UCLA's Voting Rights Project filed a lawsuit on behalf of CHIRLA against the Trump administration over how it's using federal data to claim voter fraud. Why the future of a project to reduce car crashes on a stretch of Forest Lawn Drive remains unclear. And singer Miley Cyrus is coming to the Hollywood Bowl this fall. Note: A correction was made to the episode title and to the description to clarify that UCLA's Voting Rights Project filed a lawsuit on behalf of CHIRLA, not that UCLA and CHIRLA are suing the Trump administration.

Today we learned the one surprisingly simple activity couples should be doing together to strengthen their relationship during Clickbait, then somehow "honored" legendary composer John Williams by attempting yet another of his iconic scores using nothing but children's instruments. One lucky listener walked away with tickets to see him at the Hollywood Bowl, and we all walked away with no musical talent. We also gave the latest update on her massive helicopter gender reveal happening this weekend, while Klein desperately tried to convince everyone to get excited for the team's upcoming "Backyard Hang." The problem is that nobody on the show seemed even remotely interested, aside from Jake, making it one of the least-hyped parties ever. Rounding out the morning, rising KROQ artist Julia Wolf stopped by to talk about her breakout single "In My Room," her upcoming tour, and a wild coincidence, she and Ally attended the same college. Naturally, the conversation immediately veered into whether Julia's college experience included the same questionable extracurriculars as Ally's, including taking ecstasy and masturbating in a dorm bathroom. Turns out, not everyone has the same college memories.

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we discuss the surprising news that David Lee Roth has been added to Alex Van Halen's TEDxFargo appearance this Thursday! David Lee Roth will join Alex Van Halen and acclaimed artist Robert Vargas on stage at TEDxFargo on Thursday, July 30, in Fargo, North Dakota. Roth's involvement wasn't revealed until today through social media posts from Robert Vargas and TEDxFargo, making this a major surprise for Van Halen fans around the world. While this won't be a concert or musical performance, the three are expected to take part in a live conversation as part of this year's TEDxFargo theme, "CHARGE." Alex has kept a low public profile in recent years following the release of his memoir Brothers, making this appearance even more significant. Robert Vargas, the Los Angeles artist behind the famous Eddie Van Halen mural at Guitar Center Hollywood and his striking Alex Van Halen portrait, has become a close friend of Alex and will also be part of the discussion. Robert Vargas, the Los Angeles-based contemporary artist joining Alex and Roth on stage, is internationally recognized for his massive freehand murals and striking mixed-media portraits. Raised in Boyle Heights, California, Vargas studied at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts before continuing his education at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. His artwork can be found on prominent buildings throughout downtown Los Angeles as well as in cities across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Among Van Halen fans, he's best known for creating the iconic Eddie Van Halen mural at Guitar Center Hollywood and his impressive portrait of Alex Van Halen. Perhaps the biggest story is that this marks the first public event featuring David Lee Roth and Alex Van Halen together on the same stage since Van Halen's final performance at the Hollywood Bowl in October 2015. What stories, memories, and surprises might they share? We'll break down everything we know, what fans can expect, and why this could be one of the most talked-about Van Halen events of the year. #RobertVargas #VanHalen #DavidLeeRoth #AlexVanHalen #TEDxFargo

If you know the name Bear McCreary, it's probably from the goosebumps he's given you without you even knowing it was him. You may know his work from Battlestar Galactica, The Walking Dead, God of War, and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. He's one of the most prolific composers working today, and on July 31st, he's releasing Singularity: Ekleipsis, his second metal album. He sat down with us to talk about creating something that is his own art. We dug into how neither of us comes from a metal background and what that means for the music he is creating. He drops some great recommendations of things to listen to in order to find your way into the genre. The album itself is brilliant from top to bottom. Bear McCreary discusses how this was, in his opinion, more finely tuned than the first, but both albums have been on constant repeat for me lately. About Bear McCreary and Singularity: Ekleipsis Award-winning composer and recording artist Bear McCreary began his career as a protégé of legendary film composer Elmer Bernstein, before bursting onto the scene scoring the revered series Battlestar Galactica in 2004. Since then, McCreary has won three Emmy Awards, including two for Disney's Percy Jackson and the Olympians and one for his theme for Da Vinci's Demons, a musical palindrome, and has won twelve International Film Music Critics Association Awards, including the award for Score of the Year in 2024, his second. Named the 23rd Most Definitive Bear in Popular Culture (The Ringer), he's also been the subject of a clue on Jeopardy! Project highlights include The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (Amazon); Foundation (Apple TV); the beloved series Outlander (STARZ); Godzilla: King of the Monsters (Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures); The Walking Dead (AMC); and Netflix's Academy Award–nominated documentary Crip Camp (produced by Barack and Michelle Obama). McCreary's celebrated scores for Sony PlayStation's blockbusters God of War and God of War Ragnarök have earned him two BAFTA Awards and two Grammy nominations. In 2024, McCreary released The Singularity, a hard-rock concept album featuring legendary rock talent including Slash, Serj Tankian (System of a Down), Corey Taylor (Slipknot), Rufus Wainwright, and more. McCreary has collaborated with artists from across the musical spectrum, including Hozier, Fiona Apple, Shirley Manson (Garbage), Annie Lennox, and the late Sinéad O'Connor. In 2014, Maestro Gustavo Dudamel conducted a suite of McCreary's music with the L.A. Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl.

Bridget checks in from Los Angeles — where she's spending five weeks with family — and the city is not what she remembered. Empty storefronts on 3rd Street, deodorant locked behind glass at Walgreens, stores you have to get buzzed into, and a Hollywood Bowl 4th of July that felt more like a eulogy than a celebration. She and Maggie get into what it actually feels like to come back to a place you loved and see the decline in real time, why Texas feels so different, what a dead Vegas says about the country, and why the right needs to calm down about Christopher Nolan.#LosAngeles #CityDecline #walkinswelcome #bridgetphetasyTopics covered: LA decline, Santa Monica empty storefronts, California exodus, Texas vs California, Hollywood Bowl 4th of July, Vegas automation and robots, Candace Owens and the Kirk trial, Christopher Nolan and the Odyssey debate, community and faith, gratitude on the road

You already know something is off. The output is there. You're showing up, doing the work, performing at a level other people can see. But underneath all of it, there's a strain you can't quite name — a low-grade exhaustion that has nothing to do with how many hours you slept and everything to do with why you're doing what you're doing. You are working for your identity instead of from it. And no amount of productivity is going to fix a motivation problem. Pentatonix's Kevin Olusola and Donovan Dee Donnell join me today for a riveting conversation. Kevin Olusola, Grammy-winning beatboxer and member of Pentatonix, and Donovan Dee Donnell, life coach, counselor, and co-author of Designed to Succeed, join me for one of the most theologically loaded conversations this show has ever had. Kevin names something with startling precision: he gave up the ghost — not as resignation, but as full surrender to the Father at the Hollywood Bowl in 2022, performing before thousands without needing their applause because his being was finally more secure than his doing. Donovan unpacks the mechanics of fear with the clarity of someone who has lived in both the wreckage and the rebuild, walking us through what he and Kevin call the verify-purify-occupy framework, the three-move sequence for dismantling fear's claim before it ever gains a foothold. Together, they trace a thread that runs from identity through core values, through alignment and its guardrails, to the question every person of purpose will eventually have to answer: What are you willing to die for? This is not a conversation about success. It is a conversation about what happens when your motivation is finally honest enough to be sanctified. It will ask you to do something you have probably been postponing — to go to God with the actual thing, not the acceptable version of it, and let Him work with what is true. Guest Bios Kevin Olusola is a three-time Grammy Award-winning musician and beatboxer best known as a member of Pentatonix, the a cappella group that has amassed nearly five billion streams on YouTube. A Yale University graduate who came within a semester of a pre-med track, Kevin traded the expectations of his immigrant Nigerian-Grenadian family for a music career built on the unconventional combination of classical cello and beatboxing — and paid for that leap in ways that eventually led him to something more costly than a career pivot: a genuine reckoning with why he was performing at all. He is also the founder of Imagine Faith Talk, where his platform merges high-performance principles with a Pentecostal-Charismatic faith, and the author of a solo musical project, Dawn of a Misfit. Donovan Dee Donnell is a life coach, former counselor, and co-author of Designed to Succeed. A self-described introvert with an extrovert's calling, Donovan brings both the rigor of professional coaching and the honesty of someone who has navigated some dark places — including years as a stripper and a long reckoning with what it costs to build a life that isn't afraid of criticism. He is a founding collaborator on the Imagine Faith Talk platform alongside Kevin Olusola, and his coaching work centers on helping people identify the guardrails that protect alignment and do the internal work necessary to keep their motivation honest.

Croon•er (n) ['kru:nər]: a singer, particularly a male one, who sings sentimental songs in a soft, low voice. Decades before Elvis, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber, or Uncle Gregg captured the hearts, imaginations, and undergarments of a swooning audience, crooners ruled the earth. The term typically conjures up golden throated singers like Bing Crosby, Nat "King" Cole, Tony Bennett, and Mel Torme interpreting the timeless songs of Jerome Kern, Johnny Mercer, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Irving Berlin. But one crooner reigned supreme: Ol' Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. He was "The Voice," possessing an instrument of rare, pure, crystalline perfection, with a phrasing, tone, and ability to charge every word with such emotion that you can palpably sense his audience getting weak in the knees. Never has Sinatra's legendary 1940s performing career sounded as immaculately and pristinely alive as it does on the SING label's recent archival projects: At the Hollywood Bowl 1943-48; Christmas on the Air; and the 5-LP box set Long Ago, Far Away, all lovingly restored and mastered by an award winning team and featuring exquisitely detailed liner notes by no greater authority than record producer, historian, archivist, author of the acclaimed Sessions with Sinatra, and host of the weekly radio show Sinatra Standard Time, Chuck Granata. We are fortunate to have Chuck join us this week to chat about all things Sinatra: the innovative new sets, his important role in pop music's breakthrough, his classic and most underrated albums, and the use of AI for good. And, of course, because O3L is focused on classic alternative music, our lists cover some of our favorite singers who carried on crooning into the '70s, '80s & '90s. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (6.5) The World Cup countdown is officially on, and Conway says fans better get ready for sticker shock — with parking prices already looking insane at $150 to $300. Then it is off to the GM Design Center in Pasadena, where the cars of the future are being imagined, customized, and reconfigured. Conway has a few name suggestions for the new Hummer, including the 2026 “F-Off” and the 2027 “F-U.” Plus, Southern California traffic is about to go full nightmare mode. The Angels and Dodgers Freeway Series, Snoop Dogg at F&M Bank Amphitheatre, Qatar vs. El Salvador at BMO Stadium, Rush at the Kia Forum, Mariachi USA fireworks at the Hollywood Bowl, Paul Simon, WeHo Pride, and major freeway lane closures are all hitting at once. Conway also breaks down California’s first “Smart Freeway,” launching on the 15 between Temecula and Murrieta, and how speeding tickets have cost Mark Thompson thousands in car insurance. And in Long Beach, Snoop Dogg kicks off the waterfront amphitheater for 11,000 people — but there is no general on-site parking. Meanwhile, Pasadena residents were told to shelter in place after a mountain lion spent the day roaming the neighborhood before being tranquilized.

We often sit down with bands that will ONE DAY be Portland music legends. But it's the rare treat to be in the presence of bands that are legends RIGHT NOW. Such is the case this week, when we sit down with Portland Surf Rock institution Satan's Pilgrims. Seriously, you guys, they're in the Oregon Music Hall of Fame and have been in the game since '92! They grace us with an insider's look at the history and meaning of surf, the open mind and open heart of Portland music that has endured for decades, playing the Hollywood Bowl, the brief heyday of pilgrim-themed rock 'n roll, and tons more. You'll love it. Promise. Music this week:"Surf Lyre" by Satan's Pilgrims (23:57)"Crying In A Storm" by Satan's Pilgrim (51:57)"Firestorm" by The Von Dwells (69:19)"Hope for the Best, Expect the Worst" by Johnny Franco (101:54)
The guys are back (even if their voices aren't), and catch up on all the wild Beatlenews and Beatlereleases from the past few weeks. It's been a hard day's fortnight, & Tony & T.J. have been working like dogs to buy, rent, or look at all the following: New Paul album, new Ringo album, new John meditation mixes, new George Dark Horse label re-releases, new Wings documentary & soundtrack, new John concert movie, new documentary about Paul's lost bass, Evolver 62 documentary now streaming, and a new one-person show in Chicago about The Beatles by actor/writer (& Chicagoan!) Brendan Hunt, aka Coach Beard on Ted Lasso! Whew! The guys also discuss how Bob Eubanks and Dick Biondi, announcing together at the Hollywood Bowl, both said "The Beatles" at the same time -- which possibly gave Eubanks the idea for The Newlywed Game, where couples try to say the same things about places where they made "whoopee". Speaking of Dark Horse records, T.J.'s voice is especially dark & hoarse -- like George's voice on Dark Horse! Perhaps from running on a dark racecourse? And as George Martin says, dark horses for dark courses. But what about your father's dark horse? Of dark course, Henry the Dark Horse danced the waltz, & then the Beatles ate him in Germany for Christmas dinner. Very dark, indeed. (And...scene.)
