Mike, Max and Shane discuss personalized Christmas cards, the "Champagne Boys" holiday pub crawl, Shane's wife getting sick and his ensuing conflict with "The Nut," a neighbour's overreaction to a loud house party, Casey Affleck's interview with Marc Maron and their celebrity dopplegängers. Kirk Hammett of Metallica ("Enter Sandman," "Nothing Else Matters") tells Mike about playing clubs, ticket requests for hometown gigs, a new process for demos, how anger manifests, being a news junkie, staying in shape, guitarists he reveres and Napster. For dessert, Shane describes connecting with filmmaker Frank D’Angelo over the phone.
