TTBB 139 - It Doesn't Matter What You Wear

Steve spent the better part of the last week in Chicago attending the annual meeting of the Grateful Dead Studies Association.  It was, in short, a Real Good Time!

Joel and his wife (and past TTBB guest) Kjerstin finally decide to take the plunge, and make the Big Commitment - they joined Costco.  Welcome to the fold you two!  (Be sure to sleep when Costco sleeps.)

Steve has continued his rock and roll adventures, while attempting to maintain something resembling a professional career. 

Joel and Steve were honored to be invited to a birthday party where they were definitely on the 'old' edge of the age spectrum - it can be reported that the kids are definitely alright!

TTBB 137 - Shoot It Up Your Nose

Joel and Steve welcome allergy season into their lives!  Steve took his daughter to see Olivia Rodrigo and had a great time on a few levels. Joel went to a State Park with his wife (and past TTBB guest) Kjerstin for her birthday!  He also got a pedicure, which frankly sounds really nice.

Joel saw Postmodern Jukebox, went to a play, and washed his dog!

TTBB 133 - Mike McClure of Guess The Year Podcast

Joel and Steve are joined by Mike McClure - host of the Guess The Year podcast!

If you're a regular TTBB listener at all you know Steve has been a contestant and multiple-time champion on Guess The Year.  This has been in the works for a while now, so Joel and Steve are very excited that it finally happened!

Mike is a great guy, and has a very cool thing going with Guess The Year - which, regardless of your feelings about the Grateful Dead, is incredibly interesting in and of itself and a Real Good Time!

TTBB Refresher Course 2024
