204 - The Quarry (w/ Greg Cipes)

We can honestly say: today's guest is one for the books! Greg Cipes (AKA Chuck from the quarry) is with us as we talk about 204, "The Quarry." His free spirit nature is palpable in every minute of this recap. We ask him about his illustrious voice acting career, he tells us about his childhood pet snake, and leaves us with a mantra. All while being seated on the floor, criss-cross apple sauce.
