## Episode Guide

"Time Crisis, in a time of crisis. United by FaceTime to make this Time Crisis. On this episode, we talk Red Hot Chili Peppers. Also, Munch's Make Believe Band. All that, plus the Top Five hits of 1977 and 2020. This is a spicy, Neapolitan Time Crisis."

## Episode

### Topics

The Crew rekindle the debate on the greatest American rock band, throwing the Beach Boys and the Eagles into the mix before diving into Aerosmith and their "nasty" sound. Punk and indie legends such as the Ramones and the Velvet Underground are also discussed, as well as U2 and R.E.M. The group touch on the similarly "nasty" sound of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and try to decide whether the first cup of coffee of the day should be hot or iced. Listener emails spark an in-depth conversation on Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theater. The recent scandal over the name-change to Pasqually's Pizza and Wings is covered before Jake provides a history of the company and it's beginnings with Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell. Pasqually is deemed to be an underrated and overlooked character in the Chuck E. Cheese Extended Universe after the Crew reads his extensive officical backstory. The Top Five provides the soundtrack to the unmade Nolan Bushnell biopic starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and the Crew talk about rappers including more references to Jeff Bezos in their lyrics.
