Crushed Monocle Podcast: Episode 3 – The Early Stuff Is Better

The Bearded Gentlemen First of The Month Podcast has been rebooted. And just like all those reboots you didn’t ask for, we’re turning it into something barely recognizable! The role of host will now be played by me, Coop! The co-host will still be played none other than site owner, Jon Robertson. We’re also changing the name of it to The Crushed Monocle Podcast too. But maybe this isn’t a natural change but the result of a hostile corporate takeover!? Who knows!?

Admittedly, this episode of the Crushed Monocle Podcast is a bit more freeform. We aren’t good at homework, okay? Nevertheless, it’ll be fun!

On the third episode of the Crushed Monocle Podcast, Jon and I talk about a wide variety of topics you may or may not be interested in:

  • The wonderous joys of Failure‘s Kelli Scott
  • Veruca Salt being one of the best non-Nirvana grunge rock bands of the 90s
  • The wild secret of Aerosmith’s success
  • My ill-fated attempt at joining The Smashing Pumpkins
  • Elizabeth Berkley ghosting us
  • Dave Grohl is an insufferable tool

But most importantly, Jon and I discuss the most hipster of all statements: Is the early stuff actually better?

Unfortunately, we’ve all seen our favorite artists become embarrassing shells of their former selves. I mean, technically, this podcast is a reboot. But regardless of how we feel about our musical demigods, was their earlier output their actual best? Tune in for the full discussion and let us know what you think!

Do all these topics interest you? Sure they do! The takes are as hot as the Saved By The Bell cast! The third episode of the Crushed Monocle Podcast covers all of this and more! So, repair the hole in the armpit of your Failure baseball t-shirt, and listen to Jon and I talk about stuff. All the stuff!
