Tales From A Dive Bar Podcast

Deep within the heart of the city lies a place of solace and refuge... Welcome to your local DIVE BAR Man, let me tell you about this dive bar.

It's a place where the spirits flow as freely as the neon lights that illuminate the entrance. A place where the bartenders are as rough and tumble as the patrons that slink in and out of the door. You walk in and the first thing that hits you is the smell - a mixture of beer, whiskey, and cigarette smoke that has soaked into the very fabric of the place. The floors are sticky and the bar stools a

re wobbly, but there's something about this place that makes you feel right at home. The jukebox blares classic rock and roll, and the patrons sway and sing along, lost in the music. The bartenders sling drinks with practiced ease, their eyes always scanning the room for their next customer. They know what you want before you even sit down, and they've got a quick quip for every situation. This dive bar is a place where anything can happen, and usually does. You might run into a long-lost friend or make a new enemy, but either way, you're bound to have a good time. The drinks are strong, the conversation is lively, and the atmosphere is electric. It's a place where you can be yourself, or someone else entirely. It's a place to escape the grind of daily life and let loose for a little while. It's a place where the stories flow as freely as the drinks, and where the memories are as hazy as the smoke that fills the room. In short, this dive bar is the kind of place that Hunter S. Thompson would have felt right at home in. So come on in, grab a drink, and let the good times roll.

John Martin talks about his time as a banker and a Marine. He also explains how courage and fear have motivated him during his full time travels across the U.S. in a converted van named “Serendipity.”
We also ask how do we get followers and talk about the many ways the internet has changed and how cartoons have helped shape, and occasionally distort society.
Raven’s book corner gets heavy with nostalgia talks, The Romance of Reality, Nietzsche, The collapse of Society, and thoughts on psychologist and YouTube host Jordan B Peterson.
Allen gets tanked and shares the time he ate something called mushroom honey and we conclude with 60 seconds of Questions for John Martin Marvin…Dave Martin… whatever his stage name is at this point.
