99. LIFERS - Pat Healy Jan 06, 2023

Show notes

We all have stories. It’s just that Pat Healy’s are better than yours. If you’re Gabe, you know Pat from his directorial debut “Take Me” (now streaming on Netflix!)— but if you’re like the rest of us, you know Pat from fucking EVERYTHING! “Ghost World”, “Magnolia”, “Cheap Thrills”, “Compliance”, “The Post”, “The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford” — fucking “Better Call Saul”! He also hung out at Steppenwolf with Michael Shannon, Terry Kinney, and goddamned STEVE MARTIN!!! So just kick back, shut up, and listen to Pat tell you about the time he cried in Steven Spielberg’s office. You’re welcome.

98. LIFERS - Dumb And Dumber Dec 30, 2022

Show notes

In anticipation of Local H’s DUMB AND DUMBER themed New Year’s Eve shows this weekend in Milwaukee and Chicago (at Shank Hall and Bottom Lounge, respectively), the guys sit down and watch the unrated “extended” version of the 1994 Farrelly Brothers classic starring Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, and Duff. To provide some history and much needed analysis, we asked our resident D&D expert —Justine McMahon— to join us for our third “audio commentary” episode. So if you don’t know, here’s how it works: Turn the sound down on your TV and when Ben gives you the signal —“3, 2, 1, GO!”— press play on your copy (or stream) of DUMB AND DUMBER (make sure it’s the uncut and unrated version) and then follow us to a place where the beer flows like wine and beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. We’re talking about a little place called The LIFERS Podcast.

97. LIFERS - Kyle Stevenson Dec 23, 2022

Show notes

Sometimes you go out on tour with a band and you can’t wait for the tour to be over so you can get away from that band. And then sometimes you go out with a band and they become your new best friends. For Local H, that band is Helmet. On this frigid Christmas weekend we are joined by Wisconsin native, Helmet drummer, and all-around swell guy Kyle Stevenson. We talk to Kyle about moving to L.A., having a plane fly into your apartment building, Big Collapse, Ozzfest, murderous kangaroos, Flitter, drunk stories, the Indie Drummer Collective, Harry Schmerler, and where the hell is Gabe’s jacket?

96. LIFERS - Katie Augustyn + Here Comes The Zoom Dec 16, 2022

Show notes

On a super sized episode of the show: Scott returns home from the final leg of the HERE COMES THE ZOO tour (in Canada!) and joins Ben and Gabe for a chat with KT’s Kids founder Katie Augustyn about the annual benefit show happening at Liar’s Club this Saturday. As an added bonus, Ben went and set up a special social media Zoom invite so we could do a Q&A with anybody who wanted to tap in. Was it a success? Who made the cut? Did Gabe manage to stay awake? Listen and find out. https://www.zuma.live/event/76?fbclid=IwAR0pThAKwJeR_nr8v7C28yguaf7ZWUGsakcQUnOPH2oxVw8R_G7dMXNsh_Y

95. LIFERS - Road Report #17: Holy(sm)oke(s) Mass. Dec 09, 2022

Show notes

On their day off, Local H decided to play an acoustic show at a dispensary in Holyoke. And then this happened. The guys ramble about Boston (the town), Deee-lite, pickle quesadillas, Christine McVie, un-punk things that Gabe does, Pat Healy movies, Chinese food, the Shues, soccer, and being Poo-Bum kingmakers.

94. LIFERS - Road Report #16: Charlotte Rambling Dec 03, 2022

Show notes

On a road report from Charlotte that can only be described as Poo Bum Poo Bum, the guys discuss Robert Conrad, Kanye Twitty, bowling vs. soccer, how to say “Blacow”, getting tongue tied in front of James Hetfield, Ben’s not a banana guy, Ryan’s a “Ghost” fan, no one’s advocating for Ted Nugent, Scott comes around to the Bad Religion Christmas album, the greatest whistle songs of all time, Gabe holds a grudge, and so much less. Best of luck with this one.

93. LIFERS - Chris Anzalone Nov 25, 2022

Show notes

On this week’s episode we have a laid back hang with our friend Chris Anzolone — a great drummer and a long time fixture of the Boston music scene who, in a stroke of mid-life clarity, decided it would be fun to run a record store. So he bought Boston’s Stereo Jack’s and VOILA! He’s the proud owner of a record store in the Somerville area. There’s a little more to it than that — and we get into it. ALSO: Pesto, being a working musician, football vs. football, Evan Dando on the Vineyard, Dolly Parton, and Gabe finally says the “p” word.

92. LIFERS - Mike Willison Nov 18, 2022

Show notes

Mike Willison is one of the lifers in Scott’s life, so this episode is full of — shall we say “inside baseball”? Some of that baseball includes: Figdish, Caviar, The Prairie Cartel, beard growing contests, salt water colonics on the road, sommeliers, Lou Reed taking all your money, Merit Badge, Portland, and the LONDON Suede. Also: The guys get Gabe to say a bad word.

91. LIFERS - Steve Barton Nov 11, 2022

Show notes

Steve Barton is living the dream. After years of near-misses and being ignored, Barton has finally hit the indie-horror bullseye as an executive producer of Damien Leone’s surprise hit “Terrifier 2” — and he’s savoring every goddamn minute of it. Steve tells us about being a life-long horror devotee, his time at Dread Central, being Uncle Creepy, hero-peeing in George Romero’s hotel bathroom, smoking pot out of carrots with Sid Haig, looking like Paul Di’Anno (well, according to Gabe), why low budget horror is the best horror, and still being —above all— a fucking FAN of all of it!
