We're pulling back The Tonight Show curtain, not only to reveal Johnny Carson, but to explore the lore and the legend that were Johnny's Tonight Show reign.Joining us are Love Johnny Carson author and The Carson Podcast host, Mark Malkoff, along with Carson Tonight Show guest and Leno Tonight Show writer, Jimmy Brogan.Mark's new Carson book offers a decade-by-decade deep look at the King of Late Night. Through his multitude of podcast interviews with Carson insiders, Mark peels away the stony myth to reveal that the real Johnny was more like the brilliantly charming, funny man you saw on TV and less like the icy, ramrod figure, of legend, stealing himself from social intimacy. In actual fact, in order to get from points A to B, Johnny had to hold his gaze on the horizon and keep moving or he would attract a crowd. Mark and Jimmy share what made Johnny so important to them and to comedy itself. Jimmy recalls turning down his initial invitation to guest on the show because although his crowd work was extraordinary, you can't do that with a studio audience and he knew he wasn't ready.Fritz, a standup comedian who became an NBC weatherman worked upstairs from The Tonight Show. He was groomed by talent coordinator Jim McCawley to appear on Carson and then easily fill in when a guest fell out.Mark's deep research reveals a Johnny few have seen: the private man behind the poise. We learn about his secret yearning to be a singer. (he took three weeks of lessons to duet with Julio Iglesias as Willie Nelson ), his need for strong boundaries with fans, and his quiet interest in humanism and social justice. Mark also debunks myths about famous feuds with Wayne Newton and Joan Rivers, while Jimmy shares his own Joan Rivers talk show audition story and memories of the bumpy Carson into Leno transition.From Kermit the Frog guest-hosting The Tonight Show to Johnny's competitive streak, sensitivity and complex charm, this episode dives into the brilliance, insecurity, and humanity of a television legend. Plus, Mark tells us about his own outrageous social experiments, including overcoming his fear of flying by living on an airplane for 30 days, visiting every Starbucks in Manhattan in one day and collecting keys to cities from Mayors across America!In current media --Weezy: Netflix Documentary, The Perfect NeighborFritz: Apple TV+ documentary, Stiller and Meara: Nothing Is Lost Path Points of InterestLove Johnny Carson: One Obsessive Fan's Journey To Find The Genius Behind The Legend by Mark MalkoffMark MalkoffMark Malkoff on WikipediaThe Carson PodcastMark Malkoff on InstagramJimmy BroganJimmy Brogan on WikipediaJimmy Brogan on InstagramJimmy Brogan on Mark's PodcastThe Perfect NeighborStiller and Meara: Nothing Is Lost
Ken is back from wine country this week. He and Dave discuss changes coming to Glock, the national debt higher than Snoop Dog at a Willie Nelson concert, where the Acworth dentist was found, East Wing shenanigans, crooked gambling, the halted shooting at ATL, escaping hurricane season unscathed, the Public Service Commission race, and the Caribbean is getting spicy.
The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (Mass Moca) is starting a record label aimed at developing artists, focusing on creativity, and giving exposure to musicians who are creating under-appreciated art. The first record on this new label came out last Friday. The Kasawambwe Brothers of Malawi recorded this album with help from Mass Moca. I spoke to Harlan Steinberger who runs a studio in Los Angeles called Hen House Studio. He's worked with artists like Willie Nelson and Sunny War, and has been recording music for decades. I had the chance to speak with him about this exciting new project, and what's in store for the future of Mass Moca Records. I hope you dig it!
Forget the neat boxes and old assumptions—The Great Divide shows Willie Nelson coloring outside the lines with a full palette of collaborators, writers, and styles. We roll through all twelve tracks and talk honestly about what soars, what sags, and why this 2002 curveball still sparks debate. From the radio-ready snap of Maria (Shut Up and Kiss Me), penned by Rob Thomas, to the string-laced ache of Mendocino County Line with LeAnn Womack, the album keeps pivoting—sometimes smooth as velvet, sometimes rough with grit—and that friction is the point.We unpack how Kid Rock's gravel pushes against Willie's calm on Last Stand in Open Country, why Sheryl Crow's harmonies on Be There for You give the chorus its backbone, and how Bernie Taupin's storytelling muscle stitches American myth into modern production. The title track becomes our compass—starting small, swelling big, and braiding Western and Latin colors without losing Willie's porch-swing ease. And then there's the curve we didn't see coming: Just Dropped In, a psychedelic cover that crackles with personality and proves that interpretation can be its own brand of authorship.If you care about how legends evolve, collaborate, and curate, this listen is a master class in choices: arrangements that expand without suffocating, vocals that stay human inside glossy rooms, and a tracklist that risks inconsistency to chase moments of real spark. We share candid highlights, lowlights, and our final non-hit rankings so you can argue back with your own. Hit play, ride shotgun through the twists, and tell us where you land. If this breakdown moved you or made you rethink the record, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a friend who loves a good album debate.Send us a textSupport the show

Hello, one more ep for D'Angelo but as I was listening to this, I realized what a canon episode this is. Shoplifting from the airport, going to watch the State of the Union Address, plus a Big Bopper call. I also left all of Russell's original notes in the episode because they are brilliant. We are the world. We are children. We are the ones who make the best podcast about D'Angelo and the 183rd greatest album of all time, Brown Sugar, so you should start listening.1 Before we get to the music, we provide our rebuttal to the State of the Union with some discussion about the Wizard of Oz, the keys to good hospitality, and 44 days of amazing music in 1991.2 We're also your accountability buddy when it comes to airport etiquette when we chat about security checkpoint stops and normalizing kiosk shoplifting. Then at (55:00) this podcast takes a smooth turn when we discuss D'Angelo's 1995 debut studio album Brown Sugar. We discuss D'Angelo's double entendres, the Voodoo sound, and the best weed songs ever.3 Next week we just want to have fun when we become the best Cyndi Lauper podcast and cover her 1983 debut studio album, She's So Unusual. 1. The opening of this writeup was a play on words from the song We Are the World, which was covered in the 2024 Documentary, The Greatest Night in Pop. 2. If our discussion of the 7 Legendary Rock Albums that were released in 44 days gives you the perfect body feeling, then reading this article reference will put a little mustard on it. 3. If you think this video of Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson singing Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die deserves a two-star rating then you probably should've just left this podcast about 15 minutes earlier.

That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits
Nick takes a deep dive into one of the most important turning points in Saturday Night Live history — Season 12. After the chaotic collapse of Season 11, Lorne Michaels returned, cleaned house, and rebuilt the show from the ground up. The result was a brilliant reinvention that launched a new era of comedy greatness. This season introduced future legends like Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Jan Hooks, Kevin Nealon, Jon Lovitz, and Dennis Miller, along with instant classics such as The Church Lady, Tommy Flanagan, The Sweeney Sisters, and Mr. Subliminal. Nick revisits all 20 episodes, sharing behind-the-scenes stories, memorable sketches, and standout moments from hosts including Garry Shandling, Sam Kinison, Sigourney Weaver, John Lithgow, Willie Nelson, and Bill Murray. A true comeback season that restored SNL's legacy — funny, fearless, and unforgettable. [Ep 146]
This week we conclude our two-part feature “It Don't Mean a Thing...” with a focus on Western swing. Western swing was developed in the dance halls of Texas and in sharp contrast to old-time string bands, Western swing bands employed many more members, including horn sections and multiple fiddlers. These were needed to fill these massive halls with music for dancing. We'll hear classics from The Light Crust Doughboys, Milton Brown and his Musical Brownies and Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. We'll also hear new classics from Deborah Silver, Willie Nelson and Asleep at the Wheel. “Take Me Back to Tulsa” … this week on The Sing Out!

Sent us text! We would love to hear from you!The advent of modern technology allows the production of this podcast despite the fact that Commander Drew is at sea and transmitting from the far eastern side of the Atlantic Ocean, while Dr. Paul is firmly planted in North America.The famous country music star, Willie Nelson reminds us that you are most likely to have positive results if you have positive thoughts.The term cult of personality was started in two centuries ago. However, in the modern sense the term serves as a warning to those who may be overly attracted to certain political leaders on the basis of a carefully crafted image designed to generate unquestioning allegiance due to one's public persona. Correspondingly, there are five primary personality traits: Openness - Conscientiousness - Extraversion - Agreeableness - Neuroticism. Which one describes you?As an example of good news, consider that a revelation new therapy for breast cancer reduces the need for two surgeries down to a single procedure, that has better health outcomes and patient satisfaction. If you are ever going to take a cruise on the high seas, Commander Drew strongly recommends Virgin Voyages; it's his favorite cruise line. Meet a wingman who has opened up his home as well as his heart to foster children desperately in need of a home. It is his way of paying back those who helped him when he was in the same position decades ago as a small child.
In this episode of 'Perfectly Good Podcast,' hosts Jesse Jackson and Sylvan Groth discuss one of John Hiatt's evocative tracks, 'The Most Unoriginal Sin.' They dive into the lyrics' rich metaphors and religious imagery, thematic ties to temptation and infidelity, and the song's unique blend of poetry and melody. While exploring interpretations and various cover versions, especially praising Willie Nelson's rendition, they also reflect on John Hiatt's songwriting prowess. The episode highlights the universal themes of lost love, guilt, and the repetitive nature of human shortcomings, encapsulating the essence of Hiatt's musical and lyrical genius. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 01:35 Discussing John Hyatt's Music 04:17 Album Review: Beneath This Gruff Exterior 08:32 Willie Nelson's Cover of 'The Most Unoriginal Sin' 11:43 Analyzing the Lyrics 21:19 Exploring the Concept of Infidel's Grin 22:39 Analyzing the Chorus and Themes of Sin 23:44 Religious Imagery and Symbolism 24:59 Guilt, Forgiveness, and Jukebox Metaphors 26:47 The Nature of Sin and Human Patterns 29:46 Emotional Impact and Musicality 33:20 Rating the Song: A Critical Discussion 37:24 Connecting with the Audience Learn more about your ad choices.

We know that a consistent heart of gratitude keeps us in harmony in our relationship with God, but in a practical sense, how do we maintain it, and how can we be intentional? A first clue is the example of Paul. Philippians 4:12–13 says, “I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I've learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” Notice that the famous preacher trained his mind and heart to be always grateful. This meant a conscious, daily, hourly focus on the good things God has brought him. And sometimes we're down to basics on this: life, food to eat, clothes to wear, shelter. That's all many people have, and it's easy—living in the U.S. especially, to forget that our basic needs are met. But choosing gratitude is key. The actor Will Arnett does this. He says, “I'm happy because I'm grateful, and I choose to be grateful. That gratitude allows me to be happy.” Another way to maintain a grateful heart is being very mindful every day of what God has gifted us with. Music icon Willie Nelson understands the value of such an attitude. He says, “When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.” Take stock every day, and actually list the things you're grateful for. Soon enough, it'll be part of your daily routine. A third way to maintain a grateful heart is to choose to focus on the positive. There's enough junk in the world. What you choose to focus on will in large part define you. It's sort of like a natural law. If you do an act of kindness for someone, or sit for 20 minutes watching a gorgeous sunset, instead of scrolling through the news on your phone, you'll find that joy and a grateful heart become your reality. God loves you. Start your journey toward gratitude with that. Let's pray. Father God, no one can stop us from thanking you for your love and grace. That's our first step toward having a grateful heart. From breathing clean air to enjoying a holiday with family and friends. We commit ourselves to a life of gratitude. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.
This week, Donnie speaks with Ryan Posner, a Los Angeles-based bass player, side man and musical director, about balancing his home and professional life, how to define country music, why it is important to push art forward and how bass players make great dads. They dive deep into the value of his current project, the nearly weekly Y'all Star Revue, a showcase at the original Desert 5 Spot in Hollywood. This event highlights the best local and touring country music talent who are on the verge of breaking out. Show Notes1:50 -- Ryan's origin story: From a 16-year-old rocker to figuring out playing country music right before the pandemic. He tells Donnie that his first concert was Willie Nelson at age five and his second concert was Weird Al opening for the Monkees in the early 1980s -- which really summarized his musical existence. Until he watched Ken Burns' Country Music documentary.6:38 -- Bass players make great dads: Ryan has always been attracted, and it seems that the Country Music Dads are attracted to bass players. Perhaps the kind of person who likes to play bass is also the kind of person who wants to be a dad. 8:58 -- How do you truly balance the parenting? Being honest is a good start. 10:40 -- What is The Y'all Star Revue, and what is the impact of this program on country music?17:25 -- What is real country music? Ryan ends the debate of what country music is and what it is not. His platform is to share new music with new audiences. 20:19 -- Freedom from Choice: Ryan hopes that his new curated platform can help bring so many different kinds of music together to help develop a new experience outside of the over-saturation of the Los Angeles music scene. He prefers “freedom from choice” rather than “freedom of choice.” 22:19 -- More Debate on What Makes Real Country Music: But does this kind of platform push country music too far? Ryan says no. There is no line too far. Country music evolves just like every other kind of music, and the only person who can define “real” country music for that person is that person. 30:55 -- The Dad Life Sound Check: Ryan brings “Funny How Time Slips Away” by Willie Nelson, and Donnie talked about Waylon's “Songbird.”38:15 -- THE LIGHTNING ROUND, which gets completely derailed by the last question about the one concert you could attend at any time.

A guitar from his uncle's country band, open mics before he could legally walk into the bar, and a stubborn ear that learned by listening—Roman Alexander's road to Nashville wasn't polished, it was practiced. We sit down to unpack the exact moves that turned a Missouri kid into a touring artist and a credible songwriter: washing cars at an Audi dealership to meet gatekeepers, selling merch on a midnight bus to learn tour life, and sending a bold “manager” email that led to a hard no—then a full-circle label meeting years later.The conversation dives into the writing grind at 126, where two-a-day sessions forged his sound and revealed the collaborators who fit. Roman breaks down how “Party Mode” was born on a retreat deck and found its way to Dustin Lynch, why “Between You and Me” became an 11-month mainstay on Spotify's Hot Country and a launchpad for national touring, and how he thinks about choosing songs that are truly his. We talk Midwest Calling—the weather, the breakups, and the small-town weight that never leaves—and the stories behind “Way Over You,” “Mama Smoked Cigarettes,” and “Country Dreaming” with Old Dominion's Brad and Trevor and writer Matt Jenkins.There's heart and humor here: the viral video of his mom hearing “Mama Smoked Cigarettes” for the first time, the door-to-door sorority play that packed rooms on college runs, and the Maui BMI night where Willie Nelson calmed his shaking hands with a quiet nod beside Kris Kristofferson. Beyond the hype cycles and algorithms, Roman makes a case for touring as the anchor, for songs with staying power, and for learning the business with the same intent as the craft. If you're building an independent career, this is a blueprint you can use—and a reminder to enjoy the full-circle moments when they arrive.Enjoy the episode?

The West Texas Exiles are a Texas based band that are making incredible music. They have a new album out, and on today's episode we talked about all kinds of things. The influence of Texas musicians like Buddy Holly and Willie Nelson. How the stark landscape of the western desert impacts them as artists, and how the band has been playing festivals like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and the Luck Reunion. Colin Gilmore is the son of legendary Texas musician Jimmie Dale Gilmore and I feel like you can really hear that in the band. We had a fun conversation while the band was working in their studio, I hope you dig it!

The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
Nashville's songwriting community suffered a devastating loss with the passing of Brett James, a prolific songwriter who gave up medical school to pursue his passion for music. With 27 number one hits among his 500+ released songs, Brett's legacy includes classics like "Jesus Take the Wheel" by Carrie Underwood and "When the Sun Goes Down" by Kenny Chesney. His story reminds us how the unexpected paths we choose can lead to extraordinary impact.We dive into the ongoing story of Farm Aid, Willie Nelson's fundraiser supporting farming communities facing economic pressure. The recent Minneapolis concert featured legends like Neil Young, John Mellencamp, and Bob Dylan, continuing a tradition that has responded to agricultural crises since the 1980s. Similarly, Luke Bryan's Farm Tour celebrates a decade of bringing music to rural America while collecting food donations for those in need.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we explore artists who sound like others or from different eras. From Lainey Wilson echoing Miranda Lambert to Harry Connick Jr. channeling Frank Sinatra, these musical connections reveal how influence travels through generations of performers. Listeners share their own observations, creating a compelling tapestry of how country music continually evolves while honoring its roots.Current artist updates include Lainey Wilson canceling a show due to vocal issues, Brett Eldredge announcing his holiday Glow Live Tour, and Thomas Rhett expecting his fifth child. We also track both commercial and independent country charts, highlighting newcomers making waves alongside established stars.Whether you're a dedicated country fan or just curious about the genre's current landscape, our blend of news, artist spotlights, and chart updates offers something for everyone.

Ep 229 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into the headlines shaping agriculture, food safety, and pop culture — with their usual dose of fact-checking and fun. First up: The Apeel controversy explodes across social media with fearmongering videos, Bill Gates conspiracy theories, and actual lawsuits. The hosts break down the misinformation campaigns targeting the food coating company, from Michelle Pfeiffer's apology to why transparency in food labeling has become such a flashpoint. Then, the most unexpected crossover of 2025: Jelly Roll meets the Pope! The country star performed at the first Vatican City concert in 2,000 years, and the hosts can't get over this redemption story that has everyone talking about grace, second chances, and the power of music. Next, Farm Aid hits its 40th anniversary milestone. Willie Nelson's nonprofit has raised $85 million for family farmers over four decades, and this year's concert almost didn't happen due to labor strikes. Plus, they're pioneering local food at major events with their "Homegrown Concessions" model. And finally, natural fibers are making a comeback in sportswear! Venus Williams wore wool to the US Open, signaling a shift away from synthetic fabrics. The hosts dive into sustainability, microplastics in oceans, and why your grandma's scratchy sweater perception of wool needs an update. BUT WAIT — there's more! Stick around for Lainey Wilson's viral Family Feud moment that has the internet losing it over Britney Spears songs, plus updates on the hosts' "Discover on the Road" series featuring sheep trails in Montana and cotton farming adventures. What We Discovered This Week
This week, a special road trip episode featuring Walnut Valley original Pecan Grove campground jam band Old Sound recorded live at the 2024 Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. Also, a performance from renowned singer-songwriter and folk music legacy Nathan McEuen. The annual Walnut Valley Festival, now in it's 53rd season, is one of the oldest and most respected acoustic music festivals in the world. Held at the Winfield, Kansas fairgrounds, more than 30 musical acts will perform on four separate stages, presenting over 200 hours of live music. Also, there is a dedicated contest stage where contestants vie for national and international championships in Finger Style Guitar, Flat Pick Guitar, Bluegrass Banjo, Old Time Fiddle, Mandolin, Mountain Dulcimer, Hammered Dulcimer, and Autoharp. There is a juried arts and crafts fair, exhibits by renowned instrument makers and music shops, family activities, a bevy of food vendors, a farmer's market and even a pub! An unusual aspect of Walnut Valley is its campground tradition. Campsites are not reserved and campers line up to claim a choice campsite during the "Land Rush.” Walnut Valley Festival goers often bring their own musical instruments to participate in the sometimes all night campground jam sessions. Bands like Old Sound and Sally & The Hurts that began as "Jam Bands" in the campgrounds, have even been invited to perform at the festival. A trio of longtime friends and musical collaborators, Kansas City's Old Sound crafts an original brand of liquid folk music. The well-worn trio travels through song with evocative acoustic compositions, imagery-filled lyrics and beckoning three-part harmonies. The band holds deep roots running back to Winfield, KS where they grew up and cut their teeth in the picking circles and campground stages of the Walnut Valley Festival. Old Sound continues to evolve and bend the possibilities of modern acoustic music with rich, effects-driven live performances, while also creating a unique sound that could just as easily be heard around a campfire. - https://oldsoundmusic.com/ Nathan McEuen grew up surrounded by incredible music and talented musicians. By age five he started performing with his father, John McEuen (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band), Nathan soon became a natural showman. With over 40 years of touring, more than 3,000 shows, and appearances on American Idol, The Stagecoach Festival, the Grand Ole Opry, The Tonight Show, Music City Roots, and XM/Sirius Radio, his music has reached audiences around the world. Held in the highest esteem by his musical colleagues, Nathan has shared the stage with an impressive lineup of artists ranging from Bon Jovi to Willie Nelson. In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1984 archival recording of Ozark original Kenny Sims performing the traditional American Civil War song “Goober Peas,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins discusses the Ozark roots for one man's inspiration that would ultimately result in the founding of the Grand Old Opry.

Saturday is the big day the 40th Anniversary of Farm Aid featuring some of the biggest names in music history - Willie Nelson, Steve Earle, Kenny Chesney, John Mellencamp and even Bob Dylan will take the stage in an event put on for the betterment of farm and agriculture in Minnesota!
This Saturday, the 40th annual Farm Aid concert will take place at the Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. It will feature artists that kicked off the original Farm Aid concert back in 1985 including Willie Nelson, Neil Young, and John Mellencamp. The concert fundraiser was a response to an economic crisis farmers faced across the U.S. during that time. The agricultural financial struggle of that period hit Minnesota's workers hard. University of Minnesota applied economics professor Marc Bellemare joined MPR News host Nina Moini to explain the history of the farm crisis and how it's changed farming today.
Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger came out in 1975. It was a watershed album for him. He also made a movie by the same name and the set for that movie hosts his yearly music festival. The album is incredible and gave him a couple of hits including Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain. This week I do a deep dive into this album. I hope you dig it!
Laurie Anderson joins us live from NYC's Poster House Museum in conversation with Dr. Zia Mian (Princeton physicist & nuclear policy expert). We explore her iconic 1982 hit “O Superman” and its album Big Science—how it anticipated many of the tensions of the nuclear age and still resonates powerfully in today's disarmament debates. Together, they challenge the logic of deterrence, unpack how nuclear weapons work, and consider how networks—rather than traditional institutions—might better enact change. Also: the rifts within scientific communities, the role of “Big Science,” and more. Bonus content features producer and radio host Elia Einhorn joining to premiere Kronos Quartet's Nobel Prize Committee commissioned rendition of “A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall” featuring Laurie, Willie Nelson and a host of others.

No, you don't. Because you've been saying his name wrong all these years. It's not "den-ZEL" . . . It's "DEN-zuhl". You emphasis the first syllable, and kind of clip the second. It's really not your fault, though. It was actually DEN-zuhl's mother who started calling him den-ZEL. That's because he and his father were both named DEN-zuhl, and she got tired of both of them answering when she called that name. So she changed the pronunciation of her son's name. https://youtu.be/Kql0ltyREJ4· AND FINALLYThe complete celebrity cast of "Dancing with the Stars" Season 34 was announced yesterday on "Good Morning America".

Scot and Jeff discuss the first part of Tom Waits's career (1973-1982) with Damon Linker.Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are joined by guest Damon Linker. 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 WaitsThere's a world going on underground, and Political Beats is here to explore it, in all of its seedy, alcohol sodden, and extremely performative oddity. 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.

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, actor Lou Diamond Phillips stops by the studio to share stories from his life and career. Lou opens up about the origins of his name, the strange ways fans insist they've met him before, and his love of cooking for family and friends. He recalls making sandwiches his mom would make him as a kid, working at Whataburger and even preparing lunch for Willie Nelson, and the worst job he ever had. Lou also dives into Hollywood life, from his early days being cast in Hispanic roles despite not being Hispanic, to getting dragged 100 yards behind a horse on the set of Young Guns 2, and talks with Adam about how hard it is to make a good comedic film or TV show.Later, stand-up comedian Mike Vecchione and MMA personality Jason “Mayhem” Miller join Adam in the studio. They kick things off talking about the myth that white people don't want to work the typical manual labor jobs that immigrants take, and compare sports in high school back then to today, where schools make special accommodations for kids who aren't as athletic. Adam shares a brutal story about being rejected when he tried asking a girl out, while Mike and Mayhem weigh in on the challenges of growing up and competing in those environments. Adam also asks Mayhem for his take on the Raja Jackson situation.In the news, Mayhem joins Adam and Mike Vecchione to discuss the week's trending headlines. They cover Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement, joking about the couple as “your English teacher and your gym teacher getting married,” and react to Burning Man 2025's Orgy Dome being destroyed by fierce desert winds, with organizers vowing to rebuild.

Willie Nelson left Nashville and reinvented himself in Austin, Texas as the ultimate outsider. It was a metamorphosis from freak flag flier to mainstream mainstay that is rife with tales of drug smuggling, arson, and international run-ins with Johnny Law. Not to mention a lifelong association with grifters, con men, and thieves, and how that led not only to one of the most publicized busts of a superstar in the 20th century, but also to an extended family fueled by karma and loyalty.

Broke and depressed, Willie Nelson almost joined the 27 Club on a snowy Nashville street late one night – before he'd even sold a single song. He drank, smoked, and cheated his way through multiple marriages. He was nearly beaten to death by an angry husband in a parking lot. He wielded a shotgun and a rifle during a shootout on his own property. And after ten years of trying to make it on Music Row, he had the courage and the confidence to start all over again after a fire threatened to destroy the world he was living in.
