On this episode of Off the Clock, I’m joined by my friend Jeff, lead singer of a kickass band, koozie enthusiast, Here’s some of what we talk about:

First question: You’re in a band. How do you feel about people your band’s shirt to your own show?

• how people react when they find out he’s in a band
• the remedy for the male loneliness epidemic in this country
• our age difference revealed by which of us can drive a stick shift and which can’t
• aging out of some the music we loved when we were younger, and aging out of songs he’s written
• playing music a million miles an hour and how to integrate a new drummer into that insanity
• we rank Zebrahead lead singers (excluding Ali)
• singing a silly song about self-love in the grimly serious style of Tom Waits
• how great video game soundtracks used to be (hi “Not the Same” by Bodyjar!)
• the eternal struggle of wanting to revisit the nostalgic music you love vs staying up on new music
• how many koozies does Jeff actually have? (the answer will likely surprise you)
• advice to bands about how to create the scene you want to be in, how to level yourself up, and why Denver’s scene is really good
• Jeff’s ultimate 4 band lineup to play with
