266. LIVE at Pickathon! Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

This episode was recorded live at Pickathon music festival outside of Portland Oregon! Zach, Jess, Scott, and incredible guest drummer Eric Kalver answer the age old question, "What is appropriate festival wear for a festival?" and also "What is a clown festival?" Put on your rompers, grab a funnel cake, and definitely don't give anything to that guy in the parking lot.
