Indie music didn't start in a damp Manchester rehearsal room with a bunch of miserable lads wearing oversized raincoats. It was pinched straight from Motown. In this episode, Andrew Culture and Dr Sam trace the line connecting Detroit's assembly lines, Peckham bedrooms, and sweaty, talcum-powdered floors in Wigan to show how Northern Soul accidentally birthed British indie, Britpop, and baggy culture. We cover: The Peckham militant who ran a Motown fan club, bought records for Paul McCartney, and told Mick Jagger to jog off. Why Barry Gordy tried to destroy every copy of a song that later sold for £100,000. How The Smiths, The Charlatans, and Soft Cell basically owe their entire careers to American soul B-sides. 7:50AM end-of-night rituals and the birth of UK music tribalism.

Tanner Schut moved to New York with a decent cushion in his savings account, figuring he'd land a wedding band gig or two within a few weeks to keep the bills covered while he found his footing. That's not what happened. Those gigs take months to break into, not weeks, and nobody tells you that part until you're already living it. His savings drained a lot faster than he expected, and there was a real stretch where going back to the cruise ships looked like the only way to stay afloat.Tanner's on the Book of Mormon tour now. This clip is about the part before that, the part where the city doesn't care how good you are and rent still shows up every month whether the gigs do or not.Full conversation with Tanner coming soon to the Broadway Drumming 101 podcast. Clayton Craddock was most recently the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre. He is also the founder of Broadway Drumming 101 and the author of Broadway Bound and Beyond: A Musician's Guide to Building a Theater Career.His Broadway credits include Memphis, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, Ain't Too Proud, and Cats: The Jellicle Ball, with additional credits spanning tick, tick…BOOM!, The Hippest Trip: The Soul Train Musical, and subbing on Rent, Motown, Evita, Avenue Q, and the Hadestown tour.Clayton has appeared on The View, Good Morning America, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Today Show, and the Tony Awards. He has performed with artists ranging from Chuck Berry and Ben E. King to Kristin Chenoweth and Norm Lewis.www.claytoncraddock.com Get full access to Broadway Bound and Beyond at www.broadwayboundandbeyond.com/subscribe

Marvin Gaye was a legendary American soul singer, songwriter, and record producer who profoundly shaped the sound of R&B and popular music. Often called the "Prince of Motown" and the "Prince of Soul," he was a central figure at Motown Records during the 1960s and 1970s. He began his career as an in-house session drummer before transforming into a solo superstar. Gaye later became one of the first R&B artists to fight for and win full creative autonomy over his work, paving the way for future generations of Black musicians to control their own art. This is what I picked up surrounding his energies

Joel “Jay-Ray” Anderson is a drummer that was recently touring with The Wiz.I caught up with him mid-tour. We talked about growing up in a musical family in Fort Lauderdale, learning drums from YouTube and his oldest brother, coming up through the Dillard High School drumline, studying music at Broward College and Florida Memorial University, landing his first tour (Pretty Woman) the week after graduation, and transitioning to The Wiz through a network built one relationship at a time. We got into gospel drumming history, drumline battles, a month spent touring Japan, and why networking, not just chops, is what actually opens doors.Jay-Ray comes from a house full of musicians. His father plays guitar and sings; his oldest brother plays drums and keys; another brother sings, plays drums, and plays saxophone; and a third brother plays bass, guitar, and keys while producing. Jay-Ray's own introduction to the drums came at six years old, when his oldest brother sat him down in front of a kit for the first time. By twelve, he had his own Sonor drum set, a gift from that same brother, and was already teaching himself by copying drumming videos on YouTube.Jay-Ray attended Dillard Center for the Arts, where he played in two jazz bands, marched snare in the wind orchestra and drumline, and got pulled onto snare drum as a freshman after impressing section leader Javon with a string of paradiddles. He talks about the discipline instilled by band directors Christopher Dorsey and Dr. Sheldon McClain, learning traditional grip for the first time, and the intensity of real drumline battles.Jay-Ray studied at Broward College (Associate's in Music Performance) before transferring to Florida Memorial University for his bachelor's degree, where he played under percussion director Taurus Lovely, a 25-year Broadway touring veteran (including Tina Turner: The Musical) who would later become the person who got Jay-Ray his first tour. Jay-Ray's first trip to New York came in 2018, when Dillard's jazz band won the Essentially Ellington competition at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the same trip where he first saw a Broadway show, Ain't Too Proud.The day after Jay-Ray graduated from Florida Memorial in May 2023, Taurus Lovely called with an audition opportunity for the Pretty Woman national tour. Jay-Ray recorded four songs from the show, landed the gig, and was in rehearsals in Syracuse, New York within months. He talks candidly about the learning curve of running click tracks and Ableton on the road, getting walked through the system by original drummer Kevin Maynard, and the parts of touring nobody warns you about, like setting up and breaking down your own kit on travel days. Over roughly two years with the show, he toured extensively across the U.S. and spent a month performing in Japan (Shinjuku, Tachikawa, Kyoto, and Osaka).Jay-Ray's move to The Wiz came through his network: Sammy Merandino and Quentin “Q” Robinson recommended him, and MD Michael Aarons brought him in. Jay-Ray left Pretty Woman in Wichita and, within a week, was in New York starting rehearsals, spending his off-hours studying original drummer Trevor Holder's book and comparing the Broadway cast recording to the touring arrangement. He also shares how he first met Q Robinson years earlier, showing up at Hamilton's closing show in Fort Lauderdale just to introduce himself.Asked what he'd tell a high school or college drummer chasing a career like his, Jay-Ray's answer is simple: networking. Every opportunity in his career, from Pretty Woman to The Wiz to this very podcast episode, traces back to a relationship someone else made on his behalf.Where to Find Jay-Ray* Instagram & TikTok: @jay.ray04* Facebook: Joel Anderson* Email: joel.r.anderson04@gmail.comResources * Free: How to Land a Broadway Gig Roadmap — subscribe to Broadway Drumming 101 (free or paid) and grab it at broadwayboundbook.com/roadmap* The Broadway Sub Playbook ($7.99) — available at signaturebrandworks.com* Broadway Drumming 101 merch (backpacks, tees, hats, mugs, and more) — signaturebrandworks.com* Broadway Bound and Beyond: A Musician's Guide to Building a Theater Career by Clayton Craddock — out nowClayton Craddock was most recently the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre.

We're hanging out with Canadian country artist Kelsi Mayne, who joined us during the Calgary Stampede for a conversation that was every bit as entertaining as you'd expect. Kelsi has carved out her own lane in country music, blending country roots with Motown soul, hip-hop and a little rock attitude. A Windsor, Ontario native who spent nearly a decade writing in Nashville, she's become one of Canada's most exciting independent artists, with millions of streams, multiple CMAOntario nominations, a 2024 International Songwriting Competition win, and appearances at some of the biggest country festivals in the country. And this wasn't just a sit-down interview, Kelsi brought the music with her. She even grabbed a guitar and sang a few songs for us right there in the studio.

被称为"狂人迈克"的美国Techno艺术家Mad Mike，本名Michael Anthony Banks生于1961年。堪称UR 三人中最具争议性、作风最凌厉也最全情投入的公认领袖。我们无意削弱Mills和Hood的功劳，但Banks才是Underground Resistance的核心人物。身为新派底特律Techno的中坚力量，“疯子”Mike Banks 是这座汽车之城中不可磨灭的力量，自始至终领导着UR的组织。在他刚 起步时，Mike从事过各种工作，包括建筑与机械相关的工作，也曾做过驱逐租客的工作。由于他直言不讳的态度，他的作品常常包含政治元素与直接的信息。Banks也因其严格的道德标准而闻名，他拒绝在公众场合被拍照，经常遮住脸部或模糊自己出现在照片中的样子。UR的核心原则是强调音乐本身而非艺术家，因此Mike在曾经很长的一段时间里都不向媒体公开自己的面容。“与音乐相比，我微不足道。我的脸会怎么可能比音乐更重要呢？” —— Mike Banks他的音乐创作深受Marshal Jefferson、Derrick May、Gary Numan、Juan Atkins和Kraftwerk的影响，同时他也始终推崇Stanley Clarke、Chick Corea与Joe Zawinul的音乐成就。在涉足电子乐之前，Banks曾是专业录音室乐手，并在一支名为Cherubim的乐队中演奏。该乐队曾长期随Parliament Funkadelic巡演，使Banks多次获得同台即兴演出的机会。他还与George Clinton、Michael Payne、Amp Fiddler等音乐人频繁合作，其中多以吉他手身份参与。"那时我开始参与一些重要唱片录制，这感觉很棒。我在食堂日常闲聊时结识了音乐导师George Clinton，他亲自指导我如何在混音中通过空间定位来区分低音鼓和底鼓..."Banks回忆道。Mike还曾是Members Of The House项目的成员，八十年代中期与该团队共同创作了一系列12英寸黑胶唱片。尽管与底特律众多传奇音乐人的合作令人振奋，但到八十年代末期，他渴望寻找更具突破性、更复杂的艺术环境来实现自我蜕变。在目睹音乐产业屡见不鲜的商业化弊端后，Banks与Mills毅然决定另辟蹊径，开创更纯粹的艺术创作之路。“我们当时的一个乐队和他们（Motown）签了约，天哪，那真是一场噩梦。我们那时是非常优秀的录音室乐手，在United Sounds录音室工作。而他们想让我们组一个叫‘For Girls Only'的乐队。那是流行商业音乐，我们一点也不喜欢。那时候Prince正火，他们要我们穿像Prince那样的衣服，打扮成Prince的样子，但我们完全不想那样。我们只是录音室乐手，不喜欢那一套。后来我们飞到纽约看了合同，发现根本不行。说实话，我们看到了太多音乐产业的黑暗面，以及它有多虚假。我们参与过无数唱片的录制，我都说不清有多少，但我从来没有在封面上得到署名，因为他们总是把那些‘好看的人'放在封面上。大多数主流音乐圈的事情，都是谎言。”——Mike Banks"我亲眼见过最肮脏的勾当。他们找来三位教堂唱诗班的黑人女歌手来录主唱的试唱版本，说：‘嘿，你能录个示范主唱吗？'然后那个女人就唱了主唱部分，拿个五十美元之类的。转头找个每天做500个仰卧起坐的辣妹进棚，让她模仿之前录好的唱段。要是唱不准，就直接用采样器修音高。结果真正的歌手只拿到50块，而封面女郎却成了专辑主角。我从这些行业人渣身上认识到整个系统都是欺诈——那女孩根本没唱歌，真正开口的人却被埋没。这种认知让我清醒，更让人失望。当时Jeff也对广播里的虚假内容感到幻灭，我们两个就像做着明星梦的孩子，也曾幻想周游世界巡演，但目睹这一切后，我终于认清这彻头彻尾的骗局。"正是此时，他结识了Mills，两人开始合作创作《Share This House》，这首作品后来被收录于使底特律techno名扬海外的传奇合辑《Techno! (The New Dance Sound of Detroit)》中。随着那个成功十年的落幕，这对搭档开创了属于自己的运动——传奇的Underground Resistance。"我和Jeff创建Underground Resistance的初衷，是为了描绘一幅不同的图景——一幅关于梦想、希望与未来主义的画卷。"——Mike BanksBanks与他的伙伴Jeff Mills和Robert Hood共同奠定了UR早期作品的基调。当一切准备就绪后，他们展开了欧洲巡演：最初在伦敦的演出正值当地媒体影响力鼎盛时期，这种氛围让他们并不自在；而柏林则被证明是传播"UR病毒"的理想沃土。" UR来到柏林后的经历，后来成为了柏林这座城市自我构建的框架——这种范式可供任何追求独立创作的人们借鉴，让他们用来建立自己的音乐场景。"——Cornelius Harris在共同创作三年后，三人组中的另外两位成员离开了厂牌，将完整控制权移交给了Mad Mike。同年（1992年），Banks还与Christa Robinson在底特律共同创立了Submerge Distribution唱片发行公司。"请相信，我通过现场演出和唱片销售获得的每一分钱，都花在了维持这栋大楼运营的账单中。"——Mike Banks Banks 为 90 年代底特律 Techno 的复兴作出了重要贡献，他以一种自早期 Hip-Hop 之后少见的方式，重新凝聚了美国城市舞曲音乐。他的音乐风格逐渐吸收了 Acid 与 Industrial 的元素，节奏更强劲、更富推动力。随着时间的推移，他的音乐变得更加切分、且多层次，其中一些作品让人联想到 Cybotron 早期的 Electro 的曲子。虽然多张标志性发行都与他有关，如 《Death Star》、《Happy Trax》、《Windchime》、《The Final Frontier》、《The Illuminator》 以及 《Attack Of The Sonic Samurai》，但在 UR 的最初三位创始人中，Banks 是作曲数量最少的一位。原因在于，他必须更多地专注于组织的整体方向与对社区的支持。从那时起直到今天，他最重要的目标始终是启发与扶持年轻人，而非追求成为世界知名的 DJ。他一直相信那句看似陈旧却永远正确的信念：“未来属于年轻一代。”Banks 也将一生奉献于反抗商业化音乐，并致力于将高科技音乐与高科技梦想带入低科技的地区。“我的使命是延续 Mojo 的工作。Mojo 拯救了底特律。”——Mike Banks20世纪90年代，Underground Resistance扶持了许多崭露头角的底特律音乐人，为本土音乐人开辟了机遇，其中就包括Drexciya、DJ Rolando和Kenny Larkin。"我很自豪能将Drexciya介绍给世界"——Mike Banks鲜为人知的是，Banks还在底特律开始执教一支高中棒球队。他在那里遇到了许多有前途的年轻人，并竭尽全力让他们远离街头帮派的纷扰。这也为他从年轻一代中发掘人才提供了绝佳机会，向他们展示'UR之光'，其目的是让年轻人看到，借助音乐的力量，他们能走多远。"我向很多年轻人介绍这些东西，但大多时候，我会'失去'他们——他们去了欧洲、日本，去当了DJ，被预订演出的经纪人挖走。但这是值得的，因为他们由此开启了音乐生涯。"——Mike Banks到90年代末，UR和Banks经历了许多风雨。正如我之前提到的，底特律techno界对商业音乐产业的不屑一顾事实上是有道理的。最明显的例子之一就是，某个全球性的大唱片公司竟认为他们有权欺压、剥削独立厂牌（UR）来牟利。千禧年之交，UR与Sony Music爆发冲突，techno界一段最精彩的幕后故事就此上演：UR-049 EP《The Knights Of The Jaguar》由Underground Resistance于1999年3月发行，制作人是底特律本土音乐人The Aztec Mystic（即DJ Rolando）。这张专辑一经推出便迅速成为全球热门单曲，其连绵层叠的合成器音效和攀爬高峰式的弦乐，赋予了这首曲子令人起鸡皮疙瘩的感染力。Sony立刻嗅到了它的商业潜力，想要发行这首《Jaguar》，并提出签约买下版权。但Banks拒绝了，不允许他们获取授权。作为回应，Sony决定不经许可擅自发行，推出了一首由Don Jaguar制作的"混音翻版"——这简直是按照每个音符在抄袭，引发了全球地下techno社区的强烈愤慨。此时，UR呼吁乐迷"用电话、邮件和传真淹没Sony办公室"，被召回UR厂牌的核心成员重返战场，并迅速推出了《Revenge Of The Jaguar》— 其中收录了Jeff Mills、Mad Mike和Octave One的混音版本，甚至"The Innovator"Derrick May也以Mayday为化名，献上了他自己版本的《Jaguar》。在巨大的抗议声浪和严重后果面前，Sony不得不召回该曲。就这样，UR将Sony Music踢出局，赢得了胜利。而在2000年，在首届底特律电子音乐节上，《Jaguar》的旋律响彻全场。除了创作新音乐和扶持新兴艺术家，Banks更将Underground Resistance作为人道主义平台，通过音乐揭示社会问题。在发行UR-088 《Dangerous》时，他旨在唤起公众对密歇根州弗林特水危机等严峻问题的关注。"所有人都想为此做些什么，而我认为应该让国际社会更关注此事。最令人心痛的是，解决方案就印在唱片标签上——那个网站记载着一位为第三世界国家发明净水装置的发明家。当他带着设备前往联合国时，竟被告知'清洁水资源不在业务范围内'。这位试图消除全球三分之二水传播疾病的好人，最终败给了官僚体制，"Banks在2016年接受《Sparse Magazine》采访时说道。除了2024年与Mark Flash在伦敦、蒂尔堡和巴黎的现场演出外，Mike Banks最近一次在国际上亮相，是在传奇电子乐器制造公司Roland制作的迷你纪录片《Somewhere in Detroit》中。该片除了采访了Underground Resistance和Submerge的联合创始人"Mad" Mike Banks、还包括他的妹妹Bridgette Banks（她最初创办了流动唱片店"Somewhere in Detroit"）、Wajeed、DJ Crystal Mioner、Kamau Baaqi、Saylem Celeste以及其他音乐制作人。他的角色对全球地下场景产生了重大影响，自此，这个场景已截然不同。Banks是底特律历史上一个标志性人物，是众多音乐家的庇护者，也是反叛精神的传奇象征。毫无疑问，没有"Mad" Mike Banks的辛勤奉献，底特律techno和地下电子音乐绝不会是今天的样子。在我看来，Mike Banks是一位真正的人道主义"地下帮派领袖"——当然，这是最高尚的含义。"这很辛苦，但我很感激。知道现在还有人穿着那些疯狂的UR T恤，这感觉很好。"——Mike Banks

402 Avengers Doomsday New X-Men Lanterns Disney Villains LandDoom Scrolling IntroThe Foos are back after nearly a month away, and the backyard project is finally done — although Joe's arm is still messed up and Steph is recovering from a badly sprained ankle courtesy of Steph Kwon Do. They recap Anthony Jeselnik at the Ontario Improv and break down the 5 weirdos you always meet at a comedy club: the super fan, the punchline repeater, the wannabe opening act, the person terrified of crowd work, and the offended partner who suddenly turns date night into couples therapy.They also react to Motown legend Martha Reeves' viral national anthem performance and debate how much the lack of stage monitors, weather, backup vocals, and being 85 years old should factor into the criticism.Geeking Out starts with the new Avengers: Doomsday footage, including Doctor Doom facing off with the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men — plus a ridiculous moment involving Thor's Stormbreaker. The Foos get into Robert Downey Jr. as Doom, multiverse theories, and why Doom needs to be more than evil Tony Stark.Marvel also reveals its new X-Men lineup, with Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Indy Navarretti as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, and Adam Driver as Mr. Sinister. Joe and Steph agree that starting with Mr. Sinister instead of immediately going back to Magneto is the smarter move.Star Wars: Starfighter brings Ryan Gosling into a new corner of the galaxy, while DC's Lanterns goes full True Detective with Hal Jordan and John Stewart investigating an alien-connected murder. Then Disney gets sinister with a massive Villains Land featuring Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Ursula, Scar, Jafar, Hades, Cruella, and more.Steph also previews the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art and what comes with their membership before their upcoming visit.Here's What I Would Do brings two dilemmas: Andrea from La Habra takes an ancestry DNA test and accidentally discovers a 28-year-old half-sister her married father apparently never told the family about. Then Trevor from Escondido buys a storage unit and finds decades of family memories, military letters, photos, and a Purple Heart — forcing him to decide whether legally owning something means it's morally his to keep.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroBackyard finished + injuries5 Weirdos at a Comedy ClubAnthony Jeselnik recapMartha Reeves national anthemAvengers Doomsday trailer + Doctor DoomMarvel reveals the new X-MenAdam Driver as Mr. SinisterStar Wars Starfighter Ryan GoslingLanterns goes True DetectiveDisney Villains LandLucas Museum of Narrative ArtHere's What I Would Do Ancestry DNA surprise sisterHere's What I Would Do Storage unit Purple Heart dilemmaKing of the Hill Season 2Outro + Doom Scrolling OutroAvengers Doomsday, Doctor Doom, Robert Downey Jr, new X-Men MCU, Mr Sinister, Adam Driver, Star Wars Starfighter, Ryan Gosling, Lanterns DC, Green Lantern, Disney Villains Land, Lucas Museum, Anthony Jeselnik, comedy club etiquette, ancestry DNA surprise, storage unit auction, King of the Hill

Your kids grow up and move out, the house gets quieter, and suddenly the question is not “What's next for them?” It is “What fits me now?” I'm sharing a personal right-sized reflection sparked by a Motown costume party, an unexpectedly tender empty nest summer, and a big realisation: the space that opens up in midlife can either get filled with more obligations or it can become the place where you come back to yourself. We dig into the core right-sizing question I use for everything: does this still fit the season I'm actually in? I connect the dots between time management and energy management, including my simple daily energy audit: what energized me, what drained me, and what I did for my future self. We also talk about how midlife hormonal changes can shape sleep, stress, mood, and emotional load, and why that makes intentional self-care more important, not more selfish. You'll leave with a practical right-sizing check-in and three concrete journal prompts for the week, plus a challenge to stop putting joy on layaway. Fun is not a treat you earn after you finish the list. Joy is part of wellness, part of healing, and part of building a life that actually fits.

TVC 745.4: Ed welcomes Martha Reeves, the legendary Motown powerhouse who is also one of the most influential voices in American music. Searching, Martha's first new album in twenty-two years, is a blend of jazz, gospel, blues, R & B, and lived experience that was recorded in New Orleans, alongside acclaimed trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis, and co-produced by Marsalis and Martha's longtime manager, Chris Roe. Chris also appears with Martha during our call. Searching becomes available wherever you find music beginning Friday, Aug. 14. Topics this segment include how the making of Searching was very much a collaborative experience; how Martha's mother taught her never to sing a song unless she understood it and could feel it; meeting Stevie Wonder for the first time when he was eight years old, in Berry Gordy's office at Motown; why the release of Searching is an answered prayer; and why purple is Martha's go-to color.

Adam grew up in Northeast Ohio, where he attended Cleveland State University (2006). Formally studying classical percussion throughout his education, Adam also actively performed as a freelancer on drum set — his classical background combined with his drum set skills gave him a unique blend that turned out to be very well-suited for musical theater.After playing its out-of-town tryout at Houston's Alley Theatre, Adam had his Broadway debut as the drummer on Frank Wildhorn's WONDERLAND when it transferred to Broadway (Spring 2011). OBCR on Sony Masterworks.With his foot in the door from his first Broadway show, Adam set about the work of subbing and building a reputation in and around the city. Subbing on NYC productions as diverse as RENT, EVITA, MATILDA the Musical, AVENUE Q, CATS, HELLO DOLLY, ANASTASIA, THE PROM, WEST SIDE STORY, COME FROM AWAY, and LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS — and many more — Adam routinely demonstrates a wide-ranging versatility. A unique hybrid player, Adam is equally at home on drum set and percussion, excelling in situations that demand both contemporary drum set styles and legit classical/orchestral sensibilities.Adam's most recent NYC chairs include 2017's BANDSTAND on Broadway (TONY Nomination for Best Orchestrations, TONY WINNER for Best Choreography), Jerry Springer the Opera, and Between the Lines with acclaimed writers Samsel & Anderson — where Adam not only played drums and percussion but helped create the percussive mix elements. Adam is often found developing new works in NYC's rehearsal studios, working with established and new writing teams whenever possible. Most recently, Adam subbed on CATS: The Jellicle Ball.Adam has supported many of NYC's finest singers, including Caroline Bowman, Austin Colby, Jordan Dobson, Natalie Weiss, Justin Guarini, Sierra Boggess, Laura Osnes, Josh Young, Orfeh, Andy Karl, Patti LuPone, Jeremy Jordan, Ben Fankhauser, Brian Justin Crumm, Jenna Ushkowitz, Jay Armstrong Johnson, Kacey Velazquez, Loren Allred, Andy Mientus, and Crystal Monee Hall, among many others.When not in the theater, Adam is often found in NYC recording studios playing for singer/songwriters and composers like Desi Oakley, The Jack Mosbacher Band, Michael Mott, and David Mallamud — playing cabaret spots like Feinstein's 54 Below, performing at Lincoln Center, and downtown venues such as Rockwood Music Hall, Piano's, and The Bitter End.

It's mailbag Friday on the Shoot Around, and the guys open things up with a tribute nobody asked for — Motown legend Martha Reeves', uh, memorable national anthem ahead of the Women's Pro Baseball League's inaugural weekend. Rob Horry and Rob Jenners can't decide if it's sweet or a bad omen, and Brandon Harper is just trying to be respectful about it.   From there it's straight into the questions. First up: ranking LeBron, KD, and Steph heading into next season, which turns into a real debate about workload, teammates, and who's actually going to be asked to do the most. Then things get weird with Harrison Bader, whose scooter reportedly found the back of a San Francisco Fire Department truck at 1:50 in the morning — Rob Horry breaks down why he's never dealt with a teammate like that on a championship roster.   The mailbag also digs into a college eligibility loophole letting a former Pitt running back explore a return to school after getting cut by the Bills, with NIL money very much part of the conversation. And to close it out, the crew finally weighs in on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, including the Tom Holland vs. Tobey Maguire vs. Andrew Garfield debate that never really goes away.  

Some days the show practically writes itself... and today was one of those glorious train wrecks.We kick things off with the viral performance from Motown legend Martha Reeves and the internet's reaction to a music icon having an unexpectedly rough national anthem. The crew dives into why live performances can go sideways, shares stories from concerts gone wrong, and explains why sometimes it's not the singer—it's the gear.Then Moon tells the story of cleaning out his late father's shed with his son, which quickly turns into a surprisingly emotional conversation about family keepsakes, collecting way too much stuff, and why every dad apparently owns three sledgehammers, twelve mystery tools, and enough spare lumber to rebuild civilization. The gang swaps stories about grandparents, handwritten cards, sentimental treasures, and the impossible task of deciding what deserves to be kept.Of course, it wouldn't be a comedy podcast without the conversation immediately veering into flying lawnmowers, runaway highway cargo, giant pizza ovens crashing into overpasses, protein trends making baby formula more expensive, tanning bed myths making a comeback, and whether today's health advice changes every six months just to keep everyone confused.Then comes the scientific discovery nobody asked for—but everyone will remember: the mysterious phenomenon known as "gym penis." The crew investigates the surprisingly legitimate medical explanation behind workout shrinkage, resulting in one of the most ridiculous conversations you'll hear all week.We also cover changing marijuana habits in America, random facts you can pretend you already knew, Netflix's very first DVD shipment, Red Hot Chili Peppers trivia, China's single time zone, why Nevada still doesn't have a lottery, and yes... exactly how many bags of astronaut waste are still sitting on the moon.It's weird. It's heartfelt. It's sarcastic. It's completely unnecessary in the best possible way.

Lima and Ken run through their weekly likes and dislikes, praising Gavin Williams' strikeout streak (10-plus strikeouts with no more than one walk in five straight outings, tied for the second-longest such run since 1900) while lamenting David Fry's monthlong hitless drought. They also note Steven Kwan's rebound from a .209 slump to .258 and the Guardians holding steady despite a quiet trade deadline. Elsewhere, Lima approves of Donovan Mitchell's wedding to Coco Jones while Ken teases Wednesday's Cleveland WNBA team name announcement, with the Sirens seen as the frontrunner over options like the Crown and Founders. The segment closes on a lighter note about Motown legend Martha Reeves catching flak for a rough national anthem performance at age 85.

Rosie Perez has long been synonymous with New York and hip hop culture, starting with her appearances on “Soul Train”, her iconic choreographies and her big break with Spike Lee in “Do the Right Thing”. But when the Oscar, Golden Globe, and Emmy-nominated actress received a call to host a podcast about salsa music history, the native Nuyorican immediately said yes. Rosie is the host of Futuro Media’s new podcast “Our Thing: The Birth of Salsa in Nueva York” about the history of salsa in the city, the legends behind the music and Fania Records–often called “the Motown of Salsa”. On this episode of Latino USA recorded in front of a live audience at WNYC’s The Greene Space in New York City, Rosie Perez opens up about the experience. We discuss her love of boxing, what it means to grow up Nuyorican, and what salsa history means to her. Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.
