Two dudes discuss vinyl music, booze and living with their overwhelming anxiety. We are the type of guys you hang out with for the conversation. We'll sit around and talk about anything from music and drinking to depression and crippling anxiety, all without realizing we've just laughed or cried half our day away. In this podcast we bring you in on those conversations because, well we're gonna have them anyway.

I guess we're doing it like this. *shrug*

Another mini-series from Wes and I. Not as deep as the heartbreak saga but I'm hoping you all can relate to what we've been talking about. Being overwhelmed is something crazy big and until recently, I didn't know it had a name just like other anxieties, it seems easier to tackle them when you give them a name and talk about it, releasing that energy into the world.

Anyway, enjoy, and hopefully you appreciate what we're talking about. If not, skip ahead and check out the Spin...

We're bringing it back to the feels!

This short conversation was really the warm up of episode #18 but it was too good not to air... and, sorry, because of this there isn't a spin of the week.

Anyway, Wes lets us in on a lot of stuff going on in his life and how overwhelming it all is for him and we unpack that a bit. It's a pretty great conversation and we hope you enjoy it... who knows, we might just have another mini-series on being overwhelmed.

We just couldn't stay away from our favorite topic... heartbreak. Back when Wes and I put that series together we had no idea how it'd end up. In our eyes, it turned out great. So great, that I don't wanna stop but I will, after this episode... Top 5 heartbreak songs! We each picked 5 songs that we consider heartbreaking and go back and forth about what they mean to us and what the lyrics could represent.

But, before we get to the heartbreak songs Wes and I talk about live shows, because, well, they're back!! It's something we...

Welcome back to our attempt at a three part series on heartbreak.

This week, we try picking up where we left off after our last episode. However, that episode was recorded six months ago and as you can imagine, a lot has changed since then. So, with that said, this episode is a bit different, like, it feels a bit forced at first because I'm attempting to bring the mood back to where you, as the listeners last heard us which is honestly a bit dark when, in reality, I'm an entirely different person than I was...

Welcome to part two of our three part series on heartbreak.

If you haven't yet, listen to part one, or, you know, don't... you do you.

This was recorded in March of 2021. In this episode we continue our conversation about heartbreak, mostly because I was in a place where I needed to and partly because we both wanted to talk about it considering we hadn't really talked since that last recording. We both also wanted to talk about our spins of the week too.. which we actually get to this time.

Another episode...

08/11/2021

This is part one of a three part series on heartbreak.

This first part was recorded in February of 2021 after I experienced a rough breakup. I chose to break the news to Wes during a recording session, hoping to spawn a conversation about heartbreak and also with the hopes of helping myself process what I was going through. We spent a lot of time talking about it, so much that we didn't have time to do our spins of the week, those will be in part two. I promise.

Check it out, this episode is...

We're back after a bit of a break and yes, we've missed these things too!! This weeks episode covers so many topics that I really have no idea how to describe it except that it's a classic Punch Drunk Vinyl back and forth between Wes and I, but, like with the feeling that we just needed to catch up on a lot of things. Our spins this week are A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships by The 1975 and Show Me How You Disappear by Ian Sweet. Support this podcast


#12 Always leave the Mic on

This weeks episode is the product of some strange times. Both Wes and I have been riding some of the most wild emotional roller-coasters of our lives in the past few months. Our rides aren't over by any means, as they're totally individual experiences, however, in this episode we share some insight on how we've dealt with those rides and shared the things we've learned along the way.

Our spins this week are Sketchy by Tune-Yards and Collapsed In Sunbeams by Arlo Parks. These records are fabulous and we hope you enjoy our take on them.

#11 Fitness Episode

This week Mac and I jump into an impromptu 'Best Of" albums around fitness. We had an idea that our Spin of The Week would be about what we love running to and then decided to just to do an all out Top-5 style episode around some of our favorite albums to listen to while working out. We go all over the place with this one and it really shows just how varied our music tastes are.

We hope you find a connection to one of the 10 albums we talk about today. Or, maybe these artists are...
