Ever wonder what it's like to grab your friends and sing on stage with Andrew McMahon? We did just that as Jimmy won the La La Lie Sweepstakes thanks to The Dear Jack Foundation. We brought our friends Amanda and Jade with us to sing and dance for this surreal experience.

Listen to the emotional roller coaster we all felt as the moment to the stage hit, and what everyone was most afraid of doing while up there. Thanks to everyone that cheered us on!

This episode wraps up season 2 of The Ultimate Mixtape. We are coming back in the new year with Season 3! Check out our website to keep up to date. www.theultimatemixtape.com

There was so much to cover for The 14th Annual Dear Jack Benefit we had to make it into multiple episodes. In this episode we talk about all the events Dear Jack put together, the fan community, and the impact of those who have benefited from the programs offered.

We break down the way we felt walking into those rooms, and how things derailed into a #jimfinity 30k tattoo. We wanted to thank all the amazing people we met over the weekend and cannot wait to connect more in the future! Shout out to all the people who won awards from Dear Jack this year, including our friend @am_chalk Lisa! We are so proud of you!

For part 2 join us with our friends Jade and Amanda who came on stage with us to sing La La Lie with Andrew McMahon. Catch that episode next Thursday!

We appreciate yall giving us more time to get these recaps together. We may be switching to Thursday permanently as New Years approaches for the SOCO shows.

Jess & Jimmy dig into the Instagram video that sent shockwaves through the AM Fam community. What does it mean for Andrew not to tour for a while, what has his schedule been like, and what can we expect for the future. We also talk about the Something Corporate New Years Eve show announcements, and what's next for the fandom.

You know we had to give a full breakdown of Something Corporate's first show with the original band in 20 years! In this episode we chat with Tyler Perrino @typerrino the Festival Guru about the SOCO sideshow from the crowd, to the setlist, to the energy of the band, and what it was like being in that room. Many have dubbed that one of the best shows they've been to ever.

We also talk about When We Were Young as a whole, with lots of mix reviews, everyone has a different opinion, but it's always music that brings us together! We also have a contest going Nov. 1 on Insta that may give some insight to what those mystery QR codes were that popped up at the shows....

We are still recovering from When We Were Young and need a little more time to give you the best recap of Something Corporate's OG lineup playing together. Check back next week to hear our interview with our festival guru Tyler Perrino @typerrino. Until then, we are reposting our chat with Steve Mitzel to get everyone hyped for The Dear Jack Benefit!

The 11/11 Benefit Tea is hot with this episode! We sit with Steve Mitzel, Interim Executive Director of The Dear Jack Foundation and longtime friend of Andrew McMahon. We talked about all the events Dear Jack has planned for their 11/11 benefit in Austin, TX this year. IT IS A CAN NOT MISS EVENT! From Dear Jack Movie screenings to VIP Brunch, listen to help plan your own trip.

If you're unfamiliar with Dear Jack, Steve was kind enough to tell us about their amazing programs helping people in real time, his past being a music lover himself, and about his life changing surfing trip with Andrew and how he can help others on their own journey.

Jess and Jimmy would like to dedicate this episode to Kris Carrier, Kris was one of the original inspirations for The Life List, who made such an impact on many Andrew fans around the globe. His smile always shined bright and his love for playing the drums came to life as he played live with Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness; Please consider donating in his honor. #Krisinthewilderness
