Episode 210 is live!!
On this episode I’m talking with @tbell71 — bassist for @braidofficial , @heymercedes2025 , and @fight_dice_music .
We get into balancing life as a touring musician and full-time teacher, raising a teenagers, living in Wisconsin, and how he found his way into teaching while still playing in legendary Midwest emo / indie rock bands.
Todd shares stories from the early days of Braid and Hey Mercedes, touring with Jimmy Eat World, planning shows when everyone has day jobs, traveling to Japan with his family, and what it’s like being an older dad who still feels young.
If you’re into ’90s emo, indie rock, balancing music and family, or dad life while touring, this one’s for you.

We said goodbye to our sweet and grumpy Coco today. 17 years and 4 months is a good run. An alpha in every way, the boss. A true badass. She was so sweet and my best friend. I’ll miss her so much. I love you Cokes. I hope you get ALL the people snacks and chin scratches in cat heaven. ❤️❤️❤️
