TTBB 125 - Same As It Ever Was

Joel and Steve reconvene after taking a week off so that Joel could go on vaca up to the north shore of Lake Superior!  Steve saw Stop Making Sense in the Riepma Ross theater, and was a (simulated) Active Shooter!

Steve reads... a Poem.

TTBB 122 - Do The Evolution

Joel stops obsessing about aliens long enough to go see his favorite band!  His relationship with Pearl Jam goes back 30 years, so getting to see them again is a big deal on a few levels.  He also has received some grace from our benevolent federal government regarding his student loans!

Steve has decided that playing bluegrass is where the action is at!

TTBB 120 - Riddikulus!

Joel and Steve have one last blowout before Joel has to... Go Back To Work! 

Steve has to get over a thing.  They both saw the Barbie movie.  Joel saw some great concerts.  They discuss truly important questions such as: could a Bon Scott-era AC/DC tribute act save us all?  Unlikely - but Selena Gomez just might.

Regardless - Joel and Steve both are so grateful to their dedicated fans that they'd love to have you Venmo them!  Email ttbbpodcast@gmail.com for details!

TTBB 118 - Libby Brown!

Joel and Steve are joined by Steve's sister Libby Brown!  Libby has had a an interesting career spanning journalism, public policy and high-tech, most recently in the identity and authentication division of Microsoft. I've you've ever signed into an Xbox or Office 365 account - you've used one of the things she managed/developed!  

On top of that, she's a genuinely cool person - and it's about damn time Steve got it together enough to get her on the pod!

TTBB 117 - Dead To The Core

Joel and Steve de-brief about their Dead & Co. experiences in Boulder from the last weekend.  Both have had profound experiences at these (and related) events - so to get to do it one more time was a really special thing!

Even if (maybe especially if) 'The Dead' aren't your bag, stick around for this conversation.  The bottom line of the whole scene is very simply stated:

There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert!
