Pajama Monsters

We were able to keep these handmade cuties from destroying the podcast studio, but I think one of them did poop under Jonathan’s chair. Enjoy the show!

Despite not having our guest, Jay from Dos Gatos we still managed to fit in some Dos Gatos and downtown bar talk. Not to mention stories about Rosie Perez, Wesley Snipes and Vampires.
