This loaded episode of The Eddie Trunk Podcast starts with Stryper frontman Michael Sweet joining Eddie Trunk to discuss his recent thyroid cancer diagnosis and upcoming surgery. Sweet talks about Stryper's first-ever Christmas album 'The Greatest Gift of All,' featuring five traditional songs and five originals and also reveals details about the band's upcoming 18th studio album, a solo project with a vintage sound, and the long-awaited Stryper documentary. Then, it's Tesla frontman Jeff Keith and Steelheart vocalist Miljenko 'Millie' Matijevic joining Eddie to premiere their new collaboration covering Foghat's version of 'I Just Want to Make Love to You.' The pair share how their friendship blossomed on the Monsters of Rock Cruise five years ago over champagne and cigars, leading to this spontaneous project. After that, legendary drummer Josh Freese joins Eddie Trunk to discuss his latest creative project 'Just a Minute, Volume Two,' an album featuring 25 songs that each last only 60 seconds.
