In honor of the passing of Eddie Van Halen I picked out 3 pieces for this episode of the podcast.  Sammy Hagar kicks us off talking about the ups and downs of Van Halen and whether he would ever have a beer with David Lee Roth.  The very funny comedian Craig Gadd is up next talking about living in Eddie Van Halen's house.  David Lee Roth wraps it talking about the tension in the band that was always there.  RIP to Eddie Van Halen a kind soul with a gift for the guitar.  Influenced by Eric Clapton before he took it to the next level.

Blackberry Smoke Vic Henley Jim Florentine Chuck from North Carolina 12/27
I now cherish the last year of radio I did especially with the passing of my dear friends Carl Ruiz and Vic Henley.  I was able to come to the realization why I went into radio all those years ago.  It was for the fun and pure joy of it.  The last year was filled with ugliness, drama and a ton of laughter.  Me, Carl Ruiz, Vic Henley and Sherrod Small had the time of our lives on and off the radio show.  Our close friendships was on full display.  The last year also saw Carl Ruiz blossom into a superstar which led me to do the Opie Radio podcast with him.  A special thanks to Erock, Clubsoda Kenny, Paul and Louis for going on this ride with us.  Hope you enjoy the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of the last year of radio I did.

Live at Gebhards Beer Culture with Matt and Little Foot with Comedians Ron the Waiter and JQ. Talking nyc earthquake and the lame eclipse. Bob Kelly should have taken the hit, if you're a bigger person you should never tweet "was that an earthquake?", that can't be your favorite band, wrestling stinks, the bathroom at CBGB, if you don't do this I don't trust you, that's why they invented the drop ceiling, we don't talk about why Matt was arrested in Thailand, can you be just friends with the opposite sex, Ron's crazy mom story and more!
