5 Favorites: 4/20 Songs!

Mon, 20 Apr 2026
Earlier in the run of this podcast, our 4/20 plan synched up to the date, and a new 5 Favorites category was born! Once again, that is happening, so...here we are!

Markus and Ray roll up a ton of favorite flavors and strains of Rock & Roll! (We should be sponsored by Garcia Hand Picked, but hey...) The guys take turns counting down to the 2's and the 1's before a lengthy list of "honorable mentions" in this smokin' 4/20 celebration!

NORML has been a major part of the legalization efforts in the U.S. for a long time! Check them out here!

Happy 4/20 to all!!!

Mon, 13 Apr 2026
When the guy's were "pitched" about a new documentary about the life of Billy Preston, they said "Yes" without hesitation. What they didn't know were the stories inside the story, the heights and depths which this great man, and musician, reached in his far too short life.

All of it is in the documentary film, Billy Preston: That's The Way God Planned It, spearheaded by Paris Barclay.

Talkin' 5150 For Episode 450!

Mon, 06 Apr 2026
When the guys thought about what to do for their 450th episode, a lot of things came to mind. Around the same time, they were interviewing Steve Rosen, who wrote the book Tonechaser, about his friendship with Eddie Van Halen.

The phrase, '5150 for episode 450" just came out in a meeting, and so, here we are! The album was an important one for rockers in the 1980s! One of the truly great Rock bands had just broken ties with its front man, and creative partner... The VH faithful were devastated...

The recent event of April Fool's Day reminded the Imbalanced Boys that DLR's departure notice was given on April 1st... No foolin'!

Markus and Ray discuss the album, the impact in their worlds, and everyone's, and use some of Rosen's story to fill out the story!
