This week your favorite cousins tackle their first-ever fan request—and it’s a good one: Queens of the Stone Age and the mad genius behind it all, Josh Homme.

Adam and Mike dive deep into the desert-fueled chaos of QOTSA, unpacking what makes the band so original, so weird, and so undeniably awesome. Along the way, they pay tribute to Miles’ dad, roast Star Wars continuity, and try to explain why some Adam Sandler movies just hit.

📝 Topics we hit:

• The YouTube comment that made this episode happen

• What makes Queens of the Stone Age so different—and why it works

• Dave Grohl’s wild ride through Songs for the Deaf

• Why originality is Josh Homme’s superpower

• Star Wars prequels, bad acting, and high ground memes

• Adam Sandler, Funny People, and the underrated beauty of sad comedies

• The Collective Soul documentary no one asked for (except Adam)

🎵 Artists & Albums Mentioned:

Queens of the Stone Age
Kyuss
Dave Grohl
Foo Fighters
Collective Soul (briefly… sorry, Adam)
Adam Sandler (yes, we’re counting him)

🧠 Final Take:
Songs for the Deaf is your gateway drug. But like most great bands, Queens of the Stone Age takes time. Weird chords, gritty vocals, and surprising turns—that’s the charm. And Josh Homme? He’s out here breaking musical rules just to see what happens.
