The Wayback #83 | Jim Florentine

Jim Florentine returns for another ride in The Wayback! (Check out his podcast "Everybody Is Awful" and his stand up special “You Can't Please 'Em All” on Amazon Prime). In this episode, we cruise by both our childhood homes and share stories about the difficulty of engaging in self-love when you share a room with siblings. Sticking with that theme, we also get nostalgic about Farrah Fawcett posters, and Jim remembers the time he got put on injured reserve just from jerkin' it. We also reminisce about crappy first cars, party balls, legendary 80s metal concerts, and as an encore from Jim's last appearance, some more old school wrestling stories.
