Finally, Skinny cuts the final episode! JW and Skinny take the long way to the end of the road and welcome in Colin and Matt, two of Skinny's former students, to talk about Goosemas! It took a long time to get here, but the conversation is great, and young people really know how to talk music! We will be back for Season 8 eventually, but give this a listen while you wait! Thanks for listening! We appreciate it!

Stub Me Down closes out the Annapolis Baygrass Festival on Sunday with several really fun conversations! John Bolten from Geraldine dropped by, JW chatted with artist-at-large Allie Kral, and Jesse from TopHouse shares in JW’s joy of dad jokes. Special thanks to everyone who helped us out this weekend, including our photographer Runaway Gregory, Erin Scholze from DreamSpider, Jason & Kelly Law from Festy Go Nuts, and all of the amazing staff at Baygrass! Thanks for listening!

Stub Me Down: Live on location! We hang out on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay for the 4th installment of the Annapolis Baygrass Festival, an excellent mix of blue and jam grass and headlined by one of the classic institutions in the music scene, Little Feat! Day one of the festival featured Fireside Collective, Shadowgrass, Jammy Buffet, Yonder Mountain String Band, and the aforementioned Little Feat. Our Saturday conversations include sit downs with Jesse Iaquinto (Fireside Collective), "Uncle Al” Alvin Lee (The Lee Boys), and Fred Tackett (Little Feat). Special thanks to Runaway Gregory, our photographer for the weekend, and all those who took care of us over the course of the weekend! Thanks for listening!

JW & Skinny are heading to the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in support of the 2026 Annapolis Baygrass Festival! Kelly and Jason Law from Festy Go Nuts join the fellas to chat about this incredible event held at Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis, Maryland. From the stellar lineup to local fare, music and sustainability workshops, and fun for the entire family, Baygrass is a great occasion to get outside and jam! Thanks to Kelly and Jason for sharing their excitement, and hope to see you over at Baygrass Sept. 19 & 20! Thanks for listening!

JW and Skinny welcome back Giant Country Horns great Carl Gerhard! Carl catches us up about playing music, Phish's summer tour, and even a little about his golf league. The fellas get stubbed down on an oldy but a goodie from Arrowhead Ranch in 1991. Always great to hang with a good friend about music! Thanks for listening!

JW pulls the stub for Season 7 Episode 8, taking a trip back to Virginia in 2014 for the second of 2 nights on the Elizabeth River. Skinny is a little surprised by the angle on stats from this one while discovering how many songs should be expected in a window of shows. The second set was fuego and surrendering to the flow was not hard to do! Check it wherever you get podcasts! Thanks for listening!

We are back! Or still around if anyone was wondering! Stub Me Down welcomes back a previous visitor in Season 7 Episode 7, as Chris from Phish Just Jams drops by to update us on all things PJJ! The app keeps getting better and the new features will surely help you find that jam you are looking for! Chris also stubs us down (on a single show this time), taking us back to fall 1997 for a discussion of a unique show and the longest Bathtub Gin ever! Thanks for listening, and be sure to check out Phish Just Jams, now available on Android!

It's been a minute! JW and Skinny fire it back up with a weird and wonderful Grateful Dead show from the Cap Centre in 1988! Skinny stubs down JW and discusses his after school plans, the lot scene, and the pohleece on horseback! When you go back, it's great to be there. Thanks for listening!

In what is more of a rarity these days, Skinny and JW settled into the OG format of Stub Me Down Podcast S7 E5, with JW pulling a stub from his first Phish show in 1998. An incredible setlist (that he knew nothing about in the moment) set the stage for an all-consuming and lifetime obsession. Skinny has heard these stories before, but supposedly did some research on a couple of tunes anyway! Perhaps this episode will bode well for a Phish return to Columbia, Maryland this summer. We can eat crabs at Merriweather Post! Thanks for listening!

It's too late to say Happy New Year, but we are happy about part two of our conversation with comedian and writer/producer of Impractical Jokers Mike Finoia! Mike takes JW and Skinny on a trip to Phish's New Year's Eve show from the Fleet Center in 1996. Mike chats with the dudes about his experience as a young fan, dancing his ass off in the fifth row, and how much Phish changed his musical journey. Please check out Mike's special "Don't Let Me Down" available on Youtube. Thanks for listening!

Happy Holidays! JW and Skinny welcome comedian Mike Finoia to the show to talk about his role on the hilarious television show Impractical Jokers, his stand-up career, and his love of Phish. Mike shares his thoughts on getting into jambands, Drew Carey's blender, and the grind of comedy. We get into the stub down on part two in our next episode. As always, thanks for listening!

Chatting with each of the bands on the bill was incredible, and catching up with Jeremy Kaplan and Sam Lucid from the headlining act, Dogs in a Pile, was no different. Jeremy and Sam talked about the impact of touring on their music, playing shows vs. recording albums, and how each band member contributes to the collective sound. A special day wraps up with a great conversation with a formidable band on the rise! Nothin’ left to do but smile smile smile! Thanks to Jeremy, Sam, and the rest of Dogs in a Pile! Special thanks also to Dennis Barth, Tanner Jones, and everyone at Sunrider 9 Productions and The Vortex! Thanks for listening!

SMD was the official podcast of Oktoberfest at The Vortex, a new venue in Catonsville, MD, and we kick things off with a really cool conversation with Ricky James and Rob Compa from Neighbor, a Boston band making a lot of noise in the jam scene! Skinny and JW chatted with Ricky and Rob about their complimentary playing style, creating setlists, and choosing covers.
