Wednesday Jun 01, 2016
Wednesday Jun 01, 2016
Life is a funny thing. Weeks ago, we were laughing about various horrible sports anthems sung by numerous teams. Somewhere along the line we reached out to the former captain of the 1989 Calgary Flames, Jim Peplinski, about his teams' anthem, "Red Hot". Oddly enough, Jim was one of the only players not featured in the video. Jim gave us an awesome interview where we discussed his career, the Stanley Cup, staying healthy, fighting, and all things hockey.
Check out Jim on Twitter @jimpeplinski24
Later,LGBT director, AJ Mattioli, once again joins us to discuss his transition and the current drama over bathroom privileges in the US. Later, Michael Burlew lets us in on how he broke his girlfriend's door, took her to listen to bullfrogs, and out for a stroll to see horses....I know.

These podcasts are all like my children. And just like most parents, you tend to love some children better than others. For instance, I happen to love this episode a whole lot more than episodes featuring only Michael Burlew. First, Richard Nunn of WULFNATION joins us for a few to discuss his new brand. Then. LGBT director, AJ Matiioli, gives us a fascinating interview about his transgendered life, an accomplished director, and a native New Yorker. AJ could not have been more candid and entertaining. Check out his new film "Lady Peacock." We finish up with a good old game of Dirtbag of the Week.Check out AJ and his work atwww.mattioliproductions.com or on twitter @ladypeacockfilmKeep following us on iTunes and Stitcher.
