Blake is joined once again by Nick Diener—founder of Oneder Effects and guitarist/vocalist for The Swellers—for a wide-ranging chat that hits everything from vintage SGs and Freebird lore to dad life, Discord burnout, and the existential dread of messy workspaces. Nick shares stories of playing Gary Rossington's actual guitars, visiting Ocean Way Studios in Nashville, building pedals in cluttered chaos, and trying to stay creative in a post-pandemic industry hit hard by tariffs and uncertainty. They also dive into martial arts, musician mental health, content fatigue, the pros and cons of podcast video, and why dog-related GoFundMes might just bankrupt us all. Whether you're here for the gear, the laughs, or some philosophical dad-core, this episode's got a little something for everybody—especially disorganized pedal nerds with too many unfinished projects.

Nick Diener is mostly remembered as the frontman of the Michigan-based pop punk band The Swellers. Nowadays, he runs a company called Oneder Effects that builds specialized and custom guitar pedals for musicians everywhere. Over 9 years of being on the road and hundreds of shows later, Nick is still fully captivated within the music scene, immersing himself into his newest business venture. We talk about the longevity of the band, producing records for Hot Mulligan and raising his family in Michigan. We also touch upon his 20 years of maintaining a vegan diet, how a friend of his would microwave his fecal matter and how he adjusted to life again after sleeping on floors for a decade. If you're interested in checking out his effects pedals, look no further then @onedereffects and onedereffects.com ! Go rip The Swellers. Be sure to rate the show with a 5-star rating to keep it from slipping into the ass crack of oblivion. #KellensPettyTalkShow

THIS EPISODE BROUGHT TO YOU EXCLUSIVELY BY THE NATIVE SOUNDThe vocalist from The Swellers, Nick Diener, is my guest on the show this week and I couldn't be more happy to bring you this raw and honest conversation. We speak about what it's like to break a band up, the transitions that he is going through in his own life and jealousy between bands (which is something very few bands/people discuss publicly). Nick was extremely gracious in sharing his thoughts and we deliberately let all of the coverage of The Swellers break-up subside before this episode was released. Please donate to the show!
