#100: Centennial

Hosts: Johnny Starr and Ron the Banker

This benchmark episode of the Fireworks Brigade was recorded at Casa Starr in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Thanksgiving has just ended and John & Ron escape the cold for white sand and lands end. Considering all of the challenges faced in 2020, it’s a miracle we made it to this memorable episode. We had planned something special for 100, but like many other plans in 2020, we had to pivot and accept something much smaller. Nevertheless, we are proud to present our 100th episode and look forward to recording more.
