Episode 48 of Good Times Noodle Salad brings in special guest Mind Riot for a wide-ranging, chaotic, and hilarious conversation.We get into Paige’s book club taking a hard left turn into full-on smut territory, sparking a debate on what people are actually reading behind closed doors. Mind Riot dives into the evolution from playing in a cover band to writing and recording original music, breaking down the risks, growing pains, and creative payoff that comes with finding your own sound. The conversation also hits the realities of playing shows around Metro Detroit—from grindy gigs to standout moments—and what it takes to build momentum locally.On top of that, we explore what it’s like growing up in a family-run brewery, how that environment shapes work ethic (and drinking tolerance), and the unexpected lessons that carry over into music and life.It’s a fun mix of music talk, local scene insight, and unfiltered nonsense.Support the show
