LIVE from Dublin: Phew!

The following was recorded live in Dublin at the Laughter Lounge on May 22nd 2024. It is accompanied by the incredible Paul Prior on keys, and features fire-jumpers, jet skis, bad medical guidance, and a number one jam from Ireland's youth. Think you can stop we we do? I doubt it, we already recoded this one (although we did somehow lose the opening banter and part of the first song, so I guess someone DID stop PART of what we do.)

The following was recorded live at The Bourbon Room in Los Angeles, on May 5th 2024. It's got the whole Fam Band (Scott Passarella on keys, Brett Morris on guitar, and Dana Wickens on the stickens)!
