A movie franchise that begins with bandits robbing DVD players off of trucks. Is this woke or racist? Vin Diesel isn't in the business of making sequels. Taking it to Miami. The power of nitrous in this universe. And now we're in Japan? Giles pitches his the 4th Fast and the Furious movie should have been the actual third one to end the trilogy theory. Viagra at the box office always wears a tactical vest. Vin Diesel has a clause where he can never lose a fight in a movie. Its totally cool to drive a bank vault through Brazil. Ludacris went from small business owner in Miami to master level hacker. We're now beyond drug cartels and into cyber terrorism. Your host likes movies where one big car fights a bunch of small cars. Jason Statham is here now. Paul Walker is alive in canon. We're now parachuting cars out of planes. A white lady with cornrows. Punching torpedoes. The Rock and Diesel have beef? Idris Elba is a super human? Tyrese and Ludacris go to space. White dudes with muscles can be brothers. Two white guys argue about the new Roadhouse. A two part sequel Harry Potter style. Jason Momoa's “overacting”. The Fast and the Furious universe.

Hey Listener, put on a black t-shirt and ask your mom if you can listen to this podcast while she drives you to the show because today we're talking with stand up comedian Giles Chickering from Hambone and the Guy/Zorse Industries about punk, emo, and metalcore from the early to mid 2000s. It's an interesting conversation as we talk about being 10 years apart in age and how that affected the way we discovered bands, what bands we liked from the same time period, and where we don't overlap musically. Topics this week include: The Adventures of Hambone and The Guy. The Fast and the Furious franchise is Giles' Star Wars. Shout out to Uncle Norm for those Beavis and Butthead VHS tapes. The internet, a Blackberry, a girlfriend, a driver's license, and  a car aka the entire world has changed. FUSE: shaping a teenage boy's musical tastes. “My mom has seen Underoath 4 times”. Manually inputting album tracks to your desktop computer. An unplanned dive into Pauly Shore films. Warped Tours of yore. Giles is worried about how socially irresponsible $uicide Boy$ are for the youth of America. Viewing the Black Parade as a boy and as a man. Ticketmaster is pure evil and you're going to pay for it. The band that opened for Idles sucks (Injury Reserve). Being the old guy in the back of the room in a BANE hoodie. How have the Red Hot Chili Peppers not been canceled? Blink 182 and bands that are adjacent. We love concept albums. Standing at the barrier for Puddle of Mud in 2022. Davey Havok's sexuality and getting his arms blacked out. Thursday, an introduction to Post-Hardcore. Giles Hearts Haley. Forever Taking Back Sunday. Not old and white trash enough for Hatebreed. Every Time I Die: The best at being a band until they weren't. If a concert looks like a prison riot, then it's a good band. Tricked by Christians. Coping with the pandemic via nostalgia. The era of cookie cutter venues. Riot Fest was made for Giles and fat guys in the Midwest that wear black t-shirts and drink beer (me).
