Pops on Hops Barry Hummel and Abigail Hummel

Barry and Abigail discuss Twilight Time by Bennie Wallace and sample Time Stands Still, Twinger, Mangoes At Work, and They Call Me Baltastic from Hiatus Brewing Company in Ocala, Florida.

Barry has a personal connection to Bennie Wallace through his friend “Uncle” Steve Moore, whose Oscar-nominated animated short “Redux Riding Hood” features a score written by Bennie. Watch "Redux Riding Hood" or read Uncle Steve’s blog post about its production!

Many thanks to Lucas Frank, owner and brewer of Hiatus Brewing Company, for sitting down with us to talk about the history and the branding of the brewery!

Barry shared his other Los Angeles jazz experiences at Chadney’s, across the street from the NBC Studios. One memorable performance was by trombone player Matt Finders, who was part of Tonight Show with Jay Leno Band led by Kevin Eubanks.

Check out Barry’s playlist of the songs that were covered by Bennie Wallace on this album!

Abigail could not help but hear Silver Bells in The Tennessee Waltz.

Abigail and Barry compared Willie Mae to Linus and Lucy by Vince Guaraldi Trio, from the soundtrack to “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

Barry, Abigail, and special guest Nick Martino discuss Nick’s work with New York Funk Exchange and sample Exclamative Sour Series - Peachicot KISS! KISS! and Atomic Duck from Able Baker Brewing in Las Vegas, Nevada.

We were delighted to share the stage in Henderson, Nevada, with live recordings of six other podcasts: What Am I Making, Matt and Mattingly’s Ice Cream Social, Making Podcasts Great Again (on which Abigail appeared briefly; full episode on Patreon), Parenting is a Joke (on which Barry and Abigail were interviewed together, but the live episode has not yet been released), New Music for Olds (typically a written medium), and The Muckrake Political Podcast (full episode on Patreon).

Nick Martino previously appeared on Bonus: A Christmas Day's Eve! Original Songs by Our Friends from 2022 with his jazzy version of “The Christmas Song” featuring his wife Connie on vocals and his daughter Daphne on tambourine.

Our guest bartender was Matt Carlson of the What Am I Making multimedia empire. With this appearance, Matt is now the first member of our five-timers club!

Other members of New York Funk Exchange we specifically called out were vocalist Serena Fortier and rapper Cidida (who only appears on the hidden reprise of Without You after The Bailout Pt. 3 on the digital version of the album).

Tremendous thank you to Pete Dominick of the Stand Up! with Pete Dominick podcast for organizing the event, for inviting us to record live, and ultimately for creating the community that has supported our podcast so much over the years. Thank you also to Cassie and Mike Rice of Gymcats for their on-the-ground work to make the event come together.

Barry, Abigail, and surprise special guest Becky Richey discuss On My Own Two Feet by Granian and sample The One They Call Zoe and A Pale Mosaic from Hops & Grain Brewing (brewed by Austin Beerworks) in Austin, Texas.
Hops & Grain no longer has a taproom in Austin, but the two beers we sampled continue to be brewed by Austin Beerworks and are available at certain venues around Austin!
Garen Gueyikian (the songwriter, lyricist, vocalist, and primarily instrumentalist behind Granian) co-wrote BOOM BOOM with Teddi Gold, which has been used in multiple commercials, including in an Old Navy commercial from spring 2021.
Garen later formed Kill the Alarm. We played Kill the Alarm’s versions of Uncovered and Collide (compare to Granian’s versions of Uncovered and Collide).
Abigail entered On My Own into the Abigail Hummel School of Speaking Smartly About Music with a comparison to Survivor by Destiny’s Child (secondarily, I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor).
Becky posed the question of our favorite song that employs the radio static effect. Barry entered Honey Pie by The Beatles (we have officially gone zero episodes without mentioning the White Album!).
Becky compared her love of Uncovered to her love of On the Way Down by Ryan Cabrera.
Becky shared this video of Garen performing My Voice and breaking his guitar.
