The Brandons discuss what they did over Winter break last week. Including a tour of comedy that started in Reno with Russell Peters and ended in Los Angeles at an unplanned, last minute, intimate comedy show. During the trip to SoCal, Brandon hit an old Speakeasy in hopes to see some paranormal activity, and Mrs Brandon tells a story about a haunting at Virginia City that she experienced. Finally, Brandon officially apologizes for knocking the show "The Orville" for so long and not giving it a try. After being threatened to watch this new show, Brandon weighs with his opinion on The Umbrella Academy on Netflix.

This week, Brandon opens up his "vault" of music from the bands he performed in previously. Dating back to his first band when he was in grade school, and the various other projects he was involved with up until the last few years. Listen to the evolution of different sounds and styles over the years. Maybe this will lead to some inspiration for you or maybe it will inspire Brandon to play music again. Or it's a reminder of why he hasn't played music in some time! Either way, enjoy this ride down memory lane of Brandon's musical history.
