This week, Sean and Todd welcome back one of the show's most beloved guests — Tracy from Voices by Tracy. A bilingual voice actor based out of Montreal, Tracy holds the record for most appearances on SeanGeek and FastFret, and this episode proves exactly why. What starts as a trip down memory lane quickly becomes one of the most wide-ranging, heartfelt, and laugh-out-loud episodes the show has ever produced. We dive deep into the music that shaped a generation — Chilliwack, Headpins, Rush, Cinderella, Winger, Slaughter, Alice in Chains, Tesla, Triumph, and more — but this episode is about much more than music. It's about the friendships, the memories, and the moments that music soundtracks. This week we cover: The cassette tapes that started it all — how a Chevette, a tape deck, and a trip to Moncton shaped Todd's musical DNATracy's legendary street encounter with Kip Winger and Paul Taylor — and what happened when she opened her mouthThe night Beavis and Butt-Head killed Winger's career overnight — from sold-out shows to empty rooms in 48 hoursThe resurgence of hair metal — Monsters of Rock Cruise, Sebastian Bach and Slaughter coming to Winnipeg June 17thTim Kelly of Slaughter — a tribute to the guitarist lost too soonAlice in Chains covering Rush's Tears — and why Jerry Cantrell remains the most talked-about guitarist of the grunge eraWhale and Wasp from Jar of Flies — the instrumental that gets Sean every single timeThe seven year cellular theory — and what it has to do with relationships, reinvention, and finding yourselfTracy's story of rebuilding from the ground up during the pandemic — the three pillars that saved herSean's story of living in his car for two weeks after losing his marriage and job in the same week — and why he never told anyoneTodd's transformation — and why the smile says everythingThe Patreon tiers — Certified Geek ($5), True Geek ($10), Supreme Geek ($20), and yes, the legendary $75 Metal Shoppe song suggestion tierTracy does a live movie trailer voice for SeanGeek and FastFret — and absolutely nails it Pass or Go: Cinderella's Once Around the Ride — Tracy says go.
