Summary

This week, the Bayer siblings are thrilled to welcome comedian and fellow Clevelander, Dave Hill to the podcast! They're talking about growing up in the city that rocks, Dave rocking all the way to the stage of the Jon Stewart Show with his band Sons Of Elvis and how this catholic school kid became a force to reckon with in the world of entertainment. We also discuss formative concert experiences—including the Guns 'N Roses show Jonah and Dave both saw in 1991 and the very different takeaways they had due to their relatively minor, but at the time major differences in age. (Spoiler alert: Dave's mom didn't take him to the concert.) Plus, we potentially make some headway in the mystery of whether Jewel played at a beloved coffee shop in Cleveland? Finally, in a rousing game of CHANGE.DORK, the three of us debate the merits of Dave getting let back on Twitter, a Cleveland NHL expansion and should Jacob grow a Tony Iommi style mustache? Should Dave grow one? You'll have to listen to find out!

0:41.7	But this guest has unlocked a lot of my own experiences from growing up in Cleveland.

0:50.8	Right.
0:51.2	Like, I'll give you an example.
0:52.6	I'm keeping me very vague. Like,
0:59.2	one time I was in a band called The Love Kill we recorded with this guy, Don Depew,
1:04.4	from this band Breaker when I was young. I was like 22, 23. And I remember Don being like,
1:14.5	Jay Maskis is playing this bachelor party at the studio I work at. you know, you should come hang out. And you know how when you're in your early 20s, like you'll just go to stuff. You're not invited to you.
1:19.1	And just be like, I should just go to this. Like now I would be like nervous to go if I was even invited by the person hosting it. I'd be like, did they really like me? But I was like, okay. And I just went, showed up, hung out, watched the show, was really cool, didn't talk to anyone. And then it was like, I guess I'll just go home. And I never really thought about it again. And then I remember becoming friends with our guests and asking about it. He was like, oh, yeah, that was this person's party. I know that, you know, and he gave me the whole backstory. And there's, I think we'll discover more of those moments throughout the podcast. But so many Cleveland music moments that me and this person were at that I never really understood why I was there.
1:50.8	We got to introduce this guy because I can't wait to, this is a treasure hunt?
1:55.1	Because we're going to make so many discoveries.
