Dylan and Johnny sit down with Max Gerlock, lead guitarist, vocalist, and founder of Super Cassette. Since 2016, Super Cassette has been serving up irresistibly catchy indie-pop across the Bay, and if you haven’t tuned in yet, now’s the perfect time to catch the wave! In this banter-filled episode, Max pulls back the curtain on their creative process, which balances sharp analysis with raw introspection and a relentless chase for melody. We also dig into the video games that shaped their love of music, proving once again that geeks and nerds reign supreme. This time, with an indie rock star leading the charge. Huzzah!

On this episode of Bay Waves, Johnny and Dylan chat about the Labubu craze taking over the Bay Area, Dylan's fraught birthday plans at Great America, and the Dog Surfing Championship held in Pacifica. Raw opinions about the Labubus may rub some the wrong way, but just remember all trends go away sometime (we hope).

Dylan and Johnny are joined by Geulah Finman, a Bay Area standup comedian, Neo-Futurist performer, and daughter of a literal clown. Geulah dives into her quest to hit 1,000 standup sets, unpacks the strange art of dream-reciting, and gives sage advice to a few guys with existential crises. Dylan and Johnny butcher her name enough times to leave her thirsty for a prayer and a coffee from Caffe Trieste.
