The MitchCast 188

July 19, 2012

WARNING: Use caution when listening to this episode of the MitchCast. We start it off with some of most powerful 80's rock known to mankind: The Final Countdown! That pretty much sets the tone of the show, which is to say, AWESOME!

If this episode doesn't make you want to work out, rebuild a car, shadowbox, take first place, or just plain sweat all crazy like, then I don't know what will.

Potent. Powerful. And informative. We tackle another etiquette issue in this episode: Dining out with friends. We take you through first course to last call (not really) and how to handle yourself and the bill. It's just good advice, from two guys who are known for bad advice.

There is some movie talk in there, but you already knew that. Okay, until next week, post "The Dark Knight Rises", adios!

Show Notes:
