Better late than never! A nasty bout of the flu knocked the Hulkster flat out this week, but nothing stops the milestone: Episode 200 is officially live! What a night at Caesar's Southlands Bunker. Josh and Samuel from Tobirus stepped up and tore the roof off with three killer live performances, we checked in with Emily all the way from Mexico, featured two absolute units from the SPCA for our Creature Feature, and survived a round of Pop Culture Either/Or. Reaching 200 episodes is surreal, and I want to send a massive, heartfelt thank you to everyone who has ever stepped into the Bunker or supported this madness from day one. Thank you to every guest who has sat on the couch, shared their stories, and performed on our set. A huge shoutout and endless gratitude to my collaborators over the years: Emily, Lori, Dicky, Mark, Tangiene, Hot 4 the Moment, and so many more who have poured their time, talent, and energy into building this show week after week. Thanks for your patience while I recovered. Here’s to the community, the music, and the next 200!
