Last week, we mentioned Chain Reaction since it was one of the shows cancelled to make room for The David Letterman Show. We felt it was fitting to spotlight the first of numerous revivals of Chain Reaction, in all its Canadian glory. We even give a nod to the French language version from the same time.
The 46th anniversary of the debut of this program happened earlier this week. We decided to revisit it this week, as more footage of the show has found its way online in the last 6 years like Isaac Asimov talking about the future, Chuck Norris doing some martial arts, and Phil Donahue supposedly dating Bill Murray's grandmother. Also, a sitting senator was supposedly an occasional guest?!

Words by Angela CroudaceAfter decades since their last show in Australia, Brad Roberts of Crash Test Dummies is excited to return. The Canadian band's first Australian tour, back in the early 90s, was met with poor attendance as they were relatively unknown at the time. “When we played our first tour in Australia, we were promoting our very first record, Ghosts That Haunt Me. We had a hit in Canada, but hardly anyone knew us there,” Brad recalls. However, the situation has drastically changed, and this time, with a larger fan base, the band is eager for a more successful reception.Reflecting on the impact of God Shuffled His Feet, the album that defined the band's career, Brad shares his pride. “It means a lot to me that God Shuffled His Feet holds such a special place in people's hearts after 30 years,” he says. The album, featuring iconic tracks like Superman's Song, still resonates with fans around the world. The band's success skyrocketed early on, with invitations to perform on Saturday Night Live and The David Letterman Show.Despite the early fame, Brad's musical journey didn't begin until after his university years at the University of Winnipeg. “I didn't spend much time in music until after graduation. Success on the second record was overwhelming,” he admits. The Crash Test Dummies' rise to fame is a testament to their unique sound and Brad's distinct low voice, which became an unexpected asset.The reunion of the original line up in 2017 was a poignant moment for Brad and the band, marking a new chapter in their journey. “We decided we wanted to keep going because we had such a good time,” he reflects.As the band gears up for their upcoming tour, Brad's passion for music remains strong. “I still love touring and playing,” he says. And with the ongoing evolution of music, Brad continues to study classical composition, including the works of Bach, proving that music is a lifelong constant.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

It also includes some of the best psychedelic trip stories from celebrities like Sting, Sarah Silverman, Ben Stiller, A$AP Rocky, and the late greats Carrie Fisher and Anthony Bourdain. Our host Lewis sat down with Donick to discuss his film in greater depth, including what drew his attention to psychedelics, his inspiration for developing a documentary around stories of psychedelic trips (and how he sold that idea to Netflix), his own introduction to psychedelics, and whether he's turned to psychedelics to help deal with the anxiety caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Donick is one of the most talented writers in Hollywood, and it was a real treat to have him join us to discuss his journey. So don't sit back, lean forward, and enjoy!

Today's show continues with more of the Durham hearing before the House Judiciary Committee. One major deficiency in the report is a lack of knowing who gave the orders? Who started the creation of fake intelligence? Who ordered an FBI agent to go undercover and ply a low-level Trump staffer with drink in an entrapment scheme? Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) put John Durham on his heels and I was glad to see that happen. It's great we are seeing just how corrupt the FBI has been, but they did not act alone in a vacuum. Someone had to be giving the initial orders. Could it be they came directly from President Barack Obama? Is that why Durham chose not to pursue certain areas? When Rep. Adam Schiff for Brains (D-CA) tried to pin John Durham down with phone calls from foreign adversaries offering dirt on presidential candidates, Durham was quick to remind Schiff of how he had been scammed. For those who never heard about it, Adam Schiff got punked by two Russian comedians pretending to have dirt on Donald Trump – dirt he was all too willing to believe. Vladimir Kyzetsov and Alexei Stolyarov helped show Schiff to be the sniveling, slimy, dirty piece of human debris that he is. After the Durham hearing, and true to her word, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) brought a new censure bill to the floor against Adam Schiff. This time there was not fine associated. This time, it passed. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy read the final vote and the passing of censure with the Democrats cat-calling in the background like petulant children. At the same time the House Judiciary Committee was getting information from John Durham, in the Senate a different hearing was taking place. That panel was looking at the ongoing injustice women are facing in sports as a result of the racial, Marxist transgenderism movement in our country. Kentucky women's swimmer Riley Gaines was part of the panel and did an excellent job illustrating the move to erase women from sports and to erase them from the lexicon. If you don't believe that is true, contrast Gaines's testimony to that given by Kelley Robinson, President of the Human Rights Campaign. Not only could Robinson not define a woman or explain why there should be a separate category for women's sports, she made a fool of herself with a comparison she thought was brilliant. In an effort to show there is no difference, she suggested the any man who tried to compete against Serena Williams in tennis would be destroyed. She said the idea a man could not even score a point on her. In her mind, this proves there is no difference between females and males. However, Gaines reminded the panel that as women's phenom's in tennis, both Serena and Venus Williams lost to the 203rd ranked male tennis player. And, if you think that's cherry-picking, I bring you a sound bite from Serena herself back when she appeared on the David Letterman Show. When she was asked about doing a male v female exhibition tour with Andy Murray, she not only said she'd lose in straight 6-0, 6-0 sets, but also would embarrass herself because men serve harder and are faster than women. She said she would only want to play against other girls. We have to put a stop to letting people who live in a world of lies and self-delusion from being allowed to take positions of power or to drive policies for the rest of us. We live in Realville and we need to make sure we don't let those suffering from severe mental health disorders force us to accept their delusions.

As a teenager, he addressed the United Nations and was appointed to the White House Conference for a Drug Free America. To this day, Kevin is still one of the youngest presidential appointees in American history. Kevin also served on the staff of The David Letterman Show.

Matthew Vire wrote the first draft of I Love You When in 2019 to assure his soon-to-be-adopted son, Christian, that he is always loved, no matter what. Matthew holds a Master degrees in theatre, psychology and has recently earned a Masters in Business Administration. Together, Kevin and Matthew married nearly 9 years ago and have two children with special needs and two perfect terriers. Special needs include a broad spectrum of neurological differences. Raise the child that you have not the child you thought you'd have. It can be challenging when you reach for support from your peers, friends, and family if they have not raised a child with neurological differences. Their experience is different than yours. It's important to adapt and modify strategies to find what works best when disciplining your teen with special needs. As parents of special needs teens be careful not to let the judgement of others affect you emotionally. Until they've walked in your shoes, they don't know your experience. It's possible that your relationship with friends and family may change if they are not patient and understanding of what your challenges are. Patience, empathy, and understanding are the foundation for parenting. Seeking professional support can make a big difference. Network with parents who have a child/teen with the same or similar neurological differences as your teen.

Today, I am joined by Las Vegas Juggler and Magician turned Christian Vegan Activist - Steven Lee August. Steve's bio - in his words: "Hi, I am Steve August. If this was a bio on my 50-year career as an entertainer, I'd have lots to tell you. I've juggled chainsaws in Rome and bowling balls in Japan. I've balanced burning barbecue grills on my face in Switzerland and on the David Letterman Show. Heck, I also cut a girl in half on Jerry Springer. Although I probably don't want to admit to that one. But that's not what I'm about today. Somehow, every crazy thing I do is getting ignored. My ethical life has become my new identity. By ethical, I mean, I'm a bible-thumping, vegan, animal activist. Yep...it could happen. It seems I am at a new “stage” in life that puts me on a new stage I never expected. Not as a variety entertainer, but as an activist speaker who fights animal abuse in the most unexpected of places, the Christian church! Why church? Having been a Christian for over 55 years, in 2008 I unexpectedly became a vegan based on what I see taught in the Bible. Being vegan in a church atmosphere stirs up a lot of aggression (but then, being vegan anyplace does that). So, I wrote a book called “Vegans Vs The Verses”. A handbook for vegan activists on how to deal with Christian hostility toward veganism, verse by verse. Now let's look at my credits because, what's a bio without credits, right? So, as a religious speaker or author, I have no accredited university training or seminary degree. I got Zilch to offer. Why should activists listen to anything I have to say? Because I am you. I am a vegan activist doing weekly outreach and I know these ideas work. Why should meat-eating Christians care? Because if I'm right, Christians are unwittingly supporting beastiality, gluttony, and horrific violence toward God's creation. Lastly, because I find compassion in the same scriptures, Christians find approval for animal abuse."

Episode 221 of the Sports Media Podcast features two guests — ESPN director and producer Russell Dinallo and host and reporter Jeremy Schaap. In this podcast, Dinallo and Schaap discuss the story of Barry Bremen, a Detroit-area novelty goods salesman who in the late 1970's was known as “The Great Imposter.” Bremen pulled off sports pranks that included crashing the 1979 NBA All-Star Game to shoot layups on the court with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, and Dr. J , crashing baseball's 1979 All-Star Game and shagging flies in the outfield for 30 minutes, and posing as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader at a Cowboys-Washington game. The stunts landed him on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, the David Letterman Show and the Today Show. Bremen died of cancer in 2011 but that's where the story begins in many ways. More than three dozen people have now learned that Bremen is their biological father, through sperm donation. They found out about each other – and Bremen – through genetic testing and the painstaking efforts of one of the children to track their lineage. “The Great Imposter and Me” debuts on July 12, at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN and will be available for on-demand streaming on ESPN+.

Ever been struck by lightning? Well, today's guest, Mark Hentemann, has been struck by lightning, not only literally while he was drawing caricatures at SeaWorld, but also metaphorically, when he got fired from the David Letterman Show. But what seemed to be the biggest punch in the face of his career turned out to be the best moment of his career. He used such failure as fuel to do better, eventually becoming an Emmy-nominated writer and producer of the popular sitcom Family Guy. Aware of the uncertainties in the entertainment business, Mark has been investing his script earnings into multifamily since 2000. He is the founder of Quantum Capital and he is also the host of The Wild West Real Estate Show. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Mark's lightning experience His foray into writing for television and film How getting fired fueled him to be better Dealing with imposter syndrome How he landed a job for Family Guy Figuring out a way to get out of the shadow of The Simpsons Finding security and certainty in real estate Embracing his failures Episode Highlights: [08:00] Turning Failures into Opportunities A Harvard degree does not make you funny, and so you've got to do the work. And at some point, when you're really serious about something, you've got to do what it takes to master it. When Mark got fired from the David Letterman Show, he knew he had to take it up a notch and took it upon himself to learn as much stuff as he can so he could get better at writing. He learned the mechanics of not just job writing, but also script writing and developing characters. [10:14] Overcoming Imposter Syndrome No matter where you are in your career, imposter syndrome is simply inevitable. And so, you have to be able to reprogram your brain to get over your fears and just go for it. [22:58] From Family Guy to Multifamily Guy Aware of the uncertainty in the entertainment business, Mark knew he had to figure out a way to invest his money wisely, In 2000, he bought his first duplex and got an 800% return on it. Since then, he went all in and has been directing all his earnings from script writing into multifamily investments.

In 2008, Kirsti launched “Songwriter Girl” and “Songwriter Girl Camps” (www.songwritergirl.com). “To me, it's scarier to not create something than to create it. It's more frightening to live the life when you never try something that piques your interest.” * 2:00 Intro to Kirsti & Writing Songs for Well Known Artists 2:30 Creative Process & Finding co- writers 12:30 How to Approach Artists to work with 14:00 Pivoting to Virtual Performances & Songwriting Sessions 18:30 Songwriting Camps 23:30 Songwriting Best Practices * Resources Book- Artists Way https://www.songwritergirl.com * If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?
