We're still getting season three together but gotta tell these stories GOTTA tell these stories. This week we're chatting with UK firebrand Kid Bookie who's making waves with his proudly nu-metal affections. Check it and check his latest here.

While we get the nu season revved up and ready to go with our heart, soul, mind and passion we've gotta bring you some of this sweet sweet content in the meantime. Today, it's a post-Mother's Day Mother's Day episode with O.K. KO! and the landmark episode "Know Your Mom" which featured Jonathan Davis as elderly villain Succulentus. Show storyboard team member Parker Simmons worked on the episode and has lots of fun stories to tell.

Here's a totally fun thing we'll never do again. We went live on Twitch and Zoom and then invited people to come hang. The Discord peeps were awesome! Then I got cocky and tweeted the zoom link out. That part was a little weirder. Still totally worth it but once I realized the risk we were taking well I don't think we'll ever be doing that again. Still! Enjoy this. We're gonna go on break now so I can work on booking guests and recording episodes. Love all who contributed to season two, season three is gonna be huge.

Max Cavalera departs Sepultura amidst contentious circumstances and forms Soulfly. Does he top his former band? The NMA and internet historian Justin Whang are thinking maybe he did... Maybe he did...

Truly, the PB&J of nu-metal's cultural moment.

It's HEALTHBILLY DELUXE as Johnny returns for a deep dive into Rob Zombie's 1999 smash album before we crack our heads on the bottom of the pool realizing you can't really 'deep dive' Hellbilly Deluxe. Then we talk about Tool for a while. 

As valid as any album we'll ever cover we get into the soundtrack of the 1999 classic Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 and what made it such an unforgettable collection. And we had to bring PODKast superstar John Cullen along. He's only a world ranked Pro Skater player and personal friend of Tony Hawk himself. 

As the 20th anniversary of Linkin Park's massive, genre finale sophomore album Meteora comes we discuss the album with two of the genius brain trust behind @LPLive, the web's foremost Linkin Park database.

Tacking the big one with one of modern rock's definitive writers Ian Cohen. It's Deftones. It's White Pony. It's a possibly intoxicated Holiday Kirk with a weird bone to pick about Pitchfork scores.
