#135 | Chuck Vogelpohl, D. Tate, K. Patterson, T. Brock, J. McCoy

In this 135th episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk Podcast, Dave Tate sits down with several of his old training partners from Westside, known as the OG AM crew from Demorest Road.

Chuck Vogelpohl, Kenny Patterson, Todd Brock, Joe McCoy, and Dave Tate shared close to a decade in the gym together. Combined, they share 60+ years' worth of Westside experience (at Westside) — dating back to when Westside existed out of Louie Simmons' garage to its current location on Industry Drive.
This will be unlike other episodes, as it’s been a long time since these guys have seen each other.
Expect some catching up, wild stories, and sh*t talking.
