Andy & Nick waste NO TIME flinging friendly fire at their reggae-adjacent frenemies (you know who you are) and diving ankle-deep into the murky waters of Indianapolis sports and politics (vote Nick Gerlach for mayor). Then it's time to get brassy: sure, 2nd wave ska ain't quite reggae, but they're definitely kissing cousins at the family reunion (after a few drinks).
