The guys talk about their recent run of shows, including sharing stages with 311, Dirty Heads and Ocean Alley, as well as the completely unique experience of performing with the Savannah Bananas at Petco Park. We get into what makes those shows different, how their live performance has evolved, and what it's like watching the opportunities continue to get bigger.And then there's the music.Their latest single, “Deeper Blue,” is out now, with two more singles scheduled to arrive later this year. We talk about the direction they're heading creatively, what fans can expect from those upcoming releases, and the band's next full-length record, tentatively scheduled for February.It's a conversation about three longtime friends who have grown up together, built a band together, and are still pushing themselves to see how far they can take it.www.caughtonthemike.comcaughtonthemike@gmail.com

Country music star Morgan Wallen had given the family of University of Idaho murder victim Ethan Chapin free tickets to his July 2023 concert in San Diego after learning about the emotional connection Ethan and his mother, Stacy Chapin, had shared through Wallen's music. Before Ethan was killed, he had sent his mother Wallen's song “Thought You Should Know,” which Wallen had written as a tribute to his own mother, and told Stacy that the song could represent their relationship as well. After Ethan's death, Stacy had spoken publicly about the significance the song continued to hold for her. Wallen eventually learned about the story and arranged for Stacy, her husband Jim, Ethan's surviving triplet siblings Maizie and Hunter, and other family members and friends to attend his sold-out show at Petco Park. Wallen met the Chapins before the concert, and his mother, Lesli Wallen, had also traveled to San Diego to meet them.Stacy had described the experience as an emotional and bittersweet full-circle moment, particularly because Wallen performed the song that had become so closely associated with Ethan. The gesture went beyond concert tickets and a backstage meeting, however, as Wallen also presented the family with a donation to the Ethan's Smile Foundation, the nonprofit the Chapins had established in their son's memory. The foundation had focused on providing scholarships and educational opportunities to students in Washington's Skagit Valley, including students attending the University of Idaho. Stacy said Wallen's generosity had been one of the kindest gestures she had experienced, while acknowledging the painful reality that the extraordinary encounter had only happened because of the devastating loss of her son. Ethan had been killed alongside Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves at an off-campus Moscow, Idaho, home in November 2022.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Luis Rengifo didn't expect to become this important to the Padres' season, but here he is — anchoring left field, delivering in big spots, and helping push San Diego back into the thick of the wild card race. After finally getting a day off following a stretch of 26 games in 27 days, Rengifo joined Friar Friday to talk about the grind, his ongoing adjustment to outfield play at Petco Park, and the first grand slam of his career. "It feels amazing," he said of the slam. "I never hit a grand slam. But for me, it's just go there and know what situation you have and be productive for the team." With the Padres firmly in playoff position, Rengifo says the team knows it's time to pick up the pace. "That's the time you want to go to the playoffs. You want to fight every single day."

WINES WE'RE DRINKING Aleksandrouli by Koncho & Co Red Dry Wine | 85% Aleksandrouli, 15% Mudjuretuli In this episode, Jessica sits down with Karen Zaragoza, a San Diego-born event marketing strategist, community builder, and creative entrepreneur who has built not one, but three interconnected platforms rooted in a single belief: community is the catalyst for everything. Karen shares the story behind Social Creatives, the community-first foundation that came before anything else, and how it gave birth to two focused branches: The Lead Lab, a growth and strategy resource for small businesses, and Plant Bae's, a plant-based wellness community creating space for conscious connection, love, and personal evolution. But this conversation goes beyond the business. Karen opens up about one of the most transformative chapters of her life: becoming a mother as a teenager. She reflects on how having a daughter reshaped her sense of purpose, her priorities, and ultimately the woman and leader she became. She also gets vulnerable about the turmoil she navigated growing up in her family, the lessons she carried into adulthood, and how those experiences quietly shaped her philosophy of building spaces where people feel supported, seen, and connected. From producing community markets and large-scale activations with organizations like the SD Food Bank, Petco Park, and the U.S. Navy, to designing speed dating events and transformational workshops through Plant Bae's, Karen is proof that when your work is rooted in lived experience, it creates real impact. This one hits close to home, and you're going to love her.
