In this solo Thanksgiving episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank breaks down The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, the Coen Brothers' Netflix Western anthology that has quietly become one of his holiday staples. Story by story, he digs into how each vignette wrestles with death, chance, and human nature, from Tim Blake Nelson's singing gunslinger to Tom Waits' stubborn prospector and that iconic "First time?" hanging meme. Along the way, Frank talks about why the film feels so cozy despite its bleak themes, how the Coens use digital cinematography to shape tone, and what these stories say about nihilism, love, and our place in nature. He also shares a life update about Thomas, explains why Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving episodes are next on the docket, and invites listeners into a holiday mood filled with gratitude, movies, and a little existential dread. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs - … Timestamps And Topics 00:00 – Thanksgiving vibes and a Western anthology about death Setting the stage for a cozy Thanksgiving viewing tradition with The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, its Old West setting, and its obsession with mortality. 00:30 – Solo episode, schedule shuffle, and Thomas' big life update Why this is a solo show, Jonathan stepping in for a bit, and celebrating the arrival of "little Thomas" as a new geek in the world. 01:48 – Story 1: Buster Scruggs and our love of violent antiheroes Tim Blake Nelson's singing cowboy, the bright musical tone hiding casual brutality, and how the film forces us to realize we have been rooting for a monster. 03:49 – Myth-making, digital cameras, and the Coens revisiting a 20-year-old story How the segment plays like a live action cartoon, the use of bright digital cinematography, and what it means to film a story they wrote when they were young and fearless. 07:17 – Story 2: Near Algodones and the "First time?" meme James Franco's unlucky outlaw, Stephen Root in full chaos mode, armored pots and pans, botched hangings, and how that viral "First time?" moment taps into nihilism. 12:11 – Chaos, chance, and the pretty girl in the blue dress Reading the ending as both "enjoy the moment" and "life has no grand design," where you might meet someone perfect at the exact moment you cannot do anything about it. 13:24 – Story 3: Meal Ticket and brutal exploitation Harry Melling's limbless orator, Liam Neeson as a cold manager, freak show roots, the math-doing chicken, and the quiet horror of being treated as a "meal ticket." 17:57 – The cliff, the stone, and the unseen choice Why the rock in the river says everything without dialogue, and how the story captures helplessness when your fate is decided by someone else's bottom line. 19:24 – Story 4: All Gold Canyon, Tom Waits, and living with nature Tom Waits' prospector, "Mother Mercury," working with the land instead of stripping it, Mr. Pocket, and a rare Coen story where the character actually survives. 21:35 – Eggs, owls, and taking only what you need Reading the owl nest scene as a lesson in balance: taking one egg instead of all, and how the valley reclaims itself when humanity eventually moves on. 26:10 – Story 5: The Girl Who Got Rattled and the unfairness of the frontier Alice's journey on the wagon train, dependence on men in the Old West, Billy Knapp's gentle cowboy charm, Mr. Arthur's grit, and a fragile romance on the trail. 29:15 – President Pierce, the war party, and a tragic misread The dog as foreshadowing, the tense ambush, Arthur's desperate instructions, and Alice following her assignment a moment too soon. 32:33 – Story 6: The Mortal Remains and a stagecoach to the afterlife Five strangers in a stagecoach, bounty hunters as philosophical guides, competing views of humanity, and the slow realization that everyone on board is already dead. 35:05 – Looking into their eyes as they "try to make sense of it" The slider's chilling explanation of his job and how it mirrors us watching story after story, trying to understand death and never quite managing it. 37:42 – Why Buster Scruggs might be the ultimate Coen Brothers sampler Connections to Raising Arizona, Fargo, and Hudsucker Proxy, experimenting with digital, and why Frank considers this film a masterclass in filmmaking. 38:57 – Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving tournament and holiday plans Kicking off the Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving episode bracket on social media and inviting listeners to vote and share their favorites. 39:37 – Challenge Accepted contact info and gratitude for listeners How to email the show, where to find Challenge Accepted online, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone spending their Thanksgiving season with the podcast. Key Takeaways The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is a surprisingly cozy Thanksgiving watch that pairs warm, nostalgic vibes with stark meditations on death and human nature. The opening Buster Scruggs segment lures you in with music and comedy, then forces you to confront how easily we celebrate violent "heroes" until the cost is made personal. Near Algodones turns a simple bank robbery into a darkly funny loop of bad luck and hanging attempts, with the "First time?" moment becoming a perfect meme for quiet resignation. Meal Ticket is one of the bleakest Coen stories, laying bare how talent and passion can be discarded the second a more profitable novelty appears. All Gold Canyon offers a rare bit of hope, showing a prospector who survives and a valley that proves nature will outlast any one human. The Girl Who Got Rattled underlines how dangerous and unfair the frontier was for women, building a gentle love story only to let chaos tear it apart. The Mortal Remains recontextualizes the entire film, framing the bounty hunters as observers of human confusion about death and the afterlife, much like the audience. Altogether, the anthology works as a meditation on luck, mortality, and acceptance, urging us to live, observe, and appreciate moments even when the ending is inevitable. Memorable Quotes "We are rooting for him as well. He tortures this man before finally killing him, but again, we are rooting for him. Then the Man in Black arrives." "You meet the girl that likes you back when there is nothing you can do about it, and life is that way. It is chaotic and it is fruitless sometimes." "No matter how hard you try, sometimes life will just give you nothing, and an outside source may make that decision for you." "We take what we need, not necessarily what we want, and nature can continue growing as those birds will now hatch." "You just got to roll those dice. You just got to play the cards you get and move forward."

"Entrepreneurship is the craziest, scariest roller coaster ever." What happens when selling RVs leads to buying dental scrap, melting it down for precious metals, and then launching a startup with a mission to bless lives? In this episode, I talk with Brandon Sherwood about entrepreneurship, family, and why it's just not that serious. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. In This Episode In this episode, Michael Dargie chats with Brandon Sherwood, an entrepreneur from Heber City, Utah, whose path has been anything but ordinary. Brandon runs a business that buys dental scrap—old crowns and bridges—and refines them into precious metals like gold and palladium. It's a niche market with a 10-to-15 year runway, but for Brandon, the real story is how it led him to launch Gladly Network, a startup built on a mission statement as simple as it is powerful: bless lives . Gladly is designed to connect small, impact-driven businesses with people in meaningful ways, starting with dental offices as a kind of employee perk system. For Brandon, it's about more than business—it's about making sure his company continues to add value long after the dental scrap dries up. He explains the challenges and joys of building something new, calling entrepreneurship "the craziest, scariest roller coaster ever" . The conversation stretches back to Brandon's roots: growing up in Arkansas, working in his dad's RV dealership, and discovering that while cubicle life wasn't for him, sales and relationships were. He tells the story of how a cousin pulled him into the strange world of dental scrap on his day off from selling RVs—and how eight months later, he made the leap into a whole new career . Beyond work, Brandon opens up about raising four teenage boys, how experiences like concerts, sports, and camping trips matter more than things, and why his favourite recharge involves disappearing into the Utah mountains to sit under an aspen tree and remember that life's problems aren't that serious . From street tacos in Cozumel to family Halloween costumes, Brandon's story is one of humour, humility, and hope. His advice to rebels in waiting: you've got to love it, believe in it, and remember that failure is just part of the process—so keep throwing the ball in the right direction. Quoteable Quotes "It's just not that serious. Take a breath. Everything's going to be okay." — Brandon Sherwood "Entrepreneurship is the craziest, scariest roller coaster ever." — Brandon Sherwood "You've got to love it and believe in it—otherwise it's not worth doing." — Brandon Sherwood "Mistakes are only mistakes if you don't learn from them." — Brandon Sherwood "Experiences are the most important part of this whole thing." — Michael Dargie Episode Highlights The Dental Scrap Business | Turning crowns and bridges into precious metals. The Gladly Mission | Building a company around blessing lives. The Startup Roller Coaster | Why entrepreneurship is equal parts scary and exciting. From RVs to Teeth | How a day off changed his career. Family First | Raising four teenage boys and finding joy in their passions. Sports & Memories | Why experiences last longer than presents. Nature Therapy | Grounding himself under an aspen tree in Utah. Street Tacos | Why he'll walk miles for the perfect taco. Fluent in Spanish | How it came in handy during a car sale. Bucket List Dreams | Attending major sporting events and seeing Tom Waits live. Advice to Rebels | Love it, believe in it, and don't take life too seriously.

In this episode, we dive into the slightly baffling and often hilarious world of musicians turning up in films that have absolutely nothing to do with their own music. Some do it well. Some… should've just stayed on stage. From Joe Strummer's pigeon-themed songwriting to Damon Albarn's dodgy gangster role, we shine a flashlight on cinema's most unexpected rock star cameos. Expect righteous rambling, questionable facts, and a whole lot of chaos as Andrew and Dr. Sam chew over: Flea appearing in Back to the Future II as a race-happy chancer Joe Strummer pretending a traffic cone is a megaphone David Bowie's aggressively tight trousers in Labyrinth Placebo showing up in Velvet Goldmine dressed like sexy peacocks Tom Waits being better at acting than most actual actors Tim Armstrong from Rancid randomly playing a tramp in The X-Files And that time a song was written just to impress a member of Bananarama Also in this episode: We slag off Spotify for kicking us off their platform, complain about camping at festivals (again), and attempt to remember what the word "railway" sounds like without sounding like we've joined the Bullingdon Club. This one's for the cinephile who loves music, or the punk who accidentally sat through Straight to Hell thinking it was a Clash documentary.

It's that time of year where we try and delve into the strange and scary for our Halloween episode and this time, we've hit upon altered states (not the Ken Russell film) where our heroes undergo a strange transformation, in TOS ‘Wolf in the Fold,' Bones' obsession with getting Scotty laid ends in a lot of mysterious stabbings that date back to Victorian London while in Voyager's ‘Darkling,' the Doctor's attempt to improve himself by adding bits of other people into him starts making him very large in the tooth and a little too psychosexual towards Kes while in DS9's ‘Empok Nor,' O'Brien, Nog, Garak and a collection of clearly important side characters go to a deserted Cardassian Space Station to steal some wiring ends with psychotropic drug-induced violence. Typical. Happy Halloween!Episodes Discussed: A Wolf In the Fold (13:19) Darkling (42:06) Empok Nor (01:11:42)Talking Points Include: The European cut of Kubrick's ‘The Shining,' Horror Movies, We HATE Pan and Scan, Weird UK Film edits, Bones clearly wanting to get laid, my God, they do a seance, Robert Bloch and Harlan Ellison's twin Ripper stories in ‘Dangerous Visions,' censorship and no Kirk shirt rip for drugs this time, Jack the Ripper in other SF franchises, no walk of shame for Kes, Picardo's make-up leads to a lesson about old special effects, the Civilization Gandhi glitch, does Kes actually grown over her four years, CSI Tuvok, Jeremy Renner-gy, when romantic comedies have to make the rival partner an utter jerk, Robert Picardo with hair is amazing, MMMbop, Tom Waits covering Disney, ‘Cardies' does not work as a derogatory slur, what Brighton sounds like, Garak Bashir and O'Brian probably don't hang out at the same time, the original plan with Worf vs. Garak would not have been as fun, Nog trying too hard, ‘Bolian Dies First,' there's probably a meeting about Garak being a spy.

Her book chronicles the confluence of evangelical, Pentecostal, and charismatic networks through the lens of Contemporary Christian Music, or CCM. The book indexes American evangelicalism's political and social aspirations as seen through its cultural intermediaries: the youth group leaders, non-profit groups, industry executives, and parents who contributed to what was morally permissible and economically profitable in CCM.  Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

Void of clothing, this hybrid spawn were braying, bellowing, and writhing about a monstrous ring-shaped bonfire; in the centre of which, revealed by occasional rifts in the curtain of flame, stood a great granite monolith some eight feet in height; on top of which, incongruous in its diminutiveness, rested the noxious carven statuette."

John C. Reilly joins to discuss Mr. Romantic, his theatrical tribute to the Great American Songbook that treats Irving Berlin and Tom Waits as equals in the canon of timeless American song. Reilly recorded live in one room with his band using vintage ribbon microphones, embracing the squeaks and imperfections while layering in cinematic sound effects—crickets outside a lover's window, a collect call from prison—to transform each standard into an immersive scene. But what makes a song from the 1920s feel eternal? Music data scientist Chris Della Riva, author of the forthcoming Uncharted Territory and the newsletter Can't Get Much Higher, breaks down how composers like the Gershwins wrote for amateur musicians playing sheet music at home, creating universal lyrics and AABA structures where the hook comes first. That accessibility is precisely what draws Reilly to this repertoire. He sees himself in the lineage of interpreters like Sinatra, not selling his own story but passing along music that already belongs to all of us, like holding up a seashell and saying, "Isn't this one beautiful?"

This week, we tackle a track that could easily appear on a Tom Waits record, most notably Real Gone, which Les Claypool actually guested on. There's something about the percussive backbeat and dirty upright that screams Waits, but Les puts his own spin on it with tripped-out high register upright and clean vocals. Josh and Frankie agree that this is one of the more memorable tracks from the record so far, and the lyrical story, while a variation on the standard Claypool lyrical themes, are engaging and delightful because of how the story is told. Get involvedInstagramFacebookEmailBurn your money

Our second installment peeked into the Tom Waits discography. We did a Beck episode, and a Radiohead episode, and now...it's Kay Gee & the Elle Double-you, baby!How does one attempt to describe King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard? Well...they're an Australian rock band that has broken the mold of prolific studio recordings. In short, they formed in 2010, and have dropped 30 records in that span, and no, there are no typos in this sentence.Thirty records!Beyond that, you just have to see for yourself. They can get heavy.

Damon is a senior lecturer in political science at the University of Pennsylvania, and publishes a Substack newsletter titled “Notes from the Middleground.” Follow him at @DamonLinker on Twitter.Damon's Music Pick: Tom WaitsWe sail tonight for Singapore and we're all as mad as hatters here. Yes, Political Beats finishes its two-part celebration of the career of Tom Waits, rejoined by doughty boatswain Damon Linker as we pilot our way to unknown musical seas. Tom Waits had a fine career up through the year 1982, when he finished work on the soundtrack for Francis Ford Coppola's One from the Heart. But we're talking about the man primarily because of what happened afterwards, when he became more than just a down-and-out jazz pianist with the voice of a Babadook. Waits met script supervisor Kathleen Brennan on the set of the film and fell in love, marrying a year later. (They remain married to this day.) Proving herself the anti-Yoko Ono, Brennan then alchemically helped to raise Waits's music to an entirely new level of excitement and experimentation. His lyrics ideas become weirder, and more vivid. His ballads become infinitely more heartfelt (most of them are secretly addressed to Brennan). And his arrangements become a world of their own: Tom Waits begins, in 1983, to create glorious junk sculptures out of sound, using uncharacteristic (often minimalistic) instrumentation to create music that nobody has heard before.Through such landmarks of the 1980s and 1990s as Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs, Bone Machine, and The Mule Variations, Tom Waits transcended his balladeering origin -- without ever leaving it entirely behind -- and created a body of work famous for its eccentric, compelling, and deeply influential series. Once you get past the fact that he has a voice like the sawblades of a lumber mill, entire worlds will open up to you. Click play and clap hands! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Steve Avo Lindsey in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://linktr.ee/steveavolindsey A nervous suitor, a guitarist at the end of his Strat and his tether, wistful ex-partners on a work trip to Wales. Art school Futurists and singalongs in Cooper's Bar, Denmark Street and suburbia's (two) ups and downs – and earbudded Londoners on the Tube, sailing away on their own private playlists. “In my head,” confides STEVE ‘AVO' LINDSEY, making his solo long-playing debut just five decades into his music career, “this sounds like a Nick Lowe album.”   But given that PING is the work of the Wirral-born bassist of DEAF SCHOOL and frontman of new wave chart act THE PLANETS who would later become a music exec known for his ears and acumen, it's hardly surprising that these twelve tracks offer more than just fond footnotes to Lowe.   Factor in Lindsey's love of Donald Fagen and Jimmy Webb, Arctic Monkeys and Tom Waits, Todd Rundgren and Nashville-style storytelling, and his lo-fi, groove-driven takes on Motown, and you'll have an idea of what to expect from this joyful, playful, gorgeously varied sheaf of love letters to music and Merseyside, sweaters and Swordfishtrombones.   Listen to tracks like the finger-clicking soul of ‘Beautiful 45' and the bottoms-up vaudeville of ‘Cheers My Dears', the rockaway baroque pop of ‘Royal Iris' and the sultry Latinisms of ‘To Know You Better', and you'll also hear warm and winning musical contributions from family and friends: Lindsey's daughter Uainín Lindsey on backing vocals; the late Tony ‘Wims' Wimshurst, ex-Planets and Nasty Pop, on lead guitar; and drummer Josh McCartney, the nephew of a local lad named Paul.   But first, some back story. When Deaf School invented itself in 1974 at Liverpool College of Art, Lindsey, one of two Steves in the band, modestly opted for the moniker Mr Average. Deaf School would become (nearly) famous for its extravagant Sparks-via-Kurt Weill pop and its distinctly un-average cast of sirens, showmen, keyboard philosophers and future superstar producers.

Send Catherine a text Message"We are all taking everything that we've learned from the past, and we're reformulating what we want to do with that and how we want to live. And so, one of the ideas that's embedded in that, for me, is that when you're in this period of history, like we are now, with AI and with the digitization of everything and with the resurgence of a fascist movement, everything is up for grabs. You know, anything can happen, and that's the whole point really, that we have agency in this moment to affect what direction things are going to go in, as bricoleurs." --- Rags RosenbergA special interview episode with poet and performing songwriter Rags Rosenberg. Rags writes what he calls mythopoetic folk rock in the tradition of songwriter poets he admires: Leonard Cohen, Bob, Dylan, and Tom Waits. His latest album Song of the Bricoleur speaks about myth and our ongoing myth-making. We talk about artistic identity and guiding images, the role of the artist in dark times, and "making it up as we go."In times of profound cultural change, we're all bricoleurs. Support the showEmail Catherine at drcsvehla@mythicmojo.comPost a positive review on apple podcasts!

Yes, its time to begin a journey into the heart of Saturday night, as we explore the career of Tom Waits, one of the modern musical era's most notably stubborn, and brilliant, eccentrics. It may be difficult to explain the charms of a wrecked-voiced jazz pianist sketching portraits of the dissolute Los Angeles nightlife of the mid-1970s, but during this first part of Waits's career -- when he climbed out of the Laurel Canyon rock scene to carve his own unique furrow as an affected beat-poet drunkard -- the man's albums speak for themselves.During the second half of this two-part Political Beats retrospective, the gang will explore the fearless (and endlessly influential) art-rock musical turn Waits took during the 1980s. And there is true continuity between both phases -- at the end of the day, Tom Waits has never forgotten how to write a beautiful, memorable piano melody. But for now, settle in for a trip as far away from “rock and roll,” in some ways as Political Beats has ever traveled outside of Willie Nelson. Prepare to settle in with a drink and a smoke in a jazz lounge at 1:00 a.m. The night is only just getting started.
