This week, Lex P and Drea Nicole are back with a solo episode and baby… it goes everywhere. The girls kick things off debating zodiac stereotypes and why the internet swears everything is “so Libra coded.” From being misjudged in the comments to side-eyeing astrology girls who claim every cool trait for their sign, Lex and Drea unpack the obsession with labels and whether signs really mean what we think they do. They also break down the viral Dr. Pepper jingle moment and the bigger conversation around going viral, corporate responsibility, and why the internet needs to learn patience. That spirals into a real talk about pandemic-era scams, PPP loans, unemployment checks, and why people are still getting locked up years later. If you ran it up in 2020… just know the clock might still be ticking. Later, the vibe lightens up as they talk about random talents that don’t pay the bills but deserve recognition—elite parallel parking skills, predicting movie plot twists, tap dancing dreams making a comeback, and being weirdly good at guessing zodiac signs. To close it out, they get into whether your man needs to match your aesthetic. From Build-A-Bear boyfriends and makeover horror stories to gym bros, nerd baes, veneers, hairlines, and preferences vs. disrespect—the conversation is funny, honest, and a little messy in the best way. If you’ve ever judged a sign, dodged a scam, upgraded a man, or thought about ordering tap shoes at 2 a.m.—this episode is for you. Pour up and press play.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hosts: Rob Chappell, Stephanie Díaz de León, Omar Waheed Dee Star's big moment: Three major milestones for Dee Star, host of the OuttaDeeBox podcast: February 3 has been declared Dee Star Day in Sun Prairie; the Out of Dee Box podcast will be the first podcast enshrined at the Wisconsin History Museum and the Sun Prairie Historical Society; and he's receiving a legislative citation for community impact. Omar caught up with him about what it all means. Hip-hop in the classroom: Omar visited Kennedy Elementary to check out a hip-hop artist residency featuring Lex, a clean hip-hop artist, author, poet, DJ and educator. Lex spent two weeks visiting 16 MMSD schools, performing and helping kids process emotions through music — and it was anything but a corny after-school special. School funding crunch: MMSD is already laying groundwork for next year's budget, and the outlook isn't great. The hosts dig into why: a state legislature that funds only about 5% of school district budgets (compared to 60-70% in Minnesota), federal special education cuts, and a new lawsuit challenging Wisconsin's funding model as unconstitutional. Dane County's $31 million problem: Rob obtained a budget memo showing the county faces a roughly $31 million deficit heading into 2027, as post-COVID surpluses dry up and health insurance and employee costs climb. Balancing the budget could mean cutting around 241 full-time positions. Only one county supervisor responded to Rob's request for comment. County contracting review: County Executive Melissa Agard has ordered a comprehensive review of county contracting practices. Rob spoke with Agard, Human Services Director Josh Luter, and several nonprofit leaders. The recurring theme: a need for greater transparency in bidding, scoring and feedback — plus structural issues like one-year contracts for five-year projects with no built-in cost-of-living increases. On the radar: Stephanie flags the November 3 election, which will include a Republican-backed constitutional amendment that would prohibit DEI policies at any state government entity, including UW. Also coming up: spring county board elections with a few competitive races. Question of the week: How big would a worm have to be before you'd tell somebody about it? We're hiring!  

This week on The Kickback, Cal, Dev, and Lex celebrate Black History Month with a powerful conversation on the roots and reach of Black gospel music.

Waddup Petty Posse! This episode of Baddies got REAL messy, REAL fast. The house is still shaking after that explosive Lex and Summer fight, and it's clear this wasn't just random hands being thrown… something deeper is going on between those two. Meanwhile, the tension is THICK around the Lemmy rumors as Natalie had some serious claims about Mariahlynn. She had the whole house side-eyeing each other. With stories not quite adding up and everybody tiptoeing around the truth, one thing is clear: somebody's LYING! Between emotional breakdowns, house meetings going left, and the energy feeling more fractured than ever, the Baddies are definitely not on one accord.

Having faith in the love of people

“You said you couldn't believe in someone who didn't believe in you.” Join Ian, Liam & Megs for our 319th episode as we dive headfirst into lace gloves, record store shifts, and 1980s romantic angst with John Hughes' Pretty in Pink (1986). It's class divides, prom politics, and the eternal question of who really deserves Andie Walsh. This week we discuss: Molly Ringwald as Andie — resilience, insecurity, and whether she's a fully realised protagonist or a Hughes archetype dressed in vintage. Blane's behaviour — romantic lead or emotional liability? Does the film let him off too easily? Duckie's devotion — lovable underdog, manipulative “nice guy,” or something more complicated? The class tension at the heart of the story — is the film actually saying something about wealth and identity, or just dressing teen drama up as social commentary? Megs unpacks the fashion — iconic, chaotic, deeply 80s. Does the final dress deserve its reputation? Ian explores the alternate ending — what changed, why test audiences intervened, and whether the original choice would have made for a stronger film. Liam questions the soundtrack supremacy — is this peak 80s needle-drop culture, or nostalgia doing heavy lifting? The father-daughter dynamic — quiet emotional centre or underdeveloped subplot?  Are certain viewers predispositioned to be on board with this - or not? The prom climax — catharsis, compromise, or cultural time capsule? We debate whether the film romanticises inequality — and whether Andie's final choice feels empowering or regressive. And finally, whether Pretty in Pink is the Best Film Ever — or simply one of the most enduring teen romances of the 1980s.

In this episode, Lex chats to Joseph Chalom, CEO of SharpLink, a Nasdaq-listed leader in digital asset treasury management focused on Ethereum. Joseph shares his journey from BlackRock and the Aladdin platform to pioneering digital asset strategies, including staking and tokenization. The discussion explores the evolution of fintech, the integration of crypto into institutional finance, and the future of decentralized finance (DeFi) and AI-powered financial agents.  Joseph highlights SharpLink approach to making Ether productive for investors and the growing institutional adoption of blockchain technologies. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS: SharpLink's scale and “productivity” pitch for ETH We hear that SharpLink (Nasdaq listed since July 2025) has raised a little over $3B in equity, holds ~$3B of ETH, and claims it stakes nearly 100% of its ether—framing itself as a public equities “one click” way to get both ETH upside and yield. A rare behind the scenes look at BlackRock's crypto playbook We get specifics on how BlackRock approached digital assets through three pillars—Circle/USDC reserves, the Coinbase integration (announced Aug 4, 2022) to make crypto trading “boring” for institutions, and tokenization via BUIDL on Ethereum with Securitize, which he calls the largest tokenized fund. The next wave thesis AI agents + Ethereum rails Chalom argues the underestimated unlock is autonomous AI agents using Ethereum for programmable settlement, continuously reallocating capital across staking, lending, liquidity, and DeFi while monitoring smart contract risk—replacing manual “yield farming” with always on optimization.

In the current era of music and hip-hop, there's gotta be more rappers than at any other point in human history. And so while that leads to a ton of amazing, creative rap music being made, as an artist, it's increasingly hard to stand out. The market has never been more saturated.

“We're all in this together.” Join Ian, Megs & Kev for our 318th episode as we lace up the Wildcats, grab the basketball (and the sheet music), and head back to East High for Disney Channel's cultural phenomenon High School Musical (2006). It's jazz hands, jump shots, and mid-2000s sincerity this week — and yes, we're absolutely committing to the choreography. This week we discuss: The lightning-in-a-bottle appeal — how a made-for-TV movie became a generational event - especially for one member of the panel. Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens — chemistry, charisma, and the myth-making of teen stardom.  Does Hudgens get enough credit for the success of the franchise? Ashley Tisdale's Sharpay Evans — villain, icon, or misunderstood theatre kid with ambition? Is she too good to dislike? Megs breaks down the musical structure — why the songs are catchier than they have any right to be, and which ones still slap. The team talks about the difficulty about the audition process - on both sides of the equation  We talk about the differences in social cliques in the North American school system versus the British school system Ian talks about how the whole plot is a conceit that he can't fully buy into - but why? Thematically — identity, peer pressure, and the fear of stepping outside the box. Why this simple message resonated so hard. The “show, don't tell” debate — does the film trust visual storytelling, or does it lean on dialogue and lyrics to do the heavy lifting? The Disney machine — how the film's success reshaped the network's future output. The ending performance — triumphant, predictable, or perfectly engineered for maximum serotonin? And finally, whether High School Musical is the Best Film Ever — or simply the most aggressively rewatchable Disney Channel Original Movie ever made.

Pod Crashing episode 443 with author Joe Lex from the podcast All Bones Considered… Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia is the final resting place for many notable men, including Declaration of Independence signer Thomas McKean, Civil War General George Meade, locomotive magnate Matthias Baldwin, astronomer David Rittenhouse, and Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas, plus many Union generals and even fictional characters like Adrian Balboa. But it is also home to tens of thousands of unique and accomplished women of the past three centuries. One man, Joe Lex, a retired emergency medicine doctor of 45 years, was inspired to learn of the history behind who is buried at this historical cemetery that tells not just Philadelphia's history, but a history of the nation since its founding in 1836. He penned a book that highlights 52 interesting or accomplished women who are buried there, All Bones Considered: 52 Laurel Hill Women This book is a collection of dozens of amazing stories about unique individuals who are long gone. They are based on several years of research, originally developed for the podcasts All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories and Biographical Bytes from Bala: Laurel Hill West Stories. “I encourage fellow taphophiles who have the time and interest to undertake similar projects with their local historic cemeteries,” says Lex. “Every cemetery is an outdoor people museum, ready to be discovered by new generations.”

“Has anything you've done made your life better?” Join Ian, Liam, Megs & Kev for our 317th episode as we confront anger, ideology, consequence, and redemption in Tony Kaye's incendiary and unforgettable American History X (1998). This week, we're also joined by BFF of the BFE: Hermes Auslander, and — in a huge moment for the podcast — we sit down for a special interview with director Tony Kaye himself. This one is heavy. Necessary. Complicated. This week we discuss: Edward Norton's blistering performance — charismatic, terrifying, magnetic. Is this one of the great transformations of the 1990s? The black-and-white vs colour structure — memory, myth, and moral framing. How does the visual language shape our understanding of Derek's journey? The film's central question — can hate be unlearned, and if so, what does it cost? Hermes joins us to unpack the film's cultural and political legacy — why it still resonates, and why it remains controversial. The prison sequence — brutal, pivotal, and narratively dangerous. Does the film handle trauma responsibly? We examine the fine line between depiction and endorsement — does the film risk glamorising the ideology it condemns? The ending — inevitable, devastating, and still capable of knocking the wind out of an audience. What does it ultimately say about cycles of violence? Our special interview with Tony Kaye — reflections on authorship, conflict over the final cut, working with Edward Norton, and how he views the film now, decades later. The legacy question — has the film aged well? Has it been misunderstood? Has it been weaponised? And finally, whether American History X is the Best Film Ever — or one of the most important and confronting films we've ever covered.

As he learns to navigate the world after losing his sight, he's worried about being left out and overlooked — or, just as bad, being seen only in terms of his disability and his athletic gifts.

This week on Pour Minds, Lex P and Drea Nicole are back with a solo episode — just a kickback with the girls — and it goes from unhinged to deep real quick. They start off debating the afterlife and reincarnation (because imagine coming back as a roach??) and spiral into questions nobody can answer: what do we look like when we cross over, do we get signs from loved ones, and do we really come back as somebody—or something—else? The girls also catch up on life updates, gym routines, sleep schedules, and Lex learning the hard way that being “too honest” on the internet will have folks dragging your name for fun. From raggedy car jokes to people tagging you in wild stuff, they talk about setting boundaries with fans, not letting strangers get too comfortable, and why blocking is self-care in 2026.Then they get into a bigger conversation: are people addicted to being offended? Lex and Drea break down rage bait culture, cancel culture, and why folks love acting morally superior online — even when they don’t keep that same energy in real life. Plus, The Bed (brought to you by Salt.xo) gets spicy with hookup etiquette: don’t ghost, wrap it up, be honest about other partners, and for the love of God… don’t be doing mouth-spit activities with a hookup like it’s a committed relationship.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a brief look at how BYB is still angry and confused about Adam's appearance from months ago, we check in on the Golden Hour with Chris D'Elia, Erik Griffin, and Brendan Schaub. They make an announcement that I'm super excited about - a potential live show in Austin. But then they prove why that's a terrible idea with their lack of chemistry, prep and humor. Chris D'Elia looks like a genius compared to Erik and Bapa.  Adam Busch is checking in on Bill Burr and his new ability to just go with the flow and not get pissed. Bill's streak is officially OVER!! In his defense, his garage door broke. Lex is a gay furry who joins the show to answer the hard hitting questions about beastiality and furries having sex with minors. Lex is a good egg! Opie still isn't understanding why every podcaster is better than him, even when Ron explains it to him in simple words. Stuttering John has a disastrous awards show. Everything goes wrong in the funniest ways possible. He then brings on Keanu and shows her how he exploited her leaked OF photos. Megan and Annie join us for a round of “Is It Gay?” and the seventh installment of “Opie or Burr.” We finish up with comments, reviews, and voicemails.  Support us, get bonus episodes, and watch live every Saturday and Wednesday: ⁠http://bit.ly/watp-patreon⁠ ⁠https://watp.supercast.tech/⁠ Come to Hackamania!

On May 30, 2022, the body of a 40-year-old mother of three is found in a creek on the outskirts of Tulsa, Oklahoma. At first, it appears the woman has tragically taken her own life. Questions about the possibility of an accidental death are also raised. The much-loved woman's estranged husband seems just as bewildered about what happened. But soon, evidence reveals a different cause - and manner - of death than what was initially believed. And that's just the beginning of the story. In episode 388, Jac and Lex take you through the devastating case from start to finish, landing at a place of hope for legislation that could change some of these senseless outcomes.
