Our 1st Pod-iversary!

In this special milestone episode, Chris & Craig take a look back at the podcast's wildest moments, biggest rockstar guests, and viral stories that helped them hit over 13 million views on Instagram in their first year.

Craig and Chris get incredibly vulnerable as they discuss going through devastating breakups at the exact same time, dealing with panic attacks, navigating deep-rooted commitment issues stemming from their youth, and the importance of therapy and staying strong through hard times.

The duo also revisits their biggest true-crime and rock investigations, including the terrifying video sent to them by an Ace Frehley stalker trespassing on his property, and the shocking court case involving legendary rock photographer Ross Halfin and Broken Hope guitarist Jeremy Wagner. Plus, they revisit the hilarious viral clip of a hardcore singer talking about his awful teenage job at a horse insemination plant!

Listen in for epic behind-the-scenes stories, like Slayer's Kerry King showing up unannounced to surprise them in the studio, and how Chris Kael fell under the charm of Bret Michaels to become his new "BFF" at a festival. They also reflect on their massive tribute episodes to the late Ozzy Osbourne, featuring exclusive, never-before-heard stories from comedian Pete Lee, and bassist Rudy Sarzo, who opens up about his deep regrets following the tragic death of Randy Rhoads.

Finally, Craig re-lives the infamous "Hey Billy" story —his awkward, failed attempt at sneaking backstage to steal catering water and befriending Billy Joel, which makes Chris laugh so hard his hat flies off!
