Quinn and Charlie join me to chat about Australian export Silverchair. With their huge amount of hits and success at such a young age, things got complicated for the band, and their music reflected their struggles. We discuss their musicianship, their best albums, and for some weird reason, I talk about washing dishes and menopause.

Welcome Mark Adam Miller from the alternative pop/rock group Deadeye Dick! We chat about their huge hit from the Dumb & Dumber Soundtrack, "New Age Girl", package tours, the best of NOLA, the effects of the grunge era in 1995, and more cool tales from the history of the band!

One of the best artists and songwriters of the era - Debbie Gibson, released her 3rd album "Anything Is Possible" in late 1990. It was a foray into a more mature pop sound, and an album that should have been much bigger. Join Kendra and I as we review it, track-by-track!

Paul and Lucia, the foundation of the UK house/techno band Sunscreem are here from the UK! We talk about the chart position struggle of their hit "Love U More", the gig they did with "aliens", and being a married couple keeping a band together for so many years.

We could not get enough of 2ge+ther history, especially when the wicked awesome Evan Farmer joins me on the show! His role as "the heartthrob" Jerry O'Keefe was a whirlwind of good times. We chat about the show, the music, touring with Britney Spears, his time hosting TRL, and the loss of Michael Cuccione, a true light in everyone's life. We also talk about the turn he took into carpentry, home reno TV, and his book!

Jackie and Danielle, the hosts of No More Late Fees Podcast, join forces with me to discuss the awesome boyband that was 2ge+ther. The MTV creation was originally meant to be a parody movie of the boyband phenomenon, but then it became so much more!

We talk about his new solo releases, upcoming RIFF projects, Teddy Riley, Dallas Austin, and the origins of New Jack Swing, his Canadian experiences and love for Tarzan Dan, and the recent New Edition and upcoming MixTape Tour!

What about "Breakfast at Tiffany's"? The song is one of the longest lasting hits of the '90's, and Deep Blue Something's Todd Pipes fills us in on how the song has remained a radio staple throughout generations. Who from today's music world could he see performing it? The Phil Collins story, and how Naomi needs to find good BBQ.

Kendra and I deep-dive one of the biggest selling albums ever, and an album that made history - Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill". I share a story about meeting young Alanis, the definition of irony, the Dave Coulier rumour, the song we totally forgot about on the album, a fun announcement, and the cross eyed bear that you gave to me.

Welcome to Cody Reid! He has a YouTube channel called "The 80s Gamer", which has got a lot of attention by Blockheads of late because of his video reaction to NKOTB's "Bring Back The Time". There were tears involved, and Donnie Wahlberg himself reached out to Cody. We talk about the music business, his time on the TV show "Nashville", and so much more.
