Wisconsin resident here: the fact that Matty shouted out Solly’s Grille & Kopp’s Custard made my entire month

Matty Matheson is our generation’s Bob Ross

[@x.BRAiNZ.x]

Not even gonna lie Matty Matheson put me on to God’s Hate years ago and so many other bands from his banging playlist!

[@xyourarsonistx3826]

I love this idea of getting non-musician punk and hard-core persona on the podcast, keep up the fine work gentlemen

[@dajovajr]

Matty name dropping erie HC bands. Hell yes

[@tru_squid8641]

It’s my Day off time for some hardlore

[@BADXSEED69]

At this point we could watch Matty watch paint dry and it would be highly entertaining. Incredible guest and episode.

[@akukta]

The last 15 minutes had me crying laughing. Completely unhinged. Best episode yet.

[@AaronXRus]

Some fun Dayton, Ohio lore for you… years ago Will Smith almost produced a show about Courage Crew. It was because his wife played in Wicked Wisdom which played with Bury Your Dead and they all became friends

[@BassWithRob]

friends of the show rejoice it’s hardlore time!

[@Annoying_Customer]

This was so beautiful.

[@sophiayee6604]

I love that MM knows Poison the Well. Despite that it's towards their end but every band is a journey and I connect. Food and music for life.

[@chestermahogany2155]

if Matty became the most featured guest I certainly wouldn't be mad about it

[@steffanrost6176]

Been real stoked for this one. Wouldn't be where I'm at today without matty's influence. Knowing that a goofy ass tattooed hardcore kid could make it in the culinary world was such an inspiration for an aimless hardcore kid like myself. Much love and excitement.

[@the_real_tay_loud2072]

Preach🙌 he’s why I decided to stay in the industry but unfortunately we are a rare breed but I’m sure that’s changing already

[@mb9284]

I think your first mistake is referring to yourself as a “hardcore kid”

[@RobExNihilo]

​​@@mb9284I cannot fathom the staggering ignorance it would take for a person to come to a Hardlore video, a Matty video, and get butthurt when someone inevitably uses the phrase, "hardcore kid." I mean, 54:52 lol Get bent.

[@mb9284]

@@RobExNihiloI’m not butt hurt, just like referring to myself as a man, not a kid. It must suck to get your autism triggered

[@archieboy7858]

Working in kitchens, and living in Buffalo, I’ve ran into Matty a few times. It’s always funny having a conversation with him when he’s not being the character he has become. He’s just a genuinely good dude.

[@FORRESTFIRE718]

When Matty dropped Skycamefalling my jaw dropped total blast from the past . Fucking awesome

[@logancook3292]

Shout out to Murder Weapon, first hardcore band I ever heard, Richmond Hardcore!

[@hxcnoel]

Dang, Dodgin Bullets brought back some memories...

[@tylercarman2010]

This was great!!

[@HurricaneXXIII]

Shout out to Mr. Stout! Best teacher in our middle school.

[@CHRlSBLAlN]

This may be the best podcast episode ever. Well done

[@Cappa401]

Just seeing this and Matty feels like family to me, love the guy !! P.S. I come from dysfunction !

[@Carlo.WTF416]

Got some vids on my channel of Hardcore shows that happened at The Shop @Parts & Labour during it’s run, if anyone’s interested. It’s no longer a venue for hardcore/punk/metal shows, but as a Filipino coreman, I find it kinda cool it’s turned into a nightclub/cultural hub for Toronto’s Filipino community.

[@bradleyd4785]

This is amazing Matty is an absolute angel ❤

[@davidprice6334]

I relate to Matty in so many different ways from this interview that it's wild.

[@ultrawolflord8495]

Didn’t realize Matty was from my city (Saint John, New Brunswick). At least according to wikipoodia

[@rayxiv974]

Matty mentioning Hammock is everything. I'm with I'm, I listen to that good ambient music all the time. Steadies the nerves

[@loganyoung2408]

Long live post rock ❤

[@manismostlywater]

Hammock all time band for me since their near beginning-no joke. Love it so much

[@manismostlywater]

​@@loganyoung2408huge old post rock fan....they are much more though. Ambient first. Mixed. But truly more than just post rock.

[@refused1]

Shouts from Toronto, a quality episode boys.

[@diazable]

from one matt to another matty. thank you for giving me more motivation for my clothing brand. im just not there yet, and i need to to take those steps and keep working at it until i get there ^^ such a great episode guys

[@dep6898]

Genuinely top 3 podcast episodes ever

[@schizophrenicdolphinz9822]

i listened on spotify at work and i just gotta say this so the greatest post cast episode i’ve ever listened to . and matty and you guys have said some of the most relatable honest inspiring things . even probably not on purpose but this shit hit

[@SleezyRider883]

The best part about everyone having a podcast.. everyones got a podcast even if you dont find it until a year after it comes out lmao

[@bendude]

i love this podcast so much - No shame around Bidets. Colin with the "there is no such thing as unskilled labor". Mad respect

[@the_real_tay_loud2072]

Letssss get it!!! Another living legend on the show! Hardlore from Bos apartment🙏🙌

this is my favorite part of waking up on thursdays

[@jordancornell9364]

Don’t think I’ve seen anything with Matty being so…matty and not the yelling and loud matty, which is great too, but it’s so rad seeing him just be so relaxed Master killer of guests

[@mcvc]

also i definitely remember being at shows at the cobalt on a wednesday night where Colin was a very young man playing drums

[@JL-em5ks]

Hammock is such a good band.

[@alexkenley1]

what an insane conversation trajectory LOL

[@pyre9701]

Everything about this was sick except the hate for Green Room

[@biggamer221]

friends of the show!

[@slicky5551]

Matty is the shit. Coming from Buffalo and owned my own restaurant and can relate to everything he says gives me shivers..

Wow! Dropping some old school christian hardcore names Dodgin Bullets, Shock Wave, Disciple and early christian Underoath. Figure Four was another one from Canada. Point of Recognition and Overcome were awesome as well.
