                                  This week's episode starts with a spontaneous vancast segment, the impetus being Turbo's admission that he'd never seen a James Bond movie before.

                                  We're then joined by Heide for a round of song kills & resurrections, and then finally we welcome back Dennis "Doc" O'Carroll from Doc's Irish Tours, who gives us some essential travel tips for our Ireland tour this October. Everything you need to know about currency exchange, VAT refunds, jet lag and more.

                                                      This week's episode was recorded on the way home from our gig in College Station, a special one played in honor of our friend Brooke Griffin, who is moving to Australia. MASSIVE thanks to Chris Steele and his O'Bannon's crew for making that night happen.

                                                      Really fun music discussion this week, with everything from Kid Rock and Stevie Wonder to Elvis and Jerry Reed to Kenny Rogers and Richard Marx (topics in the time code chapters below).
