The Lockdown Lizard People

The boys are back this week with news about why they met up in person, how lockdown filters out friends, how Moe speeds up his podcasts, how to survive Tsunamis and Twisters, what Stormchasers are, why parts of America made mask-wearing political, why some conspiracies have such a huge following today, and what's up with Jordan's new album.

Riff Raff and Them Funky Chords

This week, the boys list some must-watch documentaries/docu-series for the basketball fans out there, and play a game where Moe guesses who won certain categories at the recent 2021 Grammy Awards. They also touch on Eric Clapton's youthful look, how Moe breathes a little funny, and how we'll be blasted with Dylan covers once he eventually passes away.

"This Was Not About the Live Show"

Moe and Jordan are back together this week discussing the topic of how artists learn how to deal with the wide variety of feedback and criticism they receive over time. What's the ratio of positive to negative feedback necessary to change what you're creating? Is there a limit? Where is the line drawn between artist and critics? They also discuss the cons of Battle of the Bands, and the worst feedback they ever dished out.

AFI: The Musical with Emma Holmes

Musician, Singer, Songwriter, Performer, and Educator Emma Holmes joins Jordan for the 60th episode of AFI this week. In between the laughs, Emma talks about her time in France where she explored certain musical freedom that was denied to her in the UK, as well as her passion for Improv Comedy, her desire to write her own musical adaptation of The Little Prince, and how she's made educating a job she loves.

The Fancy Food Delivery Dilemma

Moe is back with Jordan this week to talk about his experiences with how the Coronavirus has affected the social and political landscape of his hometown in the Allgäu. They also talk about how post-Pandemic restaurant culture should continue delivering, home office should remain an option, and how much they can really love Munich in the long-term.

Another Solo Show: Let's Talk about the Music

With Moe out this week due to a jam-packed schedule and minor technical difficulties, Jordan takes the lead and dives into the stories that have been previously only shared on his other live show. A departure from the normal Artsy Fartsy content, we hear about his first kiss, his first guitar, and the songs that made him.

Podception & Cave Diving

While recording LIVE for the first time via the new Clubhouse App, the boys talk about Jordan's new performance video "Daily Bread," and the background story of how it got made. They also talk to the producer Jordan often works with, TIm Hecking, about the process and ideas in Jordan's new album. Then, an immigrant's perspective on foreign institutions, and how some rich, white people made a big mistake on national German television.
