This week we were visited by the controlled chaos known as our old pal Kyle Pulley! He's the co-owner of Headroom Studios, bassist of Thin Lips, and former member of Dangerous Ponies! We talk beards, favorite tour grub, skateboarding in pointy leather shoes, the herculean weed-feats of Mikey Tashjian, and we all quest to get a free Disney Plus password. Join us at this delightful roundtable of best buds!

Happy New Year's Eve, all you Superyearly Superfreaks. As a special treat for the last episode of our first season we bring you Danny Sgrizzi, one of the original Big Mama's Warehouse settlers. You may know Danny from bands such as Cassilis, Boys and Sex, White Pisces, Make Me, and Boy Problems, as well as a writer for The Hard Times. We talk about the secrets of eternal youth, thumb sucking, nail biting, the NJ punk scene, Audio Heart, the early days of Big Mama's, old school torrent sites, disambiguation of Capsule, Fat Sandwiches, the merits of MySpace in DIY, guitar string secrets, the legendary 75:24 compilation tape, and a bold new direction in snacking technology.

The self proclaimed "World's Most Unremarkable Man" Mike Bell joined us this week! We done goofed up his first recording so we had ourselves a do-over (which is a fitting because he did compose the record Nothing Works). You may know him from Mike Bell & The Movies, or as his stint as the bassist in The Superweaks! The video game/album hybrid that became Teenage Blob was his brainchild, and his creativity continues currently as a screen writer. We talk movies, mid-90s alt rock, camping while touring the country, and various run-ins johnny law! Also, Evan gets drunk.
