At 45 minutes long, this is one of the best Tim’s Vinyl Confessions I’ve ever participated in. You can really pick up on our love of Journey, and perhaps our disappointment in recent events since their last album. Fortunately, Neal Schon heard us. Enjoy this episode!
A star studded show featuring the following guests:
Together we revealed:
GRAB A STACK OF ROCK With Mike and the Mad Metal Man
Episode 21: Back to the Cottage with Harrison & Jex
How can we possibly top the last cottage show, when Jex, Grace and Mr. Squirrel all surprised us by showing up at the lake?
While we always hope for more animal cameos, this is what’s on deck tonight:
As always, expect surprises.

When you have a guest like Spencer Rice on the show, you gotta add him to the show intro – pronto!
This intro will run with the next episode of Grab A Stack of Rock, tentatively scheduled for this Friday at 7:00 PM.
Man…I still can’t believe I had Spenny on my show!
The true champions of the world this week are Spencer Rice and Marco D’Auria! These two magnificent monsters of the squared circle took Mike to wrestling school. Marco had all the signed memorabilia. Spenny had the stories and the memories. From Toronto to Buffalo and beyond, we rapped about golden wrestling memories. One thing is certain: the impression that those characters and storylines had on us impressionable young kids was significant!
We talked a little bit about Kenny Vs. Spenny but mainly focused on wrestling. Spenny’s favourites, such as Bobo Brazil and the (Original) Sheik, received a lot of love, as did mine, Andre the Giant. The 70s, the 80s, the 90s…we tried to touch upon all our golden eras.
Thank you so much Spencer Rice for taking an hour out of your long weekend to geek out with Marco and I. Special thanks to John Clauser and James Kalyn for your video submissions (sorry James I had trouble downloading yours), and thanks to my dad for the notes and videos. And to Marco for kicking total ass!
GRAB A STACK OF ROCK With Mike and the Mad Metal Man presents:
Episode 20: SPENCER “SPENNY” RICE talks Rasslin’ with Mike and Marco D’Auria
Anybody who knows Kenny Vs. Spenny already understands that Spencer Rice is an aficionado of wrestling. He may not be the best wrestler (Kenny won that competition by cheating), but Spenny is the real fan. He knows the names, the places, the stories. I’m proud to present the one and only Spencer Rice, tonight on Grab A Stack of Rock.
Joining me will be another diehard wrestling fan: Marco D’Auria from the Contrarians! We also have a video submission from John Clauser (The Contrarians), and some notes from the 1950s from my dad.
“Let’s talk rasslin’!” said Spenny. And talk we shall. Tonight!

You’re on the run from the stun of the flame thrower! AIR GUITAR!
A wise man once said, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” MarriedandHeels declined to participate for her scheduled time slot. I booked this afternoon off for her. So, this week’s box of chocolates includes some sweet surprise guests! Jex Russell co-hosted, and harpist Grace Scheele dropped by for a bit to talk about her cassette tape Landings. The end result is one of my favourite shows! Top ten?
Max the Axe’s garage sale scores were the main focus of the show, with a second on cottage stories and musical memories. We told the previously unrevealed tale of Max’s carbon monoxide detector collection. We tributed the man himself with song after song, going over two hours!
Best of all: a first. A chipmunk visiting the show, captured on camera, live. Twice.
Addendum: Here’s the funny thing. MarriedandHeels was still welcome to appear on this show, and declined to show up. Why? Because she scheduled her own stripshow at the same time on OnlyFans. However, the gods disapproved, and she failed due to technical issues! She could have joined me, but karma and the universe worked together to spite her. Oh well! Hope she enjoyed her day at home alone, not making any money or having any fun with us.
Life is like a box of chocolates indeed! I say, eat on. The No More Heels tour of 2023 begins!
GRAB A STACK OF ROCK…
Episode 19: Back to Basics Friday
I must apologize for the suddenly cancelled show last week. A lot of stuff went down about 30 minutes before showtime, and I was occupied with another priority.
It can now we said: This episode was supposed to be for MarriedandHeels. I booked the afternoon off FOR HER. And now we have to go on without her. Thanks a lot.
Today I need to take it easy, so we’re going back to basics. My first solo show in years. I want to do it in the afternoon, not evening, so it’ll be 3:00 PM E.S.T.
I’ll be reading from Tim Durling’s book Unspooled. I have my treasures from Max the Axe’s garage sale to show. We have a demo of the Kenwood tape deck featuring the music of Grace Scheele. I’ll be unboxing new discs, and otherwise just winging it! Hope to see some of you then. I know it’s not an ideal time, but I don’t want to be broadcasting live during sunset! So afternoon it is.
