Austin and M-Balm are going down the 90s and 2000s nostalgia rabbit hole on this episode of The M-Balm Effect — talking about Toonami, classic TV shows, cartoons, growing up in the 90s and early 2000s, and all the stuff that instantly takes you back. M-Balm also recaps The Hoochenanny Whiskey & Music Festival, where he and his wife spent Saturday checking out the whiskey, live music and festival atmosphere. Then the conversation shifts into some heavier local topics, including Kyle Sage pleading guilty and allegations surrounding local musician Nick Rubin, who has performed in multiple bands in the Rochester-area music scene. Austin and M-Balm discuss the allegations that have been made publicly by multiple women in and around the area, the conversations happening around them, accountability, and more. It’s nostalgia, local news, music, whiskey, questionable memories and the kind of off-the-rails conversation you’ve come to expect from The M-Balm Effect.
