It's our 100th episode of the show, we've got on some big suits, we're flopping around on the ground, and we're screaming nonsense about James Brown. We talk about Jonathan Demme's documentary debut (sort of his first film, if you think about it) STOP MAKING SENSE, the live performance film from Talking Heads. We draw some oblique strategy cards, get into the band's history, Chris Frantz' bizarre book, David Byrne's good book, RISD kids, boomers playing on easy mode, Brian Eno, Lou Reed eating ice cream with a heroin spoon, John Cale, The Modern Lovers, Demme at the edge with Swing Shift, Joe Viola's return, Jordan Cronenweth also returning, Hal Ashby's insane editing rig. Then we close out with a little listening party, chatting about one of the best concert films ever. Thanks everyone for listening to us for 100 eps, and 2 years!!

Well, isn't that something...here we promised a 100th episode celebration on STOP MAKING SENSE, and we come out with an entirely different episode?? Well, we ended up having to cover this one FIRST - so the 100th episode is on hold for now, we're going George Lucas style and doing the episodes out of order. It's SWING SHIFT. A film that has not one, not two, but THREE different cuts that you can watch (linked below). Produced at the exact same time as that Talking Heads one, it technically came out first and went through one hell of a production — Jonathan Demme gets shut out by Goldie Hawn and Warner Bros, Robert Towne comes in and starts messing with the script, editors quit, Elaine May tries to save it, a power couple blossoms. Join us this week for ALTMANIA as we talk about Jonathan Demme's loving ode to his grandmother, that got trampled on in post-production.

Is your kid's batting average telling the truth—or just messing with your head? In this episode of the Swing Smarter Hitting Training Podcast, I break down why batting average is one of the most misleading stats in youth baseball and softball… and what to track instead if you actually want to see progress. As a former Division I Fresno State ballplayer, author of the Amazon bestseller The Catapult Loading System, and founder of HittingPerformanceLab.com, I've seen too many hitters judged on the wrong numbers. Today, we're flipping the script and focusing on quality contact, smart pitch selection, and competitive at-bats—the metrics that truly measure growth. You'll discover: The hidden flaws of batting average and how it can hurt a young hitter's development. Three powerful alternative metrics that give a complete picture of progress without expensive tech. The two-zone tee game drill to instantly improve pitch recognition and decision-making. How to protect your hitter's confidence while building timing, approach, and consistency. A real-life success story showing how a “low average” hitter was actually making huge strides at the plate. Whether you're a coach, parent, or player, this episode gives you a science-backed framework to track what really matters—so you can stop stressing over numbers that don't tell the whole story and start seeing results that last. If you're ready to move beyond outdated stats and build a better hitter, check out my Swing Shift program—a daily, bite-sized video series packed with drills and clear cues you can use immediately.

Is your young athlete flinching, freezing, or backing out of the batter's box? You're not alone—and this episode is here to help. In today's episode of the Swing Smarter Hitting Training Podcast, Joey Myers dives headfirst into one of the most common (and least understood) roadblocks in youth baseball and softball: the fear of getting hit by a pitch. And this isn't just a “toughen up” pep talk. Instead, Joey blends sports psychology, biomechanics, and real-world drills to help parents and coaches support young hitters through fear—with clarity, compassion, and science-backed strategy. Whether your kid dominates in practice but disappears on game day, or you're just tired of watching talent get hijacked by fear, this is the episode you need.

Matt Cook and Buttsy navigate a lively episode, beginning with a discussion on a viral Canadian golf course brawl and the appeal of Irish golf courses.

The Open Championship at Royal Portrush is previewed, with a debate on LIV golfers' participation. Tips for desert golf are shared alongside a Phil Mickelson anecdote. The episode wraps up with mental coaching insights, Swing Shift indoor golf reflections, and social media highlights, before concluding with sponsor acknowledgments and weekend plans.

I worked a different shift last week and LOVED IT. I read a lot, I watched some TV and read some books that I recap during this episode. Plus, Golden Sky -- my honest opinion and I have some reality TV tea that directly involves someone I know.
