After losing a two hour plus podcast, The boys lick their wounds and try out a quick episode format the came up with called "Six Pack & A Sitcom". Choose one Six Pack of Beer (this episode's was Madtree's Coffee Table Blonde Ale w/ Coffee & Lactose and Pabst Blue Ribbon) and pair it with an episode of a Sitcom (situational Comedy).  This episode we picked Season 7, Episode 9 of Roseanne.  The episode is titled "White Men Can't Kiss".  This is the episode where Roseanne & Dan's son, Dj, refuses to kiss a girl in the school play because of the color of her skin. There's a lot to unpack and discuss as this episode of the series could very well be filed under "A Very Special Episode".  Also in this episode we play "Burnt Out N Down" off of Fort Wayne, Indiana pop punkers, Flamingo Nosebleed's new album, Degenerate Pop.

Episode Six Six Six. I kid. But this episode deals with a fun topic if you grew up in the 80's, Slasher Horror! Freddy, Jason, Michael.  All iconic boogeymen that were designed to babysitters in line, kids up late at night, and fear what could be lurking in the dark.  A little scare never hurt nobody and was big business in the early 80's.  Atom and Jake talk with Alex Ball, of The Losers Club, & Dylan Leininger, formally of the band Dethrats, about their love of the slasher horror genre, we discuss everyone's favorite slashers, and even find time to take many beer and bathroom breaks.   Due to a malfunction, we lost the first 12 minutes of the show.  It sucked a great deal and was the first time we've experienced it here at 12FU. But the show goes on and thank you goes out to the special last minute talking heads that helped Atom with the intro.

Also the debut of Jake's son, Jackson Roose!

Episode IV: A New Hope... errrrr...  COVERS! This episode we talk about the act of playing another artist's song or known in the music world as a "cover" song.  Cover songs are done because the original moved you to the point that you want to play it as tribute, because you think itd be a cool song to do, or impress this cute dude/lady with the piercings. Atom and Jake count down their UNDENIABLY GREAT covers and talk about ones that they personally love.  Also in the episode we talk to Tyler Mayer of Splitt Second and Stupid Rad Merch Co badass, Simeon Meyer.

Episode 3!  Each episode is a milestone in our world! This episode we talk to fellow northwest ohioian, Ian Yaichner.
