Nick welcomes music journalist Jim Ryan from Forbes.com to chat about some recent concerts he’s attended, including Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Sheila E, Def Leppard, and even Barry Manilow (which only cost him $8 on StubHub). They also discuss some cool interviews Jim has done with McKenna Grace (the talented young actress from the new “Ghostbusters” movies), Gavin Rossdale, Mike Einziger, and more.

Then, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to share funny karaoke stories, and they continue their hilarious discussion of the magical early 2000s, reminiscing about the era of Gnarls Barkley, Teen Vogue, and Silly Bandz. Plus, they finish up their culinary tour of India. [Ep273]
