*Advance Mea Culpa/Standing Offer*

We admit the obvious: Jeff, Damon & Scott are aging weirdos reminiscing spontaneously around a microphone. As such, they’re liable to misremember and misspeak - among other mis-takes

If you were there and know something they don’t, remember something differently or think they’re being disingenuous (or worse) SEND US A MESSAGE either on Messenger or at [email protected]. Fact-check the heck out of us, please! (Bruce is already giving Jeff the what-for on some details). The guys might even invite you on as a guest to set the record straight - or muddy things up even more!
