Bonus Episode: Hot Rod Day w/ Muddy Grimes

Welcome to another DayStrider Bonus Episode. Podcaster Muddy Grimes and I get in depth about Hot Rod Day, and he shares some fun stories about how he was tinkering with cars from a very young age! He also shares the story of how he got that unique nickname (his real name is Brett Miller). You are sure to be entertained - so grab an adult beverage of your choice and find a comfy seat in the back yard or deck and enjoy!
Cheers!

This DayStrider Bonus Episode features the full-length interview that was highlighted on June 11th: Escape from Alcatraz. In that episode you will hear some ingenious ideas some prisoners came up with as they planned their escape from an escape-proof prison!
