Dungeon Crawler Carl casting is heating up—but is Seth Green the right Mordecai?Seth Green has thrown his hat into the ring for the role of Mordecai in Peacock's upcoming live-action Dungeon Crawler Carl series. While he knows producer Seth MacFarlane, Green says he doesn't want to rely on that connection—he wants fans to push for it instead.Could he be the right fit for Carl and Donut's ever-changing mentor, or should someone else take the role? We also react to a packed week in pop culture, including RoboCop's return on Prime Video, Nolan's The Odyssey dominating theaters, Avengers: Doomsday's big trailer drop, DC's horror take on Clayface, and more in Views or Snooze.Who would you cast as Carl, Donut, and Mordecai?

G'day, and welcome back to True Blue Conversations. Today's guest is a man who has lived a life of service, resilience, and excellence. Ryan Wilson began his military career in the Australian Army Reserve before taking on one of the toughest challenges in the world—Special Air Service Regiment selection. After successfully earning his place in the SASR, Ryan went on to serve on multiple operational deployments around the globe as a specialist dog handler, operating alongside some of Australia's most elite soldiers. But this conversation goes far beyond medals and missions. Ryan opens up about the reality of life inside Special Forces—the relentless standards, the pressure of operating at the highest level, the unbreakable bonds forged between teammates, and the devastating pain of losing mates along the way. It's a raw, honest, and deeply personal insight into a world very few Australians ever get to see. Today, Ryan has taken that same commitment and discipline into business as the owner of Whipper Snap Distillery, proving that the values forged in military service can continue to shape success long after the uniform comes off. This is an episode about sacrifice, mateship, resilience, purpose, and what it truly means to serve. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Ryan Wilson.

Can you dig it?The Warriors are coming out to play again—but this time, they're heading to Broadway. Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis are transforming the cult 1979 Walter Hill movie into a full stage musical based on their acclaimed concept album. Their version reimagines the Warriors as an all-female gang and combines hip-hop, rock, salsa and R&B.Can the gritty story of a Coney Island gang fighting its way home survive the jump to Broadway, or does turning The Warriors into a Lin-Manuel Miranda musical completely miss what made the original movie work?We also get into Michael Caine licensing an AI-generated version of his voice to narrate The Odyssey, Instagram's attempt to become television, Hollywood's improving box-office numbers and the deeply uncomfortable Season 3 premiere of House of the Dragon.Plus, Trailer Trash features Ricky Gervais' Alley Cats, King of the Hill Season 15 and Apple TV's The Dink.

It is finals week on Maul or Nothing — and somehow Exeter Chiefs have smashed their way into the 2026 PREM Final.After a ridiculous comeback against Bath, Rob Baxter's Chiefs are back at Twickenham, Henry Slade is still absolutely ridiculous, the Exeter scrum is looking like it has snooker balls hidden in its socks, and Bath are left wondering how 41 phases, white-line fever and no Finn Russell magic ended their season.Max Lahiff joins us after the Premiership awards and a stag do — which already sounds like a medical case study — while Ryan Wilson survives a full daddy day care weekend and returns to help break down one of the maddest play-off weekends in years.We get stuck into Exeter's 27-26 semi-final win over Bath, the Chiefs' unreal play-off record, Stephen Varney's impact, Santiago Carreras and the drop-goal debate, Bath's final attacking passage, and whether Finn Russell's injury ultimately cost them a place in the final.Then it is Northampton Saints v Leicester Tigers: a proper Premiership classic. 76 points, 11 tries, Tom Litchfield's hat-trick, George Furbank's farewell fairytale, Henry Pollock carrying like a man possessed, Fin Smith pulling strings, and Rory Hutchinson still not getting nearly enough credit.And then we look ahead to the big one: Northampton Saints v Exeter Chiefs in the 2026 PREM Final. Can anyone actually stop Saints? Or are Exeter about to turn the fairytale into a robbery?Plus, we preview the URC Grand Final as Leinster face the Bulls again.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima weigh the risks of the Cleveland Browns potentially pursuing quarterback Brendan Sorsby despite his gambling history. CBS Sports analyst Ryan Wilson joins to provide a scouting report on Sorsby's elite talent compared to top prospects like Arch Manning. They also debate whether the organization can handle adding more controversy to the quarterback room. 01:50 - Quarterback Room Drama and Sorsby 05:33 - Browns Leadership on Sorsby Character 12:43 - Ryan Wilson Evaluates Sorsby Talent 18:00 - Gambling Risks and NFL Future 26:33 - Shedeur Sanders vs. Deshaun Watson 34:21 - Search for Franchise Quarterback
Ken and Anthony discuss the fallout of Brendan Sorsby entering the supplemental draft following gambling allegations and a divide between Andrew Berry and Todd Monken. They analyze Sorsby's professional outlook with guest Ryan Wilson and debate his value compared to Arch Manning. The conversation also explores a simulated NBA Finals where the Knicks are champions and the state of the Guardians without Jose Ramirez. 03:15 - Debating Brendan Sorsby's Future 08:35 - Character Concerns Versus Talent 13:35 - Monken and Berry Disagree 18:35 - Supplemental Draft Bidding Strategy 25:05 - Quarterback Room Purgatory 30:05 - Gambling Rules and Suspensions 36:45 - NCAA Legal Battle Precedents 45:15 - Emory Hunt's Season Outlook 51:30 - Shedeur Sanders Draft Debate 58:05 - Ryan Wilson Analyzes Sorsby 01:07:45 - Sorsby Versus Arch Manning 01:13:45 - Knicks Win Simulated Finals 01:21:20 - Cape Verde's Historic Upset 01:31:05 - Guardians Without Jose Ramirez 01:44:30 - Adversity in Collegiate Football 01:57:15 - Future Prospects and Arch 02:07:45 - Evaluating Browns Trade History 02:16:00 - Justin Termini Interview: NBA 02:25:20 - James Harden's Trade Impact 02:33:37 - Ken's Late Night Parental Rant
Ken and Lima bring in CBS Sports NFL draft analyst Ryan Wilson, who confirms that Sorsby's on-field talent is legitimate — going as far as saying he'd take Sorsby over Arch Manning on film alone. Wilson acknowledges the November collapse pattern is a real concern but stops short of pinning it entirely on Sorsby, noting circumstance and drops played a role. On the suspension question, Wilson says the Calvin Ridley precedent is the closest comparison but the situations differ enough that the NFL's ruling is genuinely unpredictable, with anything from one game to a full year on the table. The interview backfires somewhat on Ken's anti-Sorsby stance, with Lima noting that Wilson's glowing talent evaluation only makes it harder to dismiss the possibility — and Ken teases that one coach's single sentence may be enough to change his mind entirely.
Fresh off Ryan Wilson's emphatic endorsement of Sorsby's talent, Ken grudgingly steelmans the pro-Sorsby argument — pointing out that Arch Manning could stay in college, Dante Moore could bust, and the Browns might be left with nothing if they pass on a guy scouts take 10 out of 10 times over the most hyped quarterback in the 2027 class. Ken also plays a clip of Texas Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian leaving the door open on Arch returning to college, which only adds more uncertainty to the premise that the 2027 draft class will deliver a clean solution. Despite walking himself to the edge, Ken still lands on skepticism, arguing the Browns haven't earned the right to be anyone's reclamation project at quarterback. Lima praises Ken for staying open-minded while pushing back on the notion that wanting to get the position right is the same as perpetuating an "anybody but Shedeur" narrative.

On this episode of What's On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen dives headfirst into the controversial layers of North Dakota's upcoming election cycle. Scott exposes what he views as a deeply sinister motive behind the seemingly wholesome "free school lunch" constitutional ballot measure, tracing its massive financial backing straight to a militant pro-abortion group out of California. Later, Max Cassette, CFO of local ag-tech star 701x, joins the studio to show off their cutting-edge GPS solar ear tags—a brilliant piece of homegrown innovation that is revolutionizing cattle tracking, slashing calf mortality rates, and restoring sanity to ranchers. In the second half, Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak calls in to explain how she is fighting to codify common-sense flexibility into the EPA's burdensome Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) regulations to save American farmers billions in costly repairs. Plus, Michael Mortensen maps out the University of Mary's historic upcoming 5th annual pilgrimage to America's only approved Marian apparition site, and Carter Eisinger of the Cass County Republicans drops by to give a live look at early voting data and outline why local municipal races are the ultimate battleground for property taxes. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:01] The Million-Dollar School Lunch Scheme: Scott unpacks why an out-of-state special interest group is pouring massive money into a "mom and apple pie" free lunch ballot measure to quietly build a massive database of progressive voters. [00:02:12] Wealthy vs. Needy: Scott challenges the lack of means testing in the proposed legislation, arguing that wealthy families shouldn't have their children's meals heavily subsidized by average taxpayers. [00:03:29] Connecting the Ballot Dots: Callers and hosts debate the ultimate end game of the out-of-state funding, warning listeners that this "loss leader" measure is designed to pave the way for reshaping the state's constitutional stance on abortion and state spending. [00:06:22] Breaking News in the Gubernatorial Race: Scott drops live breaking news as the Republican party officially releases its candidates from previous conventions pledges, opening a highly competitive primary path for Lisa Dameth and Ryan Wilson. [00:07:36] 701x High-Tech Cattle Tracking: CFO Max Cassette introduces the XT Pro and XT Light ear tags, explaining how solar-powered cellular and satellite connectivity are changing livestock record-keeping from birth to processing. [00:09:41] Edge AI in the Pasture: Max explains how 701x bypasses the internet by utilizing "Edge Artificial Intelligence" directly on the ear tags to monitor calving behavior and spot sickness days before visual symptoms occur.…
Bristol's season is over, but not before Max Lahiff signed off Ashton Gate in style.The Bears may have missed the Premiership semi-finals, but they've still got the West Country bragging rights — and after that result which shall not be mentioned — they bounced back in exactly the right way.Max joins us fresh from Friday night after scoring the winning try on his 200th Premiership appearance. Remarkably, it was his 10th Premiership try — matching Ryan Wilson's career tally of 10 in 222 appearances. We break down the game, the celebrations, becoming an accidental social media sensation, launching Sam Underhill into low earth orbit, and whether we've lost a listener in the process.We also look back on an unforgettable weekend in Bilbao — the rugby, the food, the friends and the chaos — before reacting to the internet's latest attempts to describe Max:• The Honey Badger born in the Cotswolds• Like Hugh Grant and The Rock had a baby• A shoo-in for a Bond villain• The Brian Blessed of rugby• And multiple comparisons to Lord Flashheart…Then it's URC quarter-final time.Ryan relives Glasgow's hard-fought victory over Connacht in a bruising contest, with Kyle Steyn once again delivering when it mattered most.We also hear from Dan Lancaster after helping Glasgow beat a side coached by his father, Stuart Lancaster. What did he know about the old man? Did he have access to the calls? And what's it really like trying to knock your dad out of the URC?We break down all the quarter-final action:• Bulls v Munster• Stormers v Cardiff• Leinster v LionsPlus our semi-final predictions. Can either South African side stop what feels like an inevitable Glasgow v Leinster final?We then turn our attention to the Premiership run-in:• Saints secure a home semi-final• Exeter damage Leicester's top-two hopes while ending Bristol's season• Saracens keep rolling — is this the start of Sarries 2.0 or simply a strong finish?• Newcastle's end-of-season celebrations and whether they're getting slightly carried away…And with one round left, we preview two huge fixtures:• Bath v Leicester — potentially a semi-final dress rehearsal• Exeter v Saracens — effectively a win-and-you're-in shootout⸻

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ryan Wilson. Co-founder and CEO of The Gathering Spot (TGS), joins host Rushion McDonald to discuss his entrepreneurial journey, the creation and expansion of The Gathering Spot, and the broader mission of building community, economic opportunity, and cultural pride for Black professionals and creatives. Wilson explains that while TGS officially opened in Atlanta in 2016, the idea began years earlier when he was a law student in Washington, D.C. What started as a reimagining of the traditional private city club became a national platform combining community, collaboration, events, workspaces, and eventually fintech tools. Despite major obstacles—most notably being rejected by 97 potential investors—Wilson persisted, driven by a clear sense of purpose and belief in the unmet needs of Black and minority communities. The conversation highlights Atlanta’s importance as the launch city, the power of community-driven spaces, and the need to move beyond performative diversity efforts toward sustainable, scalable Black-owned businesses. Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview is to: Inspire entrepreneurs, especially young and underrepresented founders, to pursue their ideas despite resistance. Explain the mission and impact of The Gathering Spot as more than a coworking space—positioning it as a cultural, economic, and social hub. Encourage long-term thinking about Black business growth, community wealth, and access to financial tools. Provide real-world lessons about fundraising, resilience, leadership, and community building. Key Takeaways 1. Success Is a Process, Not an Overnight Event Wilson emphasizes that The Gathering Spot took years of planning, pitching, and rejection before launching. The popular narrative of “instant success” hides the real work required. Takeaway: Consistency and belief matter more than early validation. 2. Rejection Can Be a Signal You’re Early—Not Wrong Wilson was told “no” 97 times before securing his first investor. Instead of discouragement, he saw rejection as proof that he was pursuing something others couldn’t yet see. Takeaway: If everyone understands your idea immediately, you might not be pushing far enough. 3. Atlanta Was a Strategic and Cultural Choice Atlanta was selected because of its Black leadership, business ecosystem, cultural influence, and sense of communal support. Wilson describes the city as both big and intimate—ideal for relationship building. Takeaway: Location matters, especially when building community-centered businesses. 4. The Gathering Spot Is About Belonging and Pride TGS intentionally celebrates Black culture while remaining open to all. The experience is designed to feel warm, affirming, and professional—something many members had never encountered in adult spaces. Takeaway: Spaces are never neutral; design should be intentional about who feels welcomed and valued. 5. Community Is the Product While TGS offers buildings, events, restaurants, and workspaces, Wilson is clear that the network is the real value—introducing people who otherwise may never meet. Takeaway: Relationships create opportunity faster than resources alone. 6. Fintech Is About Real Access, Not Just Education Wilson explains that after years of hosting conversations about money and wealth, TGS realized the next step was providing actual financial tools, not just dialogue. Takeaway: Empowerment requires both knowledge and access. 7. DEI Without Results Is Performative Wilson and McDonald discuss the post-2020 slowdown in corporate DEI efforts. Wilson challenges organizations to focus less on optics and more on outcomes—specifically business scale and job creation. Takeaway: The goal isn’t to “look good losing,” but to win sustainably. Notable Quotes On rejection: “It was 97 people that told us no in a row before we got to our first yes.” On purpose: “My mission is to connect people. I’m a community builder.” On fear and timing: “I didn’t want to have any regrets about not trying.” On intentional design: “I was thinking about Black folks when we were building The Gathering Spot.” On DEI efforts: “Do you really want to win or look good losing?” On scale and impact: “It’s not enough to start Black-owned businesses—we have to watch them grow.” #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
