Episode 10 - Old Hickory

Gladiators...MOUNT UP!  The Old Hickory may be named after a racist genocidal maniac, but our Episode 10 guest is quite the opposite.  That's right! We finally convinced someone to agree to podcast with us.  Marcos and Jim welcome acclaimed Balti-Delphian writer Drew Lazor into the studio for an unforgettable seshtail journey that includes a brief American Gladiators digression, a primer on cognac, and an unforgettable Fast Casual lightning round.
