Chris and Neeley are reminiscing about the early days of The Classic Metal Show, and Chris drops a story that will make you spit out your beer. You wouldn’t believe the lengths we went to for content back then... including calling a rock star after he was dead and getting his voicemail. What the hell were we thinking?! Bro, the sheer disrespect... but we can’t stop laughing 🤘😂.

This being the second of them and this was the I don’t know if you can call it the bigger one because it was a collaboration, but it is absolutely one of the shittiest pieces of shit that ever shit out of shit, ate the shit, then shit it out again and made a bigger piece of shit.” Bro, this Lulu rant had us DYING, what the actual F were Metallica thinking?!

Holy shit, metalheads – Jon & Brian from Talking Into Infinity are BACK, diving into 2011’s killer albums like Anthrax’s Worship Music (total comeback banger), Symphony X’s Iconoclast (riffs that slap harder than your ex), and Dream Theater’s Dramatic Turn (Portnoy drama vibes). But then... the nuclear meltdown on Metallica & Lou Reed’s Lulu – “shittiest piece of shit that ever shit” levels of rage! Plus movies like Thor & Super 8, and a fan hangout tease with gorilla farts & cello jams. What a chaotic ride, bros!

Seth and Chris kick off a manic Monday talking about long weekends and shocking Browns game decisions. Then, they bring on Jake Underwood, the new host of the Jake Underwood Show on WHK 1420, who hired Seth as his producer, to talk about his political background, his vision for the show’s local politics focus, and his time with the Kennedy campaign. Long-time friend and “roving restaurant reporter,” Tony Masaccio, checks in to discuss the closure of Flats restaurants Rum Rauner’s and Inferno, and why downtown Cleveland businesses will be fine even with the Browns moving. Did Seth really get his paycheck-cashing story out on air right next to the new, classy host?
