This week's episode got a little intense as I talked about Roman Reigns' leukemia diagnosis right at the top and ended up telling some personal stories and getting kinda dark in places. Then I talk about music, because, sure... Talked about the new releases from Jason Isbell, The Bottle Rockets, and Trampled by Turtles, then talked about Neil Young's "Harvest," which is one of my all-time favorite records. After a series of malfunctions, I don't have a time-index this week, but the music stuff is about a half-hour in. Check out http://emptychecking.blogspot.com for photos and more!
