In Season 2, Episode 13 Gen X Marks The Spot Podcast welcomes Mike Fitz — founding member and guitarist of a band that had host Gen X Joe saying 'I do' the moment he heard their name and latest single. The band is called Bad Marriage — not only is the band called Bad Marriage, but their brand new single is called Match Made in Hell — and they dropped it on Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day! Something to now, Bad Marriage's second guitarist is none other than Tommy Skeoch from Tesla? Rock royalty. We're getting into all of the above today and a lot more — and because Mike is from the Boston area, we may also have to settle the greatest rivalry in NFL history — Steelers versus Patriots. Here We Go — this is going to be one hell of a relationship with Mike Fitz of Bad Marriage and Gen X Joe.

Our second guest this week on Gen X Marks The Spot Podcast is Ron Albanese, a New Jersey-based musician, children's entertainer, and producer known for creating "Kiddie Rock 'n' Roll!"
