Is YouTube actively trying to destroy the very people who make them money? The guys are tackling the massive controversy around YouTube seemingly crushing small creators, plus the insane ESPN vs. YouTube TV holdout that’s leaving millions of sports fans in the dark. We’re cutting through the BS and giving you the unfiltered truth about the changing face of streaming. You won’t believe the drama Chris ran into with Rockin’ Randy Trask this week, either!

What the heck is happening in pop culture? Neeley and Chris dive into the serious sexual assault charges filed against Mike Smith (Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys) and the sad reality of Danny Masterson’s life behind bars. But it’s not all doom and gloom—we celebrate Sydney Sweeney completely destroying a ridiculous interviewer who tried to make her apologize for her existence!

Prepare for the most bizarre music mashup you’ve ever heard! We’re checking out a fun YouTube channel where AI transforms modern pop and rap tracks into glorious, over-the-top hair metal anthems. Does it work, or is it a metal crime? Plus, we break down new tunes and videos from Black N’ Blue, Evergrey, Death Angel, and the always controversial Stryper. We’re giving you the scoop on the best and the rest in new metal releases!

What’s crazier: Lemmy destroying a multi-million dollar mixing board with a cheeseburger, or King Diamond getting $26,000 a year from his government just for being an artist? Neeley and Chris tackle these wild metal stories! We also review George Lynch’s new single, which he released after admitting he totally lied about retiring. Hint: the guys are NOT impressed. Plus, check out the insane guitar talent from a young private school student.

Are the Michael Jackson lawsuits ever going to stop? Neeley and Chris weigh in on the skepticism around yet another claim against the deceased artist and review the MICHAEL movie trailer. We also dive into the wild passenger habit of “seat squatting” on planes and pay tribute to our friend Bob Nalbandian.
