Fannin’s Flashbacks – Episode 38 – Ray Howe & SOX

Episode 38 of #FanninsFlashbacks is live! On this episode, Jim is joined by 2 of his long time friends that go back to the beginning of the Highland days of IWA Mid South in 2003: Ray Howe & Sox. Sox had been begging for this episode since Jim started the podcast and then just completely screws the pooch [https://archive.org/download/ffep-38-ray-sox/FFEp38RaySox.mp3] when the recording begins. This episode is a trainwreck. None of which is Ray’s fault. Poor Prophet of Ash had to do way too much editing for the pennies he gets paid to do this so please suffer through this like Ash, Maniwa, Ray, and I had to do to make it worthwhile for all of us. You’ll probably like it once I go ballistic and just start yelling at Sox for how disengaged he is because he’s trying to follow a White Sox game on his phone instead of paying attention to the podcast he begged to be on. It took 38 weeks, the inverse of the 83 weeks that Nitro had in the lead in the Monday Night War but we finally have our 2000 Nitro episode. Remember, this is all Sox’s fault. Ray is innocent. Ash is innocent. Maniwa is innocent. I am innocent. I hope this episode doesn’t kill the town. So let it be written. So let it be done. Good day.
