In their conversation, Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover looked back at their career, which started in the late '80s in Seattle. They discussed knowing Kurt Cobain, the current state of rock music, the influence of the Rolling Stones and Charlie Watts on them and a lot more. They also sat down for an acoustic performance, which you can hear at the end of the episode.

In the last episode, Lipps caught up with Alice in Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell. In their conversation, Lipps and Cantrell discussed Cantrell's new music, along with how Chris Cornell’s daughter, Lily Cornell Silver, brought him to tears, his relationship with Eddie Van Halen, how Alice in Chains formed, and much more about his new solo album, Brighten, which was released on October 29.
