You're not gonna beleive this...well...maybe you will. Russ Rankin, who we have been talking about every week since January, hung out with us for almost an hour and a half! There is a lot of stories about the early days of Good Riddance, what it's like to be in a band with a Flyers fan, what it's like to get called up to sing for your favourite band and who does Russ prefer, LIfetime or Kid Dynamite. There is a lot here. Thanks again to Russ for joining us.

Choices Made (the band)- 2:00Choices Made (the song)- 16:10 (with Steve and Andrew)Reason for Conflict by Choices Made- 20:15Choices Made (Dan and Josh)- 22:15Pisces/Almost Home- 28:10Great Experiment- 38:50Video for Reason for ConflictBuy the new Choices Made 7"This week we got to hang with some new pals that hopefully we can see play live soon. Also this far into the project you would think Josh could guess what Dan will think of specific songs and you would think that Dan would pick better games. But mostly, you should buy the Choices Made 7".
Outlaw- 6:45Defusing The Popular Struggle- 20:45Lame Duck Arsenal- 30:20This week we dive into how hard it is to listen to every punk record that came out before 1983, we skip the synopsis of European Vacation and our favourite Nofx records. You know, among other things.
Queen and John- 7:25Holding On- 22:15Cheyenne- 34:35This week is a real emotional rollercoaster with lots of personal connections to the songs covered this week. Mostly though, Josh is excited that his copy of A Comprehensive Guide To Moderne Rebellion is in the mail and Dan heart is swelling with love from one of our listeners.
Come Dancing- 11:55Waste- 23:15Regret- 44:35Josh from The FAMILY Cast shows up around 24:05All fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs can direct their anger at Dan, josh is staying out of this one. Some Almonte, Ontario trivia. Josh manages to shit talk The Kinks, Echo & The Bunnymen and Dead Prez. It's called "punching up".The FAMILY CastPatreonPlaylist
This week the bozos talk about one of the shortest Good Riddance songs, a serious side one track one and a math anomaly. They are joined by two experts on the life and career of Martin Luther King Junior, so we hope that you are ready for a lesson. Gomo George shows up around 16:15 and Ariel Lawrence comes in at 29:20. Also, Dan ate some discount sushi so wasn't altogether himself this week.Overcoming Learned Behaviour- 4:44Shadows of Defeat- 14:55 (then the two guest spots, discussion of the song starts at 1:15:05)Year Zero- 1:24:05Four LIttle GirlsKing In The WildernessNobel Prize SiteDavid L Lewis- King
Do you even remember when you first sold out? This week Josh and Dan talk about the ampersandless Torches and Tragedies, the shockingly good Thinking To Myself and 30 Day Wonder. Plus a borderline therapy session and a summary of a Francis Ford Coppola movie. We promise that Josh has an actual microphone, his computer just decided to be uncooperative.

Up & Away- 3:20Not So Bad- 11:30This Beast Is Dangerous- 23:50This week the bozos talk about the songs listed in the title. Also, which character from the Lion King would Russ Rankin be? And Dan has a favourite Good Riddance album. It only took him 19 episodes to get sorted.
This week Dan and Josh talk about the songs Twelve Year Circus and Boys and Girls from For God and Country as well as Stand from Physical Fatness. Dan talks about his first discman, which was purchased entirely with Canadian Tire Money. Josh pretends to know anything at all about playing guitar.Twelve Year Circus- 7:20Stand- 20:10Boys and Girls- 30:05Patreon
This week Dan and Josh are joined by PodPal Greg Soden. Between the songs Tempest Tossed and Dry Season, Greg and the bozos (???) go deep on potential meanings behind the song Texas. Also, is Dan a narc? Should we make a recipe book? What did Josh do for his 33rd Birthday?Benefit for the World Food ProgramUnscripted Moments: a Podcast About PropagandhiPatreon
