Beastie superfans and Delta Bravo explorers, Andy Katz and Mike Kearney regale us with details of their trip out west in search of hallowed Beastie landmarks. What they were able to accomplish would have surely even impressed Ponce De León. What are pyramids when you have sidewalks, basketball hoops, and swimming pools to explore?

As Hello Nasty celebrates its 25th trip around the sun, this episode of The Brouhaha takes a look at the Beastie Boys' 1998 release in another dimension. We won't go beyond that, otherwise we'd spoil it all, but besides doing an extraterrestrial-like Silver Anniversary autopsy on Hello Nasty, we also bring back our "20 Questions" contest and see if a grown-ass, 55-year-old diehard Beastie Boys fan can win a robot and squid monster play-set.

The premise of this episode is simple: I recap every Beastie Boys' live performance I ever saw. Unlike the Beastie Boys, and this is no diss, I have successfully completed a Pt. 1 and Pt. 2. (I will amend this post after the Beastie Boys release Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1). #WatchTheFinger

The host of The Brouhaha, Jim Shearer (that would be me writing in third person), takes a trip down memory lane and attempts to log all of the Beastie Boys live performances that he's witnessed in his lifetime. Fortunately, he saw them so many times it will require an additional episode, hence this one being called "Pt. 1."

Andre Kelman, aka "The Prince of Sides," talks about scoring a sound engineer gig at Oscilloscope Laboratories in his early-20s. Andre also dishes on what it was like working on Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2, recording sessions with Kanye West and Jack White, the lost Beastie Boys' track "Bundt Cake," and, obviously, his knack for always ordering up the perfect side-dish (hence his royal nickname).
