  • 70. E070 - Nick Gerlach

    01:53:52||Ep. 70
    TOUCHDOWNS ALL DAY w/ JON BARBER & MAX DAWSON.E70 - Nick Gerlach - Before getting to this week's episode, we at Touchdowns All Day would like to acknowledge the passing of our brother Johnny R. Goode III. JRG3 was the Disco Biscuits' lighting designer for more than two decades, and his artistry behind the console was a defining element of live Bisco. Beyond that, Johnny was a loyal friend, a generous mentor, a father, and a diehard Biscuits fan. Touchdowns All Day will be dedicating a future episode of the podcast to Johnny, and we'd like you to be a part of it. If you have a memory of Johnny - or his lights - that you'd like to share, please call it in to the Touchdowns All Day hotline at (424) 666-SIYD. Make sure to leave your name and let us know where you're calling from. And, if you are able, please consider donating to the GoFundMe to help defray some of the cost's associated with Johnny's memorial. On to this week's episode...Jon and Max welcome saxophonist, podcaster, trivia maven, and cult leader Nick Gerlach to the show. Nick is a prolific sideman, having performed alongside Michal Menert, The String Cheese Incident, Ryan Adams, Umphrey’s McGee, Sunsquabi, and Opiou, amongst others. He's also the co-host of Andy Frasco's hilarious World Saving Podcast and the MC of Denver's number one trivia night. Nick has just released a new EP, Concrete Lullaby, and he joins Barber and Max for a wide-ranging conversation on jambands, flat Earth theory, alien invasion, rap beefs, the apocalypse, and various other important topics.
