How's it going ladies and gents! In the spirit of Valentine's Day I wanted to show some local love to metal giants On My Six out of Rockford, IL who recently announced that the Summer of 2020 will be their last. I share some fond personal memories of the last 8 years as well as play 6 tracks off of On My Six's album "The Waiting Game". I had the time of my life putting this episode together and I wouldn't change it for the world. Thank you for everything.
