Today, we bring in one of the greatest catfish in reality show history (in Brandon's opinion) to talk about one of the greatest debut pop punk albums in the history of the genre (all three agree on this). John comes to us fresh-ish off the Netflix reality show "The Circle" where he played the game as "Mama Carol." John is a comedian, so please go check out all of his content on social media, primarily on Instagram and TikTok. -------------------- Music used throughout the show created by Jair Driesenga Logo was created by Grand Rapids comedian Carl Sobel.

Today, we talk about a white boy rapper that we really didn't know much about except for when he was working with Lil Nas X. What do you think of Jack and the music that he makes?

| Episode 204: The Big Express by XTC with Mark Alan Miller | 21 Oct 2022 | 01:11:08 | |
Today, we bring in a musical guru of sorts to talk about a band and an album that is near and dear to this guy. Mark Alan Miller is the husband to former guest, Elizabeth MacDuffie, as you would have heard if you listened to our episode on Bread in July. Today is definitely not stale and Mark brings a lot of great insight and knowledge on a band that we had no idea about. You can find everything Mark and Elizabeth are doing if you go to their Facebook page, Meat for Teacast. -------------------- Music used throughout the show created by Jair Driesenga Logo was created by Grand Rapids comedian Carl Sobel.
