In honor of this tremendous record, I brought my friend Thomas Fine on to discuss the greatness of the album, and pick our favorite tracks. Thomas Fine is an old band mate of mine, we spent many years traveling up and down the state and inside practice rooms making music in The Iron Heart & Once Over. It was great to catch up with him and talk about one of our mutually favorite albums. Arcade Fire are a Canadian band wh...
2020-08-051h 02All the Things w/ JoeloneEp34: Top 5 Neon Trees Songs!One of my favorite bands, Neon Trees, just released their brand new record. It's called "I Can Feel You Forgetting Me", and it's fantastic! In honor of that, I decided to do a quick solo pod counting down my top 5 favorite Neon Trees songs from their catalog. Neon Trees are an indie pop band with a punk like speed and 80s new wave/pop style, and are pretty much what I would consider the perfect band. Not heavy, but fast and sometimes intense lyrically, they blend the rock and pop and make wonderful music.Singer T...
2020-07-2925 minAll the Things w/ JoeloneEp33: Guilty Pleasure Music w/ Jamie ReynoldsWe all have those artists ... We all have those songs that we love but we're embarrassed to admit it. Although I would say I'm not embarrassed, I fully support these artists with all my heart - but maybe I should be embarrassed? Should I show shame for music I think is awesome?The real question I suppose is, just because I think it's awesome, is it ACTUALLY awesome? Well, as I've said before - music is subjective! My version of awesome can be your version of guilty pleasure, and that's why these lists are great. Some of...
2020-07-2256 minAll the Things w/ JoeloneEp32: HAMILTON Discussion + Top 3 Songs w/ Erin Brock, Christine Brock & Little Brother Zack FennieI've mentioned the musical Hamilton many times on the podcast - and due to its recent release on Disney Plus, a lot of my inner circle have been talking and dreaming about Hamilton too! I can't even do justice to how awesome it is. I picked 3 songs like we all did, but I easily could have picked 3 other songs, or any of the songs my guests picked. The songs are just that damn good (like Triple H) and my favorites change from listen to listen. Not only is the play now available on Disney plus, bu...
2020-07-151h 34All the Things w/ JoeloneEp31: Top 5 "AMERICAN" Movies!Last weekend, non-related to it being the 4th of July - I watched a few movies that got me feeling patriotic. They weren't necessarily patriotic movies, just some movies that presented a little slice of Americana, a little taste of what America feels like to me. That got me wondering about other movies like that, movies that make me feel and love being American. This is not a definitive list, this is just 5 movies I thought of and decided fit into this category. Five movies I really like, five movies that have distinctive American feeling and might m...
2020-07-0832 minAll the Things w/ JoeloneEp30: "White Pony" by Deftones - Classic Album Breakdown w/ Zak FennieOn Classic Album Breakdown I will choose a record that I have deemed worthy to be dubbed a "classic", and I will bring on some friends to break it down. We'll discuss the history and significance of the record, as well as where the artist was at during that period of their career. The first album I decided to break down is a newly 20-year old classic, "White Pony" by the Deftones. This record just turned 20, and it is especially important to me, as Deftones has always been one of my favorite bands, and this was arguably t...
2020-07-011h 11All the Things w/ JoeloneEp29: Top 5 Albums by New Found GlorySolo pod today! One of my favorite bands, New Found Glory, released their 10th album last week, so it inspired me to dive back into their catalog and I've come up with my top 5 list.

They always put on a great live show and their fans are loyal and diehard.Their new album, "Forever + Ever x Infinity" is out now, go pick it up! And dive back into their catalog with m...
2020-06-2438 minAll the Things w/ JoeloneEp28: Top 5 NBA Teams of the 1980s w/ Brendon Freeman & Josh FleischAnother trip to the 1980s, this time talking a little hoops. I brought on two of my oldest and dearest friends, Brendon Freeman & Josh Fleisch, to discuss all things 80s NBA.

It was a fun romp through time, chatting about and seeing the stats of some of the...
2020-06-171h 18All the Things w/ JoeloneEp27: Top 5 Albums of 2000 w/ Bianca Rumbaugh & Michael RoseThe year 2000! That was a whole 20 years ago, which is insanity! 2000 was a peak year for music in my life, it was a key year to developing my tastes and there were some really profound records that came out that year. I brought in my friends Bianca & Michael to talk about the year that was in music of 2000, and to count down our top 5 records that were released in that year. The lists are definitely pretty rangy, just like music was in general back then, and it was a fun countdown.From Outkast to Deftones, W...
2020-06-101h 23All the Things w/ JoeloneEp26: Movie Talk w/ Erin & Joel - Maleficent 1 & 2Today's episode is a new idea for All the Things. I brought back friend of the pod Erin Brock to breakdown and discuss a movie (or in this case, movies). This was a ton of fun and definitely something we will do again. Erin and I love movies, and our specific tastes are pretty different which I can only imagine will lead to fun banter.This episode is focused on two movies, Disney's 2014 film "Maleficent" and the 2019 followup "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil". We go in depth on the highs and lows of the plot, and a...

Tristan comes back on the pod to discuss a subject dear to our hearts: classic Nintendo games! We're both the same age, and we both grew up with similar stories about getting and playing the classic NES system. Our lists are a little similar, which is interesting considering the mass amount of produced NES games - but all that means is that the best games were clear. We did discuss about how hard it was to come up wi...

2020-04-081h 07All the Things w/ JoeloneEp17: Top 5 WrestleMania Matches from Past 10 YearsWrestleMania is coming up THIS WEEKEND! It's going to be "historical" as they say, because it's the first Mania without a crowd due to this awful coronavirus pandemic. I am just thankful they're still having it - as pretty much all other live entertainment has been shut down in the mean time. With Mania looming, I thought it would be fun to dip back into the history of WrestleMania. Being so vast and having 35 years to choose from, I narrowed it down to the last 10 years and chose my 5 favorite matches from WrestleMania's 25-35. There was a l...

I am joined by local Napkins Tristan Cline & Erin Brock, two folks who love their local food. During this time of "sheltering in place", a lot of businesses and people have suffered. It's important to support local businesses as much as we can, and Napa happens to have a lot of great restaurants that need us now. We aren't able to go eat at these places right now, but most everywhere is offering takeout or delivery. Interested in some great Mexican? Maybe you prefer Italian? Sushi? Ch...
2020-03-2554 minAll the Things w/ JoeloneEp15: Top 5 Napa Eats (Part 1) w/ Tristan Cline & Erin BrockThis is a topic I have been wanting to do for a few weeks. It came about that this week was going to be the week to do it, and the day we sat down to record it, the Governor of California declared that all restaurants should decrease their capacity by 50%. Since then, most restaurants in the Bay Area and in California have been relegated to take out and delivery only - as we talk about in the episode.So, while we're all sitting at home, we've gotta eat right? The grocery stores are not as stocked...
