On episode one hundred and sixty three of the Holy Ghost Notes podcast, Matt and Tim are joined by old pal and familiar guest, Adam Gray. Adam bears all; sharing everything from the story behind his stick tricks, his thoughts on the new unreleased August Burns Red album, prepping for filling in for Matt on tour, overcoming expectations of “living up to his own name”, dealing with grief, as well as writing a book in memory of his late wife, Tegan. We sincerely hope this brings you joy, peace, and a whole lotta laughs. Merry Christmas from Holy Ghost Notes.

On episode one hundred and sixty two of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim meet again. Matt talks about prepping for Christmas Burns Red and the busyness surrounding the season and Tim remembers he never gave Matt his birthday card. The guys quickly jump into their topic, "Making Music in 2025" and discuss the major advancements they've seen in music tech over the past year, and how to approach this new wave of capabilities. Opportunity or cheating?

On episode one hundred and sixty one of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim casually discuss their love of cheese and Tim's "cultured" way about him. The guys shift gears and walk through their list of "Dos and Don'ts" as drummers - to both summarize and simplify many of the key points they've discussed in-depth over the past 160 episodes. Then, inspired by Tony Robbins, Tim does an exercise with Matt to tee up the topic of Perception vs. Reality, which takes a rather deep turn.
