Ep.52 - Johny Fisher & Aaron Martin (Okey Dokey) “Hoarding Husbands”

This week Rose, Terence, and Tony get somehow both silly and deep with Aaron Martin and Johnny Fisher of Okey Dokey about trying to impress girls with the wrong genre of music, smoking weed with your parents… or someone else’s parents, and good naturedly trolling famous people at South by Southwest.
