Episode 53: An Eastern View of Western States

Disclaimer: Art wrote the title for the podcast this week, I have nothing to do with it. Wanted to name it "Lottery Season: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Statesmas" or "A Decade (Almost!) Under the Influence" but here we are. My view of Western States is very much a western view, allegedly. Let's get into TACOS! That's right, it was the 2nd Annual Taco Trials, a stupid thing to do but probably the highest finish I had all year. We talk other podcasts, chickens, White House petitions, athletic supporters, all that jazz. A few brave souls threw down on the karaoke machine, it was dope. Hashtag: special episode. Hashtag: baby come back. Oh and Western States. Lot of Western States lore, someone got in the lottery. HOLY SHIT. Then we talk crap on some website's gift guide (from 2018) and some other random shit, it's worth it y'all.
