I did it, I snagged one of the wildest interviews yet. Daniel Makabe and I started talking not about his storied career, but strange punk music and THAT is why he’s cut from a different cloth. Of course, we did end up broaching the subject of wrestling and this is the end result of those Instagram DMs. Daniel was a wealth of knowledge and one of the nicest dudes I’ve ever talked to. I’d like to believe this is only second to the over 4 hour epic that the Q&Tr pod did in 2019 in terms of depth in Makabe’s career.
