The podcast is finally up. This past week, Mike Hopes' friend passed away and he didn't have the ambition to finish it in time. We apologize and hope you understand in the delay. This episode has no segments or gimmicks, just two dudes trying to come to terms with how they feel and why in this troublesome time in human history. Thanks for those that contacted us with first hand testaments of the local protest. Mike Hopes closes the show with his thoughts on his friend Danny Havoc and a short previously recorded interview with the man. R.I.P. See you next Tuesday.
