Fourth Of July!

Happy Fourth Of July! Well kind of. On this episode of the podcast we find out that Istvan is not a fan of the holiday because, like so many of us, the loud fireworks scare his dog. But we still celebrate with a barbeque and a surprise visit from our old friend Gramps. We also hear the kids from Palatine on the show and give shout outs to all the towns Istvan has played so far this summer. So thanks for dropping by for our funky 4th of July show.

Today is extra exciting because we are heading out of the studio to go on our second field trip. Toby and Istvan head to Friendly Coffee Lounge to meet their friend, talented balloon twister, Smarty Pants. Toby not only interviews Mr. Pants but kind of shows everyone how to conduct a good interview at the same time. He also tries coffee for the first time and does not like it.

Friendly Tap is a music venue, and a coffee house, a music school and a bar located on Roosevelt Road between Berwyn and Oak Park Illinois.

See the cool accompanying video of Smarty Pants giving a sample of some of the cool stuff he does. Go to Istvan’s YouTube to see for yourself.

Fondue!

Happy New Year you guys and welcome to Season 2 of the podcast! Today is a big day because it’s the debut of my first ever single. It’s a disco dance monster jam named Fondue. In our house we celebrate New Years Eve by making fondue and I thought it would be the perfect idea for a song to celebrate the start of a new year.

But that’s not all. Turns out January 3 is also National Chocolate Covered Cherry day. So lets celebrate this extra sweet day and the first episode of the new season. Thanks for listening and be sure to add Fondue to your best playlist and share it and the podcast with your family and friends. Fondue in ‘22!!!
