#426 - Geoff Weers (Guitar and Vocals, "The Expendables")

Geoff plays Guitar and Vocals in "The Expendables" which came from a laid-back lifestyle growing up in Santa Cruz, CA; surfing, skating, partying, and playing music were commonplace. Since 1997, The Expendables have staked their claim in the California surf/rock genre by headlining venues from coast to coast. Blending Reggae, Punk Rock, and 80's style dueling guitar solos, The Expendables have made heads turn and floors shake for years. One of my favorite bands playing music that hits deep for a lot of people and truly passionate about the things they create.

Marc's is what I’d call a fan of horror from the anticipation of a good scare to how a production can impact someone so much to cause them literally to get goosebumps. One half of the horror movie review podcast "A Podcast on Elm Street" with his good friend and co host Brooke. Marc's been a horror fan since he first watched ANOES and Pet Sematary as a kid. Being amazed at the rush he got from watching something he knew he wasn’t supposed to and learning quickly how fun horror movies are to watch because fear is terrifying but also exhilarating.

#421 - Steve Cantwell (Stand-Up Comedian)

Steve is a stand-up comedian, The best way to explain him is imaging going from a Mormon priest to becoming a stand-up comedian all in one day. First coming across him on "The Crab Feast" by Ryan Sickler i heard one of the craziest stories and lives that gave him the nickname (Cant-End-Well) explaining the crazy experience of taking salvia and living an alternative life makes this thing we call even more like a simulation. Life has a way of seeming to put together like a game or so ridiculous that you question everything.

#420 - Megan Lewellyn (MMJ Patient and Advocate)

Megan is a MMJ patient and since this is the #420 episode wanted a twist on the importance of this drug known as Cannabis and how its properties are beneficial for people like Megan who suffer from what is classified as MS an invisible illness. When Megan was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2007, she turned to her doctors and modern medicine to help her manage her condition, but after years of failing to find the right thing for her body and her disease, she found she was a shell of the person she once was and that the quality of her life had diminished drastically. The drugs she was taking for her MS were doing more harm than good, her chronic pain was off the charts and the mom of three that used to run 6-8 miles daily could barely make it around the block to walk the family dog. Shifting to a natural based protocol has truly been life altering for Megan and she is extremely motivated to share what she has learned with others. She and her husband purchased a 5 acre piece of property in Washington state and are working to open Camp Sunshine, which will provide educational classes and instruction on growing and using cannabis and hemp, along with hosting cannabis friendly events and festivals. This drug has such a powerful and beneficial impact on the people who need it so lets make the world pro cannabis and less prescribed.
