  • Great job!

    These guys do a great job. Respectful, friendly, and knowledgeable questions and conversation. And no LA style preening :-). Very easy on the ears.

    I’d never heard of Monkey House and the genius of Don B. I haven’t stopped listening to their catalogue since your interview dropped. I haven’t been this stoked about a band in a long long time. My friends and family are now fully introduced to them thanks to you. Keep up the great work guys.

  • Bobby Caldwell

    Just wanted to say I just listened to and really enjoyed your Bobby Caldwell ep. So refreshing to hear an interview that doesn’t exhaust the WYWDFL angle, because he so much more prolific. Your questions were thoughtful and spanned his entire career. Nice stuff.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ed Toth
Q: What led to your move to The Doobie Brothers and how did you adapt to sharing the stage with another drummer?
A memorial context and timing around Keith Knudsen's passing opened the door; Ed auditioned successfully, found it easy to adapt due to his familiarity with the material and his marching-band background, and he contributed to the transition toward a single-drummer format.
Ed Toth
Q: How did the Vertical Horizon gig come about and what was the audition process like?
A chain of serendipitous connections—meeting people from UM, meeting Jason Sutter, and a spillover audition after networking at a show—led Ed to audition, ultimately landing the gig after a two-day audition with multiple candidates.
Ed Toth
Q: What were you exploring in terms of your career during your time at the University of Miami and early in your career?
Ed explains he was drawn to both joining a band and pursuing session work, valuing versatility and the ability to swing jazz and groove-based playing, with a strong emphasis on learning all aspects of music to keep doors open.
Dennis Atlas
Q: How has your experience with Toto changed or propelled your career?
It has opened up tremendously many opportunities and put me on the map in a certain way.
Dennis Atlas
Q: Was this something you were working on before Toto came calling or has it been a project that's come together since you've been in the band?
Most of the songs in particular were written after, mostly in 2025, some at the end of 2024.
