EPISODE SUMMARY:
Say what you will about proto funk punkers Red Hot Chili Peppers, there's no denying the impact they've had on the culture writ large. Their sound is an amalgamation of many things, yet is wholly unique. Their hits are earworms you can't escape. Their members have made countless appearances across the pop culture landscape. And yet for some reason there are few bands people enjoy hating on more. But for comedian Ryan Long, they were an integral part of his formative years, and their 1991 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik still informs his taste to this day.
