May 19, 2026, was the fortieth anniversary of Peter Gabriel’s So (1986). That album happens to be Kousin Tim’s (and one of Ze German’s) favorite album. Kousin Tim walked the other Kousins and the Asylum Inmates through the album track-by-track with some deep-dive producer notes kind of stuff, and stories he has collected over the years.

Calls from Christy Kirk, Jim from Irwin, Bruno from Calm South Africa, Eugene B Sims of Wheeler’s Dog Podcast, Nick Provenzano from the “Bay,” and Uncle StevAie.

The whole gang was back together again for the first time in a month or so, and they didn’t come alone. Asylum Inmate, Jim from Irwin, was on the show as well. The battle talk had been picking up since JFI said he’d challenge Kousin Gary in a Gladiator battle to defend Night Ranger. So, to keep it fair, the albums chosen were Night Ranger’s Greatest Hits (1989), which JFI defended, vs. Journey’s Greatest Hits (1988).

To reiterate the rules, the winner can either go first or defer their pick after a coin flip. The first selector chooses their “gladiator” or song for battle. After a short listen, the opponent chooses the song (or gladiator) to battle the round’s opening song. The other two Kousins then vote for the winner. The two pickers can also change their vote if they choose to. Whichever song has the most votes… wins. If there’s a tie, well, wait and see. Each combatant has two deferrals (outside the opening coin flip) they can use for the battle.

How did it turn out? You know the deal, you have to listen.

There was calls from Bruno from Sunny South Africa, Eugene B Sims from Wheeler’s Dog Podcast, Nick Provenzano from Northern California, and Jim from Irwin.

Without picking an album, what do you think a good battle between songs from these compilations would be?

Kousin Ray had to handle some family business and was unable to be on, but Kousin Tim, Kousin Gary, and Kousin Marvin held down the fort and did yet another album that was “out of Kousin Tim’s comfort zone,” so to speak. KT has never shied away from the fact that he’s not a huge Aerosmith fan. Well, next week will be the 50th anniversary of their album Rocks (1976), and it was KT who suggested the Kousins cover it. How did he like it? Or did he at all? You have to listen to find out.

Calls from Bruno from Sometimes Summery/Sometimes Dreary and Rainy South Africa, Jem from Alabama, Jim from Irwin, and Eugene B. Sims from Wheeler’s Dog Podcast.

Have you heard Aerosmith’s Rocks? Did you like, did you hate it, were you indifferent?
