We take a moment to talk with Chris Wilson from The Mistakes about the old days in Hollywood, California. The 90's had some of the best Punk Glam Warehouse Parties of all time.

Chris also discusses the organizations he supports for Autism, since April is Autism Awareness Month.

Erik makes the mistake of ranting on the wrong tweet to the Grammys. Doja Cat fans were not happy with him!

The Gen X Brothers wonder why the Grammys don't represent metal music like they use to. No honorable mention of Slipknots' Joey Jordison

Chris also takes us back to the good old days with stories about: Marilyn Manson, Revolution Hazy, Rock Stars Kill, The Zeros, Alley Cat Scratch, Queeny Blast Pop, Foxy Roxx, The Unflushables, and more.

Chris Wilson Bass Player and founding member of the L.A. punk/glam band The Mistakes. After I moved back to FL, my dad (Paul Wilson) started focusing on his music again. He had a bunch of songs and asked me to play bass. Paul Wilson & Friends became the new band and often included my nephew. I also founded a nonprofit called We Rock for Autism that I ran for a few years and I also helped a buddy who put a cookbook together to support autism. Kenny from Nova Rex and I got recipes from a variety of rock stars and put them together for Rockin' Recipes for Autism. I linked up again with Revolution Hazy singer, Kelly Page was in a band with his nephew Kyle, and after hearing the songs, I invited myself to play bass. We played together for a few years in a band called Fairly Amazing. Kelly and Kyle are still at it, but I just focus my time on work and family now. I am currently booking one last show. This show is in honor of my dad who is battling cancer right now. Chris's Website

Gen X Brothers take a step back in time to remember living in Hollywood California in the 90's.

We lived right off of Hollywood Blvd. on Yucca Street. Before that Erik was homeless living in the car with his bandmate Toe-Knee.

There were drug dealing gangs on every corner. People getting shot in the face and Machete maniacs in our building.

Dirty Underwear, shopping carts and fist fights on the mean streets of Los Angeles all while hanging out with El Duce of the legendary shock rock back The Mentors.

The greatest comeback since Michael Jackson. He has risen from the dead to bring us a spectacular piece of music - Corey Feldman releases his greatest Music Video of all time. The Comeback King featuring Curtis Young. We tear this crap apart!

And we mention the time we met Corey Feldman in Hollywood. Or the time he ignored us.

We also discuss the best source for music back in the 80's and it wasn't MTV. It was Columbia House Music - 12 tapes for 1 penny.

The final season of Ozarks is upon us. Our greatest trailer park love is Ruth. Her amazing acting skills and emotional damage.

We can't end any show without talking about Ukraine. Russia is getting closer to defeating the country, will anyone help? Will it be Sean Penn? Ukraine Grandmas elite fighting style. What will Putin do if he looses?
