Joe Sib runs a record label, does stand-up comedy, plays music, raises children and in his spare time breathes. He's the co-founder of Side One Dummy Records and via the skate parks in California discovered a world of music, creation and scene cultivation. Ron and Joe talk about skateboarding, meeting Ian MacKaye and Henry Rollins, the early days of Epitaph and Side One Dummy, Bad Religion, and then move on to the present: Joe's comedy career and fatherhood. Dudes geeking out about music, what what!

Ron Placone was fully aware that Mack Dryden had first hand experience with Hunter S Thompson. So, he ended their interview by asking Mack to share some of those stories.

These are just a few first hand accounts that confirm what we kinda already knew, yup, he was that weird. Yup, he lived it.
