I....AM....SPIN DOCTORRRRRR. Get it? Like the song from the album we're doing this week? One of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time, Black Sabbath's Paranoid paved the way for hundreds of long-haired, pentagram wearing, devil-horn throwing, angsty teenagers to piss their parents off. And who better to join us on this journey to the dark side than our good friend, comedian Bob Powers. Bob helps walk us through our most familiar album yet, and Rick gets steadily drunker throughout the recording, see if you can tell! And of course it's becoming the holiday season, so we talk Christmas, the rise and fall of fax machines (which we definitely confused with copiers, oops), which lamp is best to be beaten to death with, and we figure out what makes a good cover song. Yay holidays!

Thanks to Pale Blue Dot for our theme For You...
