SHOW NOTES Kevin Heider gives a wonderful exploration as a singer/songwriter of the balance between objective and subjective meanings of songs and movies. He talks how Everclear's "So Much for the Afterglow" deeply moved him as an 8th grader to hear about the terribleness of the songwriter's father. Luke talks about how his view of rap changed after VH1's "Behind the Music" with Ice T. Luke also mentions making a vinyl album on a mythical Catching Foxes label, which I'M ALL FOR.
Well, we made it. Episode 100. An epic journey culminating in an epic show. Yea us! Yep, this one's a long one, filled to the brim with hearty conversation. And while we do what we normally do, including covering two massive releases, Princes of the Renaissance and A Feast for Odin, we do take a few moments toward the end to acknowledge the milestone and heap some praise on ourselves (I mean, someone's gotta do it). Thanks to everyone who listens because you're the people who really got us here. In other words, it's your fault. Seriously, thank you all for tuning in. We really dig this show, and we hope it makes your day when it lands in whatever podcast app you use.

Groophic and the GhostSome BODY once told us that Season 11's Behind the Laughter would be a great episode for Worst Episode Ever... so we watched it! Yes this extended parody of VH1's "Behind the Music" first aired 15 years ago (and slightly more than 15 years since Dan & Jack went to go see the Norm MacDonald bomb Screwed). It's basically a mockumentary looking at an alternate reality Simpsons family, and it's one of the least confusing things going on in today's episode. Would this have worked as a series finale for "The Simpsons?" Do people today even remember "Behind the Music?" (Does it matter for enjoying this episode?) And was this a record for how quickly the show fell apart? Plus, Groophic makes a new friend, the ghost of a child that Jack murdered who may or may not be real.
