Noman and Rory welcome — or perhaps tolerate — Nikki Nogoodnik, a former Rough Cutt roadie who answered a job posting of questionable legitimacy and ended up in the lunchroom of the Metal Shoppe. Between sorting out whether Nikki is actually employed here, a deep dive into Cactus and their influence on hard rock and metal, and a playlist that runs through Atomic Rooster, Edguy, Grayhawk, Paladin, and a virtual League of Legends metal band called Penta Kill, it's a full session. Also: a Catholic Satanist, a mini-disc player, and an incident involving a tapestry that nearly ended the working relationship before it began.
