Additional Cases of New World Screwworm in the U.S. have drawn a reaction from Canada, one of America's top trading partners. American Farm Bureau's Chad Smith has more.
Paul McCartney got dragged for writing “silly love songs” and then turned the criticism into a No. 1 anthem. We start with that 1976 chart run, the irony baked into the lyrics, and the way one summertime hit can glue itself to your memory, right down to the bicentennial vibe and what was playing everywhere you went. From there we jump 50 years forward to McCartney closing out Saturday Night Live with Will Ferrell, and we get real about what it means to watch a living legend perform at 83. We talk vocals, stamina, song selection, and why it matters that Paul isn't trying to “fix” aging with tech. Then the night gets even better: the Chad Smith confusion joke, the classic Ferrell deadpan, and the surprise after-show energy where cowbell and Beatles staples (“Help” and “Drive My Car”) light up the room. We round things out with what we're listening to now and what still holds up, including our new “What's Mooving Me” pick from Drivin N Cryin, plus “Minute with Jimmy” on The Rolling Stones' “In the Stars.” That opens the door to Sticky Fingers at Muscle Shoals, the legacy issues around “Brown Sugar,” the story behind “Wild Horses,” and a quick run through Heart, Yoko Ono, Pet Shop Boys, and Depeche Mode's media critique in “New Dress.” If you like classic rock history, pop culture moments, and music talk that's equal parts funny and thoughtful, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers's Chad Smith is betting that music education is key to preserving the creative thinkers businesses need most...In 2006, Sir Ken Robinson stood on a TED stage and asked a simple question: Do schools kill creativity?76 million people have watched that talk. It's still the most-viewed TED Talk in history. It was my honor to sit down with Sir Ken in 2014 and talk about this subject at length, and it's still one of my most memorable interviews. Robinson's argument was clean. Creativity belongs in education the same way literacy, math, and science do. Instead, we rank it last. We fund it last. And when budgets get tight, we cut it first. That was nearly 20 years ago. Not much has changed. Except Chad Smith is doing something about it.The Chad Smith Foundation launched in 2025 around three pillars: Inspiration, Access, and Support. This is followed by support via instruments, teachers, and places to play. The After-School Music Program, known as AMP, launched in Milwaukee in March 2026; Smith chose Milwaukee deliberately because his brother, Brad, and nephew, Lewis, who serves as executive director, are based there. It's a pilot, intentional and methodical, built to figure out what actually works before scaling anywhere else.For more information, visit chadsmithfoundation.orgSupport the show
For over 50 years, Saturday Night Live has been one of the most Important shows for rock music in the history of the nascent television medium. While, arguably, the most famous moment in the show's history (and Tony's favorite?) is RHCP's multi-key 1992 version of “Under The Bridge”, there have been others. (Musical Guest The Ting Tings ripping up a photo of Colonel Sanders comes to mind.) Fortunately, just in time for NBC's never more relevant, May sweeps season finale of SNL, they pulled in the big guns: RHCP! Oh s**t, Frusciante and Kiedis (LLC) are busy? Maybe (checks notes) Chad Smith is free? Might as well bring in noted Chad Smith lookalike Will Ferrel (“Elf”, Capitol One) to teach Chad how to host the show! Everyone knows Chad Smith's best friend is Paul McCartney. So Chad called Sir Paul to see if he'd learn the bass part for the AI generated RHCP songs “Funky California Space Cadet” and “Santa Monica Ding-Dong”, as onetime Macca drummer Chris Whitten beat Flea's ass in Hamburg. Where you ask? Why, under the bridge. When asked for comment, Flea replied, I don't ever wanna feel, like when Chris Whitten kicked my ass.” Later that week, as longtime Macca drummer Abe Laboriel JR was (Alonzo) mourning young mister Christopher's legal predicament and unable to travel, Chad Smith had an idea. He could play in Paul's band! On SNL! The very talented singer songwriter Ingrid Michaelson can even sing back-up, and perhaps even “Cook Of The House”! And Paul could completely ignore any lame Beatles music during the live, 90 minute broadcast, because nobody wants to hear that junk! (#Motorcars #Handlebars) Are you still with us? Da f is wrong with you? You already know Tony & T.J. will talk Macca's historic SNL performance and also hit you up with such mind benders as:
Vi snackar om Eurovision-vinnarens dubbla ansikten, att det är ute med maskering, Spotifys älskvärda walk down memory lane, musik som tidskapsel, att stå för 14% av en låts strömningar, Chad Smith, Håkans barbieporr-stöld från Rosa Blend, den utskällda VM-låten, briljanta skamlösa Brandsta City Släckers och annat smått och gott.Dessutom har Ricky Holmquist lyssnat på gammal celeber emorock och en ny Jakob Karlberg-duett medan Mikael Mjörnberg utforskat sin inre hiphopare tillsammans med Fort Minor.I den stående punkten "Skivcirkeln" diskuterar vi Wilmer X album "Pontiac till himmelen" från 1993.Musiken som diskuteras i avsnittet hittar ni här: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2VgwjjhHAm6kVWDpFoNxFL?si=8ffbb82b29144ccaVinjettfoto: Martin Wilson (https://www.facebook.com/fotografmartinwilson)Vinjettmusik: Systemet (https://open.spotify.com/artist/72k91zc6DR3LSq87r4fnVO?si=dcfb98a9377e428a)
Tuesday, May 19, 2026Today's show starts with Brock accidentally becoming “Bob Rock” after a Starbucks order goes horribly wrong in New York. The new alter ego may or may not become a future rock station personality.
Parents everywhere know there's a level of frustration where you stop talking… and start blasting Huey Lewis in the garage like your life depends on it. This episode starts with Rizz admitting one of his kids pushed him so far over the edge that he had to activate the emergency happy playlist — and honestly, that may be the most relatable thing ever said on a daily comedy show.The gang dives deep into the songs guaranteed to rescue your mood, including Bermuda by John Linnell, “Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher,” “Power of Love,” “Stayin' Alive,” Wilson Phillips, Grateful Dead deep cuts, and enough Motown to heal emotional damage from modern life. Somehow the conversation turns into Michael Jackson hiding under your bed, CPR training from The Office, and whether Poison's “Nothing But a Good Time” should legally qualify as antidepressants.Then things escalate exactly the way they always do around here.There's major concert news with the Smashing Pumpkins launching a massive anniversary tour for Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness, plus Sonic Temple highlights featuring Shinedown, Daughtry, and Lzzy Hale absolutely crushing live performances. The crew also debates legendary tours after a “greatest concerts of all time” list sparks chaos because apparently U2 and Garth Brooks got disrespected so hard that Moon nearly launched himself through a wall.Speaking of questionable life decisions, Moon opens up about tattoo regret and realizing some of his old ink now resembles “a Walmart quarter-machine mistake.” The gang breaks down famous rock stars with zero tattoos, including Lars Ulrich, Alice Cooper, Trent Reznor, and Dave Mustaine. Meanwhile, Moon's tattoos are slowly evolving into what the show describes as “touched-up church Jesus art.” Honestly, no notes.Celebrity nonsense also reaches elite levels in this episode. Tom Brady apparently debuted a new look that made listeners compare him to Patrick Bateman, an animatronic billionaire, and a rejected Zoolander villain. The crew debates whether Brady's “perfect guy” magic is finally wearing off after another bizarre fashion appearance. There's also fake celebrity dating rumors involving Pamela Anderson and Tom Cruise, SNL madness with Chad Smith impersonating Will Ferrell, Paul McCartney showing up with new music nobody expected, and Casey Musgraves performing breakup songs on top of a washing machine because country music symbolism has fully left Earth.As always, this daily comedy show somehow mixes music nerdery, parenting meltdowns, celebrity gossip, nostalgic chaos, weird news, and absolutely unnecessary side conversations into one giant sarcastic fever dream. It's basically group therapy for people who laugh at inappropriate moments and still think “Stayin' Alive” is a medically useful song.If you love comedy podcasts, funny celebrity gossip, weird stories, sarcastic humor, music debates, and total morning show chaos straight out of St. Louis, this episode has everything except emotional maturity.And yes… somebody absolutely ends the show talking about porno birthdays. Because professionalism is dead.This daily comedy show is proudly brought to you by the beautiful dysfunction known as The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

At The NAMM Show 2026, Drum Workshop turned its booth into a walk-through of what a modern drum company looks like when craft, heritage, and engineering share the same floor. Scott Donnell, Director of Brand Management at Drum Workshop, Inc., guided us through a lineup that spans the DW Custom Shop, the revived Slingerland Radio King line, Latin Percussion, Pacific Drums and Percussion, and the brand's new DW Manufacturing series. The DW Custom Shop stand is a visible argument for customization as a sonic decision, not just a cosmetic one. Chrome, gold, satin chrome, and black hardware. Polyester sprays, three durable lacquers, exotic plies, and ply wraps. When a drummer specifies wood species, ply count, and grain orientation, they are designing the drum's voice from the inside out. The Slingerland revival gets the faithful-reproduction treatment. Radio King studio kits on display are solid, steam-bent maple shells with the original three-point throw-off and stick saver hoops, built in California. Scott Donnell speaks about the line the way a curator talks about a restoration: get the details right, honor what drummers remember, and let the sound do the rest. Donnell frames DW's innovation as a stack of deliberate decisions rather than a single breakthrough. DW stamps a note into each shell through a process called timbre matching, which ensures the kit is manufactured as a family. Pair that with grain orientation technology, True Pitch tuning, and resonance-focused tom mounting systems, and drummers never end up with an orphan drum in their kit. Marking the tenth anniversary of True Cast, the new DW Manufacturing four by 14 piccolo features a five millimeter sand-cast shell, cast bronze hoops, and fully machined brass and bronze hardware. Only one hundred are being made globally, each arriving in an Anvil flight case. A recent DW video features Dave Elitch and Abe Laboriel Jr. playing the drum with Paul McCartney. The conversation closes on a Red Hot Chili Peppers tour kit gifted to the DW museum by Chad Smith, which will join Neil Peart's and Terry Bozzio's tour kits on display while DW builds Chad new Sonic flight drums for the band's next tour. Pacific Drums and Percussion, LP's top-tuning congas, Tony Escapa's signature hand percussion series, and DWE round out the booth. Drum Workshop is not hiding how the drums get made. Take the tour, take the pictures, watch the videos, and the innovation speaks for itself. This is a Brand Spotlight.

Episode Overview In this powerful episode of the Agent to CEO Podcast, John Kitchens sits down with Chad Smith for a deep conversation on leadership, faith, discipline, and building a real estate business that actually lasts. Chad shares his incredible journey—from chasing a music career and hitting rock bottom at 23, to rebuilding his life through faith, mentorship, and personal responsibility. He walks through how foundational principles—not tactics—became the key to scaling a $100M+ real estate team, leading hundreds of agents, and maintaining a 20+ year commitment to faith, family, and purpose. This is not a "hacks and scripts" conversation. This is about priority structure, uncommon honor, servant leadership, and what it truly takes to win long-term. If you want seven-figure success without sacrificing what matters most, this episode will challenge and sharpen you. Chad's Origin Story: From Rock Bottom to Real Estate Leadership Walking away from a soccer scholarship to pursue music Playing the Whiskey A Go Go in Hollywood at 20 years old Facing rejection and spiraling into rock bottom by age 23 The life-changing influence of his uncle and exposure to Rich Dad, Poor Dad Discovering a new framework for life through faith and the "Man of Honor" message Committing to a priority structure that changed everything Chad made a declaration early: He would never become a "shooting star" again. The Priority Structure That Changed His Life Chad breaks down the foundation that drives every decision he makes: Faith Marriage Children Excellence in business to serve others Rather than building business at the expense of family, Chad built leadership capacity so he wouldn't have to choose between success and presence. He hasn't worked nights or weekends since 2009—and his production scaled because of it, not in spite of it. Uncommon Honor: The Core Value That Scales Culture Chad introduces the concept of Uncommon Honor, a leadership philosophy that drives his team culture. What it means: Honor those who showed you the way Honor your peers Honor those who can't "help" you Tell the truth—even when it's uncomfortable Protect the environment at all costs "If at any point I'm unwilling to say what needs to be said, that's the moment the environment begins to die." This is servant leadership without weakness. Truth with courage. Culture without compromise. The Leadership Shift: From Competitor to Capacity Builder Chad shares a powerful mindset shift: If you're threatened by your team's greatness, you'll never scale. He lives by this commitment: "I'm not afraid of you being great."

Six teenage boys left a house party in Pickering, Ontario, in the early hours of March 17, 1995, and vanished without a trace. Durham Regional Police settled on a theory almost immediately — the boys stole a boat, went joyriding on the frigid waters of Lake Ontario, and drowned. Case closed.Except it wasn't. Not even close.In this episode, we go beyond the official narrative and dig into the facts that never made the headlines. The details that got buried, ignored, or actively suppressed.We examine why Jay Boyle called his girlfriend at 1:30 a.m. and told her he was coming to her apartment — only to never arrive. We break down the surveillance footage that only captured three of the six boys at the marina, while the other three were never seen on camera at all. We look at evidence suggesting Danny Higgins, the youngest of the group, may not have even been with the others when they disappeared.We cover the two girlfriends who called police at 3:30 a.m. to report the boys missing — and were dismissed. The 36-hour delay before any real search began. The sidescan sonar contract that was lined up and then cancelled by Durham Police without explanation. The "unsinkable" boat that was never found. The gas can that turned up on the wrong side of the lake with no water inside it after nearly two weeks adrift. We reveal the three unidentified strangers caught on the marina's surveillance tape just minutes after the boys — who were never investigated.The critical dockside camera that went offline at 2:21 a.m. at the worst possible moment. And the surveillance footage that Durham Police told a private investigator didn't exist — until his third access to information request proved otherwise.We walk through the 1998 discovery of red jeans and human remains in the Niagara River that matched Jay Boyle's description — a discovery the Boyle family wasn't told about for 15 years. The bureaucratic nightmare that followed. The broken chain of evidence. And the forensic results that raised more questions than they answered.This episode is built on the 13-year investigation of private investigator Bruce Ricketts, who worked this case pro bono until his death in January 2024, and on the documented record he left behind. The boys: Jay Boyle (17), Chad Smith (18), Robbie Rumboldt (17), Jamie Lefebvre (17), Michael Cummins (17), and Danny Higgins (16).The case remains open. The boys are still classified as missing persons.Anyone with information is asked to contact the Durham Regional Police Service at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 2511.
On the night of March 16, 1995, six teenage boys left a house party in Pickering, Ontario and headed toward the East Shore Marina at Frenchman's Bay. They told friends they'd be back before sunrise. None of them were ever seen again.Jay Boyle, 17. Chad Smith, 18. Robbie Rumboldt, 17. Jamie Lefebvre, 17. Michael Cummins, 17. Danny Higgins, 16.Known collectively as the Lost Boys of Pickering or the Frenchman Bay Six, their disappearance remains one of Canada's most baffling unsolved cases thirty years later.In this episode, we walk through the full timeline of that night, from the party to the marina, the surveillance footage that captured three of the boys entering the property at 1:48 a.m., and the unidentified individuals recorded on that same footage just minutes later.We examine the thirty-six-hour delay before police launched a search, the massive air, land, and water operation that followed, and the single piece of physical evidence ever recovered — a gas can found twelve days later on the American side of the lake near Wilson, New York.We dig into the official theory from the Durham Regional Police Service, that the boys stole a fourteen-foot Boston Whaler and capsized on the frigid waters of Lake Ontario, and we examine the serious questions raised by private investigator Bruce Ricketts, who spent over thirteen years working the case without pay before his death in January 2024. Ricketts challenged nearly every aspect of the investigation, from the cancelled sidescan sonar search to the surveillance video that police later claimed didn't exist in their records, to the human remains found in the Niagara River in 1998 that the Boyle family didn't learn about for fifteen years.No bodies. No boat. No wreckage. No clothing. No personal effects. Six teenagers, gone without a trace. This is a case defined not by what was found, but by what wasn't, and by the questions that three decades of silence have never answered.If you have information about this case, contact the Durham Regional Police Service at 905-579-1520, extension 2511, or submit an anonymous tip to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Case reference number 95-26936.

Send in your music story!A blizzard outside, a firestorm in music. We start with the easy stuff—laughs, life updates, and a nostalgia trip through 2000s anthems—then dive straight into the friction points shaping live music right now: dynamic ticket pricing, runaway fees, and why mid-level artists can't afford to tour while mega-acts sell out arenas. It's Grammys week, but the real story sits underneath the trophies.We unpack a headline-heavy slate: tours from Queens of the Stone Age and Zayn Malik, a tragic breaking loss in the community, and a ceremony that crowned Bad Bunny and Kendrick Lamar while Post Malone led a surging Ozzie tribute with Slash, Chad Smith, Duff McKagan, and Andrew Watt. On the red carpet, the tone trended surprisingly classic—Lady Gaga and Sabrina Carpenter kept it timeless—punctuated by a single shock piece that lit up the timeline. Performances got the microscope from us too: what landed, what missed, and how televised moments dovetail with marketing cycles like a Super Bowl halftime.Then we tackle the question that won't die: should artists speak on politics? Jelly Roll's refusal to weigh in sparked backlash, and we push back on the expectation that entertainers must campaign. Autonomy matters—for artists and for fans. We talk about separating art from the artist, when lines get crossed, and how to “vote” with your wallet without letting parasocial noise make your choices. It's a candid, sometimes uncomfortable, always honest conversation about taste, ethics, and the business machine behind the music we love.To end on a note that's ours, we host the HB Guest Grammys. Fan Favorite goes to TX2 for the interview that lit our early charts. Best Album shout goes to Keep Flying's Time and Tide, with love to Snacktime for pure fun. “Realest” guest turns into a heartfelt debate—Forest Day, Scott Blasey, and Ralph Sutton each get flowers—because the best part of this show is still the people behind the songs.If this hit your feed just right, follow, subscribe, and drop a review.

Welcome to your daily comedy podcast, where absolutely nothing makes sense and we like it that way.Today's show kicks off with a story that nobody asked for but everyone will remember forever: a 73-year-old former born-again Christian reinventing herself as an escort named Busty Granny. She spent decades in prayer and celibacy, then hit 57, downloaded the internet, and said “oh… THIS is what we've been missing.” Now she's got clients young enough to still have homework and zero interest in OnlyFans because, quote, that sounds boring. Inspirational? Traumatizing? Both.Then we get into the most depressing career math of all time: a woman casually sings seven words into her phone for a Dr Pepper jingle and walks away with $2 million, while the rest of us are out here working full-time jobs and eating gas-station sandwiches. Naturally, this leads to the crew trying to invent jingles for every brand that will absolutely never call back.Somehow that spirals into one of the most fun debates we've had in a while — the biggest debut albums of all time. We're talking massive numbers, MTV miracles, and how one 4am spin turned a “failed” album into a 50-million-copy monster. Along the way we argue, forget basic facts, remember them loudly, and realize radio used to be way more powerful than TikTok will ever admit.Movies get dragged (respectfully… mostly), Brendan Fraser gets the comeback love he deserves, and we debate whether seeing a movie in a theater automatically adds two letter grades just because popcorn exists.In Crap on Celebrities, we hit everything from band lawsuits and surprise documentaries to tour dropouts, concert ticket chaos, and some genuinely heartbreaking but honest conversations about aging, memory, and how terrifying it is to not know what's happening inside your own brain.We also celebrate birthdays, overshare existential dread, and somehow end the show discussing a literal geyser of poop water blasting into the Potomac River — because if we're going to spiral, we're doing it together.It's another daily comedy podcast episode packed with weird news, pop culture, dark laughs, and moments where we all pause and go, “Wait… are we okay?”Spoiler: probably not. But at least we're funny.MUSICMotley Crue has officially won its heated legal battle against former guitarist Mick Mars. Lainey Wilson sure has kept herself busy.

Harrison Ford: "My uncle said that he's incredibly nice and took the whole crew out for lunch to thank them for working on his helicopter."3.
