Now his baby-mama, Kelly Osbourne, is popping off, complaining and demanding more child support. Pete Davidson is plowing into Sarah Jane Nader now. Which Nader sister should he nail next? 60 Minutes castoffs Scott Pelley and Sharyn Alfonsi land gigs as professors at Columbia. There is a brand-new Bonerline today. Call or text 209-66-Boner. Some people are still saying Courtney Love killed Kurt Cobain. She is known to be terrible with Kurt's money. We'll always remember her for her infamous trip to Wendy's. Sports: Aaron Donald wants to come back to the Los Angeles Rams to play alongside with Myles Garrett. Brandon Aiyuk is being a jerk to the San Francisco 49ers. Angel Reese has invented African American dolls. Some men cannot beat the women in the WNBA. Aaron Rodgers went off on Mike Vrabel/Dianna Russini scandal and Dr. Anthony Fauci on the The Pat McAfee Show. Bryan Kohberger was really fat back in the day. His dad has a lot of ear wax. The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare is available now on Netflix. We find a Kohberger admirer and rummage her social media. Drew's favorite Beach Boy is the Black guy. Dennis Wilson was an absolute mess.  Happy birthday Meghan Markle! She's culturally appropriating Princess Diana. Meghan makes the BEST ice cream sundaes. Her website is filled with price inconsistencies. We may have been a little hard on Martha Reeves and her butchered National Anthem. We check if she did a better job during the warmup. Merch is available if you want to rep the show. Word of mouth, brah.

Got a text from Jean yesterday saying that they're loving their time in Boston. I can't wait to hear all about her trip when she gets back next week. In the news this morning, the Minocqua Brewing Company has it's license revoked, a nationwide recall on Thyroid medication, a Costco settlement could mean money in your pocket, a tragic murder/suicide in Michigan, Myspace is apparently attempting to make a comeback, and Oscar Mayer is celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Wienermobile with a special "wiener cake". In sports, the Brewers beat the Giants last night and go for the series sweep later today, the Tony Romo arrest video has been released, Kyle Shanahan takes full responsibility for the accident he was recently involved in, Micah Parsons is starting the season on the PUP list for the Packers, and Adrian Peterson will be inducted into the Vikings Ring of Honor later this season. Talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. Plus, a possible "Home Alone" sequel starring Macaulay Culkin might be in the works, David Lee Roth & Alex Van Halen are reuniting in Fargo for a TED talk, and the kids from "The Sandlot" are going to be in a new series called "Dugout Dads". Great story about a guy who beat cancer and decided to celebrate by canoeing the Missouri river with his dog, a kid in Florida is getting recognized for reading to shelter animals, and a message in a bottle is found 53 years later and returned to the family of it's original sender. It's Hump Day, so that means "One Gotta Go Wednesday"…and today's edition was food related - Burgers. Tacos. Pizza. Or fried chicken? Elsewhere in sports, the Browns re-up Denzel Ward and make him the highest paid defensive back in NFL history, Ohio State and Notre Dame make record deals for sponsorship patches on their respective uniforms, Bills fans AND some of their players absolutely hate their new "Nickel City" uniforms, and a minor league baseball player gets trucked by a mascot in a Santa suit. I personally don't think that mini-vans were ever cool…but apparently the younger generation is trying to make mini-vans a "thing". And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a daycare worker that locked a kid in the closet so she could go to the liquor store, a bunch of rabid beavers in NY & NJ keep attacking people, a #FloridaMan who got busted for drugs while on the phone with his "bae", & a self-service kiosk at Popeye's restaurants is asking people to tip the kitchen staff.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we discuss the surprising news that David Lee Roth has been added to Alex Van Halen's TEDxFargo appearance this Thursday! David Lee Roth will join Alex Van Halen and acclaimed artist Robert Vargas on stage at TEDxFargo on Thursday, July 30, in Fargo, North Dakota. Roth's involvement wasn't revealed until today through social media posts from Robert Vargas and TEDxFargo, making this a major surprise for Van Halen fans around the world. While this won't be a concert or musical performance, the three are expected to take part in a live conversation as part of this year's TEDxFargo theme, "CHARGE." Alex has kept a low public profile in recent years following the release of his memoir Brothers, making this appearance even more significant. Robert Vargas, the Los Angeles artist behind the famous Eddie Van Halen mural at Guitar Center Hollywood and his striking Alex Van Halen portrait, has become a close friend of Alex and will also be part of the discussion. Robert Vargas, the Los Angeles-based contemporary artist joining Alex and Roth on stage, is internationally recognized for his massive freehand murals and striking mixed-media portraits. Raised in Boyle Heights, California, Vargas studied at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts before continuing his education at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. His artwork can be found on prominent buildings throughout downtown Los Angeles as well as in cities across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Among Van Halen fans, he's best known for creating the iconic Eddie Van Halen mural at Guitar Center Hollywood and his impressive portrait of Alex Van Halen. Perhaps the biggest story is that this marks the first public event featuring David Lee Roth and Alex Van Halen together on the same stage since Van Halen's final performance at the Hollywood Bowl in October 2015. What stories, memories, and surprises might they share? We'll break down everything we know, what fans can expect, and why this could be one of the most talked-about Van Halen events of the year. #RobertVargas #VanHalen #DavidLeeRoth #AlexVanHalen #TEDxFargo

EPISODE #125 - One of the most important people in making Van Halen a successful band was engineer/producer Donn Landee. He served as an engineer on the first six VH albums with David Lee Roth and as an engineer/producer on “5150” and “OU812” during the Sammy Hagar years. Landee was also responsible for building Eddie Van Halen's home studio, 5150. The impact he had on Van Halen was immeasurable.

The album features tracks like Why Can't This Be Love, Dreams, Best of Both Worlds, and Love Walks In. Sammy brought a new energy, and fans still debate to this day who is the best lead singer. Eddie Van Halen continued to explore keyboards after his success on 1984 and still delivered iconic guitar riffs. Alex Van Halen and Mike Anthony provided a steady rhythm section that supported this new Van Halen sound, commonly called Van Hagar. Wherever you land, it's hard to deny that this album left a lasting mark on rock history.

On the 75th Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom & Zeus welcome back special guest, Podcaster, Comic, Musician and Shout It Out Loudcast Hall Of Famer, Izzy Presley to review the 1986 hard rock landscape changing album "5150" from Van Halen. Van Halen was coming off their diamond selling album, 1984, when the band and legendary frontman David Lee Roth split. Van Halen was known of course for their Guitar God founder Eddie Van Halen. His brother, drummer Alex Van Halen and his legendary snare was still there as was underrated bassist Michael Anthony and his incredible backing vocals. So the band recruited the Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar to replace Diamond Dave. Sammy was already a well established rock star who can sing, write songs and even play guitar. 5150 was Van Halen's seventh album and made it to #1 on Billboard album charts and eventually went 6X platinum. This was Van Halen's first number one album. This album was different than the previous DLR albums with a more polished and pop oriented sound that translated into more accessible music. This is the beginning of the so-called Van Hagar era. This was the Patreon pick and as usual the boys breakdown and dissect the tracks and rank the songs. They then rank the album and the album cover against the previous albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew. So tune in to find out if "Do you like Van Halen?"
