Listen
Summary
Drew and Doug are back in the KVSH studio with a fresh episode of Classic Rock and Beyond, recorded June 8, 2025 – the hottest day of the year so far. This episode features a mix of music, the usual segments, and an homage to Mars Attacks.
Weird News
Arkansas – A traveler tries to check a cooler full of frog legs and squirrel meat at the airport – and ends up offering it to fellow passengers.
California – The legend of a 17th-century Spanish ship full of black pearls stranded in the desert resurfaces.
Colorado – The town of Louisville elects a short-haired tabby cat named Hazel as its second feline mayor.
Florida Man also makes an appearance – this time waterskiing up the Sewanee River, dodging gators and personal demons alike.
Things That Make Doug Mad
Returns with a summer-themed grievance: people who can’t park within the lines.
Drew and Mark Show Archives
This episode debuts a new musical feature: The Drew and Mark Show Archives, featuring a live-in-studio track from Seattle rock trio Dusty, titled Kill A Hotel, recorded live at VoV’s Jean Bosch Broadcast Studios sometime between 2016-2018.
Musically, the setlist is packed with indie and classic rock staples from the likes of Weezer, Franz Ferdinand, Coldplay, Green Day, Fleetwood Mac, and ZZ Top. Mid-show, Drew pays homage to Mars Attacks with a creatively sequenced musical break.
