At the outset, we represent a good spectrum of views: Wolfie is 100% no opinion on the album; Scott leans more positive but is in the middle and has some dislikes; and Chaz is … appreciative as a student of Edward Van Halen, and empathetic to his artistic cause, but not a big fan of the final output overall. To put it mildly. How Many Say Why is all they could be heard muttering to themselves, in a sea-shanty sort of sway. How Many Say Why? How Many Say Why?","last_synced_at":"2026-06-10T10:18:29.570839+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/regarding-series-7062768"},"episode":{"title":"S4. Episode 4.

From there, things go off the rails: Corey calls the track “U2-like” and “Tom Petty-esque,” which is basically the podcasting equivalent of pushing Kevin Brown off a cliff in a straight-jacket. Somewhere out there, Kevin’s ears are bleeding while Chaz argues this is a dirge, Wolfie swears it’s hopeful, and Michael Pastore just wants to call it a breakup song.The song itself? A stripped-back, unusually sad moment in the Slang experiment, or even the entire Def Leppard catalog, with Joe saying it’s about “birth, death, and divorce” while Rick Savage once claimed it was about a man dying of AIDS. Whatever the truth, there’s no sugar or sparkle—just regret, grief, and one of Leppard’s rawest ever recordings.This episode features:🎸 A fight over whether Joe Elliott’s lyrics are Dylan-esque genius or just “serviceable”, and why Paul Simon is a \"punk\" 🥁 Why the stripped-down recording makes it sound almost live in the studio 🤔 Debating why Peter Gabriel gets praised for world music experiments while Def Leppard gets their nuts roasted 📻 A completely unnecessary but inevitable and enjoyable digression into Traveling Wilburys fan casting 🗳️ No clear verdict—just confusion, conflict, and the creeping suspicion Kevin Brown may never speak to Corey againHidden gem? Funeral dirge? Def Leppard’s most un-Leppard moment? Whatever it is, the Tom Petty-esque comparis…","meta_description":"Episode 4: All I Want Is EverythingThis week, your Regarding…Slang hosts Wolfie, Scotzo, podcasting overlord Corey, and Chaz are joined by Michael Pastore…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":5829,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/regarding-series-7062768/episodes/s4-episode-4-all-i-want-is-everything/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/regarding-series-7062768/s4-episode-4-all-i-want-is-everything.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
