***Nick's Notes ~ Man, what a time recording with the Superstar! Last year around this time, I never thought I'd be doing a podcast with Mr.Morris. A Minnesota legend and Viking's fan favorite, Mike was a blast to talk with. I am grateful this podcast allowed for me to connect and develop a relationship with someone who lives their life the way the Superstar does!
