Besides being one of the most creative people I have ever met Joe is also an inspiration of healing and self improvement, an avid meditator, hilarious, and a regular devil in the best way. In this episode we talk about plans for the year, predictions, dry January, the band’s Patreon, Lexus commercials, forgiving yourself, and our newfound loves of videography and photography. If you’d like to reach Joe you’ll have to contact me first Tom@Futurefriday.net and we will deem if you are worthy of such an honor. ********EPISODE NOTE I talked some shit on alcohol sales and our shows and it turns out I am most likely wrong, and probably just projecting my own insecure vulnerability out into the world in, manifested as cynical shit talking. But without that would we have punk rock? Olive Juice.
