Grab a tube sock for your privates: it’s time to pit the Red Hot Chili Peppers against Weird Al! Before Mark makes the pun that drives our listenership numbers off a cliff, we’re discussing the omnipresent Chilis hits “Under The Bridge” and “Give It Away”; how many songs Weird Al might have tried to fit his Flintstones joke set into before settling on these; the five items ’90s dorm rooms had to contain lest their occupants risk expulsion; and the difference between “sexy” and “just always naked all the time.” Hashtag justice for the Bee Girl: it’s an all-new episode of MASTAS!
Our intro is by David Gregory Byrne, and our outro is by Queens of the Stone Age. For more information/to become a patron of the show and hear all episodes of this season, visit patreon.com/mastas.
