  • Criminal turned fan…

    I used to hate these guys after getting arrested by them about 6 times in my 20s for various nonviolent, drunken nights of foolishness… I turned my life around, got sober and now work out with a lot of these cops and call them

    Friends. Love the podcast idea and hope they keep it up!
