No real good way to describe this abomination, so just sit back and get a laugh. We are seven friends that go way, way back, and we figured it would be fun to put us all together in a room and see what happened.

For our 50th Episode we were fortunate enough to have on Tyler Godsey, Director of 5 Points Music Sanctuary, and it couldn't have worked out better for this special occasion. It's difficult to put into words how powerful this show was, because Tyler articulated it in a way that is hard to express through text.
