In another exciting(?) episode of Untold Stories, The Squids receive a complaint but get distracted when they try to read a text message. They also discuss a variety of topics including bad hotels, lame tourist attractions, sightseeing in the dark, failing at foreign languages, fashion don'ts, and more.

This week The Squids welcome a new resident into town. Jeremy Alan Gould of The Rumors Are True podcast joins the conversation as they talk about Furnace Fest, music, promoting shows, and more. Brock Dittus peppers Jeremy with ridiculous questions while on an airplane and they see if he can survive a round of The Rumors Are False.

This week the legendary Brock Dittus comes up with a new revenue stream for the podcast, they perform some quick fact checks, and our intrepid reporter Missy checks in about the latest Five Iron Frenzy concert.

In part two of a 6 hour session, The Squids and Josh talk coffee, motorcycles, and hobbies. The discuss people with similar names before talking classic CCM Hip-Hop and discovering new music in a pre-internet world. They receive an epic voicemail and Kevin's Zoom crashes. Further discussions revolve around Talent Shows, Kangaroos, Branson/Brandston, and eventually decide to call it a night. (Except it was technically morning by then.)

This week The Squids talk nonsense and are joined by fellow Parking Lot Whiskey member Josh. They get a message from a listener with a confused GPS, step into the MuteMath corner and talk about drinking in part one of a marathon 6 hour recording session. Don't worry, I edited it down. A lot.
