  • Best Episode Ever

    Fellas, what an episode. Quite possibly the best episode ever, any genre, since O.J. Simpson’s podcast episode “I Didn’t Do It But What If I Did.”

    Your detailed observation of each and every selection and the picks themselves were quite simply ear boggling.

    As I was listening to this Gone With The Wind of podcast episodes I started to become butthole puckering nervous that Tuk Smith was not going to be on the list. As the selections rolled on, I was getting ready to fly to Nashville, tie both ... more

  • Vinnie Vincent’s Lost Box Set

    I have been a loyal listener for almost the entire length of the show and let me tell ya it’s one of the best shows out there for hard rock and heavy metal music and the best part? THEY SUPPORT NEWER BANDS!! I’ve become really close friend with Chris and Aaron over the last few years and if I could give 5 pink stars I definitely would but just Like Vinnie Vincent those are coming in the mail for a hefty fee of $5000 and a letter that says I SAVED KISS!!! Hope you get a great laugh reading this
