On this special episode we speak with Aaron Dalbec of Bane about wrangling raccoons, if Ronald McDonald could kick The Hamburgler's ass, the Bane documentary, being a tour guide at The Punk Rock Museum for the first time and more!

Boy, do we have a doozy for you! You will need some long rope for the rabbit holes we go down with the Justin and Moki from Hey Fever! Records. We talk aliens, living in simulations, life in a band, the current standing of Heartwells, Fever Fest! at Alex's Bar in Long Beach, June 14.

HOUR 2
Join us in celebrating Cinco de Mayo with Manic Hispanic songs and their covers (because we all know Manic Hispanic wrote those songs, everyone else just copied them).

Old friends, no filter, no clock, zero editing, Efrem Schulz of Death by Stereo, Manic Hispanic, and Mutiny got so deep in it we forgot to even hit record for the first half hour. When we finally did, it was pure chaos: wild on-stage moments, unhinged tour stories, and those reckless younger days when alcohol sponsors were basically a green light for mayhem. We have it all but we didn't even come close to scratching the surface! He drops info on the Manic Hispanic upcoming shows, including a stacked, can’t-miss Cinco de Mayo show for a "world-famous" radio station!
This special edition of The RachaelORama Punk Show did not air on the radio.

We caught up with Tim DeLaughter of Tripping Daisy to celebrate 30 years of I Am an Elastic Firecracker and spiraled into everything from doom scrolling and the unreal cleanliness of Buc-ee’s to backwards drums and next-level memorabilia merch.
