Ready your eardrums for a wild ride through the Sonic Temple Music Festival lineup! In this episode, we transform into musical explorers, diving headfirst into the unknown bands populating the four-day metal extravaganza in Columbus.
Before our musical journey begins, we spend some quality time geeking out over HBO's "Righteous Gemstones," appreciating how perfectly it satirizes money-hungry evangelical empires. The character of Baby Billy (played masterfully by Walton Goggins) steals the spotlight in our conversation as we discuss the show's brilliant balance of dark humor and compelling character development.
Then we strap in for our main adventure – listening to dozens of unfamiliar bands scheduled for Sonic Temple. Our reactions range from enthusiastic head-banging to bewildered confusion as we encounter everything from blistering death metal to unexpected 80s industrial sounds. The format feels delightfully reminiscent of Beavis and Butthead, with unfiltered, immediate reactions to both music and visuals. Highlights include discovering gems like Uncured, Left to Suffer, and Angel Maker – all earning spots on our must-see festival schedule.
A brief intermission features our resident parody artist "Toby Queef" delivering an outrageously inappropriate country song before we continue our musical exploration. The deeper we dive into Friday and Saturday's lineups, the more excited we become about bands like 200 Stab Wounds, Peeling Flesh, and Boundaries – noting how the festival seems strategically organized with harder, more death metal-focused acts appearing later in the weekend.
Whether you're attending Sonic Temple, considering future festival plans, or simply enjoy hearing two friends judge music they've never heard before, this episode delivers equal parts practical insight and genuine laughs. After 171. episodes together, our chemistry creates the perfect backdrop for this musical adventure. Hit play and join us as we separate the metal wheat from the chaff!

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
