We don’t really need to write much of an introduction for this one. Tim got the elusive Mark Gonzales mic’d up for the fifth episode of the Tim Pod, and this one is so good we decided to turn it into a two parter. What is normally #goodpod, has become #greatpod.

Don’t forget to check out the show highlights, the submitted questions, and the links and mentions from this week’s episode. And, as always, send shit for Tim to talk about next time here: satanandgodarebothdorks@gmail.com.

    Stick to written interviews Tim. That way you have the option to cut out all your unimpressive life stories. You’re interviewing THE GONZ. Pretty embarrassing on your part to convert this into an interview of yourself.

    first rule of an interview, let your subject speak! you were cutting off MARK GONZALES, one of the coolest motherfuckers on the planet, mid coversation with your not-so-interesting banter. you got to go to his house and chill with him and listen to him wax, but you could not shut up about yourself the whole time. fuck, that was so aggravating.

    Man I was thinking some comments were kinda harsh on Tim before hearing this interview. But it wasn’t harsh. Tim, with all do respect, please let the subject elaborate on what you are asking. That way, you can allow for them to lead into other topics. Then other questions surface that you hadnt planned. Now you might think “hey! It turned into 2 parts so ha!” But that’s because you dominate the conversation. It’s like you are on coke. Wait… Is that why you wouldn’t allow Mark Gonzales to complete a sentence? Because you sniffed a few rails before you asked about grinding rails. I really want to tune in but please take this as constructive criticism. And yes, this is what I do for a living.
