After that, Damien mentions his trip to Washington D.C., to see his friend, Jorge Munrose for his birthday on May 5th (spelling?), and a wedding for his basque brother Mike Rivera, and Andrea Jones, who have been together since 2000.

Cosmo starts to reminisce about his own sweet wife, and the changes in his small hometown for the last 25+ years.

Damien plugs (for free, I assure you), Bombshell Poker, and their upcoming event in Seattle in September.

We talk briefly about our podcast location, the Eastside Club, and their exemplary selection of beer.

And then, the topic of talk turns to Cosmo, his wife Dingo, and Damien’s upcoming April trip to Guthrie Oklahoma, use the Internet to find out what they’re doing there, click below.
