Our guest this week is a foundational architect of alternative rock and one of the most wonderfully unhinged guitar heroes to ever pick up the instrument. As the co-founder and lead guitarist of the legendary, boundary pushing Butthole Surfers, he spent the 80s and 90s melting brains with his chaotic, psychedelic riffs and timeless tracks like 'Pepper.' But his genius didn't stop on stage—behind the studio glass as a producer, he shaped multi-platinum albums for Sublime, The Toadies, Meat Puppets, and Pepper. He is a musical mad scientist, an underground icon, and a true legend of the game.T…

Folks, we’ve talked about heckling on this show before, but today’s guest has turned it into an actual art form. He is the creator of TrevsChirps, and he has single-handedly revolutionized how fans interact with pro athletes. Instead of booing, he’s out here throwing players completely off their game by yelling out deeply personal compliments and oddly specific praise from the front row. It is chaotic, it is wholesome, and it is brilliantly effective. Put your hands together for the man who is making sports stadium crowds a lot weirder and a lot funnier... Trevor Gilmore!  Have a listen…

Our next guest is an absolute titan of modern guitar. She is a Berklee College of Music graduate who went from tearing up the solo underground to sharing stages with icons like Steve Vai and Guthrie Govan. Whether she is shredding animated metal riffs on tour with Dethklok, holding down the stage with Danny Elfman, or shooting 10-foot flames out of her guitar in Las Vegas for Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson ONE, her precision and melodic voice on the instrument are unmatched. She is fresh off the release of her incredible, synesthesia-inspired fourth studio album, Eventide, and she finall…

For the 3rd time, our guest today is a visual artist, a graphic designer, and the powerhouse bassist for Atreyu, Porter Mcknight.  Porter is a down to earth, genuine person, who has great insights into what keeps a band together, how much he appreciates the fans, and what it takes to keep the band staying creative and together after all these years.  We get into everything from recording in Japan, to moving to Germany, to just how much Atreyu's new album means to Porter.   Make sure to check out The End is Not the End now available for purchase and Streaming.  Have a listen!   We also …

What is red, white, green, and puts fear into batters? No, it is not Burlew’s Phanatic cosplay, it’s the next guest on our show. Tommy Greene pitched 8 season with the Braves, Phillies, and Astros and we chat to him about his career highlights including throwing a no hitter and going to the World Series, injuries, and the possible upcoming lockout. We promise this interview will be way better than watching the current Phillies or Mets.   Scott's in a bad mood, the Mets blow, and Mike tell tales of DoorDashing.  Have a listen!

What an honor it is to chat with this week's guest. He has walked the boards of Broadway with Marlon Brando, shared the screen with Lena Horne, and as the President of Warner Bros.

In February of 2026, he released the definitive account of a century well-lived, titled 'And It Only Took 100 Years'.
