We could not be more thrilled this week to be joined by drummer Valerie Franco aka Didi Crockett from Spinal Tap who can be seen in the new film SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES! We talk to Valerie about her early days of listening to Rush, what it was like asking her very kind neighbors if it was ok to practice her drums after school and what it was like playing with a ridiculously large drum kit as a member of Spinal Tap. We also get into Valerie's youth and her time visiting the Warped Tour, covering pop-punk artists like Green Day and being inspired by Travis Barker's playing. Plus we discuss the very controversial rule about never wearing a band's T-shirt to their own show. Is this a real rule of just one that Jonah thought was universal???? Finally, in an exciting round of CHANGE DOT DORK we debate the merits of a Rush Sirius station, if Keanu Reeves should be in an upcoming Star Wars movie and should the band Scum Dumpster play the next Warped Tour? You'll have to listen to this amazing episode to find out!!!

Today on the podcast the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome back their old friend Beck Bennett! Fresh off the release of his new podcast with Kyle Mooney "What's Our Pod?" Beck and the Bayers talk about what it feels like to start hosting a podcast and how there's definitely a learning curve! Then, the trio brainstorms ways to get on the "Kid Cuisine" Wikipedia page and did you know that the first reference on Beck's Wikipedia page is from his first time on this podcast?? Plus we reminisce about Block Parties and Beck recalls the epic parties in his neighborhood that included the game Bloody Murder (sounds scarier than it is), and Jonah and Vanessa talk about the Fourth of July parade and baseball game in their neightborhood that could kind of pass for a block party? And in a rousing game of CHANGE DOT DORK the trio debate the merits of bringing back Lean Cuisines, getting rid of algebra, and getting the boys lunch table back. And speaking of lunch, will this episode get us all free Ooni Pizza Ovens which we love and would love? You'll have to listen to find out, and a reminder to also check out Beck and Kyle's new podcast "What's Our Pod" wherever you get your pods!

This week on the podcast, Vanessa and Jonah are joined by singer-songwriter and musician, Philadelphia's own Dave Hause! You may know Dave from his work with The Loved Ones and The Falcon, but did you also know that he's a big Spinal Tap fan? In that spirit, Vanessa talks about attending the film's Hollywood premiere, Jonah laments his tendency to get sucked into YouTube clip shows like "Neighbor Wars" and all three of us discuss why it seems so difficult to find anything to watch these days! For our topic, Dave reminisces about family trips to the Boardwalk in Ocean City, New Jersey, on the other end of the coast to where Jonah and Vanessa had their own childhood adventures in Atlantic City. Also is gambling fun or just stressful... and why doesn't Dave have a strong Philly accent? We get into all of it here! Finally in a round of CHANGE DOT DORK we discuss petitions for dismantling the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA), putting Tom Petty on a Forever stamp and should they serve tofu at Quiznos, Jimmy John's and Subway? We hope all of youse remember to pick up Dave's new album "Dave Hause... And The Mermaid" when it comes out this Friday, September 26th!!!!
