Don't Make This About Me

Everyone has a story to tell. I am here to ensure those stories don't get lost or forgotten about. This show is a personal journal and an entryway into the minds of my guests. Each show is different and features music, interviews, skits and comedic banter.

DMTAM 83: Run Run Rudolph 12/30/2016

DMTAM 83: Run Run Rudolph This episode was one year in the making... so what's one more week? Sanchez and Mary Jane Watson reunite to tell the story of Keith Griffin. We go back in time to December 22, 2015 and relive the nightmare. The opinions expressed in this episode are exactly that. MJW and Sanchez go as in depth as possible on the timeline of events that led to the arrest of someone that injured and killed a child... and then tried to run.

Austin 3:16 20th Anniversary Tribute 06/23/2016

Austin 3:16 20th Anniversary Tribute June 23, 1996 changed the wrestling business forever. Austin 3:16 became a thing 20 years ago today. As a Stone Cold Steve Austin fan, I wanted to make a goofy tribute to the promo that I will perform as a monologue when I finally join the Actor's Studio. Or at the very least at the random stage at the Christiana Mall. Anywho, this is past and former guests reciting the Austin 3:16 in my car. Started this two years ago, kinda wish I did more. I'm just glad I got it done. Goodnight. /episode/index/show/dmtam/id/4464308

DMTAM 82: Viva Las Vegas 03/27/2016

DMTAM 82: Viva Las Vegas So Mary Jane Watson is making a break for it. Since she's such an integral part of the show, Sanchez wanted to share her story and why she needs to ditch this godforsaken area. Creative has nothing for you as they say. So Las Vegas it is! Why Vegas? Listen to the episode and if nothing else, take something away from this. Like get off the futon and go follow your dreams. /episode/index/show/dmtam/id/4250735

The Friendship Episode Revisited 03/19/2016

The Friendship Episode Revisited This podcast was 7 months in the making. Mary Jane Watson had Sanchez over her place and he wanted to podcast. She obliged. They cranked out two podcasts and this is the first in what might as well be called a series. Sanchez brings up things going on in his life, in particular, his upcoming surgery. After 25 minutes of penis talk, they switch to friendship. It gets sappy for a minute, kind of intriguing actually. Its just friends talking about friends and the difference between male and female friends. Thanks to Queen on the music.
