All Over the Place
Elvis Presley may or may not have said God gave us music to bring us all together, but we’re still convinced the King and King of Kings weren’t far off in their desires to unite people. All Over the Place follows an eclectic format of guests and topics: music, movies, politics, sports, books, video games, etc. From many opinions across the spectrum, one podcast to host them all!!!
Listen on:
”I don’t care about our differences, the things which serve to divide us. I care about our similarities, the things which bring us together.”
CHARLES PAYNE
”Before we go any further, we gotta make something very clear: Metallica doesn’t give a shit. We don’t give a shit about the differences, okay? We care about the similarities. The fact that you’re here, we don’t care who you voted for, what you do or don’t eat, we don’t care what color your skin is, what you do for a job, we don’t care what you’ve done in the past!
What we do care about is the fact that we’re all together here, celebrating life with music. For me, you are Metallica family, all are welcome! Are you with us?!”

If you've been following Team AOTP's occasional freestyles, while it may seem fairly obvious the conversations lack a sense of structure, we actually powwow about our topics before we hit record. This week, however, we decided to roll with the truest sense of freestyle, none of us knowing what the others would bring to the table.
So, join the fellers as we explore leftist comics dipping their toes into less extreme waters; tribal mentalities on the left *and* right increasing the chasms of intellectual honesty and critical thinking; and the Oscars finally recognizing some ways to appeal to Middle America. C'mon along ... grab a cab if you're of The Replacements' "Talent Show" persuasion.

Author, columnist, NFL veteran, and 1982 NCAA football national champion Bill Contz visits with Team AOTP, recalling his days as a Nittany Lion and the honor of playing for legendary coach Joe Paterno; the inspiration behind his "When the Lions Roared" book; and the benefits and pitfalls for student-athletes facing the current college football landscape via Name/Image/Likeness and the approaching playoff expansion.

Truth warrior, savviest BS detector in the land, John Thompson's kryptonite: all applicable to media guru John Ziegler. Never a dull moment with the gloriously passionate Zig as he guides Team AOTP on a recap of his adventures with Penn State alums and administrators who, quite frankly, don't deserve his talents; his unusual yet very special relationship with fellow advocate for truth Franco Harris; and a unique encounter with future NBA star Dikembe Mutumbo while both attended Georgetown.

Novelist David Morrell graces Team AOTP with his encyclopedic cinematic and literary brain, breaking down a few of his most famous novels -- "First Blood," "Creepers," "The Brotherhood of the Rose" -- and their on-screen adaptations, as well as pointing out how he hopes to inspire young men and women with heroes and heroic mindsets in his work. We also took some fun sidetracks into a shared love of 35 and 70mm film prints, and how much he enjoyed his foray into writing for comic books, notably penning a memorably feral issue of "Wolverine."

Society Reviews' Jacob Smith stops by to drop words of wisdom on Hollywood's movie-making machine. Disney, fake-wokesters, and hypocritical celebs (but we repeat ourselves) all land in Jacob's sites, though he sees the successes of Top Gun: Maverick and TV's "Reacher" as glimmers of hope amongst the self-destruction. He also picks Star Wars over Indiana Jones as the franchise worthy of setting on the path to redemption. With no apologies (or royalties) to Ice Cube, Wicket, man. Wicket.

Second time a charm welcoming Vandoliers' Josh Fleming to AOTP and bless his sober heart for a jam-packed 34 minutes. Befitting the show's -- and his band's -- eclectic nature, we ran the gamut from Texas acts' predilections for songs involving booze to the wistful nostalgia behind one of Josh's first Americana-minded tunes. Too much fun with a guy who effortlessly flowed from fronting punk bands into the equally raucous Vandoliers, the conversation gloriously threw nods to NOFX, Flogging Molly, Johnny Cash, Blink 182, Lucero, Old 97's, and, yes, even Taylor Swift and Hanson. It's All Over the Place, folks. It's what we do.

Close but not quite as Josh unfortunately had to reschedule. As we await the new livestream recording date, guest-co-host (and AOTP veteran) Nick Boor from AZ's Vinyl Record Dude, Jim, and Eric serve as Vandoliers hype-men while also discussing favorite outdoor venues.
