Derrick and Jeff welcome rambunctious cover band Medicine Hat, introducing bassist “Ruckus,” guitarist Robert Herndon, and drummer Stix Mayfield (wearing a “Butthole Whisperer” shirt), while ribbing absent members Kevin Gamble (lead singer), Chris Horner (guitarist), and Krista (Kevin's wife/manager).

Send us Fan MailOn today's Dishing Drama with Dana Wilkey I'm covering three shows in one, so grab your tea. First, my Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Roaring 20th Episode 6 Shade Show, where Kyle Richards, Teresa Giudice, Lisa Barlow, Luann de Lesseps, Vicki Gunvalson, Porsha Williams, Gizelle Bryant, Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton take over Miami Beach, and I walk you through every spot they hit because I used to live there. I have thoughts on Andy Cohen and Kevin, NeNe Leakes saying she's never coming back to Real Housewives of Atlanta, Lisa Rinna and her Traitors Emmy, Todd Nepola, and a Luann de Lesseps story that will leave you speechless. Then Gizelle Bryant accuses Lisa Barlow of talking to bloggers, and Kyle Richards and Teresa Giudice act shocked, so I break down who on that cast really talks to bloggers, what Teresa Giudice did before Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 aired, the text Kyle Richards sent Dorit Kemsley before the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion, and what a Bravo production company asked me to hand over. Next, PK Kemsley and the Dorit Kemsley house: how Ronald Richards connected PK to the company that bought the debt, what I believe PK was really planning, why Dorit Kemsley's book worried me, PK's history from Rock Investment and his bankruptcy to Boy George, Jon Moss and Culture Club, and why I don't agree with Ronald Richards calling it brilliant. Then the Bronwyn Newport scandal with married New York restaurateur Justin Sievers, who really broke that story before Page Six took credit, and his own interview that tells you everything. I share my concerns about Heather Gay's boyfriend Tripp, tease some Real Housewives of London tea, and tell you what I really think about Whitney Rose and Justin Rose's separation. Finally, my Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 7 Episode 1 Gossip Dump with Mary Cosby grieving her son Robert Jr., Lisa Barlow and John Barlow, Bronwyn Newport on Todd Bradley and Brandon Good, Whitney Rose versus Meredith Marks and Lisa Barlow over that drag brunch, Heather Gay introducing Tripp to her daughter Georgia, Meredith Marks' facelift, Angie Katsanevas, Camille Grammer and Next Gen LA, and what my Real Housewives of Beverly Hills game night budget actually was. Bravo gossip, reality TV news and Real Housewives recaps from someone who has been on the inside.

Wimbledon bans influencers, Australia might be opting out of social media algorithms, and unpacking the Stella Lefty nepo pop-star drama. First up: Current SNL cast member Veronika Slowikowska (AKA Veronka is Cool) revealed a new singing project: Me As A Girl. Even local sleuth, Triple J presenter Abby Butler, made a TikTok on the subject. Next, Nathan Fielder has made a documentary about Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes. We reference this Vanity Fair feature. In world-breaking news, Australia might be the first to switch off social media algorithms. Thanks to the campaigning of local not-for-profit, Teach Us Consent, the Australian government may encourage an "opt-in" algorithm. Is this a positive? Or is the algorithm becoming a close comfort? We reference our own interview with Teach Us Consent founder, Chanel Contos, from 2023! And this piece in The Conversation by Rob Nicholls. Wimbledon is banning influencers? Kind of. Wimbledon will not have any accreditation category for influencers or content creators, sparking a debate not just online but also in the Culture Club studio. There’s a name that hasn’t left the internet’s lips this month, and that is Stella Lefty. Her country-pop song ‘Boston’ has gone super bonkers viral and, as a result, brought about a LOT of attention. We break down the plagiarism accusations and billionaire father claims. We reference a Yahoo article by Kelsey Weekman and a review by The Guardian: Boston singer’s debut is bland, boilerplate and beyond banal. In recommendations, Maggie loved Sterling Point while Jas recommends the new A24 movie about Anthony Bourdain, TONY. Thanks for listening!

If the 1980's was a high peak for FA Cup Finals then 1988's version arguably made the most impact. Communications Director for AFC Wimbledon now and loyal fan when the biggest waves were emanating from SW19, Marc Jones joins us to retrace the steps of a famous cup run, to argue that the 'fairytale' tag is a little unfair, how the club fostered that dressing room spirit and overcame the loss of their leader in the summer of 1987 and go on and make history.

Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Alison Ellwood has spent years uncovering the stories behind some of music's most fascinating artists and scenes, from the Eagles and the Go-Go's to Laurel Canyon and San Francisco. Her latest film, Boy George & Culture Club, takes us behind the colorful image of one of the most iconic bands of the 1980s and into the complicated stories that unfolded behind the scenes. We talk about the love affair between Boy George and Jon Moss that inspired the music, George's struggles with drug abuse, the secrets within the band, and the fallout surrounding their missed opportunity to perform at Live Aid. Alison also revisits the Eagles, including the tensions that were still very much alive when she made her documentary, and the idealism, creativity and community that defined San Francisco's music scene in the '60s. She shares what she's really looking for when she sits down with an artist and how she gets beyond the answers they've given a hundred times before. It's a fascinating conversation about music, fame, relationships and the stories hiding beneath the surface. Boy George & Culture Club is available on Amazon and Apple TV.

Wasia Project sits down and opens up about sibling dynamics, new music and Heartstopper Forever.Hi listeners! A reminder that we are on YouTube AND now Substack! Consisting of siblings William Gao and Olivia Hardy, Wasia Project was formed in 2019 and grew during the COVID lockdowns when Olivia and Will were just teenagers. After two EPs and a hit track that was picked up by Heartstopper, Wasia Project’s debut album Nocturne is dropping later this year, on September 18. Described as “turning coming-of-age angst into catharsis”, Nocturne is a ballad-filled, soaring pop album that explores growing up in a fractured digital world, all backed by the siblings’ classical music training. We sat down with the British band when they were on their small world tour to chat about their first album, Heartstopper's impact, and how to collaborate when you work with your sibling. In recommendations, Will enjoyed Heretic on the plane over to Australia, while Olivia recently picked up A Philosophy of Walking by Frederic Gros.

From the moment we saw the video for "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?" on MTV, we can say there was no one who looked, dressed, or sounded like Boy George. There was also the music, which touched on Pop, Soul, and Reggae. Even through all the mania that surrounded the band, we never quite understood who they were and where they came from, until now. Director Alison Ellwood previously tackled the official story on the Eagles, Cyndi Lauper, and The Go-Go's. She now takes on Boy George and Culture Club, and there is a lot to unpack as she steps into our virtual studio to reveal all she learned in this new documentary, currently streaming everywhere.

Ashley Tisdale's Toxic Mom TV show, Zoella’s surprising life update, and Lizzo speaks out about the Khia Asylum. Hi listeners! A reminder that we are on YouTube AND now Substack!

During an interview with "Swiftologist" last week, Lizzo reflected on the poor sales and discussed the phenomenon of the Khia Asylum.

But It Reflects An Old Historical Bias by James Hall for The Conversation, as well as The Guardian's 2/5 star review of Bitch. We also hear from PhD candidate Sascha Samlal, whose research focuses on fan culture and shame and had a differing perspective on the Khia Asylum than James/ The Conversation did. You can hear her full take in our Substack this week.

Hi friends, Olivia Rodrigo launches an all-women festival, A24's AI deal, and the rebranding of the surveillance state is here. Reminder: you can join the Culture Club world on YouTube and Substack! First up – we have some pop culture popcorn bits for you, including another nostalgic adaptation and more rumours about Taylor Swift's imminent wedding. Olivia Rodrigo is adding festival organiser to her resume with the announcement of the all-female festival, Daisy Chain Fields.In film news, A24 and Google have struck an AI research partnership deal that will see the independent studio work to develop new AI-powered technologies for filmmakers. Cinephiles and Letterboxd-heads the globe over are not happy with the decision. Is this a step backward for the indie studio or a needed tool for research? Meta has partnered with Kylie Jenner to release a line of AI-powered glasses. Named the Meta Starfire Glasses, Kylie Edition, the sunglasses can take photos and videos, play music, take calls and offer voice controls for you to go about your day hands-free. The accompanying marketing has been praised for its style and fashion, proving that all the surveillance state needed was a little rebrand. We discuss the ethical implications of these AI-powered sunglasses and the rise of Ring camera content online, including this Instagram post from style icon Alex Chung herself.In recommendations, we have two TV series for you. Maggie recommends The Four Seasons, season 2 on Netflix, while Jas enjoyed Margo's Got Money Troubles on Apple TV.Thank you for being here and for listening!!! We

This week on Moviewallas, Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi are finally back together and tackling a packed slate of movies and music documentaries. First up is Mortal Kombat 2, the latest entry in the long-running video game franchise. Does it deliver the over-the-top action fans are hoping for, or is it another missed opportunity? Next, the team discusses Pressure, a tense historical drama set around the D-Day invasion that explores the enormous responsibility placed on the meteorologists whose forecasts helped shape the course of history. Then it's time for Tuner, an intimate character-driven drama that sparks a lively discussion about performance, relationships, and the choices we make when our lives begin to drift out of tune. Finally, the hosts dive into Boy George and Culture Club, a fascinating documentary chronicling the rise, fall, and enduring legacy of one of the most distinctive bands of the 1980s. From the New Romantic movement to personal relationships within the band, it's a revealing look at the people behind the music. As always, expect plenty of movie banter, strong opinions, and a few unexpected tangents along the way.

Why the best leaders treat uncertainty as a chance to learn, not a failure to avoid.Most companies are built to grow. Far fewer are built to stay true to their purpose as they do.Eric Ries is an entrepreneur, creator of the Lean Startup movement, and author of Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad and How Great Companies Stay Great. For Ries, innovation starts with a simple reality: nobody can predict the future. “If you're going to do something fundamentally new,” he says, “how are we supposed to forecast” what success will look like? Instead of relying on certainty, leaders should focus on learning. “If you cannot fail, you cannot learn.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Ries and host Matt Abrahams explore how leaders can communicate through uncertainty, turn setbacks into valuable insights, and build cultures rooted in trust. From the power of the build-measure-learn feedback loop to the importance of making “deposits” in a company's culture bank, Ries shares practical strategies for creating organizations that innovate, adapt, and stay true to their values as they grow.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Eric RiesEric's Book: IncorruptibleEp.56 Lean Messaging: How Simple Messages Really StickEp.54 Leadership and Ethics: How to Communicate Your Core Values  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:21) - Lean Startup Fundamentals (04:03) - Business Plans vs. Reality (06:31) - Learning from Failure (08:11) - Why Companies Go Bad (10:49) - The Culture Bank (13:51) - The Final Three Questions (22:05) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Unleash your Superhuman potential with AI that meets you where you work.
