    Great show with consistently good guests.

    Would be awesome to see one with Mike Lohrman from the Stitches, the dudes from the Briefs, or I know it would be super tough to track down and convince her but Ivy from the Cramps would be maybe the coolest guest ever.

    Thanks for making the show you guys
