The boys welcome very special guest Brendan Bayliss to the podcast for part 1 of a discussion and review of Umphrey's McGee's 2009 album ‘Mantis’ – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!

The gents are joined by the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of one of their favorite bands -- and in part 1, discuss what life has been like off the road...man crushes...getting put to bed by Huey Lewis...and, the fellas disclose their Top 5 Umphrey's jams of all time.  So far.  Dlya Sebya!
