Nick welcomes back music journalist Jim Ryan for a lively chat about the concerts he’s been covering. Jim shares an absolutely hilarious recap of a chaotic Who performance where Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey nearly came to blows on stage, along with yet another Van Halen–related disaster courtesy of David Lee Roth. He also previews this year’s Riot Fest lineup, which mixes big-name bands with the unexpected appearance of John Stamos.

Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick for a fun conversation about the fall season and the quirks of pop culture. They revisit the saga of cloned sheep, remember Skeet Ulrich in his 90s prime, celebrate the legendary Game Boy, and wander through plenty of nostalgic detours. [Ep 386]
