The Throwback Podcast

On April 20th 1993, America's Creepy Uncle and his friends unleashed a radio-friendly long-player that would go on to sell over 20 million copies AND awaken young Dan's sexuality in ways he never could've imagined. On this episode, Bob, Dan, and a cricket try to get a grip on how a 70's rock band reinvented themselves in the 90's and managed to turn Alicia Silverstone into a superstar along the way. It's amazing.

Our Britpop Patreon Poll wasn't even close: Parklife destroyed the competition. Travis, Pulp, and Supergrass couldn't hold a candle to this classic LP from the U.K. But how will it play in a garage occupied by two unabashed Oasis-stans? Mr. Gorrilaz and his merry band of posh Essex boys are about to find out.

Perhaps if Bob and Dan paid a little more attention to the advice Nada Surf was dispensing they would've been a little more popular and wouldn't have ended up counting down the Top 10 Alternative Rock Hits of 1996 in a rented garage. But that's where we're at. So stop standing outside that broken phonebooth with money in your hand and travel back to the era of Peak Alternative... before we sputter out.

It's Dealer's Choice Week (sponsored by BrunoTheSponsor@gmail.com & the world-renowned Cliney), which is why Bob dug into his dusty old CD collection and pulled out Blind Melon's self-titled 1992 debut album. Will it hold up? Will Dan make fun of Bob for writing "Shannon Hoon 1967 - 1995" on his backpack in high school? And will Bob be forced to get a Blind Melon tattoo after a massive online outpouring? The answers may surprise you! (not really. it goes: nah, yes- a lot, and I guess we'll see.)

Things get filthy on the latest Throwback Pod, but when you go back to 2003 and the guys exchange "meet me in the bathroom" stories, what do you expect? Oh yeah, they also listen to The Strokes' underrated masterpiece "Room On Fire." That happens too.

The King Of Pop meets the lesser known Kings Of Drinking Cheap Beer In A Sweaty Garage on this week's episode of The Throwback Podcast. Bob and Dan go way back to 1991 to Remember The Time MJ was on omnipresent icon and Macaulay Culkin was stung to death by bees. [Insert Glass Shattering Sound Effect HERE]

Do you love The Darkness? Do you even BELIEVE in a thing called love? Well, either way, Bob and Dan are tackling the '03 debut album from a band they amazingly saw live in 2018. Get ready to rock -- with or without irony. 

The Patreon-ies have spoken! The time has finally come for Dan and Bob to dive into the modern rock masterpiece that is The Colour and the Shape. Will it hold up? Will Bob be able to scream his way through Monkey Wrench? Is it time to address Dan's issues with his Uncle Tito? There's only one way to find out.

Janet Jackson. Rod Stewart. Heart - This is NOT your mother's Throwback Pod. Actually, wait a second... it MIGHT be your mother's Throwback Pod. This week, Dan and Bob are going WAY back to 1990 and listening to the Top 10 tracks off Billboard's Hot 100. Travel back to a time when Aerosmith wasn't creepy and fat jokes weren't off-limits. Nothing compares 2 This.

Dan and Bob are BACK in the garage! And what better way to celebrate the new era of Throwback Pods than by revisiting Gavin Rossdale's hit-filled 90's monolith "Sixteen Stone" -- an album that wasn't respected by critics... or roughly 50% of the people in the garage. If you like listening to super-hot dudes talking about other super-hot dudes, then this is the episode for you.

In what COULD BE the final episode of The Throwback Podcast, Bob and Dan travel back to their senior year of high school to revisit the Top 10 Modern Rock Tracks of April '98. Follow us on twitter @throwbackpod to KIT and stay up to date on what happens next. Hope you had the time of your life.

This week Dan and Bob present Wyclef Jean Presents The Carnival. If you want to hear two guys talking over one guy rapping over stuff, well, today's your lucky day. When you roll into the Carnival anything can happen-- like, say, Bob almost crying while reliving a traumatizing moment from his past. Give a kiss to your mother.

In the mid-90's a prickly genius with an egg-shaped head put out one of the most ambitious albums in a generation. In the late 2010's, two guys in a garage listened to all 28 tracks while drinking beer and cracking masturbation jokes. Equally ambitious? You be the judge.

Did You Know before he wowed audiences in Art Of Revenge, actor StephAn Jenkins was the lead singer of a successful alt-rock band called Third Eye Blind? It's true. This week Dan and Bob push play 3EB's eponymous debut. They also read some Tweets from listeners, relive their 1997 tales of erotica, and remember some legends who have passed on (RIP Phife Dawg). It's the ULTIMATE Throwback Pod.

What more do you need to know?

It didn't get much bigger than Jagged Little Pill. This week, Dan and Bob reminisce on that period between 1995 and 1996 when Alanis Morissette ruled the world. How does the album hold up? Where do you get off, Uncle Joey? Oh, and they finally figure out what #PhoebeBeBangin to.

Twenty-five years after the release of Automatic For The People, your rock-snob Uncle's favorite album gets the Throwback treatment. From "Man In The Moon" to "Everybody Hurts" Dan and Bob revisit the hit singles that soundtracked the 90's, and discuss why "Sweetness Follows" is actually a sneaky-good Sex Mix song.

Comedian/television host/actress/friend Nikki Glaser drops by the garage to revisit the songs that ruled the world during a very strange time to be alive -- 2001. Shaggy. Creed. J-Lo. Lifehouse. The Lady Marmalade song. It's almost impossible to imagine this was real life. And yet ... it was. PUT IT ON THE BOARD!

This week we're 'In The Garage' with the High & Mighty one, Jon Gabrus, to geek out over Weezer's debut album. The guys swap concert stories, talk D&D, and dig into the psyche of one Rivers Cuomo. Oh, and they also drink. A lot.

Thomas Earl Petty passed away on Monday, October 2nd at 8:40 p.m. Later that night, Dan and Bob convened in the garage to share stories, listen to their favorite Petty songs, and celebrate the life of a legend.
