Ep 62: The Public Bathroom w/ Maarten Bayless

Musician and comedian Maarten Bayliss come say to talk about growing up in Nanaimo, BC. His disdain for the Nanaimo Bar. He also talks about being a teenage goth and just “driving around” a lot. He build a very useful thing for our town: a 3 story public washroom in the center of town called “The Bathroom State Building”. We meet a teen named Gecko and his friends as they drive around town and then go to Triage Coffee - a place that has undercover EMTs working as baristas. We have rolled out all of the tiers for our new PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/TheTownShowThe Town Show is sponsored by No Smoke Coffee - "No Smoke.
