Andy and Nick rate the men of the jam scene, based mostly on the quality of jawline and whether they have a cool, reptilian-like nickname. Rate our show on iTunes and cast a vote for who's hottest: Ryan Stasik, Gator Petropulos, or Floyd Kellogg. But more importantly, we have a living legend on the Interview Hour this week as we welcome Banjo legend, Béla Fleck! Lot's of sage wisdom and wild stories from the nicest dude. Andy closes the show with sick & also tight guitarist, Taylor Scott! EP 151...

The band: in an ever-fluctuating state of abuse and recovery. Of what, you might ask? Alcohol and each other, mostly. That's right, we have more 1-minute interviews with Nick Gerlach! And on the Interview Hour, we welcome comedian and darn nice fellow, Ari Shaffir! Listen in as Andy and Ari tread gracefully across a sea of topics such as introversion, comedy, and drugging your friends right in front of their kids. Plus: Brian chastises Andy for mushroom banter and Mara joins the circus. This is ...

The band is down a bassist and a drummer but this rollercoaster ain't stopping; not even when the Halloween Sunday Scaries hit. Gerlach nominates Shawn Eckels as president and Andy agrees that a pay raise is in order ($30 sound ok?). And on the Interview Hour we welcome golden voiced, Texan singer/songwriter, Paul Cauthen! Discussions on health, drugs, and the space between those two abound. Shawn sings a song about truckers. PSA: Don't pour whiskey into your electric pianos. This is EP 147

They talk about the mutual love we share for the Howard Stern show, the music they've scored syncs on, and how hard it is to go thru the world being so darn pretty (they're great, y'all). Andy & Shawn sing a song extolling the joys of science. This is EP...

Andy and Nick contemplate life, death & the merits of non-theism. Is there just One consciousness shared amongst all living things, like some kind of Socialist Energizer Bunny? Or perhaps we're here to simply help out some rescue dogs and eat mushrooms... But wait! On the Interview Hour, we welcome Melissa Etheridge! We're not worthy. Stay tuned till the end for a very special edition of some spirited (read: DRUNK) sports yelling with our brother-in-Jazz, Dolav. This is EP 144.
