It's a Chicago punk rock summit as I'm joined by returning
guests Daryl Wilson (The Bollweevils) and Denis Buckley (88 Fingers
Louie) at Dante's Pizza.
Here's what we talk about this week:
Is Denis now tied for most-frequently appearing guest on the
show?
"I have no agenda."
Why in the hell did I say Blaze Pizza? It's DANTE'S. And
Dante's is sooo much better.
I got the lion's share of grease. That's what you get for
grabbing from the bottom of the bag. Daryl thinks the grease will
be absorbed subcutaneously. He's a doctor.
Purell hand sanitizer is the only thing I had on hand to solve
the grease problem.
Dante's slice of the day scared us.
A car almost hit us right at the onset of recording.
Jesus Jones gets more "airtime" than they have in 27
years.
Full confession: Daryl and I went back for "seconds" the last
time we recorded together.
The 90s punk scene that birthed The Bollweevils and 88 Fingers
Louie (Okay, technically Bollweevils started in '89).
The return of Apocalypse Hoboken. I need to work on the liner
notes for their album release.
"Punk rock is kind of self-destructive in a way... we're all
damaged."
Denis could have been a fireman, if not for punk rock.
"To be clear, I'm going to be hosing off my hands."
Not only does the podcast promise to get sexier as it
progresses, but Daryl and Denis arrived on **** *** night!
"Let the dirt wash over you."
Denis and Daryl's board games of choice.
We've all been playing Monopoly wrong.
Denis and Daryl's first concerts: "Can I include an opera?"
"No."
Kids going to concerts now vs. kids going in the 80s.
Cheap Trick's setlist problem.
Daryl to Denis: "You don't pick fights with people you can
beat."
Fugazi broke up a fight between Daryl and Denis.
There's nothing more punk rock than a "Frasier" reference.
Favorite movies are discussed: Blues Brothers, Blazing Saddles,
Big Trouble in Little China, Truth or Dare. Wait... Truth or
Dare?
Why I am "dead" to Daryl, and what made Denis call me a "Car
Con Asshole."
A weird circus bike rode past the Boost Mobile Mazda 3. Damn
hipsters.
"She Caught the Katy" is one of the best songs in Blues
Brothers.
Favorite horror movies are discussed. "Alien" makes it to the
top of the list.
RIP the Golf Mill Theater
