#43 - X-Mess Special 2020 Dec 23, 2020

Show notes

First off - this is a sloppy, horrible episode! We recorded this during a crescendo of drunken idiocy at the Choppahead holiday party. But we had a blast and you'll be sure to have some laughs -- and also shake your head in judgement at us. In full disclosure, it's probably really stupid to release this episode... Truth is joined by past guests including: Lenny Lashley, Ken Dogg, Ryan Rioux, Ryan Packer, Joehawk, and also more guest appearances by CJ and Keith Crovello. This episode is full hammertime – there's a lot of drunken nonsense, repeating ourselves, and idiocy. We ramble on about CJ's lack of gall bladder and bellybutton, music, Christmas stuff, bad ideas, explosives, etc. If you're looking for a semi-serious interview episode – this is not the one for you. You've been warned!!! But it is a fitting shit-show of an episode to end this shit-show of a year!!! As always, please hit the subscribe button if you like and support what we do!
