  • Boring

    This is boring. All they do is name drop and tell the same stories over and over.

  • Two great tastes that go great together

    Found out about this podcast from going to the RocknPod expo. Thankful because now I have another entertaining podcast to listen to. These two are down to earth, funny and tell extremely interesting, hilarious and informative stories. Great conversation a! The only problem I have is I am STILL wondering if Rudy Sarzo’s wife ever got her south western theme bed set.
