Podcasts about Mohegan Sun

Shawna and LaLa have A LOT to catch up on this week! The girls recap their weekend in Connecticut seeing Mya live at Mohegan Sun and talk about what an amazing show she put on. LaLa stayed at Foxwoods Resort Casino and finally got to try Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen, while Shawna came home completely exhausted and seriously lacking sleep.  And the craziness didn't stop there… After waiting FOUR MONTHS for her MRI appointment, Shawna finally had the big day arrive... Only to find out the MRI machine BROKE that morning!  She shares what happened, how the day turned into a much longer ordeal than expected, and how she didn't finally make it home until 9 PM.  Plus, LaLa talks about Nex Playground and why it has become such a great activity for the kids. Instead of sitting in front of another screen, they're jumping, moving, exercising and using their imaginations while they play. It's perfect for rainy summer days, cold and snowy winter days, or anytime the kids need to burn off some energy indoors.Hosted by Shawna and LaLa, Life Beyond The Mic brings real conversations that go beyond the mic, lights, cameras, and stage.  Follow the show so you never miss an episode, and if this resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.  We feature real conversations, product experiences, and brands we genuinely love.  For interviews, product features, and media opportunities, visit www.shawnaandlala.com.

Listen without ads and buy DOPEYCON TICKETS ONLY ON SALE ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on Dopey! On a sprawling new episode of Dopey, Dave celebrates recovery, remembers members of the Dopey Nation who have died, and welcomes Good Baklava founder Roy Donk for an unbelievably chaotic conversation about drugs, Phish, entrepreneurship and sobriety. The episode begins with Australian Dope Maddie B celebrating one year without alcohol after years of severe alcoholism, seizures, psychosis and repeated attempts to stop. Her message about continuing to try leads into a remembrance of Annie Ellie on the anniversary of her death. Dave plays Annie's old recording about discovering Dopey while she was still using and how Dave, Chris and the Dopey Nation helped make recovery feel possible. Dave also explains Dopey Day, the annual social-media tribute honoring Chris, Todd, Annie, Brian and the other dopes the community has lost. Taylor checks in with a darkly funny voicemail about why Dopey's willingness to laugh at addiction, death and other painful subjects still matters. Dave then reads responses to the Christmas episode with Chris O'Connor's former partner Annie, including messages about grief, relapse, lost loved ones and the idea that grief never disappears—we gradually build a larger life around it. Minnesota Matt contributes the episode's first major drug story: after spending days smoking crack alone, he wakes up naked, bloodied and bruised beside a broken guitar and realizes he overdosed while playing along with the Allman Brothers. A tape recorder captured the collapse, but after listening to the evidence, he loads another crack pipe and continues smoking. California Miles then sends an update about the end of his 38-year marriage and his attempt to replace self-pity with acceptance and the Serenity Prayer. The featured guest is Roy Donk, founder of Good Baklava and the Knicks fan who became a viral presence outside Madison Square Garden. Roy recounts growing up Orthodox Jewish in New Jersey, smoking K2, stealing cologne, dropping out of high school, working bizarre Hasidic jobs and eventually discovering Phish and psychedelics. His story escalates through cocaine dealing, life in a San Diego drug house, a dog accidentally eating acid, selling drugs on Phish tour and getting arrested at Mohegan Sun after doing ketamine at the slot machines while dressed in a Phish robe. Court-ordered rehab initially fails to convince Roy that he is an addict, and he quickly returns to nitrous, cocaine, ketamine and touring. During the pandemic, he moves to Mexico and maintains a remote marketing career while using heavily. A Tulum work trip becomes a massive binge, culminating in Roy accidentally uploading uncensored photographs of the debauchery to his employer's shared drive. After losing the job, Roy walks into an English-speaking AA meeting in Mexico and begins working with a sponsor. He eventually admits that he cannot control his drug use, returns to Phish tour sober and discovers that recovery doesn't require surrendering the music or community he loves. When he needs a legal way to make money on tour, he buys three containers of grocery-store baklava and sells them at a show. That spontaneous hustle eventually becomes Good Baklava, importing unbaked baklava from Turkey and building a growing business from New Jersey. All that and more, more, more, more on a sweet phishy new dopey episode of that good old dopey show.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Can your gut predict your health? This week on Shawna and LaLa: Life Beyond The Mic, we're joined by Janelle and Grant from Viome for an eye-opening conversation about gut health, the microbiome, personalized nutrition, inflammation, digestion, food sensitivity, and the future of precision wellness.  Could the bacteria living in your gut influence how you feel every day? How does microbiome testing work? Can personalized recommendations help improve your overall health? We dive into the science behind Viome, how their testing works, and why more people are turning to personalized health insights instead of one-size-fits-all wellness advice.Before the interview, we're catching up on everything happening this week!

Jerry has audio from a show Gio referenced from 2018 while on location where Gio went out drinking with friends the night before and wasn't feeling well. The Mets beat the Braves as Lindor homered twice. We also heard from Andy Reid on the shooting of Eric Bieniemy's wife.

We kick off with Weill Cornell Medicine paying out $1 billion to victims of Darius Paduch, before turning to Jamal Adams joining the Vikings and exploring who will back up Geno Smith for the Jets. We also touch on Rob Saleh coaching the Titans with Brian Daboll as offensive coordinator, followed by news that Eric Bieniemy's wife was shot by their son. Jerry returns with classic 2018 audio of a hungover Gio on location, before covering the Mets' win over the Braves behind two Francisco Lindor homers and Andy Reid's reaction to the Bieniemy shooting. Finally, Chris Simms details Kyle Shanahan's scary car accident that almost cost him an eye, prompting a call from "one-eyed Scott" in Texas.

In Dumb Ass News, a whole street fight between two strangers turned out to be a big mistake. Chaz and AJ had hilarious audio of the argument, the punch and the apology. (0:00) Clearly, there needs to be an establishment of basic concert ettiquette. Chaz and AJ asked the Tribe to call in their suggestions, after Noah Kahan fans have repeatedly seen people urinating (or worse) in their seats instead of going to the bathroom. (4:27) Joe Soper from Mohegan Sun was on the phone with Chaz and AJ to talk about the lineup for their 30th anniversary, from Foo Fighters and Alanis Morrissette, to Metallica and Rush. Plus, Kevin Gagliard was in studio from Pepe's Pizzeria to talk about next weekend's CT Pizza and Brewfest. (22:31)Anyone else miss water beds? Chaz and AJ welcomed Commander Keith in studio for his list of the Top 5 things he's hoping make a comeback. (31:04)

Before sitting down with Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and actress Mya, Shawna and LaLa catch up on life. They celebrate Giulina's acceptance into a nature-based school (despite her dislike of getting dirty!) and discuss parenting in the digital age, including kids, Snapchat, social media, screen time, and why outdoor play matters more than ever.  Then, they're taking it back to the 2000s with Mya! The R&B icon opens up about her new album, Retrospect, staying true to herself throughout her decades-long career, overcoming challenges behind the scenes, and adapting from the MTV and CD era to today's streaming and social media landscape.  Mya also shares how she maintains her mental and physical well-being while balancing recording and touring, offers advice for aspiring artists, gives a behind-the-scenes look at creating a live concert, and previews what fans can expect from her Mohegan Sun performance.  If you grew up listening to Mya or love nostalgic 2000s music, this inspiring conversation is one you won't want to miss.Hosted by Shawna and LaLa, Life Beyond The Mic brings real conversations that go beyond the mic, lights, cameras, and stage.  Follow the show so you never miss an episode, and if this resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.  We feature real conversations, product experiences, and brands we genuinely love.  For interviews, product features, and media opportunities, visit www.shawnaandlala.com.

Chaz and AJ explored in Dumb Ass News, the insane reason a person was stuck inside a porta potty. A Tribe member called in at the end of the story, to confidently call this person the King of all the dumbasses to ever be featured in the segment. (0:00) A woman was injured on a cruise, after a rope swing caught her right between the legs. As it turns out, Ruth had a similar kind of injury on vacation. (7:01) Anthony Michael Hall was asked how to stay relevant in Hollywood, and Chaz and AJ don't believe he's the person to ask, considering his answer is easily disproved by his past behavior. (14:37) The Tribe called in to share their encounters with A-Hole celebrities, and Criss Angel was mentioned multiple times. (20:00) The worst person to ever step foot on a cruise has been found. "Foot fungus lady" is all over the internet, with exactly zero folks defending her or supporting her. (33:38) Mitchell Etess, the former CEO of Mohegan Sun, was on the phone with Chaz and AJ this morning to talk about the documentary being made about his family-run hotel, Grossinger's. (49:09)

Shawna headed to Mohegan Sun for an overnight trip to see 3 Days Grace, rushing from one thing to the next—only to spend most of the night waiting on lines. The next day? More of the same. She rushed home to prep for her colonoscopy, arrived on time for her 1:15pm appointment… and didn't get called back until 4:30. But that wasn't even the craziest part. During the procedure… Shawna woke up. Instead of panicking, she found herself watching it happen in real time—and actually thought it was fascinating. Meanwhile, LaLa absolutely cannot stop laughing over the entire situation. As if that wasn't enough chaos, Gio joins track and somehow ends up on a two-hour bus ride home… despite living just five minutes from school.

BEYOND PURPLE performs a showcase of the biggest hits from Deep Purple and Whitesnake, as well as Rainbow and Dio; all born out of the Deep Purple family tree. The band faithfully re-creates the vivid experience of live, high-energy music from what many consider to be Rock's greatest era. ​Beyond Purple consists of elite musicians with national ties, including guitarist Jimi Bell (Autograph, House of Lords); his amazing skills and prowess on guitar are truly world class. Mike Gill (Livesay, Johnny A.) is the lead voice of the band, with powerful soaring vocals in the style of Ian Gillan, David Coverdale, Graham Bonnet, Joe Lynn Turner, and Ronnie James Dio. His energetic stage presence brings every song to life. Drummer BJ Zampa (Dokken, House of Lords) pounds out thunderous beats with a huge groove that locks in the band on every note; he also contributes harmony vocals. Bassist Brian Camilleri rounds out the rhythm section, laying down the low-end thunder and locking in with BJ, to create a solid musical foundation. Welcome Gary Fox Jr. on keyboards and backing vocals, a long standing member of legendary Led Zeppelin tribute “Physical Graffiti”. His talent is beyond amazing.    Their high energy show fully engages the crowd, with accurate song renditions that capture the raw energy and power that has made this style of music one of the most popular of all time.For info:https://www.beyondpurpleband.com/:

Send us a textHi everybody and welcome to today's episode of Attendance Bias. I am your host, Brian Weinstein. Before we get started today, I want to remind you that you can support Attendance Bias in several ways: you can visit www.buymeacoffee.com/attendancebias and donate anything you can afford to keep the podcast going, you can leave a rating and a review of the show wherever you get your podcasts, and you can follow attendance bias on social media. Now, on with today's show:I received a message on Instagram a few weeks ago from today's guest, Patrick Quinn. It was a thoughtful and complimentary fan message, telling me how he enjoys Attendance Bias and how our histories as Phish fans seemed to intersect in a number of ways. I love receiving fan mail, and so I clicked on this person's profile to see who he was, beyond his profile picture.What I found was an artist who works in one of the most interesting mediums: Pat is a metal forger who helps run and teach newcomers how to forge and shape metal. I was immediately intrigued–when I think of forging metal and blacksmiths, I picture what is probably the most generic image: a medieval peasant, covered in cloaks with soot all over his face, hammering at a piece of metal over an anvil, with sparks flying everywhere. While some things never change, Pat's organization: The Center for Metal Arts in Johnstown, Pennsylvania is bringing something old to the new millennium. He and his colleagues host workshops where people come to learn ancient arts that result in beautiful, heirloom-quality tools. It has to be seen to believed, and there is a link to the CMA in today's show notes.Then, of course, there is Pat's selection for today's episode. Pat chose to talk about Phish's performance of “Most Events Aren't Planned,” which closed set 1 of July 24, 2024 at the Mohegan Sun Arena. The Vida Blue original is typical for a Page McConnell song–it's mid-tempo, contains thoughtful lyrics about change and loss, and has a few time changes that whip both the band and the crowd into a frenzy. This version at Mohegan Sun is a stellar performance.So I didn't know what to expect diving into today's conversation, and finished it excited and satisfied. Let's join Pat to talk about Hartford, metal work, and sandwich cookies, as we revisit “Most Events Aren't Planned” from 7/24/24 at Mohegan Sun. Support the show

Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk college basketball for this weekend. Griffin Warner and Big East Ben recap the week in college hoops, open with Marquette concerns after losing to Dayton, and assess the Big East as potentially a two-bid league with Providence, Creighton, and others underperforming. Ben vents about bad gambling variance but re-energizes after exciting mid-major games like Troy vs USC in triple OT. They analyze upcoming Saturday matchups: Northern Iowa vs UC Irvine, noting UNI's continuity and shooting versus Irvine's elite three-point prevention; they both lean Irvine at home. Providence vs Penn State at Mohegan Sun prompts skepticism toward Kim English's Friars and support for Penn State as an underdog. For Northwestern vs Butler, they praise Butler's revamped roster, Finley Bizjack's emergence, and new cohesion compared to last year's stagnant offense, while raising concerns about Northwestern's rebounding after losing to Virginia in a high-tempo surprise. They expect a lower-scoring style and discuss potential totals angles. They also examine South Carolina's inconsistency and roster size issues entering a projected underdog spot. Throughout, they mix betting insights, roster breakdowns, coaching notes, and behavioral tendencies, finishing with promo details and best bets: Ben taking Marquette -21 vs Central Michigan and Griffin taking UC Irvine pick'em.

Billy and Kevin are joined by Ted Bancroft following an overtime heartbreaker at Mohegan Sun. They break down the first week of the season, take a look ahead, and remember Friar great Lenny Wilkens.

The Friars opened their season with an 89-79 win over Holy Cross, powered by the dazzling freshman duo of Stefan Vaaks and Jamier Jones. We break down what we learned from Game 1 - the new identity taking shape under Kim English, the encouraging depth, and the defensive lapses that nearly let the Crusaders back in. Then we look ahead to Saturday's matchup against Virginia Tech at Mohegan Sun and what Providence needs to do to stay unbeaten.IG: @talkinfriarsFriar Beat blog: https://friar-beat.ghost.io/Go Friars!
