007 - Board Games & Bullets w/ Dwight Simmons

In the Bond (007) episode of “I Learned It From You”; Zach, FINALLY, gets to have a chat with craft beer aficionado and the first contest winning comedian he ever met in Dwight Simmons. In this particular trip down memory lane, Dwight shares tales about the 4th of July parties (dare I say bangers) he’d have with his “Granny”, the random things he came across when working in the kitchen of his father’s restaurant and how a day filled with arcades, amusement parks and White Castle ended in him being grounded. Be sure to check out Dwight Simmons on Instagram and YouTube where you’ll find his web series “BrewTube” which highlights both local comedy and craft beer scenes. He’s also got 2 standup albums, Pacifist Aggressive and Sip & Pass, which are, highly recommended.
