We dig into the deep-cut history of Sabbath's early vocal experiments and the singer most fans have never heard about. • DOOR DINGS ON CARS A rant for the ages. Why can't people park like civilized humans? Why must every beautiful car suffer?

EP 831 – Let There Be Talk Today on Let There Be Talk, I talk about catching the Queens of the Stone Age Catacombs Tour—1 of the best shows I have even seen hands down,  I also get into something pretty interesting that popped up this week: Walter Payton's Porsche is for sale on Bring A Trailer. It's a rare piece of sports and automotive history that I cant wait to see what it ends up selling for. And finally, I touch on the ongoing challenge of fake news—how it spreads, how easy it is to get pulled into it, and why it feels harder than ever to sort out what's real. That's all coming up today on EP 831. Thanks for tuning in.
