What can only be described as the Fine Art of Pigeonholing, the lads from AOCTO delve feet first in the deep end of record labels and attempt to correlate buying and listening trends to various record labels. They go even deeper into the abyss known as music genres and wonder why there's a genre called s*&tgaze. The show wraps up with the universally pandered segment of WAYLT as always. Come for the preconceived notions, stay for the opinions.

In a story as old as time itself, our idiot influencers reveal important albums core to their formation as music obsessives. It's an episode so grand, they go completely off format and even possibly have to split the episodes into parts (Spoiler Alert: They do). The show answers all the pressing questions such as: Why is Brad Drinking Water? Why is a wooden spoon used as a sight gag? Why are they doing sight gags on an audio podcast? Come for the persuasion, stay for the opinions.
