Joel and Steve welcome you back!  They've decided that really what they like doing is 'starting' - staying consistent is a... work in progress.  Regardless - they're glad to be back together and glad you're here!

They have both been traveling a bit, and having local adventures.  

Be sure to check out Steve's review of The Midland Band's album "Rodeo Dude" on friend and past TTBB guest Mike Semrad's new joint:

Joel and Steve... are not dead yet!  It's been one month since they last spoke IRL or here.  Pretty weird, but it's pretty weird times!

Lots to talk about, and they do that

Joel and Steve (sort of but not really) regret yet another extended absence from you, the dedicated listeners of TTBB Nation!  It couldn't be helped, but know that they do love you - and that they can change!

They discuss the murders of US Citizens at the hands of ICE, and related issues - specifically what can we all do to make it through this horrific and nightmarish time in our country.

Happy 2026 to TTBB Nation! To celebrate Joel and Steve have a most distinguished guest - Gianna Urbauer, who just happens to be Steve's daughter!

This will definitely go in the books as a major parenting victory for Steve, as well as being a great conversation!

Joel and Steve return from their longest break in five years - thanks to TTBB Nation for standing by, we do appreciate you!

They have a somewhat valid excuse is that they were both busy putting together Steve's acting debut, which - all in all - was a success on many levels!   And, also - you know - Christmas and all that.

Joel and Steve, once again, are careening wildly into 'The Holidays'. 

They unpack going to a Celebration of Life, and what it means to 'accomplish things', and Joel gives Steve some sort of solicited acting advice!
