Complete Control - Polar Bear Club, Andrew Santino of Punk'd&an acoustic song by Transit

EPISODE SYNOPSIS:
Joe outdoes himself yet again this week with a record number of guests on set and moustaches in the audience for episode 8 of Complete Control. In the span of about 45 minutes we get in depth interviews with Jimmy Stadt, vocalist for Polar Bear Club, and the hilarious stand up comedian and writer Andrew Santino. The two swap stories from the road, what it's like working with Justin Beiber on Punk'd, and how racist everyone is on youtube. Joe finishes the show by inviting Transit, a young, rising indie/pop-punk band, in for a live acoustic performance. Enjoy!
