2 of the all time greats

I love this pod. It’s a great look behind the curtain of something that has meant so much to me in my life. So proud of your come back Snake. I love redemption stories. DDP one of the greatest to ever enter the ring. It makes sense that Jake was your mentor. Looking forward to great things.

BinOBA ,

Thanks Jake

Listening to the stories of Jake being a roommate of hawk of LoD and dating missy Hyatt to teaching warrior the darkside and fued with macho man. The stories behind what we grew up with as kids is just awesome.
