Former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie for a wide-ranging conversation on some of the biggest and most controversial topics in sports. The discussion starts with the NCAA investigation into Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who is accused of placing nearly 10,000 online sports wagers — including bets involving his previous team while redshirting. Jake and Mick debate whether college sports gambling rules are protecting the integrity of the game or becoming too restrictive in the modern era. The guys also react to the NAACP's call for Black athletes to avoid playing at southern schools over political redistricting battles in states like Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. Could a boycott actually impact SEC recruiting? Jake explains why he believes NIL money, NFL development and playing opportunities still drive most recruiting decisions. Plus, Mick shares his thoughts on Pete Rose, baseball ethics and whether Rose's lifetime ban should have been lifted before his death. The conversation also takes a hilarious turn with personal stories involving horse racing, a bachelor party hot streak, and a mistaken identity involving Hootie & the Blowfish. Topics include:

Porto" Over their nearly twenty-album history, the Canadian outfit 5440 have proven themselves to be one of the most enduring rock and roll bands of all time. Their career highlights are numerous, so bear with this partial list of their achievements. They've been nominated for 8 Juno Awards, have had #1 singles and Gold albums in Canada, had their song "I Go Blind" covered by Hootie and the Blowfish and have toured all over the world. The band's new album Porto is the perfect addition to their fabulous discography. Filled with melodic crunch, introspective lyrics and some of the catchiest songs of the year, Porto reinforces the power and enduring quality of this legendary band. The partnership and friendship of singer Neil Osborne and bassist Brad Merrit is the secret to what makes 5440 tick and this chat addresses that and a lot more. This is a great chat and Brad couldn't be a nicer guy, so enjoy this conversation. www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com Stereo Embers: IG + THREADS + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Like we would film it with like one camera. Then it got better with you guys and Evan. Then we got three cameras set up.

Well, I don't think we've had a catch up since the Masters. I think the last time we talked, just us was. Yeah. Pretty master. Yeah, it's been a minute. We've had a lot going on. Yeah. Really busy voice right now. Yeah. If you can't tell, I've had a hell of an April man. 00:03:13:25 - 00:03:29:26 Unknown I've had a hell of an April. I did Coachella for seven days because I went to four days, Coachella, three days in LA, and then back for one day when Savannah, Georgia, for three days back for one day. Went to Stagecoach for five days. Now I'm back for one day. I go to Nashville for six days. So it's been a hell of a month. 00:03:29:26 - 00:03:51:24 Unknown It's been a hell of a month, but it's just thinking about to be back, man. Yeah, it's been a lot. I mean, that's that's a lot. So when you're at Coachella, I mean, I don't really know what it's like a music festival and there's different people. I saw this, like Instagram graphic that was like Coachella lost money in his first year, you know, and the guy put all this money into it and sold his house and you know, or whatever to, to fund it. 00:03:51:24 - 00:04:06:19 Unknown But what is Coachella like? Yeah. Where is what is it? It's funny you say that because I saw that too. And I was like, you know, I've never done research on Coachella. Like, how did it start? Would it begin in 1994? The the founder of what is now Goldenvoice that runs Coachella, Stagecoach and a bunch of other events. 00:04:06:24 - 00:04:25:08 Unknown He's all over the world. He had this back then. There was no music festivals like it wasn't a thing. So he was one of the first ones to do it. And so he created this music festival and everybody thought it was going to fail. They were like, this is ridiculous. But he was like, he had the idea of instead of getting one massive headliner, you get a bunch of smaller ones where people don't come for one person, they come for the entire lineup. 00:04:25:08 - 00:04:45:19 Unknown And that's like a revolutionary thing. But the first year got his ass kicked, lost $800,000, sold, is sold his house, lost everything, sold his car, started to build it up again. And then Woodstock 99 happened and scared everybody away from music festival because I was such a shit show. That was Limp Bizkit. Yeah, Limp Bizkit and corn. And it was like crazy, you know? 00:04:45:20 - 00:05:04:22 Unknown It was like, yeah, all the crazy, like it was horrible. So brands backed away and they were like, we're not touching music vessel. So then he lost everything again. Lost his house, lost his car, lost his wife. But he didn't give up. And he stayed on it and he slowly built it. And then I think he said in like 0304 he got Rage Against the Machines as a headliner and sold like, you know, 50,000 tickets. 00:05:04:22 - 00:05:23:13 Unknown And then from there, this last weekend was the biggest two weeks. So it's over two weekends, same lineup every day for two weeks. Well, the weekends. And he made $200 million in 14 days. What is it like? My buddy goes to this thing where they camp out in a desert, Burning man. Is it like that? Like, where is Coachella? 00:05:23:13 - 00:05:50:20 Unknown Where is it at? It is a desert. It is in the desert, but it is stage. And like people are just on the lawn. They camp out there still. And what do you do? There's like what, three know. There's big stages and then a bunch of little like activations I think Coachella. So there's 200 artists. It's massive. What Coachella I want to say there's yeah there's actually I think there's now like three main stages at Coachella and like 5 or 6 small stages and then like a whole bunch of even smaller like stages that you play like activation brands and things like that. 00:05:50:20 - 00:06:09:00 Unknown And it's I will say it's turned into it's more you go for the party now. Still there are still people go for the music. Don't get me wrong. And it's one of the most beautiful, well put together, cleanest festival you'll ever be. It's never art. It is. Yes, they have art installations. It's very California, you know. Where is it? 00:06:09:02 - 00:06:27:01 Unknown So it's in desert. Yeah. So palm flying to Palm Springs, and then you drive into Indio, India. Indio. And it's just a big open field, basically open. It's an old polo club that they turn into. Where do you stay there like hotel. So that's the hardest part. That is the hardest part. So you can camp but it's obscene like we're talking just for there was. 00:06:27:02 - 00:06:44:21 Unknown I remember we were looking because this year was crazy with Bieber like ticket. We broke all the records, tickets, price, everything. He broke everything. Merch. He sold like $7 million worth of merch the Friday before his show. The first weekend. Just alone. Just insane stuff. A we were looking online because we wanted to get our own place because we were bringing the kiddo. 00:06:44:23 - 00:07:00:13 Unknown I was working so like, it's hard because I was playing. So we were looking and for a truck bed in the campground where they have like a topper, $6,000 for three nights a week. That's when they supply the truck. They supply the truck bed, but you sleep in the truck bed for $6,000 for three nights. That's how insane it is. 00:07:00:14 - 00:07:28:24 Unknown So the house and the house is now the crazy part is it's become a business. Obscene. It's become a business where I remember brands and like rich people very well off successful people will buy houses out there and completely just redo them and make them massive. We're talking resort style pools, arcades, basketball courts, all this, and they will make their mortgage the month of April because they'll do three weeks of $20,000 a night, like just boom, because, you know, 12 bedrooms kind of thing. 00:07:28:24 - 00:07:50:20 Unknown So where did you guys stay? So for Stagecoach, we stayed that money. No, no, no. But why would you spend it if you did know. Exactly. Yeah. But remember. So I played Stagecoach, I played the honky tonk, which is like the big stage at Stagecoach in 2022. And we got remember that house we stayed in? Yeah, that was this massive house, like massive house for like I posted for it. 00:07:50:20 - 00:08:05:29 Unknown All of us posted for it and I think I paid like five K and it's normally like $60,000 for the weekend and I paid like five K. Wedding venue. It's a wedding venue. It had everything a recording studio. It had basketball court, pickleball court, tennis court, Olympic sized pool. It had like 12. It was insane. It was just insane. 00:08:05:29 - 00:08:27:05 Unknown So that is like it's one of those festivals where like, it is like when I was walking out on Sunday, I was walking out because we brought my kiddo and it's literally your FYP page, like it's just all celebrities. And I was going out through like the artists VIP area, just all celebrities, all the Instagram models you see on your FYP, all the fucking streamers. 00:08:27:06 - 00:08:45:21 Unknown You know, there's massive streamers right now, like speed, all those guys, neon, they're all walking by. It's a wild thing, man. And you see Ashton Kutcher, you'd be standing next Ashton Kutcher are those guys. Are they getting free like tickets just because they want to be there? It's it's not only from the festival that because that's three. Yeah yeah brands. 00:08:45:21 - 00:08:59:25 Unknown So I went I actually went to church with Stagecoach. So they gave me a bunch of artist passes. But usually it's brands like a brand like T-Mobile will be like, hey, we'll give you five passes you have to post for us, and they'll pay you sometimes and stuff and they'll put you up. And so it's just it's turned into a whole. 00:08:59:27 - 00:09:30:15 Unknown It's just a monster, man. It's just the most insane, exhausting, but also like, really cool, like I saw. I mean, the last couple of weeks I've seen obviously Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, hoodie and the Blowfish, Post Malone, third eye blinds. It just goes on and on. It's the most random musicians, but music and John was but it's it's incredible because I mean that was one of my favorite memories was I can't remember what year it was, but we were standing there in the VIP bar, artists backstage and Mila Kunis like fangirl too, over him and G. 00:09:30:16 - 00:09:48:18 Unknown Yeah, it was wild. And Mila Kunis is like talking to them. And I'm here having drinks and we're doing shots at the bar. It's me. Scooter Braun, Ashton Kutcher, and Matt Stafford. Yeah, yeah, we're just chopping it up for 30 minutes. Y Miller's fan girl. Yeah, yeah, it was wild. She was like, are you two? Because we weren't public yet, so we were so private. 00:09:48:19 - 00:09:59:06 Unknown And she was like, G and blade. She was like, are you two dating? And we were like, yeah. She's like, am I one of the first people to know this? And so is kind of we got all on film to every dog for got. It was a cool moment. We'll get you guys those photos. Yeah. Yeah, it's really cool. 00:09:59:06 - 00:10:15:12 Unknown But that's just the way it is. It's you'll you'll be in like, the artists VIP and you'll just be standing next to like, yeah, you'll be having shots with whoever. Imagine you'll just be, like, standing next to Sweeney or Kendall Jenner and. Yeah, thanks for inviting me. I remember that next year, Sidney, this year, like, who's the guy who? 00:10:15:12 - 00:10:35:04 Unknown Just one. Or he was like Frankenstein, you know? And he's part of euphoria. The tall guy that everybody fucking upset Jacob Elordi or something. Yeah. He got caught by like a fan in VIP making out with Kendall Jenner. I guess they're dating. You know what I mean? It's just it's a wild, wild experience. But if you haven't been, people get scared of it because, like, oh, it's just influencers and celebrities, like, don't get me wrong, it is. 00:10:35:06 - 00:10:52:08 Unknown But there's 250,000 tickets sold over two weekends for Coachella. 15% of that is influencers. So it's really an incredible festival. If you ever get a chance, there's a reason people go back, like there were people who were talking to have been like 15, 16 years. And it goes, it's not just like 7 to 10, is it like all day? 00:10:52:11 - 00:11:14:24 Unknown It's Torcello. Very much so. Yeah. Coachella. Ope door was at three, closes around 2 a.m. maybe. But then during the day the brands do like we went to Revolve Fest and you have huge, massive musicians playing, you know what I mean? You go to all these activities. Marvel have bigger artists better than Stagecoach. I was saying up to the point where, like, I kind of just want to go for the parties because they, they have a hell of a lineup, you know what I mean? 00:11:14:24 - 00:11:33:22 Unknown So it's just a beast, man. It's a lot. And you get 20,000 steps in a day. It's just it's crazy. But I always like, regret it. But then, you know, I finished and I'm like, I can't wait for next year. So how long is your set? Each day I play, so I play 19 for somebody or you just it's just you and just dancing and you're doing the shit in front of all this. 00:11:33:23 - 00:11:46:10 Unknown Yeah. I play in, like, this enclosed tent, which is. And I'm air conditioned, which is, there's not many air conditioned. So it's a pretty popular tent. And yeah, I play for 90 minutes. There's like, you know, they have like a lineup play for 90 minutes in this like little enclosed tent. And it's super fun, man. It's a vibe. 00:11:46:10 - 00:11:59:21 Unknown And it's it's like it'll get packed because like Sabrina Carpenter let out and it'll be packed in their shoulder to shoulder, like sold out. And then, you know, all of a sudden the strokes are starting on the next stage and then kind of empty in the next week. So it's a revolving door. But it's fun. It's a really fun spot. 00:11:59:22 - 00:12:16:04 Unknown They're really there for the AC not you. Yeah. No AC in the fucking misery. Yeah. It's so hot out there. Yeah I don't know if it was Coachella or Stagecoach, but Jake Worthington, who was on our pod, was singing with Post Malone. He they called it. Yeah. Last night he called him up and I was like, I literally turned. 00:12:16:05 - 00:12:30:24 Unknown I was like, he's been on my part. He was on a podcast. Yeah, I saw that clip today and I was like, what the hell? Yeah, he pulled up. He's like blowing up. Well, post is such a post. Loves post is such a historian of music. Honestly, like he he might be the most versatile artist of all time. 00:12:30:27 - 00:12:43:23 Unknown Like he could do everything he was. His set last night was really good to, which is insane to think I was just there. I was up till 2 a.m. and you were at when Jake Weddington was there? Yeah, I was, did you see him or say hi to him or anything? No. So I didn't know I didn't. Okay. 00:12:43:25 - 00:12:59:14 Unknown Because he was he was like back backstage okay. Yeah. But what I was gonna say. Yeah. So I posted, you know, obviously he's got this whole thing where he's like gone country now and he's like kind of rebranded. But he played a bunch of his old stuff, which was dope. He did a ton of covers, but he played White Iverson Celebration. 00:12:59:15 - 00:13:22:13 Unknown Yes. What ever since. Circles not celebration. Congratulations. Yeah, he played all those, but it had a country spin to it. But it reminded me of Old Post. And he's such a performer, man. He's such. Yeah. He's good. Incredible. So he was probably my second favorite. Bieber was the best of all three weekends. We were talking about that with thought because everyone was like complaining about the YouTube. 00:13:22:13 - 00:13:36:22 Unknown But then the it's the copyright of music because he sold his whole he sold his whole library, play anything live. Well, he could, but he would have to pay. Yeah, he'd have to pay royalties. So what did he do? So he used YouTube. That's why he used it. And how were how was that amazing. If he's just he was watching my YouTube video, so. 00:13:36:23 - 00:13:52:06 Unknown Okay. So I liked it because he was he was discovered on YouTube. So it was like a very full circle moment for him. He was showing the old YouTube videos that he got discovered on and was singing over top of his old baby voice, kid voice, so he was singing on top of it. To me, it was just very artistic, the way he like, did everything. 00:13:52:07 - 00:14:08:08 Unknown It was like, this is my new self, this is who I am now. Swag the new album. But he was still paying respect and like, you know, to who he was and who he became and how he became famous. And I thought it was like very therapeutic. I'm not the biggest Bieber in the world or believer or whatever they call him. 00:14:08:08 - 00:14:24:14 Unknown But like, even I walked away with that and I was like, so yeah, but I walked away with that and I was like, Holy shit. Like, I got goosebumps. I was like, this kid has been through. So, you know, we don't know. Yeah. But like, he's been through a lot. We know, you know what I mean. But and like we know. 00:14:24:17 - 00:14:41:03 Unknown So it's like it was like he was literally up there like healing. It was cool I enjoyed it. But I get why. Because Sabrina Carpenter's stage was like, well it's like sexual Sabrina. Super sexual. Well, yeah. But it wasn't even that. Like, I went to Lady Gaga last year and it was the most insane stage setup I've ever seen. 00:14:41:09 - 00:14:55:27 Unknown And then Bieber walks out there. It's just him, a fog machine and a laptop, and he crushes it, you know what I mean? So I think a lot of people, that's cool, probably a lot of people. So for a show like that where it's like someone huge, how many people are in the crowd for his stage? I've never so Bieber they oversold. 00:14:55:27 - 00:15:15:15 Unknown I've never seen artists was packed, VIP was packed, gay was I've never seen so many people for Bieber for a that's my fifth Coachella. I've never seen it. So they oversold like like dangerous. Oh no no no. Because I I'll show you some say close to over 100 probably. Maybe more 200. Yeah. Maybe for flat right. Elevated like. 00:15:15:19 - 00:15:32:26 Unknown Yeah. If you're if you're back there you're not seeing shit. Yeah. But they do a really good job of like putting another screen with speakers and another screen. It's crazy like like sounds like I get it, I get it. So you'll have the stage and then probably like 200, 300 yards out for the second half they put up big screens so those people can see the stage. 00:15:32:27 - 00:15:53:00 Unknown And this is going to sound douchey. But like I would never go if I didn't have the artist. Oh God bro I'm never I'm already in like the camp. I don't do many concerts, but the last couple last year Eric took us to Jason Aldean, were backstage. We meet Brittany, you get spoiled, and then we go to Jake Worthington's top at Red rocks. 00:15:53:00 - 00:16:08:23 Unknown We're on stage. We're in his fitting room. I'm like, look at those peasants out there. There. And I'm not, you know, I'm like, yeah, it spoils it for you. Yeah it does. It does for sure. Especially at festivals. It's just festivals are so brutal. But but yeah, that's what I've been up to. In April. So it's been a lot. 00:16:08:24 - 00:16:25:29 Unknown But so do you like baby baby baby pre nut drop or after. It's nuts dropped pre pre baby I like I like the OG the song. 00I like the ogg do the OG. And I was so worried that he wasn't going to play his old stuff. And then he played it all, which was so cool. It was, it was incredible. 00:16:25:29 - 00:16:40:22 Unknown And then I think there's word on the street that he's going to be first, he's going to do a world tour, and then there's word on the street that he's going to do the Super Bowl halftime show, really the world tour. So if he does world tour, he'll actually perform. But the label, the company who owns all the songs would get half. 00:16:40:23 - 00:16:54:09 Unknown And then he they pay him. So it's like, hey, you can sing our songs now, it's his. But then they'd pay him a fee. There would have to be some kind of mutual agreement. Yeah, I don't know what that contract looked like when he sold it. How much he sell it for? Hundred million. Because it's like when Taylor. 00:16:54:11 - 00:17:12:14 Unknown I mean, scooter has all the Taylor's music, so. Yeah. And she, like, recorded everything. Yeah. To big fuck you screwed. Up. I saw scooter fucking making out with Sydney Sweeney. This. Where was TMZ? Oh, no. They've been together for a while. Oh, I thought that. Yeah, that for a while. We could have clipped that here. I was like, man. 00:17:12:18 - 00:17:29:21 Unknown But yeah. So we went to. We went to Sydney soon. He's like little pop up. She had a siren pop up for her lingerie and they did a really good job. It was all karaoke. So she was in there seeing karaoke with fans. I saw her with Riley Green. She did with Riley Green. She did it with Who's the other podcast or the hilarious podcast or like a comedian, the biggest. 00:17:29:21 - 00:17:50:20 Unknown I can't think of the black guy. No goofy comedian. White hair has like a long good thing. Anyway, he was did the honky tonk with Caleb driving crazy. Anyway, he was in there singing with her and it was fun. It was. It was just a fun. What's his name? The guy in tires. 000, no, I love this is awesome. 00:17:50:25 - 00:18:13:02 Unknown I think it sounds like a busy couple weeks, but yeah, it's been it's been a lot. It's been a lot of us have day jobs. Yeah. Well, now for the boring stories. Yeah. Master's party. That was the best party. It was good. I would say that. I didn't know how serious people took golden tea. Oh, my God. Like, I knew people played and like, you know, had fun at the bars. 00:18:13:02 - 00:18:27:19 Unknown But it was like the Wednesday before I made a rule sheet and I just put it in ChatGPT. I was like, just make like a basic rules for golden tea. Print it out. Cool. I had like 25 people come up to me like, what about this? What about this? What if I tie? Can I log in? Can I change my ball? 00:18:27:20 - 00:18:44:25 Unknown Can I use my clubs? And I'm like, you can log in, you could bring your own. Yeah. Like you could log into your character using your email. And then they have all their clubs or custom balls. They have handicaps. And that's how I was like, no, no, we're we're just keeping it stuck. Like. And they're like, oh. 00:18:44:26 - 00:18:56:18 Unknown And I was like, I don't know. Well, one guy was flexing like he was a top 50 player in the world. Yeah, there was a lot of talk about it and it was like, come for that? Yeah. You know what I mean? I was probably the biggest draw was the golden tee. All for a free golf bag. Yeah. 00:18:56:19 - 00:19:11:13 Unknown For a goal. Get it though. Let's go back. And it was like a three hour tournament. Oh my god. And like, towards the end, like, people didn't really care like or at least I didn't. And there was like a table there and people were like asking people to move, get out the way because they would step back like five feet. 00:19:11:14 - 00:19:28:24 Unknown Yeah. And then like walk into it and then I'm like, this is great. I got eliminated first round by Nick. So I bald out and you guys playing around I we didn't I got lucky like I hit a good shot and I had like an eagle putt and Eric hit in the water was like I lost. Yeah I just conceded you know people were taking it. 00:19:28:27 - 00:19:43:29 Unknown Get my sandwich now that's so funny. I mean I've seen videos obviously on social, but I didn't realize it was so like widespread I guess, like people in Denver, you know what I mean? It was crazy, like people like a lot of people showed up because they knew pins or whatever, but some people showed up just to play Golden T. 00:19:44:05 - 00:19:58:16 Unknown That was a great test with it. Yeah. Videos and pics. Yeah, it looks great. I was like, that's awesome. I would, I would always I would love to know people do that, you know like what is their handicap in real life. Like are they big golfers. Like if you look at them you're like, oh yeah, you're a golden tee golf. 00:19:58:16 - 00:20:15:24 Unknown Yeah, you're a golden key guy. Yeah. All right. Yeah. They're virtual okay. Some people were like, yeah I'm like a plus 15. Can I log into my character? I'm like, how are you a plus 15 on Golden Teeth? Yeah, on Golden Team. But yeah, they were taking it real. I think golden years now I kind of want to play like I don't think I've ever played until like that. 00:20:16:00 - 00:20:32:03 Unknown I've never played golden. It's fun for like 20 minutes. Yeah. It's fun. Yeah. But I would never play. It was like, yeah, yeah like forever. Because what were we doing? Three holes. Yeah. It's like three whole matches and one guy lost. And it was single elimination because there was like 60 people in it. So I didn't want to go for eight hours. 00:20:32:03 - 00:20:47:28 Unknown And he came up to me and he's like, is it really single elimination? And I was like, yeah, we don't have all. He's like, damn it. I was like, sorry, man. Like, it's just a Saturday. Like we're just trying to drink and have a good time. Yeah, exactly. And like, don't take it out on me. I pointed at Rory. 00:20:47:28 - 00:21:03:29 Unknown I'm like, hey, he made the rules. You can talk to that guy if you have any shit to talk, talk to him. So what did we think about the Masters? What did y'all. I know that we we we we placed some bets there. My guy made Iran. Yeah, I took Rose. Oh, you took Rose. Oh, okay. I bet on him Sunday morning. 00:21:04:00 - 00:21:24:02 Unknown Did you? But yeah, it was fine. I took we talked about it like Bryson shut the bed on that. Looking back on it now, hindsight's 2020, but I should have gone with Rory. Well, we had nothing to prove. I think next reasonably well. Well, even like we were talking, Nick on that Saturday while we're at the stones, when he was slipping and dropping. 00:21:24:02 - 00:21:41:12 Unknown And his line at the time was, what, -150? And I was like, put everything on him. Yeah. And I didn't do it, I did it, I bet him. Did you? Yeah, I bet Rory. And then. And then he dropped even further after he said that and he was like plus 150. So I put another $50 on DraftKings. He had given up, like, what, 4 or 5 strokes? 00:21:41:13 - 00:21:56:13 Unknown Like in what, the first seven holes? Yeah. Wow. Kind of fell in apart. Yeah, I guess he kind of did. Yeah, yeah. Well, that was crazy, but. Yeah. And then Fitzpatrick's brother got his card. That was. That was cool. I didn't know how that worked. I didn't know, you know, because it's a team event. It's like you get points. 00:21:56:13 - 00:22:11:11 Unknown It looks like they got some points. He doesn't get into all the majors. He gets into the PGA Championship. He still got his two year card. He gets his two year card which is cool. But like you know when Rafa won a Bermuda it was a not a main of it. You know it was like an off week event. 00:22:11:11 - 00:22:28:09 Unknown But he still got an invitation to the Masters, the players, the British, you know, all the majors pretty much. He only got into the PGA Alex. But that's still cool. I mean he just went on the DP tour a couple of weeks ago. So he's a solid player. He's really good. And yeah, now he he gets to play with his brother. 00:22:28:12 - 00:22:48:23 Unknown And Matt Fitzpatrick is playing great. Obviously won back to back weeks one of the BC last week. And you know now wins with his brother this week. So he's a really good player. He's third third in the world. So what was the format. It was the last day of all that was alternate shots, what I thought. And so they shot like 100 alternate shot, which is pretty hard to play alternate shot. 00:22:48:23 - 00:23:06:20 Unknown But then I think in four ball they shot 57, which is 1400 in best ball. That's just best ball and that's balling. That's like yeah that's that's that's balling. And then I don't know if there's a scramble I don't know if it's one day's a scramble. I don't think they play a scramble. I think it's you're playing your own ball every time. 00:23:06:20 - 00:23:26:22 Unknown I think it's maybe three rounds of four ball and then final day is alternate shot. Yeah. Well, before this started, we're also talking about the nuggets. By the time this comes out, you know, we'll kind of see what happens. But they're down what 3131 right now playing at home tonight. Elimination game. What do you think's going to happen if you had to predict. 00:23:26:23 - 00:23:49:18 Unknown Do they advance from the series yes or no. Oh I they can do it because they've won three games in a row before in the playoffs. Yes or no and yes or no EV I'm going to you got to say yes or no. I have to say yes like I want to say yes to because it's like there's no excuse not to win the series with and even Kenzo out right now. 00:23:49:19 - 00:24:05:20 Unknown Yeah. It's just our guys just have to, like, make buckets and like, play with some, like, adversity. Like, it's like they're playing like their backs aren't against the wall right now and they need to come out swinging. I think they can I'm going to say yes. I think they definitely win tonight. And then if we go I think we win a game seven. 00:24:05:20 - 00:24:22:08 Unknown So if we win tonight and we go into Minnesota and win, they should have never lost game two and three, though. That's the crazy thing. Well it's like they were up big in game two. They had a 19.1 quarter lead. Or maybe that was game three. No no it was game two. How did they lose it up. Yeah. 00:24:22:11 - 00:24:39:03 Unknown And yeah yeah. Now you're up two. You go into minutes you might lose one. But now you go. Now it's probably reversed. It's probably three one if they win game two. What do you say yes or no. I say yes, I say I think if Ant's out and de la Kenzo is that even though he's a good little role player. 00:24:39:04 - 00:24:56:24 Unknown Yeah. If those guys are out, I think, I think they get it done. But they have to come in and play with like a ten city locked in. They get a little sloppy. Yeah, they're not disciplined. They need to get some discipline and and go forward. But we'll see. And everyone said to like if they would have lost that last regular season game. 00:24:56:24 - 00:25:14:25 Unknown They get the rockets in the playoffs and the rockets are down three one to LA. And everyone's like oh Minnesota. Now they got Minnesota. They could have lost had the rockets. And everyone's like oh Minnesota's a different team. But like Minnesota is the Nuggets Achilles heel I feel like starts with the avalanche. Yeah exactly. You know it's like I would have rather had the rockets. 00:25:14:25 - 00:25:33:19 Unknown But if they can get past the Timberwolves then you know I think they they could do well. The one tough thing about that is like we're kind of dug our own grave here because now it's like we have no choice but to go seven games. So if we win in seven, San Antonio is going to be rested. There are long women and then we're going to. 00:25:33:21 - 00:25:48:18 Unknown Oh he's played last night. Oh yeah. But then it's like the turnaround from the first series to the second round is going to be a day or two on us now. It's just like we already kind of look a little like Tired and Glass and it's like so it's a good transition because number one I'd agree with that. 00:25:48:19 - 00:26:04:16 Unknown But there are pros and cons. You're saying no you don't. I think they win tonight and lose Minnesota. Yeah. If if you're not well I get like the rest thing. But sometimes it can also hurt you like you can be. You're not as fresh and maybe they can just keep that momentum going. Hey we won three in a row. 00:26:04:17 - 00:26:26:11 Unknown Now we go into San Antonio and win. Flip side talking about more Denver sports is the avalanche. I was really hoping they would lose selfishly. Game five, game four, because in game five would have been Wednesday here and I would have begged you for tickets. But now, I mean, now they're going to have 8 or 9 days. All the other series are pretty close. 00:26:26:11 - 00:26:46:08 Unknown Let's see. Like hockey I think is great where you get the Rask especially like our second round series is against Dallas or Minnesota, where that should honestly be the Western Conference finals, the NHL playoffs. Eating is ridiculous. So let those two teams beat the shit out of each other for the seven games where rest is big in hockey. 00:26:46:09 - 00:27:04:12 Unknown Yeah, you got your legs back and everything like so. I think that works in our advantage completely. I think the eyes are going to sweep their way through the Stanley Cup. I don't see anybody given this. What? It's so good. I mean, I agree it's a possibility, but hot playoff hockey is crazy though. Like anybody any I mean any given Sunday. 00:27:04:12 - 00:27:24:05 Unknown But like you can these if you get a hot goalie that's what it is. It's a hot goalie and we have the hottest one right. We do wedges on. I don't know much about hockey, but that was like do you like their hockey? Their keeper didn't lose a game keeper. So whatever. That's a good soccer term. But what's crazy is I saw that. 00:27:24:07 - 00:27:43:01 Unknown Do you goalie. He shot the free throw before the game. Oh really I think game two. Oh nice. That is the littlest dude. Yeah. He's tiny, isn't he. He is maybe like five seven. He looks five seven. Like 140 pounds. Oh wow. Where like NHL, NHL goalies now are massive. Yeah. And this guy I'm like, how did this guy just win a national title? 00:27:43:02 - 00:27:59:18 Unknown Well it's crazy I can't remember. I'll I'll butcher it for sure. Maybe we get him on the pot and ask him about it. But there was a a story of how he was like going D3 like, wasn't even good. And I guess the coach he had sent tape to do and coach was just kind of browsing and looking look back. 00:27:59:18 - 00:28:13:10 Unknown And he's like, wait, who's this guy? He already committed and they had an injury for their current goalie due. And they're like, we need to find another goalie. And they're like, oh, look at this tape from this guy. They went and watched him and they're like, hey, you can come to do. So. He goes and then he wins the starting role and he's just balling. 00:28:13:10 - 00:28:31:08 Unknown It's crazy. But the hockey guys are for the most part Avs have actually have a big team. They're pretty small but their legs are just like oh they're tree trunks. Yeah it's crazy. But yeah Wedgewood is like hot. And that's where like Patrick wa in the you know Stanley Cup. He was never a good regular season goalie ever. 00:28:31:14 - 00:28:53:00 Unknown And then when he was in the Stanley Cup when he was I mean we were kids growing up watching him. It's just like Liam wasn't born. Liam wasn't born. He was still swimming around. You know, it's it's crazy. So yeah, hopefully, hopefully the nuggets make a comeback and the Avs keep it going. Yeah keep it rolling I mean we could have two I mean we could have two parades I mean we could have two parades. 00:28:53:02 - 00:29:08:19 Unknown We're definitely going to get one here I think so too I think so too. We got I mean Denver sports right now is on fire. They're good. They're good man. The Broncos are looking good. Rockies just swept the Mets. Yeah Rockies have a young team I don't want to get too excited I got a young fun. Yeah I want to sing team. 00:29:08:20 - 00:29:24:13 Unknown I went to opening day where they were just awful. Yeah yeah yeah. It was 19 first. Yeah, yeah. It was like seven zero. Top of the first in the crowd was just dead. That's terrible. Here we go again. But no, I mean they're young. I mean, yeah, you never know what the Rockies because we could trade away all of our. 00:29:24:14 - 00:29:39:29 Unknown I don't even tell you one player on the Rock. No. Me neither. Honestly, neither. And I used to like love when it was, like, too low. And Charlie Blackmon. Helton. He's retired. Yeah. He's gone. I couldn't tell you. Can't tell you either, to be honest. But I'll start paying attention, man. If they keep doing what they're doing, man, I start paying attention. 00:29:40:02 - 00:30:00:28 Unknown You want to talk about the tournaments that we're thinking about doing? Yeah. Maybe get some customer feedback. Yeah. You know, and what we're doing. So we've got a couple things. We've got the Children's Hospital NICU event June 1st that's already sold out. That sells out in like a day. All the proceeds, 100% of all proceeds go back to Children's Hospital, which is really cool. 00:30:00:28 - 00:30:23:20 Unknown Raised over $20,000 last year from the tournament. And then so that's June 1st. That's going to be a good time. A couple different things that we've got going on. We've got our Vail Classic, which what are the dates of that? Is that July the 9th to the 12th of July. Yeah, yeah that's up. And Vail, the one concern we have and we were talking about it is the weather. 00:30:23:22 - 00:30:40:14 Unknown Like number one you get weather always every afternoon up in the mountains. But number two we're like in major drought. I was just going to say, man they're talking about like for these mountain courses that the runoff you know, they get obviously the runoff but normally they get divert it. You know it's like okay, well the water the snowmelt is all up there. 00:30:40:14 - 00:30:58:27 Unknown Even though there's not a lot of it. There's some the courses would get the water there saying like you're not touching any of that. Like, we're not going to pull any of this water. It needs to go straight down to Denver. And so you're left with like Mother Nature. And so people who come up and play and Vail, is the course going to be in good enough shape to host a tournament. 00:30:58:27 - 00:31:18:04 Unknown So we're kind of debating on do we add another tournament kind of mid-summer. And we've always had a block party, had a big party open house here at HQ. People have loved that. So curious to see like what you know, the fans say, should we open up another tournament? People asking about doing that? Yeah. I feel kind of working on this right now. 00:31:18:06 - 00:31:34:27 Unknown Yeah. I think either way you got to add like a party scramble. I just feel like those are the best. Those are fun. Where was that last year? Raccoon. Raccoon Creek. But we've changed it every year. Like two years ago, we did two men scrambles and they were more just like, come party, drink, have fun. If you want to take it serious, take it serious. 00:31:34:27 - 00:31:53:00 Unknown Last year, since there was ten grand on the line in Vegas, it was two man best ball. Just got more serious, which some people like, like you. But I feel like most of the guys in Denver and even just our people fly in for, yeah, our customers and fans, they just kind of want to come out and golf and party and have fun. 00:31:53:00 - 00:32:06:22 Unknown So I want to do a four man scramble. We talked about I love a four man scramble, but the only bad thing is the cheating. We need to bring you up out. So we should get yep for sure. And then we were like, we should just we have enough employees. We should just put an employee on every hole. 00:32:06:23 - 00:32:25:12 Unknown Yeah, or every two goals and just do the scorekeeper, especially after last year because the biggest sandbag grabber, Chase Campbell from Mile High Spirits I think one right one. And people like yelling at me for it. And I'm like, guys, I don't really know. Oh, and I love the scrambles. It's just the cheating aspect. And I love Chase. 00:32:25:14 - 00:32:42:08 Unknown Yeah, I know that's friends in the world, but I know so he's not that good. Yeah, yeah, I forgot about the drama. So I think we do need to score keep I think we need to score keep. And then we can do the party here the night before. That's always a good time. I think we got to do it that way. 00:32:42:09 - 00:32:57:11 Unknown Yeah, but we'll see. Let us know what you guys want to see. Yeah. Yeah, that'd be cool. I think we should though. And then can of rumors of another NICU. But we'll see. Yeah. We're kind of looking on that if we could raise more money for the kids and we might as well. Right? Yeah, yeah. Amen. Cause that one's on a Monday, so it's not as hard to set up. 00:32:57:11 - 00:33:15:15 Unknown And. Yeah, that one's a little more serious, especially if that's close to your heart. Yeah. What's what you're involved in 100%. Yeah. And it's always good to give back to the kids. So, Yeah, there's some good. Curious to see what everybody says is like, should we do another tournament? If we do, what should the format be? What should we do here? 00:33:15:21 - 00:33:29:05 Unknown Before we wrap it up, you should talk about grass league. Oh, because I was trying to talk about it last week. Do you know anything about this? The Blake Pride doesn't even know. And I was kind of butchering it. I've learned more in the last week, but we had one of our guys go playing it last week. And there's actually some silver lining. 00:33:29:05 - 00:33:46:26 Unknown Good news about missing that. So grass League is like this par three event at grass clippings rolling hills in Arizona. And it's just like under the lights. And it's a par three. It's kind of like a mini league. And there's a bunch of different team owners. I don't want to compare it to live, but it's like, you know, you got the Minnesota muskies. 00:33:46:27 - 00:34:08:26 Unknown You know what a good owns a team golfer going comparable to it's probably ice cubes. Three and three. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. It's kind of like that. And so there was a qualifier and there's like a hundred teams, two men scramble on a par three. The top 22 or 23 teams of the hundred teams go into the draft. 00:34:09:03 - 00:34:25:22 Unknown And you got to shoot like six this. This year it was 600. So you got to just shoot 600 and a par three course, two man scramble for 18 for 18 holes. And Zachary and our other buddy went down there and they played in it and they shot 300, which is crazy. I'm not even going to get into it of like how awful that is. 00:34:25:24 - 00:34:48:10 Unknown Liam and I could have shot 660 and he was not happy. Six so they go down there, but you shoot and then from there, if you're a top 23 teams, you would get drafted onto the other teams that are already existing and you'd get to play in the grass leagues and there's like real money, 1500, 150,000 $950,000 first prize, like the process for first for first. 00:34:48:11 - 00:35:08:21 Unknown Now there's there's an interesting thing. There's caveat because the guy read all this, if you were to own the team, the owner gets the 150 grand. Oh, and then he pays his players and he has to pay him up to 12%, no less than 12%. So he ain't living that up a month. So 15 grand. Yes. Per per whatever. 00:35:08:21 - 00:35:22:26 Unknown If you're a pro, I don't know the exact logistics on it, but it's good marketing and branding. Next year, I want to go down with you. I think we could shoot six. That's good content. Why doesn't pass by a team? Well, how does that how much like a franchise? Oh, okay. I was like, it must be pretty hard to buy. 00:35:23:01 - 00:35:46:13 Unknown It's a lot of money. I don't know how to get some. Probably. And but. So Ben the other guy played the played was the key. He was talking to Grassley's about it. They want you to have access to a par three course in your state. So if we were going to do Colorado, you got to have access to a par three course to potentially expand and have events held at your par three course, which might be tough to get. 00:35:46:14 - 00:36:09:10 Unknown I'm sure we could find a par three course in Colorado. There's several of them hole or nine, because I can only it was nine because I can only think of like three. Par three is like not would. It's not many. I think that's it. I can think of well Harvard guilt and so like silverleaf has a par three course on like like so does Cherry Hills or Bear Creek has three course you know and but could they be a part of it. 00:36:09:12 - 00:36:31:26 Unknown But the good news is, is the PGA tour bans you from playing on any PGA tour related event if you're in the grass leagues. Really? Yes. So if Sakai would have made it. Oh, boom. Done with Korn Ferry, done with PGA tour. It's kind of like what happened with Wesley Brian and not getting led into the PGA tour event because he did some YouTube with the live got guys, you know in the live. 00:36:31:27 - 00:36:49:23 Unknown So it's a lifetime ban I don't know if it's lifetime. It's just you can't do it while you're on the grass leagues. So I'm like well what about Wyndham. Like he's he's the team owner. Cold knows he doesn't play on the PGA tour anymore. A lot of these guys don't slow. That being said is the key. Has a few Mondays and a few things we want to do with the corn fairy this year. 00:36:49:23 - 00:37:10:12 Unknown He went have been able to do it if he got in. So kind of a silver lining of him. Not should I not do the grass because you're not. Want to give up my corn? Yeah. You're very good. No more Mondays for you. Yeah. So that's qualifying. Yeah. That's that's tough. It's a tough scene. But yeah. So if you make the team whatever you get drafted onto a team, you're in the league. 00:37:10:14 - 00:37:28:26 Unknown So there's like a Minnesota team or whatever whatever. So how would that you would travel around and play. It's like a full time thing. Yeah. Yeah yeah I think it's just at right now I think it's just in Arizona they do it a couple times a year maybe. I think they're trying to expand it or like, hey, every month, you know, you go some different state that has access to the part three. 00:37:29:00 - 00:37:46:05 Unknown And then I take it the team owner with like pay travel and that's that's where the sponsorship comes up. Wow. Yeah. So when you get drafted to a team, are you on that team or do they redraft every event? I think on the season you're on that team. You're on that team. At the end of the season, the owners have to like get rid of team people. 00:37:46:07 - 00:38:03:02 Unknown People like drop out, you know, of like, okay, I'm not doing this next year. Whatever you probably got to pay to, to get down there to where people probably just. Yeah. But like I think Johnny Manziel played in it. Right? He beats the guy's ass. He beats a guy who you came in as part of something. Yeah. They didn't make it, but they I don't know who beat him was. 00:38:03:03 - 00:38:21:13 Unknown That's so disappointing. I know it was so funny because all of us here, like, we felt bad. I mean, you know, golf, it's like you just maybe didn't make a putt. You said it was windy. Whatever the case was, the guy walks back in Friday morning. Nick's like, well, that was fucking pathetic. First thing he says, everyone else is like, oh, sorry you didn't go. 00:38:21:14 - 00:38:42:27 Unknown Well, that was fucking pathetic. The guys like, yeah, it wasn't my best. And he's like, no, seriously, you suck. I'm like, nice man. So no mercy water. So you brought up Wesley Brian? He just started kind of his own thing too, didn't he? Yeah. On that. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but yeah, something like that with like, greater influencer type thing. 00:38:42:27 - 00:39:08:18 Unknown And he's gonna have millions really think that that's going to take over this influencer crater. It'll be interesting to see what happens with the industry and with the with the sport, because it's going to start getting to the point where the persons are like kind of similar to the PGA. Like I genuinely because some of these brands, man who aren't allowed on the PGA for whatever reason, are going to start throwing money at these invitational internet invitationals, and it's going to be really it's going to not as much as live, I don't think, or anything, but like it'll be interesting to see. 00:39:08:19 - 00:39:29:15 Unknown You might not competition these creators with like an AP Automator or like Netjets sponsorships, but you're going to be seeing them pushing Colgate or not NASCAR, you know what I mean? My back like and it's also and I wanted to ask you guys opinion on this because it's getting to it reminds me a lot of like when in the NBA it's really only NBA. 00:39:29:15 - 00:39:41:29 Unknown But when players will like sit out, you know what I mean. They're not hurt. They just want to rest. We're starting to see that in the I mean I shouldn't say starting, but it's getting more popular to see PGA like Rory. You know he's like I'm only going to play the what I want to play, you know, why wouldn't you? 00:39:41:29 - 00:39:57:00 Unknown So it'll be interesting to see if that starts to like the fans. Like well you know what? Fine. But I get to watch Bob does sports and all these guys so I can see every day. And they're not going to sit out. They know, you know, that's a hell of an opportunity. And it'll be interesting to see if the fans are like, do you think it's bad for the sport for people like Rory to sit out there? 00:39:57:03 - 00:40:16:11 Unknown Because Rory's also to piggyback off that, because we're always such a traditionalist. So like, how is that going to affect both worlds? Like, and you're well, remember when Rory won the Masters last year? He missed the he already missed a signature, which was the century at Kapalua before the Masters in January. He's like, I don't want to go out to Y and do that. 00:40:16:11 - 00:40:34:15 Unknown So PGA tour players are required to play in all of the signature events. If you're exempt to them, like Rory, the top players, because they want the top players in the top events with the biggest sponsors that like Rory's going to be here, right? Obviously it's a draw. So Rory missed the century, which was a signature event. You're allowed to miss one okay. 00:40:34:16 - 00:40:51:12 Unknown After he won the Masters, then he's like, I'm not playing RBC. And that was two. So they find him. I think it was 15% or 20% of his Pip, which ended up being $3 million. Yeah, that's a lot because he got second in the Pip. Tiger always wins and he's you know so he got it was like five 3 million. 00:40:51:12 - 00:41:09:07 Unknown So they're trying to prevent people from bailing. But if you're a Rory it's like okay take some of my Pip. I've got hundreds of millions. I'm going to play in my event. And I don't think it's a problem except for Rory. It's a bad look, but I don't think it's a big deal that he's doing that. So. But I mean, yeah, they want to get people to play him. 00:41:09:07 - 00:41:26:10 Unknown The thing with the creator network that they're building out in these tournaments is I hope it's inclusive. I think people are starting to get frustrated with like, it's the same guys. It's these creators. The creators are bugging me, which I liked about grass leagues. It's like you could be any Joe Schmo. And if you're if you got game, you can come play. 00:41:26:13 - 00:41:43:18 Unknown So I'm hoping this creators it's not just Barstool 2.0 and it's just you got to be not just good good in basketball. They should have like, hey, here's a qualifying event. And you could be, you know Liam, you could be whoever. It's like, you know. Or does DB like you have no falling but you're good. You can get in. 00:41:43:19 - 00:41:59:13 Unknown I think they were talking about doing that of having like an open to get in and get some really good players because otherwise it's just great trails. You know there's YouTube golfers that are really, really good and they're going to win. The rest of them are like, yeah, they're fun to watch, but they're not good. Yeah that's good. 00:41:59:14 - 00:42:16:29 Unknown Like, you know, they get a good following or whatever. Yeah, they have a good following but they're not good. That's a good point you know. So it'd be interesting to see I like the idea maybe of like blending the two together, like having, you know, let's say like a four people, you know, team, four people on team or scramble two are influencers or whatever you want to call it. 00:42:16:29 - 00:42:35:21 Unknown And then you have people who have been drafted or whatever, like jokes that'd be fun, that are good. Something like that. Yeah. That made the cut or yeah, I agree, that'd be fun. Yeah, I agree. It'll be interesting because it is cool to see, like when Bob does sports through their Joe versus schmo and Riggs does his hater things like it's cool to see the normal guy, like, go on camera and like how he handles that. 00:42:35:22 - 00:42:51:27 Unknown But like, you know, you can watch the Barstool guys play against each other all day. It's like, fuck me. It's the same thing all the time. But it's cool to see, like if the ZB would have qualified if he's playing against Grant Horvat, you know what happens. So we'll see. I think you would wipe the floor with Grant Horvath. 00:42:51:29 - 00:43:10:27 Unknown I would love to see that match, honestly. So yeah, it would be clip that. Yeah. With that. Yeah. Cool. Anything else we got coming up? We want to chat about any new drops coming out. Yeah. There's well maybe to talk about. We do have a summer drop coming. We got two new bag colorways dropping. Is this podcast come on me out? 00:43:11:03 - 00:43:33:00 Unknown Yeah. Bags will be dropped. Bags will be dropped. Crispy. That glacier, the glacier blue, which is super nice. And then I don't even. It's in the bottom right. That bottom right at an electric car not electric. It's crazy. It's the craziest color bag you've ever seen. It's like phosphorescent. Yeah, like bright construction. It's a very. Yeah, but it's more of like a it's just hard to explain. 00:43:33:00 - 00:43:52:23 Unknown It's like super, super bright really excited about that. So we've got those bags launching and now we're kind of like into summer. It's weird. It's cold this week and you know the next like next week a little bit. And then it starts to get a little nicer. So coming into summer golf looking forward to it. I mean we've been in summer golf though, so we could take a couple a couple of weeks. 00:43:52:24 - 00:44:08:26 Unknown Yeah, the rain will be good. Yeah. We need the rain Colorado needs it bad, bad, bad. Are you playing in the memory? Guess. Friday? Yeah. Are you. Who are you playing at? The dew thing. Oh that's right, that's right. You're at the weather. I play with Matt Meyer every year. It's a one day member. Guessed that 36 of them. 00:44:08:28 - 00:44:30:06 Unknown Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah. What's his handicap? 36. Yeah. You shouldn't be able to play an event. How is that fair? He's getting two pops. Yeah, well, it's 80%. He makes a point, makes three pars. You know that's three eagles. It's 80%. His first putt is his t shirt. Yeah, literally. You've seen his swing I might need to grow the swing out. 00:44:30:09 - 00:44:49:12 Unknown It's crazy. It is crazy. But craziest thing you've ever seen. But we'll see how that goes. Yeah. Kind of kicking it off. So cool. Sounds good. Yeah, yeah, I guess tonight and abs next series, but cool. Thanks for tuning in, guys, and let us know. Like I said at the beginning of the pod, we we want to know more of what you want to hear more of what you want to see. 00:44:49:15 - 00:44:57:16 Unknown And like I said, we're excited for guerrilla sports and what's to come. A lot more of closed course coming your way. Be sure to comment, like and subscribe and we'll see you next week. See you guys.  

In this episode of Tea and Crumpets, Will Brown and Adam Eagleston dive into a rapidly evolving geopolitical and economic landscape shaped by escalating tensions in the Middle East. With a fragile ceasefire in place and ongoing uncertainty surrounding key shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz, the conversation explores how quickly conditions on the ground, and in the markets, are shifting. They highlight the difficulty of interpreting real-time information in an environment flooded with conflicting narratives and misinformation. At the center of the discussion is the global energy market, where disruptions to oil supply chains are already creating ripple effects. Will and Adam unpack the complexities of oil pricing, the divergence between spot and futures markets, and the downstream consequences for inflation, supply chains, and consumer costs. They explain how restricted access to critical shipping lanes and selective distribution of oil are distorting global trade flows, while also emphasizing how energy shocks historically increase the likelihood of recession. Beyond energy, the episode expands into broader economic risks, including weakening consumer sentiment, a softening labor outlook, and structural challenges tied to AI disruption and private credit markets. Will and Adam outline three major threats facing the economy (geopolitical conflict, financial system fragility, and workforce disruption) while also acknowledging the surprising resilience of equity markets so far. Despite the uncertainty, they close with a balanced perspective: volatility may create meaningful risks, but it also opens the door for selective opportunities in a rapidly changing investment landscape.

Steve Gorman spent nearly three decades providing the backbeat for one of rock's most turbulent bands — and he's got the memoir to prove it. In his book, “Hard to Handle,” the Black Crowes' drummer laid bare the dysfunction, drama, and grind of life inside a band that was as volatile offstage as it was electric on it. Now, with the Crowes nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Gorman deep into a new project — the supergroup Howl Owl Howl, alongside Hootie & the Blowfish's Darius Rucker and R.E.M.'s Mike Mills — he's got plenty of perspective on what it takes to survive a legendary band, trust the groove, and enjoy the ride.

We are talking about the last Kanye album on the list and it is a tough listen so we eventually talk Hootie and the Blowfish. We talk singing songs at the retirement home, Rosie's best day ever at Glowfari, and Russell meets a guy who is smart enough to realize how smart Russell is.    Then we have the Vegas awards and we talk about this Kanye album that probably should have been a tip off that something was up.  Then we get so depressed that we listen to some Hootie as a palate cleanser.  Next week we are talking Kacey Musgrave and Golden Hour.

Send us a textWhat if the life many men are chasing—success, intimacy, freedom—actually sits on the other side of healing? In this episode of At the Podium, Patrick Huey sits down with Zarak Fatah, a transformational coach and former serial entrepreneur, for a candid conversation about masculinity, trauma, faith, and the work of healing. Zarak reflects on growing up as the son of Pakistani immigrants in Canada, the impact of bullying and shame on his identity, and how those early wounds fueled both ambition and avoidance—ultimately leading him to open one of Toronto's most iconic restaurants, Blowfish. Together, Patrick and Zarak explore why so many men and boys are struggling today with who they are in the world, the role of fatherhood and male role models, the cost of numbing behaviors (alcohol, drugs, pornography), and what real manhood looks like beyond performance and achievement. This is a conversation about responsibility, integrity, and choosing healing over avoidance.

In this episode, I'm joined by musician and songwriter Francis Dunnery for a wide-ranging and deeply personal conversation. Francis Dunnery is best known as the lead singer and guitarist for the British prog-pop band It Bites. After leaving the band in 1990, he launched a diverse solo career, releasing over ten original albums spanning progressive rock, pop, folk, R&B, and blues. A versatile musician, Dunnery has also worked extensively as a sideman and musical contributor for major artists, including Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin), Carlos Santana, Lauryn Hill, Chris Difford (Squeeze) James Sonefeld (Hootie and The Blowfish and Ian Brown (The Stone Roses).We talk about growing up in 1970s Britain, nostalgia, memory, creativity, and how those experiences have shaped his new project, England's Tales of the Council House Kid. From music and storytelling to youth, ageing, and the moments that define us, this is a thoughtful, funny, and honest chat with an artist still very much following his own path.For details of the Feb '26 tour and links to Francis's website see below;https://francisdunnery.com/Question or comment?

Send us a textNew Orleans' own Cowboy Mouth—the self-described “southern gospel revival without the religion”—are bringing their high-energy rock ‘n' roll celebration back to St. Louis this Saturday, November 8th, for a one-night-only show at the Old Rock House. The stop marks part of their Cover Yo' Azz album tour and coincides with their 35th anniversary—a milestone for one of America's most enduring and electrifying live bands. Tickets available here.For those who've never witnessed the frenzy firsthand, Cake Magazine captured it best:“On a bad night they will blow the roof off the place. On a good night Cowboy Mouth will save your soul.”Frontman Fred LeBlanc, along with John Thomas Griffith, Brian “Bruiser” Broussard, and Frank Grocholski, have built their reputation not just on loud guitars and big choruses—but on turning every show into a life-affirming party that leaves the audience breathless and grinning. And this weekend's St. Louis stop promises exactly that.A New Album, 11 Years in the MakingEarlier this year, Cowboy Mouth dropped their first album of newly recorded material in over a decade—Cover Yo' Azz, a rowdy and reverent collection of cover songs that honors some of rock's most influential artists. The ten-track record reimagines tunes by R.E.M., The Who, Queen, Frank Sinatra, Cher, The Replacements, Fats Domino, and even Hootie & the Blowfish, featuring a guest appearance by Hootie's Mark Bryan on guitar.The band breathes New Orleans grit and charm into each song, turning classics like “The Real Me” (The Who) and “Can't Hardly Wait” (The Replacements) into punchy, modern rock anthems. The album is available now on Spotify and SoundCloud.Critics have been quick to applaud the band's approach. Mystic Sons praised it as “a joyride dressed in ripped denim,” while York Calling called the album “charismatic, soulful, and expertly performed.” Americana Highways perhaps said it best:“Performed with expertise, finesse, and style... the album summed up is a hoot.”Fred LeBlanc Joins The Tippy Jo ShowAhead of the St. Louis concert, Cowboy Mouth's larger-than-life frontman Fred LeBlanc joined Tippy on The Tippy Jo Show, part of The Barn Media's podcast lineup. The conversation dove deep into the band's legacy, their Louisiana roots, and Fred's signature onstage energy that transforms every Cowboy Mouth performance into something between a rock concert and a revival meeting.True to form, Fred's humor and humanity shone through the interview—equal parts laughter, storytelling, and that unmistakable “let it go” spirit that has powered Cowboy Mouth since their debut album Are You With Me? in 1992.www.BetterHelp.com/TheBarnhttp://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and brought to you as always by The Barn Media Group.

Based on his experiences on both sides of the record store counter, Peter Holsapple lovingly pokes a little fun at obsessive music nerds on a track from his new solo album : "I got A Love Supreme / I got a Soft Machine / I got the Dave Clark Five / I got Slade Alive / I got a Shonen Knife / I got Repeat When Necessary, Repeat When Necessary. I'm that kind of guy!" Yep, we're those kind of guys...and fortunately Peter is too, because he is our Third Lad this week! This week's discussion revolves around our Top 5 Debut Solo Albums - in other words, the first album released by an artist apart from or after their well known group. While you'd have to go back to 1997 for Peter Holsapple's official debut solo album, he's arguably just released his best yet - The Face of 68, out now on Label 51 Recordings. It's a tight, lean, rocking affair that finds the dB's singer/songwriter's knack for melody and songcraft still incredibly sharp after roughly 50 years of making records. Along with a deep dive into The Face of 68, we also chat about his proto-punk beginnings with Little Diesel, being shown how it's done by the legendary Alex Chilton, life on the road with R.E.M. and Hootie and the Blowfish, supergroup collectives the Continental Drifters, the Salt Collective, and the Big Star Quintet, and the flurry of dB's related activity including Propeller Sound Recordings reissue campaign and 2024's reunion shows.

Kate Flannery and Oscar Nuñez had a mini "Office" reunion on last night's season finale of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and went ALL THE WAY! (You'd know them as Meredith and Oscar on the show.) They even called up Brian Baumgartner (Kevin) for their "Phone-a-Friend" lifeline. As for the million-dollar question? "The word 'planet' comes from an ancient Greek word that literally means what?" Their options were "powerful," "immortal," "stranger," and "wanderer" . . . the answer being "wanderer". Kate and Oscar will be splitting their winnings between Planned Parenthood and a Philadelphia-based food bank called Philabundance. Fresh off Coachella comes Stagecoach!

Judas Priest and Ozzy's family released a new version of “War Pigs” after missing Black Sabbath's farewell show. Halford called it a career highlight: “It's the first duet I've ever done with Ozzy, and I'm eternally grateful.” Proceeds go to the Glenn Tipton Parkinson's Foundation and Cure Parkinson's, honoring both Tipton's and Ozzy's battles with the disease.Taylor Swift Heading to FallonTaylor Swift is taking The Life of a Showgirl to late night. She'll appear on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on October 6, just three days after her album release and one day after fiancé Travis Kelce's birthday. Fallon teased the appearance in a cryptic roulette-themed post landing on Swift's lucky number, 13. This marks Taylor's seventh Tonight Show stop, alongside guests Keri Russell and a performance from The Format.Queen Eyeing Vegas Sphere ResidencyBrian May says Queen is seriously considering a Las Vegas Sphere residency after seeing the Eagles perform there. He told Rolling Stone, “The kind of show we could put on would be absolutely stupendous.” While May admits he's weary of traditional touring after 50 years, the Sphere could give the band a spectacular new stage without the grind of life on the road. Katie Couric pokes fun at Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad in a new PSA for colon cancer screenings. The clip opens to a close-up of Katie wearing a jean jacket, and quickly pans out to show she's wearing a hospital gown underneath, and she's on a gurney getting ready for a colonoscopy. She tells the camera, quote, "Speaking of genes. Did you know that the majority of people who develop colon cancer are not genetically predisposed to the disease? That's why doctors recommend everyone 45 and older get checked." Katie told "People" magazine, quote, "That ad showed how pop culture and a pair of jeans could really shape the cultural conversation, it was everywhere. It was a moment in time, and we thought, 'Why don't we ride that horse a little bit longer and have some fun with it?'" It'sbeen 25 years since Katie became the first person in history to broadcast a colonoscopy on national TV. She lost her husband to colon cancer in 1998. He was only 42. One of the most famous homes in American history is opening its doors to the public for the first time ever. The "Brady Bunch" house in North Hollywood will be accessible to fans on November 7th, 8th, and 9th. And while bookings are sold out, you can register to be on a waitlist, or be notified if additional dates become available. When the show was in production back in the day, the house was only used for EXTERIOR shots. The inside of the Brady home was created on a soundstage, and the inside of the actual house looked nothing like it. But HGTV bought the house in 2018, and renovated it so that it DOES match the house from the show. And of course, they recorded it for a series called "A Very Brady Renovation". Alyssa Milano, now 52, announced on Instagram that she underwent surgery to remove her breast implants—calling it a step toward reclaiming her body. She wrote that she's letting go of “false narratives” and a body she felt was “sexualized” and “abused.” Page Six+2People.com+2Milano said she once believed implants were essential to being attractive, loved, or successful—but now emphasizes that her worth doesn't depend on them. People.com+2The Cut+2 She also expressed hope that her 11-year-old daughter will be spared similar pressure. Page Six+1She made clear this was her personal decision and not a judgment on others who choose differently. People.com+2The Cut+2 After the procedure, she posted she's resting comfortably and thanked fans for their support. Sacha Baron Cohen, 53, has been spotted on a dinner date with 27-year-old OnlyFans creator Hannah Palmer, just months after finalizing his $75 million divorce from Isla Fisher. Page SixThe pair were seen leaving the restaurant separately before getting into the same Cadillac Escalade. Page Six+1Sources say they first met at Taika Waititi's 50th birthday party in Ibiza, with Rita Ora reportedly introducing them. Although the age gap raised eyebrows, insiders say they “seemed to be getting on really well.” Page Six+1Cohen and Fisher married in 2010, share three children, and announced their split in 2024 before finalizing the divorce this past June. Action legend Chuck Norris, now 85, marked his birthday by hiking Lassen Peak in Northern California—a strenuous trail rising to 10,457 feet. The round-trip journey spans about 5 miles and climbs 2,000 feet, often taking 4 to 5 hours to complete. Outside OnlineOn Instagram, Norris reflected on the trail's long recovery since the 2021 Dixie Fire, saying while the damage is heartbreaking, “the park's beauty still shines through.” Outside Online+2Active NorCal+2 He also credited his wife for introducing him to the region's natural splendor. It's official: HBO Max wants to traumatize your children. What other reason could there be for them to produce a brand new, animated version of "Charlotte's Web", one of the greatest children's stories ever told . . . until it becomes the most heart-wrenchingly brutal story in the history of mankind? This one is a limited series, told in three parts, which will all be released on Thursday, October 2nd. It stars Amy Adams as Charlotte, Elijah Wood as Wilbur the pig, and Jean Smart as the narrator. The voice cast also includes Cynthia Erivo, Randall Park, and Rosario Dawson.

Week 3 Preview

In S5Ep8 of the PRP, Adam symposiums with decades-long distance runner, decorated Wayne State alum, physical therapy powerhouse, multifaceted running coach and proud mama bear, Dr. Lauren Couls, who has been preparing for the Red Moon Trail 25K on August 9th, 2025. Jen Rock Buslepp, Wayne State hall of famer, Olympic Trials qualifier, mama bear extraordinaire and blossoming photographer joins the show to offer her take on running burnout, mom brain and of course, the Ninja Turtles.Buckle up as the squad unpacks how Lauren's PT and coaching approach has evolved—from prescribing fixes to fostering lightbulb moments. By guiding athletes to discover answers for themselves, she sparks lasting growth and resilience; shifting runners' perspectives on body mechanics and training strategies in the long run (pun intended) instead of just slapping bandaids on injuries.Things get vulnerable when the trio digs into the hard questions around coaching, healing, and stewardship. What happens when your body says pause but your identity screams run? How do you balance competitiveness with compassion—for yourself and others? And how can each of us support this community, even when we're not the ones pinning on the bib?For both Lauren & Jen, that journey has meant evolving from high-level competitors to coaches, healers, and now moms. Deconstructing their identities as runners, then slowly rebuilding them hasn't always been easy, but that process has sharpened their perspective, deepened their empathy, and made them more attuned to what really matters. Together, the crew explores what it means to grow with the sport rather than against it: redefining success, embracing rest, finding identity beyond medals and splits, and guiding athletes to run not just stronger but smarter - all while cultivating a deeper relationship with the sport and, in turn, with themselves.Ummm, triple stroller Guinness World Record?!? Hootie & the Blowfish singalongs??? Gilligan's Island & Andy Griffith (yeah we old)! Jesus, is that you? Tornadoes, Facebook pokes and bilateral FAI, oh my!This and so much more in a laughter-filled, wisdom-packed, and deeply heartfelt running mama edition of the PRP.

When a child dies, some say their spirit lingers—not to haunt, but to remind us that love never truly fades. This gripping, emotional true story—told on Real Ghost Stories Online—follows a man devastated by the loss of his infant son. After countless attempts to have a child, the couple finally welcomed a baby boy. But joy quickly turned to heartbreak. The child passed away from complications just a month after birth… and what followed was a spiral of unbearable grief. The father, broken and drunk, was found sobbing at his child's grave, clutching a handgun. The police standoff could've ended in tragedy. But somehow, it didn't. What happened next, however, was just as unexplainable. On a visit to the cemetery, the car radio turned on by itself—blaring “Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails. Out of a 5-disc CD changer with dozens of tracks, that one song began playing. Later that night, the same exact song played again—on a mainstream pop radio station known for Goo Goo Dolls and Hootie & the Blowfish, not industrial rock. And then… the baby's bedroom light turned on. No one was in the house. No one had touched a switch. They turned it off. It turned back on. Something was trying to get their attention. #RealGhostStories #ParanormalActivity #BabySpirit #GriefHaunting #TrueGhostStory #HurtNineInchNails #RadioParanormal #UnexplainedLights #GhostSigns #SpiritOfTheDead #BaltimoreHaunting #RealHauntingPodcast Love real ghost stories?

Front man of Hootie & the Blowfish, and Country Superstar, Darius explains his musical journey. He conquered both Pop/Rock and Country radio, selling over 30 million albums.

Dale  Earnhardt Jr. welcomes Top-40 music artist and longtime NASCAR fan Edwin McCain to the Download to chat about his journey from a humble, local music scene to writing one of the most memorable songs in history. Edwin also shares how Dale Jr.'s 2001 July Daytona win had a profound impact on his life.  After being born in Greenville, South Carolina, Edwin was put up for adoption but admits he has never sought out much information about his biological mother. Dale and Edwin relate on the experience of asking parents hard questions at the end of their lives to get the real picture of their upbringing. Edwin explains he began playing music at an early age after struggling in school due to dyslexia. He and Dale chat about the music they enjoyed growing up and what musicians were a major influence on Edwin, and led him to pick up a guitar.Edwin gives listeners an idea of what the music scene was like in the mid-90s, when he, Dave Matthews and Hootie and the Blowfish were finding their way to major record label contracts. Edwin admits that his signing was largely thanks to the kindness of Hootie, who asked Atlantic Records to give him a shot. After an underperforming debut, in part due to Edwin's disconnection from the project, Edwin saved his career with the smash hit “I'll Be,” which remains one of the greatest love songs ever written. Edwin talks candidly about developing an addiction problem and his journey to rehab. Today, he is on the other side of hardship and celebrating the release of his new album “Lucky,” which is his first new release in almost 15 years.Dirty Mo Media is launching a new e-commerce merch line!

Join Opie, Matt and the crew for a rowdy live stream at Gebhards, where free beers flow and the tangents fly. This week, we’re diving into a distracted barber’s Trump-Zelensky-inspired haircut disaster (now fixed for $35), Ron’s Swiss cheese underwear crisis, and a heated debate about Tesla’s flip from hippie dream to MAGA symbol—complete with tariffs, Elon’s billions, and a side of Hootie and the Blowfish disdain. Special guests include Scott Arsenault, who won’t shut up about craft beer, and Dick Cox (yes, it’s real), our Confederate soldier turned Homeland Security paper-pusher. Plus, tales of car-sex voyeurism, subway push-a-roos, and a blackout party that turned NYC into an oyster-fueled rave. Cheers to the absurdity—grab a brew and tune in!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
