This week, I took a solo trip to mental illness and back—and brought y'all with me. My sister ditched me thanks to “ass foot mouth disease,” so I hit Vegas solo-ish, saw the BACKSTREET BOYS at the Sphere (spoiler: I sobbed), did chocolate shrooms, and then stumbled into XS Nightclub where… FAKE JUSTIN BIEBER performed. Like, what?!I expose the whole scam, talk about being high in public, reliving my millennial glory days, and also—Tyler's elbow was NOT an emergency, OKAY?

Later, Esmeralda Leon teams up with Nick for a lively chat about hot dogs, street fairs, and a full dose of 90s nostalgia. From Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys mania to the shocking original casting plans for Friends—like Janeane Garofalo as Monica, Vince Vaughn as Joey, and Jon Cryer as Chandler—they dig into the alternate universe of what might have been. [Ep 380]

Onstage at their Into the Millennium residency -- which began last month and wrapped its first wave on Sunday night (before kicking off 14 additional dates starting in December) -- Backstreet Boys promised to put the crowd into a "time machine" back to the late-'90s heyday of boy bands and bubblegum pop. Katie was in the orb for the 21st show on Sunday night, and on the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, she tells Keith all about her spaceship ride back to the turn of the millennium.

 “Is your grandma mad today? It might be Cracker Barrel's fault.” In this lively episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew dives into the seismic shifts happening in the entertainment world. Special guest Stephen Presley from ThunderPop TV joins to break down the potential mega-merger between Warner Bros. and Paramount, and what it means for your streaming subscriptions. With Hulu and Disney+ already joining forces, are we heading toward a future of fewer apps and more consolidated content? Then, the conversation takes a hilarious turn toward Cracker Barrel's identity crisis—from logo changes to menu makeovers, the beloved comfort food chain is modernizing, and not everyone is happy. Tricia passionately defends the biscuits, the rocking chairs, and the country store, while Sandy and JB reminisce about long-lost chain restaurants and the desserts that still haunt them. Also featured: a budget-friendly alternative to Las Vegas' Sphere—Dallas' Cosm Dome, offering immersive 8K movie experiences without the hefty concert ticket price. Stephen shares his plan to sneak away for a solo trip, leaving his 8-year-old son to fend for himself (jokingly, of course).Guest Insights & Highlights:Stephen Presley from ThunderPop TV shares insider knowledge on streaming mergers and immersive entertainment.Tricia gives a heartfelt defense of Cracker Barrel's legacy and laments the loss of nostalgic desserts.JB and Sandy recall the glory days of Chili's, Bennigan's, and Sirloin Stockade.Memorable Moments:“Three hundred bucks for Backstreet Boys?

Ed and OB's latest pod had it all: boy-band dreams, baseball fantasies, and a phrase so overused it deserves its own fan club. They dove into viral internet nonsense, debated whether a Backstreet Boys Vegas residency could change lives (spoiler: OB might start packing glitter), and mapped out big ideas for the podcast's future. Along the way, they swapped stories about Yankees–Red Sox games, catching home runs without bodily harm, and why the glory days of R-rated comedies still make today's movies look PG. Your favorite podcast about nothing returns, and—as always—the charm is that we suck. Two guys. Two mics. Two questionable takes. That's the hose, baby.

So this week's episode… I don't even know where to start. I was hungover, hormonal, sweating through my clothes — literally not okay on every level. Thankfully, Brooke Shelby came through because misery loves company, and we are spiraling together.We talk about PMDD, throwing up after two martinis, being obsessed with Ozzy Osbourne, the drama at Starbucks (Matcha Watergate is REAL), and why I think the honeymoon phase with Tyler might be… over?? Maybe. Kinda. Sorta. Anyway. We're unpacking everything from Backstreet Boys to Love Island to Bama Rush and why the hell I'm emotionally invested in 19-year-olds picking sororities.Mental health? Down bad. Makeup? Sweaty. But we're here, we're talking about it, and we're making it funny. Kinda.CALL THE HOTLINE AND TRAUMA DUMP:

Anna found a possible easter egg, thinking one of her tracks “Ruin the Friendship” off her new album “The Life of a Showgirl” is about Blake! While Samantha and Steve were on vacation, her sister (and her sister's husband) overslept one morning and missed the excursion to swim with the dolphins.

Sam wants to just give her sister the money to keep the peace because her sister is notoriously difficult. Steve says that she treats her big sister like she's a saint, they overslept and missed the van that picked them up from the hotel, it's not their fault, no money. She says it's just going to cause problems; her sister is just difficult and it's easier to just give in.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot recap the Mariners' Ichiro celebration weekend, praising the team's tribute while questioning the odd inclusion of Tom Brady in the video montage—especially after deliberately omitting Alex Rodriguez to avoid boos. Episode 346's “area code spotlight” on Houston's, highlights a long list of famous residents and musical talent from ZZ Top and Kenny Rogers to Beyoncé and Travis Scott. Mitch and Hotshot marvel at the Mariners' blistering run—seven straight wins, 13 games over .500, and now just a game behind the Astros with 43 to play. With stars like Gino Suarez yet to heat up and pitching still not at peak form, the duo wonders just how high this team's ceiling might be. In this Mariners No-Table, Mitch, Joe Doyle, and Brady Farkas break down Seattle's 9–1 homestand, surging offense, and remarkable lineup depth even with Gino Suarez and Cal Raleigh struggling. They debate bullpen concerns—especially Andres Muñoz's command—plus looming roster decisions with Luke Raley and Victor Robles returning. Jacson Bevens joins Mitch for some key takeaways from Seattle's preseason opener, spotlighting rookie WR Tory Horton's strong debut, dynamic fullback usage, and a cleverly schemed interception that showcased Mike Macdonald's defense. They discuss the ceiling and depth of the defense, the roles of Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, and the need for top performances from CBs Riq Woolen and Devon Witherspoon. In this re-aired classic, John Tesh tells Mitch the now-famous story of how “Roundball Rock” was born, from humming the tune into his answering machine in Europe to bringing it to life in the studio. He shares behind-the-scenes details about working with NBC, the song's enduring legacy, and his surprise at how deeply it has embedded itself in basketball culture.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over Slot Substack Jacson Bevens | Cigar Thoughts, Seahawks Writer John Tesh | "Roundball Rock" - NBA's Iconic Theme   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mariners Celebrate Ichiro Weekend, Roast Tom Brady Video Cameo, and Spotlight Houston's 346 with Musical Legends 23:30 | Mariners Surge to Within One Game of Houston Behind Deep, Dangerous Lineup 39:21 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table: Red-Hot Offense, Roster Crunch Looming, and Pennant-Race Predictions 1:09:33 | GUEST: Jacson Bevens; Seahawks Preseason Takeaways: Horton Impresses, Fullback Power, Defensive Potential, and QB Depth Questions 1:29:50 | GUEST: John Tesh Recounts Creating the Iconic NBA on NBC Theme 1:51:50 | Other Stuff Segment: Seahawks vs. Raiders preseason game recap (and missed viewing due to building furniture), Seahawks upcoming preseason game vs. Chiefs — questions on starters like Sam Darnold and WR Tory Horton, Rookie Gray Zabel's strong performance at guard in preseason, Los Angeles Chargers LT Rashaan Slater — $113M contract extension followed by ruptured patella tendon in practice, NASCAR driver Connor Zilisch's clavicle injury while celebrating race win (compared to Kendrys Morales' injury), Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes' performance — ERA stats and seven-hit game, Proposal for Backstreet Boys vs. NSYNC in “The Match” golf event (and lack of interest from Mitch/Scott), Former NFL RB LaShaun Johnson sentenced for large-scale dogfighting operation, Former Miami Heat security officer Marco Thomas Perez charged with stealing/selling game-used memorabilia (including LeBron's Game 7 jersey), Houston police officer under investigation for TikTok video about writing tickets due to lack of sex, Johnstown, PA wins Little League Softball World Series — standout pitching by Reagan Bills, Tom Brady statue unveiled at Gillette Stadium (commentary on appearance), John Cena discusses hair transplant and hair loss stigma, Jen Pawol becomes first female umpire in MLB regular-season game, Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little hits 70-yard FG in preseason game, Starbucks Korea bans desktop computers, printers, and large setups in stores, Mariano Rivera tears Achilles in Yankees Old-Timers Game RIP Segment: Bobby Whitlock — Derek and the Dominos co-founder, first white artist signed to Stax Records, Jim Lovell — Apollo 13 commander, astronaut with four spaceflights Headlines: Owner of Trump Burger in Houston facing deportation, Man lights cigarette from Eternal Flame at Arc de Triomphe (Paris), Ice cream shop releases breast milk–flavored ice cream, Japanese teacher fired for working part-time at a convenience store; school apologizes to students.

As a latchkey kid growing up in San Juan, Texas, comedian Cristela Alonzo dreamed of leaving her border town and seeing the world. In this emotional two-part episode, she tells Alicia how her childhood aspirations made her the black sheep of her family, and how she needed to put those dreams on hold, first to care for her sister's children, and then, her ailing mother. Through it all, music and television – from the Backstreet Boys to the Golden Girls – was her "connection to the outside world." She writes about it all in her funny and moving new book, Music to My Years: A Mixtape Memoir of Growing Up and Standing Up.Follow Cristela on Twitter and IG @Cristela9.

Thank you very much. Krystle has been practicing Spanish. Did JLR go to a wedding? Rover went to see the Backstreet Boys in Vegas. Charlie went on his first RV trip. A sushi chef was convinced Rover was related to a band member. Thirty-nine boys died in this year's South African mass circumcision. A 23-year-old woman died after she denied chemo treatment. Two more dildos have entered the chat. Snitzer and Charlie bet Rover that another dildo be thrown on the court by Saturday. Ex-DOGE staffer nicknamed ‘Big Balls' was savagely beaten after 10 juveniles attempted to carjack him in DC. Lyme disease. The Nicki Minaj challenge. Why is Jeffrey bleeding? JLR's feet and Charlie's toes. Is Holly Strano trolling us? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're talking Backstreet Boys nostalgia (yes, they still have it goin' on), Scheana Shay's infamous “bedpost list” and the wildest celeb confessions, plus the airborne poster moment that almost decapitated Keltie. Oh, and a totally random but heartfelt detour into why Ted Lasso has us all crying into our throw pillows. It's a pop culture potluck — and everyone's invited.We have summer deals for YOU!!Old Navy: Need summer activewear? Shop in store OR online at OldNavy.com21 Seeds: The official tequila of LadyWorld!
