Takeaways from tonight's episode: First a note: due to working late, I was unable to watch the "Wet fart in church" episode until later in the week last time; hence if you were looking for takeaways, I didn't post them...but I'm back today 1. Ryan, Rob, Steve, Karen, Butch, Craig, Bryce and 52 minutes into the show we get Ralph in the house tonight... 2. "Tingles" 3. Ryan spent Easter at a Satan concert... 4. Butch scored points with his high school English teacher with Rime of The Ancient Mariner... 5. "I'm going to go with Pete and Karen's favorite band...W.A.S.P" 6. "...my favorite band from Yonkers..." 7. "You don't speak Czechoslovakian?" 8. A guitarist named Necrocock. (A quick Google check reveals his name is apparently Tom or Tomas Necrocock) 9. "I know a lot of douchey people like The Sword." 10. Karen: "What happened to Keeler?" Rob: "He melted into the posters" 11. Rob: What's wrong with me?" Karen: "Lot's. More than we can get into on this show" 12. "Maybe it was the last song on the 8-Track" 13. "Enough said, Bitches" 14. "I thought it was 9pm" 15. A song called "Soft Mouth Vagina" 16. "And you said I'd have no competition for Necrocock" 17. "Sounds like if Motorhead was really, really into Satan. That's all I'm gonna say" 18. Butch to Steve: " Are you sure that's the last song" 19. "There's a god in my soup" 20. Shit busters and shit demons.... 21. Steve: "So the albums all about poop" Ralph: "Pretty much" 22. We have an appearance from Ryan's dog at 1 hour 14 minutes and 42 seconds of the show...

Great episode everyone! Nothing like the Hudson Valley Squares to brighten up my day! My five picks are: 1) "The Show Must Go On" from Queen's 'Innuendo' (1991) 2) "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" from AC/DC's 'Back in Black' (1980) 3) "The Outlaw Torn" from Metallica's 'Load' (1996) 4) "Alexander the Great" from Iron Maiden's 'Somewhere in Time' (1986) 5) "The Writ" from Black Sabbath's 'Sabotage' (1975)

54:19 thanks a lot, Count Ralfus, for mentioning Treponem pal, they were great.

That's awesome Butch my chemistry teacher Mr. Winterburn in high school was really into classical music and I lent him the first two Yngwie records to him and he really dug them. A very cool feeling as he was a great teacher. Bless you Sir!

My favorites: 5. Strike Of The Beast (Exodus) 4. Solitude (Overkill) 3. Only The Good Die Young (Iron Maiden) 2. Raining Blood (Slayer) 1. Damage Inc (Metallica)

Gotta agree with Bryce that "Ashes in your mouth" is the best song of Countdown album. Amazing tune! ✊
