Congo, Curses, and Pre-Existing Conditions (ft. Living Conditions)

This episode goes completely off the rails in the best way possible. Eric and Matt from the band Living Conditions stop by to talk chaotic screamo, growing up on hardcore music, and how to explain your band to someone who huffs paint. From there… things spiral. We debate whether the movie Congo is secretly one of the greatest films ever made, pitch the idea of a full Congo musical, and try to figure out what exactly the Mandela Effect is doing to our brains. Along the way we cover cursed sports fandom, questionable haircut experiences at Sports Clips, meatball subs at 4AM, fictional characters who definitely vape, and whether anyone should ever use the bathroom on an airplane. Also discussed: sleepwalking, participation trophies, moving to the country, model train addictions, and what our life’s purpose might actually be. It’s chaotic, it’s ridiculous, and it’s exactly what you’d expect from Stop It with Zach Peterson. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
