Johnny "Rockwell" Riche discussion & drawing with ArtByTai on DOD45 (S1 Ep10)

Tai draws a honey badger while chatting with his long-time friend, Johnny Riche.  Johnny has always been known as a brawler and at the same time one of the most likable and charismatic people you could have the pleasure of knowing. He is the co-owner and vice president of business development at Rockwell Time, a lifestyle company specializing in watches, sunglasses, and apparel.    This episode is chock-full of laughs while they just shoot the shit, talking about old movies and video games, Johnny's time as a guinea pig doing crazy stunts on Nitro Circus' TV Series - Thrillbillies, and Man vs Youtube. They also chat about Johnny's experiences on television via shows like The Rockwell Chronicles, 3.2 Percent and The Ultimate Combat Experience.    Johnny talks about his early life and how he'd often fight his younger brother, but turn and around and beat up any person who'd mess with that same brother. He also tells a funny encounter he had with someone who claimed to be Karl Malone's personal trainer & he discusses his friendship with former NBA All-Star, Olympic Gold Medalist Deron Williams.   The episode is wrapped up with Johnny explaining how the tragic loss of his brother, parents, and so many other loved ones has empowered him to turn each day into the best of days.     Sophie's Choice questions from this episode include: The Hulk or The Rock?
