Brook and Robin Lopez are known as the powerhouse twins of the NBA... but they'd prefer to be thought of more as the real life Chip 'n' Dale (you know, if they were seven feet tall).As lovable and wild as they are competitive, Brook and Robin get into how they became inseparable - from an upbringing that included them being literally leashed together as kids, their brothers making them duke it out, and what it was like playing each other as they were coming up as teammates and NBA rivals. The brothers also reveal the origins of their lifelong passion for animation, what the perks of being NBA stars are for them (like attending a dream come true table read of "The Simpsons"), and how much of their lives off the court revolves around their shared love of Disney - including Brook meeting his now wife at Disney World's Animal Kingdom and buying homes at Magic Kingdom on both coasts.

"Sony Music Publishing confirmed an agreement to acquire Blackstone's Recognition Music Group catalog for $3.5 billion. The Red Hot Chili Peppers just sold their catalog for $300 million. Other Funds are raising billions to start buying. These buyers are called Music Rights Funds. I became interested in how these Funds actually made money. How does one invest and can I sell my own music. I have the answers for you."

"The New York Times released their 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters list a short while ago. I know online lists usually have some click bait to start conversation but this list was overtly egregious. Not for who was on it. It was who was left off. We will go over the list and play some artists that should have been on there."

"Many summer tours are having to scale back or cancel altogether. The nickname given to this practice is Blue Dot Fever. It is named after the blue dots that appear on unsold seats when a ticket buyer uses Ticketmaster. It has become indicative of a larger societal and financial concern that is leading to people not being able to attend live music. We will explain."

In this lively episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes author-illustrator Maddie Frost to celebrate her new illustrated middle grade novel, Really Ruby, along with her other upcoming releases. Maddie introduces us to Ruby Fox, an 11-year-old heading off to a month-long summer camp in Vermont—without her best friend Riley, who's sidelined with a broken ankle. Based on Maddie's own camp experiences, the story explores anxiety, homesickness, friendship shifts, and the scary-but-exciting feeling of stepping outside your bubble. Maddie shares her journey from Mass College of Art animation student and restaurant worker to full-time children's book creator—complete with the "no backup plan" leap where she quit her teaching job to seriously pursue books. She talks about the joy of making deeply personal, funny, slightly awkward stories for middle grade readers and how Ruby's doodle-style illustrations let her embrace imperfection and authenticity. We also hear about her whirlwind June releases: Really Ruby, Stuffy Stand (a picture book about burnout, asking for help, and collaboration), and Farm Shark, a wildly silly farm story written by former Simpsons writer Bill Canterbury. Later in the episode, Jed is joined by Paul Paolilli and Dan Brewer, co-authors of Pondering: A Story in Cinquains. Dan, a high school English teacher, explains how the American cinquain form helps kids play with language, rhythm, and imagery, while Paul reflects on ponds, nature, and how poetry invites kids to slow down, observe, and imagine. Together, they and Jed explore how poetic picture books can spark conversations, creativity, and deeper family reading experiences.

Minimalist music is not about minimal materials. It's about time. It's a process that puts the experience of time into sound. In discussing Minimalist Music, his new book for 33 1/3's GENRE series, musician and critic George Grella, Jr. (Miles Davis' Bitches Brew) looks at the classical music history that pushed composers like Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Meredith Monk, and Arvo Pärt to pursue a musical approach that shunned early 20th Century academic trends and brought classical music back to the public. He also talks about the ways this music interacts with pop culture, through film scores and soundtracks and appearances on TV shows like The Simpsons and Ted Lasso. Hosted and produced by Justin Remer. Recorded remotely via Zencastr. If you like podcasts, maybe you would enjoy audiobooks too. Please out the Skylight Books Podcast playlist of audiobooks featured in our recent Skylit author interviews, on Libro.fm. Opening music: "Optimism (Instrumental)" by Duck the Piano Wire. Closing music: "Rule of 3s (Solemnity Child)" by Elastic No-No Band.

"This is a requested topic from a friend. He wondered if we had ever discussed steel drums. We had not so we did a show. We have some history and some discussion of tuning and prices. There are also a lot of songs that use the steel drum you may not have noticed before."

Hot Chip is a band from London made up of Alexis Taylor, Joe Goddard, Al Doyle, Owen Clarke, and Felix Martin. Their second album, The Warning, came out in 2006. It was nominated for a Mercury Prize, and named one of the best albums of the year by NME and Pitchfork. And later, NME would include it in their list of best albums of all time. For this episode, I talked to them about one of the songs from The Warning called “Boy From School.” You might have heard it in the second season of the show Beef on Netflix—the band's also in the show—or you might have heard it on The Simpsons. You could have also heard the song in my car all the time in 2006. So I was very excited to talk to Alexis and Joe from Hot Chip about how “Boy from School” was made.For more info, visit songexploder.net/hot-chip.

The schedule's out and the After Dark crew has opinions. Chris from Alabama likes the bye week placement and is already planning his trip to the Week 13 game. Kyle from Madison calls the first four weeks "layups" and dubs the Packers' social media aesthetic "local car dealership." Uncle Rico checks in from Nashville, where apparently the working part of a work trip takes a backseat to downtown. Batman breaks the season into sections and lands on 12-5. And then there are four separate Nico appearances — covering Micah's return timeline, the offensive ceiling with a healthy roster, the possibility that the NFL used AI to build the schedule, and a full-throated Christmas Day declaration that Ryan mostly agrees with. Between all of that: a deep dive into which schedule release videos worked (the Simpsons one, the Chiefs infomercial) and which ones were embarrassing (the Lions — your coach pinned a piece of paper to a board and left), a reminder that OTAs start next week, and a closing note on fan expectations: good teams lose games, so let's try to appreciate the good ones when they come.

South Park Season 29 finally has a premiere date, but the return comes with a familiar frustration: another short, every-other-week season. In this quick Geek Freaks update, Frank reacts to the September 16, 2026 return date and shares why the six-episode format still feels disappointing for longtime fans of adult animation.The conversation also zooms out to the current state of adult animation, from Family Guy airing two episodes a week to Bob's Burgers being pushed to midseason.

BEST OF: After the failed assassination attempt of a former President, it seems like every single group completely lost their mind and connection to reality. Some even suggest that the inch separating him from death actually changed or split our timeline. This brings us to the fascinating works of Ingersoll Lockwood, a 19th-century author who wrote about a character named Baron Troomp. This Barron (like Baron) had a mentor named Don, a strange connection to Russia, german ancestory, a Troomp Castle or Tower, and in the final novel a candidate is unexpectedly elected to President causing New York to explode into riots with a leftist mob marching on 5th Avenue where Trump Tower is today. These motifs have people wondering if Trump, or maybe Lockwood, is a time traveler, especially since Trump's uncle handled the papers of Nikola Tesla who also lived in New York at the same time as Lockwood. Considering the seeming predictions of the Simpsons and Back to the Future II, not to mention a Marge Simpson coffin recently found dating to 3,000 years ago in Egypt, the story seems to get every stranger. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Bart realises he can get what he wants by turning Marge and Homer against each other, that is until they realise that their marriage is more important than caring about parenting. Marge and Homer rediscovering their love for each other was a fun story that many parenting couples will relate to, which along with the addition of a new location being the abandoned Springfield Subway, makes for an enjoyable episode overall.We also discuss peeing in the shower, last-minute assignments, the best way to do the dishes and more.Support the show on Patreon at patreon.com/fourfingerdiscountListen on Spotify - spoti.fi/4fDcSY0Listen on Apple Podcasts - apple.co/4dgpW3ZCHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Goin' Down To South Park - spreaker.com/show/goin-down-to-south-parkThe Movie Guide with Maltin & Davis - themovieguidepodcast.comThe One About Friends - spreaker.com/show/the-one-about-friends-podcastTalking Seinfeld - spreaker.com/show/talking-seinfeldSpeaKing Of The Hill - spreaker.com/show/speaking-of-the-hill-a-king-of-the-hill-The Office Talk - spreaker.com/show/the-office-talk-podcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/four-finger-discount-simpsons-podcast--5828977/support.
