Karl and Rob corral the man who inspired "Padgett's Profile," and learn about his current relationship with the NFL, how he picked up basketball at the age of 40 and how his aunt factors directly into a specific part of Norte Dame football history. The conversation multiple times drifts to Indiana in the mid-to-late 90s, and we hear Karl and Brett reflect upon the early days of Umphrey's McGee, how Ali Baba's Tahini, Juniper Tree, Stomper Bob, and other bands co-existed, Mookie the Buddhist and we of course get some Karl "August" Engelmann stories. Brett also reveals his attachment to Yo La Tengo and shares some YLT road stories including his experience traveling to Los Angeles to see them open for Trey's Ghost of the Forest project. We also learn about how Brett met Kahlil Smylie, how Brett later learned Kahlil's connection to Brett's wife Lily, when Kahlil replaced Karl in ABT, and Kahlil's current "native American prog rock band," Infinite Buffalo. Brett waxes poetic about his wife's cooking, the importance of family, his homemade tinctures, his experience as a beekeeper and his various world travels. Brett tells of the bold way he retrieved a favorite Airline guitar, and how an Umphrey's crowd parted while he delivered an unsolicited tuba to the stage in dramatic fashion. Brett and Rob compare memories about Rob's 2008 ABT Midwest trip, and lock horns over Justin Fields. Brett even admits to feeling seduced by the Detroit Lions and tells of the solace he has found in Coral Bay. The episode closes with Karl playing some Squirm Orchestra vinyl for Rob, and the two discussing this Padgett/Smylie project as they listen.
