Ever found yourself doubled over with laughter at something you've completely forgotten saying? That's exactly what happens when John and Jay revisit their old podcast episodes, laughing at jokes they don't even remember making. "It's like listening to an actual podcast, brand new," John admits, perfectly capturing the beautiful chaos that defines this show.

This episode takes listeners on a wild, uncensored journey through nostalgia and random cultural tangents. John shares updates on his new job and the frustratingly delayed "Level Up" business venture, contemplating opening his own store rather than waiting indefinitely. The conversation naturally spirals into stories about cockroach-infested apartments, strip club adjacent living, and what makes the perfect bachelor pad.

Music becomes a central theme as the hosts passionately defend underrated bands like Europe ("fucking amazing" beyond just "The Final Countdown"), analyze scenes from comedy classic "Hot Rod," and perform an improvised "Planetarium Experience" skit that's as educational as it is hilariously inaccurate. Their genuine enthusiasm shines brightest during an extended dive into 90s hip-hop nostalgia, where they unearth forgotten gems from Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer, and surprising celebrity musicians from Bruce Willis to Billy Bob Thornton.

What makes this podcast special isn't just the topics—it's the authentic friendship and completely unfiltered approach. John and Jay speak with the comfortable candor of longtime friends who've forgotten the microphones are there, creating moments of unexpected hilarity and genuine connection. Whether you're a returning listener or first-timer, you'll feel like you're hanging out with old friends who just happen to be podcasting about whatever crosses their minds.

The laughs kick off with our unvarnished take on the Happy Gilmore 2 trailer, where we dissect Hollywood's ongoing love affair with nostalgia and question whether Adam Sandler's upcoming sequel can recapture the magic of the original. Our no-holds-barred analysis reflects our commitment to honest comedy criticism – we call it like we see it, even when it means questioning beloved franchises.

Ready to watch two passionate metalheads go down the rabbit hole of obscure bands, Metallica deep cuts, and unfiltered comedy? This episode takes you on a musical adventure you won't forget.

John and Jay kick things off by discussing a potential recording opportunity for their band, weighing the merits of a surprisingly affordable studio package that includes recording, mixing, and mastering. Their excitement is tempered with the healthy skepticism of musicians who've learned that if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is—but this opportunity might just be the real deal.

The conversation shifts to an extensive analysis of Metallica's controversial 2003 album "St. Anger." The hosts dissect why the album was initially maligned (that infamous trash-can snare sound!) while arguing for its importance as a creative stepping stone in the band's evolution. "St. Anger crawled so Death Magnetic could run," they conclude, showcasing their ability to appreciate the nuances of a divisive release. This segment shines with genuine passion as they compare studio and live recordings, highlighting how production choices dramatically impact an album's reception.

The most entertaining portion arrives when the hosts embark on a journey of musical discovery, searching YouTube for underground industrial and metal bands. Their authentic reactions to discovering gems like After Dusk, Gloomlight, and The Cold Shoulder capture the pure joy of finding new music. "It's like discovering an artifact that hasn't been found yet," they marvel, sharing their excitement with listeners who might be seeking fresh sounds beyond mainstream metal.

The episode wraps with updates on personal health journeys and upcoming endeavors, including a job interview and radio appearance. Throughout it all, John and Jay maintain their signature blend of humor, insight, and unabashed enthusiasm that keeps listeners coming back for more.

Raw, unfiltered, and delightfully chaotic – that's what awaits you in this episode as John and Jay take listeners on another wild ride through their week's adventures and random musings.

Jay kicks things off with exciting news about his DJ business scoring a radio promotion opportunity on 96.7 The Mix, showcasing his entrepreneurial hustle. The conversation flows naturally into a nostalgic discussion about recording songs off the radio – remember holding those microphones up to speakers and praying no one would talk during your favorite song? Today's streaming generation will never understand the struggle!

Things take an interesting turn when the hosts dive into the darker side of social media, discussing controversial AI filters creating fake Down syndrome content. Their commentary, while adult-oriented and boundary-pushing, raises legitimate questions about digital ethics and exploitation in today's algorithm-driven world.

In a surprisingly vulnerable segment, both hosts open up about their experiences with compression shirts and body confidence. It's a refreshingly honest conversation about male body image that balances self-deprecating humor with genuine insights about personal growth and acceptance.

The episode continues with stories about Jay's successful wedding DJ gig at a gorgeous venue on the Olentangy River, plans for an upcoming charity golf outing at Mohawk, and hilariously awkward public bathroom encounters. The hosts' willingness to share embarrassing childhood tales creates an atmosphere of relatability despite the outrageous nature of some anecdotes.

Metal mayhem and festival tales dominate as we break down the Sonic Temple experience from start to finish. After four years of podcasting (an eternity in the podcast world!), we're celebrating episode 172 with a deep dive into what makes a great metal festival.

Sonic Temple emerges as the clear winner when compared to Inkcarceration, offering flat ground instead of treacherous hills, better spacing between stages, and perfect timing weather-wise. The lineup delivered serious firepower with Ice Nine Kills crushing their set, Bullet For My Valentine sounding album-perfect, and Whitechapel demonstrating why they're considered death metal royalty. Even unexpected acts like ICP drew massive crowds, though some veterans like Rob Zombie showed their age with winded performances and partial lyrics.

Beyond festival talk, we explore Cedar Point's surprising new comedy shows and take a musical journey through bands you might not know yet but absolutely should. From Russian mathcore outfit Ape on the Rocket to Italian metalcore group Burning Hayes, we unearth hidden gems that deserve spots on your playlist. Each discovery fuels our appreciation for the endless creativity in the metal scene.

After 172 episodes, we're still passionate about sharing the music and movies we love. Whether you're here for the bands, the banter, or the bizarre tangents, we appreciate you joining our metal-fueled conversations. Check out these bands, let us know what you think, and join us next week for more mayhem.

Ready your eardrums for a wild ride through the Sonic Temple Music Festival lineup! In this episode, we transform into musical explorers, diving headfirst into the unknown bands populating the four-day metal extravaganza in Columbus.

Before our musical journey begins, we spend some quality time geeking out over HBO's "Righteous Gemstones," appreciating how perfectly it satirizes money-hungry evangelical empires. The character of Baby Billy (played masterfully by Walton Goggins) steals the spotlight in our conversation as we discuss the show's brilliant balance of dark humor and compelling character development.

Then we strap in for our main adventure – listening to dozens of unfamiliar bands scheduled for Sonic Temple. Our reactions range from enthusiastic head-banging to bewildered confusion as we encounter everything from blistering death metal to unexpected 80s industrial sounds. The format feels delightfully reminiscent of Beavis and Butthead, with unfiltered, immediate reactions to both music and visuals. Highlights include discovering gems like Uncured, Left to Suffer, and Angel Maker – all earning spots on our must-see festival schedule.

A brief intermission features our resident parody artist "Toby Queef" delivering an outrageously inappropriate country song before we continue our musical exploration. The deeper we dive into Friday and Saturday's lineups, the more excited we become about bands like 200 Stab Wounds, Peeling Flesh, and Boundaries – noting how the festival seems strategically organized with harder, more death metal-focused acts appearing later in the weekend.

Whether you're attending Sonic Temple, considering future festival plans, or simply enjoy hearing two friends judge music they've never heard before, this episode delivers equal parts practical insight and genuine laughs. After 171. episodes together, our chemistry creates the perfect backdrop for this musical adventure. Hit play and join us as we separate the metal wheat from the chaff!

We kick things off with an epic Disney discussion, ranking our top five animated classics. Robin Hood claims Jay's number one spot, while John champions Aladdin. The conversation flows through beloved characters, iconic scenes, and the magic that makes these films timeless. We discover surprising common ground in our love for A Goofy Movie and debate the merits of Beauty and the Beast versus Pinocchio.

The nostalgia continues as we shift to live-action Disney films. John reveals his deep appreciation for Mary Poppins—"the greatest blend of Disney"—while Jay surprises with his unexpected love for Cool Runnings and Heavyweights. Our journey through Disney's vast catalog unearths forgotten gems like The Shaggy Dog and Pete's Dragon, sparking memories that will transport you back to childhood movie nights.

Just when you think we're all Disney all day, we pivot to showcase some seriously heavy new music. From the haunting vocals of Illicit Thoughts to the aggressive assault of Filth's "Stay Gutter," we explore the cutting edge of metal across various subgenres. Our enthusiasm peaks when discussing Wage War's "Tombstone" with its Pantera-inspired outro riff that has us both geeking out over guitar tones and breakdowns.

Dive into the hilarious, unfiltered world of John and Jay as they tackle everything from post-Easter reflections to passionate metal music discoveries in this episode that feels like hanging out with your most entertaining friends.

The conversation kicks off with lighthearted "Zombie Jesus Day" greetings before evolving into what might be the most comprehensive candy debate you'll ever hear. From the mysterious cold interior of Ferrero Rochers to the eternal struggle between Snickers and Butterfingers, the hosts dissect their childhood favorites with surprising detail and enthusiasm. Their pronunciation debate over "caramel" versus "carmel" perfectly captures the show's ability to find humor in the everyday.

Things take a scathing turn when the hosts review a new Mexican restaurant committing cardinal dining sins—paper plates, no complimentary chips, and overpriced canned sodas instead of fountain drinks. This critique stands in stark contrast to their praise for exceptional establishments like a local deli offering rare free orange juice refills and a solid burger joint experience at Kalahari resort.

The episode's heart truly emerges during an extensive metal music exploration segment where John and Jay discover bands like Wage War and Gideon with genuine excitement that's contagious even to casual listeners. Their descriptions of "chunky riffage" and concert experiences reveal their authentic passion for music discovery.

Between these main discussions, unexpected moments keep things interesting—from the outrageous "Gabagool Gals" Brooklyn character segment to Tim's surprise appearance during a bathroom break. The episode wraps with touching gratitude for their listeners, especially those supporting Jay's game store venture.
