The boys welcome very special guest Brendan Bayliss to the podcast for part 2 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 2, dig in and get Bayliss' various thoughts on the nerdy detes and track-by-track from this splendid album.  Topics include lyrics, setlists, egos, Yngwie Malmsteen...and wishing our new pal well until we see him and his band on the road again very soon!!
