In this episode Jess and Jimmy sit down with our friend Lisa from AM Chalk. Lisa is known in the #AMFAM community as someone who is in the "know" with information on upcoming events. This is an exciting time for the Andrew McMahon fan community but also for those who grew up listening to Something Corporate in their emo phase.

We ask Lisa about some of the weirdest SOCO conspiracy theories she's heard, what info she can confirm, and the panic of buying tickets for Something Corporate's SOLD OUT When We Were Young Sideshow Event.....

There may be some hints about things to come 😈

Updates will be on our website: www.theultimatemixtape.com
