#254: May Day!
May 1, 2026
The Lifers podcast hosts attempt to record an episode during the first night of the Toady's tour in Abilene, Texas, but face constant technical difficulties due to poor Wi-Fi and cell signal while Scott Lucas records from a van. Between connection dropouts and signal interruptions, Scott briefly describes their opening set which included songs like "I Saw What You Did," "Misanthrope," "Everyone Alive," and "Bound for the Floor," while the hosts debate movies featuring Rachel Ward, James Foley films, and whether Scott should release the episode or use pre-recorded material instead. The recording devolves into a chaotic but comedic exercise in trying to maintain a conversation despite repeatedly losing connection, with the hosts joking about the technical disasters while Gabe eats Tombstone pizza during his lunch break.
