WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD? Chris and Neely dive into the absolute lunacy of “Ozzy Ace” and a 40-minute rant that has people wondering if he’s on crank! Then, the rage hits a boiling point as they discuss the return of the “Knockout Game”—teenagers assaulting random strangers for “clout” on social media and then apologizing like it’s a “mistake.” Are we headed for vigilante justice? Plus, Eddie Trunk rants about the Rock Hall (again), and Chris explains why 90% of you are too lazy to use Bluetooth. Pure chaos energy right here! 🤘🔥

Is the era of the passive TV viewer officially dead? Chris Akin dives into the massive announcement regarding Survivor Season 50 and why the producers are suddenly handing the keys to the kingdom over to the fans. Why is a 24/7 streaming loop the new weapon of choice for major networks, and what does it say about our attention spans? Before you tune into the next “big thing,” you need to hear why the “on-demand” secret might be the only way to keep your sanity.

“Throwing out a statement like an already strained relationship in public without anything to back it up is a bitch move.”

UNPACKING THE SCANDAL: 🤘 Bro, we are going deep into the David Ellefson / Megadeth fallout. Bob Nalbandian joins Chris to argue over whether David was a “negligent” friend or if Dave Mustaine caved to the woke mob. Bob reveals he saw them avoiding each other backstage for YEARS—no talking, total separation. Is the Megadeth “brand” more important than a 40-year friendship?

Bro, the Megadeth camp is a MESS. Chris and Bob Nalbandian go toe-to-toe on whether Dave Mustaine caved to cancel culture or if David Ellefson finally just pushed the envelope too far with his side projects and “negligence.”

But the real “spit-your-beer-out” moment is Eddie Trunk. He spent his whole show “just saying” why he’s more qualified for the Radio Hall of Fame than Alice Cooper. You can’t make this shit up.

Is Eddie Trunk the most self-important guy in radio, or does he have a point about “pre-recorded” celebrity shows?

Have you noticed that the bigger the TV deals get, the worse the actual wrestling becomes? Why did WWE just produce a 3-hour flagship show with only four matches, and why does AEW think you’ve forgotten everything that happened in the last year? Are we witnessing the final “cash grab” before the industry collapses under its own weight? Chris Akin peels back the corporate curtain to reveal the uncomfortable truth about why your favorite sport feels like a soulless commercial.

"Come on, Belinda... let's see if those lips are really sealed. Sealed around my dick. Damn right. Either pair."

What the hell is wrong with these rock stars? Sebastian Bach is doing interviews claiming he has zero curiosity about the guys who replaced him in Skid Row. Neely and Chris aren’t buying it for a second—everyone has that morbid curiosity.

Then we’ve got Taime Downe. His girlfriend jumped overboard on a cruise , and he’s already booked for the next one. Neeley says dodge the boat, bro! We also rip on the Go-Go’s acting their age and Neil Turbin’s absolute trainwreck of an interview where he didn’t even know Bach had a new album out. 🔥🤘

What happened when Chris Akin found a “lost” tape from 2002 that he forgot even existed? Why is the most uncensored man in metal terrified and embarrassed to let the fans hear his “vicious” alternate reality version of a Dokken classic? Is this the most pathetic vocal performance in the history of the show, or has Chris finally revealed his “true” talentless rockstar self while fueled by a 72-hour bender? You won’t believe the “c-bomb” laden lyrics Chris wedged into this song—and why he claims Don Dokken has been doing it wrong for twenty years.

Why are you still wasting 15 hours of your life on binge-watching shows that go nowhere? Chris Akin went into Song Sung Blue expecting a generic musical biopic, but what he found was a “roller coaster” of raw human emotion that left him questioning why Hollywood has lost the art of the character arc. Is it possible for a story about a tribute band to be more authentic than the “trash” the big studios are feeding us? The real truth about whether this film is a “Netflix and chill” masterpiece or just another date night cliché is waiting inside.Timestamps01:02 – The Binge-Watch Burnout: Why 15 Hours Is Too Long 01:48 – Not Your Typical Biopic: The Springsteen Comparison 02:45 – Lightning and Thunder: The Tragedy Behind the Tribute 03:38 – The Lost Art of Character Building 06:24 – Final Verdict: Is It Worth Your Date Night?🚀 SUPPORT THE SHOW: * Rumble: https://www.rumble.com/c/cmsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@classicmetalshowLocals: https://classicmetalshow.locals.comSubstack: https://cmspn.substack.comX: https://www.x.com/cmsrocks🎙️ ABOUT CHRIS AKIN PRESENTS...

David Lee Roth is back with a new song called “Alligator Pants,” and Neely is losing his mind over how much of a “nimrod” Dave has become. It’s a weird, noisy mess that sounds like a depression-era dirt farmer’s fever dream.

But the real anger this week is aimed at the Ozzman. Ozzy admits he can’t walk and will only do “bits and pieces” for his hometown reunion show—but only AFTER the rubes already paid for tickets.
