Sunday night I went by the Westport Funny Bone in St.Louis, MO to see my friend and one of my favorite comics Adam Ray perform. After the show, Adam & myself drove to the Courtyard Marriott and knocked out a podcast. I've been a huge fan of Adam's work from his stand up comedy, his movie appearances in The Heat & Spy to his podcast About Last Night with Brad Williams. It was a real honor to be able to sit and talk to him and discuss some of his experiences on his podcast, movies, working on Ghostbusters and more.

Pick up Adam's album Poptart Suicide on AdamRayTV.com, where you can also find all of his tour dates and videos.

Jan 1st I took a drive to Potosi, MO to sit and talk with Joe Glenk of New Lingo, Gabe Stroup of Sky Burnt White and Korey Smith of Apollo's Daughter.

As you can imagine, the show derailed pretty early. We just drank some Keystone Light and rambled on about a bunch of stuff including encounters with the law, best & worst shows and some of our biggest moments of 2015.

Through out the show you can hear some of the guys music.

- New Lingo "Blood Thinners"

- Sky Burnt White "Song & Dance"
