"Now here's a little story I got to tell About three bad brothers you know so well It started way back in history With Ad-Rock, MCA, (and me) Mike D" CHUBS BUMPERSIN returns and we talk about this hip hop classic, LICENSE TO ILL (1986) by BEASTIE BOYS! Artwork

Side One/Side B with Dave and Steve

A punk and a metalhead started a podcast because they want to show each other records and they both have ADHD and need to make the other listen to and now they're going to make you listen to them. Side One/Side B with Dave & Steve is a podcast put together with two bandmates with ADHD who have a similar Venn diagram of music tastes, but Dave comes at it from the punk perspective and Steve from the heavy metal perspective. It’s kind of like crossfire, except we don’t hate each other, or make Jon Stewart sad.
