Greg appeared recently on Sadie Hawkins Pod to talk about Relient K's cover of Doctor Worm. To complete the crossover, here's Jess and Daniel Leary joining Greg on TMBP to talk about the early b-side For Science, a favorite of Daniel's. Strap it in folks, this is a long one with many funny tangents but a big payoff at the end... Let's get those missiles ready to destroy the pod-u-verse!

Daniel and Jess Leary host a song-by-song Relient K podcast. As you heard way back on our 3rd episode, Relient K has covered Dr. Worm, so the couple asked Greg to come on Sadie Hawkins Pod's episode to talk about the cover and give Relient K fans some insight on the band that wrote the song.

Professional podcaster and hilarious dude Justin McElroy of My Brother, My Brother and Me - and many other projects - joins Greg to talk about Pet Name, a song just resurrected for live shows this year. We even found a Yahoo Answers post about pet names to get him comfortable, and curated a boatload of great covers for you all.

On a very special episode Greg is graced by Open Mike Eagle, art rapper, voice actor, Comedy Central show cohost and notable TMBG fan, to talk about the deep deep cut Weep Day. He helps give a good primer to people unfamiliar with his work, and as we talk about the song we cover some topics from silly to serious, like how this is a hyper samba tune to why the TMBG fanbase skews so white.

We continue our conversation on the Hotel Detective song series. Listen to episode 74 first, if you haven't already. So once again we join Jon Uleis and Matt Lee and on Part 2 we cover (She Was A) Hotel Detective In The Future and the nutty commentary track about that song. Ep 74 and 75 were edited by John Walker of the FYIZ podcasts.

I promised my amazing Patreon subscribers friends that when I reached a certain amount of subscriptions I would throw a PARTY via video call for all of us Patrons to shoot the breeze with each other about anything TMBG. On this 2nd party we've got another gaggle of amazing tmbg and tmbp fans - Lisa Solecki, Chris Oliveira, Daniel Leary, and Jordan Morsberger. We get serious for a bit to talk about how COVID-19 is hitting our parts of the country, and roll that right into TMBG memes Daniel has made, and TMBG songs that could best be related to our current state of the world. Serious, but also silly. Tune in!

A year in the making, pt 2 of our TMBG art examination is finally here! I rounded up four awesome artists to discuss the TMBG art of the year 1990 - FLOOD, the ISTANBUL EP and its accompanying music video. On pt 2 we have: Shannon Graham, who has done stuff used by TMBG (a painting of Flans' cat The Governor, for one); Seymour Schmitt, fresh-faced artist and doll maker; Lauren Walton, my art teacher friend and coworker and creator of the cover art for the upcoming They'll Need a Crane live bandcamp EP; and returning is Alistar Kensington, amazing illustrator from Plymouth, England.

The human TMBG encyclopedia and archivist Jon Uleis with cool dude pod newbie Matt Lee tagteam Greg with TMBG knowledge and opinions to talk at great length about ALL the Hotel Detective tracks, of which there are four. On this first installment we talk about the original Flans-penned (She Was A) Hotel Detective off of TMBG's debut album, and the parenthesis-free, Linnell-penned She Was A Hotel Detective off of the 1994 Back To Skull EP. Part 2 with (She Was A) Hotel Detective In The Future and the nutty commentary track about that track, well not really about that track, will be on the next episode! Ep 74 and 75 were edited by John Walker of the FYIZ podcasts.
