Surprise! It's a bonus encore episode as we gear up for the Squad Five-O documentary release party/screening/concert! Pete goes on a rant, a surprise guest appears, they talk to-go cups, field trips, slang, and more!

In today's bonus episode, The Squids kick it off with a very special voicemail before rolling into the start of the show. The Squids kill time waiting for their guest to arrive. They touch on live albums, Brock's odd copy of Extreme Days, Kevin tries to makes sense of a list of topics he wrote down 4 months ago, and Jared asks the robots about the podcast.

Jared and Kevin are joined by Adam from the band Wantlands for a fun conversation with Dana Fuggin' Bollen of the Two Week Notice podcast. You may have seen him grace the stage with Piebald where he rocks the cowbell, or perhaps slinging merch at a show with a number of bands. He is here to talk about his new project Live Free or D.I.Y. Great dude, great conversations.

This week's episode is one we recorded a while back with members of the bands Mob Boss and Casting Shadows. They discuss what makes Furnace Fest such a memorable experience, music selections for Ert's paddleboard challenge, take a dip in the MuteMath corner, and Pete talks about his adventure at an Eisley show.

This week The Squids listen to some voicemails and sit down for a conversation with Eric Stevenson of the multi-media band Pocket Vinyl. They touch on the history of the band, having a painter as a band member, puns, stickers, Lobster Fest, concerts at planetariums, get vulnerable, and have some really bizarre conversations. So basically just another fun day here in Lake Skabegon.

This week The Squids play a game of "Where is Brock?" and welcome Kylan Savage from Church James Now to what may be the most unhinged episode yet. They have lots of laughs, talk about rebranding the podcast, take a phone call on air, talk movie soundtracks, try and fail at naming a mysterious song, discover Broccoli Jesus, play some games, talk Copeland, spin the wheel of topics, and so much more.
