Frizz and Bob take a big-picture dive into Pop: Then and Now. Naturally, Bob pours some Old Grand-Dad Bonded, and Frizz downs a new glass of Johnnie Walker Black Ruby, as they unfold how we got from troubadours and Tin Pan Alley to MTV idols, Max Martin machines, and TikTok-engineered hooks for the FYP. They trace pop's constant reinvention through technology, Black innovation, and generational shifts, while taking a look at Sabrina Carpenter's new-stalgia, Taylor "Showgirl" Swift, and the way virality now shapes what's considered "success." It's a fast tour through pop's past, its present chaos, and a game so hard... you'd wish you wrote a whole song about it.

Friendship Commanders, BEAR
Frizz and Bob raise a mug of coffee and sit down with Nashville duo Friendship Commanders, a band that makes heaviness sing and melody hit like a hammer. Buick Audra and Jerry Roe join in to talk about their new album BEAR (out NOW on Magnetic Eye Records) - a powerful, soul-baring journey through belonging, identity, and resilience that bridges hyper-melodic light and crushing weight. We dive into what makes this album shine through the darkness, classic horror films as creative fuel, Gen X culture and disillusionment, sludgegaze, and the lasting influence of Steve Albini.

Jeff Buckley, Grace
*]:pointer-events-auto [content-visibility:auto] supports-[content-visibility:auto]:[contain-intrinsic-size:auto_100lvh] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" tabindex="-1" data-turn-id= "request-68b6258f-2cd4-832d-9ed8-e1eb4005d270-4" data-testid= "conversation-turn-162" data-scroll-anchor="true" data-turn= "assistant"> Frizz and Bob raise a glass as they take on the impossible beauty and chaos of Grace — the only album Jeff Buckley ever released, and one of the most beloved cult records of the last 30 years. Frizz is sipping Talisker Distiller's Edition, Bob's pouring Mellow Corn, and together they trace Buckley's story from café corners and strange gigs to record deals, mythmaking, and tragedy. It's a journey of genius and self-destruction, mothers and muses, church organs and Led Zeppelin, and far too many moments where Frizz almost dry-heaves from various things. Why not make it a drinking game? This is Jeff Buckley at his most divine, doomed, and dazzling — proof that one album really can feel eternal.

Howling Giant, Crucible and Ruin
This week, we reunite with our good friends and favorite riff-summoning adventurers, Howling Giant- the Nashville-based doom lords blending sludge, prog, psych, and sci-fi into some of the most mind-melting metal you'll ever hear. They're back on the show and ready to unleash their most massive and mind-bending record yet - available October 31st! With Frizz sipping a special-edition bottle of Woodford Reserve and Bob going full Kentucky Gentleman, we dive headfirst into Crucible and Ruin, an album that plays like a campaign through storm-forged planets, endless archives of worlds and legends, and battles waged with both scepters and scythes. We talk about their new dual guitar attack, cosmic world building, how their sound just keeps getting bigger, and why this October 31st release is going to shake the doom-metal cosmos. Strap in and roll for an exclusive first listen, while we confirm once and for all: yes, this album rips. And yes, your ass is grass.

Music Conspiracy Theories
Frizz and Bob are cracking open the crypt of music's strangest rumors, shadowy whispers, and full-blown tinfoil-hat territory. Frizz is sipping Ardbeg's Wee Beastie, Bob's got a Dark Apparition Stout from Jackie O's, and we're diving headfirst into the world of music conspiracy theories. From lizard people and faked deaths to government psyops and murder plots hiding in plain sight, we're peeling back the layers of the weirdest stories the music world has to offer. Did Jim Morrison escape to Africa? Was Laurel Canyon a CIA experiment? Does Garth Brooks have friends in low places? Stories so creepy that even Stephen King couldn't have written them... or did he? Lock the doors, dim the lights, and pour a strong one because things are about to get weird.
Frizz and Bob bring you a boozy podcast about all the untold stories behind your favorite music and the artists behind them... while drinking whiskey so you don't have to. Cheers!
