Horns up, metalheads! For on this 111th episode of Social Blend we are joined by ADAM SAVAGE from the punk/metal band known as MONGREL! Adam hangs with us as we talk with him about what the band has been up to, where they’re going, and some of the experiences they have had. During the show we also get to play some of Mongrel’s songs, so be sure to check it all out.

Adam sticks around with us as we take on some of the big news topics from the week, including the censoring of South Park. We also catch up on Bret Michael‘s current condtion, as the glam metal frontman of Poison battles through dealing with a brain hemorrhage and other complications. Later, we discuss the idiocy and ridiculousness of the stolen iPhone 4 saga that people have been overdramatizing on the web.

This week has also been a week of controversy in the world of computer security, with the news that McAfee released a anti-virus update that actually targeted Windows components; essentially crippling thousands of computers around the world. And finally, we briefly mention Mixx.com’s beta launch of the new YourMixx. All this and more on this week’s edition of Social Blend!

Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from cGt2099.com) and Jay Fowler (SilentJay74 from JuicySnake.com) the Social Blend is a fun, and hard-hitting, podcast, with no respect for rules.
