A wedding request to Scott Blasey, a brand-new video spinoff we’re slightly scared to make, and a lyric game that derails into glorious chaos—this one moves fast and hits a lot. We kick off by revisiting last week’s interview, then clip an on-air invite to the Clarks frontman to perform at a future wedding. From there we pivot into real talk about editing choices, how small cuts can smooth a show, and why honesty on the mic matters more than polish.
Our music news run is stacked: Fetty Wap’s release, BTS returning from military service with a world tour, Slipknot teasing new material, and Hillary Duff’s latest single with a side of mom-scene drama. The big legacy story lands hard—John Fogerty reclaiming the CCR songbook and celebrating it with an NPR Tiny Desk performance—opening a wider conversation about artist rights, masters, and what it means to finally own the songs that define you. Along the way, we weave in pop culture and everyday life: a car speaker sacrificed to Billy Joel at max volume, a misdiagnosed turbo that turns out to be a cracked line, and a quitting story punctuated by free celebration donuts.
Then we crank up a reimagined lyric challenge, trading “finish the lyric” for smarter prompts that spark memory and laughter. Journey’s train, Miley’s hands in the air, Queen’s silhouettes, and Creed’s six feet from the edge all make an appearance, serving up nostalgia with a wink. We even wander into a spirited Helen Keller debate that says more about how stories spread than the story itself. To cap it off, we share community-first merch—DJ ABC tees priced to move—and tease Off The Record, our video-only experiment that feels equal parts exciting and reckless.
Hit play for music news, banter, and a game you’ll want to steal for your next hangout. If you’re into artist rights, pop culture tangents, and lyric nostalgia, you’ll feel right at home.
