And because no trip down memory lane is complete without an oddball detour, the guys somehow end up discussing the fascinating world of dietary fiber.

Episode 053: What'd you say about my mom? F*** you! (Just kidding... unless?) This episode, Geoff, Russ, and Dave are dropping musical haymakers with the most savage diss tracks in history - and hey, podcast listeners, you look like you got dressed in the dark at a thrift store liquidation sale! Get ready for a musical roast session where musicians settle scores harder than middle school drama club. Pavement's about to drag 90s alt rockers through the mud, Lynyrd Skynyrd's got beef with a Canadian rocker, Carly Simon's precision-targeting some seriously vain men, Mojo Nixon is taking potshots at an Eagle, The Sex Pistols are New York punk scene arsonists, and Insane Clown Posse delivers what might be the most gloriously terrible diss track in musical history. And because no episode of musical shade would be complete without a random tangent, the guys are gonna dive into the soul-crushing monotony of work - because nothing says "diss track" like complaining about your 9-to-5. So grab your headphones, prepare for musical murder, and join us as we talk trash with the most gloriously petty tracks ever recorded.   Seriously, podcast listeners? Your music taste is so bad, Spotify should issue a public apology on your behalf.   Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist Official Site Listener Listens - The Point. - Instagram

Episode 052: It’s almost fall, and that means football. In this episode, Geoff, Russ, and Dave dig into the pigskin with six songs that hit like a linebacker and dance like a wide receiver in the end zone. They blend beats with blitzes with a full lineup including Queen, whose stadium-sized swagger sets the tone for a season of high drama and big plays. The Spencer Davis Group brings the fun from the stands, all pep and groove, while Atom and His Package throws a prophetic flag on the field with a sharp critique of the sport’s darker undercurrents. The guys go deep into the world of professional theme songs with the Ying Yang Twins, whose track feels tailor-made for a rowdy dome crowd, and Joan Jett, whose anthem screams prime-time energy. Then AFI takes it further, peeling back the layers of football’s cultural weight with a sarcastic and snotty look. Somewhere between the touchdowns and the tackles, they also learn about clotted cream and its mysterious unclotting powers. Come early, be loud, and stay late through this wild ride of music and football, with just enough chaos to make it feel like overtime.   Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist MC Paul Barman - Paulejulah - Spotify Official Site Listener Listens - Run the Jewels - Instagram
