On this episode, we sit down yet again with Richard Medina, this time in his cozy garage. We chatt & riff over a cigar, a whisky & anything that comes across our minds.

In honor of his partner, Officer Roberto Sanchez, we included the YouTube video made in remembrance.

Special thanks to:
•Johnny Castro Art, for allowing us to use his amazing drawings.
• Equipe Athletics, for their continued support in creating our shirts.

• Claudia Moreno, for her unending dedication with time-stamping our podcasts.
