   Jaret Reddick of Bowling for Soup

   On this episode of the Scandalous Podcast, I sit down with Jaret Reddick of Bowling for Soup for one of the funniest, most honest, and heartfelt conversations I’ve ever had. From the early days of Bowling for Soup to becoming one of the most beloved bands in pop punk, Jaret opens up about the highs, the chaos, mental health, finding his voice, and learning how to advocate for himself, his career, and the people around him. We revisit moments from nearly every era of Bowling for Soup — the songs, the stories, the memories, and the evolution of a band that somehow managed to soundtrack generations while never losing its sense of humor or heart. We also talk songwriting, longevity in music, staying grounded, being genuinely happy for other people’s success, and the well-lived-in joy of everyday life. This episode is funny, nostalgic, emotional, inspiring, and a reminder of why Bowling for Soup has remained such a special part of pop punk culture for so many fans. If you’ve ever grown up with Bowling for Soup, needed a laugh during a hard time, or wondered what keeps a band going after decades in the industry — this one’s for you. @ScandalousOfficial ScandalousOfficial.com

   Nick Poulos (MUNICIPAL WASTE) (BAT) | Scandalous Podcast

   Fast riffs, real talk, and plenty of love for thrash —this one rips. On this episode of the Scandalous Podcast, I sit down with Nick Poulos—guitarist for thrash legends Municipal Waste and BAT—to talk about the journey from a music-filled childhood to shredding on some of the world’s loudest stages. Nick opens up about growing up with a musician father, how that early exposure to music shaped his life, and what it meant to have his dad witness Municipal Waste in action—one of his proudest full-circle moments. We dig into his deep love for thrash, the classic records that defined his playing, and the music that still makes him feel most like himself. He also shares what brotherhood means within his bands, the chemistry that fuels their sound, and what’s next on the horizon for both Municipal Waste and BAT.

Brandan Schieppati of Bleeding Through

Published 13 Jul 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And we got this influence of that band showing us the ropes, of showing us how hard work and being self-sufficient would make you have a prolonged career. And that was the most influential tour that we've ever done. In the States, our biggest break was the first year we were on AusFest in 2004. And being part of such a great lineup, being part of that, I feel like that was such an influential time for... Heavy music was 04, Ozfest and having bands like us and Under Earth and Atreyu on it was something that was like, you know, having the show, the battle for Ozfest on MTV. Like that was such an amazing time to be part of that. […]
