Podcast appearances and mentions of Willie Nelson

Jack Johnson joins Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan on the Pinch My Salt Podcast for a hilarious, wide-ranging conversation about surfing, music, Hawaii, Kelly Slater, Tom Curren, John John Florence, Willie Nelson, Ben Harper, G. Love, Rob Machado, songwriting, touring, fame and the stories behind some of Jack Johnson's biggest songs. Jack Johnson talks about the real story behind “Banana Pancakes,” “Bubble Toes” and “Rodeo Clowns,” his early music career, opening for Ben Harper, growing up surfing in Hawaii, the North Shore surf scene, and how Kelly Slater helped turn “Rodeo Clowns” into the name of a surfing maneuver. Jack also breaks down Kelly Slater vs. Tom Curren, explains why he believes John John Florence may be the best surfer in the world, and talks Nathan Fletcher, Christian Fletcher, Rob Machado, Pipeline, Sunset Beach, big-wave surfing and the surfers who influenced him. Plus, Jack plays music live in the Pinch My Salt studio and tells the incredible story of playing poker with Willie Nelson. This is Jack Johnson like you probably haven't heard him before. Jack gets into the story of meeting Willie Nelson at a benefit concert in Maui, getting invited back to Willie's house to play poker, and the song that came out of the experience. He talks about forgetting lyrics and hitting wrong chords on stage, why those mistakes can actually make live music better, and how he learned to deal with the pressure of performing in front of huge crowds. Jack also opens up about fame, imposter syndrome, mental health, staying grounded in Hawaii, and why too much attention can start to feel unhealthy. He explains how Ben Harper and G. Love inspired him before he ever knew them personally, and what it was like going from being a fan to opening shows for Ben Harper. We also get into the surprising story behind Jack Johnson's Curious George soundtrack, working on the film with Hans Zimmer, and why making music for an animated kids movie felt like such a strange move within surf culture at the time. Then it gets DEEP into surfing. Kelly Slater vs. Tom Curren. John John Florence. Dane Reynolds. Nathan Fletcher. Christian Fletcher. Rob Machado. Pipeline. Sunset. Margaret River. Surf style vs. progression. What makes someone truly “core.” And Jack's perspective as someone who grew up completely immersed in the North Shore surf world before becoming one of the biggest musicians in the world. Jack also talks about his wife Kim, writing love songs, balancing marriage and success, raising a family, touring, his Surf Film Music project, September Sessions, and the work he and Kim do through the Kōkua Hawaiʻi Foundation and its environmental education programs in Hawaii. And somehow we also try to launch Jack Johnson's new phrases “That's What the Babies Eat” and “Rumpelstiltskin It” into surf culture. This one went places.

With the sports calendar finally about to wake back up, Bob and Mike use one last stretch of the offseason to talk about some of the things they spend plenty of time discussing when the microphones aren't usually rolling: movies, music, books, and culture. Using their personal top-10 lists as jumping-off points, they wander through favorites, disagreements, old memories, and plenty of the tangents you'd expect when these two get going. Along the way:The pre-football temperature check: Why IU's newfound place in the college football hierarchy has changed the way other fan bases—and particularly Notre Dame fans—seem to view the Hoosiers. Movies: Bob and Mike compare their favorite films, with everything from Lawrence of Arabia and Casablanca to Dr. Strangelove, The Godfather, Goodfellas, Airplane! and Monty Python opening the door to a much broader conversation about great filmmaking. The directors behind them: Stanley Kubrick and David Lean lead into a discussion of what separates truly great directors—and why certain movies keep revealing something new decades later. Music: The guys turn their attention to favorite songs and performers, which naturally means revisiting some longstanding Bob-and-Mike debates about musical eras and what actually holds up.Books: Their reading lists provide another excuse to bounce between history, fiction, politics, culture, and the works that have stuck with them over the years.The lists behind the lists: Neither Bob nor Mike pretends these rankings are permanent. The fun is less about settling a definitive top 10 than figuring out why certain things have stayed with them—and what their choices say about their tastes.And because it's Xs and Joes, even an episode devoted to culture can veer from classic cinema to 1990s politics to Willie Nelson before somehow finding its way back toward basketball. It's a different kind of episode: less decoding the winning formula in college basketball and more getting the conversations Bob and Mike would probably be having anyway.

Hump Day arrives with a surprise nobody saw coming—especially King Scott, who walked into what he thought was another perfectly normal Hubbard Radio meeting and instead found a full-blown baby shower waiting for him. Balloons? Check. Barbecue? Absolutely. Enough diapers to make every parent in the room experience a traumatic flashback? You bet. Lern deserves special recognition for successfully stalling Scott by basically throwing every conversational emergency she could think of at him until the surprise was ready. Nothing suspicious about suddenly needing to discuss your entire medical history and possibly the Old Testament inside a radio booth.From there, this funny podcast gets into the realities of impending fatherhood, cloth diapers, Diaper Genies, crying babies and the future arrival of little Ethel—also known, for reasons this child may someday resent, as Gatorade.Then Rafe reports back from Outlaw Music Festival, where his long-running mission to get aboard Willie Nelson's tour bus once again encountered the minor obstacle of Willie Nelson being protected like the President of Texas. Rafe breaks down the impressive lineup, including Stephen Wilson Jr., Lukas Nelson and The Avett Brothers, while explaining just how seriously Willie's team locks things down backstage. The dream of getting onto the bus is still technically alive, although at this point it may require fate, divine intervention or Rafe being rolled backstage inside a protective bubble.The concert also produces an important sociological breakthrough nobody requested: Rafe's theory that Wranglers, cowboy boots and a cowboy hat automatically increase your attractiveness by roughly two points. The crew immediately subjects this groundbreaking research to peer review, including the crucial question of whether cowboy gear maintains its powers inside a Schnucks frozen-food aisle. This is the kind of scientific rigor you expect from a funny podcast with absolutely no scientific credentials.Things somehow get more uncomfortable when Riz shares some old high-school gossip involving a former student eventually dating one of her former teachers. That launches a much bigger conversation about age differences, authority, small-town dating pools and exactly how long after graduation something stops being weird. Listener stories arrive to make everything substantially less comfortable. Mission accomplished.Then the show heads into St. Louis-area weird news. PETA is offering a reward in connection with four guinea pigs abandoned inside exercise balls during extreme heat, leading the crew to investigate the apparently important secondary issue of what a guinea pig even costs these days. Spoiler: Rafe's estimate suggests he has not recently participated in the guinea pig economy.Meanwhile, Walmart drone deliveries are heading toward parts of the St. Louis area, and Maplewood residents have questions about noise, birds, hacking, air traffic and whether Grandma really needs groceries descending from the heavens. That spirals into a surprisingly thoughtful conversation about technology, AI data centers and whether all these inventions supposedly designed to save us time have actually just given us more time to work. Thankfully, somebody can now order pistachios and have them lowered into the backyard by robot aircraft, so civilization clearly nailed its priorities.There's also concern over the future of a historic Webster Groves theater, plus the incredible story of a mystery semi driver who stopped a van traveling the wrong way on I-70 and then apparently returned to his truck without waiting around for a parade. Finally, the crew discovers which car brand has some of the worst drivers, and BMW owners—including people conveniently sitting inside the studio—are forced to absorb a statistically assisted roasting involving turn signals, hair transplants, crypto and enough stereotypes to void the warranty.It's another funny podcast packed with St. Louis stories, weird news, concert chaos, questionable theories and the kind of conversations that begin with a baby shower and somehow end with BMW slander.

Surely the logo on the hood counts as a parking credential, right? Lern attempts to explain concepts like “parking passes” and “hang tags,” but luxury has changed these men. They've seen the badge. They know what they're worth now.A woman new to Missouri is stunned by the accessibility of alcohol and recreational weed, which sends the crew down a rabbit hole of grocery-store liquor laws across America. Apparently some states still make you visit a separate store to purchase booze. We assume residents there spend their evenings staring sadly toward Missouri and wondering where freedom went wrong.A leaked video of former Detroit news anchor Taryn Asher berating a colleague launches a debate over losing your temper at work, professionalism, double standards and whether one meltdown should define somebody's career. Naturally, this means revisiting some of broadcasting and Hollywood's most legendary freak-outs.The crew debates whether these blowups are understandable high-pressure moments or just adults being terrible to coworkers. Lern also shares her own battles against studio technology, proving once again that the greatest threat to morning radio isn't declining attention spans—it's a computer deciding at 5 a.m. that today feels like a good day to die.Then Crap on Celebrities arrives with some genuinely sad rock news: longtime ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard has died at 77. The crew looks back at the band's massive career, their unmistakable Texas blues-rock sound, their MTV-era reinvention and the scientific fact that putting on a ZZ Top song makes you approximately 34% more likely to feel capable of winning a bar fight.Nick Jonas revealing that he completely bombed his audition for Frozen after arriving unprepared, Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan expanding his Arizona empire with a sushi restaurant and apparently carrying the same pair of traveling chopsticks for decades, updates surrounding Tupac's murder trial, new Queens of the Stone Age music, and the planned return of Ozzfest.The celebrity pile continues with Robin Williams' children fighting AI-generated impersonations of their father and reactivating his official Instagram account as a source for authentic material. The crew also looks ahead to Dune: Part Three sharing a release weekend with Avengers: Doomsday, because movie theaters apparently decided December needed its own traffic apocalypse.Some teachers have reading corners. Some have quiet corners. One brave educator looked at her classroom and decided what these children really needed was a designated fart corner.The concept is simple: if a kid needs to let one rip, they walk over to a specific corner of the classroom, handle their business, spray a little air freshener and quietly return to their seat while supposedly “nobody pays attention.”Thankfully, St. Louis Blues broadcaster Chris Kerber joins the show to restore professionalism.That launches a full discussion about helicopter parenting, college move-in season and parents asking Facebook whether their 18-year-old should wear a robe or a towel back from the dorm shower. Chris and Moon agree on a revolutionary parenting strategy: sometimes your adult child can figure stuff out.Rizz is preparing to take his 16-year-old to tour the University of Arkansas, so Kerber offers actual useful advice among the chaos: check out the dorms, investigate the dining options and pay attention to whether the campus simply feels right.The hockey talk continues with the newly unveiled St. Louis Blues promotional calendar, including the upcoming Rizz Show Night jacket, which might legitimately be one of the best giveaways the show has done. Kerber breaks down the limited nature of theme-night tickets, the upcoming shortened NHL preseason and the excitement building around the new season.A former escort and sugar baby writes in after hearing the crew's previous conversations about dating for money and offers to answer their questions. Naturally, the room immediately generates approximately 700 of them. How much money? What was off-limits? Was sex always involved? How do repeat arrangements end? When do you tell a serious partner about that part of your past? Did you feel safe? Did you pay taxes?Pasta enters the arena. Chocolate-chip cookies arrive, although Moon repeatedly describing his ideal cookie as “wet” and “sweaty” causes unnecessary suffering. Lern chooses cake. Rafe starts negotiating the definition of pasta. Donuts make a late push. Rizz eventually lands on pizza.The rules get debated harder than most federal legislation before the conversation arrives at the true battleground: National Potato Day.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Maplewood and St. Charles hear Walmart drone delivery pitchTrucker hailed as hero after I-70 wrong-way scareBest and Worst Drivers by Brand: 2026 ReportDetroit TV anchor caught on video calling her boss a ‘bitch' in profanity-laced newsroom blowupCould Lettuce Make Plant-Based Meat Taste More Like the Real Thing?

In this B-side episode of Set List and Bruce, Jesse welcomes back Dale Hansen for a wide-ranging conversation that begins with Hansen reflecting on long-winded interviews and leads into his love of Rod Stewart, first seeing him live at the Cowboys' 1996 Super Bowl in Phoenix, and why Stewart's persona, gravelly voice, and story-driven songs resonate with him—so much so that he's planned Rod Stewart songs for his funeral. Hansen then shares memories of late NBA coach Don Nelson, including their first meeting tied to Nelson's 1961 Iowa–Ohio State game and a darkly comic Maui poker story involving Willie Nelson. The discussion also covers Nelson's Dirk Nowitzki draft, Hansen's approach to avoiding definitive hot takes, and why he always believed Troy Aikman would thrive in broadcasting, illustrated with personal stories from an Iowa graduation visit and the “potato salad” saga. https://www.youtube.com/@DallasDialoguewithDale 00:00 Talking Too Much 02:13 B-Side Episode Intro 02:53 Rod Stewart Discovery 04:17 Funeral Playlist Plans 10:59 Don Nelson Tribute 11:34 First Meeting Story 17:11 Maui Poker Tale 24:25 Dirk Draft Debate 27:14 Trusting Coaches and Scouts 29:22 Aikman on the Mic 30:56 Iowa Graduation Surprise 36:53 Potato Salad Legend 41:13 Protecting Sources on Planes 43:22 Winning Over Stats 45:39 Fantasy Numbers Debate 50:45 Podcast and Homeless Crisis 54:30 Final Thanks and Farewell Learn more about your ad choices.

Garth Brooks and Willie Nelson gave Corey Kent advice that helped change the direction of his life. In this episode of God's Country, Corey joins The Brothers Hunt to tell those stories—and opens up about getting fired with a new baby at home, leaving Nashville, building a life in Texas, and redefining what success really means. Corey shares how he handed Garth Brooks a burned CD containing the only three songs he had written, why he confidently claimed they were ready for country radio, and the life-changing message Garth later sent him. He also remembers singing with Willie Nelson as a teenager and receiving the advice that first sent him to Nashville. The conversation goes deeper into faith, family, fatherhood, hunting, and the emotional moment Corey experienced on his family's Oklahoma land before delivering his grandfather's eulogy. Plus, he talks about “Wild as Her,” his upcoming album Heartland Rock N Roll, working with Jason Aldean, and why he plans to live his life in seasons.

Send us Fan MailLong before Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson got credit for starting outlaw country, Johnny Cash was already living it. This episode of Once Around the Country traces how a poor farm boy from Arkansas, born with only initials for a name, became the man behind one of the most legendary live albums ever recorded.The episode covers Johnny's growing outlaw reputation, his arrests, his drug use, and the empathy he developed for the men he met behind bars. That empathy led to a dream he chased for over a decade: recording a live album inside Folsom State Prison. Record executives thought it was a terrible idea. Johnny thought it might save his career.On January 13, 1968, Johnny Cash walked into Folsom State Prison alongside June Carter, the Statler Brothers, Carl Perkins, and his backing band the Tennessee Three. He recorded a concert that revived his career and became one of Rolling Stone's top 500 albums of all time.In This Episode:Why Johnny Cash wasn't actually born "Johnny"The tragedy that shaped his childhoodHow Sun Records changed his careerThe surprising reason he always wore blackJohnny Cash's arrests and drug strugglesWhy Folsom Prison became his greatest performanceHow Merle Haggard's life changed after seeing Johnny performWhy At Folsom Prison still ranks among the greatest live albums ever madeThis episode is sponsored by: Dignity Memorial Reed Animal Hospital Bio:Johnny Cash (born J.R.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with pianist Floyd Domino for a conversation about Western swing, boogie-woogie, jazz, musical identity, and a career spent supporting some of the most important artists in music.Floyd talks about beginning piano lessons at five years old, moving from classical study into jazz, and developing the unusual independence that allows his left hand to establish the foundation while his right hand tells the story. We discuss the pianists who influenced him, including Count Basie, Oscar Peterson, Moon Mullican, Jerry Lee Lewis, Al Stricklin, Pete Johnson, Jay McShann, Hank Jones, Ralph Sutton, and Kenny Barron.We also trace Floyd's path into Asleep at the Wheel, which began with an unexpected audition after a period of playing bars in Montana. Floyd explains how his jazz background helped move the band further toward Western swing and how musicians including Al Stricklin, Eldon Shamblin, Johnny Gimble, Ralph Mooney, and other pioneers taught his generation to respect tradition while still developing an individual voice.Floyd shares stories from his work with Waylon Jennings and George Strait, including his decision not to study George Strait's earlier records before entering the studio. Instead, he chose to trust the reason he had been hired and bring his own musical personality to the sessions. We talk about the responsibility of a sideman, the challenge of staying out of the bass player's range, and the advice he received that a musician's real job is to make everyone else in the band sound better.Our conversation also explores Floyd's children's recordings, beginning with the Beatles-inspired Baby Road. He recalls recording at Jack Clement's Cowboy Arms Hotel and Recording Spa, being told that the project needed a bass player, and discovering that the available musician was Edgar Meyer. Floyd also discusses working with members of The Crickets and forming the Floyd Domino All-Stars with musicians including Emily Gimble and Danny Levin.Key TakeawaysFloyd believes the first requirement of Western swing is that it must genuinely swing.Musical identity matters as much as technical accuracy; the pioneers encouraged younger players to absorb the tradition without becoming imitations.Floyd's two-handed piano style depends on watching the patterns in his left hand while listening closely to the melodic ideas in his right.His jazz background helped bring a stronger swing influence into Asleep at the Wheel.Floyd entered his George Strait sessions determined to sound like himself rather than copy the pianist from an earlier record.A good sideman listens for what is missing, stays out of other musicians' way, and works to make the entire band sound better.The children's album Baby Road began as a way to present strong melodies simply, without allowing arrangement or ego to overwhelm the songs.Music from the EpisodeThe Mess Around - Floyd DominoBob's Breakdown - Asleep at the WheelHouse of Blue Lights - Asleep at the WheelAce in the Hole - George StraitI Will - Floyd DominoAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a music interview podcast hosted by Brad Williams.

No theme this week. No genre studies. No artist retrospectives. Just two hours of great American music. We're in a free-form mood, wandering once again through the dusty digital archives of the past century in search of songs that simply deserve to be heard. Pour yourself a favorite morning libation and settle in as we journey from the elegant dance band sounds of George Olsen to the gypsy jazz brilliance of Django Reinhardt and the unmistakable blues of Memphis Minnie. Along the way, we'll kick up a little country dust with Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Marty Stuart, and plenty of other musical companions. There may not be a formal theme, but don't be surprised if the songs begin talking to one another. You'll hear stories of good news and bad news, bad blood, hard luck, redemption, resilience, and the enduring hope that seems to find its way into the best American music. That's the beauty of community radio. Sometimes the best discoveries happen when you stop looking for a destination and simply enjoy the journey. Join us Friday morning at 9:00 Pacific on KOWS Community Radio, streaming worldwide at kowsfm.com, and spend a couple of hours exploring the music that shaped where we've been—and still has something to say about where we're going.

This week we interview Thomas Csorba, a Texas singer/songwriter whose latest album, Tender Country, seems like it was made specifically for Country Music Dads just like us. Tender Country paints a vivid, beautiful and highly accurate picture of life in the early years of parenting. The Dads had never heard anything like this -- an “authentic” view of early parenthood-- so we had to talk to him.SHOW NOTES:00:50: A bit of an intro and a spelling lesson, as we welcome Thomas into the show. 2:58: A dive into the album, Tender Country and how this album hits much deeper into the Dad Life. Csorba explains that his approach toward songwriting had to be part of his lived experience. And not trying to be cool, which is pretty cool. 6:05: The Productivity of Naptime -- Thomas outlines how fatherhood changed his approach to art and productivity. Kids' proximity to the ground enables them to change our perception, said Thomas and that this process of being a dad has shifted his understanding of being a creative. 11:08: What is the real cost of making it? The Dads and Thomas talk about his opening track “Big Time” and what success really looks like for parents. For Thomas and his four year-old, it's high, low, buffalo and getting a handwritten sticky note on a cut out of his profile in the Houston Chronicle. 16:35: Inspiration in the mundane and the ego killer of a four year-old demanding a sandwich. 19:35: A discussion “He Would've Love This” and how generational family life matters so much more once you're a parent. 21:30: Asking the songwriter his go to lullaby. A mixture of old gospel music and Willie Nelson tunes -- very Texas. 24:05: The Dad Life Sound CheckThank you for listening.

Chad and Brittany leave Austin and end up five minutes from Gruene Hall. Hayes Carll is recording a live album and Chad has a request list ready before they even walk in. He talks about what it means to stand in a room where George Strait shot his first album cover, and Willie Nelson has played. Hayes Carll takes the stage and the rest of the night disappears. From there it's Luckenbach on a Monday with old Texans playing Guy Clark songs in the courtyard, the Albert Dance Hall on the way to camp, San Antonio, the Pearl District, Hotel Emma, and oysters on the Riverwalk. Chad also gets into Hayes Carll as a songwriter, Jerry Jeff Walker and what Luckenbach means to him, Chris Knight being made an honorary Texan, and why he thinks songwriting is one of the greatest art forms alive. It's another awesome insight into a life that just ain't for everybody! We hope you enjoy!

My fellow pro-growth/progress/abundance Up Wingers in America and around the world:With the massive buildout of data centers has come an equally massive backlash. They've been blamed for higher electricity bills, taking up too much water, and pushing out farmland. All this has led to a public outcry and efforts against their construction. But how much of the criticism is warranted? Has one of America's fastest-growing industries become a political scapegoat?Today on Faster, Please!—The Podcast, I am joined by Andy Masley, an independent writer supported by Coefficient Giving who deep dives into AI research. Recently, he has focused on data centers at his great newsletter and separating facts from myths surrounding them.We discuss what the evidence actually says about data centers' impact on water, land, and electricity prices—and where Andy thinks people get the facts wrong. We also discuss AI art, Waymo, and America's willingness to embrace technological change.In This Episode:* AI Art as Curation (0:37)* Waymo and Technological Disruption (4:43)* The Case for Data Centers (9:14)* Water and Land (15:41)* Data Centers and Electricity (21:41)* The Data Center Backlash (28:50)A lightly edited transcript of our conversation will appear in my Week in Review issue on Saturday. (Another option is using the Substack auto transcript function.)But here are some edited highlights from the chat:On AI Art…As you see someone using Midjourney to create images that you are actually much more interested in, and find more subtle or pleasant than the kinds of AI-generated images most people are typically exposed to on their timelines, it can really open people up and make them realize that these tools are much more powerful than they might expect.On Waymo Entering Cities…While there are many industries that I might worry about completely disrupting, the number of deaths caused by driving, and the difficulty people face getting around very dense cities, are such important problems that I am willing to hand the robots this one before we march forward elsewhere. On this issue, I am entirely gung ho: “Let the Waymos have it.”On misconceptions about data centers…If you somehow hid the words “data center” but included all the other information and asked, “Would you accept these specific trade-offs in your community, such as using a certain amount of water and land, in exchange for this amount of tax revenue?” I think that, in most places, with a few exceptions, people would say yes.On the “lack” of land…This has really blown up in the past few months in a way I really didn't expect. Willie Nelson actually just posted this thing that got like a hundred thousand likes on Twitter about, “Don't give them an inch of our farmland.” My basic finding is that data centers themselves, the physical buildings, will take up something like one-fifteenth of the land that we currently dedicate to Christmas trees in America, which isn't nothing, but it's also incredibly small. On data centers driving up electricity prices…Electricity markets are very complicated and don't always work in a simple, you increase demand, and the price just immediately goes up for everyone. That's not really how it works. They have had to slightly raise household electricity prices because of the data center. They've reported data centers as being one of several causes, but that's usually not a significant percentage.On the growing data center backlashIt's hard not to feel like a lot of the anti-data center stuff is also this collective, “I can find this deep meaning in this local struggle against these people who I perceive to be bad.” The general idea that we can all band together as this ragtag team of everyday people and prevent this thing from destroying our local community is a very compelling narrative to people, regardless of the actual specific harms that are expected. I do think general anti-tech sentiment is definitely playing into this.On sale everywhere: The Conservative Futurist: How To Create the Sci-Fi World We Were Promised This is a public episode.

Country music legend Willie Nelson has publicly called on Americans, especially those in rural communities, to oppose the rapid expansion of data centers, arguing that they threaten farmland, water resources, and the character of small towns. 11-year-old Ashton Meyer, who transformed a basic neighborhood chore into a thriving business. Despite initial fears of rejection, he built a growing customer base, gained more than 100,000 social media followers, and became an example of young entrepreneurship through persistence, hard work, and a willingness to knock on doors and ask for business. CNBC reports that James Comey is seeking dismissal of the criminal case over his “8647” seashells post and is accusing the Secret Service of illegally surveilling him during the investigation. His lawyers argue that agents tracked him without proper legal authority and that the entire prosecution is politically motivated, while prosecutors continue to maintain that the post constituted a threat against President Trump.

From camel rides to West Nile mosquitoes, somehow end up roasting Panera's move to Boston, and still find time to debate whether minivans are secretly awesome... congratulations, you've found today's episode.The crew kicks things off with one of the weirdest conversations you'll hear all week after camel videos completely derail the morning. From there it's straight into Missouri mosquito season, West Nile warnings, heat indexes trying to melt highways, and why everyone suddenly feels like checking every birdbath in the neighborhood.Then comes the biggest local story of the day: Panera officially announcing plans to move its headquarters from the St. Louis area to Boston. The gang reacts the only way they know how—with sarcastic conspiracy theories, fake boardroom jargon, Boston jokes, memories of St. Louis Bread Co., questionable bathroom reviews, and plenty of mourning for another hometown company heading east. Somehow the conversation also includes Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, bread bowls, hospital food, and the mysterious career path of CEO Paul Carbone.The chaos doesn't stop there.There's a wild retail theft story where social media becomes the criminals' biggest enemy, stories about detention, paddlings, school punishments that absolutely wouldn't fly today, and enough embarrassing childhood memories to keep therapists employed for years.Later, the crew unexpectedly becomes the biggest supporters of minivans you've ever heard. Sliding doors, cup holders, family road trips, captain's chairs, Toyota Siennas... suddenly everyone's wondering if they judged minivans way too harshly growing up.Of course, no episode would be complete without random tangents about neighborhood cats, weird internet nostalgia, ridiculous listener texts, and the kind of conversations that somehow only happen on The Rizzuto Show.Some people start their morning with coffee. We start ours by arguing about what the word "standby" actually means before immediately spiraling into ancient social media trauma. Seems healthy.This daily comedy show welcomes comedian Bobby Jaycox back into the studio, and from there the rails completely disappear. One minute we're talking about his stand-up shows, the next we're debating whether MySpace deserves another shot at world domination. Would you bring back your Top 8? Would Tom still be your first friend? More importantly... what embarrassing song was automatically blasting from your profile the second someone visited?Naturally, that conversation leads us into the greatest collection of forgotten internet memories imaginable. MySpace profile songs, HTML backgrounds, awkward teenage decisions, and the horrifying realization that some of those old photos may still exist somewhere in the digital universe waiting to ruin careers.As if nostalgia wasn't enough, Lauren somehow gets roped into doing a Chewbacca impression... and then convinces everyone else to try one too. The results are exactly as dignified as you'd expect from grown adults with microphones.Elsewhere in today's chaos...• Bobby shares stories about Nikki Glaser helping promote his comedy shows.• The crew debates whether listening to music should be a solo experience.• Rafe revisits one of the most questionable MySpace profile songs ever selected by a human being.• Moon explains why MySpace worked in the first place—and why bringing it back might be impossible.• Clone conspiracies somehow become a serious topic for several minutes.• Lauren runs through the latest celebrity news, music headlines, TV updates and entertainment gossip during Crap on Celebrities.• Ted Lasso returns.• American Horror Story gets its Avengers-style crossover season.• Eminem auctions off sneakers.• Demi Lovato shuts down clone theories... which naturally only fuels more clone theories around the room.• The gang ranks classic summer songs while simultaneously roasting Kenny Chesney, LFO, Brian Wilson, and basically everyone else.It's another episode where one conversation accidentally creates six more conversations, nobody stays on topic for long, and somehow that's exactly how we like it.Then Mike McKenna from Macadoodles walks into the studio carrying what might be the greatest gift Rafe has ever received: a full-size cardboard cutout of Willie Nelson. Naturally, that leads to conversations about THC drinks, sleep gummies, hemp regulations, getting way too high in Vegas, and why older adults are becoming the biggest fans of Willie Nelson's cannabis beverages.The crew also answers listener emails that somehow become full-blown debates. Is it weird to say hi to the spouses of radio personalities when you see them in public? Does gray hair actually make people more attractive? Should you ever dye it? Why do brothers care if their sister goes gray? The opinions are... surprisingly passionate.Then comes one of the biggest debates of the episode.A listener witnesses someone bringing a dog into a pizza restaurant... then placing the dog ON THE TABLE. The crew is completely split over what's acceptable, what's disgusting, where the line should be, and somehow babies, dirty diapers, dog hair, patios, and pizza all become part of the same conversation.Meanwhile Bobby prepares for his upcoming appearance at the Gathering of the Juggalos, everyone wonders what kind of chaos that comedy show will become, and Rafe volunteers to road trip despite claiming he's only doing it to pay off student loans.It's another completely unfiltered episode filled with ridiculous conversations, listener emails, celebrity randomness, weird news, and exactly the kind of nonsense you've come to expect from The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Mosquitoes in Desoto Test Positive for West Nile VirusExtreme heat buckles road on Highway K in O'FallonPanera to move headquarters from St. Louis to BostonMillennials are trying to make minivans cool again‘Millennials assemble': Myspace could be making a comebackSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The countdown to Rizz's birthday bash is officially on, which means the show immediately spirals into conversations about public spanking, 90s rock tribute bands, specialty birthday beer, and why apparently nobody can leave well enough alone.This daily comedy show starts with the crew hyping Rizz's birthday celebration at Delmar Hall before somehow landing on whether a dominatrix should be involved. (We wish we were kidding.)Then Mike McKenna from Macadoodles walks into the studio carrying what might be the greatest gift Rafe has ever received: a full-size cardboard cutout of Willie Nelson. Naturally, that leads to conversations about THC drinks, sleep gummies, hemp regulations, getting way too high in Vegas, and why older adults are becoming the biggest fans of Willie Nelson's cannabis beverages.The crew also answers listener emails that somehow become full-blown debates.

Sometimes dreams only come true when you build them yourself. For Chris Johnson, that philosophy has defined a remarkable career spanning decades in the music industry. Now, after years spent creating opportunities for other artists while quietly honing his own craft, Johnson is stepping back into the spotlight with his powerful new single, "Better Days Ahead," out June 26 2026, and  the first release from his forthcoming album, Tales From The Cowboy Palace.Born and raised in the rural community of Lakeside in San Diego County, California, Johnson grew up balancing life between Future Farmers of America, horseback riding, surfing and skateboarding. Raised among cattle, rodeos, and wide-open spaces, he proudly identifies as an "urban cowboy"—someone who may live in the suburbs but carries a rural spirit at heart.Chris Johnson is a California-born singer-songwriter, musician, entrepreneur, and self-described urban cowboy whose career spans performance, production, sound engineering, venue ownership, and artist development. Raised in Lakeside, California, Johnson has spent decades immersed in the music industry while continuing to write songs rooted in real-life experiences. His upcoming album, Tales From The Cowboy Palace, showcases his distinctive blend of traditional Country storytelling and hard-earned authenticity.Music was woven into Johnson's life from the very beginning. With a mother, aunts, and grandfathers who were all musicians, his passion for songwriting and performance came naturally. By the age of twelve, he was already playing guitar and singing alongside his mother at schools, county fairs, senior centers, and community events. Influenced by legends such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Merle Huggard, George Jones, John Denver, and Pete Seeger, Johnson developed a deep appreciation for storytelling through song.As a teenager, he played in school bands before forming his own country rock group. During college, he fronted a local band called Border Tones before pursuing solo performances throughout Southern California. His journey eventually led him to Los Angeles, where he attended Musicians Institute and joined a booking agency that sent him across the country performing corporate events and hotel engagements.While the experience sharpened his skills as a performer, Johnson ultimately felt pulled toward creating music of his own."I really wanted to get back to doing my own music," Johnson recalls. "I didn't even have a house—we were just in band houses and hotel rooms all the time."Back in Los Angeles, Johnson built an impressive behind-the-scenes career, running sound for legendary venues including the Whisky A Go Go and the Roxy, managing backline operations for FM Station. Also, touring as guitar tech for John Fogerty, Styx, Government Mule, Lisa Marie Presley, Chaka Khan and System of A Down. While also performing demo vocals, composing commercial jingles, and providing voiceover work. He also launched his own equipment company, Hollywood Studio Rentals, Valley Production Storage and Drum Paradise LA before eventually purchasing the very Country music venue where he frequently performed—the famed Cowboy Palace.Through every chapter of his career, songwriting remained a constant. Now, Tales From The Cowboy Palace serves as the culmination of a lifetime of experiences, offering listeners an authentic collection of songs centered around perseverance, freedom, fatherhood, motorcycles, hard work, and redemption. Backed by his band, The Hollywood Hillbillies, Johnson delivers a modern Country project enriched by decades of musical influences and real-world experiences.Lead single "Better Days Ahead" stands as a heartfelt anthem for dreamers, workers, and anyone pushing forward through adversity."It's about working my ass off when I had nothing," Johnson says. "Dreaming of giving a better life to my wife and kids."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Somehow the World Cup finally got a halftime show... and somehow we still found plenty to complain about.Today's comedy podcast starts with the crew breaking down the most bizarre halftime spectacle imaginable. Madonna appears for what feels like twelve seconds, BTS brings the choreography, Justin Bieber decides the world's biggest sporting event needs an acoustic therapy session, and then Shakira walks out to remind everyone why those hips have never lied. Naturally, we have opinions.From there, things somehow get even weirder.It's Moon Day, which means Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin get the glory while poor Michael Collins gets roasted for being the guy who drove everyone to the moon and wasn't allowed to get out of the car.

Rizz returns from Lake of the Ozarks with stories that immediately raise questions about the local water quality, why "Doo Doo Cove" sounds exactly like what everyone thinks it does, and whether anyone should trust a body of water that inspires conversations about E. coli before breakfast. Between luxury boats, lake restaurants, cover bands playing everything from Def Leppard to Stone Temple Pilots, and a nighttime cruise that somehow turns into jokes about "Potty Cove," the crew proves once again that no vacation is safe from relentless roasting.Lern brings the emotional roller coaster. After performing with her band during one of the hottest weekends of the summer while sticking to Dry July, she shares stories from seeing Graham Nash live, discovering just how emotional Jason Isbell's music can be, and accidentally turning a simple drive home into a philosophical discussion about love, mortality, and asking Tim one of the most uncomfortable hypothetical questions imaginable. Leave it to this show to pivot from crying in the shower to making fun of old people at concerts in less than thirty seconds.King Scott breaks down his concert at Copper Fire. The review of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, debating where it ranks among Nolan's best films while also recounting one of the most frustrating movie theater experiences imaginable. Apparently, Nicole Kidman can remind everyone to silence their phones, but that doesn't stop a few audience members from treating a three-hour epic like their personal conference room.Along the way, the gang debates relationship guilt trips after solo vacations, laughs about passive-aggressive texts involving twenty loads of laundry and Beaches, swaps stories from weekend gigs around St. Louis, and somehow finds themselves discussing haunted taverns, giant lake houses, military-themed party boats, and why some people apparently spend millions on yachts that never leave freshwater.Of course, it wouldn't be The Rizzuto Show without conversations wandering completely off the rails. What starts as a harmless weekend recap turns into debates about movie etiquette, music that absolutely destroys your emotional stability, bizarre lake myths, and one of the funniest recurring bits of the day surrounding "Caca Cove." Add in the infamous Mountain Dew theft story, plenty of listener interaction, sarcastic commentary, and nonstop riffing, and you've got exactly the kind of chaos listeners expect every morning.Somehow the World Cup finally got a halftime show... and somehow we still found plenty to complain about.It's Moon Day, which means Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin get the glory while poor Michael Collins gets roasted for being the guy who drove everyone to the moon and wasn't allowed to get out of the car. We imagine the greatest prank NASA never pulled, discuss Bruce Lee, NeverEnding Story, James Gunn, Ozzy Day, and somehow turn historical events into completely unnecessary comedy.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where Jelly Roll and Bunny XO's divorce, Willie Nelson's latest memoir, Apple Music price hikes, Metallica preparing for The Sphere, Shane Gillis smashing comedy attendance records, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, Charlie Sheen family drama, celebrity careers hanging on by a thread, and plenty of entertainment gossip all get thrown into the blender.Along the way we debate whether stadium comedy is actually fun, argue about the best place to watch Nolan movies, wonder if The Rock needs a career reboot, celebrate Carlos Santana's birthday, and somehow end up discussing Michael Collins' intrusive thoughts while orbiting the moon.Would you hand over your dating life to artificial intelligence? Better question... would you trust Rafe Williams with your dating profile? That's the completely reasonable debate the gang accidentally has on today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, where one ridiculous idea somehow spirals into an entire discussion about modern dating, catfishing, AI matchmaking, relationship green flags, restaurant red flags, and why everyone's emotional baggage apparently comes with free shipping.It all starts with Rafe pitching what may be the worst—or greatest—experiment in show history: creating dating app profiles using Rizzuto's photos just to see what kind of chaos happens. Naturally, the room immediately realizes this could destroy friendships, marriages, reputations, and probably a few Terms of Service agreements. The conversation somehow gets even weirder when everyone starts debating whether younger versions of themselves would outperform their current selves on dating apps, complete with AI-generated aging photos and nostalgic stories from the early internet.Then things take a futuristic turn as the crew dives into a new AI-powered matchmaking service that's arranging dates for college students. Instead of endless swiping, artificial intelligence chooses your match, schedules your date, and may eventually give you conversation topics before you even meet. Convenient? Creepy? A little of both? The gang debates whether we're heading toward a future where AI agents date each other before humans ever have to.Of course, it wouldn't be The Rizzuto Show without immediately asking ChatGPT to describe everyone's ideal romantic partner. The results are surprisingly deep, unexpectedly hilarious, and occasionally a little too accurate for comfort. Nothing says "healthy discussion" like being emotionally profiled by a chatbot.Later, the conversation shifts into relationship green flags as the crew breaks down the little traits that instantly make someone more attractive—from confidence and curiosity to financial responsibility, power tools, good posture, and apparently picking things up with your toes.Finally, they tackle one of the biggest personality tests there is: going out to eat together. How someone treats restaurant staff, orders their meal, handles mistakes, tips, uses their phone, or reacts to cold mashed potatoes might reveal everything you need to know before committing to a second date.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Taylor Farms recalls iceberg lettuce sourced in Mexico after it was linked to cyclospora outbreakMan rescued after climbing into portable restroom toilet in Kansas CityMy eye had to be sewn shut after a parasite ate my cornea — the crucial mistake I madeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode Description Welcome back to the Lonely Town Podcast, where Derek and Jimmy explore the music, stories, and world of Brandon Flowers and The Killers. With Brandon's upcoming solo album Thrasher just around the corner, Derek and Jimmy break down the newly released trailer, discuss its striking imagery, and explain why this project already feels different from anything Brandon has released before. From classic cars and dusty highways to small-town diners, county fairs, and the familiar backdrop of Mount Nebo, the trailer paints a picture of the Utah Brandon Flowers remembers growing up. Derek and Jimmy connect the visual callbacks to Pressure Machine, discuss Brandon's relationship with Nephi, and explore why Thrasher feels like an even more personal continuation of that story. The conversation then takes an unexpected but fascinating turn into the world of classic country music. Rather than simply reviewing the trailer, the guys share the artists, albums, and songs they believe helped shape Brandon's musical upbringing—including legends like Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Glen Campbell, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and The Highwaymen. If you've never listened to traditional country music, this episode serves as a roadmap for understanding the storytelling, emotion, and authenticity that appear to be at the heart of Thrasher. Along the way, Derek shares stories from growing up in Nephi, working at a local truck stop, discovering country music, traveling throughout the Southwest with his father, and why experiencing different cultures makes both music—and life—more meaningful. Whether you've already embraced Brandon's new direction or you're still unsure what to expect, this episode is designed to prepare you for the journey before Thrasher arrives. Show Notes Featured Topic Brandon Flowers' Thrasher Trailer First reactions to Brandon's official trailer The symbolism behind the classic convertible Returning to Nephi after Pressure Machine Mount Nebo, backroads, diners, and county fairs Why the trailer feels deeply personal Visual callbacks to Pressure Machine The importance of place in Brandon's songwriting Inside Brandon's Musical Influences The guys discuss why understanding classic country music may help fans appreciate Thrasher.

Democrats are going after Ken Paxton for spending July 4th in England, and you need to see what James Talarico actually posted before the media spins it. In the Texas Senate race, Talarico called out Paxton for being in London during the 250th anniversary of American independence. He posted a video of Paxton there and claimed it was the last place any patriotic Texan should be that weekend. Talarico stayed in Texas and posed with Willie Nelson instead. While regular Americans were focused on family, barbecues, and making ends meet, political elites turned a personal trip into campaign ammo. The irony of attacking someone for being in the U.K. right after celebrating independence from Britain hasn't gone unnoticed. Pat also covered: Graham Platner drops out of the Maine race.

This week Duncan MacKenzie and Ryan Peter Miller sit down with artist and educator Rafael Salas for a wide-ranging conversation about rural Wisconsin, magical realism, county fairs, country music, identity, and the contested landscapes of contemporary America. Salas discusses growing up in rural Wisconsin, returning to the Midwest after years in New York, and how his paintings inhabit a space between celebration and unease. The conversation moves from the influence of Wisconsin Death Trip to the political symbolism of county fairs, mixed-race identity, landscape painting traditions, and the challenge of making meaningful contemporary art from outside major art centers.
