## Resource

If you like hearing podcast hosts stumble through being starstruck then this is the episode for you! Joining Mark and Blake for this one is Greg Barnett of The Menzingers. The Scranton, PA band has been active for over TWENTY years now which is just as wild to you as it is to Greg. We talk about the bands long history and how they keep churning out strong record after strong record. We dig into the bands early years, moving from Scranton to Philly, touring constantly, band dynamics, signing to Epitaph, and what the future holds for the band. If you want to hear about NEW MENZINGERS MUSIC, you'll want to listen to this one. Most importantly, we spend a LOT of time talking about Fest. The Menzingers are among the all-time leaders in most Fests played (trust me, I counted) and we play a fun game of lightening round questions, where Greg shares a ton of really good Fest stories. It's honestly, just the most fun. The Menzingers are going to be busy in the coming months, so keep an eye on all of their socials for news on all that good stuff. ***Check out Itsa Cookie Bakery on Instagram***
