We all miss Prince. It's a hole that will never be filled. Imagine what it would have been like to be a part of the Revolution during his peak 80s period. He can play every instrument better than his band members, but he's reliant on them to put on incredible concerts and keep his musical instincts in check. It's not an accident that he made his best music when he had them as collaborators "Dr." Matt Fink was at Prince's side playing keyboards for over a decade. Who can forget the cool guy in scrubs and shades in all the videos! Matt joins us this week to discuss his time with Prince - how the songwriting worked, life at Paisley Park, the craziness of Purple Rain, where the band members fit in with the overall sound, and more. Enjoy! www.patreon.com/c/thehustlepod

His innovative keyboard work is a cornerstone of Prince's revolutionary sound, contributing to legendary albums such as "1999," "Purple Rain," and "Sign o' the Times." The album "Purple Rain" and its accompanying film catapulted the band to international superstardom, with Fink's dynamic performances leaving an indelible mark on the music world.After the disbandment of The Revolution in 1986, Fink continued to collaborate with Prince on several projects and later embarked on his own musical ventures. He formed his own production company, StarVu, and has been involved in producing, composing, and playing keyboards for various artists across multiple genres.Matt Fink's enduring legacy is a testament to his talent and versatility, as he remains a beloved figure in the world of music, celebrated for his contributions to one of the most influential acts in pop history.________Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Prince featured the "Upper Room with Joe Kelley and Gi Dussault" on his official website www.npgmusicclub.com.

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods didn't know what the theme of the episode should be, so they went back to the subject line of Hythloday's email from last week, 'Asinus ad lyram.' What does it mean? It really doesn't matter, right? It just sounded cool so that is the direction the guys went this week. As far as Pac-12 football topics go, the guys get into the new naming rights deal for Washington State's football field, Alabama inside linebacker Brandon Kaho transferring to UCLA, USC quarterback Matt Fink hanging up his cleats, more offensive attrition for the Washington Huskies and if Jayden Daniels is the top returning quarterback in the conference. And as always they spend time answering every single question listeners manage to send in! Please subscribe, give the POC a five-star rating and post a review on Apple Podcasts!

Join host Rich Mahan as he welcomes the legendary Revolution keyboardist Matt Fink for his recollections on making Prince’s masterwork SIGN O’ THE TIMES.
Most casual Prince fans know Purple Rain was partially filmed at First Avenue. But did you know the title song is a live recording, taped at First Ave a few months before filming started? In this episode, we meet Prince and the Revolution at a benefit show for Minnesota Dance Theatre, where they debuted "Purple Rain" in support of dance and community. This is the fourth episode of The Current Rewind's "10 Pivotal Days at First Avenue" season. If you missed the first three episodes, catch up below. • April 3, 1970 (The day it all began)• Nov. 28-29, 1979 (The days that told the future)• Sept. 27, 1982 (Bad Brains/Sweet Taste of Afrika/Hüsker Dü) Transcript of The Current Rewind season 2, episode 4: "Aug. 3, 1983" ["Purple Rain" chords, but trembly and slowed-down. After several seconds, the music snaps into the original version, and we hear the lyrics, "I never meant to cause you any sorrow/ I never meant to cause you any pain."] Mark Wheat VO: After three episodes and 13 years of First Avenue's history, we've arrived at the song. The song that evokes an artist, a movie, and to some, a period of mourning: "Purple Rain." ["Purple rain, purple rain" fades into "Hive Sound" by Icetep] Mark Wheat VO: [over theme] I'm Mark Wheat. This is The Current Rewind, the show putting music's unsung stories on the map. For our second season, we're exploring the history of First Avenue, the downtown Minneapolis venue that has become one of the Twin Cities' – and the country's – greatest clubs. Most casual Prince fans know that scenes from the 1984 movie Purple Rain were filmed at First Avenue. The version of "Purple Rain" that you hear in the movie and the soundtrack was recorded live at First Avenue, but not at the same time the movie was filmed. Just a few months before the cameras rolled, Prince hadn't yet written the song. He first performed it on August 3, 1983 at First Avenue, during a benefit show for the Minnesota Dance Theatre. He had the show recorded, and when we listen to "Purple Rain" today, we're hearing him and the Revolution play it live for the very first time. In this episode, we'll explore the story of that song and that amazingly unique one-off performance, along with Prince's relationship to Minnesota Dance Theatre – a tale that captures Prince's ethos as a musician and a community member. So far this season, guest hosts have lent their voices to each episode of Rewind. But by this point, the coronavirus pandemic has complicated our production. So we here at The Current will step in to host a few episodes, including this one, which I was quite fond of from the beginning. It takes place when I had just moved to the United States, for good, in 1983. [rewind noise] Mark Wheat VO: The early 1980s were a transition moment in Minnesota music. Artists from two different local scenes were breaking out. On the indie rock side, the Replacements and Hüsker Dü were stirring up mosh pits all across the country. And Prince had just become a national star through the success of his fifth album, 1999. David Z: I mean, it was exciting, because Prince was our local star, and he had the beginning of success before this. I mean, he did do Dirty Mind. Mark Wheat VO: This is David Z, Prince's longtime producer – and brother of The Revolution drummer Bobby Z. David Z: So I mean, he wasn't a nobody, but he wasn't internationally famous at all. It was kind of a local thing, and we were all happy because we always wanted somebody from Minneapolis to make it. Mark Wheat VO: And before the world knew Prince's music – along with his slides, splits, spins and pelvic thrusts, he studied ballet with Minnesota Dance Theatre. [audio of a Minnesota Dance Theatre rehearsal] Mark Wheat VO: Renowned choreographer Loyce Houlton founded Minnesota Dance Theatre in 1962. They still teach classical and contemporary dance, and over the last 50 years, they've presented one of the best-attended performances of The Nutcracker in the country. In the '70s, the theater participated in Minneapolis Public Schools' Urban Arts Program, which Prince joined as a high school student. After Loyce's passing in 1995, her daughter Lise Houlton took over as artistic director. Lise Houlton: My mother and Wally Kennedy were developing this program in the Twin Cities for those us of who didn't fit in the traditional academic life. That's how my mother met Prince, through the urban arts program. And I think that she saw immediately that he had a special spark, that there was something – she used to talk about the combination of this insatiable appetite and this sadness that came together in some sort of combustion of energy, and I think because she had a similar quality that they had this common ground. Mark Wheat VO: You can catch the dance moves he mastered in Minnesota in some of his music videos. Lise Houlton: In the ballet world there's a step that's challenging and that we all have to do, and it's called an entrechat six, and it's where you do three beats in the air. You jump up, you do three beats and you land. Prince could do an entrechat six, and you learn that in a ballet class. That's not an instinctive move, because you do it with turnout, which is unnatural to the human body. He did tour en l'airs, where you jump in the air. Tour en l'airs. He did pirouettes with excellent placement, and that was combined with his jazz aesthetic and already his own personal grind. Mark Wheat VO: A few years after Prince graduated, Minnesota Dance Theatre needed financial help, and Loyce decided to get back in touch. As the Star Tribune reported at the time, she found out where Prince was staying in town and stood outside, waiting to ask if he could do a benefit show. Lise Houlton: But that was her style. If she believed in somebody, if she wanted to have a connection with an extraordinary talent, she did that sort of thing. That was her reputation as being a little bit crazy. But I think once again, that's where Prince and my mother saw their connection. Mark Wheat VO: Prince said yes, and First Avenue hosted the concert. Right after Prince played "Little Red Corvette," his biggest hit to date, Loyce Houlton took the mic to thank him for his support. It was guitarist Wendy Melvoin's first time on stage with Prince – and therefore, the first time the Revolution's classic line-up performed together, even though they weren't billed as such. Along with Prince and Wendy, there was drummer Bobby Z, bassist Brown Mark, keyboardists Lisa Coleman and Matt Fink, aka Dr. Fink. It was also the night Prince recorded "Baby I'm A Star," "I Would Die 4 U," and "Purple Rain" – right there at First Avenue, live. David Z: And you'll see that there's not very much added or changed to the original performance, especially with the song "Purple Rain." Mark Wheat VO: It was normal for Prince to have David record his performances, so no one expected anything unusual to happen. David Z: Nobody really knew there was a movie coming out. We just thought it was gonna be a live record, or whatever. Mark Wheat VO: And as Dr. Fink recalls, it wasn't the most comfortable environment. Matt Fink: We all knew it was a hot, muggy summer night and that First Avenue would be packed, and it would be very uncomfortable for older people to be standing in there. And we were right, 'cause we were all drenched with sweat within two minutes of taking the stage, because that's how hot it was in there. The air conditioning wasn't keeping up. It was back when people smoked cigarettes in clubs. So not only did you have [Dr. Fink laughs] all the heat and humidity and bodies and cigarette smoke, but it was just very difficult to be comfortable. Mark Wheat VO: According to First Avenue's records, about 1200 people bought tickets to the show. On an average night in 1983, a Mainroom show would run about five bucks, but tickets to this benefit were $25 – the equivalent of about $60 today. Including staff and an extensive guest list, about 1,500 people were in the club that night. First Avenue manager Steve McClellan was just trying not to overpack the place. Steve McClellan: I had to go and tell people, except for the really important VIP list, it's not good for you tonight. Because my goal was to keep my list under 100, Prince's was supposed to be under 100, Minnesota Dance Theatre was supposed to be under 100. That night that all went blowin' in the wind. The guest lists poured in, and that's why that night, everybody says, "Well, why didn't you watch the show?" I remember between having to get the numbers together – because I thought I would have to pay the Minnesota Dance Theatre that night, so I had to get all my costs together. Because it was a $25 ticket. We'd never done a $25 ticket before. And so I knew that the money was gonna be big. Mark Wheat VO: When we had Steve and veteran doorperson Richard Luka in for an interview, we asked Richard what he was up to that night. Richard Luka: I was at the back door, and I could see everything from behind. "Why isn't he playing anything familiar here? What the hell's this stuff?" And but then there also this people going in and out through the garage to this truck that was out there. Turns out they were recording everything. Nobody knew that there was gonna be a movie within a year or so of that. None of us knew. That's why when you come back to a night like that – well, you know, it had sort of a cultural impact further down the line. But when you're in those moments you don't know that. So it's like, "This jerk just wants to get inside right now." No. You're Prince's cousin. Aren't we all. No, you can't come in. And we're dealing with things on an interpersonal level like that, whereas up there they're doing this thing that's gonna be here, and then it's gonna go out all over the world later. Steve McClellan: I do remember hearing "When Doves Cry" the first time. There were certain times when I was able to stand and go, "Oh, pretty good." But, you know, life goes on. Mark Wheat VO: Maybe Steve and Richard didn't get to experience the full show, but Prince fan Heidi Vader couldn't tear herself away. Heidi Vader: It was so hot, so hot and so crowded. Mark Wheat VO: When the band played "Purple Rain," the crowd didn't know what to make of it. Heidi Vader: The song seemed to go on forever. So the audience was – you know – listening. They were paying attention, but nobody was freaking out and excited. And it was nothing like the movie, and nobody had all their costumes on, like in the movie. [Heidi laughs] Mark Wheat VO: According to Dr. Fink, Prince and his band had just started practicing "Purple Rain" a couple of weeks before the show. Matt Fink: Prince didn't write that one 'til the very end, which is more about like mid-to-late July of '83. He brought that song to the group. He hadn't finished the lyrics. He hadn't finished the melody. All he had was the chord structure and he came to us and said, "Ok, let's try this; let's just start jamming on this chord progression I've got for this song." And then we all coalesced into what you hear live. And even at that live show, he improvised his guitar solo somewhat. [about 10 seconds of the "Purple Rain" guitar solo] Matt Fink: He wasn't playing it exactly like he did it every time at rehearsal. Nor was I playing my piano parts exactly the same at rehearsal that evening. It just did what it did. Mark Wheat VO: Kevin Cole, a former First Avenue DJ who now hosts the afternoon show at KEXP in Seattle, remembers there being cameras that night. Kevin Cole: At that point in time, we were experimenting with filming sessions, or, filming performances at the club, that we would then give to the band. So there's footage floating around out there of that very first performance from a different perspective. [cheers from the live bootleg fade up] Kevin Cole: One of the cameras is to the left of the stage and above the stage, looking down, kinda right where Prince was playing from. And it's remarkable, but you're also seeing the audience. People are just stunned watching that song. Mark Wheat VO: In fact, the crowd was so quiet, David Z had to tweak the recording. David Z: When it came time for the movie, I cheated and put a crowd from the Minnesota Vikings in the audience track. Mark Wheat VO: Because technology at the time couldn't record wireless bass well, Prince added in some bass overdubs. Heidi remembers the song being long because it was. Prince cut five minutes and still ended up with a nine-minute song. David Z recorded the show in a truck from the New York-based Record Plant, which was considered the best in the industry at the time. Meanwhile, director Albert Magnoli was working with Prince on the early stages of a movie, which didn't have a name yet. He and Prince had gone through about a hundred songs that could go into the movie, but Magnoli felt they were still missing a piece. Al Magnoli: Interestingly enough, there was no "Purple Rain" in that 100 songs. Mark Wheat VO: During a recent trip to Minnesota, he elaborated in an interview with The Current host Jill Riley. Al Magnoli: So I went to him, after I lined up what I thought was the storyline and lined up the songs...and said, we're missing the song – that catalyst, in all of this journey – that song that releases you finally to become the person you should become. And he said, ok, I got another song to write. Mark Wheat VO: The director came to town to scout out locations for the movie and hear new songs from the band that night. When he heard "Purple Rain," he knew it was the one song he needed. Our producer Jackie Renzetti called him up and asked him why "Purple Rain" worked. Al Magnoli: Well, it had the right pacing and it had the right lyric content. It had the right soulfulness and emotion. And it wasn't like anything he had done before. To me, it was a unique sounding piece, and that's what I was looking for. He obviously knew he had that song when I said we didn't have the song. So he didn't immediately say, "Oh, I've got a song that would fit the bill." He didn't say that. He performed it, not realizing that I would approach and then say that could be the song. I said, "What's it called," and he says, "'Purple Rain,'" and then there's a pause, and he says, "Could we call the movie Purple Rain?" and I go, "Yes." Mark Wheat VO: By the end of the night, Prince had raised $23,000 for Minnesota Dance Theatre. That's the equivalent of about $60,000 today. Although Prince would go on to perform dozens of philanthropic acts – giving to music education and coding programs; buying houses for his band members; and paying medical bills for loved ones – few of them would be so public. David Z: He would give money to people without trying to use it as publicity. Nothing! And then he would do charity, but in his own way of the true meaning of charity, which is not get all these people recognizing you for it. He just did it and didn't want the recognition. He just wanted to do a good thing and pay it back. Mark Wheat VO: Our producer, Cecilia Johnson, asked The Current host and Prince expert Andrea Swensson to put his giving in perspective. Andrea Swensson: Prince was raised in a really pivotal time just in history, during the civil rights movement and during the political uprising that was happening in North Minneapolis in the 1960s. His mother was a social worker. He was also partly raised by Bernadette Anderson, who was a huge community figure. [She] worked at the YWCA and was just really admired as a leader. I mean, Prince's philanthropy goes back to the very beginning of his career. I remember his bandmates telling me stories of, even on their first couple of tours, they would squeeze in shows to play at community centers or play for the Deaf or do something out of their way to give back to the community. It was clearly something that Prince really valued. And that went all the way up until the end of his life, when he was funding projects like Yes We Code, and sending money to Baltimore, and honoring Freddie Gray in his music. He just had that spirit in him. I think it really goes back to coming up in North Minneapolis and being so involved in the community there and being raised by community leaders like Bernadette Anderson and like his mother, Mattie Shaw. It was just part of who he was. Cecilia Johnson:: So what else was going on in the early '80s when Prince was starting to have this huge rise, in terms of philanthropy or giving or like celebrity? Andrea Swensson: Yeah, well there's "We Are The World," which was a huge moment culturally, as all of these stars came together to record this song. There was Live Aid. U2 coming up – that was something that they really preached, and I think it just became part of the pop music culture, that in order to be, like, a good citizen, that if you were successful, that you should use some of your power and your money to give back. But also, Prince was very discreet about his generosity. He did not do it for his own name or reputation or personal brand. It was just something that he valued, and especially later on as he became more religious, explicitly, with converting to Jehovah's Witness, it was a huge part of his faith as well, that that was not something that you were supposed to advertise. That's not why you give. That's not why you give money or help people in the community. You do it because it's important and because you value it. Mark Wheat VO: We might not ever really know who all Prince helped. But we know he donated to a lot of programs centered on youth and community. At the Circle of Discipline in South Minneapolis, Sankara Frazier wrote a letter to Prince asking for funding to help keep his community boxing program going. Prince ended up making multiple contributions over the years. Our producer Jackie visited Circle of Discipline to ask how Sankara felt when he got the checks. Sankara Frazier: I wasn't surprised. I wasn't surprised. Prince helped a lot of people. He saw what we were doing, with all of the young people and our older people. We have – you know, the community comes in here. And he saw what we were doing, community-wise, we're putting a lot of people together, people that wouldn't be together, you know? This right here, the boxing, was something that they grew up around. He didn't box – as far as I know, he didn't didn't box – but they know the importance, and how it develops a lot of the youth into better people. Worthy cause. We're working with the community. Mark Wheat VO: Sankara was part of Prince's community from a young age. As kids, he lived with Prince and André Cymone, one of Prince's best friends and earliest bandmates. Speaking with Jackie, Sankara used the phrase "behind the scenes" to describe Prince as a community member. But although his actions may have been discreet, they were full of love for his cities. Sankara Frazier: Oh, Prince was, he was down for Minneapolis. He was down. All of the people that had opportunities and stuff that were with him, they got him here. You know, so he decided to put this on the map. That's why, you know, even making Purple Rain, he's putting Minnesota on the map. Yeah, I give him credit for that. Mark Wheat VO: To Lise, Prince's support of Minnesota Dance Theatre has been about more than just the money. Lise Houlton: He's continuing to have an impact on Minnesota Dance Theatre, because every time this subject is brought up, Minnesota Dance Theatre is right there in the story, and once again, for me, having been so surprised with this event that happened in the '80s when I was far away, to feel those repercussions still is such a gift. Mark Wheat VO: His legacy continues to inspire community work, especially among his longtime fans. Heidi Vader, who saw the August '83 show, told Cecilia that she sensed a vacuum in the fan community after Prince's death. She wanted to unite people behind something healing. So in 2017, she started a music education program called Purple Playground. Each summer, Purple Playground runs a two-week music camp where young students write their own music and record it. They also hear from guest speakers about Prince's legacy and what it's like to be a professional musician. [Purple Playground's song "Purple Playground" plays for several seconds] Heidi Vader: They write, like, five or eight songs, and then we record them. And we put them out, and they're on our website. And we ended up with these inspiring songs about supporting each other and loving yourself and believing in yourself, and all this stuff. That's what we were hoping but we didn't know it would happen – you know. They come in, these kids who – a couple of them knew each other, but a lot of them don't know each other. And then they're, immediately, like within an hour, they're like "Let's do this," back and forth, and yeah. So some of the songs will make you cry. ["Purple Rain" "twinkling" arpeggios and cymbal washes from the end of the song, with cheers from the audience. Prince tells the crowd, "We love you very, very much. Good night!" "Hive Sound" by Icetep fades up and plays under the credits.] Cecilia Johnson VO: And there you have it. Mark Wheat's final contribution to The Current and The Current Rewind.

The 1999 Tour was no routine trek: referred to as the “Triple Threat Tour,” the Time and Vanity 6 toured as openers for the band starting to be known as Prince and the Revolution. By the summer of 1983, “Little Red Corvette” had become a top 10 hit and Prince was one of the first black artists to be placed into rotation on MTV. Host Andrea Swensson is joined by Brenda Bennett, Bobby Z, Tom Marzullo, Michael Howe, Matt Fink, Roy Bennett, Lisa Coleman, Jellybean Johnson, Dez Dickerson, Brittany Howard, Fred Armisen, and Nile Rodgers.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got up bright and early Saturday morning in lieu of a pregame show on SportsRadio KJR to record a preview podcast to get you geared up and informed ahead of the USC-Washington game at 12:30 pm. They talked about USC's key missing players, including quarterback Kedon Slovis, safety Talanoa Hufanga, and Olaijah Griffin, as well as spotlight the two or three key matchups that should tell the tale between the Trojans and Huskies. Obviously there's going to be a lot of attention paid to the first career start for USC quarterback Matt Fink. Having that first start at Husky Stadium in front of a raucous crowd against him won't help things. But Fink has plenty of playmakers around him, especially at receiver (Michael Pittman, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Tyler Vaughns). But will USC try and slow things down and ground the Air Raid a little bit to find their football via the run game? And when it comes to Washington's offensive line going up against USC's defensive line, UW senior center Nick Harris already referred to the matchup as a 'bloodbath'. The Huskies know they're going to have their hands full, but it takes two to tango, and UW's offensive line is feeling good about themselves and riding some positive momentum after an impressive 45-19 win at BYU.

No. 21 USC hit the road once again to face the defending Pac-12 Champions in No. 17 Washington. The Trojans will go Matt Fink as their starting quarterback with Kedon Slovis officially ruled out for the game. They'll also be down two key starters in the secondary in safety Talanoa Hufanga and cornerback Olaijah Griffin. Matt and Dina breakdown Saturday's game and discuss who will step up for the Trojans. Also the duo will make their Pac-12 picks and debate Coffee Bean and Starbucks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Just as expected. USC lost its starting quarterback Kedon Slovis on the second play of the game against Utah, had negative rushing yards going into the fourth quarter, was penalized 11 times for 117 yards, lost the turnover battle and yet...still found a way to beat the No. 10 team in the nation, 30-23, to take a step forward in the Pac-12 South standings. Just as everyone expected the game would play out. It was yet another twist on the 2019 season saga that is "As the Trojans Turn..." USC football seems to do a 180-degree turn each week this season. What is thought one week ends up being reversed the next week it seems as the Trojans ride a wave. A week after USC fans were calling for Clay Helton to join Lynn Swann goodbye train following an overtime road loss to BYU, the Trojans bounced back and upset the Pac-12 favorites with their third-string quarterback and an offense that couldn't run the ball. Say what? Who? How? Yep, USC was outgained in pretty much every significant statistical category and found a way to win at home in the Coliseum. Keely Eure and Shotgun Spratling return to the USCfootball.com studio with a new episode of the Family Feud Podcast to assess just how the Trojans were able to get a victory and how seemingly forgotten redshirt junior Matt Fink rose to the occasion, showing no fear after entering for Slovis. Keely and Shotgun are looking to feature your question on an upcoming episode.

There's always some kind of drama lurking around Heritage Hall. This season it's all about dealing with some leadership changes with a new university president and trying to find a new athletic director, as well as the ever-shifting status of head coach Clay Helton. That's why we had to go straight to the source and talk to USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham to get the facts behind what's going on with the Men of Troy. Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds talked to Abraham about the embattled Helton and whether or not he has staying power as USC's head man. Abraham called the 26-13 win over Washington in 2016 the best win of Helton's career. They talked about USC's new offensive identity, trying to run the ball within the new Air Raid concepts brought in by Graham Harrell, whether or not quarterback Jack Sears will return to USC, who will back up Matt Fink if he gets hurt, will USC run the ball more to protect Fink on Saturday at Husky Stadium, and more. Defensively, they talked about the USC front, including true freshman defensive lineman Drake Jackson, their linebackers, the loss of Talanoa Hufanga and Olaijah Griffin, shoring up perceived tackling issues, and more. They also talked about the difference for the Trojans playing on the road, compared to in LA. According to Abraham, there's definitely a difference. Learn more about your ad choices.

Chris Petersen used the word 'calculus' this week to describe the 'big test' ahead of Washington on Saturday. The No. 21 USC Trojans are coming to town, and it doesn't matter of JT Daniels, Kedon Slovis, Matt Fink, or Brandon Perdue plays quarterback for USC...that's not something Petersen can control. What Petersen is very concerned about is UW's response to whoever is throwing the passes for USC, as well as defending who is on the other end of those passes. And in that sense, he knows the Huskies are in for the biggest exam so far in a young-ish 2019 season. "Test day is on Saturday, and this is a big test," Petersen told the media on Thursday. "This is a big exam, for sure. Hard one. Lot of calculus out there trying to solve. Fast and tight situations, so we'll see how we do." He also talked a little bit more about the subtle (and not so subtle) differences between USC's Air Raid attack and that of Washington State, the atmosphere Husky Stadium could generate on Saturday, how some of his younger defensive backs have risen to the challenge of starting early in their careers, and more.

With their game against USC this weekend, the Huskies have plenty of challenges to prepare for. First off, which quarterback will be at the helm of the Trojans' offensive attack? Kedon Slovis missed all but two plays of USC's big win over Utah last week and there is still some concern he might not be ready to go by the time they take the field against the Huskies on Saturday. Washington defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake isn't necessarily worried about who takes the snaps (Slovis or Matt Fink) since the concepts of the Trojan offense are the same no matter who winds up distributing the ball, but he is more concerned about his players staying focused on their technique, their rules and making plays when the opportunity presents itself. Ikaika Malloe's charges have their work cut out for them this weekend with USC's running game and trying to get some quick pressure on the young quarterback for the Trojans. He likes what he has seen from some of his younger players, especially now that they've gotten reps on the field, and he feels like the depth that USC has at every position has allowed them to absorb some of the injuries they've suffered and not missed a step. Jordan Paopao loves the progress that his players have made, especially Hunter Bryant and his efforts as far as blocking is concerned. The question also had to be asked, what was it like when they talked to Devin Culp about missing his block on the fake field goal attempt and how it was a great learning experience for the young player. There's been a bit of adversity for running backs coach Keith Bhonapha to deal with as Salvon Ahmed has been determined to be week-to-week due to an injury, but he had players like Sean McGrew and Richard Newton step in and handle things and handled it well. Lastly, Bush Hamdan said the offense is making progress, but he never wants to say they are where they want to be because the moment you do that, you can lay an egg and now you're right back where you started.

Fall camp is in full swing...and now unofficially over as USC football turns to mock game week and then prepares for its season opener against Fresno State after hosting a Fall Showcase event at the Coliseum on Saturday. The Fall Showcase gave the fans a first look at some of the Coliseum renovations and USC's new Graham Harrell-led Air Raid style of offense. It also gave the media a final look at the Trojans practicing this season as media access for the first time will now be restricted to only the first 20 minutes of Tuesday and Wednesday practices, which basically accounts for the team stretching and one or two individual drills each day. That put extra emphasis on the Fall Showcase, particularly with a four-man quarterback competition still taking place between JT Daniels, Jack Sears, Matt Fink and Kedon Slovis, and the action on the field as the Trojans scrimmaged for 87 minutes. Keely Eure and Shotgun Spratling return for a new episode of the Family Feud Podcast to break down all the action of fall camp and what took place during USC's sneak peak on Saturday. The USCfootball.com dynamic duo return to their in-season format with Stock Up/Stock Down, Heard it on the Sidelines and Agree/Disagree segments before answering all of your listener-submitted questions (of which there were many). During the Stock Up portion, Keely and Shotgun both point out where defensive linemen continue to have success, with freshman Drake Jackson's stock continuing to point toward the sky. But he's not the only freshman defender that has caught the eye of both Keely and Shotgun. Inside linebacker Ralen Goforth continues to get a lot of opportunities during team and scrimmage portions and is making the most of the them making plays seemingly every practice. But not everything is peachy for the cardinal and gold. The Family Feudsters also break down what aspects of USC football are seeing their stock decline, including the Trojans' offensive line that was unable to establish a rushing attack at all during the Fall Showcase. The feudsters conclude with your questions, trying to answer the more than 15 questions you guys submitted, tackling topics such as emulation of Nick Saban, draft eligibility, fall camp adjustments, short yardage situations, starting quarterback dissidents, shutout streaks, balancing evaluations, recruiting attractors and sideline demeanors. Needless to say this episode is overbrimming with debates of a variety of fall camp topics. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

USC football's offseason is already off to the races. The Trojans finished their spring practice schedule on April 13, but they have continued to have developments since. They likely lost another player to the transfer portal as quarterback Matt Fink announced his intentions to enter a few days after spring camp's conclusion. But on Friday, USC finally got an addition from the portal, grabbing a commitment from offensive lineman Drew Richmond. Keely Eure and Shotgun Spratling return with the latest edition of the Family Feud Podcast to discuss the latest roster development for USC and their reaction to how the 2019 NFL draft played out for the Trojans. The 6-foot-6, 320-pound Richmond comes to the Trojans from the University of Tennessee where he made 25 starts, including starting all 12 games at right tackle last year for the Volunteers. But what will he bring to the Trojans in his final year of eligibility? Shotgun discusses how Richmond's experience will provide leadership for the Trojans and how the added competition the offensive line will have with Richmond being thrown in the mix will push the group to be stronger. The Richmond addition could also follow a pattern set by another graduate transfer at USC, Keely says, before posing the question of how the offensive line lineup could be shaken up by Richmond's presence. The USCfootball.com duo then break down how the NFL draft played out with four USC players being selected, five Trojans signing as undrafted free agents and two others earning minicamp invites with teams. Chuma Edoga was selected first at No. 92 overall by the Jets in the third round. That was followed by Iman Marshall in the fourth round by the Ravens, Marvell Tell III a round later by the Colts as a cornerback and Cameron Smith by the Vikings in the fifth round. Which draftee found the best fit? What do each of the four draft picks have to do to make an impact with their teams? Which of the undrafted players have the best shot at pushing their way past other offseason additions to make a roster or at least a practice squad? And how does it affect Clay Helton and the program that there were no Trojans selected in the top two rounds of the draft? The Family Feud Podcasters answer those draft questions and your listener-submitted questions about the summer player-run practices, recruiting outside of Southern California, Reggie Bush's future with USC and how his new position at FOX affects the NCAA sanctions that have loomed over him and the football program for a decade now. Lastly, USCfootball.com's Chris Trevino asks whether a hot dog is a sandwich, leading to a deep dive into hot dog cuisine. We are looking to feature your question on an upcoming episode.

USC football's spring camp is over. It was a spring of change. New offensive system. New roles for several coaches. New emphases on discipline and turnovers. And as always, some new players stepping in -- a couple making immediate impacts. But already there has been change since the Trojans' camp came to a close as well. Just days after USC finished its allotted 15 practices, redshirt junior quarterback Matt Fink announced his intentions to enter the transfer portal. Keely Eure and Shotgun Spratling return with the latest edition of the Family Feud Podcast to discuss the totality of the Trojans' spring camp, including the standouts, what we heard on the sidelines and from the coaches and the chances that Fink will find a new home during the summer or if he might be back in cardinal and gold in the fall. The USCfootball.com duo start the show with a discussion about Fink's situation and looking ahead at this weekend's NFL draft, discussing where some of the Trojans could hear their names called. That includes trying to figure out what exactly a failed drug test with a doctor's excuse could mean for outside linebacker Porter Gustin. Once they get into the Stock Up/Stock Down segment, Keely rattles off a laundry list of players that she thought stood out in a positive manner this spring. Atop her choices are a pair of defensive linemen -- Jay Tufele and Drake Jackson -- that look like they could be elite playmakers in the backfield. Shotgun's Stock Up list starts with new offensive coordinator Graham Harrell and the impact he's had over the five weeks of practice. His list is shorter and includes some of Keely's choices but for some different reasons. On the flip side, both feudsters have concerns on the defensive side of the ball in the back seven. The future of the starting cornerbacks is questioned in Keely's Stock Down as no one has yet separated himself from the pack. Clancy Pendergast's decision to move several linebackers to different positions is also a concern that the duo have after not getting much clarity in the final couple of practices. In the 'Heard it on the Sidelines' segment, the USCfootball.com pair dissect Clay Helton's extremely positive comments about the offense's ability to run the football and whether that is/can be a strength for the team. They also look at the intensity infusion that Johnny Nansen and Chad Kauha'aha'a have combined to give the defense and what some of the players have been saying to their teammates during practices. Should fans be positive coming out of spring? It seems like a preposterous thing to say for USC fans after a 5-7 season, but Keely and Shotgun discuss why it should be considered in the 'Agree/Disagree' portion of the show. The Family Feud Podcast also answers listener-submitted questions about how the team should be marketed following that 5-7 season and why JT Daniels seems to have so many haters.

[Sign up with TrojanSports.com for the most in-depth and comprehensive coverage of USC football and recruiting.](https://usc.n.rivals.com/users/sign_up/151)
USC's spring is winding down. The Trojans only have two practices remaining and have already had their "spring showcase." That showcase was essentially just a televised practice instead of an actual spring game, which was not feasible because of the Coliseum's renovations and the team's major depth issues at particular positions. Keely Eure and Shotgun Spratling return with the latest edition of the Family Feud Podcast to discuss what to take away from the "spring showcase" and the coaches' assessment of that "spring showcase." In the Stock Up/Stock Down segment, Keely and Shotgun both are quick to talk about the one-handed interception by defensive lineman Drake Jackson that stole the show(case). Jackson also had a sack and continues to standout even amongst a cadre of quality defensive linemen, which Shotgun also incorporates into his Stock Up segment. Shotgun's answers surprisingly follow closely to Keely's Stock Up list from last week as he includes the work of underclassmen John Jackson III and Markese Stepp. Keely's risers include more veterans than youngsters as she highlights the adaptability of the offense being able to still compete despite missing its top three offensive tackles as well as the work that redshirt senior cornerback Dominic Davis has been putting in. While discussing the cornerbacks, Shotgun goes into his Stock Down list to point out that he has yet to see a cornerback solidify himself as a starter during the spring. He also has middle linebacker John Houston Jr. trending down as he's been working with the second team more and more the last week while Jordan Iosefa has been playing alongside Palaie Gaoteote IV. On Keely's list are USC's inconsistent philosophies and having the "spring showcase" not be the end of the spring camp. She also raises her concerns about a defense that isn't being talked about frequently. Shotgun debates whether that is just a product of a new offense versus the same defense with there just being more interest in what is new or if it's partly because it's hard to get a full read on the defense with so many positional contender MIA this spring. The quarterbacks take over the second half of the podcast. In the 'Heard it on the Sidelines' segment, the USCfootball.com duo dissect offensive coordinator Graham Harrell's comments about all four quarterbacks and where he sees them at this spring. They look at the duality of Harrell's breakdown on the positive and negatives for Jack Sears, Matt Fink, Kedon Slovis and JT Daniels. And is reading into it too much to look at Harrell's order of delivery of each quarterback? The question is posed whether any of the quarterbacks has actually stood out this spring during the 'Agree/Disagree' portion of the show and when the Feudsters answer your questions, they also look at the possibility of transfers from the quarterback group following the eventual naming of a starter. The Family Feud Podcast also answers listener-submitted questions about running backs, an alternate theory on Lynn Swann bringing back Clay Helton and a ranking of the new coaches.

Chuck had a long history of writing about and talking with Jack Bogle. In fact, when Bogle entered the hospital in December, he had planned to talk with Chuck in mid-January when he came out and got back to work. Instead, the founder of the Vanguard Group and the man behind index investing took a turn for the worst and died at age 89 on Jan. 16. In this special Martin Luther King Day tribute to Bogle, Chuck talks about his time spent with Bogle, reminisces with Matt Fink -- the longtime leader of the mutual fund industry's primary trade association -- and rebroadcasts Jack Bogle's last appearances on the show, from Jan. 8-9, 2018.
This year, Prince's powerful backing band The Revolution are touring to celebrate the legacy they share with the late icon, and will be playing Emo's Austin on December 29th. And one key member who will be performing live is Matt Fink, better known as 'Dr. Fink.' The keyboardist, always clad in signature scrubs, was instrumental in crafting many Prince classics, co-writing tracks like 'Dirty Mind' and 'Computer Blue,' and played on classic Prince albums including 'Controversy,' '1999,' 'Purple Rain,' 'Sign O' The Times' and 'Parade.' On today's podcast episode, Fink and I discuss why the band decided to reunite after Prince's death, the challenges of performing the band's iconic material without their frontman/mastermind/multi-instrumentalist, plans for potential new material, memories of the band's 80's heyday (including filming Purple Rain) and much more. *This episode is sponsored by pocketcasts.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/slis/support
Coach Harvey Hyde breaks down what he saw in USC's 43-21 victory over UNLV to start the 2018 season. Special thanks to our sponsor ZipRecruiter. Try it for free at ziprecruiter.com/style We start off talking about the offense that Coach Hyde thinks looks the exact same as last year and he has real concerns with the lack of physicality in the red zone. When USC got down inside the 20, it was all quarterback JT Daniels and the receivers instead of the offensive line and the run game. Coach Hyde wants to see more smash mouth football when you get down close and he isn’t seeing that. We also had a question from Earl in West LA about the offensive line not looking ready for the opener for the third year in a row. Coach also brought up an interesting play where backup quarterback Matt Fink came into the game in the red zone for one play and took a three yard loss. Curtis in Moreno Valley called in about this play, saying that USC needs more room to run and pass when an athletic quarterback comes in because the defense sits on the read option play, looking for the QB to run. Tight ends and their lack of production was a discussed topic on the show and the coach thinks they are only used as blockers and they don’t really even block all that well. He thinks they need to be utilized more in the offense and we had a couple of questions from listeners that expressed the same concerns. Coach feels tight ends can be a great mismatch but you have to get them involved in the passing game to exploit it. Going 5-for-5 on field goals is great for the kicker, but not for the offense. USC really had a chance to set the tone early after a fumble recovery by Porter Gustin. But the drive stalled and the Trojans had to settle for a field goal. Tarik wrote in and wanted to know if Daniels can audible at the line of scrimmage. Coach Hyde thinks he should be able to, that is part of football to get out of bad plays. He said sometimes they would only call a formation and then have several plays ready to go just depending on what the defense would show. Matt in Woodland wanted to know if it is was some sort of record that USC had 26 players make tackles, from Cameron Smith and Isaiah Pola-Mao leading the way with 7 to several players who finished the night with one. We doubt it is a record, but there were a lot of guys getting in the game and a lot of them made plays. Coach also goes off during another question about special teams. It doesn’t look like things got any better from last year and that should be a concern going forward. John from Beaverton called in asking about the offensive line play and what sort of impact having a true freshman center had on the team. Coach Hyde thought Brett Neilon played very well, starting plays well and getting Daniels in a good position to run the play. Keith in NJ wants to know if coach is concerned if Daniels focuses too much on Amon-Ra St. Brown? Coach Hyde said the team shouldn’t worry about who catches what, just go out and win the game. Everyone has to do their part. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
When the USC football team took the field this week for its "mock game week," they may have going through the schedule for a fake game, but the competition was for real. The Trojans put together two of their most fiery practices in back-to-back days leading to great battles throughout the duo of days at Howard Jones Field. Some even took place after the whistle as players got in a number of tussles and dustups amongst each other. Keely Eure and Shotgun Spratling are back in the studio with a new episode of the Family Feud Podcast to discuss the intense week of action. They look at where the Trojans stand with only a closed mock game that Clay Helton said will feature about 40 plays on Saturday and two more competitive practices next week before USC opens the season against the UNLV Rebels next Saturday at 1 p.m. PST on the Pac-12 Networks. In this week's Stock Up/Stock Down segment, the notorious feudsters actually agree on one portion! (We were surprised too.) They look at the safety spot opposite Marvell Tell III and discuss where that position battle between Bubba Bolden, Isaiah Pola-Mao and Ykili Ross seems to be trending. And what affect Ross missing out on some potential snaps during Wednesday's practice could have on that competition. Keely and Shotgun also look into the quarterback competition and see where the needle has moved between JT Daniels, Jack Sears and Matt Fink. And what type of movement could there be depending on who wins the job? In their Agree/Disagree segment, Shotgun surprises Keely with a question on the spot leading to flustered frustration as she debates back and forth how USC's depth chart will look when it is unveiled. This episode of the Family Feud Podcast concludes with the questions that you emailed us (familyfeudpod@gmail.com), including debating the impact of John Baxter being the full-time special teams coordinator and whether or not his units will play any better this season after a rough 2017 that included USC having its fewest number of punt returns per game in school history. Did the poor special teams play last year also hold USC back from blowing out some opponents? They also dive into the Family Feud mailbag and answer your questions!
