In this exciting episode the Bo-Hosts go international and practice their Australian accents by welcoming special guest, Brett Carroll! Redheads know Brett as a longtime card-carrying Redhead and the passionate and inspi(RED) administrator of the Sammy Hagar RED Facebook Group, which is soon celebrating its TENTH year!

As 5150 celebrates it's 39th anniversary, the boys discuss the EPIC album's impact, and Brett explains his spiritually-enlightening trip to Cabo Wabo to finally experience Sammy at his annual Birthday Bash and reveals what song literally brought him to tears!

Plus, Brett endures Bo-Host Darin's "RedRocker Rapid-Fire" quiz where he must make some TOUGH decisions on Sammy's best songs, Van Halen's best albums, and which Frankenstrat paint job was Eddie's greatest guitar!

Where DOES the time time go?! Chickenfoot's incredible 2009 debut album turns sweet 16 this year!! This means in 2025 it too can now complain about driving 55 MPH and decide on Turnin' Left whenever it so chooses!!

In this celebration of the supergroup's EPIC debut album, the Bo-Hosts reminisce on that era in Sammy's life & career, and provide an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the making of the official animated music video for "Get It Up"! As some of you may already know, Bo-Host Darin conceived, produced and directed the video for the band alongside Sammy's lifelong friend and 2-time manager, the man everyone called "Carter". Darin shares making-of stories, a never before heard alternate-edit of "Get It Up", original production art, and reveals for the first time anywhere, concept artwork/tests that was supposed to be used for the sequel video, "Bigfoot", which unfortunately never came to pass due to the untimely passing of Carter. Plus, Darin also shares a some very interesting tidbits on other possible supergroups that Sammy could have participated in way back then!

Sit, back, crack open your favorite Sammy-libation of choice and crank it up!

Be sure to check out our official YouTube channel - and our official Facebook page - for the companion video in order to view the artwork and render tests in all their glory!

Whoa! 2025 is off to a great start for Redheads as Friday Jan. 31st we got the surprise new track "Fortune Teller Blues, featuring Sammy and blues wunderkind, Joe Bonamassa. But what IS this tune?!? Where did it come from?!? It sounds a bit like...Deep RED...or is it...RED Country Communion!?!

In this impromptu reaction/review the Bo-Hosts speculate on the origins of this truly epic, and very inspiRED, tune and try to piece together the tangled timelines of how - and why - we got this surprise track right now..without any, ahem, fair warning??!

( Not that we're complaining, and we'll gladly take more of it Sam! )

"BALANCE" turns 30 today!! Wow, where did 3 decades go?!?
In this bittersweet episode the Bo-Hosts wax nostalgic on this most epic of albums and look back on what was a turbulent era for their favorite version of the band. The Bo-Hosts also discuss Balance's place in landscape of Rock N Roll circa 1995, the interesting origins of certain tracks, Eddie's personal challenges, his gear & evolving tone, and we also hear from friends & listeners on what the album means to them.

Sadly, Balance was Van Halen's final, full-length studio album with Sammy, and as we would soon learn, the cracks that are now easily visible were about to break wide open, setting the stage for, as friend of the show, Martin Popoff, calls "Van Halen's Dark Ages". As the saying goes, "Hindsight's always 5150!"

Enjoy, and today, be sure to spin "Balance" at full volume in salute to this monster disc!

Here we are again in that kinda awkward stretch between Christmas and New Years. All the presents have been unwrapped, all the yuletide tidings have been exchanged and the family gatherings are getting fewer and farther between.

Well fear not as your intrepid Bo-Hosts have gotcha covered! As the snow falls and the temperatures drop, the Bo-Hosts crank up the heat with a special "Bonus" Otis Mini-Episode recorded face down in Cabo!

In this episode, a vacationing Bo-host Brent again met up with Cabo Wabo Cantina co-founder, manager, and friend of the show, the alway awesome Jorge Viana! Jorge is always a fun hang and has much to say, so kick up your new slippers, slide on your new housecoat and whip up a fresh Waborita for a bonus episode so hot you'll need to apply sunscreen liberally!

Thanks again to all our listeners and our guests for your continued support!
2024 was truly EPIC and we wish everyone an incredible 2025!

HNY from the Bo-hosts!
