Clothed Men Discuss Barenaked Ladies Podcast

Chris and Ephraim are two Canadian pals, chatting about a beloved Canadian band, The Barenaked Ladies, album by album. They are wearing clothes the whole time

In Flight

The Clothed Men are back to talk about the latest release from BNL, In Flight! Is this album actually a concept album or is Chris trying to make his wild theories fit into a mould that won’t have them? Is this album just plain boring or borderline offensive? And is this album going to be the breaking point for this podcast? Learn the answers to all these questions by having a listen to an episode that, as Ephraim puts it, is “only 65% as salty as we thought”. Still, that’s a lot of salt!

Rock Spectacle

It's been a minute since the last episode, so what better way to celebrate a long delay by...covering a live album from over 25 year ago?! The Clothed Men sure ARE, because this collection of live tracks from the early days of the band is an absolute banger! Is there a more perfect time capsule of an artist on the cusp of absolute mega-stardom? How crazy is it that the deep cuts of today were setlist staples in '96? And isn't it refreshing to hear a live recording of BNL that DOESN'T include the Big Bang Theory Theme? Plus! Hear about what's currently happening in Chris and Ephraim's lives from a recording that was over 5 months ago!

Barenaked @ The Molson Amphitheatre

It's a stroll down memory lane (even more so than usual) for the Clothed Men as Ephraim and Chris discuss their experiences with BNL live in concert! They break down what makes a BNL concert so special (spoiler: it's mostly the rapping), their individual concert stories, and the time they went to the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto together back in 2013 and had very little idea who Ben Folds was! PLUS: An insight into the anxiety of home ownership! Have we jumped the shark like Ephraim claims? Tune in to find out! (NOTE: Because Chris was being naughty by recording this episode during work, audio quality may not be as good as previous episodes due to a makeshift studio setup on his part. Please don't tell his boss. Or if his boss is listening: sorry Dean).

Barenaked For The Holidays

After 2 Seasons, it's only natural that the Clothed Men would drop a Holiday Special! Chris and Ephraim break out the ugly sweaters and sit down with a glass of 'nog and a bowl of Dijon Ketchup'd Kraft Dinner to discuss 2004's Barenaked For The Holidays! How terrific are the Public Access Synth tracks throughout the album? Who knew a song about a domestic fight in the freezing cold would make it onto a Christmas album? And, really, just how much more famous did Michael Buble become IMMEDIATELY after this album, and is that just a coincidence?? Deck the Halls, 'cause we're having a ball discussing all 21 (TWENTY ONE??) tracks on this absolute classic holiday banger!

Top Tens!

Season 2 rolls on with Ephraim and Chris revealing their Top Ten Lists! Now that the Clothed Men have discussed each BNL Studio Album at length, it's time to talk about where they rank in order of preference. In addition, a separate Top Ten BNL Song List is put forward by both hosts. Are there any crossovers? Does "Maybe You Should Drive" still get the hate from Chris and Ephraim as it did all first season (spoiler: probably)? And does Chris get away with trying to insert random B Sides and Bonus Tracks into his Top Ten? Seems kinda sketchy... Follow Clothed Men Discuss Barenaked Ladies on Twitter (@CMDBNL)!

Detour de Force

The Clothed Men are BACK for a new season of CMDBNL! After nearly a year (sorry about that) of absence from the airwaves, Chris and Ephraim return to do a live listen of the most recent Barenaked Ladies album "Detour de Force"! Neither has heard the album going into this recording, so all impressions are off the cuff and uninfluenced by repeat listens or re-evaluation. What do the Clothed Men think of BNL's newest outing? How excited are they that THE JAZZ returns? And, even though this is a podcast dedicated to one band, there is a LOT of love heaped on fellow Canadian Artist Donovan Woods!

Fake Nudes

Twelve Albums later, and here we are at the Season Finale of CMDBNL! Before Chris and Ephraim get into live releases, novelty releases, and NEW releases, they need to wrap up Season One by discussing Fake Nudes. Why was THIS the name that BNL decided on? Why does Jim Creegan only get one track and Kevin Hearn gets SIX? and could this album possibly have the most abrupt tonal shift (PUN!) in Barenaked Ladies history? PLUS: Ephraim and Chris fantasize about an Ed Robertson, Alan Doyle, Jim Cuddy Traveling Wilburys-esque supergroup

Silverball

Well that was....an extended hiatus! After life got in the way, the Clothed Man are back Discussing Barenaked Ladies, just like before the huge break! Chris and Ephraim get into Silverball, the 11th album from BNL. Which came first: the pinball hobby or the concept for the album? Does this album contain possibly the most personal track written by a band member? And if this is a BNL podcast, why do the guys go on a 5 minute tangent about The Who? PLUS: For one of the shortest albums in the discography, why is this the LONGEST episode of the series??
