What happens when the women step away and it's just the guys behind the mics? Pure, unfiltered testosterone-fueled conversation erupts in this special "Niggas Night" episode where boundaries disappear and the raw energy of male camaraderie takes center stage.The crew dives headfirst into the curious case of the movie "Sinners," which despite generating $45 million at the box office, can't even be watched by residents of Clarksdale, Mississippi – the very town where the film is set. This bizarre situation highlights the disconnect between Hollywood success and small-town American reality, forcing locals to drive 80 miles just to see their hometown on the big screen.The conversation shifts to NFL draft drama, focusing on Shador Sanders' unexpected fall to the 155th pick and the cruel prank call he received that resulted in a $350,000 fine for the Falcons organization. This sparks broader discussions about accountability, respect, and the emotional toll of public humiliation in professional sports.When the topic turns to the viral debate of "one gorilla versus 100 men," passionate arguments erupt with surprising unanimity – the gorilla would dominate. The guys break down the science behind gorilla strength (they can lift 10 times their body weight!) and the practical logistics of how such a confrontation would actually play out, creating one of the episode's most entertaining segments.The crew doesn't shy away from controversial territory, examining Shannon Sharpe's relationship with a significantly younger woman and the societal double standards at play. This leads to a provocative exploration of age gaps, power dynamics, and the blurred lines between moral judgment and legal boundaries.Between these heated debates, the episode showcases a freestyle rap segment called "Pod and Bars," revealing hidden talents and bringing an entirely different energy to the podcast. Join us for this unfiltered glimpse into what happens when the guys have the studio to themselves – you might be surprised at where the conversation leads.Support the showFollow us on social media www.instagram.com/noadvisorypod

Deak traveled up and down the east coast in his early life, following the James Cotton Band and that dedication turned into an opportunity to drive Cotton's bus.

These days, you will find Deak working at his world famous ‘Deak's Mississippi Saxophone & Blues Emporium', where he performs custom builds on Hohner Harmonicas. Oh, and if you do drop in to 13 3rd Street, ya just might run into the likes of Charlie Musselwhite, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top fame, or a host of other incredible harmonicists who just drop by for a chat and some music.

Sinners is one of the highest rated movies in history. Starring Michael B Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld and a host of others as Black Panther director Ryan Coogler showcases the Delta blues and is clearly making parallels to Robert Johnson selling his soul at the crossroads of highway 61 and 49, in Clarksdale, Mississippi as the vampire horror film seems to bring the fantasy of the demonic realm into reality.

Ryan Coogler's Sinners, a singularly ambitious horror film set in 1930s Mississippi, is currently setting theaters ablaze (in an array of formats and aspect ratios to boot). The film stars Coogler mainstay Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as a pair of badass twins returning to their rural hometown of Clarksdale to build a blues joint—with performers whose talents are powerful enough to summon some unwanted spirits.  To talk about this fascinating film—which weaves together genres and tones to startling, if at times overwhelming, effect—Film Comment Editors Clinton Krute and Devika Girish invited Podcast veteran Robert Daniels (Rogerebert.com) and FC's very own Michael Blair into their humble juke-joint. After sinking their fangs into Sinners, the group touches on a few other new theatrical releases they're excited about, including Steven Soderbergh's stylish spy thriller Black Bag (42:26) and Andrew Ahn's The Wedding Banquet (52:22), a refreshing update on Ang Lee's 1993 classic.

Wright Thompson grew up in Clarksdale, Mississippi, before going on to write for ESPN, The Atlantic, and the New York Times, among other publications. In 2018, he created the travel documentary show, TrueSouth, which is now in its 8th season on the SEC Network; and in 2020, he came out with a terrific book called Pappyland: A Story of Family, Fine Bourbon, and the Things That Last. Wright's latest book, The Barn: The Secret History of a Murder in Mississippi, examines the lasting impact and legacy of the Emmett Till murder, as well as the extraordinary efforts by some to obscure or distort the facts. It's one of the best books I've read in a long time, incredibly well researched and reported, and told with the insights that only a Mississippian could bring to the story. Sid talks to Wright about the remarkable journey of Emmett Till's cousin, Wheeler Parker, who was there the night of the abduction; the strong connection between the Mississippi Delta and Chicago; and why it took so many decades for the secrets of this horrendous crime to come to light.

When a city government uses the courts to silence a newspaper, it's not just an attack on one publication—it's an attack on press freedom itself. That's exactly what happened in Clarksdale, Mississippi, where a judge ordered the Clarksdale Press Register to remove an editorial questioning the transparency of a proposed tax initiative. The ruling, widely condemned as an egregious violation of the First Amendment, has ignited national concern among journalists and legal experts. In this exclusive conversation, E&P Reports dives into the case with publisher Wyatt Emmerich and press freedom advocate Seth Stern to explore what this means for the future of local journalism—and why every newsroom should be paying attention.   Access more (including actual censored editorial, Complaint and Restraining Order) at this episode's landing page, at: https://www.editorandpublisher.com/stories/what-happens-when-a-city-silences-a-newspaper-an-inside-look-at-the-clarksdale-censorship-case,254442

The victim at the center of our case this week, Lopaz Richardson, was a talented artist, and it was art and the supportive community that is so often bred from art that were driving passions in his life. So, when he disappeared on July 7th, 2021 at such a successful time in his life, those close to him knew that foul play was involved, even though law enforcement seem to believe otherwise.If you are interested in bonus content for our show or in getting some Coffee and Cases swag, please consider joining Patreon.

“Ms. Stampley was my inspiration…” Barbara Bennett Reading Interventionist, Pre K, K, 1st - 3rd "I had the best teachers."  This week we are joined by Ms. Barbara Bennett, a dedicated reading interventionist with a background in Pre-K - 3. Growing up in Clarksdale, Mississippi, Bennett was highly inspired by her teacher, Ms. Stampley, and experienced the profound impact of having Black educators who understood the urgency of her community's needs. Reflecting on her son's contrasting educational journey, she notes the systemic challenges he's encountered, including low expectations and lack of resources, like a science lab and the ability to apply to certain high schools.  "Black educators make their students see that they have the capability to do more and be more."  Barbara shares multiple stories of the impact Black educators can have on their students. From reflecting on her high school science teacher to her own pursuit of teacher licensure, her village (which included a lot of Alpha Kappa Alpha women!) prepared her to advocate for all students, including her own son. Her passion for education is rooted in the heart and empathy she brings to the classroom, mirroring the love and care she received from her mentor.  Sending special gratitude and a huge #Shoutout to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated, Xi Nu Omega Chapter, where Barbara and Danielle are both active members. Danielle was invited to host a Black Educators Matter table at the March 2024 Chapter meeting, and Barbara signed up to share her story!

On August 23, 1998 Jimmy Page & Robert Plant played on a "wet, miserable field" in the rain at the Bizzare Festival, in Cologne/Koln Germany. They were touring in support of Walking Into Clarksdale, which was produced/engineered by the late Steve Albini (RIP). This is a fantastic, professionally broadcast, performance and all systems are go with Jimmy on fire,and Robert's voice strong and in control. It's brilliant. I play two songs off Clarksdale and then a very cool performance of Spoonful into a frenetic Whole Lotta Love. I wrap it all up with a clip of Steve Albini talking about working with Jimmy and Robert, in an insightful, if irreverent, interview. Good stuff.
