On August 9, 2025, in exactly one year, three months and one day later, jesse and jamilah saw Bad Religion (this time with Dropkick Murphys and the Mainliners) at Pier 17 in NYC.  Given the cancellation of last autumn's tour, jamilah had been waiting excitedly for this mini tour.  So of course, she wanted to record any first impressions jesse (in particular) had- did he still think they were mid as a live band?   This episode was recorded immediately after the show (with two very tired people who were running on very little sleep), so thoughts (obviously) were not fully formed, and surely, some things were wrong.  Once jamilah attends the following two shows in New Jersey next week, there most likely will be an episode with some actually coherent thoughts.   (Intro: Performance from MTV's Most Wanted, 2 February 1995, hosted by Ray Cokes) Thank you for listening!
