[@blueshift9]

This is the crossover I never knew I needed

[@dead_lantern_gamer]

The guitar solo from "Pain" will creep into my brain probably once a year and I can't stop listening to it. Saw Jimmy Eat World back in college, rocking out to every song, sooooo good.

[@lanceblake8458]

That solo is fantastic

[@BUrtREYNOLDSjr.]

Now I hate the music because of u two

[@lanceblake8458]

Cool

[@SaveaShowerTakeaBath]

Danny explaining "toe ring bitches/3 hole gang" to Jimmy Eat World is hilarious, all while dressed like Vitos boy toy in season 6 of the Sopranos.

[@dustinparks9157]

Leather Danny

[@jugginator2.068]

It's gonna be a Vito Spatafore summer fellas

[@FetishForDestruction]

Lol Johnny Cakes

[@carpeimodiem]

Real ones alert!! 🚨🚨🚨 Immediately, Danny says he went through a bad break-up and listened to Clarity every day. If you know, you know.

[@kinsmanifesto1]

Yessss more content for musicians and producers! Thanks for this quality content Danny and the booth boys 🫡

[@braden_clancy11]

danny loving clarity was not at all what i was expecting but fuck that’s awesome

[@mattmac2652]

Fuck yes!!! Two worlds I love are colliding when I never would have ever thought.

[@novhmvthis]

Need Erick the Architect as a guest

[@soulless770]

preach!

[@spliffsoldier]

I WAS SPINNING FREE WOAHHOOOHHHHHUUUOOOO

[@cdizzy42069]

NHL 2003 soundtrack had that banger on there lol

[@fenner1122]

Sing it back

[@kwyatt261]

My favorite song of theirs. Sweetness

[@d3admane]

SINKING INTO SWEET UNCERTAINTY

[@ManateeMentality]

2:38 is an incredibly important lesson in creativity. Yes, you gotta chase the idea you’re excited about. But more importantly, you gotta know that it won’t necessarily lead where you’re thinking, and even though it doesn’t lead there, it may still have value elsewhere. “Don’t write yourself off yet.”

[@tigersteffi]

17:56 minutes in and this is incredible so far, exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you Danny and Jimmy Eat World. (Wild ass sentence to type.)

[@shortcuts2hell]

THIS EPISODE HAS BEEN CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR ME

[@FetishForDestruction]

MMM that's what I love about this show. He's done a couple like that so far for me. Atmosphere, Oliver Tree. Aesop Rock would be my dream. But yea that's all hip hop shit. Danny really is an eclectic guy and I feel like eventually there will be an episode for everyone.

[@genuinedelusionsmusic]

Saw JEW (never realized that was the acronym) at Calgary Stampede last year. One of my favourite shows. They play as good live as they do on the studio album. 🎙 killed it.

[@FONZEARELLANO]

Whoever books for the show. I'm tellin you. GET MORE EMO BANDS FOR DANNY!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@FetishForDestruction]

It's definitely a vibe. I feel like Danny has a different niche just coming from Detroit missing tooth gutter dope hip hop but also the other shit he digs. Now he's all calm and fancy and you can expect to see anyone on here and learn something that sticks with you between him and the guest. This could be bigger.

[@Lunchpgap]

they were my favorite band for a long time. they performed so tight live. love them.

[@PALEHORSE88]

" I'm not alone 'cause the tv's on yeah." " I'm not crazy 'cause I take the right pills everyday."

[@michelleloop2808]

Clarity every day helped a lot back in the day

[@chefhernjr4349]

Danny’s podcast have bloomed so lovely. Cant wait for more product.

[@benfranklin1507]

Danny listening to Clarity!? His legend only grows. Absolute national treasure and must be protected at all costs!!

[@TheBobSagat]

Great episode! This was a combo of people I hadn't considered before hahaha! Been a JEW fan for like 25 years, thanks for playing the entire Stay on My Side Tonight album in Lawrence in 2005 or 2006 during that tour it's still fire now

[@nickgriffin8344]

Clarity is one of my favorite albums of all time. I never thought I'd see this link-up but I'm all for it!!

[@chiiimo]

It's okay Danny. I still listen to clarity till this day 🥹

[@WormMaybe]

I literally listened to Futures for the first time ever yesterday this was one hell of a coincidence lol

[@bigbrainb4662]

Danny bringing back the heat with the Captain's hat again

[@AllieSizzle]

Whaaaat?!? Jimmy eat world?? Taking me back to my teen years today!!

[@ashmasterson314]

I needed this. calm interesting conversation. Thanks, Danny for having such broad influences and appreciations.

[@samantha.lawson]

What a pleasant surprise!! How nostalgic. 🥰

[@skeleton1337]

This was damn near an hour of straight wisdom

[@dfareyes87]

If you’re listening

[@Smebster]

WOAHOHOHOOH

[@TheLiuKang]

BEST SHOW ON THIS CHANNEL

[@robincho9175]

clarity reference is A+

[@rkdrama2443]

This band helped form my late teens and early 20s

[@HerculeanSon]

as a baby, my mom would put on the "the middle" video, song is in my fucking veins, hell yes.

[@kizwiz6]

This made me sub and introduced me to The Danny Brown Show. Love JEW.

[@afk_hesh]

Damn, Jimmy is so creatively intelligent. Great episode.

[@matthewsommerville88]

I wish more people were like Danny. Open minded

[@jamesmotiv8989]

HE'S A NEW JERSEY SUCCESS STOREY!!!

[@timothyherlihy6480]

I'm pumped on this episode!

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

never would've guessed danny was a huge fan lol

[@oxyehhotv]

Dude this is legendary episode, and very very theraputic for music creators...

[@suddenrephlex]

if you haven't shed a tear listening to table for glasses after a break up, you are not truly alive

[@YeeWins]

In the beginning, I thought, "I've never seen 2 people more awkward/uncomfortable in a room with a person of color in my life." But as I watched on, they got more and more relaxed and realized there was nothing to be nervous about. It was a great example of what Jimmy Eat World mentioned about learning from/about something/someone they're unfamiliar with. Great pod! An unexpected pairing but a great one nonetheless. Keep doin what you do! Love to Danny and the booth boys from STL.

[@alleynephoenix]

I'm stoked that they didn't have a clue why they were there, then 20 minutes in, it's the music. I love it so much, man. I'm seeing the guys at South Star festival for the first time ever and I'm more excited because of this! * Just noticed the acronym. Changing it.

[@nickolasemenger9000]

This is fucking awesome! Not likely to happen but I feel like Tim Kasher from Cursive would be a great guest!

[@davidb4935]

Hellll yes

[@KyleJaymesMusic]

I started sending my stuff to get professionally mixed a few years back and the demoitis is very real. It took a while for me to get used to hearing myself mixed and mastered, but glad I started putting that effort into it.

[@TheLanconater]

This made my day

[@OneManCanStopTheMotorOfWorld]

Jim used to be the studio right next to us, Jim has always been a class act. Jim is about the most un-rockstar rockstar in the business and we love him for that.

[@majinbobbyhill828]

I still come back to Sweetness to this day. I Appreciate this.

[@jeongieluvs]

I LOVE THIS BAND SO MUCH

[@novhmvthis]

Insane collab

[@tylerv7777]

Saw jimmy eats world in Alaska two years ago. Great show.

[@xkingtazx]

This is the most craziest collab ever. Wouldve never imagined

[@fantomlore222]

as artist who has lived some of these creative struggles in person . Yall r cooking . I’d pay a grip to listen to this n yall put it out for free s/o yall

[@LilLou97]

I remember seeing them open for The 1975 in Chicago years ago, shit was a blast yo!

[@kepler16b]

The hardest note to play is a rest. Damn. Too true

[@thegoonies08]

The puppy bowl be lit had me dying

[@COOKIEBUTTERBEATS]

Danny , check out Gloomchild, we are coming to Austin in June and would love to see you at the show!

[@palepally]

Bleed American is one of my all time favourite albums. Grew up listening to the CD play on a 25-disc stereo system before going to bed

[@alexsage672]

Absolute fire. 🙌❤️‍🔥

[@MR.FREEDMAN]

"It's that psychedelic head" 💀

[@neondarknessor]

I draw and paint. Pushing myself by learning new skills is how I keep myself inspired at 45. Currently learning how to sculpt. I'm sculpting while listening and I love any Art talk.🔥

[@braden_clancy11]

this makes me so fuckin happy oh my god i love this so much

[@sblnwwl]

4:45 Jim is like "da fuck you just say?"

[@josef2012]

God bless Danny's Willie Nelson necklace 🙏💗

[@byronpietersz3455]

Oww shit! These crossovers are wild 😄

[@noNdeSCRIpt732]

I think k the intro to this podcast is a good example of a good hook matched with great musical phrasing. Gets me hyped the fuck up everything. Danny can do hooks.

[@kaywop7582]

danny the people want bjork on the show

[@Heitzsche]

Holy shit Danny gets Clarity! (lol) One of my favorite records.

[@sambedingfield784]

Jimmy and Danny!? Vicious combo 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@xanthoussouls]

Hell yeah Jimmy Eat World was the first hoodie I ever had and I ripped through that and a pair of pants skateboard skitching. Gave a new meaning to Bleed American.

[@jasoncantrell7833]

Dude, this is a huge guest seriously

[@tristankrohn2942]

"Bleed American" is still in heavy rotation for me. Great music group

[@eddo00]

Jim's listening to his drummer face is exactly what I wanted... as a drummer😅

[@LonnieHutchinson90]

How the hell did y’all get them in the booth? lol it’s awesome and unexpected!

[@Clinton221087]

Man, Jimmy Eat World is such a good band. One of those bands you can listen to at any time.

[@dangbruhskyy]

Yup, I put incubus in there also

[@akillaonwax]

Danny your hat is totally Berlin Berghaim style :))

[@Aidizzle13]

“That psychedelic head!” 😂 🤣 😂

[@Cyge240sx]

I still jam to these guys at least 2 times a month

[@Mikey.M.V.P.1]

(May Angel's lead you in) is a massively poignant song to me. We played that song at my mums funeral as me & my brothers carried my mums casket it was such a beautiful song to send my mum off on her final journey I still shed a tear if that songs plays any where. even tho a whole decade has passed by it felt that song was written just for her 😢😢 R.I.P MUM❤

[@cdizzy42069]

This is such an odd combo, but I'm totally here for it. Became a fan of Jimmy Eat World after hearing Sweetness as a kid playing the NHL 2003 game on PS2

[@Inmotionplays]

Awesome unexpected guests 👏

[@Aidizzle13]

Need Meechy Darko on as a guest!! 🧟

[@joshuacarrey9318]

[@Dan-qy3td]

Man this after the Q interview was great, so sick to hear artists from different ends of the spectrum just talk about the creative process. More musician guests!!

[@adamgil7346]

Look at Danny looking like a leather daddy!

[@asidfishy]
