The Whoscoops Podcast

We actually got this episode uploaded on time this year!  ML Kennedy and Meridith joined me to go over the 2025 Oscars, movies we've seen this year, and some upcoming films.  As always it's a great time. A fair amount of spoilers on a few movies, but mainly on The Substance.

ML asked me to share this episode of "Going Over Our Freds" in celebration of Fred Olen Ray's birthday 9/10/54. ML Kennedy continues to be the guest with the most appearances on WhoScoops....who will challenge him for that title? Give the "Going Over Our Freds" podcast a listen. WhoScoops will return this fall. If you're interested in being a guest, please email themicroscoop@gmail.com

This week we welcome Nicholas Newman (from Newman the Podcast fame).  Come learn a bit about the similarities between Kentucky and Scotland, surviving the mountains of France, bus vs train travel, standing out in a crowd, and ding-dong-vegetable ditch.   Enjoy!

Recorded a few weeks ago, ML Kennedy is back again for our annual Oscars conversation.  He tried his best to keep us on topic, and I tried just as much to tangent every chance I could.  We still had a great time. Enjoy!

Huge thanks to Paul for joining Brogan and I for this full-on UFO/UAP/USO/WWF? discussion. I don't know if we figured anything out, but we had a good time discussing the most recent activities on the subject of non-human intelligence.  We get into a lot of topics this go around, and somehow it all ties back to ...yachts... and wrestling....   Enjoy! Thank you to Justin FroYogSoftServe for the special UFO theme for this week's episode. (I don't have the whoscoops site up and going just yet.  Just reply to the posts on twitter and instagram to keep the discussion going for now.)

By popular demand my son, the Big Bear is our guest this week.  I had more anxiety for this episode than any other.  I will say listening back, I've raised a funny kid... who's memory is worse than mine. Thank you to every one who voted in Brogan's twitter poll (I totally won't be holding a grudge....)   Note: Everything that was kept in this episode was with his permission, and probably against my better judgement.

Nathan Rae returns to the WhoScoops podcast with Brogan and I after a 5 year absence.  Nathan and his daughter Seren were recently featured on Fool Us (go check out their performance if you haven't) and we go through the several years in the making behind the scenes process.  We also talk about their entire Vegas "experience", disc golf, and more!

We finally get to release episode 100 with John, Paul's brother (The Honk). It was great to finally meet him and talk about growing up with Paul, getting the hell out of Kentucky, living in Austin, driving across the country in the 90s, and much more.   Thank you to all of the scoop community who keep this podcast going.  This podcast is for you so that we can continue to grow this community and know each other a little better.

The famous Paul Mattingly joins us this week and has Brogan and I howling the entire episode.    Has Paul been spending too much time with Jacob?  Is Irish just less gross sounding Scottish? Can Casio Keyboard (Andor) be redeemed in Paul's eyes?  You'll find out on today's episode. (Recorded a few weeks back before the Vegas trip.)

Big thank you to Justin for coming back on WhoScoops for the first time since the pilot episode.  It was great to catch up with you and talk about all of the projects he's worked on since then.  Enjoy!

Its Oscar season so of course we had to get ML Kennedy on to discuss the best (and not so best) pictures of the year.   I updated Zoom and the tracks were combined so I wasn't able to balance and trim the audio this time.  So you all are getting the RAW file.

JRY gave Brogan and I the only hour he had to give, and we are grateful for it!
