Episode description
In this episode, I reconnect with my friend, Daijon, for a very animated conversation. Daijon and I first met in 2017 when I interviewed him for a boxing documentary shortly after the shooting at the Mandalay Bay where he worked at the time.
We talk about violence in America, Johnny Tocco's Boxing Gym, Daijon's struggles with his hair and being considered either "too light" or "too dark", and his obsession with comic books. And we have a whole lotta laughs in the process.
We hope you enjoy our conversation.
