Episode 101: Chad Smith - A.K.A. - ”The Rival”

Chad Smith loves SKC. We don't. So it made for an interesting conversation... to say the least. A decent amount of respect was shown, while establishing a RIVALRY is necessary. While we objectively won the history/culture/trademark battle, Chad casually pointed out they won the playoff one. This isn't over...
