As one half of the team of "The SHEENA & SAM" show at 97.1 FM talk (KLSX) in Southern California, Sheena Metal can handle anything that we at HARDKNOCKZ can throw her way. Though still relatively unknown, Sheena has been a staple of radio & television for 9 years as both a writer, producer and star. Her partner Sam Phillips is a former Penthouse pet, and for those who have heard the show, is the "throat" while Sheena is the "girl next door". So ya' say ya' have never heard the ladies of FM-talk? Tune in between 7pm and 9 pm @ 97.1 FM So-Cal time and listen to two chicks going at it on the air. So here it is … HARDKNOCKZ "FM talk" with the truly talented & sexy Sheena Metal!

Hardknockz: Wassup?
SHEENA: Well, I'm hosting this radio show on 97.1 the FM Talk Station called the Sheena and Sam Show ... we're two chicks goin' at it every Saturday night. My co-host Sam Phillips is a former Penthouse Pet. I'm smart and she's sexy. We're on Saturdays from 7-9:00p.m. and they re-broadcast us on Sundays from 3-5a.m. Plus we're their resident fill-in ho's. (laughs) ... vacations, illness, or death in the family. you call us, we fill in. Oh, please email us through the 97.1 site at: http://www.fmtalk971.com.

Hardknockz: Why does radio always hire in pairs?
SHEENA: Because people enjoy listening to the banter between two hosts instead of one guy sweating and begging for calls. (laughs) That's not always true though. Look how Tom Leykis cooks by himself!!!!!

Hardknockz: KLSX has shit-canned more talent than they have kept ... is Jack Silver an asshole or just on drugs?
SHEENA: Hey, hey, hey, hey ... watch it dude! I can attest to the fact that Jack Silver is neither an asshole or on drugs. Jack's a strategist, and a damn good one. A good Program Director is like a good coach. If you've got a team that isn't working right, sometimes you have to swap out some of the players. That's it. Pretty basic, really. Jack's just built a good team that works. It's really no different than what any other PD would do. It sucks though, because the Program Director takes all the heat and then gets all the blame. I mean, could YOU do his job? I sure as Hell couldn't. He's been great to Sam and me and he's really a very intelligent and insightful man and a joy to work with. This show is as much his as it is ours. What can I say? It's great when your boss is cool!

Hardknockz: DLR, SAMMY OR GARY... who's the best VH singer yet?
SHEENA: No contest there ... Diamond Dave. He's the man! He had the best chest hair in the 70's AND 80's. Sammy was pretty cool too though.

Hardknockz: Have you guys ever hooked up with Conway & Steckler?
SHEENA: Yeah, once. On a live remote in February at Keegan's Pub in Torrance. We were on the air together for awhile. Do you mean hook up, hook up? Like a talk radio foursome? (laughs) Nope! But I do have a secret crush on Doug Steckler.

Hardknockz: Does your show take on a mean streak for one week out of the month?
SHEENA: You mean to coincide with our menstrual cycles? Not really. I always tease Sammy that she can NEVER tell when I have mine. Nobody can. I don't believe in being a raving bitch for four days out of the month. Life's too short. I always know when Sammy has hers though. She gets really cranky. Like when you pick up a cat. (laughs)

Hardknockz: You guys are kind of the "Anti-Leykis". Does it seem odd that Tom Leykis is giving advise on getting laid?
SHEENA: Not at all ... why? Tom's a stud! He really knows women. Wait, we're the "Anti-Leykis?" Why's that? … Because we're chicks? Tom likes chicks! He just lays down the truth about women who are crazy, bitchy, needy, opportunistic, psycho, back-stabbing, cash cows! We agree with him whole-heartedly and are the first to warn guys about chicks like these. Here's the thing about chicks ... a little advice from your big "sis" Sheena (laughs) ... all chicks are a little crazy, many of those are stalkers, some of those are witches and STRIPPERS JUST WANT YOUR MONEY!!!!!

Hardknockz: What hard rock bands do you listen to?
SHEENA: Mostly 70's hard rock. Van Halen 1 & 2. Styx - Pieces Of Eight and Paradise Theatre. I love Boston's first two albums. The Who - Who Are You? and Face Dances. Anything by Queen. AC/DC Highway To Hell & Back In Black. All things KISS. Okay. I'm a 70's music freak. (laughs)

Hardknockz: Big hair & spandex .., Do ya' miss the 80's looking rocker?
SHEENA: Not THAT look, no. But I liked guys in cowboy boots with the leather chaps over their jeans, long shirt, leather jacket. That was a nice look. Long hair ... yes. Big hair ... not really.

Hardknockz: At what age should breast implants become mandatory?
SHEENA: Breast implants should be mandatory for any woman who wants them.

Hardknockz: Are the Sheena & Sam babes up for anal sex?
SHEENA: Sam equally fears and worships her own ass so the answer is yeah she's interested, but no she'll never do it. I'm up for anything! Shame to waste an input like that. (laughs)

Hardknockz: What is it that women really want out of a man?
SHEENA: Wow. Lots of conflicting things all at once because women are multi-faceted and quite often insane. (laughs) Okay, they want... nurturing, security, money and a big penis. (laughs) That's not what I want, though. Well, except for the big penis. (laughs)

Hardknockz: When the hell are ya' guy's getting a good time slot?
SHEENA: That's the best question yet! (laughs) Who knows? Someday. Soon. Maybe. I hope. (I'm on my knees begging here!) (laughs) Honestly, I think that things happen in their own time for a reason. When the time is right, the Sheena and Sam Show will have its moment.

Hardknockz: How much should a man spend on the first date in order to get laid?
SHEENA: As much as he feels comfortable with. Go on the date to have fun and get to know someone and if you wind up getting laid ... yeah baby! (laughs) Okay ... maybe 40 bucks?

Hardknockz: How long before ya' put out the goods on a date?
SHEENA: Sam puts out right away. But then she never calls you again. I like to wait a little while longer but I'm much nicer afterwards. (laughs)

Hardknockz: Which metal stars do it for you?
SHEENA: Metallica's James Hetfield. Mmmmm... Oh and Megadeth's own Dave Mustane. He looks like a leprechaun. I love that in a man!

Hardknockz: Does workin' with another woman ever get to be a bitch?
SHEENA: Only when you're horny and she won't put out. (laughs) Just kidding. Honestly... and I'm sure anyone with a partner will tell you this... there are times when working with ANYONE gets to be a bitch. I've always had male co-hosts until now. It's really no different.

Hardknockz: Your opinion on the current status of music or lack of good music?
SHEENA: Well there's not a lack per sea, you just have to look harder to find it. 90's alternative music is like 80's metal or 70's disco. There's some really good stuff and a lot of crap. I've actually been listening to some pretty cool current music.. Duncan Sheik, Indigo Girls, Seal, Ben Folds Five, Vonda Shepard, Sting, Edwin McCann, Tori Amos ... good stuff. I like good playing and good songwriting. I don't really care what kind of music it is.

Hardknockz: Viagra.., good or bad?
SHEENA: It's ALL good baby! (laughs)

Hardknockz: Anal sex.., how long before a man gets the road less driven?
SHEENA: From me? Only my proctologist knows for sure. (laughs) It depends on the driver really, and how he does on the driving test. (laughs) Sam's a different story though. Her ass-y road is covered over by grass and leaves for it's the road NEVER driven. (laughs)

Hardknockz: Is it hard working when ya' don't have that "fresh feeling?"
SHEENA: Nothing that a can of FDS spray can't fix. (laughs) I mean it's not like we're doing a gang-bang porn every week … now there's an idea … (laughs)

Hardknockz: Sitting next to Sam Phillips on the air… ya' ever just wanna say, "to hell with it" and see what ya' look like with a beard?
SHEENA: Have you ever seen Sam naked? … No beard. Just a five o'clock shadow. It's sort of a Don Johnson's Miami Vice look.

Hardknockz: What was the last item from the refrigerator crisper that found its way into the sack with ya'?
SHEENA: I believe it was a giant garlic pickle from the Farmer's Market. I don't know how it wound up in my bed, either. (laughs)
