AJJ is an American folk punk band from Phoenix, Arizona, originally formed in 2004 as Andrew Jackson Jihad. Their lyrics handle themes of shyness, poverty and more. The band has undergone many changes but the constant is Sean, who we speak to today. Hear about the band's journey through the Phoenix punk scene and how he's managed to stay afloat in times of uncertainty. They also make my new favorite song, "Body Terror Song." So I play that at the end.
AJJ is on tour this fall! Go get tickets at https://www.ajjtheband.com/
Sometimes you find out you're best friends with folks who you just never met yet.

Mike "The Hitman" Wright of The Fantasy Footballers wanted me to call him "Mr. Wright, but I couldn't do that-- though he's often right.

The gang will hit the road this summer, with a live show happening in Phoenix on August 28, come through and if you see me, say what's up.

Ran and Marcos break down arguably the best episode of the series, with talks about if Man At Arms is the GOAT (spoiler, he is), Evil Lyn just being Lyn, if Orko's days are numbered, and the journey to H-E double hockey sticks. Ran impersonates the old Mer-Man voice and it's silly.
