First show in a couple of weeks so it feels good to be back in the lab with a cold beer in our hands. We took a break from the mics to bring you our annual Halloween special and it's our first show back after featuring some live music in the studio. We start things off with Jason Aldean dressing in black face for Halloween the we cover Justin Bieber's temper tantrum on stage in Norway, Randy Blythe(Lamb of God) getting jumped in Ireland, John Lennon's million dollar guitar sells at auction, Irish boy bands being used as a torture device, and Chester Bennington leaving STP. We take a quick break to discuss the Paris terrorist attacks being that they happened hours before we turned on the mics. At the time we were just finding out that the Eagles of Death Metal show was attacked. From there we finish up the rest of the news with the night club fire in Romania the killed 40+ including band members, an update on the health of Bad Brain's Dr. Know, Questlove getting snubbed by Finding Nemo, and close it out with Skrillex v/s DeadMau5 on Twitter.

After the news it's more WTF Bands featuring Finland's premier dinosaur themed metal band, Hevisaurus. A group of dinosaurs that plays children themed heavy metal. It's awesome! For our game tonight it's White Boy Theater. Jim reads gangster rap lyrics in his whitest voice, his normal voice and Ryan has to guess the rapper. Grab a beer and join us for some pirate radio!! 

It's our favorite time of the year, Halloween!!! Staying with tradition we've put together another mix that continues the story of the Phantom Killer. If you remember from last year the original Phantom Killer was eventually caught and jailed for his heinous deeds. This year it seems he's spawned a copycat killer and he's wreaking havoc wherever he goes. The Copycat Killer is ruthless in his pursuit for blood and he'll stop at nothing to find his next victim. He could be your co-worker, maybe a neighbor. Maybe he's in your house right now. The Copycat Killer is driven by rage, a rage that runs so deep it can only be quenched with brutality. 

Turn off the lights and join us for another installment of Halloween Gravy!!

Tonight we're celebrating our 50th episode with some in studio guests, The Stone Rolling Devils!!! We figured that since this is kind of a landmark episode we'd have a little fun and invite some friends over to drink beer and jam out in the lab. The Stone Rolling Devils are an incredible blues band from the Chicago land area and have been trucking along now for many years. Despite a few line-up changes their sound is better than ever thanks to architect in charge Gary Smith. If you're ever in the city or around the suburbs of Chicago and these dudes are playing I highly recommend you saddle up to the bar and enjoy the show. We start the night off with a little jam sessions then get into talking shop, finding out what the guys are listening to, and close out the show with a group session of Guess That Video. It was an absolute treat to have these guys over and something tells me this won't be the last time we have these guys in the studio. Grab a drank and give the volume a crank it's the 50th episode of 2 Assholes Talking Music w/ The Stone Rolling Devils!!!!

The Stone Rolling Devils are:

Gary Smith - vox & harmonica

Brandon Castino - guitar

Chris Angelos -  guitar

The Secret Stash is always dedicated to undgerground sounds and there's a lot of noise coming from over in jolly ol' England. Grab a pint or 5 and spin the dial till you land on OI!!
