Did you know that there's an entire sandwich shop in Canada based off of Wilco's music? In this episode the boys interview Chad Comfort and Dan Farlow, co-founders of Mermaid Avenue Sandwich Factory in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Chad and Dan discuss their friendship and the beginnings of their Wilco fandom.  #makingpeoplehappywithsandwiches

The boys have been stuck on "shouting out" different things on the show lately. They realized that Wilco have also referenced other things within their songs. Some of their shout outs might surprise you.

The boys take on the topic of Wilco's moodiness. The topic is subjective in nature and allowed them to discuss the way Wilco uses their sonic landscapes in so many distinct and, at times, unconventional ways.

An episode from the podcast Sing for Science is also referenced featuring Jeff Tweedy and Dr. Shimon Edelman that was released on October 5, 2022.(https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jeff-tweedy-wilco-less-than-you-think-consciousness/id1535070210?i=1000581652417).

The boys welcome their first guest ever on the show: Tim Grierson, author of Wilco: Sunken Treasure. Tim Grierson is the senior U.S. critic for Screen International and the vice president of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. His writing appears frequently at Vulture, Rolling Stone and the Los Angeles Times. Grierson co-hosts the weekly film podcast Grierson & Leitch, and he is the author of seven books, including This Is How You Make a Movie and Wilco: Sunken Treasure. Find him on Twitter and Instagram at @timgrierson.

After having explored some of Wilco's best love songs on the previous episode, the boys chose to follow up with some songs about all things related to "hate" and break-up.

Happy Valentine's Day! Who doesn't enjoy a good love song? Wilco has a strong catalog of love songs and we think they're "poetry and magic." The boys dig in to some of their favorites.

Lance & Morgan discuss the topics of death, mortality, fatherhood, Joan Didion, and Nels Cline.

Lance & Morgan delve into Wilco's celebration of music and the influence of their record collections. The boys choose songs that parse out their love of music and Wilco.  Shout-outs abound.

Welcome to Wilco the Podcast! We're so excited to introduce ourselves (Lance & Morgan) and the podcast.
