  2026 Vuelta - Tom Schuler And Mitch Teich

  Aug 16, 202645 min

  This week, former professional cyclist Tom Schuler and NPR’s Mitch Teich join us to preview the upcoming Vuelta a España! We kick things off with a deep dive into the state of American cycling, discussing the financial hurdles of hosting a three-week race in the U.S. and hearing about the record-breaking success of the Tour of America’s Dairyland. The conversation shifts to the dominance of Tadej Pogačar, as we debate his quest to tick the Vuelta off his list and whether he is the greatest cyclist of all time in a modern, hyper-competitive era. Along the way, Tom shares a classic story about meeting Eddy Merckx in 1974, we break down the brutal "Queen Stage" with over 5,000 meters of vertical gain, and we look at the potential internal team drama at UAE Team Emirates. We also chat about the twilight careers of veterans like Primož Roglič and Enrique Moss, our picks for the podium and much, much more! Enjoy!

  B&S Movies - Owning Mahowny - Joe Kay and Scott Cvecko

  Aug 2, 202627 min

  This week, Joe Kay from the Play That Rock and Roll podcast and longtime friend Scott Cvecko join us to talk about the 2003 film Owning Mahowny starring Philip Seymour Hoffman. We dive into the gut-wrenching true story of a bank manager who used his position to embezzle millions to feed a crippling gambling addiction. We chat about Hoffman’s sensational performance as the hollow and lifeless Mahowny, the film’s incredible accuracy to the book by Gary Ross, and the irony of the movie’s own $9 million loss at the box office. Along the way, there is a spirited discussion about the drab, unglamorous portrayal of casinos, the "cartoonishly bad" villainy of the casino manager, and whether the film's uncomfortable realism makes it a masterpiece or just plain depressing. All that and much, much more! Enjoy!

  S9E8A - Haji Outlaw - Life in LA

  Jul 26, 202629 min

  This week, comedian and writer Haji Outlaw joins us for the second half of our interview! We dive into Haji’s move to Los Angeles in 2009 and the reality of navigating the professional writing world, including the crucial role of representation and why an agent is the key to getting into the room. Haji shares stories from his time writing for The Eric Andre Show and At Midnight, and how a spec script for Eastbound and Down helped him sign with major management. We also explore the "clique-ish" nature of the LA comedy scene compared to Chicago, his collaborations with Hannibal Buress, and his eventual decision to return to the Midwest during the pandemic. Along the way, we discuss the balance between acting and standup, the hazards of "leeching" in the industry, and Haji’s thoughts on whether AI could ever truly master comedy. All that and much, much more! Enjoy!
