Episode 130 - Brad and Brett Wheelan (my older brothers) Apr 19, 2020

Show notes

Brad and Brett Wheelan (used to be dicks however now very cool older brothers) get interviewed by Brooks. Was this a good idea? I'm still not sure. Brad talks about how he gained so much weight it made our mom cry in a JC Penny. Brett talks about living in a trailer and working maintenance at the Manchester hospital. And we all give our perspective on what went wrong at the ill-fated Pearl Jam 20th anniversary concert we went to together 10 years ago. Also Brett calls out Brad to fight. Like for real. He does this.
