Ice Cube: Amerikkka’s Most Wanted (1990) Ep. 187

This week we're going up high! And down hard! With the high hard one and the best podcast about Ice Cube and the 187th greatest album of all time, AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted.

 

But before we get to the music all of our Apple Maps enthusiasts will be taken on a detour for our discussion of open-toed shoes, stolen cars mats, and scrambled cable TV. We also celebrate the new Pearl Jam and Vampire Weekend albums and become the best NFL Draft podcast when we draft the best charcuterie ingredients. 

 

Then at (1:13:00) we turn off the radio and discuss Ice Cube's debut studio album, AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted. We chat about old-school rhyme schemes, The Bomb Squad production, and BIG3 Basketball. 

 

Next week we'll bang the gong and get it on when we become the best T. Rex podcast and break down the 1971 glam rock album, Electric Warrior. 

 

 

Red Hot Chili Peppers: Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991) Ep. 186

If you have $7,500 lying around you could give it away or you could buy an Eames chair and listen to the best mid-century modern podcast about the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the 187th greatest album of all time, Blood Sugar Sex Magik.

 

But before we get to the album we take a trip to the Mustang Ranch where you might get to hear about Bruce Springsteen in concert, yoga dehydration, and first class flight etiquette.

 

Then at (1:08:00) we go under the bridge to talk about Blood Sugar Sex Magik from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. We discuss the band's cross-genre influences, nonsense lyrics, and the best hard rock performances from 1993.

 

Next week you should turn off the radio and join us for the best Ice Cube podcast when we cover his debut studio album AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted.

The Rolling Stones: Beggar’s Banquet (1968) Ep. 185

Guys. This week "Russ misunderstood" what was going on and he made Rob edit this episode all by himself. I tried to say no but Russ just put on his sunglasses and stared. 

 

So here is the Show in a Connections type game. Try to guess what section of the show each is from. 

 

 

That Sub that got Crushed.	Sid Bream	A dominatrix	Sex with a Football Coach
Men's Rights	Aaron says you should go with your wife to get your hair done.	Rob's Fast Bat Racing League	Leather Mask
"What album is this?"	Aaron Drove!	Nascar Driver	A detailed history of the album
Woke Mind Virus	Captain Phillips	Subtitles	Sully Sullenburger

The Bits that Inspired the Hits. Ep. 185

We are busy so I put together a "best of" bits that lead into my favorite parody songs. 

 

I was trying to find the bit where Aaron admitted early on that he loved feet because it inspired a million songs but I couldn't find it. Oh well.

Cyndi Lauper: She’s So Unusual (1983) Ep. 184

They say if you listen to this podcast you might go blind. But if you can't stop messin' with the danger zone then welcome to the best podcast about Cyndi Lauper and the 184th greatest album of all time, She's So Unusual.

 

But before we get to the music your four favorite therapeutic tools provide some curmudgeonly commentary on adult pick-up basketball, thermostat control, and bar hopping in Ft. Lauderdale on spring break. We also go the distance on polyamorous opportunities, bumping and grinding, and other glorious topics.  

 

Then at (1:06:00) we bop with the original quirky singer, Cyndi Lauper, and her debut studio album She's So Unusual. We discuss Cyndi Lauper's place in 80's pop culture, the Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection, and the best songs featuring the melodica.

 

Next week we have no expectations that we will become the best Rolling Stones podcast when we cover their 1968 roots rock album, Beggars Banquet.
