The incomparable drummer, singer and lyricist for the Grammy winning band Mastodon, Brann Dailor zooms into the show from a tour stop in Calgary to familiarize us with his 1.5 year old boxer Beefcake and his beloved previous dogs Chloe and Thriller. We talk dog butt art, raising puppies, how dogs lift your self esteem and more.

Brann and Mastodon will be playing the Louder Than Life festival on Saturday September 28th and Aftershock on October 11th before heading to Australia in December. For tickets visit ⁠mastodonrocks.com/tour⁠

Brann chose to give a shout out to the Atlanta Humane Society whose goal is deeply motivated by the desire to keep pets in their loving homes: they seek to improve the lives and well-being of pets and people, collectively and perhaps most importantly, one life, one need, one animal at a time.
