This week the guys find themselves diving into some truly questionable product design, starting with nipple-friendly roach clips (yes, apparently that's a thing). From there, they clean things up with a story of a wedding that went off without a hitch — a rare success in the unpredictable world of open bars and dance floors. Just when you think things are safe, the conversation circles back around to the unsettling rise of adult pacifiers.

Gongu Roach is a forensic publishing expert responsible with the representation of many hip-hop stars past and present when it comes to contract authentication and recovery of publishing revenue, he sits down with Gully Tv to discuss how he was able to uncover manipulation and wrongdoing by Fat Joe in relation to Big Pun's estate being shorted millions of dollars, representing "The Lox" during they're break up with Sean Diddy Combs & Bad Boy Records. He also speaks on how he was able to assist Max B's defense team in reducing Max's 75 year prison sentence

Love is the Message is back! After last series' mammoth 18-month excavation of the year 1977 we're switching things up a bit. While we'll continue to chart our rough way through the history explored in our work to date, for the moment we're going to focus on a few smaller, more bite-size topics, starting with the 2024 film Soundtrack to a Coup D'Etat. A natural partner piece to our beloved Summer of Soul, Johan Grimonprez's documentary tracks in vivid and exhilarating style the Cold War episode that led American musicians Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach to crash the UN Security Council in protest against the murder of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba. On this show Tim and Jeremy discuss mid-Twentieth Century decolonialism, resistance and the activities of black jazz activists in America. We hear the history of the colonisation of Congo by Belgium, introduce Lumumba as a unique historical figure, and spend some time reflecting on how these imperial legacies resonate today. On the music front, we hear listen to Roach behind the kit, cue up a series of Congolese rhumbas and boleros, and close with seminal civil rights singer Nina Simone. Elsewhere in the episode we stop by Malcom X, Khrushchev, and Joseph Conrad. The horror, the horror…Edited by Matt Huxley.Tracklist:Max Roach - Freedom Day Ata Ndele - Adou Elenga Joseph Kabasele - Independence Cha-Cha O.K. Jazz - Pas Un Pas Sans… Nina Simone - Wild is the WindBooks:Joseph Conrad - Heart of Darkness

Brooklyn's Richardson Hitchins pulls zero punches on the 140-lb landscape. He says Subriel Matías and Gary Antoine Russell are “high-risk, low-reward,” while Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez are the star-making fights he wants now.

From the New York Times best-selling author of Stiff and Fuzz, a rollicking exploration of the quest to re-create the impossible complexities of human anatomy.The body is the most complex machine in the world, and the only one for which you cannot get a replacement part from the manufacturer. For centuries, medicine has reached for what's available—sculpting noses from brass, borrowing skin from frogs and hearts from pigs, crafting eye parts from jet canopies and breasts from petroleum by-products. Today we're attempting to grow body parts from scratch using stem cells and 3D printers. How are we doing? Are we there yet?In Replaceable You, Mary Roach explores the remarkable advances and difficult questions prompted by the human body's failings. When and how does a person decide they'd be better off with a prosthetic than their existing limb? Can a donated heart be made to beat forever? Can an intestine provide a workable substitute for a vagina?Roach dives in with her characteristic verve and infectious wit. Her travels take her to the OR at a legendary burn unit in Boston, a “superclean” xeno-pigsty in China, and a stem cell “hair nursery” in the San Diego tech hub. She talks with researchers and surgeons, amputees and ostomates, printers of kidneys and designers of wearable organs. She spends time in a working iron lung from the 1950s, stays up all night with recovery techs as they disassemble and reassemble a tissue donor, and travels across Mongolia with the cataract surgeons of Orbis International.Irrepressible and accessible, Replaceable You immerses readers in the wondrous, improbable, and surreal quest to build a new you.ABOUT THE AUTHORMary Roach is the author of seven best-selling works of nonfiction, including Grunt, Stiff, and, most recently, Fuzz. Her writing has appeared in National Geographic and the New York Times Magazine, among other publications.Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - ​https://wellingtonsquarebooks.com/book/9781324050629

Bestselling author Mary Roach joins Obsessed With Death to talk about her new book Replaceable You, the fears of aging vs. dying, what it's like to step inside a 1950s iron lung, and why she originally fought against the now iconic toe-tag cover of Stiff.

The best-selling science journalist Mary Roach has written about sex and death and the digestive system — basically, all of the topics that children are taught to avoid in polite company. In her latest, “Replaceable You,” she examines prosthetics, robotics and other ways that technology can interact with human anatomy. On this week's episode of the podcast, Roach tells host Gilbert Cruz how she comes up with her ideas and what keeps drawing her back to the bizarre, hilarious bits of trivia that the human body offers up.

Science writer Mary Roach is fascinated by the human body, especially, she says, the "gooey bits and pieces of us that are performing miracles on a daily basis. Roach has done deep dives on human cadavers, the digestive system and the science of sex. Now, in Replaceable You, she chronicles both the history of body part replacement (including prosthetic noses that date back to the 1500s), and more recent medical breakthroughs in regenerative medicine. Roach spoke with Terry Gross. This month marks Terry's 50th anniversary as host of Fresh Air. To commemorate the milestone, Sam Fragoso interviewed Terry for his podcast Talk Easy. In this excerpt, Gross shares her life motto and tells a story about writing song lyrics in high school. Listen to the full episode of Terry Gross on Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso.Follow Fresh Air on instagram @nprfreshair, and Talk Easy @talkeasypod.

Joseline Hernandez, the Puerto Rican Princess herself, pulls up to Lip Service for one of her wildest interviews yet! From eating a $50,000 roach

Like any machine, bodies occasionally break down, and it's natural to go in search of a replacement part. Ancient societies featured simple prosthetics for teeth, noses, and limbs, while modern medicine pursues more advanced ways of replacing internal organs and microbiomes. But what is striking is not just the impressive ingenuity of our attempts to replicate human anatomy, but the surprising level of difficulty involved in doing it well.
