With Agent Emi

"Real Catalytic Converters" only consist of the OG two-way converters from the 70s and the refined three-way converters of the 80s. What is known as "aftermarket universal converters" is nothing but knockoff emissions tech with questionable real catalytic influence. When people try to argue that modern, high-flow converters are not real catalytic converters, while saying that OEM converters are, I can't help but cringe because they are just as fake catalytic as cheap eBay parts (plus the inefficiency). Real catalytic converters work CLEANLY, EFFECTIVELY, and somewhat MERCILESSLY against hydrocarbons. Fake converters are inefficient, poorly designed, and a failed attempt to direct exhaust gases and reduce pollution properly. Some examples of REAL CATALYTIC CONVERTERS are the OG Johnson Matthey designs, CARB-certified units, and genuine OEM Toyota converters. Some examples of FAKE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS are knockoff eBay parts, test pipes labeled as "performance converters," and anything labeled “universal” that can’t even pass an emissions test. CATALYTIC CONVERTERS BELONG TO EMISSIONS CONTROL, NOT TO PERFORMANCE MODDERS, CHEAP MANUFACTURERS, OR ANY OTHER POLLUTION-IGNORING TREND.

HI TANDY!!!!

hi agent emiii

Bello

bellooooooo

is maryland also encrusted in snow

Yes it is snow-encrusted so I just changed my screen name to reflect that

glorious i love it

Our townhouse association's snow removal service did their job last night in the dark so our parking lots and sidewalks are cleared. But the county hasn't plowed our side-street yet. So, we are inside listening to WPRB :-D

hahah that is beautiful, sounds like a pretty solid day

yoyoyo lalalalalalalalala

Solid indeed. One place on the street I took 4 consecutive steps and the snow/sleet mix was so solid that my weight didn't cause the snow/sleet to collapse. And I weigh 165 pounds!

gagent gemi 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

LUCY LOML I LOVE UOU

omg skinny mini Rob

Hello Emi Lucy p4tti TAndy Althea

hi rorb

me when I'm rlyrly mad cuz my mom won't let me on the computer after 8pm and also THE ORCHESTRA is in the living room

lello hucy

TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME

Just got in from a walk on the glacier for some Chinese takeout with my zaza machine in tow. This is the perfect show for today lol

guys idek anymore, no matter how i define post hard core or metal core i get roasted so i give up

TAndy youre my spirit animal

Here's my opinion on that

Post hardcore is for the geeks and nerds. Metalcore is for the metalheads who call themselves metalheads.

i'm totally borrowing this definition

painfully accurate

I'm post-hardcore. Because I no longer listen to (early 80s) hardcore

I'd also lump the scene kids and anyone who likes crunkcore (🥀) with people who call it metalcore

bye that's so funny Rob, i too am in that way post hardcore

What the heck is crunkcore?

crunkcore is a crazy pull brah

So I probably won't like it

erm it's like hardcore with like kind of hip hop? idek what to classifyt it as, help me tandy

Can you name a crunkcore group?

Oh good lord. From the wiki for Crunkcore "Crunkcore combines the post-hardcore genres of screamo and emo with hip-hop, particularly the Southern hip-hop genre crunk, along with electronic music such as electropop, dance, pop, rock, and the metal genres of nu metal and metalcore." SO MANY GENRES I CAN'T EVEN KEEP UP

LMAO hence my confcusion

i think "i set my freinds on fire" is kind of crunkcore??

Crunkcore is glam metal for internet age millennials

*Goes back to listening to Horsegirl and Phoebe Bridgers*

I Set My Friends On Fire "their debut album, You Can't Spell Slaughter Without Laughter" okay ;-)

"glam metal for internet age millennials" you have such a way with words lmaooo

😇

*underoath!!!

omg i love they're album "they're only chasing safety"

SUP MIKE G

Thanks Agent Emi for taking the reins on today's show!

yeeee! the rosasharin had an early underoath feel, " they're only chasing safety" is a true all timer for me! i have a memory of seeing them for that tour, BUT i didn't really go to hardcore shows, and i dont remember them playing with coheed, but there's a chance i saw them in philly for that! sup tandy!!!

That I Am Disaster was the best song of the show so far

i guess small chance they played with coheed and three, but i really dont think so think im making it up anyway still love that album, distinctly remember watching the video for the single on mtv X( or whatever alt music show they had), that and alexisonfire

Love this too. Love this whole set ngl

yassssssss rosasharin is goated

@Agent Emi (host) Super show! It's been stoking me up as I excavate my car from the apocolypti-snow.

One helpful (I hope) hint from a born & bred Jersey boy ... in the PSA for the food charity, the name of the city & county Passaic is pronounced pah-SAY-ick. :-)
