Scott and Chris welcome back some familiar faces, meet a new friend, and get nuts while discussing ALIVE II by Kiss.
-
#26 - VINNIE VINCENT INVASION
Scott and Chris reunite after an unexpected break and things get weird. Mostly because they forced themselves through guitar solo after guitar solo from the Vinnie Vincent Invasion. Nothing makes sense anymore.
-
#25 - ***hole
Scott and Chris get loose and discuss Gene Simmons ***hole
-
#24 - MUSIC FROM "THE ELDER"
Scott and Chris enter the Kiss Club via Mr. X! This is the strangest journey the boyos might ever take and it is so fun. Music from “The Elder” is only the beginning in how silly things get. Animalize This.
-
#23 KISS UNPLUGGED (1995)
Scott and Chris throw caution to the wind, avoid research, and watch 1995’s KISS Unplugged. Oh, MTV, were we ever so... young?
-
#22 PAUL STANLEY (1978)
Scott and Chris share stories about trashing hotel rooms, festival follies, and the joy of new music. Oh, and they eventually discuss the 1978 Paul Stanley solo album. Wouldn’t you like to know this?
-
#21 - ASYLUM
Scott and Chris talk Game of Thrones, the concept of celebrity, and argue and bicker like always. They try to then get into Asylum, the 1985 record by Kiss. It’s not pretty, folks.
-
#20 - ROCK AND ROLL OVER
Scott and Chris drop the gloves while drifting blissfully back into a world featuring what some might describe as decent music. KISS’ 1976 record Rock and Roll Over is on the docket, Peter Chris Cook is on the loose, and Scott is a distracted scamp. Hilarity ensues!
-
#19 - MONSTER
Scott and Chris drive through the polar vortex to talk documentaries, The Oscars, and the Manson Family murders. Things get even worse when they reluctantly delve into the 2012 KISS album Monster. How bad could it be?
-
#18 - KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK
Scott and Chris reel through the fallout of The Big Game and are somehow mostly healthy. They then will themselves to summarize what happens in the made-for-TV movie Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park. Cat puns, lasers, talismans, inappropriate leering, 70s funk, androids, and an underground lair...
-
#17 - ALIVE!
Scott and Chris detail their latest injuries and woes before discussing 1975’s landmark record KISS ALIVE! Is it live or is it Memorex? The boys are on the case and looking for answers.
-
#16 - CRAZY NIGHTS
Scott and Chris trudge through KISS’ 1987 magnum opus Crazy Nights, wondering how it is that throughout the making of the record they weren’t on cocaine. As in, all the cocaine. Was it all a dream? An 80s-skewed nightmare? They’re still not sure.
-
#15 PETER CRISS (1978)
Scott and Chris bundle up and come together for a very special New Year’s edition of the show. They recount their holiday seasons and talk hockey before delving into Peter Criss’ little loved 1978 solo album. Chris goes rogue, Scott is enraged—what could go wrong?
-
#14 GENE SIMMONS (1978)
The boys are back! In sickness and in health, Scott and Chris are together again. They play serious catch-up before settling in to discuss the first of seemingly endless solo albums by the members of KISS. It’s upsetting and no one is spared.
-
#13 THE UNRELEASED PAUL STANLEY FOLGERS COMMERCIAL
Scott and Chris look back on the inelegant history of the show while bonding over their shared fear of public urination. Somehow they have the nerve to laugh and laugh at Paul Stanley’s unreleased Folger’s coffee commercial.
-
#12 DRESSED TO KILL
Scott and Chris examine winter in the summer, bachelor parties, and health care for all. They eventually fixate their attention on the 1975 KISS album Dressed to Kill.
-
#11 KISS EXPOSED
Scott and Chris go to the movies! They discuss! They talk shit! They devour granola, bran flakes, bananas, grapes, melons, and root beer for your pleasure! Hope you’re happy.
-
#10 ANIMALIZE
Scott and Chris giggle about fumbling words, muse on beer gardens, and ruminate on more injuries. And then there’s Animalize. The boys go way deep into this piece of work and the home video Animalize Live Uncensored.

#7 PSYCHO CIRCUS
Scott and Chris discuss the Hulk Hogan sex tape, jaywalking tickets, and the music of 1998. They welcome in Jon Bontje of Amateur Maps to try to figure out the mess that is Psycho Circus. Why did they reunite with Ace and Peter when they barely play on the record? Are Ace and Peter better off?…

#6 LOVE GUN
Scott and Chris catch up before welcoming in their first guest and ridiculous friend, Stephen Kievit. The boys reminisce about their first meetings, musical preferences, and Master Blaster. They eventually get way too deep into the 1977 album Love Gun by KISS.

Scott and Chris discuss the dangers of hot coffee, annoying concert attendees, and the difference between grease paint and glam makeup. They eventually go deep into the 1983 KISS album Lick it Up, warts and all. Be sure to watch the video to “All Hell’s Breaking Loose” for the full experience of...
