Episode 552 – Metal Shoppe 107 – HR Be Damned

Georgia Lunch has made their return, HR regulations or not! We chat about local Winnipeg breweries and sampling their beers. Morgath and the Silmarion come up, as do musings on Jesus from Lord of the Rings, his skills in Kung Fu, and of course, the infamous ring of fire. Promotions for Sean and Tony are celebrated, and the enduring mystery of Kiss playing "Hell" even once is mentioned—plus a nod to Max Headroom’s possible connection.

Our conversation turns to the Air Guitarists Georgia is up against in competition. We also break down just how unscripted this show truly is, and riff on Tony’s infamous Sham Sandwiches, with a side note about restaurants that dare to offer Spam.

Anne Murray and the rules of Canadian Content step into the spotlight as we get a bit highbrow about Alberta versus Manitoba and the Buckeys chain. There’s even a humorous look at The Donald’s latest scheme to nab some beaver tails.

Gloryhammer and Alestorm, pirate metal, Deadly Sinners, theatrical swordplay with Lee Aaron, Rhapsody, and the legendary Christopher Lee all find their way into the discussion.

And yes, we even talk a little about Taylor Swift.
