Sam Freeman visits the Gateway to talk about the album "Dookie" by Green Day. Sam explains how, as a preadolescent in Ottawa, Canada,  the alienation expressed in the album reflected his burgeoning feelings of being an outsider. And then ironically when he moved to Berlin it was that same music of alienation that helped him make friends, create art, find a girlfriend, and most importantly belong. Along the way he and Howard talk about the other titans of mid-90s California Pop-Punk and then they share songs that make them feel a satisfying feeling of  being sadly in love.

74. Sam Freeman: "Dookie" by Green Day

It's our show's 4 year anniversary, so we celebrate by talking about how we met our life partners! Does being a self-sufficient bassoonist make you sexy? Does being hyper-critical of people groups you belong to make you a bad person? How do you make a relationship last long-term? How do you motivate yourself to go to the gym? Why doesn't Lou Dobbs know how to pronounce Pikachu?
