Episode 197 Live Spoofs...We Butcher 90s Hits For Your Entertainment!

The best nights start messy: we open with sharp banter on why nostalgia-heavy sequels rarely land, celebrate the micro-jokes that make Naked Gun timeless, and then slam the gas into a reckless, hilarious experiment—live spoof karaoke. No safety net, no rewrites. You’ll hear hooks get twisted in real time, punchlines that barely stick, and a few moments of unexpected genius that prove comedy rewards risk.

From there, the vibe hard-switches into a guided tour of modern heavy music. We break down what makes Spiritbox’s precision so addictive, why Slaughter To Prevail’s gutturals feel like a controlled detonation, and how Pierce The Veil balances melody and muscle. We even go to bat for the much-memed crabcore era, tracing how Attack Attack’s glitchy breakdowns opened doors for today’s genre-bending metalcore. Along the way, we point out the details fans obsess over: hi-hat tricks, down-tuned grit, vocal layering, and the art of building tension before a drop.

The climax hits with Get The Shot and Paleface Swiss, where aggression turns therapeutic. We talk about why brutal lyrics can be cathartic, how a great breakdown is engineered like a jump scare, and why intimate venues beat festivals when you want to feel the kick drum in your ribs. If you’re here for laughs, you’ll get them. If you’re here for riffs, you’ll leave with a stacked queue and a plan to chase tickets the next time these bands roll through.
