Ready your eardrums for a wild ride through the Sonic Temple Music Festival lineup! In this episode, we transform into musical explorers, diving headfirst into the unknown bands populating the four-day metal extravaganza in Columbus.

Before our musical journey begins, we spend some quality time geeking out over HBO's "Righteous Gemstones," appreciating how perfectly it satirizes money-hungry evangelical empires. The character of Baby Billy (played masterfully by Walton Goggins) steals the spotlight in our conversation as we discuss the show's brilliant balance of dark humor and compelling character development.

Then we strap in for our main adventure – listening to dozens of unfamiliar bands scheduled for Sonic Temple. Our reactions range from enthusiastic head-banging to bewildered confusion as we encounter everything from blistering death metal to unexpected 80s industrial sounds. The format feels delightfully reminiscent of Beavis and Butthead, with unfiltered, immediate reactions to both music and visuals. Highlights include discovering gems like Uncured, Left to Suffer, and Angel Maker – all earning spots on our must-see festival schedule.

A brief intermission features our resident parody artist "Toby Queef" delivering an outrageously inappropriate country song before we continue our musical exploration. The deeper we dive into Friday and Saturday's lineups, the more excited we become about bands like 200 Stab Wounds, Peeling Flesh, and Boundaries – noting how the festival seems strategically organized with harder, more death metal-focused acts appearing later in the weekend.

Whether you're attending Sonic Temple, considering future festival plans, or simply enjoy hearing two friends judge music they've never heard before, this episode delivers equal parts practical insight and genuine laughs. After 171. episodes together, our chemistry creates the perfect backdrop for this musical adventure. Hit play and join us as we separate the metal wheat from the chaff!

Remember when you and your friends would spend hours debating the best Disney movies before cranking up some heavy metal? That's exactly the vibe we deliver in this latest episode of It's Everyday with John and Jay.

We kick things off with an epic Disney discussion, ranking our top five animated classics. Robin Hood claims Jay's number one spot, while John champions Aladdin. The conversation flows through beloved characters, iconic scenes, and the magic that makes these films timeless. We discover surprising common ground in our love for A Goofy Movie and debate the merits of Beauty and the Beast versus Pinocchio.

The nostalgia continues as we shift to live-action Disney films. John reveals his deep appreciation for Mary Poppins—"the greatest blend of Disney"—while Jay surprises with his unexpected love for Cool Runnings and Heavyweights. Our journey through Disney's vast catalog unearths forgotten gems like The Shaggy Dog and Pete's Dragon, sparking memories that will transport you back to childhood movie nights.

Just when you think we're all Disney all day, we pivot to showcase some seriously heavy new music. From the haunting vocals of Illicit Thoughts to the aggressive assault of Filth's "Stay Gutter," we explore the cutting edge of metal across various subgenres. Our enthusiasm peaks when discussing Wage War's "Tombstone" with its Pantera-inspired outro riff that has us both geeking out over guitar tones and breakdowns.

Whether you're here for the Disney nostalgia, the metal discoveries, or just our authentic friendship, this episode delivers something for everyone. And don't forget to subscribe—we've got exciting updates coming about our collaboration with Skiddles on his upcoming album!

Dive into the hilarious, unfiltered world of John and Jay as they tackle everything from post-Easter reflections to passionate metal music discoveries in this episode that feels like hanging out with your most entertaining friends.

The conversation kicks off with lighthearted "Zombie Jesus Day" greetings before evolving into what might be the most comprehensive candy debate you'll ever hear. From the mysterious cold interior of Ferrero Rochers to the eternal struggle between Snickers and Butterfingers, the hosts dissect their childhood favorites with surprising detail and enthusiasm. Their pronunciation debate over "caramel" versus "carmel" perfectly captures the show's ability to find humor in the everyday.

Things take a scathing turn when the hosts review a new Mexican restaurant committing cardinal dining sins—paper plates, no complimentary chips, and overpriced canned sodas instead of fountain drinks. This critique stands in stark contrast to their praise for exceptional establishments like a local deli offering rare free orange juice refills and a solid burger joint experience at Kalahari resort.

The episode's heart truly emerges during an extensive metal music exploration segment where John and Jay discover bands like Wage War and Gideon with genuine excitement that's contagious even to casual listeners. Their descriptions of "chunky riffage" and concert experiences reveal their authentic passion for music discovery.

Between these main discussions, unexpected moments keep things interesting—from the outrageous "Gabagool Gals" Brooklyn character segment to Tim's surprise appearance during a bathroom break. The episode wraps with touching gratitude for their listeners, especially those supporting Jay's game store venture.
