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.

In this infantile, yet maturing episode of AOCTO, the b'ys actually listen to what the kids have to say. The discussion focuses on what their spawn listen to and wonder if their music tastes influence what the kids seek out on streaming. There also is an attempt to discuss various genres but John steamrolls through with an angry rant about a former MTV VJ. All this AND a jam packed What Are You Listening To (now known as WAYLT). Come for the childlike whimsy, stay for the opinions.

In this verbose yet spirited episode of the podcast starting with an ellipsis, our lyrical miracles discuss the age old topic of words vs sounds when it comes to music. They try to sway each other into what's more important to a music listener and why the correct answer is the music (wait, someone biased is writing this synopsis). They also whine about a new album from a future Arena Rock band fronted by a former member of Nirvana (here's a hint: it's not Chad Channing), discuss all sorts of music they are listening to at the time (very heavy on old punks this episode), Brad Drinks Bourbon (he also realizes you can't actually see him drink but wants you to know it was a very nice Angel's Envy Rye finished in a Caribbean Rum Cask), and so much more. Come for the lyrics, stay for the opinions.

In this nostalgic episode of AOCTO, our microphone fiends talk about the medium that took their music obsession to new heights: College Radio. The boys discuss not only college radio's impact on their lives but also on society and discuss whether or not it's a dying medium. They also discuss a top 50 list on Brit Pop (lots of Suede talk in this one), what they are listening to for the week (spoiler alert, it's a LOT), Brad drinks again (Penelope Valencia), and the opinions are plentiful (I mean, it's in the damn title).

In a very social episode of AOCTO, the fellas discuss how a music obsessive relates to the general public and what it means to find our "tribe". As always, we talk about what we are listening to for the week, we make ill advised jokes about the ever growing list of Mike Patton albums, Brad drinks bourbon (Knob Creek Barrel Strength), and somehow Knocked Loose gets mentioned again. Plus, WE HAVE A CATCH PHRASE! It's all very exciting, you need to listen.

In this episode, the boys discuss the many ways they consume all things music. We discuss the written word, all the music we hear throughout our days, and the massive amount of music which pummels us everyday. We also talk about Geese on SNL, what we listen to for the week, and so much more. Questions will be answered like What's in Brad's Glass (Penelope Project X Double Finish), will Band Maid be mentioned (YUP!), and will someone have an opinion (look at the damn title!!). Enjoy the episode, it's later than you think.
