In this special January episode, Jamey and Matt welcomed our old friend Jon Dabrunz as our guest for a lively and nostalgic discussion. We kicked things off with introductions and shared the beers we were enjoying. The main event? A high-stakes Battle of the Bands Showdown, where we tackled the first round of an epic bracket featuring iconic 80’s hairbands, narrowing down the contenders for the next round. The Battle of the Bands will continue throughout the 2025 podcasts.
As we do every January, we also paid tribute to notable figures we lost over the past year, reflecting on their impact and legacy.
Tune in for music debates, laughter, and a toast to the past as we kick off the new year in style!
