John Candy & Ace Frehley Walk Into a Podcast…

Published on: 8th December, 2025

Eric Senich joins us this episode to dive into everything from Black Friday stories and OnlyFans trends to John Candy memories, Ace Frehley, KISS, and the long-debated question of whether Eddie Van Halen really copied Ace. Eric also shares the Bob Crane story, and we unpack DISCovery, Spotify, and ongoing copyright issues.

We wrap the show with a lively round of Pass or Go, featuring artists like Living Colour, Post Malone, Mac Miller, Castle Rat, Wet Leg, Goose, 1755, War on Drugs, Lola Young, New Meanies, and The Cure. Expect plenty of ’90s nostalgia, mall-music talk, djent chatter, and jam-band detours.

About your hosts

Sean McGinity

Hi, I am Sean "SeanGeek" McGinity. And I am a geek. For me, the definition of the word geek comes from liking something so much, that I deep dive into it. Not just consuming it... but becoming it. I "geek out". Everything started with comics. I read them and studied them with a fine eye, and then started making my own. Since then, I have "geeked out" on movies (Star Wars The Evil WIthin, Hurt), music writing, recording, and performing (The Classic Embers and Dome), writing (the Symka comic and the upcoming Intuitives novel), and now... this Podcast.

Todd McGinity

Hey guys, SeanGeek here. Just to be clear, this is me geeking out on Todd "FastFretFingers" McGinity here. Todd is the GOAT. My brother is an established musician, mastering the Fretboard with a blistering discipline. If there was a guitar style, tone, pitch... Todd would find a way to replicate it. From his early days mastering Van Halen and Rush, his musical palate has expanded with forays into classical and flamenco, hard rock, blues and pop. From live performances to learning the recording process, when it comes to music, he has done it all.

Karen Bee

A lover of stories, beer, and cats, and a master of none. Catch me talking to Geek Boy every so often for the latest comic book TV show or movie, Star Wars, board games and other things cool. Hear me give my two cents, relate them to other things I know, and make other recommendations!
