Meiko Aug 28, 2012

Show notes

Ep. 12 - Singer/Songwriter Meiko stops by Bronson Island to talk to Zach and Chuck about fried chicken, Japanese food, and the origin of her name. Plus she clues us in to her favorite burger in NYC, her favorite pizza in Chicago, and her favorite poke in Hawaii, right before challenging Chuck to a turkey ball cook-off. We also get her to admit that she helped the Hanson brothers name their beer while on tour together (spoiler: it's called MMMM Hop) even though one of them has terrible taste in cheese (Zac). Oh, and if you're wondering why the episode is labeled "explicit", it's because Meiko had to go and mention chocolate covered penises. So there's that also.

She also admits to singing and dancing in the kitchen, and tells the story of how her and Mary Sue Milliken spent 9 hours firing a 26 naan tandoori oven, while burning incense and listening to Indian music (naturally).

Action also tells the guys about the time he was fired from a cheffing gig at Citifield, possibly for being a Yankees fan.

Duff Goldman Jul 31, 2012

Show notes

Ep. 8 - Ace of Cakes star Duff Goldman stops by Bronson Island to serenade us with Tuvan throat singing, plus acapella versions of his favorite Rusted Root and Spin Doctors songs. Zach and Chuck take Duff through a full range of emotions, from the time he got bit on the head moshing at a Helmet concert, to the time that Jewel made him cry. He also comes to the realization that he will never be famous for his bass playing (live on the show!) and urges all his douchebag former bandmates to realize the same about themselves. On a realted note, there is an execessive amount of cursing.

Henry Rollins Jul 24, 2012

Show notes

Ep. 7 - The former lead singer of Black Flag and the Rollins Band talks to Zach and Chuck about his favorite countries to eat in while touring the world and his newfound love of Fatburger (which may or may not be at odds with his general opinion about the eating habits of Americans.) He also talks about the time he ate rat in Irula and the years he spent living off the dented can aisle in the grocery store up the street from SST Records. Henry also opens up about his clean water works and the passion he has for Drop in the Bucket, a non profit organization dedicated to bringing clean water sources to schools in Africa.
