In this live bonus episode, we had planned to simply be MONKEEING AROUND with special guest Derek Miner to discuss the film, Love and Mercy. However, with Brian Wilson's recent passing, our conversation took a more somber turn as we also share our memories of seeing Brian live and our thoughts on his life and career.
This episode was originally broadcast live on YouTube, 6/20/2025, on what would have been Brian's 83rd birthday.
