Episode #18 Tad's Holy Trinity

This is another atypical episode - we are forgoing our regular segments and welcoming new guests to the show as we celebrate a milestone birthday for another one of my dear friends, Tad Schmitz….  You may recall, Tad AKA Schmitty was on episode 17, where we roasted Mark Howard. 

We’ve been friends for nearly 30 years and while life has gotten busier and we don’t talk or see each other nearly as often as we’d like, one thing remains the same… when we are together, it’s like nothing has ever changed. We pick up where we left off… often times we still act like we are in our 20’s, and we are always laughing…at ourselves, our circumstances, and most of all our crazy memories.   

I’m not quite sure… but I think this was taken before a Gear Daddies Concert! We connected over music nearly 30 years ago.
