Two guests! Two live performances! Amazing!
To wrap up 2018, Hi Ho (Gillian McGhee) and OUTDrejas joined me for conversation and live performances inside a CX-5 on the showroom floor of The Autobarn Mazda of Evanston. It was an amazing day for the podcast, and a thrill to record at the Autobarn Mazda of Evanston. We'll definitely be doing this again! Here's what you'll hear in this episode:
Hi Ho segment
LIVE PERFORMANCE: "WHISKEY SHEETS"
TOPICS:
- Gillian's 101 Dalmatians sweater and its long history in her wardrobe.
- What would Gillian eat, if we were allowed to eat in a new car on a showroom floor?
- The evolution of Hi Ho and Turnspit.
- Hi Ho took a backseat to Turnspit for a while. GILLIAN'S IN A LITERAL BACKSEAT. OMG.
- Gillian's moment on stage with Rise Against ("I sobbed for 20 minutes afterwards").
- "Were you a fat five-year-old?"

OUTDREJAS segment
LIVE PERFORMANCE: "WE'LL FIGHT THE FIGHT"
