The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, may have been a musical genius, but according to his pal Lionel Richie, he was also, well, smelly! In his new memoir Truly, Richie shares the shocking, gross details about Jackson’s hygiene habits, confirming that the nickname “Smelly”, given by Quincy Jones, was totally earned. Wait until you hear the crude anecdote about the sticky, old clothes and underwear Jackson left behind. Chris and Neeley dive into the most controversial music memoir revelation of the year, questioning why a superstar with billions wouldn’t just take a shower.

In other metal news, the guys are talking about the launch of the new YouTube channel dedicated to the legendary Bob Nalbandian, featuring old Skull Sessions episodes. Bob’s legacy is absolutely crucial to the heavy metal community, and the guys talk about his early instrumental role in the rise of bands like Metallica and Megadeth. Plus, the Sunset Fest Cabo “Woodstock of Yacht Rock” festival is a total disaster, with stars like Kenny Loggins and Alan Parsons dropping out due to promoter issues—it’s turning into a Fyre Fest for boomers.
