Episode 29: Blacking Out I’ve been a little stressed lately. Okay, very. Some people compensate with Alcohol (not this week’s song). Sometimes they compensate too much and Black Out. But we don’t do that anymore. So instead we’ll discuss BNL’s song “Blacking Out”. We are missing Aaron, who is busy doing Time Travel. He stole the TARDIS, but we get
Episode 28: Big Bang Theory Theme My whole universe doesn’t revolve around the Ladies, but they are like the Sun. And tonight we explore an essential song in their catalogue.

Episode 26: Beautiful What can I say about this week’s episode? It is pretty superficial at first but then it gets deep when we really delve into it.

Episode 24: Bank Job Tonight we mug for the camera on a podcast while we discuss a bank job gone wrong. What would stop each of us if we committed a bank job? And like the bank robbers in the song, there is dissention in the ranks as we rank this song. Bank Job on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8dMIzfp8HM
Tonight’s song is not a song, but a Ballad. No, it’s not the Ballad of Plain D by Gordon Lightfoot. It’s not the Ballad of John and Yoko (but stick around for Beatles galore in two weeks).
