Milo Aukerman, singer of the siminal and coffee-obsessed punk band Descendents, joins us on the pod this week. We talk about how going to punk shows lit up his life as a teenager, going karaoke for band practice, leaving the band to become a scientist, his musical influences, being a geek and never fitting in, the value in a slow burn career, how ordering too much poutine could have contributed to his recent heart attack in Barcelona.

Shout outs @descendents, and cheers @younghenrys for supporting the pod
