DMTAM 54: Fisher

Fisher is a guy that I've wanted to have on the podcast since I started it. We've known each other since childhood, we've worked together in the past and this guy has great stories. We invade Aqua Sol (pardon the background noise) for a fun chat about childhood, drinking, high school parties, THAT Mexico story and our run ins with Johnny Law. This conversation did get cut short because the host is an idiot. Still nice to relive some memories with a guy I've known 15+ years. Thanks to Pink Floyd ...

DMTAM 25: Odds and ends

Sifting through the archives, I found some yet to be heard conversations with friends at bonfires. These are not full conversations, just funny non-sequiturs that made us laugh and hopefully will make you laugh. Just 10 friends with guitars, a roaring fire and maybe a drink. Just one, that we all shared. These are all clips from different times during two different bonfires. The highlight being "Alyssa Finishes Your Sentence." Thank you to Berto, Melaynee, Lyss, Coy, Beej, Jon, J$, Jess, and Jor...
