  1. Jon Jourdan - Mammoth

    3 DAYS AGO

    Jon Jourdan - Mammoth

    It was a long awaited pleasure to catch up with Mammoth and To Whom It May guitarist Jon Jourdan and get the backgrounds on his past and present crew of pit bulls. We get introduced to his current dog Mucca, a 6 or 7 year old rescued bait dog, and pay tribute to his previous dogs Nelson and Luna who each have their own rescue sagas. We also dive into his Instagram page @tourpups where Jon shares photos of the dogs (aka "angel babies) he meets while touring the world. Great chat from a pit bull advocate we applaud for his patience, dedication and knowledge. Jon will be on the road with Mammoth on The End Tour starting March 5th in Buffalo, NY. Visit mammoth.band for dates and tickets. This week's shout outs from Jon go to Rock and Roll Rescue and Red Collar Rescue. Rock and Roll Rescue is spearheaded by Keli Izumine, a hospice mom to super seniors and terminally ill discarded animals, and Tokyo Hiro.

    Stephen Brodsky - Cave In, Mutoid Man, Solo Artist

    This week we welcome prolific artist Stephen Brodsky to the podcast. Stephen introduces us to his 5 year old dog Cora, a.k.a. "Hard Cora" whose DNA test came in right after our recording and listed her as 73.4% American Bully, 20.8% Bulldog and 5.8% Frenchie. Great talk that covers how not every foster to adopt works out, Stephen's time in New York City as a dog walker and the challenges of being a vegan as a teen in the mid 90's. Stephen will be celebrating the release of Cut To The Core Vol. 1 & 2 , his re-imagined 90's hardcore covers, with three west coast shows on February 5th at Whistle Stop Bar in San Diego, 2/6 at Harvard & Stone in Los Angeles and 2/7 at Wayfarer in Costa Mesa. For more info visit stephenbrodsky.bandcamp.com Stephen's shout out goes to Sweet Paws Rescue (SPR), a grassroots, non-profit animal rescue based in Massachusetts who work within two of the poorest counties in Mississippi and Alabama to rescue close to 22,000 dogs and cats since 2011 that would not have a chance at life otherwise.

    Fred Coury

    This week we welcome original Cinderella drummer Fred Coury to the show. Fred introduces us to his "soul mate" Penelope, a 16 year old Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix, and Wally, a 12 year old mystery mutt perceived as "unrescuable" by the shelter. We also touch upon on Sammie who crossed the rainbow bridge a few years back. A lot of great stories and insights on animal advocacy, fellow dog loving peers and the benefits of studio dogs. Aside from his drumming prowess, Fred is a respected and a much sought after Emmy award winning composer for tv, movies, sports teams and more. To learn more visit doublefortemusic.com Fred gave a well earned shout out to Rock N Roll Rescue of Antelope Valley which was established over 4 years ago by Joe Altieri with the mission of saving as many precious lives as possible.

    Evan Winiker - Steel Train, Range Music

    This week we're talking to musical artist and now music insider Evan Winiker who started as a bassist for the band Steel Train before pivoting to music management as the founder and managing partner at Range Music. Evan introduces us to his Cocker Spaniel Charles who healed his heart after the tragic and sudden loss of his first dog Henry. Driven by that loss, Evan established The Henry Foundation for Dog Care, a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring all dogs have access to essential veterinary care. Great talk with an empathetic dog guy who's making a positive impact for dogs in need. It should come as no surprise that this week's shout out goes to The Henry Foundation for Dog Care who are dedicated to supporting individuals and rescue organizations by providing funding for medical treatments, preventative care, and emergency services.

    Today we're joined by a true monster of rock in virtuoso guitarist John 5 (solo, Motley Crue, Rob Zombie) who introduces us to his tour savvy and clone worthy dogs Churro and Thi Thi who are no strangers to John's legion of fans. Both rescued from dire circumstances, we talk about their harrowing origins, the value they add to John's life and learn about the lesser known pups that came before them. Easily our new favorite episode from an unabashed dog guy who's not afraid to express the affection he has for his animals.

For tickets go to john-5.com John's shout outs (in consultation with his sister-in-law Renia) go to the TM Crew Senior Dog Sanctuary whose mission is to make sure that every senior dog lives out their life to the fullest, surrounded by love until the very end.

    Secret Monkey Weekend

    We're winding down 2025 with the help of the indie-pop band Secret Monkey Weekend whose start was born out of tragedy and blossomed into a remarkable family story. The trio, consisting of Jefferson Hart and his step daughters Ella and Lila, introduce us to their pair of sibling pyrenees mixes Chester and Claudine who are the "delight of our lives". Secret Monkey Weekend's latest album Lemon Drop Hammer, produced by Don Dixon (R.E.M., The Smithereens, Gin Blossoms), is a collection of songs best described as nothing short of a love letter to 80’s alt rock. To hear for yourself and buy a copy go to secretmonkeyweekend.com Jefferson, Ella and Lila give this week's shout out to Friends of Stokes Shelter who exist to rescue homeless domestic animals, to facilitate placement in new homes and to provide information and educational opportunities for pet owners regarding animal health and welfare.

    Encore Episode from March 18, 2025 (and the most popular of the year) _____________________________ Well known Rocker Dog Dad Rufus Taylor of The Darkness joined the show in the early months of 2025 to give our inquiring minds all we need to know about his Instagram famous 4 year old Boston Terrier Don. We cover "The Don's" embodiment of the Rock-n-Roll Party Cowboy lifestyle, the "train with love" philosophy his grandmother instilled in him and getting recognized in public as he scoops poop. It's a great conversation from a great appreciator of all dogs. Rufus elected to give a shout out to The Voice of Animals Foundation in Thailand, a dog rescue run by Michael Chour who's dedicated to rescuing abused and abandoned dogs in Thailand.
