Classic Metal Show

An HBCU announcer sparked outrage after calling a rival school’s plus-size dance team, the Honeybees, “the new face of Ozempic” during a halftime show. The hosts dissect the fallout, including the announcer’s apology and critics who called the comment “fat phobic as fuck”. We dive into the absurdity of the criticism, the misuse of “phobic” terms, and the constantly “moving goalposts” of what society deems acceptable speech. Wait until you hear the shocking reason nothing happened to the announcer!

Chris Akin is back with CMS news, and he’s not holding back on the controversial topic of reissues, specifically targeting the announcement of Iron Maiden’s Live After Death 40th Anniversary collector’s vinyl edition. While admitting it’s his favorite live album of all time , he calls out the band for constantly repackaging the “same shit” and argues that this new 2LP color vinyl edition is a major “cash grab” since it uses the decade-old 2015 audio remastering. He also touches on other bands like David Coverdale who constantly reissue their catalogs.
