Musique

Fréquence : 1 épisode/21j. Total Éps: 7

The Mostly Occasionally Show is a music and internet culture podcast sharing interesting conversations with interesting people. Mostly because they’ve got something interesting to say, and occasionally because growth isn’t always pretty—like a jam band bro waxing poetic about a 20-minute song that you’re not entirely sure ever ended.

Hosted by Brandon Wenerd, publisher of BroBible.com, this show dives deep into the crossroads of music, culture, digital life, and those pivotal moments are when we lock into a groove on who we are.

Randy Johnson: A Baseball Legend Makes Amends with the Birds and Finds New Focus Behind the Lens

vendredi 1 novembre 2024 • Durée 30:40

Send us a text

I’m pumped to bring you a conversation with one of baseball’s most unforgettable figures—Randy Johnson.

For those of us who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, he’s The Big Unit, the 6'10" powerhouse who ruled the mound for 22 seasons. How can you forget that towering presence dominating for the Expos, Mariners, Astros, D-backs, Yankees, and Giants?

These days, Randy’s channeling that legendary intensity into a new craft—behind the camera. We’ll revisit some of his most iconic career moments, but we’re also diving into the next chapter he’s carved out: a second act as a passionate photographer, capturing life with the same precision he brought to the field. His work has even made its way into galleries worldwide.

Of course, we couldn’t skip his infamous “bird pitch”—which is now getting a display in the hallowed halls of Cooperstown via his recent collaboration with DIRECTV. At the beginning of the 2024 MLB season, Randy teamed up with DIRECTV to turn old satellite dishes into miniature ballparks. Now these bird sanctuaries will be forever immortalized in the Hall of Fame. You can see these mini-masterpieces in the article I wrote on BroBible shortly after our conversation.

This chat feels extra special because, like a lot of you, I grew up watching Randy dominate. And seeing his journey in photography reminds me that none of us have to be boxed in by one thing.

For Randy, his love of photography—first sparked in college at USC while studying photojournalism—has taken him from stadiums to rock concerts and safaris in Africa. I'll never forget seeing him in the pit at a Primus show at the Green Theater in Los Angeles and being like... "whoa, that's.... Randy Johnson?! THE RANDY JOHNSON?!"

You can't miss him.

This episode is a rare look at a life that’s anything but one-dimensional.

So sit back and enjoy this chat with a living legend. Personally, I think it's a nice reminder that while all our fastballs may eventually fade, life's lens just keeps on a-widening.

If you dig it, I'd be stoked if you subscribed to this pod and left a review. And if you want to drop me an email, hit me up at brandon@brobible.com.

Cass Anderson: The Future We All Thought We'd be Living in as Kids

vendredi 25 octobre 2024 • Durée 55:08

Send us a text

This week on Mostly Occasionally, we’re shaking things up with a behind-the-scenes chat with my friend and business partner, Cass Anderson.

Cass is BroBible’s Editor-In-Chief. He leads our team of content creators and all the processes it entails. As a writer, he's written tens of thousands of our blog posts, covering everything from fishing and football to wild stories that keep BroBible… well, BroBible. His daily meme round-ups? It's one of the biggest things we do consistently daily. It's a reader favorite.

In this episode, Cass and I talk shop and dig into his recent trip to Meta’s Horizon event in the Bay Area. At two separate events here in California, we both tried out the new Meta Quest 3S headsets. Flying around in a Batsuit in VR? Pretty surreal. We’re sharing our thoughts on the latest in immersive tech.

We also get into how today’s short attention spans leave some big gaps in coverage—especially around natural disasters. Cass lives in Florida and wrote a recent piece on the devastation in Siesta Key and the Sarasota Gulf Coast. It obviously hits close to home. Do yourself a favor and go read it on BroBible.com.

Plus, we reminisce about our New York City days after Cass’s recent trip back to the city, where the energy is unmatched.

Tune in for a mix of shop talk, adventure stories, and a deeper look into the BroBible world. If you’re enjoying the show, hit subscribe and leave a review—it helps a ton!

Pat Boone at 90: Reflecting on Elvis, Bob Dylan, and the Golden Age of Rock

mardi 8 octobre 2024 • Durée 53:34

Send us a text

On this episode of The Mostly Occasionally Show, I sit down with 90-year-old Pat Boone, a legend whose career shaped the landscape of music and pop culture. With nearly 50 million records sold, 38 Top 40 hits, and friendships with icons like Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan, Pat’s stories span decades of cultural history.

We talk about his early days with Elvis, the controversy around his covers of Little Richard, and his bold stand with Harry Belafonte during the civil rights movement. My favorite part of the conversation is hearing him discuss his friendship with Bob Dylan over the years, ever the enigma. Plus, we very briefly touch on one of the first-ever Pink Floyd TV appearances in 1967, featuring a somewhat spaced out Syd Barrett on the band’s first trip to LA. I wish we could have talked about this a little bit more, but there was a lot of ground to cover in an hour.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how culture ebbs and flows, and Pat Boone has been woven into those shifts for decades. I’m a bit of a pop culture history nerd, so it was fascinating to hear all the social and historical moments Pat’s been adjacent to in his own way. Yes, we’ve got some fundamental ideological differences (and sure, a little awkwardness when Pat gets into his politics), but hey—we’re adults, we can handle it.

This conversation offers a real glimpse into the highs and complexities of a career lived under the spotlight, touching on cultural moments that helped shape the world of music and showbiz the way we know today.

Jason Fitz: The Juilliard-Trained Fiddler And Football Analyst

Épisode 4

jeudi 26 septembre 2024 • Durée 42:36

Send us a text

Jason Fitz has lived between two worlds—first as a child prodigy violinist, then as a football analyst. He’s a Juilliard-trained musician who played Carnegie Hall at just 10 years old. After dominating the music scene as the fiddle player and musical director for The Band Perry (remember their smash hit “If I Die Young”?) and playing on records that sold over 40 million units for artists like Tim McGraw and Matchbox 20, Jason decided to channel his relentless workhorse mentality into sports.

Now, Fitz is a multi-faceted, cross-platform sports and entertainment host at Yahoo Sports and Fox Sports Radio. Before this, he was a daily presence on ESPN Radio, one of the original hosts of SportsCenter on Snapchat, and regularly hosted shows like College Football Live and digital coverage for the NFL, College Football, and the NFL Draft.

A lifelong Oakland Raiders fan, Jason calls himself "an empowered fan"—someone who combines deep knowledge with passion for the game. When I interviewed him, he literally had gold records hanging behind him, a testament to his incredible music career.

And here’s something truly unique: Jason is one of the few, if only, people in the world with a vote for both the Grammy Awards and the Biletnikoff Award, which is given to the nation’s top college football receiver.

In this episode of The Mostly Occasionally Show, we dive into his incredible pivot from music to sports, his work ethic, and how he's thrived in both worlds. It’s an inspiring conversation with a guy who’s never stopped pushing himself—whether in the spotlight or behind the mic.

It’s an inspiring conversation with a guy who’s lived two very different dreams—and is still going strong.

Zedd on Secret Raves, His John Mayer Collab, and Finding His Telos

Épisode 3

mercredi 28 août 2024 • Durée 24:52

Send us a text

Zedd is back, and this time, he's on a mission to find his Telos. It’s a fancy ancient Greek word for your life's aim or ultimate purpose. The Stoics believed that discovering one’s Telos was the key to living a fulfilled and virtuous life—a philosophy that Zedd seems to embrace as he channels this ancient wisdom into his music.

Nearly a decade after his last album, the Grammy-winning producer returns with Telos, a record that’s all about chasing meaning and making music that matters. It hits streaming platforms on Friday 8/30. It's positioned to be one of the biggest electronic music releases of the year, sure to make cultural waves.

But don't worry, it's not all deep philosophy—there’s plenty of fun too. Zedd's been keeping busy with secret NYC raves in collaboration with 5 Gum® that brought him back to his underground roots.

He’s also teamed up with some music industry serious heavy hitters. There’s a collab with John Mayer on Telos that’s so smooth it practically melts off the speakers, and a daring cover of "Dream Brother" by the late, great Jeff Buckley (yes, really).

We also dive into Zedd’s experience watching Mayer perform with just one finger alongside Dead and Company at the Sphere in Las Vegas this summer. Plus, we chat about the epic rise of EDM from 2010 to 2014, a cultural moment that defined a generation of millennials and shaped Zedd’s career.

In this episode of The Mostly Occasionally Show, I sat down with Zedd to talk about the journey to finding his Telos, his latest adventures in music, and how it feels to create something that just might stand the test of time.

Jerry Ferrara: Celebrating 20 Years of HBO's 'Entourage'

Épisode 2

mardi 6 août 2024 • Durée 38:04

Send us a text

Twenty years ago, a little show about four guys navigating the highs and lows of Hollywood hit TV screens and changed the game forever. Entourage wasn't just a TV show; it was a cultural phenomenon, a love letter to friendship, ambition, and the often absurd world of showbiz.

If you're of a certain age, like me, I'm sure you'll never forget the classic HBO noise (officially called the "static angel"), then the distinct "oh yeah oh yeahs" of the Jane's Addiction theme song while Vinny Chase, Turtle, E, and Johnny Drama cruised down Hollywood Boulevard at night.

From 2004 to its last episode in 2011, all 96 episodes of the show were appointment television. It was the ultimate bro-bonding experience, a must-watch for anyone who loved the mix of ambition, humor, and cutthroat world of Hollywood. To those obsessed with it in its heydey, Entourage was more than a show; it was a lifestyle.

To celebrate the show's 20th anniversary, I talked with Jerry Ferrara, the actor legend behind Salvatore "Turtle" Assante. Jerry was fresh off a trip to LA, where he relived the show's glory days.

How? By cruising around in a new Cadillac Escalade, just like old times.

You can listen to the conversation as a podcast in the Apple Podcast player or on Spotify. Or read it below.

We covered a lot of ground in 40 minutes.

Wild times on set. James Cameron’s cameo giving Entourage street cred in Hollywood at a time when no one knew what to think of it. Jerry shared some unforgettable stories, like Bob Saget playing a raunchy and over-the-top version of himself, or the time a diva dog stormed off set during the iconic Season 5 "Tree Trippers" episode.

Del McCoury: A Conversation With A Bluegrass Legend

mercredi 26 juin 2024 • Durée 49:23

Send us a text

Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Mostly Occasionally Podcast, hosted by Brandon Wenerd, publisher of BroBible.com. This podcast exists to share interesting conversations, mostly because the guests have fascinating stories and occasionally because they’re featured on BroBible.com, the website I've been writing on for the last 15 years.

First up, we have the honor of chatting with the legendary Del McCoury, a cornerstone of bluegrass for over six decades. At 85, Del’s journey from a farm in York County, Pennsylvania, to the heights of bluegrass fame is nothing short of inspiring. Captivated by Earl Scruggs' banjo playing, Del picked up the banjo and guitar, eventually joining Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys in 1963. This pivotal moment set the stage for a career that has influenced countless musicians, from Jerry Garcia to Dierks Bentley.

In this episode, we dive into Del's remarkable life and career, discussing:

His early days in Pennsylvania and the Baltimore bluegrass scene.
The first time he saw Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs.
His time with Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys.
The evolution and timelessness of bluegrass.
Collaborations with artists like Billy Strings and Steve Earle.
Memorable encounters with Willie Nelson and Phish.

Del McCoury continues to inspire with the Del McCoury Band, alongside his sons Ronnie and Rob. They’ve just released their new album, 'Songs of Love and Life,' featuring covers of Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and Kenny Rogers, along with collaborations with next-gen talents like Molly Tuttle.

Tune in to hear Del's stories, his impact on the bluegrass genre, and what keeps him going after all these years. Thanks for listening and subscribing. Let’s get into it!
