On the 48th edition of Pop Goes the Classics, Steve Riddle, Andy Atherton, and Mirandia Berthold hit the arcade and discuss the 52nd Disney Animated film, Wreck-It Ralph. Join the trio as they discuss the legacy and nostalgia of the arcade, the various references and Easter eggs in the film, the numerous and clever puns, Ralph wanting to be a hero and not the villain, the Nice-landers not being very nice, hopping between the various games, the budding romance between Felix and Calhoun, feeling sympathy for Vanellope, laying breadcrumbs throughout the film to set up various plot points, the danger the Cy-Bugs pose, the surprise reveal of King Candy being Turbo, the big race and battle at the end, and where the film ranks amongst the other Disney films. So join Steve, Andy, and Mirandia as they try not to wreck it and continue their trek through the Disney Animated Canon.

As the number of regular season games left shrink more and more, we see the chances of playoff success slip and slide and the tanks are getting ready to roll out. Things might be down, but Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are back after one week to look and see what is up (and down). The Phoenix Suns' season is likely doomed, but whose fault is it really. The Sixers are also staring down an abyss after shutting down Joel Embiid for the season, but why does Riche think their long-term title hopes are not dead yet? Is there a limit to how much control head coaches in no risk of being fired can really have over their superstars after the Mike Budenholzer-Devin Booker fiasco? Riche and Adam also talk about the muddled Western Conference standings, the California teams being in their honeymoon phases, the Cavs beating the Celtics in Boston, and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 335 with the NBA-Team!

The All-Star break is over, and it's time for everyone in the league to get to work and maybe get some overtime. Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are done with their own two-week break and are clocking back in to check on which teams are rising, falling, tanking, and flunking as we enter the last two months of the regular season. Are the Phoenix Suns, the most expensive roster in the NBA, already doomed by our accounts? How devastating is (or could be) for Victor Wembenyama being shut down by the Spurs after a blood clot issue? How are the Brooklyn Nets somehow winning games? Why does Riche have such a huge beef with Adam Silver after his cowardly answer about not intervening in the Luka Doncic trade? Riche and Adam also revisit their over-under win total predictions, who will win the Defensive Player of the Year award, the meaningless All-Star weekend, and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 334 with the NBA-Team!

In the fifty-fith episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes Jeremy Nichols to discuss which Best TV Series Finales deserve a place on their respective lists. Is M*A*S*H* a no-brainer? What about Justified? Does Breaking Bad grab a spot? Does The Shield or WCW Monday Nitro deserve a place?
After that, they discuss which Worst TV Series Finales will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Seinfeld shouldn’t get a spot? Will Roseanne be included? Is Lost in the conversation? What about ER or Game of Thrones?
