Showed up for the Jummies, stayed for the Jokermen

probably the episode I revisit the most; it got me hooked on the Beach Boys. Really enjoyable discussions all around. 🏖️❤️

3 words: Stink, stank, stunk. "The Beach Boys aren't hip anymore." Also, Tim comparing the Beach Boys to Beethoven was so incredible I can't tell if this entire episode is sarcastic or not.

TM Is definitely still not legitimate. It’s a cult, just watch “David Wants To Fly”: https://youtu.be/G8ArHOdDhR4?si=rm2iekf0KEIo4

Yet another great episode, although I was secretly hoping someone would bring up Todd Rundgren's surreal story where he and Brian Wilson went to the Troubadour back in 1974 to hear the jazz-fusion guitarist Larry Coryell. Apparently, an agitated Brian, dressed in bathrobe and slippers, jumped up on stage in the middle of Larry's set and started singing "Be-Bop-A-Lula." Incredible.

You guys like Brian Wilson? Well check this out https://youtu.be/ThYi8o6pQu8?si=HY110gmEnlGGKsLF

No joke, I attended The Beach Boys and America concert with my parents in Pittsburgh, but I don’t think it was 1990. It was later, maybe 93/94.

Personally, it was one of my favorites in recent memory
Tim Heidecker
you don't! it's good practice to keep those kinds of thoughts INSIDE the brain. or tell your parents. thanks.

gotta admit fellas, this was a rough one!

Killer ep. Love the cover of “I Shall be Released”

Jonny Kosmo's discussion on narrative therapy was amazing. I just got my masters in counseling and am working in substance abuse. So it's super cool to see someone on the show discussing postmodern counseling theory and existential unknowing. If I were 21 and hearing that advice, it could've saved some years of wandering. Awesome guests today. Also - we needed about a dozen more "I'm Like Dylan" drops throughout the 'sode, shame on you Victor
Tim Heidecker
Should have clarified this was a PRODUCER MATT response 😘
Joss Humberstone
Cool! Didn’t know that!
Jackson S
It’s all good music when OHL and Jokermen scat it out…one of the best episodes yet!
marshy
happy for the office hours music channel

It’s a great song. Written and produced by Brian Wilson. Should also mention that this song from the new Jessica Pratt album lifts the drum part from that song https://youtu.be/QaXe9zAa3r4?si=MmDFepdiQgArMKid

I’m just surprised that the cast of this show can genuinely maintain enthusiasm for these artists after such a long time. As a listener it does get old tbh, kind of impressive, but still gets old hearing about the same like 3-4 artists every week.
Joss Humberstone
That Glen Campbell song was lethal too
Alexander Darko
Not a big fan of this music genre so was totally lost in this episode. Really wish it was a nice 20-30 minute segment instead of the whole ep. But totally respect the love everyone had on the subject. At the end of the day, I really just tune in to hear some jokes, puns, and funny voices, so this ep felt slim. You know when the typical comic podcast has another comic on and they just talk about “the road”? Yeah this felt like that.

Hothead caller with the very underrated pun - “Enjoy ‘da vision” 👏🏻

Thank youuuu!!

Good horning! It’s a cool bike shop in San Marino (which is basically South Pasadena) that also sells plants called Cub House https://cubhouse.cc/

Mark Volman used to teach a class about the music industry at pierce college in the valley that a number of my friends took. I got to meet him once and he seems like a good guy. Also beyond the turtles great career, Flo and Eddie have sung on a pretty amazing list of songs from all the T. rex stuff to the psychedelic furs love my way. Not to mention their great beach boys pastiche “keep it warm”.

Vic killed it

Hold the A-treat Big Blue, but I will wholeheartedly recommend United Sodas of America sour blueberry soda 🤌

Glad to see Glen Campbell on the show today. "I'd like to thank Mike Love for not mentioning MEEEEEEEEE" - Bob Dylan.

Loved the beach boy stuff today, I didn’t know anything outside of Dennis’s connection with Charles Manson!
Scott Pauli
