During Rank You Very Much we hit on the WORST places to break out in sweat, plus the most Canadian thing you can do when you find a live grenade and Semisonic's drummer Jake Slichter on what the label said when they first heard "Closing Time," dropping piano and cello to take up drums and the funniest way for student's who take his creative writing class at Sara Lawrence College to find out he's in a band.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
