(371) DotW Featuring ‘The 450s’ and ‘Insurrection

Leave a comment

Disciples!!

Before we get to the ‘meat’, one caveat: This episode was recorded right before Ozzy Osbourne’s passing, but we decided to still release it and address his passing on a later episode.

With that being said, I (Gene) recap the ‘Back to the Beginning’ but not overly-so, and we have our usual shenanigans. PLUS! Some great music from ‘The 450s’ and ‘Insurrection’.

Enjoy!
