Almost Ambiguously

The guys dig into this week’s new releases and debate how AI should—and shouldn’t—be used in the music industry. Randy makes a surprise appearance, and Jason drops a song that completely caught him off guard… along with a secret he’s not entirely sure he’s supposed to share.

This week, a little something different. The guys reflect back on the show's origins with clips from the randomness. A fresh new reminder about the Beartooth ticket giveaway and Jason refuses to share information with the class...again!

The guys open with a bang… sort of.Cory and Jason dig into overlooked horror-movie soundtracks from last week's episode, fresh releases, and those moments when a band takes a hard left into something completely different. Can a true fan forgive (and forget) a band’s brief experiment with artistic diversity—especially if that one-off album is the first thing they ever heard? Jason makes the case for giving his all-time favorite a free pass.

(Because we can’t exactly call it Scary Sh*t… the kids are listening.)No, this is not a Green Day episode.The Rock’dHards dig into some of the heaviest, most unforgettable metal tracks from horror classics—and drop a huge announcement that has absolutely nothing to do with Randy’s monster.Still not curious? Hit play.Stay hard.

Cory & Jason recap what was a crazy week of rock shows! Jason expresses the honest reason he does the podcast. Randy phones in from a surprising location and learns all about what he missed at Breaking Benjamin and President as well as all of the amazing people that were met at the shows. 

Cory and Jason valiantly fill the void (and the empty stool) with the latest metal chaos. After Jason reveals he somehow is somehow unaware of a classic, Cory forces him to confront “the old stuff” like it’s some kind of musical intervention. Randy remains ominously silent—either plotting or just judging—while the two fools dive into the new Wage War album and Dark Divine’s surprisingly metal take on Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon.” Spoiler: hilarity, mild trauma, and zero adult supervision ensue.

The guys talk metal stigma in hopes to finally end the BS. Randy phones in from the road (but from where on the road is the real question) and Cory can't keep his charities in order. The President contest winner is announced and more.

The guys discuss AGT results (much to Jason's dismay), some low key sleeper releases and Randy sets his sights on a truth seeking adventure of a lifetime.

The guys break down one of the biggest collaborations of the year, unveil one of their favorite comedians, and dive into this week’s latest releases—while Cory continues aging at an alarming rate.

Randy figures out just how it is that Jason's never wrong. Cory keeps "touching" things all while discussing this week's new releases from President and Slipknot.
