This week Ken and Mario sit down for a special West Coast episode. Kicking off the conversation w/ the change in how sports journalism is presented, and the TMZ-ification of journalism in general; the way we interact with the world now has as much nutritional value as ordering the #4 deep-fried at the fast-food drive-thru. Like only the West Coast Sharks can, this free flowing conversation covers all the nooks and crannies of life in the modern age, while at its core is an exploration of the way some people chose to interact with each other and try to find love from isolated spaces.
