River Reunion: Barns, Ballads, & Bricoleurs

Well, folks...it's another historic episode where Bill & James reunite at the river in the Tennessee mountains. This time, in a Smoky Mountain cabin with the lights dimmed to put them in the mood to riff on a Big-3-B episode. Along the way, as you've come to expect, they discuss spiders, hospital clowns, bears, condors, eagles, rainbow trout, and golf. Also, things get so deep, they call up Dr. Tim Scherman to help them dig out of their muckety muck. Feel the love!

Bob’s Your Uncle: Dylan That Is

A major early influence as noted by Tom, who placed transcriptions of Bob Dylan’s lyrics on his bedroom walls, James & Bill pay tribute to the Nobel Prize Winning Master and uncover the secret connection, that’s right folks, the first in a special series dedicated to two men with the middle name Allen. Plus condors, herons and bears, oh my, and billions and billions of passenger pigeons blotting out the sun as they fly by, this episode has it all, including a special bonus at the end. Denny Crane!

Nuns 'N' Flare Guns: Flying High Without A Net

Bill & James once again rev up the Zencastr dual-cam microphones and walk the wi-fi wire without a net for your amusement. The Flying Walendas they ain't. As you've come to expect, their discombobulated conversation eventually shakes out Bill's story of committing a mortal sin with Pope John Paul II and a bunch of nuns in Washington, D.C. with good ol' Charlie Brown as his trusty sidekick. Along the way they're talkin' Quincy Jones, Billy Joel, Regis Philbin, and, of course, Tom Waits and Primus.
