Eat the Brick Ep 33 : 'Gas Station Coffee'

This episode was recorded a few weeks before it aired while we were stocking up on episodes before Joel disappeared to Alaska for the summer. Most of this conversation centers around life as a touring musician—the good, the bad, and the weird. We get into what it's actually like making a living on the road, the routines you fall into, the miles, the food, and the mindset it takes to keep going. Along the way, we somehow end up talking about Joel's legendary gas station coffee recipe, Skyline Chili, and why failure isn't always failure. Sometimes the gigs that don't go as planned end up teaching you the most, and sometimes the stories that come out of them are better than the successful ones. If you've ever wondered what life looks like behind the scenes for independent musicians, or if you just enjoy two friends chasing rabbit trails through music, travel, and questionable food choices, this one's for you.
