Mahdis played the lead female role in Dave’s 1990’s Punk vs. Straight Edge gang film THE EDGE OF QUARREL. Shortly after that, she went on to do amazing things working on human rights issues of worldwide importance in conjunction with the U.N., while Dave pretty much just kept going to hardcore shows. Now finally back together in the same room, Dave and Mahdis rake through the coals of the past and uncover various bright embers including harrowing tales of prejudice encountered at 4 years old, smuggling punk rock and hardcore into Iran as a teenager, and the night she blindfolded and kidnapped two different Daves in order to subject them to a tasty torture. Also, Mahdis was instrumental in the start of the relationship between Dave and Michaelanne, which gets discussed at length when Michaelanne once again barges in on the recording session.
