With its road-worn Distressed Ivory finish, lightweight basswood body, graphite-reinforced quarter-sawn maple neck, ebony fingerboard, and EVH Wolfgang AL2 and AL3 humbuckers, this Wolfgang Special was built to deliver Eddie's signature combination of power, sustain, clarity, and playability. The guitar also features an EVH-branded Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo, EVH D-Tuna, kill switch, and EVH Bourns controls, giving players plenty of tools for dive bombs, squeals, Drop D tuning, and classic Van Halen-style effects. We're taking a look at what makes this limited-edition Wolfgang Special so special, how it connects to Eddie's 2015 touring era, and why it remains such a sought-after EVH Van Halen guitar for collectors and players.

The highly anticipated Fallout pinball machine from Stern Pinball is finally here, and I've played it! In this episode of The Flipside, we break down Keith Elwin's latest creation and ask the big question: Could Fallout be his greatest pinball machine ever? Stern opened the wallet and gave the team the freedom to build one of its most ambitious and feature-packed games to date. Does that make Fallout worth the higher price? Could it also change what players expect from future Stern Pinball releases? More importantly, could this machine inspire pinball fans to explore the Fallout universe while bringing Fallout fans into pinball? We also need to have an honest conversation about Stern's Media Day. A few things happened that made me question whether Stern should restructure the event, establish clearer expectations for attendees and do more to keep the focus on media access instead of allowing it to become someone's personal pinball tournament. Was Stern Media Day a bust? Is Fallout Keith Elwin's best game ever? Does this release set a new standard for Stern Pinball? Let me know what you think in the comments and whether you would choose the Fallout Pro, Premium or Limited Edition or if this one is a “pass” for you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ LOOKING FOR A NEW OR USED PINBALL MACHINE?

Send us Fan MailWe get ready for the Kentucky Bourbon Festival and relive how a bourbon trip becomes a mix of friends, schedules, and chasing the next great pour. Then we dig into why Michter's keeps winning us over and argue about whether festival bottle lines count as real bourbon hunting.• Kentucky Bourbon Festival plans with the full crew, house schedule, and bus tour energy • Bourbon balls for the holidays, merch updates, and where to follow us online • Why Michter's shelf lineup stays consistent and drinkable • Quality-first releases versus mash bill transparency, including skipping a 10-year release • The Michter's rye bottles that changed our minds and shaped our palates • Bottle-your-own at Michter's Fort Nelson, anniversary pours, and the chair story in Shively • What went wrong with last year's long lines and limited allocated bottles • How Jim Beam handled festival sales better, plus why single barrels matter • Whether a festival-only batch release solves the problem or kills the huntPlease, please leave us a five-star review with a review about what you like about usWaiting in a bourbon line for two hours and walking away with nothing changes how you see a festival. We're gearing up for the Kentucky Bourbon Festival with the whole crew, but we also want to talk honestly about what worked, what didn't, and what we hope gets fixed this year, because the festival is supposed to feel like the Super Bowl of bourbon, not a lesson in frustration.We spend a big chunk of time on Michter's, one of our favorite distilleries to drink and to visit. We talk through why Michter's Sour Mash and their core lineup are such reliable pours, how their team protects a consistent flavor profile, and why they're willing to skip a release when it doesn't meet their standard. It turns into a real conversation about whiskey transparency versus quality: do you need the mash bill, or do you trust what's in the glass?Then we jump back into festival strategy. We break down last year's Kentucky Bourbon Festival bottle situation, the Heaven Hill line chaos, and why Jim Beam's setup felt smoother for actual festival-goers. We also spotlight festival single barrel picks as a smart move when allocated bottles get messy, and we dig into a rumor we've heard about a Kentucky Bourbon Festival only release designed to keep people from leaving empty-handed. Of course, that leads to our favorite argument: is the festival still “the hunt,” or is it a stocked pond where you just choose your fish?If you love bourbon travel, distillery visits, allocated bottle drama, and honest tasting talk, hit play.

Alexander works primarily with high-grade Mediterranean and Algerian briar, sometimes incorporating distinctive materials such as mammoth ivory and exotic woods into his designs. His pipes range from lightweight, classic shapes to more expressive freehands, including Danish eggs, Rhodesians, and sandblasted diplomats. Brian and Alexander will talk about his approach to pipe making, the materials he works with, and the inspiration behind his distinctive designs. At the top of the show, Brian will take a look at the history of small-batch and limited-edition pipe tobaccos, including how these special releases have become such an interesting part of the hobby. He'll also give his own take on the appeal of limited and small-batch blends.

They discussed the Hellraiser-themed Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios, including the Pinhead actor, the Hellraiser food truck, and merchandise. They covered the upcoming Hellraiser Resurrections comic one-shots from Boom Studios and a new Fright Rags Hellraiser 2 t-shirt. They mentioned gameplay footage for the Hellraiser Revival video game and expressed some concerns about its mechanics. They reviewed Arrow's upcoming 4K/Blu-ray release of Underworld/Transmutations, comparing its features to the existing Kino Lorber edition. They noted that Clive Barker and Joyce Carol Oates were announced as recipients of the 2026 World Fantasy Life Achievement Award. They also discussed an unused script for Hellraiser 5 (The Hellseeker) by Michael Lent, found through archive research, and compared it to the eventual Hellseeker film. They briefly touched on listener polls for Clive's Contemporaries, Patreon supporters, and other projects like Turbine's Hellraiser releases. Hellraiser Food Truck Planning Ryan and Jose discussed the Hellraiser-themed food truck and haunted attraction at Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando Universal Studios. They examined photos and videos of the Hellraiser setup, including the box design and costume details, and discussed which elements from Hellraiser films 1, 2, and 3 might be featured in the attraction. The conversation was interrupted by technical difficulties and scheduling conflicts, so they agreed to resume the discussion later. Universal Studios Horror Nights Planning Jose and Ryan discussed Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights, focusing on the new Pinhead attraction. Jose shared that scare actors typically earn between $15 and $28 per hour and mentioned key creative team members involved in the haunted house, including John Murdy and Lojo Russo. They noted that the attraction would feature elements from Hellraiser 1, 2, and 3, opening on August 28 in Orlando and September 3 in Hollywood, and requested feedback from anyone attending the event. Hellraiser Content Planning Discussion Ryan and Jose discussed various Hellraiser-related content, including different covers for Deep Gospel and upcoming one-shot comics featuring characters like the female Cenobite and Butterball. They reviewed a new Fright Rags t-shirt design for Hellraiser and Hellbound Hellraiser 2, and briefly discussed gameplay footage for the Hellraiser Revival game, which Ryan preferred not to watch to avoid spoilers. They also touched on Arrow's upcoming release of Underworld/Transmutations on September 6, 2026, and concluded that Ryan was satisfied with his current Ultra HD copy of the film. 4K Blu-ray Release Discussion Jose and Ryan discussed a new 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Limited Edition release of a film featuring Clive Barker's work. The release includes two discs, with the first being 4K Ultra HD and the second being a 1080p version of "Transmutations" instead of "Underworld." Ryan noted that while the 4K disc is region-free, the second disc is region B, which may limit access for some viewers. The release is available for pre-order in the UK for £25 with a retail price of £29.99 and a release date of September 6, 2026. 2026 World Fantasy Awards Announcement Ryan announced that Clive Barker and Joyce Carol Oates will receive the 2026 World Fantasy Awards for Lifetime Achievement, to be presented at a ceremony in Oakland, California from October 22-25. The discussion included recognition of Joyce Carol Oates' notable works and debate about the timing of the award, with Jose noting the benefit of receiving recognition while still alive. Jose also mentioned that Boom Studios plans to release five Hellraiser one-shot comics as a prelude to a new ongoing series by the end of 2027. Hellraiser Content Discussion Jose and Ryan discussed the growing popularity of Hellraiser content among people with limited knowledge of the franchise, comparing it to Scream and expressing frustration with misinformed comparisons. They mentioned upcoming Hellraiser merchandise at Universal Studios, including acrylic standees, mugs, and glasses. Jose recommended exploring the original novella "The Hellbound Heart" and suggested stopping at Hellraiser 4 for movie viewing, while also recommending the 2022 remake. Hellraiser Script Discussion Ryan and Jose discussed a Hellraiser script that was intended to be Hellraiser 5 but was ultimately not picked up. The script, written by Michael Lent, follows a character with amnesia who discovers he was a criminal while being pursued by Cenobites. While the script contains some interesting elements like the character healing from severe burns and the Cenobites being 7 feet tall, Jose and Ryan both found the concept of a computer game called "**** World" to be problematic and unrealistic. The Clive Barker Podcast team, including Ryan, Jose, Don, and guest Marcus, held a discussion focused on various artistic depictions of Pinhead, the iconic character from the Hellraiser series. They examined and compared multiple portraits of Pinhead created by Clive Barker, ranging from early pitch package sketches to later oil paintings and sketches. The conversation covered the evolution of Pinhead's design, different artistic techniques used by Barker, and the significance of the character in Barker's oeuvre. The group also shared personal anecdotes about visiting Barker's studio and handling original manuscripts and artwork. They touched on related topics such as the Hellraiser franchise's enduring popularity, recent merchandise, and potential future projects. The session was informal and celebratory, with participants expressing their appreciation for Barker's art and each other's insights. Clive Barker Art Comparison Discussion The group discussed comparing different versions of Pinhead art by Clive Barker as part of a podcast segment from their recent Kickstarter campaign. Don Bertram and Marcus Williams joined Ryan and Jose to examine various artwork, with Don sharing his personal experience promoting Barker's art at movie theaters using a one-sheet from the Illusion Suite. The conversation included discussion about an eBay listing for the Clive Barker Illusion Suite portfolio, which Don noted was not selling well due to its limited market awareness and the fact that it's only signed on the header page. Pinhead Character Design Evolution The group discussed early artwork and designs for Pinhead from Hellraiser, including a sumi ink drawing from 1986 that was part of a pitch package for New World executives. They examined how the character design evolved from the original novella, noting differences in details like jeweled pins versus nails and the androgynous voice description. The discussion highlighted how Clive Barker's initial concepts were adapted for the film, with Ryan and Don providing insights about the differences between the written description and the final cinematic portrayal. Pinhead Artwork Discussion Review The group discussed various drawings and artwork related to Pinhead and Clive Barker's work. They examined a pencil drawing from 2005 for Nika toys that was later used for a Cenobite diorama and silicone mask. The discussion included details about a hook feature in the artwork that connects to Pinhead's scalp, which Markus confirmed was present in both the drawing and the movie. The participants also reviewed a colorful oil painting done live at Tower Records in 2005, with Don expressing particular appreciation for the red color elements and the desolate landscape background. The conversation concluded with reflections on Clive Barker's reluctance to do live painting demonstrations, as he mentioned to Don that he tends to "show off" rather than focus on the work. Clive Barker Pinhead Art Discussion The group discussed various Clive Barker artwork, focusing on sketches and drawings of Pinhead. Marcus shared several pieces he had found, including black and white sketches with shamanistic elements and silver Sharpie details representing mercury flowing through the character's face. The discussion covered different artistic styles and techniques, with particular attention to Barker's use of negative space in the "V for Vice Versa" piece from his A through Z of Horror book. The conversation also touched on how Barker's Pinhead design has become his most iconic creation, comparing it to Frankenstein in literature. Clive Barker's Pinhead Painting Discussion The group discussed Clive Barker's art, particularly focusing on a large impasto oil painting of Pinhead that Don had seen at a gallery. They examined details of the painting including its thick texture, color choices, and the presence of faces and skulls in the design. The conversation also touched on Chris Valesco, who purchased the painting in 2013 and has worked on soundtracks for games like Overwatch and Mass Effect, though not the new Hellraiser game. The discussion concluded with plans to potentially interview Chris Valesco in the future and to include links to his art collection videos in the show notes.
The crew also discussed the release of a limited-edition Angel Reese Barbie doll, which celebrates the WNBA star’s impact on and off the court. Recent reports note that Mattel’s collectible doll honors Reese’s achievements, philanthropy, and growing cultural influence, further cementing her “Bayou Barbie” brand. Meanwhile, Gary’s Tea sparked conversation around online criticism Reese received after comments about playing with Barbie dolls as a child. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Rickey Smiley Morning Show delivered a blend of breaking news, entertainment, and heartfelt conversation as the crew unpacked several stories generating national attention. The show opened with an update in the ongoing case surrounding Nolan Wells, as his mother, Christine Wonsley, announced that a professional misconduct complaint filed against her nursing license had been closed while her family continues to seek answers about her son’s death. The crew also discussed the release of a limited-edition Angel Reese Barbie doll, which celebrates the WNBA star’s impact on and off the court. Recent reports note that Mattel’s collectible doll honors Reese’s achievements, philanthropy, and growing cultural influence, further cementing her “Bayou Barbie” brand. Meanwhile, Gary’s Tea sparked conversation around online criticism Reese received after comments about playing with Barbie dolls as a child. The show also tackled a heartbreaking Georgia case involving a mother charged with second-degree murder after her 1-year-old son died after being left in a hot car while she worked a hospital shift. The emotional discussion focused on parental responsibility, exhaustion, grace, and whether tragic mistakes should carry criminal consequences, with listeners passionately weighing in on both sides. Ending on a lighter note, the crew celebrated the official premiere date for The Varnell Hill Show, the long-awaited Martin spinoff starring Tommy Davidson, which is set to debut September 1 on Paramount+ with appearances from Martin Lawrence and a star-studded guest lineup. Alongside the headlines, listeners enjoyed lively discussions on Ryan Clark and Sage Steele’s ongoing ESPN controversy, Keke Palmer’s new hosting role on The Voice Celebrity, nostalgic throwback memories, and the humor and commentary that make the show a daily favorite.

Jeremy Holck: Building a Legacy with Bobcat CompanyThis week, Marcus and Melanie welcome Jeremy Holck, Vice President of Sales for Bobcat Company, for a conversation about leadership, American manufacturing, supporting hardworking communities, and building equipment designed to make a lasting impact.As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, Bobcat Company is marking the historic occasion with the release of its limited-edition Founders Edition ZT3500 zero-turn mower. Only 250 individually numbered machines will be produced, each featuring a commemorative Founders Edition badge, American flag accents, blacked-out rims and tailgate, and an upgraded seat platform designed for long days on the job.Jeremy explains how the special edition represents more than a new piece of equipment. It recognizes the operators, business owners and crews who use Bobcat machines to tackle difficult jobs, build stronger businesses and serve their communities.The conversation takes an especially meaningful turn when Bobcat offers to give Marcus one of the exclusive mowers. Rather than accepting it for himself, Marcus asks the company to allow him to pass it along to another deserving veteran—a powerful gesture reflecting the values of service, sacrifice and looking out for those who have served alongside us.Listen in as Jeremy and Marcus discuss Bobcat's enduring legacy, the people behind the machines and how one commemorative mower will become an opportunity to recognize and give back to an American hero.Support Jeremy:- IG: BobcatcompanySupport TNQ - IG: team_neverquit , marcusluttrell , melanieluttrell , huntero13 - https://www.patreon.com/teamneverquitSponsors: - Navyfederal.org - Dripdrop.com/TNQ- quo.com/TNQ - mengotomars.com [Team Never Quit] - bubsnaturals.com [Promo code TNQ] - davidprotein.com/TNQ - mizzenandmain.com [Promo code: TNQ20] - masterclass.com/TNQ - ShopMando.com [Promo code: TNQ] - Tractorsupply.com/hometownheroes - meetfabiric.com/TNQ - Prizepicks (TNQ) - armslist.com/TNQ - PXGapparel.com/TNQ - bruntworkwear.com/TNQ - shipsticks.com/TNQ - stopboxusa.com {TNQ} - Tonal.com [TNQ] - greenlight.com/TNQ - drinkAG1.com/TNQ - Hims.com/TNQ

Episode 230 is here, and this week we're smoking the OZ Family Cigars World Cup 2026 Limited Edition—a cigar with more countries represented than the United Nations.Before the ash even settles, Jerry and Gio recap surviving the second phase of their promotional exams. Then, because no episode ever stays on track, Jerry somehow turns the show into a Jurassic Park documentary by proving he knows an alarming amount about dinosaurs. Naturally, the guys follow that up with their completely unbiased (and probably completely wrong) 2026 World Cup predictions. Gio also drops a special announcement you won't want to miss.Patrol Gone Wild delivers another batch of “you can't make this up” stories featuring a criminal plastic surgeon, another taser deployment that has to be seen to be believed, and some Hall of Fame-level traffic stop trolling.Meanwhile, Caleb's News covers the latest releases from Patina Cigars and Black Label Trading Company, plus a whiskey collaboration that's boldly going where no bourbon has gone before with Star Trek.https://linktr.ee/downtoherfpodcastSupport the show

The following comes from my time this morning with the Lord, and realized it would provide an excellent introduction to what I will release ON SATURDAY as my normal podcast. It is my answer to what is "the state," and why our knowledge of the person of Jesus Christ must define it.
