Beatles × Blur × Talking Heads: The Alignment Chart Episode Sep 23, 2025

Show notes

Jonathan and James ditch the usual lists and build a three-band alignment chart: which Beatles tracks feel most Beatles, Blur, or Talking Heads—and vice versa. Expect spicy picks (from “A Day in the Life” to “Once in a Lifetime”), friendly slander, and a tour of deep cuts like “Strange News from Another Star.” Video version on Patreon for the visuals.

What Team Will The Chiefs Lose To? Aug 28, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Cody and I get into all the hype (and anxiety) heading into the season—what the Chiefs did in the offseason, how we think this year plays out, and which player moves actually matter. We talk through the Micah Parsons trade and how it could shift things, what the Chiefs' offense might look like early, and who’s most likely to break out. Plus, we call out the inevitable overreactions from fans and analysts once the Chiefs face some real competition.
