Back To Good. Because sometimes it gets away from us.
In our season 2 finale, we give updates on Changs affliction with pointy objects, talk about scary times in the elevator, if super moons are real, Tyler's favorite swing dancing story, and the legendary Almond Roca story. Thank you all for listening this season and we look forward to seeing what season 3 brings! As always, we have a smackin outro song selected. Stay safe everyone! See you in Season 3!!!
In this high octane, music focused episode, we once again deep dive six songs that each fit two categories - "corny but also good". Songs that have reached such a level of fame that they can no longer be taken seriously, while at the same time being ABSOLUTE CLASSICS. The rules are simple but the stakes have never been higher.
We continue our deep diving video game discussion but hone on one franchise in particular! Zelda. Zelda! Zelda! Zelda! Each of us rank our top 3 games in the franchise and discuss why we think Zach's top 3 picks are so divisive. Things get dicey when Chang describes his troubled relationship with Majora's Mask, Zach explains about why he prefers 2D Zelda significantly and what went wrong with Ocarina Of Time. As always, the outro music is very good. https://howdyriceball.itch.io/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5rAjOjTGtc https://www.instagram.com/backtogoodpodcast/?hl=en
The second episode of the "The Lost Tapes" series from Back To Good. In these episodes you will hear pop culture references that no longer matter, opinions that have aged like fine wine and unheard stories/interviews from the Back To Good archives. In the first of this two part episode, we discuss the absolutely strange appearance of famous Guns'N'Roses guitarist "Slash" and his possible family connection to one of our very own podcast hosts, our opinions on hard seltzer, our infamous first episode, whether or not we should discuss photos on an audio-only podcast, and we invite Back To Good alumnist Zach Garland to discuss his video game currently in development "Fetch Quest" and the video games that shaped our childhood.

The first of 3 episodes in "The Lost Tapes" series from Back To Good. In these episodes you will hear pop culture references that no longer matter, opinions that have aged like fine wine and unheard stories from the Back To Good archives. In this first episode of the series we talk frustration with people not knowing how to order food, shrimp tails in cereal bowls, our many many shady deals on OfferUp, losing our parents car at the county fair, and Changs ordeal at the community bathroom.
In this mostly chilled out episode we discuss Chang's lifelong struggle with pointy objects, including a pivotal story in Back To Good lore which takes place in New Yorks very own Metropolitan Museum of Art. We also dial up our mutual friend Darryl Stewart. Darryl is easily the chillest guy on Planet Earth and handsomest man in the cursed city of Detroit. We chat about our first impressions of each other, the honor of being yelled at by Darryl, video game tournaments and other crazy times from when we lived in NY.
In our heftiest episode to date, the boys talk smash burgers, Gamestop stock-market shares, under rated 00's bands, dashboard confessional and we critique outfits by male influencers that you've undoubtedly seen on your Instagram timeline. We're also joined by another long time friend - Dustin Martinez/Justin Rodriguez who relates fond memories of getting sick from food challenges, trust-fall shenanigans, and a near death experience he shared with our very own Tyler Dominguez. https://www.instagram.com/p/CN2Ih23DQ5v/?igshid=j6oilqlr5obx
In this much anticipated episode, the boys (regrettably) start off with an on air "taste test" of the infamous Steel Reserve high gravity beer. During this chaos, we discuss who makes the best chicken sandwich, who makes the best fries, and who is ultimately the #1 fast food establishment. We dial up an old friend - Wesley Villalobos - to weigh in on these heavy topics. Wesley is one of Taylor's oldest friends, weekly patron of Wendy's and owner of the revered fashion line Locvls Only.
To appease the masses, Back To Good has returned. In this episode the boys catch up and lay the groundwork for another world shaking season. To kick off our next batch of episodes we'll be diving into six songs that are deeply entrenched in our culture. Each host has selected two songs that meet a certain criteria: corny but also good. Songs that have reached such a level of fame that they can no longer be taken seriously, while at the same time being considered absolute classics. We also upgraded Chang's microphone so that you dont have to listen to his nose whistles anymore. In preparation for this episode Taylor created a playlist of 20+ songs that fit this genre: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/corny-but-good/pl.u-KVXBBK3IZvLlBqG
*SPOILER WARNING* In our epic season one finale, we discuss the recent season finale of The Mandalorian - a relatively popular show that hasn't achieved quite as much fame as our own. We phone revered Star Wars super nerd Kevin Jones to analyze and speculate what's next for the armored nomad. We also discuss how Chang has no memory of Ferris Buellers Day Off, the mythos of Steve Harvey, inventive face masks, whether we can grow mustaches.

Back To Good brings the heat once again with a heavy nostalgia episode. In this episode we ask ominous questions such as “Does Curious George have a tail?”, “Can sleeping with a fan on cause death?” and "Do moths cause blindness???” With a special guest appearance by none other than the King Catcher himself Zachary Garland. We travel back in time to just outside Detroit in the early 90's with stories of legendary Pokemon, chipmunk holes and bowl cuts.

Back To Good returns with a bonus episode! Easily our most whacky and chaotic show to date. The hosts discuss the problem with Chang's esophagus, our issues with the Rolling Stones Top 500 Albums list, and a handful of cringey stories about the New York City subway and the ever failing McDonalds organization. Consider this episode a “deleted scene” in our discography.
Back To Good returns after an infamous pilot episode. In this session we discuss the validity of Spongebob's fourth season, the woes of our aging bodies, and the possibility of a live-action Spider-verse movie. In a new segment of the show, we phone a friend and reminisce about the time we regretfully borrowed a friends car. Bryce is a former coworker and close personal friend of podcast hosts Taylor, Tyler and Chang. About eight minutes into the podcast, we describe two photos which can be seen at the link below: https://www.instagram.com/p/CGzkd4KjzUE/?igshid=4gqj9os5tkxi
In our debut episode we discuss how the Goo Goo Dolls transitioned genres, the hit Disney movie Treasure Planet and how Chang (a grown adult) ran out of gas recently.
