John Koos and Scott Martinez grew up six houses down from each other in idyllic Orange County, California. Born in 1969 and 1970, respectively, they came of age in the mythical 1980s. This podcast is a banter about growing up in those times. It may resonate with some of you.

We set out to do this for us. https://www.facebook.com/groups/358 ...
