After another long boring break, Dov returns to share the story of his band’s lengthy journey in choosing a goddamn name. He then ranks his top 5 favorite and least favorite band names, which leads him to discuss Metallica, and more specifically, their self-titled record better known as the Black Album. After setting the scene for the gargantuan 1991 release, he shares its defining musical and lyrical themes, as well as the commercial and critical response to the acclaimed and perhaps controversial album.

A jetlagged Ryan Gilman then returns from his tour in Indonesia to co-host and show off that he apparently learned the word “captivated” in Jakarta. After thirty minutes of relishing in their Metallica standom, Ryan and Dov make their respective tier-list of songs from the Black Album in which they agree to disagree more often than not.
