Yes, Monday's episode dropped a few days early, but fear not. I've got something set for next week that'll help bridge the gap until the following Monday. 🤘🏼

Somebody once told me... there’s more to Smash Mouth than “All Star.” Founding member Paul De Lisle talks Fush Yu Mang, Shrek, the wild afterlife of “All Star,” Steve Harwell’s legacy & Mercury Comet, their first album of original material in over a decade. 🔗 in comments.

OK, you have my attention Seth. Coming Sept. 18th.

Some songs become bigger than the moment they were written. This week, Carl Bell of FUEL talks “Shimmer,” “Hemorrhage,” “Innocent,” the new album Pendulum, and what it means to keep moving forward without leaving the past behind. Link in comments.

It's heating up this August as MWM closes in on 200 episodes! 🎉 🎙️ 8/10: Carl Bell (FUEL) 
🎙️ 8/17: Paul DeLisle (Smash Mouth)
 🎙️ 8/24 & 8/31: The Perfect Album Vols. 2 & 3 — featuring 20 incredible guests! Thanks for listening, sharing & being part of this community. 🎧

Can you guess these 5 songs from the clues dropped throughout this week's episode? How many did you get right? Be honest! Zero judgment here... as some clues are definitely more on the nose than others!

You get ONE dance song to define the last 25 years. What's your pick? We picked 20...and still left out favorites. Chime in now and then see if it made this week's discussion! Link in comments.

Anyone who remembers parachute day in elementary school gym class knows it was impossible to have a bad time! 🪂 So... what band or artist gives you that same feeling?

The name Parker Barrow is inspired by Bonnie & Clyde—but the real story runs much deeper. Megan Kane & Dylan Turner join me to talk survival, life on the road, Hold the Mash, social media pressure, and what it really takes to build a band that lasts. You know what to do! 🤘🏼

Rest in Power Jennifer. 🙏🏼

Stumbled across a copy of 21 Guns' "Salute" CD earlier today. It was released in 1992 and features Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy on guitar. Anyone else ever have this one in their collection?

What's your favorite song that's over 10 minutes long? This week's episode reminded me that "10-minute songs" aren't just a classic rock thing. Curious to see where everyone's favorites land.

What's a 10+ minute song that never feels its length? This week, I pick 10 rock epics that earn every second of your time. Drop yours below! 🕰️

Yesterday, I snagged a 4-pack of 90's Hip Hop from Jacks Music in Red Bank, NJ. Physical media will always be king.🤘🏼

I think my Apple Music account had a few too many this Friday night. 😂

⏰ Time flies... ...especially when the song is over 10 minutes long and somehow feels half that. If you've ever looked at the timer after a song ended and thought, "Wait...that was over 10 minutes?" — this one's for you. 🎧 Patreon members are listening now. Link in bio.

Some memories feel too unbelievable to be real. On June 17, 2000, I somehow went from the crowd to center stage with Poison—singing KISS' "Rock and Roll All Nite" into Bret Michaels' mic in front of thousands. No video. No selfies. Just one Rikki Rockett drumstick + this story.

Friendly reminder... When we talk about the '90s to our kids, we sound exactly like our parents did when they talked about the '50s back in the '80s. Now excuse me while I go explain to my oldest why making the perfect mixtape took hours, but was absolutely worth it. 🤘🏼

When I asked everyone to help spread the word, I probably should've been more specific.
