I invited three of my oldest friends to be my guests on this month's Thirsty Thursday LIVE!!! One of my very first friends, Chris Flint, who I met in kindergarten and was in my first band Nixtasm. Vince Berardinucci, who I met in high school and I went to my first concerts with, drank my first beers with & discovered metal with.

No topic was off the table & we had a sick time indeed!! Throughout this hang, I enjoyed Ras L'Bock x Boire Grand - WJW Saucissier Ahuntsic's "Sainte-Justine".
