BINGO!
And just for fun, to lighten things up.. Natlalie a long time listener, has come up with her own Punk Rock Dadcast Bingo Card. Johnny seems to think its a drinking game.. it could be. But do what with ya want with it. Eat a slice of pie with everyone.. Or the whole pie for a full card! Enjoy!
UPDATE:
After pre-recording this episode on Wednesday, January 17th. Shaner woke up on Friday, to find his in-laws, his dad, wife and neighbours in his living room. They were all setup in a circle. They had him sit down on the couch. It was an intervention.
He too has been suffering from mental health, which is why he wanted to put together this episode. He has been struggling from alcohol addiction for many years. So he will be going into Detox for a 3-5 days any day soon. Followed by a 28 day rehab program at Another Road Facility in Port Perry, ON. We will be putting the Johnny and Shaner Punk Rock Dadcast on hold until his return, and we will do a post follow up! We wish him well.
For anyone who needs the same services as Shaner, here are the two services he is using.
