The intro is messed up, Brian's mic sucks, the sound is bad, but there's a long segment about state flags. There's some bird talk, music talk, it's all about the content. So many bad shows have great sound quality.

Happy 50th birthday to Garland! While he was busy celebrating, friend of the show Eric Schou sat in with Brian to talk music! They discuss Eric's old band that was called Death Squad, and then the sad death of national treasure Michael Hurley, Eric challenges Brian to a game involving Japanese punk band names, and more!

WEAKSTREAM podcast is now available on two or more platforms! So, just in case WEAKSTREAM gets any listeners, the boys are stepping up there games! Brian learned how to edit! And just in time because this week's episode was a 2+ hour snoozefest! One of the worst yet! And Garland is traveling to Sante Fe to begin a 68 investigative report into the death of Gene Hackman and to see if he can claim the bodies! For WEAKSTREAM podcast!

This is the first edited episode ever. It's been whittled down to 57 minutes and it cleaned up better than expected! You can only imagine how bad the rest of it was!
