In this second recording session, Adam and Doug mention the audio issues they had with the first session while unknowingly introducing several new ones. Expensive headphones. The comparative merits of old-school video games and consoles. The Mother series. Shenmue. Deadly Premonition is in the Spank Bank. Weird foot stuff. Henry Cavill’s mustache. Special effects; John Candy or John Lithgow? Movies that know they’re stupid. Full Moon is in the Spank Bank.

The final part of the first recording session continues on; Doug and Adam agree that Black Sabbath is the reason why it matters what your guitar sounds like. Adam talks about the time where Dee Snider fooled him into thinking he’s someone else, Doug knows a symphonic songwriter who’s Hard Tolkien, Adam refuses to let Dio go, Dio comes up yet again, and Adam lays down the groundwork for superfan status on Disco Metal

This episode continues Doug and Adam’s conversation from last episode and starts with how Tom Waits should go into advertising to children.  The two go back and forth talking about some top tier covers that Doug has assembled into talking points.  Adam also occasionally interjects bits and bobs without thought or structure; get used to this.  Adam-selected highlights include: Dio needing to sing songs from Public Access music videos, Metallica losing to Irish Folk music, Fleetwood Mac getting metal as fuck, and System of a Down singing about footjobs.
