The Scoped Podcast

SCOPED #55 FT. OVER ALL (Atlanta Hard Rock Band)

Over All is my special guest today! I'm finally getting more metal on the podcast and it makes me happy happy! The rock and metal scenes here in Atlanta consist of so much amazing talent. This was a great conversation with a really cool group of guys. We chat about the fun and craziness of being a father, how even heavy metal singers derive their sound from a variety of influences, how we all got interested in this crazy ass world of metal, old guys letting it all hang out at the YMCA and an awesome round of 20 questions! Enjoy!

SCOPED #54 FT. THE LAST TYCOON (Atlanta Folk Rock Band)

The Last Tycoon is my special guest today! This was one hell of a good time! When it comes to energy levels, John is in a league of his own. I think I kinda want to be best friends with this dude. He has a insane knowledge of music and we nerd out about plenty of music and film. He still uses an atlas when driving cross-country, which he recommends everyone trying at least once. Ali Mac from KICKS 101.5 dropped in on the later half of the episode and the laughs and craziness followed with it. We talk aircheck sessions and the time she forgot a very important song during an emcee event. Fun, crazy and one hell of a good time. Enjoy!

SCOPED #53 FT. HOUNDS (Atlanta Metal Band)

Hounds is my special guest today! What an amazing band and even better group of guys! Killer conversation. We talk about today's metal scene and it's lack of representation in the mainstream, all these things Hounds, moms and their amazing? support, the adventures of touring, the new dating term "sneating" and an amazing round of 20 questions. Enjoy!

SCOPED #52 FT. H.F.F. (Atlanta Metal Band)

H.F.F is my special guest today! Awesome group of guys. Was told about them by a good buddy of mine (people find it strange how we know each other) and they are kickass. They are definitely a different style than normal on the podcast, but that's a good thing. We hit on hangovers as you age, bands and their countless drummers, Scofflaw's Goat, the hardship of being a "good guy" in today's world and loud chewers. Craziness as always! I debut the rap song I recorded and I think I did pretty damn good. Enjoy!

SCOPED #51 FT. YOUTH AS GOLD (Atlanta Rock Band)

Youth As Gold is my special guest today! What a great conversation. I absolutely love their music and what they're putting out. Think folky, Americano and some good ole fashioned rock n' roll! I admitted something to these guys I've never admitted to anyone else. It went on during my high school days and somehow they got it out of me. We talk the ROCK scene here in Atlanta, how they formed as a band. lots of craziness and as always, 20 questions. Enjoy!

SCOPED #50 FT. THE FILL INS #2 (Charlotte Rock Band)

The Fill Ins are my special guest today for their second appearance on the podcast! I truly love and enjoy this band. They're a killer band out of Charlotte, NC and they love playing them some Atlanta ROCK. Always a great conversation with these dudes. We are all foodies, so we touch on some of our favorites. If you pay me enough, I will endorse anything. They put me to the test. We also hit on the Atlanta scene, Mikey always taking his shots at me, how kids suck these days and a great round of 20 questions. Enjoy!

SCOPED #49 FT TOMAS HOLGADO (Atlanta Luthier)

Tomas Holgado is my special guest today! I have stopped trying to be as cool as my guests. I simply gave up. I know it will never happen, so might as well just be me. Great conversation with an even better person. Tomas is doing great things in Atlanta for musicians and the scene as a whole. He owns and operates Holgado Guitar Works and is amazing at it. We talk how he got started, the process of repairing and building, his stint at Georgia Tech, how he came from Argentina and an awesome round of 20 questions! That and always, tons of craziness. Enjoy!

SCOPED #48 FT. THE STAY SEXY SOCIAL

The 'Stay Sexy Social' is my special guest today! This is such a great event benefiting a great cause. It's happening November 11th at Center Stage and features The Royal Turns, Cure My Enemy and The Pussywillows, all of whom are badass people. This was definitely a serious podcast in a lot of ways, but with plenty of laughs! At one point, I had to lighten things up with a Olive Garden story....that no one got! Made me feel super awkward. Great people that I truly enjoyed having a conversation with and getting to know. As always, a round of 20 questions! Enjoy!

SCOPED #47 - THE LAST CHANCE RIDERS (Atlanta Rock Band)

The Last Chance Riders are my special guest today! I LOVE these people . It felt like it took forever, but we finally got them in and recorded a podcast, and it got crazy! We contemplate life after death, they get me to admit some crazy things, DeWitt's stint in stand-up comedy, I tell my funniest joke and as always, 20 questions. You also get to hear the badass single "Downright Disgusted!" Enjoy!

SCOPED #46 FT WICKED ANIMAL (Atlanta Rock Band)

Wicked Animal is my special guest today! Awesome group of guys. It's not often I interview a band that I've never met or seen their live show, so we completely went into this without knowing anything about each other. I think that made the conversation even better, finding out first hand how crazy we all are! We hit on the time I tried calf brains, my desire to go to the Farmer's Market, what makes Wicked Animal different from other bands in Atlanta, Tim's trouble with the high dive and as always, 20 questions. Enjoy!
