The Rams won the Super Bowl, but everyone is still asking, “who won the Super Bowl of Emo???” And dont worry, we finally have an answer. EP 55 drops tomorrow and you’ll get to see Ian get progressively more and more drunk since this was a Friday night record session while we figure out what is truly the best emo record of all time.

SEASON 2 IS HERE! Exciting right? We set this up like 2 episodes ago where Ian and I came up with the 32 best records to represent Emo best to us, then we randomly seeded them into a 32 team bracket and the tournament began. We have spent the last 2 weeks listening to these damn records so now its time to talk about what's good and what sucks. To break any ties we brought in our first returning guest, Joey from Kirby Grip!

One full ass year into the pod, how wacky is that? So to celebrate we picked an all time big philosophical question, is Minecraft punk? While recording Ian forgot to make a really salient point that he texted me right after we recorded so check him out being not dumb below.
"I forgot to mention the philosophical beauty of Minecraft because I was in dumb guy character, but the whole game is a metaphor for life and existentialism. How life is inherently meaningless, but thrown into a game with no meaning, people find activities and meanings or construct their own." Sounds like dude has been watching the HORSE the band Earth Tour DVD again amiright or amiright?

We back on our fucking bullshit fam. Back to the 2 hour + episodes like we should have always been. Honestly, a podcast is only good if its like 3+ hours so we are on our way back to glory. Anyway, Ian and I both love emo and wanted to talk about it so here we are. We are going to once and for all answer the question, what is the best emo band of all time as of right now according to two idiots who barely know anything. Prior to this ep we made a list of like 70 bands and you'll hear us get down to a tight 32. We are gonna spend the next couple weeks pretty much exclusively listening to these bands and pt. 2 will be us getting down to the top 16. See you then dorks.

We had planned originally to put this one on youtube and so theres a couple visual things on this one but then we decided not to. These things happen, and they are forgivable. But the music put out by MC Lars and his nerdcord contemporaries is not as forgivable.

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN! We finally got our shit together so we could record together again. The holidays and Ian being hit by a car really messed things up, but we are back. And this week we are going over our AOTY lists. And like right after recording (and also mid record) we both realized we forgot a lot of stuff. But hey...bad brains what can ya do? So enjoy and hopefully you'll find some new bands to check out?

Are gamers punk? Is it punk to game? Is it more punk to play games on a PC or a console? Is nintendo more punk than sega? Who knows. This week I (Connor) kinda talk about that stuff but really I just talked about Call of Duty. Probably one of the worst things to happen to the human race. I honestly feel like that is a fair argument you can make. I don't even like COD that much but I havn't been able to stop playing it for like a decade. Could that be my addictive personality at work??? Who knows! Anyways, enjoy this solo ep as Ian's dumb broken knee and the holidays fuck us up once again.

Beards, mustaches, side burns, mutton chops, peach fuzz and 5 o'clock shadow. All forms of facial hair. Much like music, everyone has their own taste. Some like it clean, some like it rough. Some like it wild and untamed some like it manicured and precise. But no matter what your preference, does having facial hair instantly make you not punk?

We didn't really talk about this in the episode, but the concept of found footage films is so funny, especially horror ones. A bunch of young adults get murdered in some fucked up way, their footage is later found by someone who sees these gruesome acts and then they think to themselves "damn, better make sure to give this a nation wide release so people can see these people get super murdered". But yaknow, they are fun. But we aren't here to talk about stuff being "fun". We are here to either open the gates of punk or slam them the fuck closed. Sorry that was aggressive.

Italians, the people who gave us pizza, a loud but generally friendly people. Put are they punk? Can you be Italian and also punk? Are Mario and Luigi punk? Idk we didn't really get into that, however I can certainly say Waluigi is punk. One question we did ask of ourselves that many claim to know the answer to...are Italians POCs? You know us, only ever asking the HARD questions and providing barely thought out answers.

What could be more fun than converting a van to live out of it and then traveling around the country, shitting into a bucket, not showering for days and eating like shit all while sleeping every night in a wal-mart parking lot and lying to your instagram followers about how sick your life is? That was rather harsh for someone who does in fact think that sounds cool. But while it may be cool, is the #vanlife punk?

This year marked the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Pretty fucked up. So we decided to take a look back and look at the impact 9/11 has had in terms of punk. There's a little bit of political talk here, a little music talk, a little flagrant lefty shit talking on the nationalistic douches who make 9/11 all about promoting war and racism. This ep really has it all.
Items discussed in this EP
- Wiki list of Entertainment Affected by 9/11 Attacks
- My Chemical Romance's Life on the Murder Scene
- Blink-182 side by side of "Stay Together for the Kids" music videos

I (Connor) was sitting on the couch with a group of people around me watching Inside the other day and I was laughing at "fuck their wives, drink their blood" from Bezos I when I felt a lil buzzbuzz in my pocket. A text from Ian asking what we should discuss next. I look back up just in time to hear Bo's primal scream at the end of the song. The fasts decision I ever made. This week, is Bo Burnham punk?

"Is fishing punk?" is probably one of the most talked about questions in modern times. Most times if you cruise around your local fishing hole you will hear talk of these river rat people arguing about if their favorite pass time is punk or not. Ask any salty sea dog when they return from their voyages out to sea and they may weep wishing they knew the answer. Well worry no longer, we get to the bottom of it on this week's ep.

Saves the Day is one of our favorite bands, but are they punk? Certainly a solid maybe, but a hard question to fully answer. So that's why this week we decided to rip through their whole discography and really figure out just how punk they are. And not to get any of you too excited but Connor developed some new technology that he decided to unleash upon the world this week. The Punk-o-Meter. A scale of 1-10 where we can now certify the percentage punk anything is. Will we go back in time and assign numbers to topics from past eps? Probably not. Will we forget to use this system in the future? Maybe. Enjoy!

Whats up MF'ers this week we get to the bottom of a serious question on the minds of many this time of year. Is Ireland punk? On this EP you get to hear Connor do a bad job at his actual job, being a historian, and listen to Ian slur his words as he gets 4 Guinness deep. We also maybe talk a little too much about how cool the IRA was, but yaknow it's hard to say they weren't at least, pretty cool. Also we got new mics so now we sound real good, enjoy.

In this ep we really get into it. We got Connor's dyslexia on full tilt trying to read people's names, Ian mumbling a little bit, a bunch of technical difficulties and 2 hours of total nonsense. Strap yourselves in and get ready to find out if sports are indeed punk or not.

This use to be a 2 hour podcast where Connor and Ian genuinely tried to say what punk is using loads and loads of research and arguments. It sucked. What is in its place is a quick intro to the pod. It also sucks, we neglected to mention so many things, but at least it is short.
