We're going the distance, folks. This episode has a short skirt and a long jacket and a whoooooole bakery back there, because this week we out here double-cheeked up with some CAKE. Spoiler alert, that's not the type of cake they're named after. Michael Zalusky is back to help handle hosting duties, and we have producer, rapper, podcaster, and jack-of-several-trades Awesome Ty on the show to help us explore the album Prolonging the Magic. I won't prolong this description, but know that we cover such topics as: dogs with buttons, what is art?, and the meaning of dude ranch, all in less than 2 hours!

We have a super special episode for you this time, folks. Nick is out of town and instead of going it solo again, Rick invited a co-host: friend of the show and past guest Michael Zalusky! It's a reunion of the Avast! Ye Scoundrel hosts and so of course it immediately goes off the rails. We have comedian and podcaster Rivers Langley on the show discussing the weirdest album we've ever done: Ween's Chocolate and Cheese. We go deep in on this one, people, but we still make time for brand new segments Tomato Talk, Mushroom Moment, and Hooray for Hollywood, and to discuss the Chef Aid South Park album. Strap in for this one! Thanks to Pale Blue Dot for our theme For You...

Awaken, my listeners! We're back with another installment of Spin Doctors (which I promise will start being more regular again soon) with a guest we've been wanting for a while, the incomparable SLOcal comedian Kelsie Rae! On this episode we answer the hard hitting questions like: which is the silliest animal? Did Kelsie have the best band name of all time? What memories does Pokemon GO unlock? Join us, won't you, as we ponder these questions and more on our exploration of Childish Gambino's third album, "Awaken, My Love!" And if you know Childish Gambino, then you KNOW we did the name generator. Bonus: listen towards the end of the episode for when Rick's allergies really kick in!   Thanks to Pale Blue Dot for our theme For You...

BING BONG! Spin ya life! Hi everyone, and welcome to the newest episode of Spin Doctors. Come on in and make yourself comfortable and warm, cause it's about to get rainy. We have a first for this episode, as our guest, the hilarious Jacob Blaeser, chose an album we've already done! So we made him change it. Look, I don't make the rules. Well, I do, but still. I'm glad we changed it, because this album ROCKS. Pearl Jam's seminal (haha) album, Ten, is a cornerstone of rock and roll history, and we have a blast going through it. From the Big Game halftime show, to how glue is made, to the science behind pop music, this episode has it all! #CatchMeJoking Thanks to Pale Blue Dot for our theme For You...

Ok, cards on the table, this one was recorded WAY after the last episode, but Rick had COVID and there's a lot going on. Either way, we're back with a very special part 2 of our countdown of Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 20 Songs of All Time. We're really gettin' into our stride on this one, with plenty of bird and hair talk, which we know is why you listen. These top 10 songs are undeniably great, but are they the greatest of all time? Only a thorough investigation by the Spin Daddies can tell, on this week's thrilling finale! Bang! Zow! Zot! Thanks to Pale Blue Dot for our theme For You...

A cold wind blows snow across a twilit field. A hooded figure appears in the distance, carrying a lantern and using a walking stick. It approaches. The hood slowly falls back to reveal an ancient face, weathered by time, wizened almost beyond recognition. But then you see it. Could it be? A relic from a forgotten past? It is. It's the Spin Doctors. And WEEEEEE'RE BACK, BABY! Did you miss us? I missed us. It's 2022 and Season 2 of the Spin Doctors is here with a very special episode. Rolling Stone Magazine unleashed a Top 500 Songs of All Time list, and we thought 500 was too many, so we're doing the top 20. Thanks for listening and hanging in there during the crazy long hiatus! This episode is completely powered by sheer force of will, and Rick was definitely on the fence about whether it was good, so let us know if it is.

I....AM....SPIN DOCTORRRRRR. Get it? Like the song from the album we're doing this week? One of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time, Black Sabbath's Paranoid paved the way for hundreds of long-haired, pentagram wearing, devil-horn throwing, angsty teenagers to piss their parents off. And who better to join us on this journey to the dark side than our good friend, comedian Bob Powers. Bob helps walk us through our most familiar album yet, and Rick gets steadily drunker throughout the recording, see if you can tell! And of course it's becoming the holiday season, so we talk Christmas, the rise and fall of fax machines (which we definitely confused with copiers, oops), which lamp is best to be beaten to death with, and we figure out what makes a good cover song. Yay holidays! Thanks to Pale Blue Dot for our theme For You... Paranoid is © Black Sabbath and Warner Bros. and Vertigo available under CC BY-NC 2.5 Follow us on IG and Twitter @spindocpod Questions?

Don't WORRY. We're back! And we have another fantastic episode for you, we didn't want to make you WORRY. The doctors are in as we take a clinical look at the album of the week, Jeff Rosenstock's WORRY. We are joined by extra funny boy Mike Wooten, and really reminisce hard about the 90s. This album is great, this episode is great, Mike is great, we're great, and don't WORRY., you're great too. We're talkin' soaps, the educational hurdles of being emo, fashion, and a whole lot more on this brand spankin' new episode of Spin Doctors! Thanks to Pale Blue Dot for our theme For You...

Well, well, well. Look who it is. The listener. We've been expecting you. We have a great episode for you this week, as our buddy and fellow podcaster Michael Booth stops by and we get completely friggin silly. From Olympic board games to Hot Rod quotes, Bocce ball to the best ways to die, this one's got it all, folks. Plus, as always, an album! And this week's album is Real Talk, the debut record from pop punk band Man Overboard. This was the last episode recorded before the mini hiatus in October and it was a real goofy one, but also very heartfelt, so please enjoy it and share it with your friends, THANKSSSSS!

Oh hi, didn't hear you come in. Welcome, have a seat won't you? We've gathered all your friends here today because we love and care about you. And one of those friends is Rick, and another one of them is Nick, and another one is our guest this week, Ron Swallow. Host of The Greatest Pod, Ron wants to give you a gift to show you how important and special you are. And that gift is White Zombie's La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One. This album is a groovy horror metal fueled carnival ride and it is so much fun. We also debate which superheroes the cast of Tiger King would be, everyone acknowledges that Rick is the Main Character, and we delve into the wild wild world of professional rollerblading.

Brushing the cobwebs off our eyes and blowing the dust from our fingertips, the Spin Docs rise from hiatus like that very vampire of lore himself, the mysterious Count Dracula! Welcome back to the show folks, we have a great one for you. Comedian extraordinaire Bruce Gray is on this week's episode to talk about the album that got him through his early comedy career, Neil Young's Harvest. We also explore the history of Central California bullying, discover Iraqi drifting, and watch James Taylor roast the crap out of some college kids along the way. Thanks for sticking with us through the break, and enjoy the return of Spin Doctors! James Taylor video Thanks to Pale Blue Dot for our theme For You...

Couldn't be happier to have Nick back in studio this week as we delve into Rick's personal blind spot, old school hip hop. Comedian and rap aficionado Ato Diaba Walker swings by the show to help educate us about one of rap's most influential groups, Outkast, and their 1996 album ATLiens. Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, ATLiens (or AT-Liens) is a time capsule of mid 90s hip hop. Pronounce it any way you want, this album is a chill banger full of buttery flows and great beats, and is top to bottom an entire dang mood. Ato also divulges his microdosing schedule, Rick recounts a time he almost died on a ride, and we pay homage to the discman. Rick was completely out of his element here, so thank the gods Nick is back for this episode of Spin Doctors! Thanks to Pale Blue Dot for our theme For You...
