Nina’s voice is compromised once again, but this time, it’s Alan Schilke’s fault.

Evan’s drinkin’ huckleberry soda. We talk about Plum, Guiding Light, Black Marble, Xanny Stars, Clean Slate, and Que Lindo.

Plus, Evan and Nina take a long walk through recent ponderings—seeing “Weird Al” live, hearing bluegrass gossip about troublemaking cloggers, the rebranded resurgence of FKA Altoids Sours, the possibility of violet-flavored Choward’s, Jeni’s Ice Cream flavors that unsurprisingly freak it, the backyard black raspberry crop, seeing The Fly for the first time, and of course, the identity of Carrot Bruce.

As Midwestern punk podcasters who love snacks, we finally talk about Culver’s and chalky candies. Nina introduces Evan to Sky Bar, who immediately creates the Sky Bar Challenge. This time we discuss new records by Roberta Lips, Non Plus Temps, the Annabel and Calendars split, L.O.T.I.O.N., Quitters, and Body Suit.

Don’t go down to the basement (to watch D. Sablu) while the Knicks lock down their historic game four comeback. Two decadent desserts: butterscotch budino and Stuf of Doom Oreos. We stan toot meme kings Miles Davis and Victor Von Doom. We’re mall walking, we’re demanding some globes (again), and we’re talking about new records from Buckets, Cherry Cheeks, Potluck!, Finale, Reveal Yourself, and the Sex Shoppe.
