DSP: From The Vault (originally EP.30)

This episode of the Downward Spiral was recorded in 2012 When Niko Tavernise and I were regularly going to either his porch or my shop with a bottle of booze and recording an episode. This particular episode we were joined by my great friend Tony Aiazzi who is now my business partner at Feder Knives. We had just had dinner and got the microphone. It was a lot of fun talking restaurant biz and our stories from back in the day. This was before I ever made a knife and I think I had just left CMA and was working in a fabrication shop close by. We also hit a bottle of Jameson’s pretty good and by the end you can hear it. Haha Niko and Tony are some of my closest friends and it was fun getting together back then. So I’m scouring the vault for eps to put out and every so often I’ll see what happens. Please forgive any ignorance and general horseshit, I’ve grown. Enjoy the show.
