In this episode we discussed Keith Urban’s cover album “flow state” released in June 2026. Dennis shared his recent vinyl purchases including Iron Maiden’s “Peace of Mind” and Weezer’s cover album, while Bill mentioned acquiring a KISS Record Store Day book. The conversation then shifted to Anika Nilles, who is currently drumming on Rush’s reunion tour. Finally, the discussion moved to when bands should retire, with examples including Bon Jovi’s recent health issues and the debate over whether legacy bands like Foreigner and the Marshall Tucker Band should continue touring with changing lineups and few to no original members.

On May 30, 2026, we got the privilege of seeing Bryan Harris, one of our biggest fans, get married. Not only did we get to bear witness, Allen got ordained to be the officiant at Bryan’s request. Among those in attendance was another of our biggest fans, David Cathey. What better way to celebrate the occasion than to have both of them join us after the ceremony to shoot the shit and bust each other’s chops. We congratulate Bryan and Jennifer and wish them a lifetime of happiness together.
