Ever since we recorded this episode, back in 2018 with Justin Brannan, (founding member of NYHC band, Indecision), his political star has been on the rise. Now, he's on the brink of becoming NYC Comptroller where he would oversee the largest municipal budget in the country. Of course we're talking pizza and conspiracy theories in this episode but listen thru to the outro where we essentially endorse him for president.

From the legendary Skid Row, bassist Rachel Bolan sits down with Benny (in the flesh!) to talk about his music origins, from seeing KISS for the first time and taking up bass so he could be Gene Simmons, to jumping from the club straight into the arena, opening for Bon Jovi. It's a truly lovely, fun conversation that we know you're going to enjoy.
