Can Season 4 get any BIGGER? After an epic run of special guests, including the CEO of ROCK N' ROLL himself, the Bo-Hosts welcome back Sammy's longtime friend, percussionist and drummer David "Bro" Lauser for a discussion that tries it's very best to stay focused on the 40th Anniversary of 1984's "VOA"! As the classic Geffen-era album and it's mega-single "I Can't Drive 55" both celebrate the quadruple- decade milestone, Bro discusses the record's development, the recording process, and all his iconic drum fills that open the Sammy tunes we all know and love!! Even though "VOA" was the intended topic of discussion, the Bo-Hosts "go with the Bro" and follow Lauser's meanderings down all avenues of his history with Sammy, the Geffen era demos, his latest creative endeavors and beyond! So, put one foot on the brake and one on the gas and raise the checkered flag for Bro's RED recollections!

In this most EPIC of episodes, the Bo-Hosts sit down with fellow Redheads Chris Heathcoat and Greg Dulberg! These gents are not only longtime friends of the show and a great hang, they are also some of the main men helping keep the RED flame eternally burning for RedRocker Riders; Sammy's incREDibly rare, highly sought after and heavily customized RED & blacked-out mountain bike!

Produced in VERY limited quantities from 1988-1992, the RedRocker mountain bike was the result of Sammy's passion for riding and was a bad motor scooter there at the dawn of the now globally-recognized sport. So fill your water bottles (with a Sammy libation of choice), oil your derailers, and check out the amazing history of another cool - and very collectible- item from Sammy's illustrious- and adventurous- career!

It doesn't get any bigger than this folks! In an episode of EPIC proportions, our intrepid Bo-Hosts were invited backstage at the BOAW Toronto stop to speak to the MAIN MAN himself!

Yes, you read that right: it's the INTERVIEW SEQUEL to THE FILLMORE!

On the only Canadian tour date, Sammy was even more generous with his
pre-show time and hung with the Bo-Hosts at length to talk about the tour, the setlist, and how this current line-up came to be! Aside from flipping the tables to instead interview the Bo-Hosts, Sammy also provides a scoop on his future musical plans, and there's even a discussion on the next VH re-release!!

All this, PLUS the Bo-Hosts compiled reactions, photos and concert footage from fellow fans, friends and listeners! It's an episode SO BIG, you're gonna need 2 sets of ears!

Summer Nights just got hotter as Sammy, Mike, Joe and Jason kick off the highly anticipated 2024 The Best Of All Worlds Tour! For the sake of getting this out there ASAP, the Bo-Hosts forego the usual tweaks & fine-tune edits and unleash this episode "LIVE without a net" as they discuss the 1st two Florida shows and invite friend & fellow fan, Tim MacDonald, to provide his reactions. Tim's a longtime Sammy fan and card-carrying St.Louis Redhead who was at both Florida Shows!

SPOILER ALERT- Please note we do get into setlists, songs, individual band performances and the onstage visuals...so you've been warned! For those who DO want a taste of what's to come, CRANK IT UP as Judgement Day is finally HERE!

As we inch closer to the Best of All Worlds Tour 2024, speculation is rampant on just which Sammy-era Van Halen songs will make cut. In this episode, the Bo-Hosts step thru every Hagar-fronted release to build what they feel would be the ultimate setlist. The megahits? The B sides? Deeper cuts? Or songs never played live ever- and/or in their entirety? It's a hang and a half, so grab some cold Red Rocker Lagers as the Bo-Hosts try to lobby which tunes will make the tour!

What tunes do YOU want to hear on tour? Drop us a line @ bogusotisshow@gmail.com and tell what city (or cities) you're hitting up, which tunes and why, or post titles on our Facebook & Instagram pages! We want to hear from you!
(Also, stick around to the very end for a Mikey outtake and some tone explorations on a new Wolfie WG Standard! )

The Bo-Hosts welcome back the "Wise Swami" of all things Rock and Heavy Metal, musicologist, author, uber-critic, and fellow podcaster, the legendary Martin Popoff! Martin stops by to discuss his latest release, the incredibly gorgeous "Van Halen at 50", where Martin selected what he feels are the 50 most important career milestones in Van Halen's 50th year of formation (2024). It's a must-have for all Van Halen /Sammy Hagar fanatics and the Bo-Hosts discuss Martin's journey writing the book and dig into the reasons he selected the milestones he did- and didn't! Plus, the Bo-Hosts get Martin's thoughts on the upcoming Best of All Worlds Tour, which Sammy solo album deserves"classic" status, and whether Sammy deserves a Solo Artist RRHOF induction! All this and much, much, more!

In this "bite-sized" Bogus episode, the Bo-Hosts got a few minutes with broadcast legend and hard rock musicologist, Eddie Trunk! Eddie provides his thoughts on Vegas residencies vs. Cruise packages, Sammy's enduring appeal & legacy as well as the upcoming TBOAW Summer Tour! Plus, Eddie settles an ongoing argument between the Bo-Hosts as to which Hagar-fronted Van Halen song reigns supreme, provides his thoughts on the possibility of a Sammy Hagar Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Solo Induction and whether he'd support a Chickenfoot Alt-Act fronted by John Mayer!
It's an appetizer of an episode that will definitely fill you up!
