The great Sean Jordan joins us this week! You know Sean as a hilarious stand-up and co-host (with Ian Karmel and David Gborie) of the incredible podcast All Fantasy Everything. This was a fun and breezy hang with one of our all-time favorite comedians. We talked about feeling as if we know him, taking a beating for friendship, and all the wonderful things skateboarding has brought into Sean's life. Check out All Fantasy Everything right after you finish listening and subscribing to this podcast.

We are finally back with a whole slew of pre-recorded episodes, and it feels sooooo good! Yes, Drew has let you down for five weeks, but the gang comes roaring back from his laziness in hall-of-fame form with Ceschi Ramos, a rapper, producer, and singer-songwriter out of New Haven, CT. He's also the co-founder of Fake Four, Inc., a record label supporting many of the artists you've loved from this very show and by far one of the finest independent labels going.  Ceschi reflects on the need for honesty in his music, plays a couple of live tracks, and discusses farts...but NOT from the place you'd expect!

Jenny's new Deathlist album drops May 29 and is available for pre-order on her bandcamp page NOW! Go get it, why don't you? And then come right back for a great hang and great tunes.

Happy holidays, one and all! We're so excited to have guests back, and this week is a  doozy! Melynda, Donna, and Erin from the proudly adult-contemporary Jamais Jamais join us for a welcome dose of music and silliness. We talk about their in-progress album, the ease and joy of working together, and how rapidly Melynda got to the "sorting a bucket of screws" phase of social distancing. We play a few sneak peaks from the upcoming album, and Andy shares a trio of bangers from King Black Acid, Nikki and the Phantom Callers, and Helicon. 

This week's playlist includes:

• "I Killed Your High" by King Black Acid's Rainbow Lodge (3:57)
• "Permanent Resident (Don't)" by Jamais Jamais (20:31)
• "Howl With Me" by Nikki and the Phantom Callers (36:55)
• "Winter Skies" by Jamais Jamais (46:32)
• "Sound of Confession" by Helicon (67:50)

Welcome to the soundtrack for another week of social distancing! We know it's getting tough out there, so as you continue to haunt your own home, pop in some ear buds and discover something beautiful you've never heard before. And no, it's not Andy's slurring voice (which is audio-related, not alcohol-related...wink).

This week, we take our first foray into remote recording. We stretch our legs luxuriously into the malaise of isolation and uncertainty with a notable dearth of stories due to the cow-like dullness of our day-to-day lives. But we still find time to laugh, have a cocktail, and share some killer music. Thanks for joining us. We're thinking of you, and we hope you're all getting by as well as possible!
