Along the way we meet some wonderful people who do fascinating things. This episode we feature 3 different professional sports team DJs. Many of you already know our friend DJ Severe who spins for the Dodgers. We also have the LA Clippers' DJ Dense. Finally, the New Orleans Saints DJ Roj Smoove.

BIDS started as the Mid Week Mash on OzCat Radio back in the early 20-tweens. Jon invited Pete on the show as a guest, and he never left. Back then, Jon, Pete, Niko-Jon's son and the guy that welcomes you to each episode of the BIDS would chat for 3 hours. The magic they created in those sessions is what pushed them to think bigger and create the show you all know and love today. This episode happened because of a guest conflict...and we're all grateful that it did. Here's Jon and Pete at their best.
