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
