Stub Me Down Season 06 Episode 06: Framing the Narrative with Nate Federman

It’s all subjective, right? Music, tv, or any sort of consumable media (including podcasts). Skinny and JW welcome television writer (and notorious hook up for the elderly) Nate Federman to Episode 6 Season 6 of Stub Me Down Podcast. Nate shares some stories from his time in the writer’s room on The Office and has the fellas rolling on the floor as he describes his hysterical cameo on the show. Nate’s stub down takes the trio to Las Vegas for a show "that had a M Night Shyamalan level story twist in it and was easily the most emotional” he's ever been at a show. Part one of two! Thanks for your time, Nate!

Setlist choices, the role and demise of Brent Mydland, and an extended Dark Star highlight the conversation as SMD finally gets the last of the Wooks to stub us down. Thanks for listening!
