Enquiring minds want to know...what do you get when you take the "Happiest Accident on the Album" (The Great Gig in the Sky) and mash it up with stories about Roger Waters' dead "friends"?? You get The Great Gig in the Sky Redux, the fifth mortally questionable track from Roger Waters' Dark Side of the Moon Redux...

We're in middle-row purgatory, wedged between 4 songs that left us scratching our heads, and 5 more we're scared to ask to move so we can get up and use the lav. Why are the new versions always longer??

Chaz & Wolfie take a different listening approach on this one, given the absolute perfection and magnificence of the original track. Is it a better listening experience - who the fuk knows?? We're just glad we made it through another one without major gastrointestinal incident. It was close...butt we made it.

Grab your banana and kick back for another ear-lashing, as we're joined by the late, great, Eddie "Phat Fingers" Perez, for a very Ouiga edition of Regarding Roger. Even from the Upside Down, they ask, why Roger, why? Mas Cervesa!!

🎸As always, Chaz & Wolfie are on the case digging into the what of this why...wtf?? Always offering their unique, boneless insights, as only they can. And you know, the Regarding...Series of mini-podcasts is not political, not correct, and you're lucky we use spell-check. When facts don't matter and feuds matter less, we go into what we know and what we can google about each song from Dark Side of the Moon, then and redux, one track at a time, in a compare and contrast format. Each show we'll listen to the original, and how he butchered it with his new version. Er...we mean, the new additive interpretation work by Mr. Waters...no bias here. 

🌟 Subscribe now and dive headfirst into the enigmatic world of "Dark Side of the Moon Redux" with Chaz & Wolfie! #RegardingRoger 🌟

The Show

Three guys who are various stages of Def Leppard fans, and a guy who's just heard the hits (maybe...some of them.) Join the guys over a plate of Buffalo Chicken Wings as they give Def Leppard's 1996 album Slang an honest listen and try to figure out just what the hell "Slang" means anyways. Is it too late for love or can we work it out to find a way to get Slang the love and affection it deserves? Listen as we listen so you don't have to, and discover for yourself. Proudly sponsored by podcastle.ai and fourstringmedia, not by Romney's Everest Kendal Mints or Buffalo Chicken Wings in general. Do you like Def Leppard? We like Def Leppard. Yep.
