They dive deep into the ethics of taking “blood money” to perform in Saudi Arabia, Jim’s thoughts on Artie Lang’s retirement, and how new bands like Ghost and Sleep Token are bringing fresh blood into the hard rock and metal scene. Seth also asks Jim what it’s like to tell jokes that offend people, revealing some genuinely shocking experiences from his own life—you won’t believe what happened in his house! This episode is packed with hard-hitting comedy talk and classic rock nostalgia, so tune in!

Can you believe it’ll cost a family of four at least a grand to see the Browns in the new stadium? Chris is absolutely furious, calling out Jimmy Haslam for pricing out the real, hardcore fans who have supported the team for 30 years of suffering. He argues that this isn’t just about money, it’s about the soul of Cleveland football and how the city is bending over backward to pay for a building they won’t be able to afford to walk into. Seth argues people will find a way to pay for it, leading to a fiery confrontation you have to hear! Let us know in the comments: Is it worth $1000 to see the Browns?
