Don't Make This About Me

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. You'll hear that he didn't get that far. Thanks to Motorhead on the music. Once you are done here go to ringratzpodcast.com and subscribe to the Ring Ratz Pro Wrestling Gossip Show on iTunes!

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.

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.

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. This episode is sponsored by Sabatino's Italian Restaurant and Chesapeake Urology.

Another fun group episode of the podcast! Dylan invited SANCHEZ over for dinner and fellowship with friends. We were joined by TJ, Ashley and new guest Erika. Topics of conversation range from Foo Fighters, food poisoning at Mayhem Fest, shooting yourself in the foot and Christian the Lion. Dylan's phone conversation in the background is on point and is great background music. Thanks to Rich Homie Quan on the music. @DMTAMpod on Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and Vine.

After a month of no podcasts, Nick and SANCHEZ hung out to talk before they saw the Amy Winehouse documentary "Amy." The boys talk about recent concerts they have been to, recent movies they saw (or are about to see), how much they're friends have changed in appearance, and much more.

Nick W. joins us this week as he takes SANCHEZ to Hunter's Sale Barn. The guys talk about SANCHEZ's recovery issues and his ongoing struggle with sobriety. Nick tells a story about a burglary.

There's a lot going on with this episode. SANCHEZ deals with the loss of a friend. There is loss everywhere in many people's lives and we all find our own ways to deal with it. SANCHEZ and Boo have a conversation on the day they found out that a mutual friend lost her battle with cancer. They share memories and reckon with the facts of what the disease can do to the human body. After a couple breaks, SANCHEZ and Boo talk about the goings-on around town and share thoughts on things happening. SANCHEZ thought there wasn't going to be music but then decided to add music. Thanks to The Mountain Goats on the music. @DMTAMpod on Twitter.

A new batch of Short Stories for your listening enjoyment! We start off talking with Dylan and Phil as we reminisce about run-ins with the law and thoughts on dealing with traffic stops. Next, Tricky makes his return in a brief story about the reoccuring nightmares he has been having. Then, we finish off with two longer stories, one featuring Phil and the other featuring Dylan. Phil tells us about the time he was kicked out of Middletown, DE. Dylan tells the story about how totaling his car saved his life. It is my favorite and you don't want to miss it! @DMTAMpod on Twitter

So SANCHEZ spent the weekend in jail. He's got one down and one more to go. SANCHEZ asked Boo to join him so they could podcast about his experience and fill her in on what it's like to be a weekender at Cecil County Detention Center's Department of Community Corrections. How did SANCHEZ fare in the courtroom? What did he think about the people he spent the weekend with? What did he do to pass the time behind the barbed wire fences? All these questions answered and more in this two parter! Thanks to Richie Havens on the music.

Turn down the lights, get a snack and settle in with someone that makes you feel safe, because we're telling ghost stories! SANCHEZ is joined by Brother D and Mary Jane Watson this week and the supernatural is our topic of discussion. SANCHEZ tells of the things he's seen at his grandmother's and great-grandmother's houses. Brother D scares us with a freaky story from when he was a young child. This will convince you on the idea of a poltergeist. Also, Brother D pitches a supernatural ghost hunter show for the future.

Master Cooling founded the Order of Isshin Ryu on January 15, 1971 in an effort to keep his word to Master Shimabuku, who asked him to ". . .go back to the States and teach good Isshin Ryu for me, make happy family."

Fisher is a guy that I've wanted to have on the podcast since I started it. We've known each other since childhood, we've worked together in the past and this guy has great stories. We invade Aqua Sol (pardon the background noise) for a fun chat about childhood, drinking, high school parties, THAT Mexico story and our run ins with Johnny Law. This conversation did get cut short because the host is an idiot. Still nice to relive some memories with a guy I've known 15+ years. Thanks to Pink Floyd on the music. @DMTAMpod on Twitter

I don't know if you were aware, but Mary Jane Watson has a sister. Her name is Heather and she's funny, opinionated and a great guest on the show. The sisters grace the Cobalt and double team the podcast with a brand of humor all their own. We cover early childhood memories, the first time they tried certain substances, why stores in the mall change all the time, driving misfortunes and a crack-head looking for his mom.

This is a departure from the past couple weeks. This is NSFW and contains strong and explicit language. We lead off with Mary Jane Watson and her saga of buying a car from an online government auction. The second story is a living example of why they should ban drinking and podcasting.

We also visit with Karlo Botz to talk about how this generation is hurt by not learning the same things they did 20 years ago.
