• “Apocalypto, Amazing Movie” — A Real Compliment Buried in a Mel Gibson News Segment

    During a news segment about Mel Gibson’s ASL-interpreter controversy on episode 1900, the conversation turned to his track record as a director; co-host Rob Dew gave Apocalypto a genuine, unprompted compliment: “What’s interesting is that as much hate as he gets, he always, pretty much every movie that he directs is just awesome. It’s amazing. The Apocalypto, amazing movie. Whether it’s historically accurate all the way or not, it doesn’t matter.”

    It’s incidental to a tabloid-controversy news item rather than a deliberate “go watch this” recommendation, but the praise itself is specific and genuine — worth a Quick Mention for Apocalypto fans and the curious alike.

    Amazon: Available — Apocalypto (Blu-ray).

  • Rob’s Real Travel Tip: Skip Bourbon Street, Go to Frenchmen Street

    Guest co-host Rob Dew, fresh off a New Orleans gig, gave Adam Curry a detailed, specifically framed recommendation on episode 1900: “I do have a good travel tip. If you’re going to New Orleans, a lot of people go to Bourbon Street… that’s probably not a good place to go anymore.”

    Instead: “you cross Esplanade and you hit Frenchman. Now, Frenchmen is where the locals go to listen to music… there’s probably 10, 15 different bars there. Most of them are no cover… amazing musicians, all local, just kicking butt… If you’re sick of cover bands, go to Frenchmen street and you will get literally the best music in the French quarter. Hands down.”.

  • K&C Cattle Hometown Meats Is How Adam Actually Sources His Beef

    While walking through how commodity beef gets processed by the big four (JBS, Tyson, Cargill, and National Beef), Adam Curry contrasted that with his own supplier on episode 1899: “We buy our beef from K&C Cattle Hometown Meats — they have a small, owner-operated processing plant on premises. That’s the way to do it.”

    It’s a real, specific, genuine recommendation for a small operator rather than a big-box supply chain — the kind of thing worth knowing if you’re looking to buy beef the way Adam does.

    Searching “K&C Cattle Hometown Meats” turns up K&C Cattle and Hometown Meats, two separate businesses.

  • Rick Beato’s Channel Got a Mention for the Sean Lennon Interview

    Adam Curry mentioned catching Sean Lennon on Rick Beato’s show during episode 1899, describing Beato as a guy who “has a studio and… has been recording and recording music forever”—more YouTuber than traditional podcaster.

    Rick Beato is a real, well-known music-production and theory channel, and interviews many well-known musicians. He’s famous for breaking down terrific songs and albums.

  • Adam Genuinely Enjoys the All-In Podcast, Says So to Its Own Co-Host

    Talking tariffs and trade with guest Jason Calacanis on episode 1899, Adam Curry offered up an unprompted compliment: “this is where we get into your wheelhouse because I really enjoy the All-In Pod.” All-In is a real, widely-followed tech, finance, and politics podcast that Calacanis co-hosts.

    It turned into a fun bit right after: Adam caught himself using the word “pod” — “I can’t believe I called it that, because I hate the word pod, and I think it should be banned. And you guys say it all the time on the pod, on the pod, on the pod.” Jason volleyed back with a deadpan “It’s colloquialism. It’s a podcast,” which got a laugh. It’s a good enough exchange that the show actually used it as the cold open at the very top of the episode before circling back to it in context.

    Search “All-In Podcast” wherever you get podcasts.

  • “Operation Hail Mary” Got a Lukewarm But Real Thumbs-Up

    Adam Curry mentioned watching the Ryan Gosling sci-fi film Operation Hail Mary on the flight to Rotterdam ahead of episode 1899: “Not bad. It’s 2.5 hours.” Mixed, but a genuine reaction rather than a complaint, and specific enough to be worth a note for fans deciding whether to watch it.

    Amazon: Project Hail Mary (Blu-ray). Note: the film may release under the title “Project Hail Mary,” based on the Andy Weir novel.
