Kyle Morris from The Unlikely Candidates joined me this week, and somehow we ended up talking about a temporarily one-armed drummer, a months-long prank involving Blue October, inflatable llamas, the Goo Goo Dolls, and Andrew McMahon.
In other words… my kind of conversation.
Kyle shares some incredible stories from the road, including how the band’s drummer continued performing after an injury, one of the best band pranks I’ve ever heard, and some genuinely heartwarming moments with Johnny Rzeznik and Robby Takac while touring with the Goo Goo Dolls.
We also dive into Kyle’s love for Andrew McMahon’s live shows, which led to me wondering if someone had secretly briefed him on my music taste before the chat. Because between Andrew McMahon and Blue October, the conversation kept hitting two of my all-time favorite artists.
If you love behind-the-scenes music stories, tour memories, and hearing what artists are really like when the spotlight isn’t on them, this one’s for you.
