Whisky Waffle Episode 76 - The 2024 Waffle Awards

Join Andy and Brian, as they open up the Porch to let in all the mellifluous sounds of the Bay Area.

Brian's Mea Culpa: I guessed multiple rappers who aren't even from the Bay Area, and this is embarrassing. Also, "Blow the Whistle" is an all-time jam and definitely should have been Number 1 with a bullet on this list.

Ep. 48 - Tres (Trays) of Bass (Bay Area Hip-Hop Artists)

Welcome back to the Porch! Another week, another foster dog. Bam Bam is now loving her permanent family and getting spoiled rotten. 

The cutie in this week's photo is Zeke! He's a chihuahua mix who weighs 6 lbs and is about a year old. He just came in from Kentucky with Nappy Roots, and we are looking to get him into a permanent home. Please go to www.tinyntallrescue.com and fill out an application if you live in the Chicago area and want the most adorable little dog in the world (outside of Luna, Otis and Rosie, of course).

This week, we are talking three of Brian's favorite beats and verses of all time. (SPOILER ALERT: If you want to guess the beats along with Andy, listen to the episode before reading further).
