Each episode, join long-time collaborators and best pals Brian Altano and Max Scoville as they focus on a different subject, ask themselves what’s so great about it, share some anecdotes about how they grew to love it, unearth some trivia about it, and celebrate the fact that it exists.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-thing-rules-7009668"},"episode":{"title":"Concerts Rule!","slug":"concerts-rule","published_at":"2025-07-04T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-thing-rules-7009668/concerts-rule","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/this-thing-rules-7009668","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thisthingrules/episodes/Concerts-Rule-e350c26","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/f4b56fa4/podcast/play/104918534/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-6-2%2Fe48f21cf-e8b9-27c3-ec19-835b7ef9eae7.mp3","summary":"Concerts! One of the most expensive and exhausting ways to lose hearing and form lasting memories, this week we’re discussing our own histories seeing live music. From Brian’s countless hip-hop shows in New York City to Max’s repeated accidental patronage of Jefferson Starship, we have plenty of anecdotes. Are they more entertaining than attending an actual concert yourself? No. Is the audio quality better? Eh, debatable. Would we charge you 23 dollars for a beer? Never! It would totally rule if you helped support the show on Patreon at patreon.com/thisthingrules, You can also show your support by following us on Bluesky and Twitter @ThisThingRules, or find our little corner of our old podcast’s Discord at discord.comedybutton.com - and of course, we’re always happy to get email from listeners at thisthingruleshow@gmail.com Intro contains clips from Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Heavy Metal Parking Lot, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and The Simpsons.","meta_description":"Concerts!
