We're back f**kers! Did you miss us? Probably not, but here we are returning for a 3rd season! In the first episode of 2023 we discuss a plethora of nonsense that is typical of us- how it's weird that it's 2023, how we are the same age as many TV sitcom dads, being old enough to be grandfathers, hopes and dreams and plans for the year, the normal poop conversation, and tons more! It's all what you've come to expect and enjoy from XF! So enjoy you heathens! *** (end song: Velma Punch - “Bomb (in Your Head)”) ***

Enjoy this Thankful episode of XF!

In this episode Sam and Jonny talk about nostalgia acts in music and when do they start, and dressing for comfort. So the title of the episode is pretty self-explanatory. Yeah, I know. We're dumb. But enjoy cuz it's fun! Maybe. *** (songs included in this episode: Blink 182 - “Edging.” Why you ask? Cuz we're assholes. Enjoy.)***

Continuation of the last episode, this time discussing details of the failed TIJAP episode, more horror movie talk, thoughts on ICP, Juggalos and Juggalettes, ugly names for men, endless self-promotion, and whatever else we felt like tickling our fancy. Just 2 best friends talking nonsense for another hour and a half, how can you not be excited for that? Are you even human? Do you not have feelings? Do you not have humor? Buckle up and beware, Xennial Files is back baby! Part 2 of 2. *** [end song is The Shanks - “The Government is Watching Me” and is shameless self-promotion. Used w/ permission of XF. So suck it.] ***

Sam and Jon are back with more inane conversations about various and pointless topics such as bullshitting about Mom's Basement Fest that took place in Jon's new home- Youngstown, OH, Jon's upcoming label showcase show, more poop dejour and self-pleasure talk, Sam's mail debacle, and some Halloween and movie talk. Part 1 of 2. *** [end song is The Shanks - “She's a Riot” and is shameless self-promotion. Used w/ permission of XF. So suck it.] ***

Have ever wondered what it was like to hear a conversation w/ friends and all the mundane and boring shit that they talk about? Well, look no further than this episode! We talk shit about the backwards town Sam and Jon lived and met in, and the all important differences between a Cape Cod style house vs. bungalows in the special segment entitled “House Styles.” But, don't fret, cuz we also get down to the nitty gritty with our favorite movies and television shows of the 80s and 90s. This is a feel good episode for the whole family! *(Song used w/ permission from us)*

On this episode Sam and Jonny do things on the fly and discuss the latter's upcoming move, as well as talk about the politics of bands like Anti-Flag, Green Day, and NOFX, Jonny feeling like he's in an abusive relationship w/ Weezer, dissecting the FXX mini-series Pistol, getting bastardized on Facebook groups, more selfless self-promotional, more poop talk, and so much more. *** (songs featured are: The Radio Buzzkills - “Moving Out,” John Denver's Body Double - “Number 17,” Sex Pistols - “Bodies,” and The Skluttz - “Church and State.”)***

It's wholesome fun for the whole dysfunctional family! *** (songs used in this episode: The Bittering Hops - “I Don't Know What I Like” {found on the newly released Ramonescore Brigade Volume II,} Johnie3 - “Alyssa Milano,” Proton Packs - “Continuum,” and The Feels - “She's Probably Not Thinkin' of Me.)

In this episode we go back to our usual format of being absolutely insane and we tackle topics such as movie/TV reboots, rating systems for movies, more conversation about porn, Jon's lack of witty surnames recently, trying different ideas moving forward, a new hip hop name for one of us, and a joke by Jon so bad that he couldn't repeat it on air. Sit back and enjoy the asinine humor on Xennial Files! *** (songs included are The Radio Buzzkills - “Figure Skate or Die” and The Runs - “This is Why People Don't Like You.” Used w/ permission.) ***

Sam and Jon's continuation of their conversation about Cleveland's venue Now That's Class that has closed but is reopening under the name No Class. They also talk about dumb stuff as usual, so don't you worry your pretty little head! Sam plays more music and Jon offers up his opinion about the Cleveland scene from an outsider's perspective. This is another fun episode so hope you enjoy! Or don't, we don't care.

Along w/ technical problems, Xennial Files return w/ Sam Sinister and Jonny the Disco King. The two pay homage to longtime Cleveland venue, Now That's Class, which will be closing, along w/ some history and playing of some bands that have been featured there. They also tackle the Devolution of Devo, how Sam likes to do bad things to Sims, how Jonny got his surname for this episode, the typical poop conversation, and so much more. So tune in and be mildly entertained w/ Xennial Files! *(ending track: “Cleveland's Gotta Burn” by Jacknife Powerbombs)*

On this episode Samuel De La Sinister and Jonny Yuletide talk about a plethora of subject ranging from staying 40 forever, our love of Moira Rose, why Jon doesn't drink alcohol much, our favorite Christmas movies, and Sam revisiting Snoop Dogg's “Doggystyle.” We also chat about saying words wrong, why Jon doesn't consider nu-metal a dirty word, 80s hip hop and pop connection of Salt ‘N Peppa and Kid ‘N Play, and so much more. *** (music provided in this episode include: Gatlin - “Let Go,” Modern Angst - “Mass Hysteria,” One if By Land - “True Blue, Through, and Everything About You,” RATH and the Wise Guys - “21 Years,” and a 90s throwback track for you all to enjoy!)

We also chat about Jon and his wife's ordeal with their hotel room, and other stuff that chapped his ass. It was a fun trip that was almost 2 years in the making, enjoy us reminiscing! *** featured song: Dave Rocket and the Jobbers - “Hey Yo!” (used w/ permission from Faster and Louder Records) ***

Sam and Jon use this episode as a way to pregame for a visit by the latter up to Cleveland over the weekend, after almost two years of not seeing one another. And boy do they use that time wisely: going through Facebook Event pages for the local shows, complaining about non-syncing traffic, how our last episode literally made Sam's fiancé gag, what's up with that shitty commercial featuring Alexis from Schitt's Creek, an invasion of Finches, and so much more. (There's some sound glitches towards the end of the episode, but ya know, it be like that sometimes!) *** Also this episode features kickass music from Cleveland's own Jacknife Powerbombs and Hellaphant, an awesome Toronto, Canada punk rock band. Enjoy the soothing sounds folks! ***

On this episode Sam and Jon get into the holiday spirit and discuss scary topics like shitting oneself and the mystery of ghost poops, watching horror movies, how Jon is the fat one now, the always fun pandemic talk, a particular Nickelodeon game show, how we continue to lose focus, and much, more more. *** featured track is Children of October - “Zodiac” ***

The dynamic duo are back and this time they are double the Italian! On this episode they talk about how used cars aren't cheap anymore, Sam lying about his weight on his License, is all pasta just pasta or is it all macaroni, masturbation as usual, how woke people want to bitch about 90s TV shows, and so much more. *** song at the end of episode is Dead City Dealers - “(She's A) Zombie” • used with permission by Sam himself. ***

This episode has zero focus. We bounce around various topics, many of them never get finished, and talk about things such as mishearing lyrics, Sam trying to start a Nintendo club as a kid, reading shampoo bottles while pooping, and clicking mislabeled porn and getting an eyeful of things we weren't ready to see, a lot of call backs to past episodes, and so much more. *closing track is On the Hiding to Nothing's “Don't Make Eye Contact,” courtesy of Cat's Claw Records and Tapes.*

Hmm… what to say about this episode? Well, it's different but the same. In by the same I mean it still has our dumb humor and insane riffing, and we do stumble across some nostalgic stuff like Seinfeld, Lost, and other things, but it's different in the fact that there are parts that have a more personal overtone. It's also a longer episode, but hey, it was a month in the making so shut up about it! We also chat about funny mobster names, how my wife still uses Yahoo! News, and so much more… you know you missed us! *(closing track: The Grandprixx - “Fingered Ghost,” taken from the Transylvania Style Punk Comp.)*

Sam and Jonny Tater Tots are at it again with another episode. This time they tackle AOL internet discs, their love of record stores, Jon's affinity for thick corduroy and pajama pants, ripping off the CD music clubs and feeling no remorse, what lurks in Sam's underwear drawer, and so much more. Be prepared for more of the same from the dynamic duo on the Xennial Files.

Two best friends talk about what an Xennial is and chat about some key points of what it means to be one. We also discuss our first time getting the internet as teenagers, what a CD is, the dreadful second X-Files movie, and much, much more. Be prepared for dumb humor, a lot of f-bombs, and plenty of riffing between hosts Sam Sinister and Jonny Funbags.
