WITH NEIL RUBENSTEIN
Bayside's Anthony Raneri talked on the phone with me while I navigated the highways & byways of Long Island. We discussed what boroughs should be considered Long Island and why I chose to speak to Nick Ghanbarian first. Hint: It's because Anthony is a bit standoffish.
Check out Anthony's band Bayside, here!
Riley Breckenridge, from Thrice, makes sure I get home safely on this week's podcast. Among other things, we discuss Productive Outs, his baseball related blog, and then I insult English teachers... but seriously, English teachers are NOT as cool as the band KISS. I don't think I'm breaking down any walls with that statement.
You can find out all the great things Riley is involved in by checking out his website, Hermitology.
Jonah Bayer of United Nations and Going Off Track podcast took some time to help me cope with the pains of rush hour traffic. We discuss some stuff that makes me sound pretty horrible. Starting to be a theme, I guess. Maybe I'm a shittier person than I think I am. Or maybe trying to be a good person makes you a shittier person. I'm the worst. Jonah is a close second. Like seriously, I couldn't be inconvenienced for 3 seconds to say "Preferred Gender Preference?" What a jerk. I see the error of my ways now.
Check out Jonah's website and get the low down on all the amazing things he does.
Nick Ghanbarian of Bayside, co-founder of the clothing line Born & Bred, helps me forget about the headache of traffic. We start off the conversation with a horrible story of loss & finish up with me once again professing my love for Fetty Wap.
You can follow Nick on twitter here. And check out his clothing line over here.
Steve Pedulla, of States & Kingdoms, entertained me on my crappy commute by talking to me about his old band Thursday, Homestar Runner & John Nolan's inevitable transformation to fashion mogul.
You can hear States & Kingdoms here.
Fotsbeats is an incredibly skilled DJ and I am proud to call him a friend. I enjoyed this episode very much. We talk about our friend Nick Hook, Fetty Wap & reincarnated souls.

Ryan Brook is a close friend and an incredibly funny comedian. We talk about absolutely nothing for 30 minutes. You've been warned.

Ron joined me on the podcast again this week, to talk about Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Spoilers. For real.

This was my second attempt at recording an episode with John. It still sounds pretty terrible. Maybe the cell service in Charlotte is crappy. But if you can motor through, John and I discuss Ron Richards "Goodfellas Minute" Podcast and I say "morality," when I mean to say "mortality." So there's that. We also mention Brazillian fans and Eddie deleting Mike Dubin on Facebook.
You can check out John's solo stuff here: Bandcamp.
Smooth City is Ashanti's touring DJ & Hype Man. He took time out to talk to me about religion and politics. Big thanks to Fotsbeats for helping get this episode somewhat listenable. It originally sounded like Smooth was making milkshakes. While on speaker phone. In a building made entirely out of tin. And static.
Follow Smooth on Instagram.
Alia Janine is a comedian /podcaster and former adult star. She took some time out, while chopping vegetables and cleaning up dog poop, to talk to me while I sat in local traffic. I sound pretty ignorant on this one. Lots of regrettable soundbites, so listen close.
To find out more about Alia, please check out her website AliaJanine.com.
Ryan Penagos explains to me exactly what he does for Marvel Comics and why over a million people follow him on twitter. He's a quality guy and helped make sitting in traffic less garbagey.
You can find out more about Ryan and what kind of weirdo music he's listening to these days at Agent M Loves Tacos.
Sarit Catz is one of the most talented people I know. An extremely funny comedian who has written for shows such as Full House & Coach. She took some time to talk to me while I drove on the LIE. She also suggested that I run my car off the road, so, not real cool on her part.

I call Jonathan to keep my mind off Long Island traffic on my way home from a show. We talk about Sea Lions, Ben Carson and Under The Dome.

Sat in traffic today and called Lori Palminteri, a comedian from NYC.

Today I spoke to Ron Richards while I drove home from work. Traffic was pretty bad in spots, but Ron helped me pass the time stupendously. We spoke about growing up in the Long Island Hardcore scene and his love of The Muppets. Ron does iFanboy Podcast, All About Android and Goodfellas Minute.
You can follow Ron on Twitter, @Ronxo where he has links to his podcasts.
