I took down a few of the first episodes due to audio issues. I am going through them and fixing some of the levels. The interviews are still there. These were the first attempts at podcasting and have some warts, but I think they are still good listens. If you haven't already listened to this episode, check it out. Fred Coury was a fun interview. Bill Allen was great too. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/talktoomey?fan_landing=true)

Revisiting and remastering my talk with Chris Kael of Five Finger Death Punch. The levels on the original episode were all over the place and would blow out your ears if you weren't careful. The interview with Chris took place in Sept of 2015. Lots of great stories. Also this episode features Aljon Go of WDW Tiki Room and Prowrestlingcast.
