Gutey talks to the media at the scouting combine, says that Bisaccia 'stepping down' was a surprise. Packers get their report card from the players and it isn't great, plus the Packers are issuing warnings to their season ticket holders to not sell their tickets on the secondary market again. Bucks keep winning so now the tank feels like it's off? Badgers have their worst conference loss of the year at Oregon, and the Brewers start to get it together at Spring Training.

This week on Strange Brew, Rob and Drew crack open the cosmos and pour into the weird world of aliens. They break down the bizarre Lead Masks case, unpack the mystery of the Betz Family sphere, wade into sea monster lore, and debate why alien abductions always seem to involve the same unsettling themes.

Phil is drinking green tea (!) but also mentions comparing Even Williams BiB and Wild Turkey 101. John is drinking Oban Little Bay scotch.

The guitar player who helped define pub rock in the 1970s is still making records. Brinsley Schwarz’s latest album, Shouting at the Moon, asks the same question that runs through much of his recent work: why can’t we get it together before it’s too late? The podcast then moves back to when his eponymous band became accidental pioneers of a movement they never quite intended to lead. There’s the infamous 1970 trip to New York’s Fillmore East that went spectacularly wrong, the moment Van Morrison left him “completely dumbstruck”, and the five years that followed when the band decided to simply get good. Between stories about Dave Edmunds’ backhanded compliments and 45-minute versions of ‘Niki Hoeky’, Schwarz reveals a musician who found his sound early and never saw much reason to abandon it. He remembers Bob Andrews with genuine affection and admits he didn’t write much during the Brinsleys because Nick Lowe was better at it.

Gregory welcomes back the developers of Strange Brew, a newly-released-on-Steam video game in which a man dressed like a duck must deftly escape over-caffeinated zombies.

The band Genesis is a lot of things to a lot of people. For most, the name evokes memories of the popular three-piece lineup, featuring Phil Collins on lead vocals, who peppered radio with numerous Top 40 hits and MTV with music videos like “Abacab,” “That's All,” and “Land of Confusion.” For others, they're the pinnacle of 1970s progressive rock, led by charismatic lead singer Peter Gabriel, who left the band in 1975 and refashioned himself into a pop hit machine equal to his old band, leaving his fingerprint on pop culture with hits like “Solsbury Hill,” “Shock the Monkey,” and “Sledgehammer.” What many casual listeners may not know is that the band came together while the Beatles were still in mop tops and issued their debut single in the shadow of “The Magical Mystery Tour.” In his latest article for the Strange Brew, author Scott G. Shea takes a look at the genesis of Genesis. It's Part 1 of 2.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Celluloid Heroes: Episode 14Film: Ghostbusters (1984)Police Academy! Strange Brew! Gremlins! And in the summer of 1984 we got an answer to the question: Who ya gonna call? Well, at the start of the now legendary summer of 1984 the answer to that question was anything but “Ghostbusters”. After that summer though there was only one team of paranormal investigators and eliminators to call. It's the opening weekend of Ivan Reitman's Ghostbusters; a movie that could only have succeeded due to the year it was released, and we take a deep dive into that classic film, and delve into the friendships we lose along the long and occasionally lonely road of growing up.Follow Celluloid Heroes on INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/TheCelluloidHeroesPodFollow Brad Abraham at www.bradabraham.comShare your thoughts with us!

More curling controversy! Badger basketball rolls over #10 Michigan State, should be in the Top 25 today. Green Bay coach Doug Gottlieb had an ALL TIME coach meltdown postgame of his team's loss to UWM on Sunday. NBA All Star format is actually...pretty good! Bucks have off until Friday. And the Brewers make a move for infield depth, signing Luis Rengifo to a 1 year deal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Across Big Big Train's shifting line-ups, Greg Spawton's songs connect the earliest records to their latest album, Woodcut.

Quick mixed doubles curling Olympic recap! Brewers report to Spring Training, they avoid an arbitration case with William Contreras, signing him to a two year deal. Are the Bucks back?? Ousmane Dieng and Cam Thomas are leading the way, all of a sudden we might not be tanking anymore? Badger basketball gets a MASSIVE road win at Illinois, now another huge matchup with Michigan State tonight. And a Packer hypothetical, did the franchise make a mistake in going with Gutey when John Schneider and Eliot Wolf were both in the building. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nineteen Eighty-Three was a great year for cinema. Scarface. The Big Chill. The Outsiders. Risky Business. The Right Stuff. Videodrome. Return of the Jedi. And to represent the year he was born, Lobster picked… this movie. Based on their breakout characters from the sketch comedy show SCTV, Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis star as Canadian brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie in this take (off, eh?) on Hamlet. Something is rotten in Ontario at the Elsinore Brewery, and it isn't just about live mice in the bottles - there's also the nefarious plans of Max Von Sydow's Brewmeister Smith. Bob and Doug try to get to the bottom of the issue, and to the bottoms of many, many bottles of beer in this cult classic, which The Globe and Mail named as one of the best Canadian comedy films ever made.

Brewers trade Caleb Durbin to Boston! Monasterio too, three players come back. It's been a weird offseason with Peralta, Collins, and now Durbin all getting dealt. Super Bowl 60 recap, boring game dominated by Seattle's defense. USA Today released their Ad-Meter winner for best commercial, halftime shows had people divided on social media. Bucks have won 3-in-a-row for the first time this season, sign Cam Thomas for the remainder of the year. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Giannis is still a Buck! Shams was wrong! Shams was wrong! Bucks hang on to Giannis, then Giannis hits up his Twitter and Instagram accounts with a few fun posts. Bucks do swing one smaller deal, back on the floor tonight going for 3 in a row. It's Super Bowl weekend, and that means one thing: PROP BETS! Pats/Seahawks on Sunday. Gutey finally talked to the media on Wednesday and said a whole lot of nothing for 40 minutes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bucks lose again, by the time we record Friday's podcast, the Giannis Era could be over. We hit on that and have our first ever MAIL BAG episode! 3 Bucks/Giannis questions, one Packer history question, and a listener with a retreating hairline seeks advice.

Ric Sanders, the fiddle player who has been an integral part of Fairport Convention for 40 years, takes us on a journey through his extraordinary musical life. From his early days discovering electric violin, to his simultaneous membership in both Soft Machine and the Albion Band, Sanders’ career reads like a who’s who of British jazz-fusion and folk-rock. Speaking with characteristic warmth, Sanders discusses the upcoming Fairport Spring 2026 UK Tour and provides insights into life on the road. Beyond Fairport, Sanders reveals the rich tapestry of collaborations that have shaped his musical journey: moments following Indian violin legend L. Shankar on stage, late-night jam sessions with Nigel Kennedy in Malvern pubs, and the influence of Ashley Hutchings. He also discusses his ongoing projects, from the Ric Sanders Trio to his recent work with Rosalie Cunningham. While Ric considers himself “a very lucky little fellow” it’s clear that luck has been matched by extraordinary talent and a passion for making music.

Shams is at it again with Giannis trade rumors, we break it all down less than a week from the trade deadline! Mike McCarthy has an emotional introductory press conference in Pittsburgh. Packers hire a few new assistant coaches for Jonathan Gannon's staff, Badger basketball notches a huge come from behind win, and the Badger football schedule is released. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Packers have their new Defensive Coordinator: Jonathan Gannon. After 3 years as the head coach in Arizona, he's headed to Green Bay. Thought there was some Jimmy Leonhard momentum building but that ended on Sunday morning. We recap Championship weekend in the NFL as well as Mike McCarthy back as a head coach in Pittsburgh (Aaron Rodgers coming back??). Giannis is hurt again with a calf injury, feels like it's time to embrace the tank this season and get a good draft pick. Badgers drop a game they should have won on Sunday, it ends a 5-game winning streak. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Steve Berlin revisits Los Angeles during its most volatile creative period, the late 1970s and early 1980s, when rent was $170 a month and sewage regularly seeped into the Cathay de Grande, the basement club where Top Jimmy and the Rhythm Pigs held their Monday night residency. Berlin recalls producing and playing on their newly reissued album Pigus Drinkus Maximus and joining Los Lobos after they’d spent years developing east of the LA River, completely off the west side scene’s radar. He also addresses the Graceland controversy head-on: Paul Simon’s failure to credit Los Lobos for writing the music to ‘All Around the World or The Myth of Fingerprints.’ Berlin also discusses his work with REM, producing Faith No More, and offers a moving tribute to Mavericks frontman Raul Malo.

Brewers trade Freddy Peralta after his best year in the majors. Sad, but expected. Peralta and Myers headed to New York, Brewers get back two high level (top 5) prospects from the Mets' system. The Packers had Al Harris in for an interview for the DC job this week, could Jimmy Leonhard be next?? Badger basketball is good, Bucks basketball is not, and it's feeling like this is going to be a lost season. What does that mean for Giannis. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Packers extend Matt LaFleur, no word on length or money but the deal is done, Gutey is likely next. The Chicago Bears have their hearts ripped out by the Rams in the Divisional round, something you absolutely HATE to see! Wild game between the Broncos and Bills ends with a Denver overtime win, but losing Bo Nix for the season. Bucks continue to flounder and need to fire Doc Rivers. Badger basketball may be trending up! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a strange brew of topics from Doppelgangers to monkeys on the loose to the actual movie Strange Brew. We also debut our ideas for Minnesota Sports TV series and a tease for Butthole Eyes III. 

Vox, lead vocalist of Chameleons, discusses the group’s successful reformation and their latest album Arctic Moon. The conversation explores the Chameleons’ origins in Manchester’s late 1970s post-punk scene, their breakthrough John Peel session, and challenging relationships with CBS Records and producer Steve Lillywhite. Vox reflects on their early years and the tensions that led to the band’s original dissolution. Throughout, the conversation highlights the Chameleons’ status as one of the most influential guitar bands of the 1980s, whose atmospheric sound has cemented their legacy as Manchester’s most underrated musical export.

Still no contract extension for Matt LaFleur, but it feels like that's still the direction the Packers will go. Flying under the radar as the coach that needs to be fired in the state: Doc Rivers. It's time. Pathetic effort at Fiserv against a shorthanded T-Wolves team last night. Badgers get a walkoff winner against Minnesota and we've got the Matt Lepay call!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yet another playoff collapse in Green Bay. Nothing new, I think I've become, in the words of Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb. Packers blow a 21-3 halftime lead in Chicago. Per reports this morning, it sounds like LaFleur is still going to get a contract extension. We break it all down and the NFL weekend in general. Bucks notch one of their wins of year on Friday in LA, then stub their toe in Denver against a Nuggets team down 4 starters. Badgers upset #2 Michigan on the road on Saturday.

PACKERS/BEARS Wild Card Weekend is here! We'll break it all down, plus read some Packer-related emails. Giannis makes his most definitive statement on his future with the Bucks in an interview with The Athletic. Brewers don't come to terms on an arb deal with William Contreras, Badger football is spending a TON of money, and we make picks for Wild Card weekend.

August football in January is no fun. No. Fun. Sir. Packers roll over in Minnesota in Week 18, but at least make it out of the game relatively injury free. Now it's on to Chicago for a rubber match with da Bears Wild Card Weekend. They get the 7pm kickoff on Saturday night. Badgers get their QB1 for next season in the portal over the weekend, Bucks post a few wins on Friday and Sunday night. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1968, a group of Luton apprentices started creating a rock opera. Chris Stokes and his band Genesis (not that Genesis) conceived a concept album with baroque piano arrangements and experimental passages, then packed it away and got on with their day jobs. For over 50 years, this album and other material spanning a decade, existed only on deteriorating tape and acetates. Chris recorded with various lineups from the mid-1960s including The Mantis Set, Genesis, and Sunday Painter, mostly at home on a Revox tape machine; self-financed, largely improvised, never properly released. Then Dimorphodons from Hand of Glory Records bought a battered Hohner keyboard on eBay for £10, heard a sample track, and discovered a treasure trove of lost British psychedelia. Chris and Dimorphodons share highlights from this incredible archive, with the bulk of these tracks heard in public for the first time.

Packers and Vikings basically have a preseason game for Week 18. BUT, a busy week with roster moves. Packers take a flier on former All-Pro corner, Trevon Diggs. Cut by Dallas earlier in the week and claimed by Green Bay two days later. Packers also sign quarterback Desmond Ridder to their practice squad, Jordan Love is out of the concussion protocol but Clayton Tune starts on Sunday. College Football Playoff final four is set, and the Bucks drop another disheartening game at home to the Wizards on New Year's Eve. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy (almost) New Year you hosers! This time out we honor two true Canadian icons -- Bob and Doug -- the McKenzie Brothers! OK, it's Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas from the classic SCTV late night show, but boy did their characters "take off" in the early 1980s. Originally devised as a bit to meet "Canadian content" requirements, The Great White North was nothing more than Bob and Doug sitting on a cheesy set, drinking Molson and smoking cigarettes, and riffing on all things Canadian. Moranis and Thomas originally viewed the bit as a protest of the Canadian content rules, but audiences went nuts for the duo and Bob and Doug in short order produced over 40 segments for SCTV as well as a feature movie (Strange Brew) and two comedy albums. Moranis and Thomas have reprised the roles on occasion, but not for a number of years. Maybe we could bribe them with a "jelly" for one more revival! As always, find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Bob and Doug At the height of Bob and Doug mania the boys appeared on David Letterman, first in character than as themselves in a fine interview. https://youtu.be/u3niShPaKFY?si=tfeDNcmpv6h69lBd Strange Brew has become a cult classic over the years with lots of Canadian in-jokes, none more prominent than their love of donuts. Try this trick the next time you need some info. https://youtu.be/tKFgfdtKdys?si=H4vxlj1yGaTENtxJ Bob and Doug returned for a Canadian tv special on the 24th anniversary of Strange Brew. Geddy Lee from Rush -- who sang with them on their 1981 hit single "Take Off" -- was there to pay respects. https://youtu.be/N5twcRZ5Bi8?si=FFPGI9ISE_Ds25B4&t=1809  

Malik Willis was fantastic but the Packer run defense couldn't stop a nose bleed on Saturday night. Shades of Joe Barry at Lambeau in a 41-24 loss to the Lamar Jackson-less Ravens. Now the Packers are locked into the #7 seed, and the Bears are division champs. Packers in Minnesota for the regular season finale with nothing on the line. Giannis returns from his calf injury and starts a little dust up at the end of a win against the Bulls on Saturday night, and College Football Playoffs resume on Wed/Thursday.

The great soul singer Sam Cooke was killed on December 11, 1964, and, surprisingly, his tragic early death never seems to be mentioned in the same breath as other early rock and roll luminaries who died young, like Buddy Holly, Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and many others. Perhaps it's because of the brutal and suspicious nature surrounding it. The smooth, joyful soul singer was gunned down in the office of a seedy Los Angeles motel after being robbed by an alleged prostitute. In his latest article for the Strange Brew, Scott G. Shea celebrates the life, music and legacy of Sam Cooke through six songs that tell his story.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

DEVASTATING DAY in Denver. Packers had a 23-14 lead and the ball in the 3rd quarter, then a turnover, then a Christian Watson injury, then a Micah Parson (probably) ACL injury, and a loss. About as bad as it could get. We'll break it down, and now a short week where the division is likely on the line in Chicago this weekend. Bucks get SMOKED by a bad Brooklyn team, not going to help the "Stay Giannis!" campaign. Brewers swing a trade sending Isaac Collins and Nick Mears to Kansas City.

SCTV legend Dave Thomas reflects on the bold choices that shaped his life and career, from growing up in Canada to navigating success and uncertainty in Hollywood. He discusses how Shakespeare and literature helped ground him early on, and the pivotal decision to leave a lucrative advertising career to pursue improvisational comedy at Second City. Thomas shares stories of becoming head writer on SCTV and collaborating with comedy icons such as Martin Short, Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, Harold Ramis, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, and Joe Flaherty. The conversation spans his career-defining work on SCTV, the creation of the McKenzie Brothers, Strange Brew, Mad Magazine, and later successes including Grace Under Fire. Thomas also explores his transition into animation, running his own studio, voice work across major animated series, and eventually shifting into dramatic television with shows like Bones and The Blacklist. He touches on international experiences, including time spent in Ukraine and Thailand, and reflects on lessons learned across decades in entertainment. Throughout the episode, Thomas emphasizes that success in Hollywood depends on having at least two of three essential elements: talent, drive, and luck—along with the courage to take risks and follow creative instincts.
