This Week's Show #078
🎙️ This week on From the Vault, Dann & Mike dust off a rare gem: our Breaking Benjamin interview at Reading Festival.

These don’t happen often — especially here in the UK — so this one was special. In fact, it was the first time we sat down with Ben Burnley himself, after years of wondering why Breaking Benjamin hadn’t made the trip across the Atlantic. Spoiler: it wasn’t what we expected…

Join us for a live watch-along reaction as we revisit this interview, laugh at our younger selves (yes, lip piercings and all), and remember the scoop that ended up on Blabbermouth. From boat rides instead of flights, to their UK breakthrough, to their gratitude for fans who waited years to finally see them — this is a conversation worth revisiting.

One shares their unabashed love for cats with another. But, it's not animal cruelty they are celebrating, rather a satisfying football victory. The Patriots dominated the Panthers in a stunning 42-13 final score. It was a slaughter only acceptable on the field. Have you experienced a similar kind of sports satisfaction?
