Another low key show tonight as we close in on our big 100th episode blow out. More details to follow on that one. Tonight we're just crushing cans and roasting the week in music news. Stories include the elaborate hoax of Threatin', own a piece of Dead's head, the best band break up ever, fans having sex at a Machine Head concert, some metal Christmas music, and more. Our WTF Band for tonight is an obscure '70s era gem for the diehard kazzo fans out there. We close it out with a do not miss round of Fake or Real.

Just Jim and Ryan in the studio tonight, keeping things low key while we gear up for our 100th episode and nurse the hangover from ep.#97 w/ Starkill. Tonight we're drinking cheap beer and ripping the week in music news. On the docket for evening is Iron Maiden telling the Rock Hall of Fame to piss off, new line of beer from Opeth, an actual scientific study on people who listen to death metal, the new Slipknot single, the story behind Pearl Jam's "Jeremy", Maroon 5 is picked for the Super Bowl halftime show, the Ja Rule/50 Cent beef continues and more. A new WTF Band with a bit of a political slant, if you will and we close it out with a round of White Boy Theater.

Outro

We've been trying for months and we finally convinced STARKILL to join us in the lab for a night of debauchery!! Parker, Tony, Shaun, and Sarah stopped by for some Q&A, lots of drinking, and some Halloween themed games. We covered everything from the asshatery of sound scans to the new album to Parker's high school ska band and how each member made their way into the band. Well, there's a lot of stuff in between so don't miss a second of what the reviews are already calling the most talked about podcast of 2018. Not sure if that's true but we're going with it.

We treated the band to some Halloween trivia and a round of FAKE OR REAL: The Horror Movie Edition and feature some music off their the upcoming album. The 2 Assholes want to thank everyone, including friend of the show, producer Matt Nitz, for stopping by and spending some time with us and letting us make everyone uncomfortable for a few hours. Keep an eye out for the new STARKILL album and in the meantime go out and celebrate their back catalogue because it will blow your socks off. Oh and we can't forget about Spencer, aka Spen-Goolie. He wasn't able to make the show but he was with us in spirit. Cheers and enjoy the show!!!

We're celebrating our 7th birthday tonight with some great local brew from Scorched Earth and ripping the week in music news!! We'll be off the next couple of weeks so we decided to just keep it simple. Lots to cover this week like the death of Aretha Franklin, elderly men escaping to Walken Open Air Festival, Rihanna being named Most Influencial Artist of the 21st century, Roger Daltry on the state of rap, Conan nixes musical guests, and more! We feature some music from our friends in Thy Antichrist, play White Boy Theater, and close it out with Jim on the turntables laying it down. We finally got on Instagram and Spotify so check that out too. Cheers!!

Tonight we'red joined by local heavy hitters Wings Of Severance ahead of their headlining show at KC's Cabin. We've been wanting to get these guys on the show for sometime and it was worth the wait. We had a blast with the boys drinking cheap beer, talking shop, and they even agreed to a round of Guess That Video. They weren't half bad either. We also feature some music from their latest release, Welcome to the Afterlife. Make sure you pick up a copy of the album on iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, and Google Play and grab some gear over at wingsofseverance.com
We want to thank all the guys again for hanging out and putting up with our shit for a few hours and helping us drink all the beer. From what I remember it was a great time!!

We all sat down and had a few beers and talked about the new Elephant Gun album, Eat The House, available now on all streaming services, played some tunes, and promoted the upcoming show at Catapult Records. We asked some dumb questions in between and even snuck in Guess That Video before we closed it all out. Big shout out to our local beer for the night, 2 Brothers, out of Warrenville, IL. and the rest of the crew from Elephant Gun that couldn't make it out.

We had a whole show planned out for tonight but it all kinda got shot to hell. Instead of cracking some beers and roasting the week in music news we deiced to flip the script a bit and crack some beers and rant about a few things that have been bugging us. Mainly, the positives and negatives of social media, people attacking the kids from the school shooting in Parkland, FL and a few other random things. We had a great WTF Band lined up tonight and everything but since things jumped the rails a little bit the majority of the show is us getting drunk and ranting. It's not as bad as it sounds. Or is it?

However, we did manage to wrangle things at the end and pull out a game of TWEET or TWIT and feature a great band, KNOWER. Typically, we've been featuring local music but since we distracted ourselves we changed gears for the evening. We promise that we have lots of great local music scheduled for upcoming shows. Our background music for the evening is a cut off the Chill-hop Essentials Spring 2018 compilation titled, "Otesla". Plus, a shout out to our local brew for the night Tight Head out Mundelin, IL. Very tasty and strong ales that helped fuel our rants for the night.

We're back in the studio tonight after our backstage interview with members of Thy Antichrist after their sold out Chicago show the other weekend. Per usual, the beers are flowing, courtesy of local brewery Scorched Earth, and the music news is ready to be shredded. This week on we got Tommy Lee Twitter beefing with his son, Jeffery Nothing leaves Mushroomhead, the Fyre Festival founder goes down in flames, Migos being sued by their own fans, the underground rave scene in London is back, Liam Gallagher still sucks, the Justin Bieber bomber is sentenced, Fergie's rendition of the National Anthem strikes all the wrong chords, Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard and his new band, and more. We dig into our bag of tricks for another WTF Band and this time is comes to us from the Porno Grind genre. Yes, it sounds like you'd expect. Another round of Fake or Real featuring bands from the last ever VANS Warped Tour. We close out the show with some killer local music from Meat Wave who recently kicked off their spring tour in Chicago this past weekend. Seriously, if you don't know about this band get on top of that. Big thanks to our local beer tonight, Hickster, from Algonquin, IL's very own Scorched Earth Brewing and our sponsor relobase.com. Things get a little, well, drunk I think would be the best way to describe but I know you've come to expect that at this point. Play it loud and proud, it's another episode of 2 Assholes Talking Music!!!

We were able to catch up w/ founder and frontman of Thy Antichrist, Andres"Thy Antichrist 666" Vargas, after their set @ Reggie's in Chicago March 4th. We were a bit unprepared as it all started as just chatting then Andres agreeing to a short interview. It was freezing cold outside and don't mind the El train and the Dark Funeral set in the background. Big thanks again to Andres for talking with us for a few minutes. Also, thank you to Scott "The Wicked One" Eames and Robert "Abyssus" Coronado for talking with us in the noisy ass stairwell. Sorry about the audio quality, jazz night was rippin' next door. You can see that interview on the 2 Assholes Talking Music facebook page and video of Andres' interview is available on YouTube. Cuernos Arriba!!!!!

We'll be taking a break for a few weeks so we wanted to fire off a show before we come back with more guests and general asshatery. 
Lots of stuff to cover tonight like Slayer announcing their retirement, Marilyn Manson's drum tech (Jim's friend) getting arrested before a recent show, "Metal" being added to the dictionary, the new Tool album or lack thereof, Wes Scantlin enters rehab, the weird world of animals covering metal songs, the Super Bowl halftime show, and we close it out with the Jack in the Box Snoop Dog stoner meal. Yes, that's a real thing. We'd also like to apologize to the estate of Tom Petty. You'll see what I mean.
Our game for tonight is TWEET OR TWIT since we haven't busted that one out in awhile. We close out the show with some incredible music from local Chicago legends, HOOD SMOKE!!
