Holy nostalgia, Batman! This one is packed to the gills with everything from the turn of the 21st century, including but limited to nu metal, boy bands, SpongeBob, JNCO jeans, TRL, low rise jeans, the dot com bubble, and of course, Y2K.

That's not all of course. We also recap our recent watch of the 1974 cult classic film Zardoz starring Sean Connery, Fleetwood Mac's Rumors, and the highlights from Rob's most recent tour opening for the east coast rap duo ShrapKnel. PLUS: Colin does a Limited Recall on Steven Segal's 1992 hit movie: Under Siege.

Welp! We managed to slip ALL THE WAY into darkness for this one. Just like little Alan Parrish slipped into the jungle some call Jumanji and be stuck there for 26 whole years in total darkness. That's 6894.5 days alone and being hunted... Holy mackerel, how did we not realize how dark this 1995 film starring Robin Williams and Kirsten Dunst really was?! It's Probin' Time!

And that's not even the depths of the Pit this week. We also look into a seemingly meaningless name that most people have never come across, only to find the unnecessary honoring of one a man up for the Worst Human All Time award. That man is William S. Harney, an excessively violent racist that took pleasure in being at the forefront of the theft of this land from the indigenous people of this land.

We don't go too deep into details, but still, trigger warning.

The para-social relationship that with we have with celebrities is perhaps the deepest and strongest with artists. Those who put their emotionality into a consumable product in order for others to take a better peek into the human experience. Art has the capacity to take an emotional situation that largely takes place on a personal level (in our own head) and express it so that others can not only relate to it, but find a tribe of like minded individuals, thus, removing the weight of supposed isolation.

Janis Joplin. Jimi Hendrix. Jim Morrison. Kurt Cobain. There are so many great artists that we lost early, and coincidentally, a handful of notable people died at the same age within a short period of time. That age was of course 27. We decided to learn about the history of the 27 Club, the members, and a few possible explanations. That's right! It's Probin' Time!

This week we welcome in an absolute beast of the independent hip hop scene, the illustrious Curly Castro. One half of Shrapknel, a member of the Wrecking Crew, and co-host of the Call Out Culture Podcast, Castro joins us today to discuss his upcoming record titled Yaphet which will be released September 18 2026.

But that's not all. Being The Nostalgia Pit, we had to talk about comic books, making bootlegs in the 90s & early 00s, reggae riddums, and so much more... Make sure to check out Yaphet when it drops. In the meantime, go check all his past music. You won't be disappointed.

The final bracket of the season: we talk the oughts. Everything from trucker hats & frosted tips to Napster & the first iPod. But that's not all, of course.

We also discuss flip phones, Homestar Runner, soap shoes, the emo phase, The Sopranos and the Atkins diet to name a few things that connote the 2000s.

We did it, folks. Another one in the bag... It's the season 6 finale, and that means our time honored tradition: the mailbag. We gathered questions from our listeners and did just what they asked for: answered them.

We talk everything from video game systems to the hollow moon theory and so much more. Plus, some teasers for what is to come in season 7. Thanks for sticking with us all these years!

Did Paul McCartney ACTUALLY die in 1966 in car crash? Was this the real reason The Beatles grew facial hair?! Maybe it's the reason they stopped touring?!? Drinks w/ Ron takes us through the life, times, and music of arguably the biggest band of all time, and perhaps one of the biggest cover ups ever...

With clues scattered throughout movies, music, interviews, interludes, and more, it could only take a true detective to sleuth the truth out of this one.

This week we welcome the legendary hip hop producer and photodump specialist Blockhead back into the Pit! As it’s been so long since his last appearance, we were absolutely brimming with things to talk about.

So of course, we do a lightweight Song Spelunker into the one and only Ganksta N-I-P, talk more awful pizza, and talk his upcoming project Boatshoes with Brian Ennals. We also talk about trading mixtapes on message boards in the late 90s, and how Blockhead managed to distribute his and Aesop Rock’s music without typical distribution.

And if you enjoy what we are doing here at the Pit and would like to support us further, please check us out our patreon, where you can access our brand new exclusive podcast:
