We're joined by Pennsylvania's own ARTHUR RIZK! Longtime friend of the show and expert producer/engineer of all things extreme.Before discussing his work with bands like Blood Incantation, Power Trip, the Cavaleras, Cro-Mags, Kreator (and so many more)... We discuss Arthur's background as the once reluctant guitar player of legendary PA Hardcore band WAR HUNGRY, which lead to him finding his footing in the hardcore community in the early oughts as a young metalhead. These days Arthur is juggling his time as a musician between COLD WORLD, ETERNAL CHAMPION and SUMERLANDS when he's not manning the board for metal's biggest bands.We're also joined once again by guest co-host and another modern great in extreme music engineering, our very own Taylor Young. This is a fascinating deep dive into the world of hardcore, metal & punk production with two of the greatest minds currently doing it.

Welcome to The Real Oshow,0:00 Intro0:52 Breaking Down 3:24 Rod Wave's Touring Company 7:00 Rod Wave's Sports Agency 13:20 College Patches On Jerseys20:00 Druski is this generation's Dave Chappelle23:00 Closing Thoughts This week on The Real Oshow, Joshua and Zachary break down why Rod Wave's new 24-track project Don't Look Down and its projected 116,000 first-week sales might only be a small piece of the empire he's building. From launching a sports agency to building Mainstay Touring and helping put together Kanye West's record-breaking SoFi Stadium show, Rod Wave is making a case that his biggest moves could eventually happen outside of music.We also dive into the multi-million-dollar jersey patch deals taking over college football, including Ohio State's $20 million-a-year JPMorgan Chase deal, Tennessee's $12 million-a-year First Horizon partnership, and Monster Energy's conference-wide Big 12 deal. With F1 cars and European hockey jerseys already covered in sponsors, is college football heading toward the same future as schools search for every possible financial advantage?And to wrap it up, we debate one of our hottest takes yet: Druski is this generation's Dave Chappelle.
Daniel Sandoval has spent two decades near the top of action sports, and this year he helped deliver one of the wildest finishes in X Games League history, riding through injuries doctors told him to sit out and sealing his team's championship in the final minutes. In this conversation he talks about growing up in Corona, California, discovering BMX at ten years old, and building a career that took him from amateur contests to sponsorships with Red Bull and now Monster Energy. He opens up about losing his father as a teenager and finding a photo after his death that revealed his dad had once ridden bikes himself, a moment that changed how he thinks about his own path in the sport. In this conversation with Kavitha Davidson he talks about fatherhood, the physical toll of two decades of competition, and what it means to be one of BMX's veterans as a new generation of riders comes up behind him. Daniel reflects on the mental side of competing through pain, the shift from individual competition to a team format this year, and where he sees the sport heading as it competes for attention with the Olympics and social media. It's a candid look at what keeps an athlete going long after the easy years are behind him. Host: Kavitha A.

Everyone is talking about Harrison Butker's 69 yard field goal Saturday in Tampa but remember, it's the pre-season. Sure, it looks like real football, sometimes, but it's not. Not even the kicks. Last year a Jags kicker hit a 70 yarder. But you won't even see teams try this in the regular season when the NFL watches over all the kicking balls like a hawk. The Royals are just unstoppable right now as they win their 8th game in a row. What could have been this year if the Royals just had 1 or 2 pitchers in the bullpen. Monster Energy drink is the new sponsor of the Big 12 Conference and it's already controversial. And Monster loves it. A new report suggest Tony Romo could be on his way out at CBS Sports after getting a DUI. A high ranking member of Iran's Parliament has spoken publicly that Iranians could be starving soon and that will not be sustainable for the regime. More news on the economic D-Day are set top be revealed Monday. A hospital in Nashville mixes up drugs and botches multiple surgeries. The Negro Leagues Museum in KC has seen a big bump in traffic for one specific reason. A new covid shot study of over 8 million people has bad, bad news for what they did to us. A teachers union president asks for people to NOT shop at Target... so I think I will go get some stuff. And our Final Final is a football player that got dissed by Tom Hanks at Travis and Taylor's wedding.

For the very first time on HardLore, the interviewer becomes the interviewee… Myself, Brody King and Taylor Young of GOD'S HATE sit down with Anna Zanes, who up until just days ago was the editor in chief of Alternative Press, to deep dive into the development and intention of our brand new 12” EP, WON'T BE DISGRACED.In our own words… Won't Be Disgraced is a dense, urgent collection of 3 songs driven by grief and the state of the greater hardcore community and beyond.Your mind can be your most powerful tool or a weapon used against you in your darkest moments, and the only guaranteed way to fail yourself and your loved ones is to quit.As the world continues to be destroyed from within by greed, religious extremism, and 24 hour news cycles of division and violations of human rights… It has never been more apparent that all we have is each other.

What makes a brand worth betting on? Ken Sadowsky, affectionately known as "The Beverage Whisperer," returns to Taste Radio with a sharp look at where the biggest opportunities — and potential pitfalls — are emerging across the beverage category. A senior advisor at Verlinvest, board director at Vita Coco and Icelandic Glacial, and early-stage investor in several emerging beverage brands, Ken explains why coconut water still has plenty of runway, what founders can learn from playing the long game, and why he believes colostrum could represent the next big functional beverage opportunity. Ken also shares his perspective on the rise of caffeine-free energy, hydration, matcha, protein and functional beverages. He also offers candid takes on celebrity-backed brands, flavor versus function, packaging, category positioning and the question he asks when evaluating any new beverage. Show notes: 0:20: Ken Sadowsky, Sr. Advisor, Verlinvest – Ken kicks things off by praising his beloved Red Sox before sharing his perspective on why coconut water has quietly become one of beverage's fastest-growing categories. He explains how strategic decisions by major beverage companies can temporarily shape retailer perceptions of an entire category, and why occasion- and benefit-based shopping may increasingly blur traditional category lines, particularly in smaller-format stores. Ken also discusses several emerging brands in his investment portfolio, including Rite, a caffeine-free energy drink powered by ketones and paraxanthine, and Leisure Hydration, which he sees as a function-first product with a more relaxed approach to hydration. He and Ray also evaluate products from Stillers, Yass, Gimber, Fizzin Protein and Grind. At the heart of Ken's philosophy is a simple question: Why will a consumer buy the product again? While functional benefits can drive trial, he argues that taste remains critical to repeat purchase in most categories. For founders, he emphasizes the importance of spending time in stores, studying the competitive set and allowing consumers to determine where a product belongs rather than relying too heavily on conventional category definitions. Ken also weighs in on celebrity-backed brands, arguing that celebrity involvement can drive discovery but is far more powerful when the celebrity genuinely invests in and believes in the business. He reflects on the extraordinary velocity of beverages compared with other CPG categories and explains why he often asks if a brand has the potential to sell a billion cans. Brands in this episode: Vita Coco, Harmless Harvest, Zico, Gatorade, Red Bull, Monster Energy, Celsius, Rite Energy, Parch, Subourbon Life, Ponyboy Slings, MOTH Cocktails, Spikedade, Super Lyte, Yass, Orange Toucan, Leisure Hydration, Spindrift, Coca-Cola, Neau Water, Eatyx, Oshee, Stiller's, Gimber, Vitaminwater, Pirate's Booty, AriZona Beverages, Ancient Nutrition, Fair Life, Fizzen Protein, Protein Pop, Grind, Onyx Coffee, Donpon Energy

HardLore is joined by Ryan George & Todd Jones of CARRY ON for a thorough deep dive into the complete history of the band, following their long awaited return this past June at Tied Down fest, and on the eve of their hometown return at Sound & Fury festival.From beginning as a metallic band called Persevere in Atascadero, California, to changing their name (and their many lineups), recruiting Todd, Corey Williams and Nick Jett in the band, finding their musical identity on their Roll With The Punches 7", refining it on their one and only album A Life Less Plagued, and Ryan infamously deciding to stop being straight edge, quickly ending the band... This is a fascinating window into a band Bo and I grew up listening to and loving for 20+ years, and it was honor to be in the room as these two shared so much about such a beloved band.

The boys are back, which this includes our esteemed co-host emeritus Dustin joining for what is now one of our favorite all-time offseason episodes where the full trio of co-hosts each drafted an 8-man rotation of the best of the best Kevin Sampson era Houston Cougar men's basketball players. PLUS, bonus Big 12 football media day talk with plenty of Monster Energy, tor*stutters*tuh-tiyas, and interesting Willie Fritz comments.
In this episode, we begin our three-part Big 12 preview by taking a conference-wide look at the contenders, challengers and mystery teams shaping the 2026 season. Texas Tech enters as the defending champion and the clear center of attention, but does the conference’s best roster still have enough at quarterback and on defense to remain on top? We also examine why BYU feels like the safest alternative and whether Houston is ready to turn last year’s breakthrough into something even bigger. From there, we sort all 16 teams into tiers and work through a crowded middle class that may be deeper than either of us expected. How much should Utah’s infrastructure matter after major changes on the sideline and along both lines of scrimmage? Can Arizona, TCU or Kansas State stay in the championship race? Are we falling too hard for Oklahoma State’s potential, and how much faith should we place in Kenny Dillingham as Arizona State faces the conference’s most difficult schedule? We also identify the players we are most interested in watching, debate several new quarterback situations and make our early Big 12 Championship Game predictions. Plus, the Monster Energy sponsorship inspires a shady monetization strategy, Willie Fritz becomes the world’s most dependable roofing contractor, and one verbal stumble launches a questionable new Cincinnati business venture.
