So, of course, The Boys had to make the pilgrimage to the AMC on 42nd street to take in The Boss in all his stripped-down glory. What did superfan Chris think of the experiment? Did Sean stay up for the entirity of the movie? How did Cade handle the understated drumming?

Tune in and find out.

We have a wild one this week as guest Max Bank (Magnet Theater, UCB) visits The Boys in the Bushwick Basement.

The new Robbie Robertson song is discussed, Max's Alabama 3 fandom is addressed, Don Henley gets a nod, and Cold Cave cools down the heat in the room. This one is weird, it's strange, it's Songs For Help.

The Boys took a trip to Asbury Park, NJ for Sean and Chris to experience their first music festival, Sea Hear Now. In this episode, we recount the tales of the weekend and discover The Boy's love of flea markets, pinball, "fine dining", and Red Roof Inn's.

Big thanks to Noah and St. Paul & The Broken Bones for helping us get to the festival. Go check out their music and merch at www.stpaulandthebrokenbones.com
