Intro
How we know each other
The name DJ Trey-Qel-Drama comes from Star Wars!
Liner notes!

“Rejected” by Man of War with the Hyborian Warriors.
Time for shipwrecks! Divorce. Self-righteousness?
“We were married and we took those vows and everything. But looking back on it, it was as though we were high school kids dating for a long time who broke up.”
“It’s a shipwreck, ‘cause it really IS a shipwreck. I became a man out of that, that really woke me up. I was thoroughly humbled.”
Going through a divorce at the same time as Ajax.
