Thomas Araujo, AKA "Dope As Yola" slides into The Wayback as we take a cruise through the late 90s/early 00s of Merced, CA. (Check out his podcast "Dope As Usual").  Thomas gets nostalgic about the freedom of growing up a San Joaquin Valley country boy, where he would drive his parent's pick up truck to the candy store as a 10-year old.  We also take a look at some of Thomas' old haunts, like his childhood home in Merced, the local carniceria, and the birthplace of his Dope As Yola empire.  We then reminisce about first concerts (the Spice Girls!), first R-rated movies, and a once mighty staple of the 90s, now lost to the dustbin of history -- the video store!

Get tickets to see me in San Diego October, 3rd!
