The lounge is open...

After an overwhelming amount of downloads and support for our recent interview with the 80's, all female, metal band Vixen, we decided to open the lounge for a special podcast.

Tonight, Ty Ray and Nick Gelso look at their TOP FIVE favorite female rock & roll vocalists.

Following their top 5, the boys discuss the trending question of "Is Santa Claus black or white?" - silly, right? That's what we're all about... a happy hour for your mind.

Raise your lighters and get out the Aqua Net.  The "virtual lounge" is filled with the sounds of 80's hair metal as hosts Ty Ray and Nick Gelso visit with Vixen rock band lead singer Janet Gardner.

Ty Ray is out "on location in parts unknown, covering something." Ty was brave enough to leave the keys to the "Virtual Lounge" with Nick Gelso.

Gelso invited actor, Matthew Fahey, to attempt to fill Ty's clogs. Fahey welcomes his Hollywood buddy, actor Sam Lerner into the lounge. The two actors discuss young Hollywood, Indie films, episodic television and projects that they are now working on.

Lerner is the son of Hollywood legend, Ken Lerner and the nephew of actor Michael Lerner. Sam talks about growing up in a respected acting family. Lerner is now anticipating the premier of his new film, (tentatively) called, Almanac. 

Other projects Sam has worked on:
