Episode 14 is our first late-night show (and another audio only one).

We’re back from the West Coast run and doing it PTI style like the ESPN show where two guys argue with a clock, except it’s three bandmates running through every gig, meal, and mess from the road.

Then we roll out a brand-new segment: Respectfully, No. Sammy says no to Reverend Guitars, Yanko says no to San Francisco bikers, and Brond says no to Walnut Creek’s Kinder's Deli. And of course, the mailbag because what’s the show without it?

Recorded in the Goldfield green room in Sacramento after soundcheck, two days into this lil’ West Coast headliner sprint. We’d just sold out Reno at the Holland Project on 8/1 (start the month strong, right?), and the AC is still broken because of course it is. Brandon is in the corner pouring E&J shots and handing out orange slices like some kind of demented soccer coach. Six out of seven band members made the cut (Avi, conspicuously absent). Think summer camp, except no cabins, no lake, just six friends yelling over each other in Sacramento.

Look who’s back it’s the whole gang: Sammy, Brond, and Yanko. Yanko just got off the road with Balance & Composure and Turnover (he’s still dehydrated). Brond has been running social media from a cruise and somehow ended up hanging out with one of her heavy metal heroes (no, seriously). And we all came together in one place, at the same time for Sammy’s wedding. Miracles happen. Oh, and there’s a mailbag, because of course there is. Stories and questionable wisdom… we missed this. We missed you all.

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.

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.

Recorded just a day before we hopped the pond, this episode is a Central Valley special. We’re joined by Ben from Just Friends, along with Bart and Logan from Chain: the full 559 crew in effect.

We dive into what it’s like commuting for hours, not just for band practice, but also to pile into a van and disappear for a month on tour. We unpack the legendary, steaming green mystery that is Pea Soup Andersen’s. And then it gets real: from touring the U.S. and hotel habits, to van hierarchies and the weird little rituals that come with living in a 15-passenger box with your best friends and your collective body odor.

In segment 2 we attempt optimism very cautiously. We talk about what we’re excited to eat in the UK (spoiler: yes, it involves beans at breakfast), whether British hotel rooms will have more than one electrical outlet, and what kind of emotional collapse might happen at our acoustic set at Banquet Records.

Rounding it out w the most epic mailbag one could ever hope for, narrated live by DJ Chuck Salad in the flesh. We open up the bag and it’s bursting with greatness. These questions? Straight outta our beautiful Bay Area Party People Discord, and they brought the heat like a Stockton summer.

This is Part 2 of the UK Invasion Trilogy. If you missed Episode 1, go back and do your homework. Episode 3 is coming and it’s not wearing a seatbelt.

We are back! The kickoff to our three part UK Tour series! Recorded one week before we left for our first-ever headlining tour in the UK, starting in Ireland and working our way from Glasgow down to Brighton. Yes, we’re international now.

Sammy and Brond break down what they’re looking forward to, what’s keeping them up at night, and why this tour feels different. In the second half of the episode, we drop some bittersweet news: our boy Yanko won’t be on this run. He’s heading out as a guitar tech for Balance & Composure on the Peripheral Vision 10-year tour, supporting Turnover. Huge opportunity. Huge loss. We’re not crying, you are.

We squeeze in a lil connective tissue with a meal before the mail bag, and close with the only thing that truly matters: our Taco Bell orders.

This is part one of our totally unplanned but now very real UK Tour Trilogy: • Ep 6 – One week out • Ep 7 – Night before we leave • Ep 8 – Two days after we return (exhausted, emotional, possibly still jet-lagged)

Let’s ride.
