Welcome to Season 2 of The Bogus Otis Show! 2023 brings plenty of milestones in the Sammy Hagar and Van Halen canon, and your Bo-Hosts will be all over them!
First up is Van Hagar's 1988 sophomore album, OU812, which turns 35 years young! This album is a special one for Bo-Host Darin, so this will be the first of several retrospectives on this wildly eclectic and highly polarizing album. OU812 also holds a special place in Eric Senich's heart, so who better to join Bo-Hosts Brent & Darin than the host of the popular Booked on Rock and DISCovery Podcasts, who also happens to be a writer for the almighty Van Halen News Desk!
What is understood...need be discussed!

In this episode, the Bo-Hosts welcome the one and only Samantha Hagar!

Now entering its second season, the show dives into her three favourite topics with honesty, insightfulness, and a good dose of raunch. No topic is too taboo, no question off-limits — Samantha truly covers- and uncovers- it all! Don’t miss A.S.S. — heartfelt, hilarious, at times heavy, and available wherever you get your pods! A.S.S.

Drummer David “Bro” Lauser and guitarist Gary Pihl go way back—to the early ’80s, when they laid down the thunderous drums and scorching guitar riffs on Sammy Hagar’s iconic Geffen albums. Fast forward five decades, and their ALLIANCE is still going strong! When Sammy joined Van Halen in ’85, Gary jumped over to the legendary BOSTON , where he’s held it down on guitar for 40 years. And when Sammy launched his post-VH solo career, guess who was his first Wabo? His "Bro," of course! Out of that tight-knit musical (ahem) circle, "Bro" and Gary helped form ALLIANCE in the ’90s with singer/bassist Robert Berry and keyboardist Allan Fitzgerald. In this episode, they join the Bo-Hosts to chat about their killer new album on Frontiers Music, Before Our Eyes . They also reminisce about recording VOA (and whether live footage exists!), the possible whereabouts of their "55" jumpsuits, dig into their recording process, speculate on a VOA band reunion in Cabo, and face off in a round of RedRocker Rapid Fire . This episode took some serious calendar-juggling to make happen—so crank it up LOUD and enjoy!

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! ) "What is understood...NEED be discussed" Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085582159917 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebogusotisshow/?hl=en Connect with the Bo-Hosts: bogusotisshow@gmail.com…
 
"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!

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!

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! ) "What is understood...NEED be discussed" Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085582159917 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebogusotisshow/?hl=en Connect with the Bo-Hosts: bogusotisshow@gmail.com…

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!

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!

Sammy's main man for all things visual design is of course our friend Todd Gallopo!

It’s early 1995. Balance is on record store shelves. Fresh off the European promotional tour with secret gigs in Holland and Italy, VH is back with perhaps their most powerful & polished work of the Hagar era. Some internal strife? Yes, we know that now, but the energy onstage was undeniable. We wind the clock back, along with special guest Eric Senich of the VH News Desk and tackle a ranking of this historic record; the last with Sammy fronting the band. It’s a 12 down to 1 examination…with the bakers dozen 13 as we include Crossing Over in the mix. Take a spin to see how we’re Feelin’ about Balance now!

In this episode the Bo-Hosts dig deep into Sammy's 1st officially sanctioned compilation album. 1994 was a turning point for rock music and for the band. Was it the end of the beginning, or the beginning of the end? The Bo-Hosts sort it all out, as well as do a full bottom-to- top RANKING of the track list! So grab a cold Sammy RTD of choice as we UNBOX UNBOXED!

Just like our pal Steve Rosen, the Bo-Hosts are also avid ToneChasers! But since it's such a massive, elusive and highly-subjective topic, it needed a Righteous Roundtable of "Co-BoHosts" assembled to help sort the "Little White Lies" from the "High Hopes"! In this 1st episode of what will be an ongoing series featuring a rotating roster of roundtable guests, the Bo-Host's wrangled some of their closest confidants, ED-Heads and REDheads to discuss their individual paths to playing guitar, their gateway to VH, opinions on Eddie's tone, Sammy's tone, and their favorite guitars n' gear! It's a biggie, so sit back, crack several Red Rocker Lagers, and lets venture deep into the pleasure dome of tone!

The demand for "The Collection II" is the one of the reasons this podcast was started! The Bo-Hosts ( along with millions of Redheads and fellow fans ) already KNEW Sammy's incredibly successful, but long neglected, tenure in Van Halen deserved EQUAL respect & consideration to "The Collection", but that it would first require a sonic upgrade to again make this knowledge FACT! Sammy's stretch of multi-platinum albums are what Rock and Roll legacies are built and fans have waited so long for this to happen. All we can say is... "It's About Time"! But is this package worth the wait? Would Mikey's bass finally be excavated and elevated to the levels it so rightly deserves?? Is revisiting the aural recipes we all know and love a slippery slope? Would 5150, and especially Ou812, get the added clarity and crispness that current technologies allow??? Join the Bo-Hosts as they dig deep into newly remastered versions of these historic -and iconic- ROCK albums! All this, plus the Bo-Hosts discuss Sammy's recent 2024 tour announcement that practically set the internet ablaze! To get The Collection II, please visit our friends at The Van Halen Store: https://www.vanhalenstore.com/page/VH/CTGY/Remasters Or, buy it from the main man himself: http://www.redrocker.com/discography/collection-ii "What is understood...NEED be discussed" Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085582159917 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebogusotisshow/?hl=en Connect with the Bo-Hosts: bogusotisshow@gmail.com…
