The boys are back and talking about Sunshine Girl today in this feel good, rant-free session about a song guaranteed to tug on your heartstrings.

’Merican

Erick, Lance, and Bobby talk about 'Merican, a political barnburner that doesn't pull any punches. Also, Lance learns something "new" about recording in what may be the funniest exchange we've ever recorded on Echoes Down the Road and Tommy remains unfound. Hilarious and scathing - that's how we do things around here.
