh...gave birth to rabbits What do the French call French kissing? Why are cats dicks? Roughly halfway between Halley’s comets times...what happened in 1910 when it flew overhead? Will it happen again? Facts about Moose Rods from God?

Listen to this show because it could save your life! Back in the 90s a plane crashed into the mountains and when they started examining it they couldn’t figure out what happened. There were no mechanical defaults, no pilot error. The plane just seemed to crash. What really happened is one of the most tragic parenting stories you’ll ever hear. Remember Gotye? Do you know why he didn’t have another hit? You might not like this song, but there’s no denying it was a huge hit. What he did instead of making a hit is actually really incredible. We think of movies as a fairly recent invention. Something that happened around the turn of the last century. But movies have actually been around since the stone age.

What was Arnold Schwazeneggers biggest paycheck from a movie? Someone tried to invent a flying bicycle? The origin of OK The CIA is very VERY bad at their jobs Why do we have DST?

We decided to put the 90s show on hold for a week and go back to our roots, scrutinizing music!

Jonathan talks about this crazy theme restaurant he went to for his anniversary and then the guys take a trip back to October 26th 1991 to see if things were better!

We talked about why it's important to have heroes and why Jonathan wants to start a religion around some musician from the 60s.

Jonathan is convinced he's going to get the Italian Defemation League called on him because of something his son did at dinner We hop into a time machine and explore the music and mood of October 1992 (hint it SUCKED) And best of all on this podcast? No one will say anything about The Chiefs/Bills game! (Because we recorded it Sunday morning) Brought to you by Akins Pc Repair!

Jonathan talks about going to a concert and having some very contentious interactions with fans The guys discuss what happened in music this day 30 years ago And more!

How Pee Wee Herman handled his cancel culture moment better than any modern celebrity can Radio management is a paranoid wasteland of anxiety and stupidity Who wants to look like Richard Simmons?
