The Bo-Hosts welcome back the "Wise Swami" of all things Rock and Heavy Metal, musicologist, author, uber-critic, and fellow podcaster, the legendary Martin Popoff! Martin stops by to discuss his latest release, the incredibly gorgeous "Van Halen at 50", where Martin selected what he feels are the 50 most important career milestones in Van Halen's 50th year of formation (2024). It's a must-have for all Van Halen /Sammy Hagar fanatics and the Bo-Hosts discuss Martin's journey writing the book and dig into the reasons he selected the milestones he did- and didn't! Plus, the Bo-Hosts get Martin's thoughts on the upcoming Best of All Worlds Tour, which Sammy solo album deserves"classic" status, and whether Sammy deserves a Solo Artist RRHOF induction! All this and much, much, more!

In this "bite-sized" Bogus episode, the Bo-Hosts got a few minutes with broadcast legend and hard rock musicologist, Eddie Trunk! Eddie provides his thoughts on Vegas residencies vs. Cruise packages, Sammy's enduring appeal & legacy as well as the upcoming TBOAW Summer Tour! Plus, Eddie settles an ongoing argument between the Bo-Hosts as to which Hagar-fronted Van Halen song reigns supreme, provides his thoughts on the possibility of a Sammy Hagar Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Solo Induction and whether he'd support a Chickenfoot Alt-Act fronted by John Mayer!
It's an appetizer of an episode that will definitely fill you up!

Sammy's main man for all things visual design is of course our friend Todd Gallopo!
Todd is of course the founder/owner of Meat and Potatoes, Inc., the LA based Creative Studio behind Sammy's solo albums since 1998, also Chickenfoot, The Circle, not to mention the go-to guy for Santo, Sammy's Beach Bar Rum, and much much more!
So when Sammy decided to team up with the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas and make good on his 2013 Sammy Hagar & Friends tune "All We Need Is An Island", who else could he turn to than Meat and Potatoes to turn yet another tropical dream into an oasis reality?

Join the Bo-Hosts as they deep-dive down the creative rabbit hole into what it takes to physically create Sammy's Island, how Todd helped bring the upcoming Best Of All Worlds Tour graphics to life, his thoughts on Sammy's Hollywood Star ceremony, and what specific shade of crimson the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should get painted when the Red Rocker is Solo Artist inducted! A jam-packed episode to kick off your Summer of Sammy!
