In the penultimate episode of season 3 of Stub Me Down, JW pulls a recent show during which he experienced some of the best versions of tunes he has ever seen. Skinny was there too (for most of this one) and experienced similar thoughts with several songs. While it was not quite Trey Band, it was also not quite Phish. Perhaps a third plane of existence was created on this night, and perhaps Dezron Douglas was the key to unlocking this new dimension.
Skinny pulls the stub for Episode 8 of Stub Me Down Season 3, but JW throws him for a loop with his reaction to this show from 2013. Skinny's affinity for this one is not met by dubs, who takes an unusually contrarian (as much as possible) view of the setlist. Still, the fellas find consensus on a few tunes as they feature their own "Odd Couple" tease.
JW and Skinny take a trip up to the Star Pavilion in Hershey Park. The fellas discuss the pit, a parking lot for a venue, and pioneers in music and chocolate!

Skinny and JW welcome in Bravo TV's Below Deck star Ed Lucas to Stub Me Down for a very special episode 6 conversation! From luxury yachts to tug boats, Ed shares details of his professional life, much to the chagrin of Skinny. But despite Skinny's lack of interest in boats, he suffers through Ed and JW geeking out about all things nautical and is rewarded with a great conversation about Ed's first Phish show back in 1996. We are everywhere!
Skinny and JW get together with fellow podcaster and friend Brian Weinstein of Attendance Bias to relive the April New Years Eve run from Madison Square Garden!

Always a great time to collaborate!
JW and Skinny have the longest conversation ever on Stub Me Down with Matt "Phammertime" Campbell! Phammer talks about the Twitterverse, Wook plus, and the community organization PHRE. Eventually, the fellas discuss Phammer's 2.0 stub down, and it's a good one!
We Are Everywhere! Author Peter Conners joins JW and Skinny in Episode 3, Season 3 of Stub Me Down to discuss his new book Merch Table Blues and his take on the early Phish scene through the lens of a superior show from the 1991 Horns Tour. Peter and the fellas chat about the underbelly of the jam band scene, lament the gradual disappearance of ticket stubs, and of course explore some nerdery stats from the time period.

The fellas take a trip back to their first road trip together, with JW stubbing Skinny down (in-person no less!) on a show in Philad...er...Upper Darby, PA in 2000. You could say that this was the show that started it all and the music hasn't stopped since.

Skinny stubs down JW in Episode 7 of Stub Me Down season 2, reliving a personally significant show from 2016. A great show on paper, the setlist was packed with heavy hitters, a couple bust outs, some rarities, but not much jamming. Of course, this show was more about the company we keep than the music played that night!

The first of 2 parts, the View from The Lot Part One covers the first set of this magical show while Skinny tries to get to the essence of the lot!
Skinny pulls the stub for Episode 5 of Season 2 of Stub Me Down, keying a conversation on a Baker's Dozen show from 2017.

JW stubs Skinny all the way down to New Orleans in the penultimate episode of season one, reminiscing about a busy night at the State Palace Theater from 2002.
