Show Summary
At the top of the show, Adam tells Bryan and Gina about the legacy of boxer Hector ‘Macho’ Camacho. It leads to a story about boxing legends Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran. The guys then take listener calls about cold water plunges, Adam’s stance on COVID, and the odyssey of restaurants trying to comply with dining regulations. Later, Adam chats with other callers about the right type of oil for your car, and the gang discusses the potential for new events for the Olympics. Before the break, the guys listen to a new Rich Banks song, and everyone plays a round of Hollywood Hand Me Downs.
Director Eric Drath joins the podcast at the top of Part 2. Adam compliments him on his new doc about Hector ‘Macho’ Camacho, and then wonders how Eric first became involved with the project. Eric also talks about parts of the story he was unable to put into the final film, as well as his upcoming documentary projects. Before hanging up, Adam and Eric discuss more legendary boxing matchups, and Bald Bryan asks Eric about Camacho’s sexuality. In the last part of the show, the guys talk more about #vanlife, and react to news stories about Chuck Yeager, Goya Foods’ employee of the month, Tina and Ike Turner, ‘offensive’ Christmas light displays, and restaurant shutdown hypocrisy.
