    Bait And Switch Music - XTC - English Settlement - Tom Schuler and Mitch Teich
    2026/07/06
    Another Bait and Switch Music Review with our esteemed panel of CYCLING experts?? Yes, you heard that right! Cycling champion Tom Schuler picks our album and he's joined by Mitch Teich as we review the 1982 album English Settlement by XTC! We start out asking Tom why he picked this particular record and dive into the band's deliberate transition from a hard-driving commercial sound to a more "pastoral" vibe. We chat about leader Andy Partridge’s struggles with stage fright and Valium addiction, which famously led the band to retire from touring at the height of their success. We also discuss the band's Beatles and Kinks influences, the ancient history behind the Uffington White Horse cover art, the "quirky" nature of the band, including Partridge’s unique "yelping" vocal style, the depth of their symbolic lyrics, their psychedelic side project The Dukes of Stratosphear, our favorite tracks like "Senses Working Overtime" and much, much more! Enjoy!

    S9 E8 - Comedian and Writer Haji Outlaw
    2026/07/19
    This week we talk to Chicago-based comedian Haji Outlaw! We chat about how Haji got his start in stand-up after skipping a Roots concert for an open mic and his perspective on being a stronger writer than a performer. Haji shares stories about coming up in the Chicago scene with future stars like Hannibal Buress and TJ Miller, the strategy behind developing a "locked-in" set, and the nuances of playing different rooms across the city. We also dive into the art of handling hecklers, why bachelorette parties are a comedian's nightmare, and what it’s like to perform for a massive crowd at the Great Lakes Naval Base. All that and much, much more! Enjoy!

    S9E8A - Haji Outlaw - Life in LA
    2026/07/27
    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!

    B&S Movies - Owning Mahowny - Joe Kay and Scott Cvecko
    2026/08/03
    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!

    B&S Movies - Thief - Joe Kay and Scott Cvecko
    2026/06/22
    This week we're doing a movie review with two guests who are normally on our music podcasts, Joe Kay and Scott Cvecko. It was Joe's turn to pick the movie and he chose Michael Mann’s 1981 directorial debut, Thief. We start by hearing from Joe K about why he chose this movie, and we chat about how it was the first of many films with the "Mann aesthetic" which is characterized by blue-tinted nights, a synth pulse, and the archetype of the professional loner. We also discuss the film’s realism, noting how Michael Mann hired actual professional thieves as consultants and even had star James Caan train to use the heavy equipment on screen! Along the way, we have a "spirited debate" about the film's deliberate pacing, its controversial "Rambo-esque" climax, and a particularly strange scene involving a mob boss’s wife that left us baffled! Of course, we share our final letter grades on the film and much, much more! Enjoy!
