In this episode:

- No lie, Jon Bovi’s first professional recording was on a Star Wars Christmas album, and yes of course we play it 

- Bah gawd, the riff is stolen!

Also in this episode:

- Get me Tom Billboard!

- Why Prince decided to be “noisy”

-The hateful, secret Prince album, aka The Funk Bible

-When Ginuwine tried to “Fugees” this song and Metallica just tried to kill it.
