Team Lunch

Old pal Gabe DeVela is on Team Lunch! We reminisce about lunches past and present and what it was like to be in a ROCK BAND together. Wow. Then we play Quarantine House to determine what wacky set of notables we would like to live with during a global pandemic. Jon and Lani play along; Lani's Corner has all but engulfed the show. Then we play Dream Quarantine House Draft where we get to turn the tables and pick just who we'd want to be stuck with in these strange times.

Patrick Smith is on the dang pod! In an episode stuffed with notable games like Whose Lunch is It Anyway and Patrick or Smith, we have the pleasure of catching up with our old pal from college. There's some inside baseball from our time at the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music, but don't let that discourage you; There's plenty of dummy sh1t for everyone.  This episode is like a fine coq au vin - a French dish of chicken braised with wine, lardons, mushrooms, and optionally garlic.

This is it, the much-anticipated Bass Jeopardy Episode! Tune in as Paul Vine, Charlie Manion, and Jon Massey square off in a game of wits where the answer is often "bass". Then stick around as Jon, Charlie and I plan our next musical outlet, a band called Seven Seconds To For Your Entertainment At Kenwood Towne Centre and talk about our upcoming album A Box of Knifes with Lime Green Knife.

Us, Today is on Team Lunch… today! Tune in to find out which band member had a baby and what the band has been up to in the Trump era. Then find out about the latest television craze in Lani’s Corner. This is one of those good ones, you guys.

It’s the Cincinnati Jazz episode with our guest Emily Jordan Pollard! We get the goss on Cincy jazz since I’ve left town and talk baby names in Lani’s Corner. Then we listen to a slew of great sounds on the old Professor Podcast. It was fun to talk jazz!

This is an episode about big band jazz - Eric Lechliter and Dominic Marino are here! Jazz music AKA “the moneymaker”… this is sure to be our most popular yet! I was so excited to talk about my obsession with jazz arranging with a couple of dudes who share that obsession; we’re a rare breed. I also play some of my podcast sound drafts and Eric and Dom try to make big band arrangements out of them.

It’s the Bruce Springsteen episode and Nick Rue is here again. We talk to friends and family alike about the Boss’ influence on our lives and even speculate on whether or not Nick would have existed if not for the big man. We even catch up with Paul Vine live at an Animal Mother concert in Cincinnati!

Upstairs is on Team Lunch, Chicago’s favorite Columbo-core band! The Upstairs Family Band, let’s check out their track, “Eat Us Or We’ll Eat You”. We talk about getting roasted by children and what it’s like to be in a forever war with your bandmates. Then we launch some rejected Onion headlines into the sun and give some names to some funky sounds in a game called Soundboys. Lani gives us the skinny on her grow op in Lani’s Corner. I say my real email address on-mic in this episode, so please don’t do anything untoward with it.

Micco Caporale is here for Team Lunch! Using various Trader Joe’s products as a rating scale, Micco explains to us in great detail why Pinkerton by Weezer is Actually Bad. It’s for creeps, y’all. Creepy creeps and not crepes. If this episode were a YouTube video, the title would be “PINKERTON REACTION VIDEO (CRINGE!!!)”. And I know what you’re thinking, yes, we talk about Smooth by Santana featuring Rob Thomas.

Dan Bobier gave me some guff for the tonal inconsistency of these blurbs, but I don’t care, do you? Jon Massey is here today and we’re mixing up the format. In his capacity as c-suite executive, Jon gives us a preview of the new line of Silo’s Choice products. We talk about how I tried to make Kobe Bryant’s death about me, before comparing Depressed In Study Hall albums from our past. Then, don’t miss Lani’s Corner where we force Jon to resolve our marital disputes in Third Wheel Gets The Grease.
