(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!

Disciples!

When this episode drops, I will have just returned from Scotland – As long as they let me leave. I mean, world-class podcaster comes a’visting? Surely I’ll become part of the Monarchy or something.

At any rate, Nate and I are back at it again for your listening pleasure, with some solid talk, some solid tunes, and hopefully for me – some solid bowel movements.

Enjoy!
