Podcasts about beasties

Mary welcomes back Alex Newman to chat about what everyone already knows: events in this world continue to highlight the traps of technology that can change day to day happenings into the stuff of dystopian nightmares. I think we all know that tech is neutral - but the potential for misuse and abuse in the hands of evil men is off the charts. Our phones already track us but we just pull the covers up over our ears and hope for rest. Truth is, we have every right to believe there are monsters under the bed who wish us harm, especially when we're not being watchful. We also discuss the Deep State and the tentacles of the Federal Reserve. When the wealthiest in the world gathered at Jekyll Island, Georgia for many winters in the latter 19th and early 20th centuries, their goal was to build a banking cartel impervious to bank panics and bank runs. Long after they are dead and buried, the legacy lives on as the Federal Reserve continues to control and manipulate US finances. Where are we at with their influence today? Then we look at SEL in the schools, Social Emotional Learning - its occultic roots and how it's making global citizens out of our youngsters. A fascinating hour with Alex.

This week we are breaking down Ill Communication as part of our miniseries entitled 3 Bad Brothers A Beastie Boys Breakdown. DBRP hosts Nate LeBlanc, David Ma and Demone Carter are joined by one of the very best producers in hip-hop, Kenny Segal, who knows a thing or two about blending disparate elements into a cohesive whole, as the Beasties did on one of their most successful records. In the popular imagination, the Beasties' anthemic rock song Sabotage and its iconic video are probably the highlights from this record, but for us rap nerds, it also contains some of their very best alternative hip-hop songs. We get into some specifics about Sure Shot, Flute Loop and of course Get It Together, the mostly-freestyled jam they recorded with Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest. At the end of the episode we rank the album on our 5-point rubric, talking about the best beats, rhymes and magic moments, as well as the album's lasting cultural impact and replay-ability. We'd love to hear from all of you, what do you think of this album? Leave a comment with any thoughts. Please make sure to listen to the very end to hear a snippet of Kenny's one and only Beasties remix, which may in an alternative timeline have been released on Grand Royal and changed the course of his life. 3 Bad Brothers A Beastie Boys Breakdown is a production of Dad Bod Rap Pod Hosted By Demone Carter, David Ma, and Nate LeBlanc Executive Produced by Nate LeBlanc Produced by Demone Carter and Paolo “Cutso” Bello  Edited by Demone Carter and Nate LeBlanc  Engineering and Post-Production by Paolo “Cutso” Bello Artwork by Rory Simms Photography by Stephanie Barajas  Youtube version produced by Paolo “Cutso” Bello Theme song written and recorded by Defcee and Produced by Cutso Dad Bod Rap Pod is distributed by Open Mike Eagle's Stony Island Audio

All summer long, Dad Bod Rap Pod is breaking down the Beastie Boys' legendary career in an album-per-episode miniseries. This week things start to get really interesting as the Boys build their own studio in LA so they can jam with Mario C at the boards and Money Mark on keys, crafting their pivotal album, the eclectic and electric Check Your Head. DBRP hosts Nate LeBlanc, David Ma and Demone Carter are joined by hip-hop trivia king and fellow podcaster Sean Kantrowitz to discuss the Beasties picking their instruments back up, karaoke mics, the Boys' Jewish heritage, and much more. After lots of context is provided and we discuss what we like and are less enthused about on the album, we score the art on a numeric rubric. Disagree with our takes? Please let us know in the comments. Tell us what number you would assign to the Beats, Rhymes, Cultural Impact, Replay-ability and Magic Moments out of 10. Tune in next week as we examine the world-conquering Ill Communication with one of the very best producers of rap music in the world right now, Kenny Segal. 3 Bad Brothers, A Beastie Boys Breakdown is a production of Dad Bod Rap Pod Hosted By Demone Carter, David Ma, and Nate LeBlanc Executive Produced by Nate LeBlanc Produced by Demone Carter and Paolo “Cutso” Bello  Edited by Demone Carter and Nate LeBlanc  Engineering and Post-Production by Paolo “Cutso” Bello Artwork by Rory Simms Photography by Stephanie Barajas  Youtube version produced by Paolo “Cutso” Bello Theme song written and recorded by Defcee and Produced by Cutso Dad Bod Rap Pod is distributed by Open Mike Eagle's Stony Island Audio

Ill Communication, released in 1994, marked a high point for the Beastie Boys, blending their signature irreverent style with genre-hopping experimentation. The album saw the trio—Mike D, MCA, and Ad-Rock—seamlessly fuse hardcore punk, jazz-funk, and old-school hip-hop, with the standout single “Sabotage” becoming an anthem of the era. Its explosive bassline, distorted guitars, and aggressive delivery captured the Beasties at their rawest and most innovative. At the same time, tracks like “Sure Shot” and “Root Down” paid homage to their b-boy roots with tight rhymes and slick DJ work from Mix Master Mike. The album wasn't just about sonic chaos—it carried deeper, more mature undertones, reflecting MCA's growing interest in Buddhism and activism. For many fans—and clearly for us here at Totally 80's and 90's Recall—Ill Communication stands as a definitive '90s album that refused to be boxed in. It's wild, funny, political, and endlessly replayable. From punk mosh pits to chill jazz instrumentals like “Sabrosa,” the Beastie Boys proved they weren't just rap pranksters from the '80s—they were legit musical craftsmen. The album captured the eclectic energy of the decade and the spirit of reinvention that defined the Beasties' career. Whether you're blasting “Sabotage” in your car or grooving to the funky vibes of “Flute Loop,” this one hits as hard now as it did in ‘94.

Got a yeasty beasty? Then this episode is for you! Today is a special day, because this is our very first FETCH First Friday episode where I collaborate with fellow canine nutrition and holistic wellness consultant, Stacey Renphrey of Hozho Hounds to teach you how to use our FETCH framework as a way to start approaching some of the most common health conditions. If you didn't catch our episode where we introduced FETCH, FETCH is an acronym that stands for Fresh Food, Energetics, Targeted, Curiosity, and Holistic Health. Stacey and I developed this framework as a tool to help you, as the pet parent, gain more confidence in being your dog's health advocate. It works by giving you some practical things to look at if your dog is experiencing a health challenge. It also helps you to keep track of your individual dog's health journey, so that you can better collaborate with your vet and other health professionals. It's the same framework that Stacey and I use in our canine nutrition and wellness practices to start understanding what might be at the root of a dog's health challenge, how nutrition might better support the health journey, and how other complementary therapeutic approaches might also be beneficial. We are kickstarting FETCH First Friday with an all-too-common condition that Stacey and I see in our client dogs: yeast. We'll talk about what yeast actually is, the different ways it can show up, what causes it, and different ways to consider supporting your dog if they are in a yeast flare-up. We'll also answer some of your questions about whether or not use probiotics, we'll talk about what a yeast die-off is and how to support the detox process, and we'll also address the hotly-debated topic of whether or not carbs feed yeast. We share our opinions on how to think about raw vs gently cooked diet options, and how food energetics may play a role in your decision of what to feed your yeasty dog. Stacey and I talk about energetics and how we've seen a pattern of cool dogs with yeast. If you have a warm dog with yeast, we'd love to know! Send us a DM or get in touch at mysticdogmama.com. And let us know what other topics you'd like us to cover on FETCH First Fridays! We're all ears :)  Our January episode is all about Canine Cognitive Disorder (CCD), so if you have a senior pup, you're going to want to check that out. If you'd like to learn more about becoming a founding member of our FETCH membership where we'll learn in community how to become our dogs' (and our own!) empowered health advocates, then send me a message on Instagram @mysticdogmama, or get in touch on my website https://mysticdogmama.com Before we dive in, just a quick note that this episode is sponsored by Aspirationery ,which in full transparency, is another project of mine where we create books, notebooks, and stationery to support you in becoming all you aspire to be. I'm really excited to announce that we have released a Spanish language version of our popular My First Period Tracker for Young Girls and Tweens in order to increase menstrual literacy and empower young people to become advocates for their menstrual health. You can learn more about our books on our Instagram https://instagram.com/aspirationery OK, on that note, let's go!
