Episode 14 is our first late-night show (and another audio only one).

We’re back from the West Coast run and doing it PTI style like the ESPN show where two guys argue with a clock, except it’s three bandmates running through every gig, meal, and mess from the road.

Then we roll out a brand-new segment: Respectfully, No. Sammy says no to Reverend Guitars, Yanko says no to San Francisco bikers, and Brond says no to Walnut Creek’s Kinder's Deli. And of course, the mailbag because what’s the show without it?

Recorded in the Goldfield green room in Sacramento after soundcheck, two days into this lil’ West Coast headliner sprint. We’d just sold out Reno at the Holland Project on 8/1 (start the month strong, right?), and the AC is still broken because of course it is. Brandon is in the corner pouring E&J shots and handing out orange slices like some kind of demented soccer coach. Six out of seven band members made the cut (Avi, conspicuously absent). Think summer camp, except no cabins, no lake, just six friends yelling over each other in Sacramento.

Look who’s back it’s the whole gang: Sammy, Brond, and Yanko. Yanko just got off the road with Balance & Composure and Turnover (he’s still dehydrated). Brond has been running social media from a cruise and somehow ended up hanging out with one of her heavy metal heroes (no, seriously). And we all came together in one place, at the same time for Sammy’s wedding. Miracles happen. Oh, and there’s a mailbag, because of course there is. Stories and questionable wisdom… we missed this. We missed you all.

Ok, we're not going to sit here and pretend we didn’t vanish for a while. We did. But now we’re two episodes deep into this comeback tour, and frankly, we’re feeling pretty good about it.

Recorded on Memorial Day, powered by Celsius, donuts, and a near-total audio meltdown (we recovered beautifully, thank you).

Will Levy of The Story So Far returns to the pod to talk about the band playing Bottle Rock Festival in Napa and we dive deep into the mystical art of setlist building

And of course we end with the mailbag, we talk sandwiches. At a wondrous length.

We’re two episodes into the comeback, don’t call it a streak. Hit play. Get Juiced.

VOG: DJ Chuck Salad

Yanko’s on tour with Turnover and Balance & Composure playing Berkeley so we snuck in a mid-tour check up over some Dunkin. He got a Dunkalatte. First time in about a month we’ve all caught up since Yanko hit the road and Sammy and Brond wrapped the UK Just Friends run.

In the second segment Sammy goes suit shopping for his wedding and gets called fat by some San Francisco stores. Brond did a photo shoot for Mother Selene with Kay Dargs and somehow made it look easy.

We wrap it all up with a mailbag because the people demand it. Music in this episode: - The Juice Intro by Glom - Panic by Cheap Appeal - Nine Pin by Digital Thought (Mail Bag) - Love It by Halo Davis (Outro)
