Episode 181 – Fred Durst vs Eddie Van Halen

The guys finally get to the stack of listener letters asking questions about Fred, Wes and the rest of that band that calls themselves Limp Bizkit. They discuss antagonism, big breaks, crazy cover songs, music videos in high places, and the guitar legend who (sorta) auditioned for the band and then went military on them.
