Cat & Todd participate in the first ever Punk Chores remote interview by having to enter & exit Zoom meetings every 20 minutes because neither have a paid subscription. Reminiscing about the good old days meeting in Chicago, matching butt cheek tattoos, catching up in Oklahoma City, a long history of tour & friendship in the Midwest, cooking the best omelettes at the waterpark restaurant, not getting hired as a sign holder, frying chicken, thrift store truck driving, pooping your pants in Restaurant Depot, and finding true love, support and a new outlook on life in recovery from alcohol.
