"Rock and Roll is Bitchin'"
A Reel Big Fish cover, but this time it's slower than the original. This week Danny Smyth (Abortion Twins, Over Wait Mammal) joins Gary, Matt, and Anthony as we discuss the Social Distortion song "Story of My Life" as covered by Reel Big Fish on the 2005 album We're Not Happy Until You're Not Happy.
You ever see someone at a show and you desperately wanted connect with them--or maybe only did briefly but were left longing? Yeah, me too. Why didn't you make your move? Were you worried about saying something stupid? Nah--just go for it! Getting shot down is part of life. Speaking of down, we're down to just the three hosts as we discuss "Alternative, Baby" from the 1996 album Turn the Radio Off.
We all have expectations of ourselves and sometimes we have expectations for others lives as well, but what we really hate is when others have expectations for our lives. I don't want to live your dream, dude--back off! And speaking of dreams; Gary, Matt, and Anthony discuss "Live Your Dream" by Reel Big Fish from the album Monkeys for Nothin' and the Chimps for Free.
Life sucks, what's new? We all feel this way sometimes. Sometimes you just gotta cheer up and keep moving. Matt Sullivan joins Gary, Matt, and Anthony to discuss the song "Cheer Up" form the album Cheer Up! (2002).
Chill out and take a break. Chill out for goodness sake! It's time we pull it back a notch and slow down. We're joined by Matt from Title Holder to talk about "Slow Down" from the 2007 album Monkeys for Nothin' and the Chimps for Free.
Someday these will be the good old days. You may not know it know, but it's all downhill from here. Every second you're alive is one second closer you are to death, right? Too grim? Well don't worry, this episode is a lighthearted romp featuring Derek Gibbs (Reel Big Fish) as he joins Gary, Matt, and Anthony to talk about the Reel Big Fish cover of The Forces of Evil song "The Good Old Days" from the 2018 album Life Sucks... Let's Dance.
Toxics relationships in practice: not fun. Toxic relationships as told by a Reel Big Fish song: fun. This week we're joined by Reel Big Fish bassist Derek and guest vocalist Julie to talk about the song "I Know You To Well To Like You Anymore" from the 2012 album Candy Coated Fury.
Coolie Ranx! He features on a few Reel Big Fish songs, but there's one song in particular--Song #3 where Coolie takes the lead and who better to speak on the song than the man himself? Coolie joins Gary, Matt, and Anthony to talk about how his involvement in Song #3 from the 1998 album Why Do They Rock So Hard? came about as we analyze the song together.
Authority. What do we know about it? We know it should always be questioned, but we know it always wins--at least according to John Cougar Mellencamp. Speaking of the Coog--Gary, Anthony, Matt, and Vince Walker from Suburban Legends discuss "Authority Song" off of the 2009 covers album Fame, Fortune and Fornication.
It took 59 episodes, but we're finally covering our namesake song! Join Gary, Matt, and Anthony as we discuss "Everything Sucks," which contrary to what some may believe, first appeared on the 1996 album Turn the Radio Off and not on the 1995 album Everything Sucks.
Feel stretched thin? Us too. Sometimes life pulls you in all sorts of directions and you feel like you're living for everyone and everything but yourself. This week we have a host-only episode with Gary, Anthony, and Matt as we discuss "You Can't Have All of Me" form the 2018 album Life Sucks... Let's Dance!
