#262 with John Feldmann

I spend time with my buddy ole pal John Feldmann, aka Feldy, himself!  We’ve been in a band together, we’ve written songs together, we have traveled all over the world together…  our ties are deep. I love this man.

We get started with some good old car talk.. and John tells us how he uses his Self-driving Tesla to sleep in traffic.
