The bandmates have assembled—well, most of them—and chaos follows.

In this unhinged but heartfelt episode of Let’s Commiserate, Sam is joined by fellow bandmates Kyle and Clay for a whirlwind discussion that veers from musical commitment issues to All-State trumpet trauma… before spiraling into a full-blown Star Wars therapy session. Somehow, it ends with a group therapy session over the Juke phone and the PG-13 rating.

🎵 We discuss:

• 🎺 Why Kyle may or may not be a real band member
• 👕 The controversy of the official band t-shirt
• 🎶 All-State, symphonic band, and musical ego checks
• 🤖 Deep thoughts on Obi-Wan, Clone Wars, and Andor
• 📱 Juke phones, Windows CE, and early 2000s tech nostalgia
• 🎓 Fake graduation parties (???)
• 🐉 How to Train Your Dragon, Indiana Jones, and childhood trauma
• 🎮 Is KOTOR the greatest game of all time?

This episode is equal parts band roast, Star Wars breakdown, and therapy via nostalgia.
