Dave Markert
Special guest
No one can derail a show like Dave Markert.
A professional fighter and physical therapy assistant from West Virginia, now residing in Savannah, Georgia, no one has accidentally spoken more hilarious nonsense than Dave. Prominent examples include:
"I almost busted your ass on my icy driveway."
Dave: "He needs, you know, one of those things where they cut part of the brain. What is it? An enema."
Brad: "A LOBOTOMY?"
Dave: "Yeah, that's it. Whatever. Shut up."Dave: "It sounds like Huey Lewis. The fat guy, with the gap in his teeth, and that laugh."
Brad: "You mean LOUIE ANDERSON?!"
Dave: "Yeah, right, that's it.""How would you like it if I smacked me on YOUR bare ass?"
"Hey, slow down. Don't put the horse before the cart."
Dave Markert has been a guest on 10 episodes.

Apex Live 010 - Mushroom in the Middle
May 9th, 2018 | 1 hr 16 mins
We're (finally) back with our first episode of 2018! Once the show begins we wish the listeners a severely belated Happy New Year, drop in another critique of the Varsity Blues barbecue scene that somehow leads to a discussion about Bill Paxton, Randy Travis, and country music in the 1980s. Our lengthy hiatus is discussed and explained, and our discussion of egomania, megalomania, and politicians is rudely interrupted by a message from Dave Markert... leading to an unplanned ambush interview. Stay tuned for a Virginia Tech update, proper grenade-tossing technique, and the introduction of a new segment of the program and highlight the importance of finding common ground. We're back to it, and we'll talk again soon.
