Is the scene going country? + Tenacious D-saster + Reading mean Tweets + blink-182 vs Green Day
Plus, a horrible National Anthem performance from Ingrid Andress we have to talk about.
This episode is jam-packed! In this week's episode, Tyler and John discuss the recent horrible performance of the National Anthem by Ingrid Andress, Tenacious D's untimely joke that has gotten them canceled, and MGK getting fangs. They also read mean tweets about last week's episode and round things out with a debate on whether Green Day's era of Dookie - Nimrod was better or worse than blink-182's Dude Ranch - Take Off Your Pants and Jacket era.

Man, the news cycle is keeping you two busy! My take on the country music attention: there are so many cross-genre collaborations and genre-hopping artists that it’s pulling people into the genre. I don’t think it’s a personal nostalgic move as much as a marketing move designed to expand fan bases— a successful track record is proof. And it’s sad that country music is now associated with a political movement. But punk is apolitical if not anti political by definition. So not sure how that adaptation will shake out for punks.
Ingrid. Sigh. IMHO, her handlers should be fired. I know “all press is good press” in theory, but butchering the national anthem could be a career killer- and with good reason. Anyone remember Rosanne Barr’s cringe-worthy performance? I do hope Ingrid gets the help she needs and then finds a new team.
