We've talked a lot about Lordi and their 2006 win in Athens, and with the 20th anniversary rapidly approaching next year, we wanted our listeners to be up on one of the best contests of the otherwise not-so-great '00s era. And who better to join us in Athens than Greek pop expert and comedian Mano Agapion to talk about all the high and lowlights of the Grand Final? Jeremy taps the sign with his one rule of rock, Dimitry imagines a young Alexander Rybak getting inspired, Mano has OPINIONS about Anna Vissi, and Oscar's duty freeeeeeeee.
