Is drama ruining YouTube? Parody music artist and performer, Chad Wild Clay joins us this week for a raucous debate as I got called out from the callers on my opinions (read: facts) about music festivals, Nirvana's Unplugged garbage album and music in general.

Mikey Bolts, Rucka and I all recount stories of meeting Philly D, and we round out this episode with some idiots trying to give monkeys rights. I'll give them rights when they can learn how to read.
Bonus episode #3 is coming soon, but you can purchase #2 from iTunes, Amazon and our own website:
