Jay and Clifton sit down for a cozy fireside chat with Dear Ephesus guitarist and anthropologist, Ed Lamoso! Tune in for such hard hitting questions as, "How did you get hooked up with Gray Dot?" and "Did that van really appear out of thin air?"

Jay and special guest Ed Lamoso (Dear Ephesus) try to explain to Clifton why Sometime Sunday’s Drain is a screamy, grungy masterpiece. Buckle in for a 2-hour high-stakes blockbuster!

WARNING! Lots of cursing! Jay and Clifton get drawn down many wells while reminiscing over and enjoying Plankeye's sophomore release, The Spark.

Scott Silletta of Plankeye talking about the Christian bubble.
