This week we get super niche and talk about surgery and medical practices among the Golden Age pirates with Mark "Mission" Kehoe.  He's a pirate surgery expert and reenactor with some great stories.  Plus he'll blow quite a few myths out of the water.

I learned a lot during this interview and I'll be you will too.

Plus comedy from Justin Gomes about getting pick-pocketed in San Francisco and a song called "Devil's Drink" by Irish pirate metal band O'Craven.

Plus comedy from Irene Tu about working in a book store in 2016 and a song called "The Epic" by Monkey.

I could NOT wipe the smile from my face during this interview!  John Chatterton is a wreck diver and treasure hunter.  He's been to Titanic, the Andrea Doria, and discovered a German U-Boat wreck.  But most importantly for this show, he was on the team the found the Golden Fleece, a pirate ship helmed by captain Joseph Bannister.

This is Part 1 of my interview with John Chatterton.  He had so many great stories that I had to split it into two episodes.  Stay tuned next week for Part 2.

Plus comedy from Steve McGowan about Chuck E. Cheese and a song called "Mislead" by The Cautious.
