Episode 29: Bill Mauch

Long-time good friend Bill Mauch graced my presence for this week's episode, and we had a grand, ol' time talking Metallica, roasting Russell Wilson, and exploring everything from Iowa to family to high-school biology class.

Bill shares his living space with one of the most amazing crews in town, and I can't thank him enough for making the time to come hang on a busy Saturday.

We go back to the late '80s, are in touch via text regularly, and yet somehow I never knew that he had an affinity for country music that's maybe even bigger than his love of the metal kings's self-titled/black album.

And what a badass record it is.

Unrelated, this has been a tough week of mental-health sledding and, as a result I found myself down a TikTok rabbit hole that led me to the Hulu program, Normal People. I'm almost 24 hours removed from binging the lone season, and -- while I'm still unsure if it helped or hurt -- I can't recommend it enough. I know. It's two years old. I don't watch much television. Seriously, though. Amazing show.

Anyhoo, Episode #29 of this podcast was good fun, and I hope you're already giving it a whirl as you read this.

Cheers, everyone.
