“You were all pro-bass during the Biden years…”
The year is 1992, a time when a gallon of gas cost just over $1 a gallon, compact discs outsold cassettes in the U.S., progressive metal masters Dream Theater released their highly anticipated 2nd album, Images & Words, and Ross Perot ran as an Independent, third party candidate for President, receiving the largest number of votes of any 3rd party candidate in the 20th century (much to the chagrin of Bill Clinton and George Bush).
1992 also marked the time of Johnny Carson’s retirement from The Tonight Show after a 30-year run, the release of Quentin Tarantino’s debut film, Reservoir Dogs, the ratification of the 27th amendment a mere 203 years after its initial proposal, and oh yeah, 1992 was when we all saw Sharon Stone’s glorious “downstairs” on the big screen in Basic Instinct.
Prepare yourself for the most “thick and full” compilation of on-mic burps ever to appear on any podcast anywhere in the history of podcasting (including this one). Understand the primary difference between “a leftist and a liberal” and get ready to “grow your nails out and play with your hair” as we find out what causes “high blood pressure (down there)”.
Discover the source of funding for every internet troll’s “childhood Christmases” and understand why “stairways, back alleys, and coat hangers” are still hella relevant in 2024.
It’s time to go fix yourself an “egg salad, deviled ham, & pimento cheese” sandwich, promptly throw it in the trash (where the “garbage” lives), and prepare to “make America METAL again” with some “show-off metal” and “really talented hair metal” when you JOIN US for a trip back in time to THE YEAR OF OUR RIFF LORD: 1992.
