Summary

In this week's episode, 153: Trash Panda Express; the guys are joined by returning guest Matt from episode 115: Charged at in the Dark, to share some more stories that he's gathered on the road. Matt, has 27+ years experience in the industry, 18 of which have been with his current company, Estes Express. When he joined us last time, Matt shared some great experiences, including being charged at by what he thought was some creepy creature. This time Matt shares more stories from the road, some of which happened since being on the show, and others that he recalled from previous years. Including being relocated out of his room due to a "stinky neighbor" moving in unexpectedly. This was a blast to have Matt back on the show, and we hope that you enjoy this episode!
