THE Friday Freak Show! Chris, Macon and Nate all in studio to get our podcast freak on. We start with a Dead or Alive Celebrity segment that produces many entertaining side conversations. We then dive into some nicknames that sports franchises had on their final nickname list but ended up not using - a few of these teams probably wish they could've gone back to make a different selection. Price is Right shows up on the show today, a very fast and loose Price is Right. Ending with a mailbag that is entertaining as we relive Chris' first interaction with alcohol as a youth. Plenty of fun, enjoy the conversation, appreciate the love.
