About the episode

In a very special 100th episode, Rob looks back at the records his parents played downstairs when he was supposed to be sleeping. Oh, and of course he dedicates a significant amount of time praising the band that unlocked 90 percent of his then-12-year-old identity, They Might Be Giants. Later, rapper and host of ‘What Had Happened Was,’ Open Mike Eagle, joins Rob to discuss his shared love for They Might Be Giants and how “Birdhouse in Your Soul” forever changed his perception of music at a young age.
