Taco briefly talks about his hatred of puppies (AKA how he's not really a pet guy, but a nature guy)

In lieu of a "standard" episode, we present a Side Quest (which really has standard episode vibes). After a wacky intro, we talk a whole lot about independent music and wrestling shows, including having someone famous as just an old friend, merch, "dangerous" shows, and getting excited for future shows.

If you take anything away from this recording: go see local shows of any size. Support the small acts getting a foothold. They appreciate it, and you'll have a good time.

We hope you enjoy the episode!
