0:40.3	The Welcome to Metal Up Your Podcast. I am your host, Clint Wells. My co-host, Ethan Luck, is still on vacation with his wife. I hope he is having a good time, getting a lot of much-deserved rest and relaxation. And I hope, by God, for all means, that he's wearing a Hawaiian Metallica shirt. This is episode 204. We're going to be going through
1:29.0	Rob and Kirk's Doodles with my friend, friend of the podcast, Tom Cui, of Alpha Batalica.

2:24.4	on Inner Sandman. Ethan did Blackin. I think he did one of the Unforgiven songs. And then plus a lot of
2:30.5	people in the Metup Your Podcast community overlap with Alpha Batalica.
