Aaron Beam discusses Red Fang's new collection and two decades of riff-driven sludge metal, plus Justin Benlolo of BRKN Love joins the show TL;DR This week on the Loaded Radio Podcast, Aaron Beam from Red Fang joins us to celebrate the band's 20th anniversary and discuss the release of their latest collection, Deep Cuts. Beam dives into the band's beginnings, the process of assembling rare tracks, and the inspiration behind Red Fang's unrelenting sound. Later in the episode, Justin Benlolo of BRKN Love drops in to talk about the band's ongoing evolution and the exciting plans ahead. Red Fang reflect on two decades of sludge-soaked greatness Formed in 2005 in Portland, Oregon, Red Fang carved out a distinct place in the modern heavy scene with their gritty, hook-laden sludge metal. Over the last 20 years, they've delivered one crushing release after another, gaining a reputation for both their anthemic riffs and their offbeat sense of humor. Now, Aaron Beam and the rest of Red Fang mark their 20th year with Deep Cuts — a sprawling 26-track release packed with non-album tracks, covers, demos, and hidden gems. It's a celebration of the band's journey so far, offering longtime fans a treasure trove of rarely heard material that still captures the raw, unfiltered energy Red Fang are known for. On the latest episode of the Loaded Radio Podcast, Beam opens up about the creation of Deep Cuts, shares reflections on the early days of jamming in drummer John Sherman's basement, and talks about what it feels like to still be making music together two decades later. Deep Cuts offers a full throttle dive into Red Fang's evolution From the thunderous opening riff of “Antidote” to the atmospheric shifts of tracks like “Hollow Light” and “Endless Sea,” Deep Cuts showcases the full range of Red Fang's capabilities. Beam notes that the collection captures the oddities, covers, and experimental moments that have fueled the band's evolution over the years. Highlights include their gritty renditions of Wipers' “Over the Edge” and Dust's “Suicide,” as well as fan-favorite deep cuts like “Stereo Nucleosis” and “Black Water.” It's a wild ride through the different textures and tones that have shaped Red Fang's career — from straight-up sludge anthems to more experimental, synth-laced jams. Beam also reflects on how his own musical journey — and the shared history with bandmates Bryan Giles, David Sullivan, and John Sherman — continues to push Red Fang's sound forward even after 20 years. Justin Benlolo of BRKN Love joins the conversation The second half of this week's podcast features Justin Benlolo, the dynamic frontman of BRKN Love. Benlolo and Loaded Radio's Scott Penfold dig into the band's unique blend of hard rock and alternative influences, their songwriting process, and their ambitions as they continue building momentum within the modern rock landscape. With new music and major tour plans on the horizon, BRKN Love are positioning themselves as one of the exciting young acts keeping heavy music alive in a constantly evolving scene.
Red Fang's Aaron Beam celebrates the band's 20th anniversary by diving into their new album, 'Deep Cuts,' and reflects on playing Metallica's Orion Music + More Festival.
Aaron Beam is the singer and bass player for Portland based Red Fang. In celebration of 20 years in the riff business, Red Fang releases Deep Cuts, an extensive 26-song collection of non-album tracks, covers, and previously unreleased singles, out now via Relapse Records. In this episode, Aaron paints a picture of the of the early aughts Portland scene and how it provided the exact ingredients necessary to form Red Fang. Joe and Aaron discuss how Deep Cuts is more than a collection of rarities and recollection, and why it's more of illustrative assemblage of songs that takes them out of the Stoner Rock corner. We learn Red Fangs approach to song writing, why Aaron views it as both technical and dumb and how super drummer John Sherman ties it all up with his magical touch. Aaron catches us up on his current rock endeavors, we hear a medley of tunes from Deep Cuts, and for the first time ever on Tour Stories, we take questions from a super fan.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Bokassa over Zoom video!Over ten songs and 30 minutes, Bokassa is as diverse as ever on their new full length “All Out of Dreams”. The power trio offers everything from riffy stoner metal in "Bradford Death Squadron", almost progressive skatepunk in "No More Good Days", 45 seconds of metallic hardcore in "Everyone Fails In The End" to laid-back Izzy Stradlin bottle neck-riffing on the desert rocker “Gung Ho”. Not to mention the hooky and anthemic title track. In other words, the band has not become less fond of mixing genres over the years!In an age where everything sounds the same, it has also always been important to Bokassa that each record is sonically different from the previous one. Therefore, they have been very conscious of how this record should sound. Where, for example, the debut "Divide & Conquer" had a noisy soundscape and 2021's "Molotov Rocktail" had a more playful and bigger rock sound, "All Out Of Dreams" has a slightly more raw metallic sound. This can clearly be seen in the conscious choice to go for a snare drum sound that brings to mind 90s metal, rock and punk ala Clutch, Helmet, Therapy? Or The Vandals' "Live Fast Diarrhea”, too name a few.The album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen (Meshuggah, BabyMetal, Madball, Sick Of It All, The Haunted) in Antfarm Studio in Denmark in June 2022. The band also has guest artists for the first time, in the form of Lou Koller from the NYHC legends Sick Of It All and Aaron Beam from the stoner rockers Red Fang.We want to hear from you!

Aaron Beam says it was his boss' drive for weath that put pressure on him to fudge the numbers. Aaron admits he liked the wealth that Healthsouth had generated for him, too. But that moment in his boss' office when things got heated about missing the quarterly numbers, Aaron says he should have said No. His inaction in that moment has shaped his life since.

Aaron Beam is the former CFO of HealthSouth and he discusses his experience during the HealthSouth fraud case.
If you were asked to cook the books, would you? That's the situation Aaron Beam found himself in when his CEO told him to fix the numbers to appease Wall Street investors. Aaron is the author of HealthSouth: The Wagon to Disaster. Aaron joins us to talk about his role in the fraud, ethics, intimidating CEOs, and so much more.
What if someone steps up before disaster occurs in a company when they think wrongdoing is happening? Being a whistle blower is tricky business. Before you go forward with what you think you might know, you should find someone you trust and go over your options. Originally, the term was used in government public service for mismanagement and corruption, but now it covers an employee that alerts that there may be waste, corruption, fraud or profit seeking. Laws have now been passed to both protect and reward whistle blowers. Business has a lot of bluffing — just think about the car deals you might be making and how you bluff for you to pay less and for the dealer to take less. Sometimes it’s okay, right? Meet on this podcast episode to discuss the games played in high level negotiations. These practices can lead to unethical behavior. The dictionary defines the practice of bluffing “To engage in a false display of confidence or aggression in order to deceive or intimidate someone.” Tune in!
As Out to Lunch prepares to go back to hosting live lunches, for inspiration we're taking a look at some of our pre-Covid shows. Here's an Out to Lunch Best of: Principle versus Profit. We talk a lot about business on this show, and what it takes to be successful in business. On this edition of Out to Lunch Stephanie focuses on an aspect of business that doesn't typically get so much attention: ethics. Aaron Beam is a former executive who travels around the country lecturing on ethics in business. It's a topic he knows well. In the late 1990s, Aaron participated in a 2 billion securities fraud scandal at Health South, the extremely successful Fortune 500 company he had co founded in the 1980s and helped lead as CFO. When the fraud was discovered, Aaron had opportunity in prison to reflect on what he had done. In the years since, he has taken those lessons learned and now tries to help others avoid making the same mistake. Tom Ryan is Professor of Theology and Ministry at Loyola University in New Orleans, and Director of the school s Institute for Ministry, which has an extension program in Baton Rouge. Tom is an expert on the Catholic Church and its teaching and has been nationally recognized for his research on the history of biblical interpretation, the history of spirituality and faith, and popular culture. Professor Ryan also speaks regularly on Pope Francis, who recently published a document on the Call to Holiness in Today's World. In that document, the pope makes a special point about the call to holiness in business and the marketplace. Stephanie Riegel takes an unorthodox but fascinating pause for reflection in this lunchtime conversation at Mansurs on the Boulevard.

Ever think about how long the average fraud lasts? The answer is 18 months. This episode is with Joe Koletar — a retired FBI agent, author, speaker and fraud consultant who is a seasoned investigator and has much insight on fraud and the people who commit it. A question he poses is “have you committed a crime in the last 24 hours?” Pretty much no one can say no…1 mile over the speed limit…think about it as we all have the capacity to be untruthful. We talk about “The Tipping Point” in this episode where people and countries get into trouble because somewhere in the middle is a tipping point and you have to know where your point of getting uncomfortable is in any situation. We talk about perceived need — that can be anything from a habit to a passion. We basically have the emotion to be afraid and most people enjoy a feeling of the rush a risk can give which can make fraud somewhat attractive simply because of the thrill. We get into some talk over this concept. Joe is also involved with a group of professionals who formed a behavioral forensic group who speak, consult, perform audits, make assessment evaluations and more. Interestingly enough, all of these individuals are guests on this podcast! Check their website at http://bringingfreudtofraud.com/ Have you ever thought about that fraud within a company can look like a lot of other vices like laziness or just not being qualified to do the assigned work? Tune in as we chat!
This episode is a chance to zero in on my second book which is a playbook for being ethical and winning ethically in business. I explain the "circle" of a diagram that I see and examine the leader in the center where the fraud begins. We look at what that person might look like ... as well as some of the problems that come along. The drive for money accumulation is is a perfect opportunity for situations to go haywire. If you are creating phony earnings and sales, it is going to involve the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). In my case, it was fun running with the big dogs…it was intoxicating and I didn’t have the courage. There are methods of accounting that help you achieve the numbers and it grows from there. When it comes to ethics, you need to set a goal for perfection or you find yourself on a slippery slope or in a gray area. Tune in for this episode.
Larger than life lifestyle is sometimes seen in executives that find themselves in corporate scandals. Today’s guest was at the right place, at the right time to launch a career into investigative reporting. Meet Greg Farrell who has a different perspective of white collar crime, as his job with Bloomberg requires him to put together the facts and drama of an event to bring it into the public eye. He sat in the courtroom during the HealthSouth trial and has tremendous insight in how a trial plays out as he has been on the front row to financial scandals. He’s an author of a book entitled “Corporate Crooks” which summarizes some of the big cases in this century and also the book entitled “Crash of the Titans: Greed, Hubris, the Fall of Merrill Lynch, and the Near-Collapse of Bank of America” which gives the story of the Wall Street disaster involving several financial giants. We talk in this podcast about players and incidents. Greg was on the Netflix Special “Trial by Media” and has covered several high profile trials, involving Enron, WorldCom and Martha Stewart, Tune in as we also talk about what’s happening in the aggressive attempt to keep the economy afloat and the room for bad apples to be in the mix of those who are getting benefits that shouldn't be in that line. Good people, well intended people can find themselves in situations that compromise their ethics.

Today’s episode features a guest who ministers to people and shares in their joys and sorrows. He is a special person in my life and I want to introduce him to you. Father Paul Zoghby, Pastor of St. Margaret of Scotland in Foley, Alabama joins the podcast with insight on how we use our material blessings -- perhaps that’s where we should take stock. We talk about some of the responsibilities of conducting solid, ethical business and he presents some soul searching topics. There are a few laughs along the way. Tune in!
A Party in the BackYard This episode has a special selection of Rick Carter singing Tequila Conversation, so listen til the end! Music can connect people on a lasting level that brings joy. Part of life for host Aaron Beam included hosting parties and music events at venues in Birmingham, Alabama that created deep roots and relationships with the artists. Aaron and wife Phyllis started with a party in the back yard that ultimately became a famous crawfish boil. This is where he first met Rick Carter. Rick Carter is one of those incredible musicians who wanted to write music, have an audience to hear those songs and to make a living at it. That’s exactly what he accomplished playing country rock, chasing the fads and ultimately settling in his roots of southern rock. This conversation dips into the past of the energy of bands during a time when bringing your best for the first take brought an amazing energy. Moments of his career are stellar …. opening for Bob Dylan or jamming with Jimmy Buffet are among some of his story highlights. “If My Guitar Could Talk” is a streaming show on facebook for a happy distraction that Rick’s presented during time at home during Covid where Rick goes back to original songs he hasn’t played in a while or to write new songs . The planning, execution and putting on a show gives the mental paycheck that a musician so desperately needs. 45 years of guitars gives some stories that deserve to be told. Check @rickcartermusic to follow. Tune in now for the podcast! Music written and performed by Rick Carter and used in this podcast by permission from Rick Carter.
Today’s podcast is full of insight from guest Dr. Peter Ricchiuti. He is humorous in his delivery and his points are strong and encouraging. Get ready to hear the most unethical thing he has ever seen — it may surprise you and definitely will make you laugh. This man pours himself into his students and shares his methodology as a professor at Tulane University. He founded Burkenroad Reports (www.burkenroad.org), an investment research program at Tulane University where 200 students are broken up in groups of five to follow small, underrepresented publicly traded companies. The stories will fascinate you as you hear the opportunity his students have of learning firsthand to understand stocks and realize that real people are behind each and every stock ticker symbol. Tune in to hear this author, radio host, professor and financial expert.
The discussion of ethics centers on the topic of companies adopting and presenting financial information aside from the US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) method of accounting and adopting non-GAAP measures.

As a speaker to schools, healthcare groups, CPA’s, corporations, and associations there is a chance to make a connection with the audience and bring my story of unethical and illegal mistakes that led to my professional downfall. This episode centers on questions that people ask at the conclusion of my presentations almost every time. When there’s a question from someone in the audience, I answer it with complete honesty and the interactive format gives a different twist to every presentation. You’ve probably had some questions rise in your mind just like these — why didn’t the auditors catch the fraud or when did crossing the line become apparent? Tune in for a listen.

Our discussion dives into ongoing moral and positive organizational development that help examine the decisions that are made day in and day out.

This is Episode One of Aaron Beam Speaks Podcast which is a focus on ethics and what it takes to avoid ethical landmines. We will unpack ideas, philosophies, values and warning signals through the stories and ethical standards that we explore and discuss with the guests who join us. Making good ethical decisions in society is necessary, but staying on the straight and narrow does not just happen. Moral reminders are imperative and setting a high ethical bar requires hard work, sharp senses and more than a little courage. While a single decision can alter the path, thinking about ethical dilemmas and creating a course of action can improve the odds that one makes the right choice. Aaron Beam Speaks Podcast is hosted by Aaron Beam, author and speaker who currently travels the country conveying the message to audiences in corporate and educational settings to set high ethical standards for themselves and their organizations. As the co-founder and first CFO at HealthSouth Corporation, the largest provider of outpatient surgery and rehabilitative services, Beam experienced life when days were good with the company growing by leaps and bounds and him personally profiting — to the moment he made the unethical decision that landed him in one of the biggest corporate fraud cases and then in prison. Beam is the author of two books: Ethics Playbook, a practical guide to why people and companies behave unethically, and how to build a strong ethical culture in your workplace, and HealthSouth, The Wagon to Disaster, which tells the history of the HealthSouth accounting fraud and why it happened.

We talk a lot about business on this show, and what it takes to be successful in business. On this edition of Out to Lunch Stephanie focuses on an aspect of business that doesn't typically get so much attention: ethics. Aaron Beam is a former executive who travels around the country lecturing on ethics in business. It's a topic he knows well. In the late 1990s, Aaron participated in a 2 billion securities fraud scandal at Health South, the extremely successful Fortune 500 company he had co founded in the 1980s and helped lead as CFO. When the fraud was discovered, Aaron had opportunity in prison to reflect on what he had done. In the years since, he has taken those lessons learned and now tries to help others avoid making the same mistake. Tom Ryan is Professor of Theology and Ministry at Loyola University in New Orleans, and Director of the school s Institute for Ministry, which has an extension program in Baton Rouge. Tom is an expert on the Catholic Church and its teaching and has been nationally recognized for his research on the history of biblical interpretation, the history of spirituality and faith, and popular culture. Professor Ryan also speaks regularly on Pope Francis, who recently published a document on the Call to Holiness in Today's World. In that document, the pope makes a special point about the call to holiness in business and the marketplace. Stephanie Riegel takes an unorthodox but fascinating pause for reflection in this lunchtime conversation at Mansurs on the Boulevard.

The story of how something really great went horribly wrong and the price one man had to pay.

You ve probably heard the saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." It s meant to be motivational encouraging us to take something bad that s happened to us, and turn it into something good. Aaron Beam is the poster boy for making lemons out of lemonade. Aaron was one of the founders of a company called Health South. Health South was a healthcare provider that, at its height, was a Fortune 500 company. It was the largest company in Alabama, with 40,000 employees in all 50 states. Aaron was the CFO the Chief Financial Officer. In 1996, in order to make the company s finances look more attractive, Aaron messed around with some numbers. Suggesting that the company s revenues were different from what they actually were. When this tinkering came to light, it became one of the largest corporate frauds in the history of the United States. Which is till is today. Aaron, and others at the company, went to Federal prison. As part of his sentence, Aaron had to forfeit his substantial wealth and property. Aaron has taken those lemons and turned them into lemonade. Today, Aaron Beam is a public speaker, an educator and author, who specializes in Business Ethics. Roy Devillier has not committed fraud. He has not spent any time in Federal prison. And he has not run a Fortune 500 company. Roy does, however, take lemons and make lemonade. It s called Roy s Lemonade. It started out back in the 1990 s when Roy was frustrated at not being able to get a glass of lemonade he liked at a festival. So he came up with his own recipe, and started selling lemonade himself at festivals. Today, Roy s Lemonade is on sale in 19 states. And when we say Roy hasn t run a Fortune 500 company, we might need to add "yet." Photos at Cafe Vermilionville by Lucius A Fontenot. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On the podcast "Worst Gig Ever," Geoff Garlock (Orchid, Panthers, the Year Is One, Low Estate, UCB Theatre) wallows in the crapulance of what it takes to be a musician in this world, with different guests sharing their own hilarious horror stories every week. On this episode, Red Fang vocalist/guitarist Bryan Giles and vocalist/bassist Aaron Beam discuss irritating college students, crawdad-infested bathrooms, terrible spaghetti and that classic club smell "of old beer mixed with a cleaning agent." They also open up about that time they stayed at a stranger's place where the cat used the offered couch (and, really, the whole house) as its litter box, and they reveal the identity of "the Snuggle Bandit."
Aaron Beam, the first CFO at HealthSouth, tells a cautionary tale of greed taking precedence over ethics.

What makes a memorable comedy movie? Well if you ask Mark and Matt it needs Scott Backula and Sinbad returning to college to play football. After that debate is settled they welcome Aaron Beam from hard rock band Red Fang onto the podcast. Aaron is the bassist/vocalist in the band who recently put out a new record, "Only Ghosts." The band are also big fans of comedy. During a recent trip to NYC for some shows, Beam stopped by the studio to talk about the new album, his comedy idols, Croakies, and we learn there's a neurological addiction that gives people a tendency to make too many puns.

Everybody knows right from wrong. Everybody knows numbers don't lie. And nobody wants to spend time in prison. Why, then, would a person lie about corporate profits knowing there's a high probability they're going to get caught and end up behind bars Peter s guest on Out to Lunch wrote the book on business ethics, and it's not theoretical. Aaron Beam went to federal prison for his part in a multi billion dollar fraud, and now teaches others how to make better decisions. Peter s other guest, Dr Barbara Fleischer, comes at business ethics from a unique perspective. Barbara is forging a link between business and spirituality. Andrew Preble is locking people up, but not in prison. His new business, Escape My Room, is a game that s catching New Orleans up with a sweeping international trend.

You may have just seen them perform on Letterman on Friday night, and now Aaron Beam from Red Fang is our guest on the podcast. We talk about turning 40 years old in an up-and-coming band, knowing that you just wrote a hit song, and his wishlist for a no-nonsense and mixed bag tour lineup. We cover the latest revelation from Jason Newsted about his ouster from Metallica and the main reason no one remembers Echobrain (hint: not because of James Hetfield). We also talk about musicians deciding to retire in light of Dan Lilker's recent announcement that his time in music is done, and we wonder why anyone would quit, or mostly why they would bother to announce it. Songs:Red Fang - "Blood Like Cream"De La Tierra - "Maldita Historia"
