Hey everyone! Missed an episode this week since I was celebrating my wedding anniversary in Las Vegas at When We Were Young. So to make up for it I wanted to share with you something a little fun. Almost three years ago now I did two episode of a podcast called Into The Void with Peter Krees where I played a George Noory type radio personality and had my friends come on and describe to me the plot of sci-fi movies and play them off as real experiences. On this episode my buddy Jamie Hurley plays the part of Morgan Hess, the son from the movie SIGNS and recounts the experience 20 years later. It’s kinda dumb but I thought it was the funniest shit ever at the time. So let me know what you think and enjoy!
