Hosts Michael Kadrie and Mark Anthony devote this whole (shortened) episode to Interviewing Jonny Hetherington from Art of Dying. They discuss the origins of the band, what it took to take the band out of Canada and the progression of the music over the years. They even premiere a snippet of their new single "Let's Go" which gets released March 10,2023 (available wherever you stream music).
Michael and Jonny then discuss Jonny Hetherinigton Essentials - his Ketchup/Sauce company in which people can now invest to own a stake in the company. While the rest of the band is on tour with Adam Gontier's new band, Saint Asonia, Art of Dying continue to write and plan on release more music later this year.

S03 E06 - Special Guest: Jonny Hetherington from Art of Dying

Hosts Michael Kadrie and Mark Anthony kick off their 4th Season of Blabber Brains Show discussing the Motley Crue/Mick Mars controversy because... well because it's still out there. They also discuss why people do things they know others will make fun of them for doing, but they do it anyways. Producer/Writer/Actor Keli Price joins in to discuss his life and career including how he got into the movie making business in the first place. How a remarkable story about his Great Grandfather being a speed skater and immigrating to the US gave birth to an idea for a documentary that compelled several other athletes, such as Evander Holyfield, Apolo Ohno, Greg Louganis, Jonny Moseley and others to tell similar stories about their lives as athletes who have struggled for acceptance due to race, religion, sexual orientation, and other prejudices. Keli also shares the interesting and amusing story about how he started writing screenplays that began with his upcoming film Wolf Mountain starring Danny Trejo, Tobin Bell as well as himself. Other discussions include his involvement as producer on the latest Mel Gibson movie Bandit which also stars Josh Duhamel, Elisha Cuthbert and Olivia d'Abo, how he scored Mickey Rourke to star in 3 films, what it was like working with Cary Elwes on The Hyperions. Keli also talks about the project that he's worked on that means to the most to him, reveals the actor he really wants to work with, and discusses other upcoming projects he is working on.

S04 E02 - Special Guest: "The" Joe West

Hosts Michael Kadrie and Mark Anthony talk about the Latern Fly Invasion. They discuss if Generation X is actually the greatest generation and talk about things like technology, ageism, cancerous foods and whether life expectancy will go up or down in the future. To stay topical to this episode's guest, Michael Boasts about Oh Mama beer from Voodoo Brewing Company. And finally, the two talk about the possibility of Jaromir Jagr coming back to the Penguins for one more season. Then it's time to talk to Lawrence Gowan about everything Styx and Canadian.  Topics include hockey (duh), Styx' great connection to Pittsburgh, Lawrence's solo career and Michael strongly tries to persuade Lawrence to have Styx bring back the Giant Medley, to have a "fans only" tour, and to make Radio Silence a staple Styx song in their live sets.

S04 E04 - Halloween Special Featuring Dustin Pari of Ghost Hunters

Hosts Michael Kadrie and Mark Anthony talk about the Steelers firing of Matt Canada and what that means for the team - whether it's good or bad or won't change a thing. A Blabber Boast section has Michael boasting about Lacey Sturm's new album Kenotic Metanoia, and Mark praises Jack Daniels coffee. Mark makes an announcement that he will be playing a Facebook Live show on December 15! Visit the Mark Anthony Solo and Friends Facebook page for more information.
Next, it's our first in-person interview as Michael has a great sit-down conversation with John Cooper of Skillet. In-depth and meaningful conversations about the development of Skillet's sound, heavy Christian Rock, how they chose Jen Ledger at the early age of 17 when she had only been playing drums for a few years, having personal conversations with members of secular bands that they tour with and if any have committed themselves to Christianity as a result, and finally, a quick discussion about John's new book titled Wimpy, Weak and Woke and why the title alone was enough to start a firestorm that John easily navigates.

A very special thanks to Velvet Kelm and Chris Walkowski for making this interview happen and to our good friend Trevor Tyson for planting the seed.
