Ok, we're not going to sit here and pretend we didn’t vanish for a while. We did. But now we’re two episodes deep into this comeback tour, and frankly, we’re feeling pretty good about it.

Recorded on Memorial Day, powered by Celsius, donuts, and a near-total audio meltdown (we recovered beautifully, thank you).

Will Levy of The Story So Far returns to the pod to talk about the band playing Bottle Rock Festival in Napa and we dive deep into the mystical art of setlist building

And of course we end with the mailbag, we talk sandwiches. At a wondrous length.

We’re two episodes into the comeback, don’t call it a streak. Hit play. Get Juiced.

The Juice Intro by Glom

The Voice by RINGER

Howler by Barbed Wire

Nine Pin by Digital Thought

Bay Slap Interlude by Halo Davis

VOG: DJ Chuck Salad

Yanko’s on tour with Turnover and Balance & Composure playing Berkeley so we snuck in a mid-tour check up over some Dunkin. He got a Dunkalatte. First time in about a month we’ve all caught up since Yanko hit the road and Sammy and Brond wrapped the UK Just Friends run.

In the second segment Sammy goes suit shopping for his wedding and gets called fat by some San Francisco stores. Brond did a photo shoot for Mother Selene with Kay Dargs and somehow made it look easy.

We wrap it all up with a mailbag because the people demand it. Music in this episode: - The Juice Intro by Glom - Panic by Cheap Appeal - Nine Pin by Digital Thought (Mail Bag) - Love It by Halo Davis (Outro)

UK trilogy: complete! Three episodes, one tour, too many questionable snacks, and unforgettable moments. This episode of The Juice is the full debrief.

We just wrapped our first-ever headline tour across the UK, and now we’re back in the Bay: grateful, emotional, maybe still jet-lagged.

- Every show? Broken down. - Food? Yep, way too much. - Shoes? Discussed & admired.

Highlights? Fans singing the riffs back at us (you made us feel like rockstars). Brond got us a hawk walk in Ireland. YES! We had a hawk land on our hands next to a castle. Wild.

Oh, and Sammy showed up with cold Taco Bell chicken nuggets, more science experiment than snack. Brond kind of liked them. The sauce? Suspiciously like Cook Out. We ate them anyway. Obviously.

We’ve got a special twist too! Producer and off-camera legend Danny DeRusso finally joins us on camera.

This one’s a thank you. To the UK. To the fans. Thanks for showing up, singing loud, and making it real. We’ll unpack our suitcases eventually.
