There's no better way to celebrate 50 EPISODES than have our biggest guest so far hop on with us and talk about an important anniversary this year - WARPED TOUR.
Joined by our local hero WILL FRAZIER and our buddy MATT NORMAN, Will regaled us with tales of touring, various bands, crazy interactions, and the current state of affairs with music alongside large festivals and what there is to offer in the punk scene.
We had an absolute blast with Will, and our buddy Matt joined us to help navigate the co-host duties in the absence of John, who is taking a short break from the show.
Thank you so much to everyone who brought us aboard for 50 episodes, thank you to our friend Jess for hooking us up with Will, and we look forward to another 50 episodes (and more).

This is a re-release of an older episode. Due to recent events, this episode is being brought again to fruition to cover the lives and impact of Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington, two amazing musicians who sadly left the world behind by their own means.
This episode is dedicated to our buddy Arthur. We love you.

A lot of people want to look at the Super Bowls of previous years and talk about performances, but where is the mention of Usher's performance as a Power Ranger?
...Well, not on here, because we don't crack on fashion choices...much.
However, what we do discuss is the impact a singer like Usher Raymond has on the industry, and how a wide array of popularity is met with sex appeal, raw talent, and genital herpes (seriously).
Join us for this episode where we cover USHER, only on Parley Radio - Where Evidence Faces the Music.
If you ever had an inquiry about how the minds of Devin and John work, look no further than this episode.
At the time of streaming, the Grammy's were almost a week prior, and we had not only no interest in watching, but a firm reason to see everything get a little bit more exciting than previous years.
How did we make that happen?
By creating our predictions along with professional wrestling input!
Join these two idiots as they break down how Billie Eillish spears Sabrina Carpenter through the barricade, Post Malone fights alone, and how R-Truth looks to win Money in the Bank against Beyonce.
Don't try and make sense of it - we sure as hell didn't.
Did you know that everything is connected in fictional characters? Literally, everything. It can all be linked together.
Jay and John were not aware, but through careful research and studies, Devin was able to link everything by defining "canon" in its most basic form.
How does it work? You'll have to listen in and find out.

Three years ago, on a cold January afternoon, during a recording of a previous show, Devin lost a game where he was forced to watch the worst Christmas movie ever produced.
If you read the title, and you know what it is, then you can sympathize.
What follows are his notes as presented from his watch of the film to Jay and John, so they can experience the horror of Kirk Cameron's production with him through his flashbacks.
Join us as we explore one of the worst reviewed movies of all time, one of the worst acted films of all time, and the frankly bizarre Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas.
Now...help us raise money for Devin's therapy.
But first, hot chocolate.
Could we have found a more lame (controversially) band to cover?
...I dunno, probably?
Either way, the private eyes of DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES are always watching you, whether it's through massive success in singles, very odd character work in the acting world, or a focus on Mark Henry and mistaken identity, we decided to cover them.
Special thanks to Danny Attack and the lads from Knives for the suggestion - let us never listen to your suggestions ever again.
Take #2 on this recording!
Today, we welcome in the band KNIVES (Danny Attack, Adam, Brendan) to talk about their favorite band - BLINK 182.
The group that started in the days of band names created off of AOL Instant Messenger brings in a reunion no one saw coming. Mark, Tom, and Travis might now be touring and playing together again, but that's not without some troubles in between.
Join us as we talk aliens, UFO's, Mark Wahlberg, Tom Cruise, and how many albums have actually been recorded by the band.
Thanks again for KNIVES hopping on this episode. We initially had them on last year, but due to audio issues, couldn't edit or publish anything, so they were nice enough to swing by again.
KNIVES and DANNY ATTACK will be playing at this year's THE FEST in Gainesville, Florida. More information on upcoming shows can be found here: https://www.dannyattack.com/

And now for something completely different!
This is the FIRST episode of Parley Cinema, where we take you to the movies to pitch the script on a smash or a box office bomb.
This week - we take a look into the actor JACK BLACK and see if the demons he worship in Tenacious D left the rest of the world with a bad taste in his movies, or a success in life and on screen.
Enjoy the first episode of Parley Cinema - Where Facts go to the Movies.
This episode is a different take on what we've done previously, with a more in-depth journalistic take on the events that transpired over the hot July weekend in 1999.
This is Woodstock 99.
Join us as we look at the bands, the coverage, and the booking of an event that was originally intended to celebrate the anniversary of the Peace and Love festival, that ended in disaster with the deaths of 3 people and hundreds of thousands in damages.
Jay takes the stage as host this week. Take a listen in and enjoy this episode of Parley Radio - Where Evidence Faces the Music.
Do you also like tacos and burritos?
Jennifer Lopez isn't a fan, either of us or South Park, so what better way to annoy her than to cover her for this episode!
Join us as we do a deep dive into "Jenny from the Block" if that block is actually in a predominantly upper class part of the Bronx that she talked about constantly without having any association...not like we're calling her out or anything.
See who the real divas are in this edition of Parley Radio - where evidence faces the music.

Do you remember where you were on the day Drake deleted all mention of his feud with Kendrick Lamar from social media?
Did you think it was also ridiculous for him to use an AI voice of Tupac Shakur on a song?
Do you like hearing about beef and all of its qualities?
Well, do we have the episode for you! Our episode covers the metrics of KENDRICK LAMAR AND DRAKE.
We will say, it's best for them to figure out how to herd cattle, because it's nothing but beef!
Check this out, and keep listening to Parley Radio - Where Evidence Faces the Music.

It's been a while...since we've published an episode.
This week, we look at contingencies, specifically what type of contingencies we can use in the event Aaron Lewis gets popular again as we cover his not-as-controversial band STAIND.
The Nu Metal ballad makers are the subject of a man who wears red hats and forgets the Star-Spangled Banner during an MLB World Series game.
Also, we have some shout-outs for some old and new buddies.
Join us for where we hurt the most - listening to this music.

You asked for it.
Then you asked for it again.
Then we forgot about it, and had you remind us.
Then our hearing wasn't the best, so we went to the audiologist to get that checked out and see what was going on.
Then we realized there was a lot of wax up there, so we had that cleaned out, and asked you to repeat it one more time.
So here it is, the episode you've been waiting on...
This is...SPINAL TAP...the episode.
Join us as we embark on a tour of drummers, Stonehenge, beed with Metallica, and some other weird things that we're sure might cause issues with the Geneva Convention.
And as usual, hit the Follow/Subscribe button. Parley Radio - Where Evidence Faces the Music.
Let's go, girls...and guys...and those with other specified or unspecified genders.
The Canadian beauty queen herself, SHANIA TWAIN, is the focus of today. Join Jay and Devin as they discuss Shania's crazy sales, odd choice in husbands, immediately apologizing over a Tweet that came across as a former President's endorsement, and so much more!
Plus - Does Jay ever pronounce "Canada" correctly, or has the world been wrong this entire time?
Don't be a hoser, tune in, eh!
We don't know either.
This week, our scheduled recording got shifted due to life events, so we just decided to make weird and talk about a few things.
Jay and Devin reflected upon our Traps episode released a year ago with our friend Justin from CHEER UP DUSTY, the finer points of Marvel Studios, and various half-hearted promotional tactics that sure as hell won't work.
We're Parley Radio - we're so sorry you had to listen to this.
Have you ever wondered what breed of cat she is?
Or if she said what she said was really making her famous instead?
Well, you're in luck, because this week, we cover the Moo girl herself - DOJA CAT!
Find out why she's a cow, a b****, a troll, and doesn't understand pejoratives enough to be concerning.
Also, a plug for some bands you should check out in the very beginning of the episode!
