Steven and Ian begin with a cute story about Michael Stipe logging into Bluesky and clarifying commonly misstated lyrics for R.E.M.'s "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)," the latest stop on the band's world-class old-guy retirement (1:43). They also talk about news that Radiohead is going back on the road for the first time in seven years (8:13).

Steven also does a quick Sportscast on the Packers acquiring Micah Parsons, and what this means for the team's Super Bowl chances (13:16). From there, they do an update on the Fantasy Albums Draft, which looks very close (18:33). Then they review the new Big Thief album, and discuss where one of the most acclaimed indie bands of recent years stands now (26:15). After that, they do a "yay or nay" segment on Slipknot (43:36).

In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about post-hardcore band La Dispute and Steven goes for '90s-style country singer Zach Top (47:43).
