Awful Spotlight #4! We’re covering three videos from Scott Weiland’s eclectic career, hand-picked by my guest, a feral human raised by a family of Wildmen. We dance the Musty Queer to Weiland’s Bowie-inspired single “Barbarella,” feel confused on behalf of titular “Sour Girl” Sarah Michelle Gellar for her part in the Stone Temple Pilots video, and we “Slither” down a toilet in Prague to watch Velvet Revolver perform the same riff for 3+ minutes.

Today we enter new territory as we revisit two mesmerizing videos from late 90’s/early 2000's rap giants Birdman and Lil John. We’re talking platinum football fields, custom PT cruisers, 3/4 of the Kings of Comedy, ridiculously graphic lyrics, and I reassess my adolescent hatred of the Lil John club banger.  Stuff we like: Kanye West’s Life of Pablo and Kendrick Lamar’s Untitled Unmastered.

Listener response time! It’s a special episode today as I respond to the huge reaction you guys had to our Lit episode (still kind of surprised people remembered them). I’m reading emails, Instagram and Facebook comments with stories of angry letters to the Guitar World editor, Lit’s MTV Cribs episode, the band’s 2000 Spring Break performance, and Jeremy Popoff freaking out about negative Yelp reviews for The Slidebar.

Today I'm talking with Nick and Matt about another "truly Californian" band from Orange County (sorry). Mark McGrath knocks his four front teeth out and breakdances on broken glass, we examine the band's secret funk metal past, and co-writer and director McG is probably Eurotrash.

 Good music dicussed on this episode: Royal Canoe's "Button Fumbla," David Bazan's "Wolves at the Door," Lee Ranaldo's "Ambulancer," and Thundercat's "Song for the Dead."

This week we're revisiting "My Own Worst Enemy" by 90's #bowlingrock stalwarts Lit. We chat about how unfortunately influential this video was to our younger selves, touch on their evolution from hair metal act Razzle to grunge band Stain to the band that America briefly fell in like with, and remember their horrible connection to the Kelly Thomas incident.

Also in this episode: a hard stance against Journey's Kids and vodka, an embarrassing story about covering this song in a middle school band, an edgy bowling ball named "Headhunter," being too chubby/old to do the worm, and we somehow manage to talk about Friends, Married with Children, Clarissa Explains it All, Dharma and Greg, and Frasier.
