This week on The Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown, jD is joined by superfan Alan from Federal Way, who shares his incredible journey as a Hip fan—from a life-changing moment watching Saturday Night Live to chasing down rare albums and unforgettable live show experiences (including a poker loss that cost him concert tickets—ouch!).

Alan’s passion for The Hip is undeniable, and his stories remind us why this band means so much to so many. Whether you’ve been with The Hip since Road Apples or discovered them yesterday, this episode is a deep dive into what makes their music so timeless.
