Summary

On today's episode I reflect on being back in Sacramento and the amazing people I continue to run into every day. I ran into a fan at a gas station, and we talked about the early years of the Kings in Sactown. I share what it was like back in the 80's and my memories of travelling with the Kings. Back then the Kings flew on commercial flights, and it made for some interesting stories. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
