Summary

Steven begins today's episode by apologizing to Ian and the Sum 41 fan community for his recent disrespectful comments on the pod -- new information has come to light that made him rethink his snarkiness (0:58). Then there is a short Sportscast about the new NFL season (4:25), and more despair from Steven about the state of his fantasy albums draft team (12:08).

The guys then pivot to the new MJ Lenderman album out today, Manning Fireworks. It's Steven's favorite record of the year, and Ian likes it, too, though not as much (15:06). Steven also recounts seeing King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard live for the first time this week, which made clear just how huge that band is (28:02).

In the mailbag, they address emails about the worst contracts in music history (38:29) and whether they "yay or nay" the band Girls (47:42).

In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the emo band Floral Tattoo while Steven stumps for a new book by The Hold Steady's Franz Nicolay (56:23).

Ian, how are you?

0:40.7

I don't want our listeners to think that I've been trying to pitch a all-killer, no-filler Sunday review for the past 10 years or so. You know, maybe for the

0:46.1

follow-up, does this look infected? But I think you, like, I don't know if you accidentally

Well, what I mean is that I disrespected them based on faulty information on my part.

1:03.7

And I just, I just wanted to a quick fact check here because, you know, I think people, they listen to this show and they inspect, they expect integrity
