For this week’s episode, the boys welcome a friend of the podcast, multi talented musician, and social media mogul, Austen Reno. You can listen to Austen’s new album, Pull Yourself Together, on Spotify. The guys talk about all things music starting with Austen’s musical lineage. His Grandfather was Don Reno who was responsible for one-half of the famous song Feudin’ Banjos. This leads to a conversation of friends who know music theory and how disgusting high school band rooms could be.

Other topics include Austen’s experience touring and living on the road, the 10-year anniversary remix of Rebecca Black's hit single "Friday", the idea of “selling out” for fame and money, and of course...the movie Rudy.

This week’s throw-down takes us to the world of sitcoms and specifically the worlds of Parks and Rec vs the Office. Ron Swanson gets pitted against Dwight Shrute in a battle of funny, tough guys with quirks. Check out the finale to find out who emerges victorious!
