This week, I\u2019m joined by Scott Lucas of Local H for a great interview accompanied by food from Chicago institution Cubby Bear (where Local H headlined a sold-out show the night after this was recorded).

As I enjoyed my Cubby Bear brat and Scott enjoyed his veggie burger with garlic fries, we discussed:

  • Scott is \u201cMr. Lucas\u201d now. Or \u201csir,\u201d that works, too.
  • How does Scott approach a setlist for a Chicago audience?
  • The next album will be like a salad.
