Summary
On this week's episode, we are joined by our old friend Dean Spunt of the band No Age! We talk about how Jonah met Dean in Los Angeles when Dean was working at a vegan restaurant, how Dean gets enough protein as a vegan for nearly 30 years and what it was like returning clothes to stores as a wardrobe stylist. We also get the definitive story of how Dean got in a car accident with one of the Backstreet Boys and ended up using his settlement money to start the punk label, Post Present Medium. We also get into Dean's early experiences of health food stores, from hanging with GT to the magic of shopping the bulk section. We also learn about the DIY roots of Erewhon, Vanessa's experience eating non-vegan butter ice cream and the importance of supporting local co-ops. We also play a game of YESTOLGIA OR NOSTALGIA where we discuss our opinions on KFC's vegetarian nuggets, the Little House On The Prairie Reboot and the return of Fruity Pebbles' birthday cake-flavored cereal. Be sure to check out No Age and Dean's solo material via Drag City Records. You can learn more about Dean's label at postpresentmedium.bandcamp.com!
