It's a full rundown of both the AFC & NFC!Next up the boys talk NFL MVP Award in what is a wide-open race to this point, with several legitimate candidates all having a case with their superb play through the first half of the season. From surprises like the Colts Daniel Jones, the Patriots Drake Maye, and old-man Rodgers leading the Steelers to first in the AFC North, to the regulars like Josh Allen & Patrick Mahomes - what a race! And dare we say, could a RB actually rise above them all to win it? Then its that time - NBA PREVIEW time! That's right the boys talk 2025-26 NBA season including the Sixers & Bulls off to surprising starts in what looks like a wide-open Eastern Conference. Plus the Western Conference looks stacked once again with last year's defending Champs, OKC Thunder looking like they are on a mission to start the season (7-0). Wemby for MVP? The Spurs legit? Problems already in Memphis - Trae Young sidelined a month, plus Mikee's Lakers (5-2) & Chris's Bucks (5-2) are both off to solid starts, respectively.

In this episode of The Rumors Are True, host Jeremy Alan Gould welcomes Mikee Bridges — musician, promoter, and creator of TomFest — to talk about his latest project, TomCon: The Other Music Convention. Mikee shares the inspiration behind this brand-new event happening October 24–25, 2025, at the Crowne Plaza in Costa Mesa, California, and how it aims to bring fans and artists together in a whole new way.Listeners will hear Mikee reflect on his journey through bands like how decades of experience in the Christian alternative and punk scenes have shaped his vision for TomCon. Unlike a traditional music festival, TomCon is designed as a fan convention — complete with panels, Q&A sessions, artist meet-and-greets, photo ops, and live performances — celebrating the stories and community behind the music.Throughout the conversation, Mikee talks about the heart behind the event, what attendees can expect from the two-day lineup of over 50 artists and 12 panel discussions, and why Costa Mesa is the perfect home for this gathering of fans, musicians, and scene veterans. Whether you were part of the underground music movement of the '90s or are discovering it for the first time, this episode dives deep into what makes TomCon a truly one-of-a-kind experience.For full details, artist announcements, and tickets, visit tomconvention.com.Produced by Wesley Hill @thebigwesArtwork by Jared Chase Bowser @jaredchasebowserMusic By Brian Jerin R.I.P.
