Welcome back everyone! This episode is an instant classic. I got a chance to hang out with the band Absolutely Not before a show a couple weeks ago. They were so so so cool!

They have a new album coming out June 30. Buy it! They are playing an album release show on July 6 at the hideout downtown. You gotta go to that! Thanks for sticking around. Dig it
