L Is For Led Zeppelin
*Originally released November 21st 2015*
Steve and Doug are joined once again by Their Friend Travis to discuss the rock legends, Led Zeppelin. They groan at the notion that "Stairway To Heaven" is the only good Zeppelin track, ponder the genesis of metal, and even sidetrack to Gilligan's Island.

37:50 - Whoops! Steve meant to say Atticus Ross. Atticus Finch is the lawyer from "To Kill A Mockingbird"...although his inclusion would certainly make for an interesting song
1:02:21 - Is Steve crazy? Or do you think that "Kashmir" and "Wake Up" sound very alike?
