Frizz and Bob are cracking open the crypt of music’s strangest rumors, shadowy whispers, and full-blown tinfoil-hat territory. Frizz is sipping Ardbeg’s Wee Beastie, Bob’s got a Dark Apparition Stout from Jackie O’s, and we’re diving headfirst into the world of music conspiracy theories. From lizard people and faked deaths to government psyops and murder plots hiding in plain sight, we’re peeling back the layers of the weirdest stories the music world has to offer. Did Jim Morrison escape to Africa? Was Laurel Canyon a CIA experiment? Does Garth Brooks have friends in low places? Stories so creepy that even Stephen King couldn't have written them... or did he? Lock the doors, dim the lights, and pour a strong one because things are about to get weird.

Peter Gabriel, So
Frizz and Bob take the other road in the Genesis breakup and following Peter Gabriel straight into So - the bold, bizarre, and beautiful album that turned an avant-garde art rocker into an unexpected pop icon. Frizz is sipping Ardnamurchan AD Single Malt and Bob’s pouring a glass of Uncle Boojie’s Double Oaked as we track Gabriel’s transformation from inflatable stage props and silent retreats to chart-topping soul bangers, groundbreaking drum sounds, and the most iconic music video of the MTV era. This is Peter Gabriel at his most human, strange, spiritual, and romantic - and it might just be the weirdest way anyone’s ever taken over the world.

Genesis, Invisible Touch
This week, Frizz is sipping Great Glen’s Yuzu Gin and Bob’s got a glass of Ardnahoe’s Inaugural Release Single Malt Scotch as we dive into Invisible Touch - the sleek, synth-driven album that launched Genesis into full-blown pop superstardom. We unpack how a band that started with prog epics and fox masks ended up dominating MTV, topping charts, and soundtracking an entire decade. From political puppets and breakup ballads to keytar solos and stadium-sized hooks, this is Genesis at their most confident, polished, and unexpectedly iconic.

Cyndi Lauper, She's So Unusual
Frizz and Bob crank up the neon and dive into one of the most fearless and fabulously weird pop debuts of all time: She’s So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper. Frizz brings out her wild side with Wild Turkey 101 while Bob brings the spice with Ole George Rye. We explore how a thrift-store fashion queen with a four-octave voice and endless heart rewrote the rules for women in pop. From feminist anthems to filthy controversies, Cyndi turned cover songs into queer-coded ballads, danced through our TV screens, and even changed pro wrestling forever. It’s one of the most iconic albums of the '80s - so come she-bop, belt, and dance with us as we raise a glass to the defiant and totally unforgettable Ms. Lauper.

Earth, Wind & Fire
Frizz and Bob trade in the grunge for grooves this week with a soul-cleansing deep dive into the radiant world of Earth, Wind & Fire. Frizz pours a Speyburn 10 Year Old Single Malt, while Bob sips on the peaty Kilchoman’s Sanaig as they celebrate a band that blended funk, jazz, soul, gospel, and a little mysticism into pure musical joy. They dig into Maurice White’s visionary genius, their rise through college campuses and cult films, and their evolution into one of the most dazzling, uplifting live acts of all time. From Love Is Life to September, Shining Star to Let’s Groove, this episode is packed with towering horn lines, falsetto magic, cosmic stagecraft, and enough musical insight to make even Miles Davis tip his hat. Cue up the kalimba, light up the disco lasers, and get ready to sing a song because this one’s all about hope, movement, and a legacy written in the stars.   Â
