Mike Wilson of Harley Poe talks with Pepe about a wide range of topics like the Grateful Dead, joining Harley Poe & pissing for authority figures. There's plenty of talk about not wanting to work for someone else & the DIY spirit that makes this possible. Expect to hear about the hurdles & challenges (often mental) that Mike & Pepe both faced on their journeys of trying not to have a boss. At the end of the show we play the previously unreleased track "The Night My Cat Went To The Moon" by Mike Wilson. Enjoy!
