Words by Angela CroudaceAfter nearly a decade, Motion City Soundtrack is heading back to Australia, ready to light up stages with their energetic performances. HEAVY caught up with bassist Matt Taylor and guitarist Josh Cain to discuss the tour, their new music, and the exciting moments ahead."It's been 10 years, we're really ready to come back," Matt grins. "It's great to get some sunshine down there!" The band's excitement is palpable as they prepare to join Yellowcard and Plain White T's for their 20th anniversary celebrations. Josh adds, "We've always had similar energy to Yellowcard. Songs like Ocean Avenue really aren't that far off from something we'd write. It's going to be a great match!"While their last Australian shows were a decade ago, the energy between the bands remains strong. The tour is sure to ignite memories for fans and bring fresh experiences, especially with the band's evolving sound.Despite the excitement, there's no denying the challenges of long-distance travel. "It's brutal," Josh jokes about the gruelling flights from Minnesota to Perth. "But we're going to fly out a day early just to acclimate so Justin's not a zombie on stage!" Justin, the band's vocalist, is known for his all-or-nothing approach, which makes this extra preparation crucial for the band's success.The band is also gearing up to release new music after their hiatus, with fans eagerly anticipating their upcoming record. "Stop Talking was a little different for us, structure-wise, but we've been evolving as songwriters," Matt explains. "We've been taking the time to lean into what makes us unique while also embracing our influences."Josh adds, "It's been great to get this time to grow as writers. The new music really feels like a mix of everything we've done before, but it's fresh. I think fans are going to love it."As for their time off the road? Both Matt and Josh value their downtime, and Josh explains, "These days, I just enjoy existing, walking around cities, and hanging out with the guys."With new music, the return to Australia, and the chance to reunite with fans, Motion City Soundtrack is ready for a memorable and electrifying tour ahead.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Say thanks and learn more about our podcast sponsor Omnisend. In this episode of *The WP Minute+*, Matt sits down with recurring guest Mark Szymanski to discuss the evolving role of AI in their daily workflows. From creating content and writing code to experimenting with tools like Claude and Cursor, they explore both the promises and frustrations of AI-powered solutions. Matt shares his journey of using AI for coding a personal project, detailing the challenges of token limits, tooling decisions, and bridging gaps in technical knowledge. Mark highlights his experience creating WordPress plugins with AI assistance and provides insights into how AI has revolutionized his content creation process.  The conversation also covers broader implications for AI in industries like development, marketing, and content creation, as well as concerns about its commoditization and future pricing models. Both Matt and Mark agree that while AI is still far from being an independent problem-solver, it has already proven to be a game-changing assistant.  ## Key Takeaways  ### AI in Coding:- Tools like Claude and Cursor can help non-developers create functional code, though human oversight is essential.  - Cursor, a coding environment integrated with Claude, significantly streamlines workflows by auto-applying changes to files.  - Prompt engineering and token management are critical skills for effectively using AI in coding.  ### AI in Content Creation:- AI can save time by generating YouTube chapters, video titles, and descriptions from transcripts.  - Tools like Claude are better for processing large transcripts, while ChatGPT excels in brainstorming creative ideas.  - AI is still limited in generating high-quality thumbnails, though it can provide useful prompts for design tools.  ### Future of AI:- Commoditization of AI tools could lead to higher costs, restricting access to advanced features.  - AI is more of a junior assistant than an independent creator, requiring human guidance to produce optimized results.  - As AI continues to evolve, industries may see dramatic shifts in productivity and accessibility.## Important URLs Mentioned  - *The WP Minute+* Podcast: [thewpminute.com/subscribe](https://thewpminute.com/subscribe)  - Mark Szymanski's Links and Newsletter: [mjs.bio](https://mjs.bio)  - ConvertKit (Now Kit): [kit.com](https://kit.com)  For more insights and updates, don't forget to subscribe to *The WP Minute+*!

Live from the Rockwool studios, Matt talks with Brian Long to explore the challenges and advancements in the custom home building industry. They emphasize the need for higher standards in construction, including licensing for general contractors and increased education through trade schools. Their conversation highlights strategies to compete against lower-cost builders by focusing on detailed budgets, premium materials, and superior waterproofing, offering long-term value to clients. Matt and Brian delve into the importance of proper budgeting, explaining how missing line items, such as rain screens or high-end windows, often lead to underestimated costs. They discuss cutting-edge products like Illuma Flash waterproofing systems and Brombal's Italian-made windows, showcasing how modern innovations enhance durability, efficiency, and aesthetics. In an industry where building science evolves rapidly, these materials are crucial for creating homes that withstand environmental challenges, especially in modern architectural designs with minimal tolerance for error. Additionally, they underscore the importance of professionalism and client education.

Dave's birthday show!! Both Matt and Dave are banged up but here for a Monday! 

Patreon voted for this, so we're diving deep into the world of weed and hip-hop with Luniz (yes, their name is pronounced "Loonies") and their 1995 hit "I Got 5 On It." Both Matt and I were blown away by just how massive this song was when it dropped—contrary to what you might think, it was already a Top 10 hit long before it was resurrected by Jordan Peele's movie Us. And let's not forget, Luniz boasts the most insane logo we've ever seen—seriously, it's GROSS and hilarious. Join us as we explore the highs (and lows) of Luniz's career and decide if they had more to offer or if "I Got 5 On It" was their one big hit that went up in smoke faster than a well-lit joint.

In this episode of Bridging the Gap, Matt Reiner sits down with Rick Burgess to explore the in's and outs of data models and workflows within the financial industry. Rick, who has been a partner with a company for nearly a decade, underscores the significance of a centralized data model and the challenges smaller firms face in accessing tools that larger companies utilize. He emphasizes the importance of a data warehouse approach and discusses the deceptive appearance of integration where multiple tech stacks are used without true integration. The conversation dives into streamlining account opening processes and the challenges related to data ownership and integration, stressing the need for firms to evolve their tech stacks as they expand.Rick highlights the importance of knowing and effectively managing client data, not just for regulatory purposes, but for deepening client relationships and improving service retention. He brings attention to the pitfalls of fragmented data and the necessity for transparency and data-driven negotiations with vendors. Both Matt and Rick agree that a cohesive technology solution, particularly in wealth management, is crucial. They stress the value of partnering with firms that have invested in technology development and accumulated valuable learnings over time, which can provide robust and scalable solutions as the business grows. One key takeaway is the need for a centralized data model to ensure all client data is accessible and integrated across various platforms, enhancing scalability and efficiency.Towards the end of the episode, Rick recounts how he and a partner created a platform to simplify paperwork and workflows for financial advisors, leading to significant success. He emphasizes the behind-the-scenes challenges in business operations, especially regarding staff turnover and its impact on back-office functions. He encourages listeners to engage experts, involve others in decision-making, and to remain discerning while doing so. This highlights the importance of continuously evolving the tech stack to align with the changing needs and growth of the firm, and seeking out partnerships with technology experts who have a proven track record, thereby ensuring the firm benefits from their accumulated knowledge and avoids unnecessary pitfalls.More Content For Financial Advisors and Wealth Management FirmsYouTubeTwitterLinkedIn

What's the best way to respond to him? Willie asks: I have a dating questions. Why do women keep ghosting me? Should they be more willing to work out differences with the Five Secrets of Communication? 1. Bosley asks: My father can be very critical of my plans for the future. What's the best way to respond to him? "To explain somewhat concisely, I just want to move to the nearest major city (Seattle) since I feel really really happy there. I also love volunteering for a specific organization and have some community there that I care about, and I feel very isolated having been away from for months. I'm willing to carry the load of all the work I would need to do to make it happen, and do a business training my dad wants me to complete. He has other thoughts. He looks down on volunteering and his thoughts on friends are simply that I can make new ones anyway. He is very aggressive and intimidating in his arguments, full of insults and many factually incorrect statements that are difficult to disarm on the fly. He shoots down the idea upon mention, so it's difficult to collaborate to find mutually beneficial solutions. He is a successful businessman, despite recent financial issues, and has a sort of strict plan for me that he has wanted me to follow, although I really don't feel this conflicts with his goals to have me run things in the future. I'm just worried since he has a long past of being emotionally abusive and of going back on his word. Plus, I just want some autonomy. In the end, it's his way or the highway. He says “You keep scheming and going down a twisted path instead of doing what I tell you.” David's reply I suggested he might complete the first four steps of the Relationship Journal so we could see how he's communicating with his dad. Here is Bosley's partially partially completed Relationship Journal (showing steps 1 to 4, but not 5.)   Step 1 – S/he said: Write down exactly what the other person said. Be brief: You keep scheming and going down a twisted path instead of doing what I tell you! Step 2 – I said: Write down exactly what you said next. Be brief: What? Circle or bold the emotions S/HE might have been feeling Circle or bold the emotions YOU were feeling Sad, blue, depressed, down, unhappy Sad, blue, depressed, down, unhappy Anxious, worried, panicky, nervous, frightened Anxious, worried, panicky, nervous, frightened Guilty, remorseful, bad, ashamed Guilty, remorseful, bad, ashamed Inferior, worthless, inadequate, defective, incompetent Inferior, worthless, inadequate, defective, incompetent Lonely, unloved, unwanted, rejected, alone, abandoned Lonely, unloved, unwanted, rejected, alone, abandoned Embarrassed, foolish, humiliated, self-conscious Embarrassed, foolish, humiliated, self-conscious Hopeless, discouraged, pessimistic, despairing Hopeless, discouraged, pessimistic, despairing Frustrated, stuck, thwarted, defeated Frustrated, stuck, thwarted, defeated Angry, mad, resentful, annoyed, irritated, upset, furious Angry, mad, resentful, annoyed, irritated, upset, furious Other (specify) Other (specify)   Step 3 – Good Vs. Bad Communication: Was your response an example of good or bad communication? Use the EAR Checklist to analyze what you wrote down in Step 2 Step 4 – Consequences: Did your response in Step 2 make the problem better or worse? Why? It probably made things worse. I came off dismissive, which probably confirmed for him that I automatically ignored any advice or direction that he gave me. I wasn't assertive in fear of escalating anger or just being shut down anyway, but that also maintains the status quo. I didn't, and typically don't, show a caring respectful attitude. This, I think, allows his anger to continue snowballing into more intensity. 2. Willie asks why women he's dating “ghost” him instead of working out the problems in the relationship using the techniques in your book, Feeling Good Together. Good morning, Dr. Burns! I hope you are doing well! I want to start off by saying that I love your books and they've played a massive role in changing my personality for the better. However, there is a question I struggle with. In feeling good together, you say that one can keep status quo, solve their problem, or walk away from a relationship. I lean very strongly on the side of always wanting to solve problems. However, at my age, most of girls I date err on the side of just walking away and this opens me up for unnecessary headache and pain. I don't know where to draw the line? My heart says that any two reasonable adults can always make a relationship work given that at least one wants to make things better and, unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case in my experiences. Your insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time! Best Regards, Willie David's reply Thank you, Willie, I'd love to use this as an Ask David question for one of the podcasts, if that's okay, using your first name or a fake name if you prefer. Here's the super short answer. I wrote a book on that exact topic called Intimate Connections. Essentially you probably need to learn a little more about how to “play the game” when dating. You'll see what this means when you read the book. Warmly, david Willie's Response: Good morning, Dr. Burns! Frankly, I was not expecting a response at all, much less as quick as it was. For this, I truly want to thank you for taking the time to do so. Secondly, it will be my honor if you do bring it up to your podcast. Please don't use my first name - I'd prefer staying anonymous. Please do let me know which podcast this will be so I can give it a listen as well. Lastly, thank you so much for referring me to your book. That will be my next read so I am super excited. If you have any other books which you believe are worth reading which will be beneficial in the dating world, corporate world, etc., please point me to those. I absolutely love your books and their effects on me have been immeasurable. Thank you! Willie I wrote back and suggested we could use the fake name Willie, as he wanted to remain anonymous, and he responded: Now that you say, Willie is definitely sexier! Question: when are you planning on doing the next episode with this question in it? I wouldn't want to miss it.   Here was my response to “Willie.” We'll just read your question, and then provide opinions. My career in private practice has a majority of single individuals who were trying unsuccessfully to connect in the dating world. That's why I wrote that book, which is intensely personal as I was the biggest loser of all for a long time because I was a minister's son and never learned how to “play the game” or be a “bad boy.” But I learned from a friend who was a “hustler” when I was in medical school. I learned a tremendous amount, including that there is a game-playing phase in dating, and a time to be more serious, open and vulnerable. The biggest mistake men make is trying to get too serious when they should be playing the game. What's the game? Well, you'd know if you ever had or loved a cat. If you chase them enthusiastically, you force them to run away. You have to learn how to make them chase you. Many men are stubborn about this, and lamely insist, “But I shouldn't have to play the game!” My answer would be, “You don't! Especially if you don't want to get laid and have lots of ladies chasing you!” Warmly, david Willie's response This is extremely valuable to me. I never knew that you come from a religious background and I do too so I do want to ask you some more questions / share my experience. One pattern I am noticing is that either Muslim ladies have a lot of religious trauma or they have very strict conservative values - usually a combination of both. In the modern world, I try using dating apps and might get matched with someone 2-3 states away so usually we would hop on a FaceTime and the topic of religion almost always comes up. And, due to differing opinions, they just walk away which deeply upsets me because they make the false assumption that humans are snapshots in time i.e., opinions / perspectives don't change. In fact, a personal experience I would like to share with you. I was in a relationship for 1.5 yrs (long distance) and it just ended 1-2 months ago. Our intention was always to get married. However, a few weeks before breaking up with me, she basically said "oh you don't pray and I cannot even imagine my future husband not praying etc etc" and she ended things with me on that. I even tried using the 5 methods of effective communication to acknowledge and validate her opinions while simultaneously sharing mine but she was dead set and did not even want to think about working on problems. How could I "play the game" in such instances or over long distances?   David's response Hi Willie, The principles of dating are the same in all cultures for the most part, and one rule is “Never chase a distancer.” So, when she switches to religion, you could use the listen skills subset of the Five Secrets, and buy in to what she's saying, WITHOUT arguing or presenting your own thinking. You can admire her, urge her to tell you more about her religious feelings and spiritual life, using liberal Thought and Feeling Empathy, and lots of Disarming Techniques, and Stroking, with Gentle Inquiry. You would NOT chase, or try to persuade, or argue, or defend yourself. Be totally admiring and other-centered at those times. If she says she wants to break up, you might say that you've been sensing some distance, and are relieved that she is doing that, because you, too, would like to date other women, but that the two of you can still be friends if she promises not to get romantically involved with you, and that you will be on the lookout for some really great guys she might want to date. This is a paradoxical approach, and it is an art form. And I can also tell you to date other women immediately, and the moment you find one you like better than her, she will find out, even if no one tells her, and she will likely want you back again. That's because of the Burns rule, which states: “People NEVER want what they CAN have; they ONLY want they CAN'T have!” Now, if you tell me this approach is phony, I would tell you that you're 200% right! And it's not only incredibly phony, it's amazingly effective! And a kinder word that “phony” might be to say that when someone starts pulling away, you have to switch into this style and strategic approach, and stop trying to be loving and sincere or logical, etc. Do NOT chase, simply open your hands and let go. It's the exact same strategy you might use to get close to a cat! Best, david Hi Willie, If you'd like, you can send me an example of what one of the Muslim ladies said to you, and exactly what you said next. Please select an interaction that didn't go well. Then I can analyze your response and suggest some alternative ways to respond in a dating situation. In fact, if you like, you can record it on the Relationship Journal that I've attached. Please fill in steps 1 through 4. Please do this right away as we record tomorrow. Best, david   Hi Dr. Burns, I cannot even tell you how much these emails are already changing my outlook. I truly want to thank you for taking the time and responding to these. One thing that caught my eye is the paradoxical approach. I never thought about it. In my mind, I feel you should work on relationships / never let go but if letting go is working on it, then that is something I really need to do. I am attaching two copies of the Relationship journal. One dealing with the topic of drugs and one with prayer. One thing I will tell you is that I usually bring these topics up myself because, in my mind, I don't want to deceive anyone and get these big topics out of the way as early on as I can and I think I am making a mistake somewhere here. Thank you, again, for taking the time and responding to these emails! Looking forward to what you think about the topics of conflict I have been having! Best Willie

We love your questions. Remember to send them to David@feelinggood.com. Ask David Questions for Today Bosley asks: My father can be very critical of my plans for the future. What's the best way to respond to him? Willie asks: I have a dating questions. Why do women keep ghosting me? Should they be more willing to work out differences with the Five Secrets of Communication? Marc asks: In your book, When Panic Attacks, you mentioned that sometimes people feel “trapped.” What should you do when you're struggling with this feeling?   1. Bosley asks: My father can be very critical of my plans for the future. What's the best way to respond to him? "To explain somewhat concisely, I just want to move to the nearest major city (Seattle) since I feel really really happy there. I also love volunteering for a specific organization and have some community there that I care about, and I feel very isolated having been away from for months. I'm willing to carry the load of all the work I would need to do to make it happen, and do a business training my dad wants me to complete. He has other thoughts. He looks down on volunteering and his thoughts on friends are simply that I can make new ones anyway. He is very aggressive and intimidating in his arguments, full of insults and many factually incorrect statements that are difficult to disarm on the fly. He shoots down the idea upon mention, so it's difficult to collaborate to find mutually beneficial solutions. He is a successful businessman, despite recent financial issues, and has a sort of strict plan for me that he has wanted me to follow, although I really don't feel this conflicts with his goals to have me run things in the future. I'm just worried since he has a long past of being emotionally abusive and of going back on his word. Plus, I just want some autonomy. In the end, it's his way or the highway. He says “You keep scheming and going down a twisted path instead of doing what I tell you.” David's reply I suggested he might complete the first four steps of the Relationship Journal so we could see how he's communicating with his dad. Here is Bosley's partially partially completed Relationship Journal (showing steps 1 to 4, but not 5.)   Step 1 – S/he said: Write down exactly what the other person said. Be brief: You keep scheming and going down a twisted path instead of doing what I tell you! Step 2 – I said: Write down exactly what you said next. Be brief: What? Circle or bold the emotions S/HE might have been feeling Circle or bold the emotions YOU were feeling Sad, blue, depressed, down, unhappy Sad, blue, depressed, down, unhappy Anxious, worried, panicky, nervous, frightened Anxious, worried, panicky, nervous, frightened Guilty, remorseful, bad, ashamed Guilty, remorseful, bad, ashamed Inferior, worthless, inadequate, defective, incompetent Inferior, worthless, inadequate, defective, incompetent Lonely, unloved, unwanted, rejected, alone, abandoned Lonely, unloved, unwanted, rejected, alone, abandoned Embarrassed, foolish, humiliated, self-conscious Embarrassed, foolish, humiliated, self-conscious Hopeless, discouraged, pessimistic, despairing Hopeless, discouraged, pessimistic, despairing Frustrated, stuck, thwarted, defeated Frustrated, stuck, thwarted, defeated Angry, mad, resentful, annoyed, irritated, upset, furious Angry, mad, resentful, annoyed, irritated, upset, furious Other (specify) Other (specify)   Step 3 – Good Vs. Bad Communication: Was your response an example of good or bad communication? Use the EAR Checklist to analyze what you wrote down in Step 2 Step 4 – Consequences: Did your response in Step 2 make the problem better or worse? Why? It probably made things worse. I came off dismissive, which probably confirmed for him that I automatically ignored any advice or direction that he gave me. I wasn't assertive in fear of escalating anger or just being shut down anyway, but that also maintains the status quo. I didn't, and typically don't, show a caring respectful attitude. This, I think, allows his anger to continue snowballing into more intensity. 2. Willie asks why women he's dating “ghost” him instead of working out the problems in the relationship using the techniques in your book, Feeling Good Together. Good morning, Dr. Burns! I hope you are doing well! I want to start off by saying that I love your books and they've played a massive role in changing my personality for the better. However, there is a question I struggle with. In feeling good together, you say that one can keep status quo, solve their problem, or walk away from a relationship. I lean very strongly on the side of always wanting to solve problems. However, at my age, most of girls I date err on the side of just walking away and this opens me up for unnecessary headache and pain. I don't know where to draw the line? My heart says that any two reasonable adults can always make a relationship work given that at least one wants to make things better and, unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case in my experiences. Your insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time! Best Regards, Willie David's reply Thank you, Willie, I'd love to use this as an Ask David question for one of the podcasts, if that's okay, using your first name or a fake name if you prefer. Here's the super short answer. I wrote a book on that exact topic called Intimate Connections. Essentially you probably need to learn a little more about how to “play the game” when dating. You'll see what this means when you read the book. Warmly, david Willie's Response: Good morning, Dr. Burns! Frankly, I was not expecting a response at all, much less as quick as it was. For this, I truly want to thank you for taking the time to do so. Secondly, it will be my honor if you do bring it up to your podcast. Please don't use my first name - I'd prefer staying anonymous. Please do let me know which podcast this will be so I can give it a listen as well. Lastly, thank you so much for referring me to your book. That will be my next read so I am super excited. If you have any other books which you believe are worth reading which will be beneficial in the dating world, corporate world, etc., please point me to those. I absolutely love your books and their effects on me have been immeasurable. Thank you!

In the latest episode of Bridging the Gap, Matt Reiner welcomes guest John Prendergast, CEO of Blueleaf, podcast host, and CEO of talking about media & tech in wealth management. Jump into a compelling discussion on the importance of authenticity in professional communication. Both Matt and John agree that advisors should utilize their strengths, be it writing, audio, or video, to foster genuine connections with clients. Diving into the challenges advisors face, they highlight the trap of overthinking and the liberation found in shedding self-consciousness to communicate more freely. With media evolving rapidly, John points out the fierce competition for client attention, underscoring the need for advisors to master these platforms to engage effectively with their audience. Pushing the envelope of innovation, John embraces the necessity of risk-taking and learning from failures to advance within the industry. Both he and Matt share their personal journeys of curiosity and learning, from childhood dreams to continual self-education through various mediums. As the conversation turns to technology, John delves into the transformative power of AI in marketing and communication, from altering professional photos to deploying chatbots for client interaction. Despite the financial industry's resistance to change, he sees huge improvements on the horizon. John emphasizes the significance of personalized, consistent communication, leveraged through strategic AI applications, which was repeatedly stressed as key to the future of wealth management. They stress the importance of learning from setbacks and aligning oneself for continuous improvement. Lastly, John and Matt shift to the impact of modern media in the industry, and the need for advisors to adopt and excel in these platforms. Both Matt and John call for a cultural shift that highlights innovative advisors and recruits open-minded individuals who aren't deterred by the prospect of failure. Most importantly, Matt and John reflect on the unique value advisors bring to the table through their authenticity and creative engagement with clients, positioning these qualities as the true differentiators in the financial industry. This is an informative yet insightful episode - you don't want to miss it!

Traditional advisors should move beyond quarterly reports and scheduled calls to effectively reach clients in today's media landscape.[44:14] John emphasizes opportunities for incremental improvement in the industry, particularly in leveraging client engagement for new offerings that can coexist with traditional financial planning. It emphasizes the difficulty of replacing existing products and the need to offer something significantly better to motivate change.More Content For Financial Advisors and Wealth Management FirmsYouTubeTwitterLinkedIn

Join Matt Watson and Justin Guerrete, Founder & CEO of TrueLetter, as they dive deep into working with affiliates at scale. Justin is a rookie non-tech SaaS founder, while Matt is a four-time tech founder with two successful exits, so the ball just kept rolling! First, Justin describes how TrueLetter could help brands manage an affiliate program at scale. It uses AI training modules to develop a “personalization filter,” so the brand can send each affiliate custom content. He shares the platform can handle thousands of personalizations for its clients.  Next, the conversation turns to the different approaches for affiliate marketing, depending on the industry. Matt points out that B2C strategies wouldn't necessarily work with B2B companies like Full Scale. Justin agrees that the promos that ecoms offer their affiliates would probably not work with software development companies, but he's seen it all! The duo then swaps horror stories of early-stage founder missteps around “magic buttons,” fundraising, exits, and more.

Discover this untold journey of a dropout-turned-digital success story as we jump into the remarkable story of Ben Heath, a dropout who defied all odds to achieve digital success. From running ads to networking and content creation, Ben shares his experiences and insights on how he discovered his path to success.Here's some of the great stuff that we cover in this show:Ben built his digital advertising agency around his personal brand, something that he says was not intentional but rather a result of early successes. This has been both a strength and a limitation for his business.Much of Ben's client acquisition success is tied to the content he produces on platforms like Instagram. Potential clients often become actual clients after watching his educational videos, reinforcing the impact of his personal brand.Despite its advantages, Ben admits that relying so heavily on his personal brand makes the business less scalable and more difficult to sell.

On the Land-Grant Podcast Network's “Know the Reason Why,” Matt Tamanini and Justin Golba break down Ohio State's upcoming game so that no matter whether the Buckeyes win or lose, you will be sure to know the reason why. Heading into the season opener, Matt and Justin take a look at the strengths and weaknesses of the 2023 Ohio State Buckeyes as they prepare to take on Tom Allen's new-look Indiana Hoosiers. The pair discusses the Buckeyes' ongoing quarterback competition and whether or not the offensive line is still the significant issue that it was perceived to be early on in camp. With Allen likely to throw a lot of exotic looks at the OSU o-line, we should learn a lot on Saturday. Both Matt and Justin are high on the potential of the defense as a whole, even though they technically still don't know who IU's starting quarterback will be.

Hear about Engeye, a nonprofit that sponsors a health clinic in Ddegeya, Uganda, to provide services to 15,000-20,000 patients per year, including the only maternity clinic in a large rural area.

Ok so we're playing host roulette again!!  This week it's the turn of Niall to be away and so Jo and Matt are flying soloish!!  Jo is surrounded by a 90th birthday party and is obviously having a raucous time during this record so if you hear a bit of background noise that's what it is.  Elsewhere they talk about how sometimes it takes longer than you think to complete deals and some of the reasons behind this.  Both Matt and Jo have personal tales of woe on this subject and as ever there's no holds barred in sharing them with us.  We'd love your thoughts on this episode so please do get in contact via all the usual ways across social media.  Enjoy!  

Matt Catanzano, not unlike us, does a lot of wonderful stuff in comedy. Perhaps, too much? Both Matt and TCB's Jake Kroeger are too busy to really ruminate on that, but they do have time to talk how Matt amazingly balances doing and running stand-up and sketch shows on top of making his own short films and writing anything else in order to have every other comedy base covered (and the essentially genetic connection between comedy and horror). Also, "hot" takes on the search for the British "Simpsons", an A24 take on Barney, and more.

Jealously guarding its position as the maker of the bestselling pickup model in the United States, Ford develops and offers the Ford F-150 in a wide variety of work truck, personal-use, and off-road versions. One of our all-around favorites is the 2023 Ford F-150 Tremor, a vehicle we tested this week. To build it, Ford engineers started with the fully boxed steel frame, aluminum alloy body, and varied powertrains of the standard F-150 and modified it to give it more appeal to off-road enthusiasts. At the same time, they retained the everyday usefulness of the truck and made sure the price wasn't out of reach. Ford has offered the F-150 Tremor package since the current-generation F-150 was introduced for the 2021 model year. A big addition this year is the new availability of the brand's veteran 5.0-liter V8 engine, now offered as an alternative to the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine. That was the configuration of the F-150 Tremor that Host Jack Nerad got a chance to test in the silt and sand of the desert outside Indio, California. He'll have a full report. The 2023 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Autobahn Edition is the subject of guest co-host Matt DeLorenzo's road test this week. The Jetta has always been an appealing compact sedan, but in this era of soulless electric vehicles, it might be more appealing than ever. Both Matt and Jack will detail their thoughts on the car in this episode. Volkswagen is also the lead news story this week as the brand introduced the U.S. version of its much anticipated VW ID.Buzz, the spiritual successor to the legendary VW Microbus. The unveiling took place in Huntington Beach, California, as a bow to the Microbus's surfer heritage. We'll tell you all about it and have some personal reminiscences about our own experiences in Volkswagen buses from the way-back machine. Our special guest this week is Toyota product expert Thomas Sondej. He recently sat down with Host Jack Nerad for an in-depth interview on the all-new 2023 Toyota Prius Prime plug-in hybrid and the hybrid version of the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross small crossover utility. If you expect the price of electric vehicles to come down to the level of conventional gasoline vehicles soon — well, don't hold your breath. The chief executive of a major global automaker says it's going to take a while, and we'll tell you much more as we recap the week's top automotive stories. In the true crime files automotive edition this week, a French lawyer says he's about to file criminal charges against a major automaker over faulty engines. And two other big car companies — one based in the U.S. — have just been required to pay major fines for violating fuel economy regulations. All that and answers to your automotive question coming up this week on America on the Road. America on the Road is brought to you by Driving Today.com, Mercury Insurance, YourTestDriver.com, and EMLandsea.com , the publisher of Nerad's latest book, Dance in the Dark, which is available HERE on Amazon.com
