10/10 You're Great
Believes in Patterns — with Elias
Season 3, Ep. 17
•
This week! You scream, I Scream, We All Scream! That is a pattern in 2026 and we believe in patterns! Hey, that's almost the name of the album we discussed on this episode. That's right, music critic, screamo-knower and fellow Alternative-head Elias joined us this week to walk us through I Would Set Myself On Fire For You's second record, Believes in Patterns. Almost certainly I messed up the title case somewhere in there so it's good Chris often forgets to read these.
Other reasons to set yourself ablaze this week include: Haircuts in today's dollars must be put on a payment plan, is metalcore like metal ore in Minecraft, and also we all loudly agree that underscores rules which is great because it's true.

22. Tim — with Will of Melvic Centre
01:18:10||Season 3, Ep. 22This week it’s Tim with Will and Chris and Charlie and Lucas and Donald and Ronald and I only made up two of those names so get guessing, clue hunters! Speaking of sleuthing: Will (of Melvic Centre, which is spelled Australian style like Colour or Raisin Brean) joined us to explain The Replacements’ fourth (?!) studio album, Tim. That's right it's Tim Time and I wish we had said that on the episode.Also in Tim Time: The Simpsons got Australia totally right in just a few ways, an investigation into the Melvic/Pelvic controversy, and we ask Will to name every credit card he's ever seen.
21. Just Married — with Kade of Swiss Army Wife
01:33:56||Season 3, Ep. 21Our episode naming conventions make it sound like we just got married to Kade but no! No one gets married in this episode except for us getting married to the idea of loving Get Married! Let me start this over this isn't working: This week, we are joined by Kade of Swiss Army Wife (linktr.ee/swissarmywifeband) who walks us through Glocca Morra's secret masterpiece, Get Married.Also up for discussion: Tortellinis are a dangerous kitchen food, it's actually totally normal to wear nothing under a sweatshirt, and we all love Portland, Oregon (Maine not mentioned).Editor's Note: We are aware Top Gun is in Fallon and NOT Las Vegas. We are also aware that much of TOP GUN (1986) takes place in San Diego. Remarks made at the beginning of the episode were part of a purposeful misinformation campaign.
20. The Monitor — with Sean Huber
01:42:09||Season 3, Ep. 20This week we are joined by Sean Huber of Bardust, Steady Hands and Modern Baseball to talk about Titus Andronicus' Civil War/Teen Feelings concept album, The Monitor. I know it's about a ship but I can't help but think they named it after the TV monitor on accident and that's confusing. Name ships differently!Also up for discussion: Wales is a criminally underatted country, what the hell even is the Jersey Devil, and The Pogues were originally called "Pogue Mahone" so they should sue Post Malone for copyright.
19. Awkward Breeds
01:24:27||Season 3, Ep. 19This week we three sidekicks (under communism, no one gets to be the main guy) discuss The Sidekicks' Awkward Breeds. It's underrated and it has got a bird on the cover and basically all we do is list similar facts such as that. Also up for breeding (discussion): This is now a presidential impression podcast, soda enemas are in (the wrong holes) and Boy Meets World, What About Boy Exits World: the Abraham Lincoln Story.
18. Pornography
01:31:49||Season 3, Ep. 18This week on TTYG we return to The Cure's classic record Pornography and it goes about as well as you'd think.Also up for discussion: A bev from a California far away is slurped and turfed, M.I.A. gets K.I.A. for reasons of being evil now, and we are not medical professionals please do not listen to us.
16. Broken Social Scene
01:29:38||Season 3, Ep. 16This week, we three social sons form a social scene for Broken Social Scene's Broken Social Scene and if that sentance hypnotized you please mail me your wallet. Also up for Fire Eye'd Boyscussion (that's boy-discussion, not concussion thats football stuff): We eulogize Fuddruckers and speculate on how guys used to be horny different style, Kevin Drew has written a much raunchier I Saw Mama Kissing Santa Claus, and WADS-1 is dead, long live DUMP-6.
15. Weezer (Blue Album) — with Kory of Prince Daddy & the Hyena
01:34:19||Season 3, Ep. 15This week we were joined by Kory Gregory of Prince Daddy & the Hyena (on the eve of the release of his new record, Hotwire Trip Switch) to talk about a much older, much bluer record. I will leave it to you to determine which record that is, and whether or not it has the smash hit Pork and Beans on it.Also up for discussion: We throw down the gauntlet on party foul world records, food used to turn you into all sorts of little guys, and Rivers Cuomo could not conceivably commit crimes unless he did.
14. Return to Love — with Zac
01:26:27||Season 3, Ep. 14This week we are joined by returning (to love) guest of the pod and head of the Alternative (available at getalternative.com this is not payola) Zac, who walks us through Lvl Up's classic record, Return to Love. And if you weren't aware of this record you just had to be exactly where I was in 2016 because it was everywhere.Also worth returning to: A certain website does March Madness and gets everything totally wrong per us, can a Shrewgirl love a Ratboy? yes if the girl is a man named Chris, and Slobodan is a funny name to say even if he did historically unfunny things.
