I’m joined by Emilie and Josh from Venus Club — they’re a dark wave Chicago band that I absolutely adore. The new EP, Extended, is dreamy, haunting, and well positioned for your autumnal listening pleasure. We met in a south side parking lot, as people do, and chatted about their sound, their drunken origin story (subject to debate?), Ace of Base’s oeuvre, and they joys of physical media.

In this hour of Follow The Money, Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard look at the updated NFL Awards market, plus go inside "Mitch and Pauly's Pizzeria" to give their thoughts on listeners' long-shot parlays. Also, Professional Sports Bettor Paul Stone joins the show to give out his college football week 2 best bets.

After a shift at Zepeddie's Pizzeria in Charlotte, North Carolina, Iryna Zarutska boarded the train and quickly made a decision where to sit. Did she think about her safety? Did she fear sitting in front of a Black man with dreadlocks and a face twisted into worried knots? Or did she find a seat far away from him, just on a hunch?The truth is that Iryna had no real choice. If she avoided the seat in front of the Black man, she might look like a racist. She had no reason to fear him, after all, because she was sympathetic to the plight of racism in America and even had the words “Black Lives Matter” and “I can't breathe” scrawled on a chalkboard in her room. She was learning to speak English, and what better way than to get to know the villains and the heroes in America in 2025? She was just 23, having arrived in the US at the age of 20, with a degree in art and restoration from Synergy College in Kyiv. She joined a settlement of other Ukrainian refugees in Charlotte. She knew enough to tuck her hair into her cap, keep her glasses on, and not look like the blonde beauty that has now blanketed all social media. If you look like that, no one will leave you alone. But a little fear would have done Iryna good, as it would do any young woman riding the train at night. Fear is her only protection. The problem is, when it comes to Black men, white women are shamed out of that fear. They don't want to appear like racists or Karens. They won't grab their purse in an elevator or avoid sitting too close to a Black man. They don't want to buy into the stereotype that has white women fearing Black men for centuries.As she boarded the train that night heading home, she could not have known that the man she sat in front of had thirteen previous arrests and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. She wrapped her arms around her body and seemed to display a sense of foreboding. She looked afraid of something or someone, just not of the guy sitting behind her.With her earbuds canceling out all noise, she might not have heard the man take out his knife. Before she knew it, he was stabbing her neck, killing her. Did the other passengers scream? Did anyone try to do anything to alert her to the danger? No. They were too afraid. When her murderer finished, he paced around the train as the passengers huddled in fear, with blood dripping all around him, her blood. She escaped the war in Ukraine only to be murdered by a country also at war, at war with the truth. The truth about crime, about mental health, about Defund the Police, about bad governance.There was a time when this would have been a major news story. Now, after 2020, this story would have to be memory-holed, like every other story where a Black man is the perp. The only stories that go viral now or become major news stories are those that fit the narrative - it's white men, incels, “white supremacists,” and MAGA you have to fear. So, how would Iryna have known to even be afraid or cautious that she might want to find a seat far from everyone on the train? Maybe she wouldn't wear her headphones. Maybe she would look around at everyone, even the guy sitting behind her. But she didn't. Here are Megyn Kelly, Rich Lowry, and Charles C. W. Cooke.Stories like these are reported on local news, but they never capture the attention of the major networks or legacy media, like this story of a woman in Chicago who was beaten to a pulp by a repeat offender. Reporting on white women as victims might devalue their brand. It might generate outrage and an uproar that they are contributing to racism and discrimination. But what about Iryna and other young women just like her? Will we send them out into the world without warning that violence can come at any time, no matter the skin color?And why is everyone okay with the double standard? The silence by the media on deaths or killings that don't involve a white man? How do they get away with lying to their viewers and their readers? Has the New York Times even covered this story? If they do, it will likely be only to call out “MAGA” for turning it into a story about race.“Don't be a Good White Liberal” Those were the words I told my daughter many years ago when she went off to college. “Always protect yourself, no matter who it is. Don't let white guilt prevent you from being cautious.” I had to tell her that. I had to drill it into her head. It would be our secret. She would never have to tell anyone, but she would know. What prompted me to tell her that was the story of Lily Burk from 2009. She was the daughter of a progressive Liberal who helped her mother feed the homeless in Los Angeles. She attended one of the expensive, fancy private schools I could never have afforded for my daughter. One day, Burk wanted to practice driving, so her mother sent her out to run some errands. She happened to see one of the homeless people she fed for charity. She knew him. He knew her. He pressured her to drive him to an ATM and get him some money. Her card didn't work. So he bashed her head against the dashboard and murdered her.That was long before Black Lives Matter, before Defund the Police, before cashless bail. Even then, it wasn't exactly easy to talk about a crime like this, much less warn our daughters as they headed off to college. But that story haunted me. Even now, I can't imagine what it must have been like for her mother to wonder, How could I have let her take my car? How could I have raised her to be so trusting? Why didn't I tell her to be cautious even around homeless Black men? I knew I had to get the message across to my daughter, Don't be a Good White Liberal at the cost of your own safety. You'd think I would have followed my own advice. But white guilt runs deep. That's why in 2023, I fell for a scam. I thought it was a call from my bank. I could tell the caller was Black, so I was as accommodating and trusting as I could be, not wanting to seem like a Karen. He told me that someone had stolen my bank card, and he listed my purchases. Somehow, he had my account information. Then he said, “Did you wire $4,000 to someone?” And in a panic, I said NO! He said he'd stop the payment, but I had to confirm that it was me. That was my mistake. If I hadn't been trying not to be a racist, I might have doubted him or asked him if I could call him back, but I was too worried about his feelings. Once he got my confirmation, he was able to disappear with $5,000 from my bank account, all the money I had. I've never told that story because I am ashamed of how stupid I was, how easily manipulated I was, and that white guilt. It turned out to be a harbinger of things to come. The next year, I was canceled by Hollywood and called a “racist,” which would wipe out my income. Oh, the irony.The story here isn't to fear Black men or that Black men are more dangerous. It's that white guilt often means ignoring the gut instinct for self-protection. The false narrative pushed out by Hollywood, the legacy media, and the Democrats - that only white men are bad or violent will ultimately make all women unsafe, and hiding the truth to fit the narrative will get more women like Iryna killed.Every night I go to sleep, I worry about my daughter. I want Trump to send the National Guard into Cleveland. I want her to be protected while living in such close proximity to a high-crime city. But if she can't be protected and the streets can't be safe, then let her remember to protect herself, to be aware of who and what is around her at all times. I made her watch the video. I don't want her to be another girl on the train, failed by weak leaders and undone by white guilt. Iryna deserved better. She deserved to fulfill her life as an artist. To maybe get married, maybe travel back to Ukraine when the war is over. But most of all, she deserved to be safe, to be left alone, to make it to her stop just so she could get off the train and find her way back home safe and sound.The GoFundMe for Iryna has now raised $112,616. // This is a public episode.

“I could barely stop from grinnin’, and I’m sorry, Jesus, but tonight I’m sinnin’” Gina Barcal has moved away from her punk and indie roots (Venom Lords, Pillowmints, etc.) to create a solo EP of authentic, no-kidding, Americana songs. “Midwest ‘til the End” comes out on November 7, followed by a show at Fitzgeralds Sidebar on November 8. Well before that, Gina jumped in the car to talk about how her career has led her to these sounds and this moment, her muse (a “Midwest boy with calloused hands"), how her parents are remembered on the EP, and whether the song “Whiskey Don’t Fail Me Now” is true-to-life.

Alexis Plaen releases her sharp, conceptual, and beautifully constructed pop debut, “Enjoy the Void,” on 10/10/25. In advance of that, she joined me for a conversation in Avondale that covered: *The pervasive album themes of existential dread and finding oneself *The devastating (and perhaps suspect) house fire that changed everything for her *The variety of styles and approaches to her music *The trouble with TikTok *The hauntingly accurate and memorable lyric, “Too bad a funeral’s cheaper than a hospital” If you haven’t yet heard Alexis’s music or watched her videos, I think you’ll be impressed by how accomplished it all is.

Send us a textFrom Engineering to Excellence: Inside Mattenga's Pizzeria's Rise to Pizza Today's 2025 Pizzeria of the YearThe latest episode of The Hot Slice Podcast with Pizza Today featured an inspiring conversation with Matthew and Hengam Stanfield, the engineering-minded power couple behind Mattenga's Pizzeria. Fresh off their monumental achievement of being named Pizza Today's 2025 Pizzeria of the Year, the Stanfields shared the strategic insights and systematic approaches that transformed their struggling single pizzeria into San Antonio's fastest-growing pizza business.A Remarkable Month of RecognitionThe timing couldn't have been more perfect for the Stanfields. In the same week they received the prestigious Pizzeria of the Year honor, Mattenga's also secured their third consecutive "Best of San Antonio" award – a testament to their consistent excellence and community impact. "It was in the exact same week," Hengam noted during the podcast. "Pretty awesome." This dual recognition represents more than just accolades; it demonstrates how the couple has successfully balanced operational excellence with deep community engagement throughout San Antonio.The Power of Customer-Centric MarketingOne of the most striking aspects of Mattenga's success lies in how they leverage recognition and media coverage. Rather than making achievements about themselves, the Stanfields consistently redirect the spotlight to their customers and community. "We never want to make it about us," Hengam explained. "It takes a village with the team, but also we are here because we have a lot of great customers that continue to support us. So it's always making it about gratitude to our customers." This approach has contributed to their impressive 15-20% steady sales growth this year, with multiple high-profile moments including a Dave Portnoy visit creating sustained momentum rather than temporary spikes.Engineering Excellence in Restaurant OperationsThe Stanfields' engineering backgrounds shine through in their systematic approach to restaurant management. Their comprehensive meeting structure includes three distinct sessions:Texas Hospitality meetings focusing on reviews and above-and-beyond service storiesEngineered meetings diving deep into 20+ key performance metricsInvest meetings centered on leadership development and team growth"As restaurant owners, you have many problems, then you can think about the source of your problem," Hengam shared. "Whatever problem we have is a system problem... instead of pointing to people, a lot of times, I think in our industry, we look at people are the problem."Innovative Commissary OperationsThe podcast revealed fascinating insights into Mattenga's commissary implementation across all seven locations. By centralizing prep work and investing in specialized equipment like the "cheese hog" that shreds 48 pounds of cheese in seconds, they've achieved remarkable efficiency gains. Matthew noted they successfully reduced their labor target from 23% to 19% while improving consistency and freeing up front-line staff to focus on hospitality rather than prep work.Vision for Explosive GrowthLooking toward the future, the Stanfields aren't thinking small. With plans to potentially reach 21 locations within three years – maintaining their current growth trajectory – they're actively preparing systems and leadership development for a 400-employee operation. "What has gotten us here will not get us there," Hengam reflected, emphasizing their commitment to continuous evolution and improvement. The couple also teased exciting developments they couldn't yet share on the podcast, hinting at franchise opportunities and other strategic initiatives

Adam Cheyer is a pioneering AI technologist whose innovations have fundamentally shaped today's intelligent interfaces. As co-founder of Siri Inc. (acquired by Apple), he served as a Director of Engineering at Apple's iOS group, and later co-founded Viv Labs (acquired by Samsung), Sentient Technologies, and played a founding role in Change.org. Adam Cheyer was Chief Architect of CALO, one of DARPA's largest AI projects, authored over 60 publications and holds more than 25 patents In recognition of his achievement, he received his alma mater Brandeis University's 2024 Alumni Achievement Award - for transforming a long?standing AI vision into everyday tools used by hundreds of millions. Now represented by Champions Speakers Agency, he continues to speak globally on how organisations can harness AI with responsibility, scale, and impact. Q1. How do you see the role of data management in enabling AI capabilities and bringing data to life for organisations? Adam Cheyer: "AI systems are built on two foundations: algorithms and data. The algorithms themselves are well established, but without high-quality, well-organised data, they can't deliver real value. Data is the fuel that powers every AI application, and managing it effectively is now a mission-critical skill for any organisation developing AI. "With the rapid acceleration of AI in recent years - especially in the past six months - the ability to handle, refine, and govern data has shifted from being a technical advantage to an essential requirement across industries." Q2. What challenges have you faced when managing large data sets? Adam Cheyer: "I've been building AI systems over 30 years, so it's changed a little bit over time. Clearly, the first issue is just storage and management and processing of the data. The data now is so large. Back in the 80s and 90s that wasn't quite as essential, it was smaller data sets, but today the data sets are huge. "So, you need a system that can store it efficiently in a distributed way, and we've used various systems over the years to do that. You need a system that can process this huge amount of data in parallel at scale. "One of the key areas in data management for me is data quality. Even if you work with data companies - and when we were a start-up, and then even at Apple for instance - many of the data sources come from other places, other vendors, and surprisingly the data is not always in perfect clean form. "So, you need to have a process and tools and a pipeline that goes through and takes that data, cleanses it, adapts it, and often if you have multiple sources you need to integrate data together, and that can be a real challenge. "There are standard systems, ETL systems etc., but sometimes you need proprietary algorithms. As an example, with Siri, when we were a start-up, you would get millions and millions of restaurant name data and business name data. "If you had something like Joe's Restaurant and Joe's Bar and Grill - are they the same or not? That's a real problem. Joe's - probably you'd say yes, but Joe's Pizzeria and Joe's Grill maybe not, right? And so, how do you know? "There's a lot of work that goes into cleansing, integrating data. "And then the final thing I'll mention, which is a big topic in data management, is privacy and security. Once you have data coming in from users, there are standards, issues, and regulations that mean you need to be able to ensure that the data you have is accessible only by the right people, that it is secured and protected, and that it keeps privacy as much as possible - standardised. "At Apple, we had a number of techniques and teams, and there's a lot that goes into that. So, you need good systems, good processes, and to set up your organisation to be able to handle all of these challenges." Q3. How do you manage data privacy when building large AI systems? Adam Cheyer: "Absolutely, so it is a challenge. Your first tendency is, well, we just record everything, but I think that'...

I’m out of the car for this one, joining Broken Robots (Kat, Tony, Elix, Anthony, Ari) in the band’s Logan Square home studio for a long overdue conversation. The chat lands days before the release (9/12) of what is arguably their finest moment, “The Great American Struggle.” We talk at length about the meaning and construction of the songs and how they all fit together. It was important to frame the album’s completion around how the band has dealt with dramatic blows over the past few years, the most dramatic and impactful being Tony’s cancer diagnosis and his inspirational fight to come out on top. True to form, Tony discusses the topic with transparency and sincerity. Not to spoil any of the details, but it’s important to keep doing the things that inspire you, no matter what kind of hand life deals you. See Broken Robots in their album release show at LiveWire on 9/12, and be sure to stream/buy/consume “The Great American Struggle” upon its release.

Negli ultimi anni sempre più pizzerie propongono diversi impasti, stesure e tecniche di cottura. In questa maniera c'è indubbiamente più scelta per il cliente e spazio per tipologie che meritano spazio e che incontrano i gusti diversi del pubblico. Non tutti infatti amano una tipologia specifica, e offrirne di più significa allargare il target e soddisfare anche chi è in cerca di nuove esperienze.Dall'altra parte, però, i rischi sono tanti, innanzitutto il voler fare tutto, ma peggio. Mi è capitato infatti di ordinare ad esempio una pizza con stesura a “ruota di carro” e trovarmi davanti a una creazione della ruota di carro ha solo il nome, senza le giuste dimensioni, senza la giusta lavorazione o tenacità al morso. E poi c'è la questione dell'identità. Una pizzeria che vuole accontentare tutti rischia di scontentarne un bel po', senza emergere realmente con il proprio impasto e menu rispetto alle tante pizzerie buone che oggi popolano lo stivale in lungo e in largo, per una vera e propria crisi di identità.

Friend of a Friend is the brilliant and inventive musical group powered by Claire Molek and Jason Savsani. Their third album, “Desire!,” came out earlier this year, and it’s moody, atmospheric, at-times unnerving, and gorgeous. I love it. They joined me outside Tacos El Tio in Oak Park (1115 Lake Street) for a conversation about their history, “Desire,” and the incredibly spooky place where the album was recorded. Befriend Friend of a Friend. I think you’re going to love them.

I’m joined for this episode by two guys who spent decades turning a smart, biting sense of humor into underground, DIY favorites as part of Too Much Joy, and later… Wonderlick. We talked during the pandemic about Too Much Joy in a standard COVID-era “Zoom” chat… and this time around, I met Tim Quirk and Jay Blumenfield in person. We met at the wonderful Blue Island Beer Company, where the band was set to play later in the evening. Sitting outside on a perfect Chicago weather day, we chatted about: -The differences between Too Much Joy and Wonderlick -The new album, “Wonderlick Goes to War” -Tim’s obsessiveness about… everything? -Why is there a documentary crew following them around everywhere? -What the studio sessions were like for this album -What being a musician is like in 2025, as opposed to Too Much Joy’s heyday -The Chicago connection to the new Wonderlick album -Vinko Bogotaj: Who was he? Why does Wonderlick have a song about him? -There’s a major Too Much Joy reissue on the way! See Wonderlick on tour, and give “Wonderlick Goes to War” a listen. They’re awesome.

In this flavor deep dive, Mason and Adam pull back the curtain on how flavors are built. From the chemistry behind natural extracts to the artistry of crafting artificial flavor compounds, they explore the science and creativity that shape what we taste in our glasses. Whether it's the citrus pop in a spritz, the vanilla in your bourbon, or the tropical notes in a hard seltzer, the boys break down how these flavors are created—and why they matter.

(June 18, 2025) — The Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP), in partnership with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), proudly announces the successful completion of its first ever Small Town Enhancement Grant Program, which invested nearly $90,000 across five rural communities in Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties. Launched in early 2024, the program empowered small towns to breathe new life into community spaces that define local identity and economic potential. With projects now complete, the results speak volumes—showcasing how targeted investments can foster pride, encourage gathering, and create lasting impact. “We believe that thriving, beautiful places are a cornerstone of economic growth,” said Bob Trezise, president and CEO of LEAP. “This program proves that with the right support, our small towns can build spaces that preserve their charm while embracing the future.” “Everyone was really excited to hear the bell ring again,” said Becky Austin, Vermontville village clerk when referring to the town's historic bell tower dating back to 1862. “This building has always been a gathering place. It means so much to our community to see it restored and honored.” The project was celebrated with a community ribbon-cutting in November, capping off a journey that began with LEAP's traveling “Small Town Road Show” and check presentation earlier in the summer. Over in Maple Rapids, local favorite Phillips Cider Bar & Pizzeria received a long-overdue facelift, restoring the façade of the 120-year-old building while maintaining its vintage appeal. The revitalization is already helping reenergize the small town's downtown corridor. “We've had people stop by while local contractors were still finishing the job—just to say how excited they were,” said Gregg Smyth, owner of Phillips Cider Bar & Pizzeria. “This grant helped us invest in the town we love. There's new energy here, and it's just the beginning.” The project was unveiled during a November ribbon cutting that drew crowds and cemented the site's renewed role as a centerpiece of the community. Other completed projects include the City of Ovid, which enhanced Main Street with new banners; the City of Leslie, which installed a new community pavilion; and the Village of Stockbridge, where a $25,000 grant transformed a vacant patio area next to Village Hall into a walkable community space designed for relaxation and connection. About LEAP The Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP) is a coalition of area leaders partnering to build a stronger community for all — working every day to grow, retain and attract business to the Lansing, Michigan, region.

Send us a textThis week on The Hot Slice Podcast with Pizza Today we have George Gilliam, owner of Uncle G's Pizza in Birmingham, Alabama. George reached out to us to do a story on how he has doubled and tripled slow days at the restaurant. The conversion was so captivating that we wanted to share it on the podcast. Gilliam set a strategy into motion to turn his slowest days into high-volume sales days. He focused on increasing sales with daily specials one slow day at a time until he covered the entire week. “This kind of aggressive weekday programming has brought in the traffic and revenue we needed on nights that used to be dead,” he says. “I've built out a weekly schedule that gives people a clear reason to visit every single day.”He approached each day with a new special and/or event and shares which days he started with. Uncle G's promotes the days through its social accounts, e-mail and in store. It's designed as weekly programming that Gilliam says people can build into their routines.The conversation on social media led into a genuine talk on AI and advanced technology and their role in small independent pizzerias.Read our article with George “Doubling to Tripling a Restaurant's Slow Day Sales” at https://pizzatoday.com/topics/brand-marketing/doubling-to-tripling-a-restaurants-slow-day-sales/Learn more about Uncle G's Pizza at https://unclegspizza.com/ and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/unclegspizza/  Show Notes:Find out who is this year's Pizzeria of the Year at https://PizzaToday.com.Be on the lookout in your inbox for our annual Pizzeria Operator Trends & Outlook Survey!
