In this episode, Wendy tells the stories that live just behind the music—from a tiny cowboy singing on a chair, to pianos played at all hours, to a wedding arrangement written at the very last minute (of course). “I’m With the Band” is a fond, funny look at life alongside Randy’s musical journey: early talent, unlikely recording sessions, road… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/zx4s74k4xbmebxyw/OCD_04_ImWithTheBand_FINAL.mp3) ## [Bowel Eating Hernia](https://www.oncarlsondrive.com/e/bowel-eating-hernia/) _2026-03-03 · On Carlson Drive_ Once upon a time, old people complained too much.

From cornets instead of trumpets to family mentors, competitions, and the joy of making music together, this episode explores how tradition, humility, and love for the craft matter far more than being the best.… [Listen](https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/mkn5scqqybfxgf8z/OCD_04_ItsABritishThing_FINAL.mp3) ## [Have Fun Stormin' the Castle](https://www.oncarlsondrive.com/e/have-fun-stormin-the-castle/) _2026-01-06 · On Carlson Drive_ From popcorn-and-movie nights to summer movie marathons and Oscar parties, this episode reflects on how films shaped family life, conversation, and connection in a house full of girls.
