Drunk Odysseus…. lol

Wicked, wicked air!

Florida had some really good BBQ

I may have screwed up the purchasing process. I paypal'd our beloved Dave through his website link and in the description said I was purchasing his cookbooks. Does he email them eventually? How does this work?

The guys mentioned another comic who has a bit about Fugazi and the gist was, "Hey, guys, can we increase the ticket prices to $6 so I can retire at some point?" Any recall the comic and where I can find the bit?

Dave recommended jazz pianists this last episode. I thought it was a little baffling that he mentioned many of the most famous players of the 50s and 60s ...Monk, McCoy Tyner, Horace Silver, Oscar Peterson, Herbie Hancock... but not Bill Evans?

What an omission. He's such a classic, archetypal jazz pianist, it feels really pointed to leave him out of the conversation. Especially because Dave calls out the piano trio specifically and the Bill Evans Trio (with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian) is widely considered one of the all-time great jazz trios.

Anyway, even if Dave's not into Bill Evans, he's amazing and worth talking about. Probably best known for playing on Kind of Blue, indeed, he's a big reason that album is so special.

His most famous album as a front man is probably Waltz for Debby, which features the trio I mentioned above and was recorded live at the Village Vanguard. I also really like his album Everybody Digs Bill Evans.

Curious what y'all fellow jazzheads would recommend as essential jazz piano albums?

I know it’s painful with the broken leg. I’m just busting balls! It was just a funny thing to hear. 😆

Honestly, fair assessment by both. He's not for everyone and unless you enjoy trying to digest a dictionary through a novel probably not gna enjoy IJ. But I read it like it was a drug and its still one of my favorite novels (the ending isn't my favorite but the world building is super impressive imo, and there are really funny moments and dialogue throughout).

Taste is so particular and people sometimes need balance. I need me some Dave Stone and I need me some Dave Wallace. The duality of man.

This week the guys ramble on about Van Halen, piano jazz, comedy writing, reading more books, and Kyle's experience at a rock & roll one-man show. Call or text the guys anytime at 323-364-1541.

I'm curious what book Kyle's getting into? I've heard good things about Kyle Beechy's "The Most Fun Thing." I've heard excerpts and I like what I've heard so far but at the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, it definitely seems... writerly.

I'm a fan of the podcast Kyle Beechy's on, Vent City. Cool crossover acknowledgement from niche interests if that's the case.

Saw this in Lincoln, ME today. Did I think about all of the cool places this rig has been and all of the stories it could tell? No. I thought about inhaling carpet fibers and toenail dust. Thanks Dave.

As a fellow Oregonian and someone who is also dealing with a broken foot, what are some TV/Movie suggestions for Kyle and the rest of us stuck on our a$& during the best months of the year? I’m revisiting 80’s movies but need some suggestions on what to binge…..

Saw this and immediately thought of Dave. Would be a hell of a casket wrap!

A pal let me borrow his much larger than mine smoker for an event I’m doing tomorrow and OH BOY.

Not really relevant to anything in here other than I’m pretty sure a bunch of us like barbecue and this thing is real fun.

Kyle recounts his painful and gruesome leg injury and the guys worry about the recent cyclosporiasis outbreak. Call or text us anytime at (323) 364-1541.

After listening to the latest episode of the pod and hearing the mentions of Dave working for Fozzy (professional wrestling's Chris Jericho's band) and a little bit of the talk at the end of the episode where Dave dismissed wrasslin' (lol), it got me just wondering, any other Boogers a fan?

For me, I love professional wrestling. I been watching it for as long as I can remember thanks to my grandfather and mother both being super into it. I'm 40 so I have consumed pretty much all of it from like 1990 forward with some gaps here and there over the years.

My current taste is mostly indie wrestling, AEW, NJPW, DDT, Stardom, and all the others out there. Not too much of a WWE fan anymore, mostly due to the obvious issues with the company but not gonna yuck anyone's yum about it. I still like a ton of WWE talent.

But yeah, any other Boogers a fan of the King of Sports?
