Talkin’ Schmit

The host sits down for episode 50 on his 50th birthday in the hot seat on the other side of the mic and gets grilled by his fiance and executive director of the program. Loads of texts and phone calls from the likes of Elissa Steamer, Jason Jessee, Toad, the fro’s, Oskar and Felix and a lot more. Prepare to listen to this one on a long drive or in segments, it’s got a total run time of 2:31 but we hope you enjoy it.

Token drummer of the decade on epiclyTRIFE, Shane Medanich and I go way back. Matter of fact some of the first photos I have of him are from 2005. Listen in as we catch up on old times with smiles on our faces, mentioning deviled eggs, growing up in downstate New York, his new band Slashers, his love for SF and NYC, and lots of other Hightower things then “I Am the Wallride.” All that and much more. Big love Shane, thank you and great seeing you bro!
