Pro wrestling thrives on hatred. Two people wanting to beat each other up is the lifeblood of this crazy sport, and there doesn't seem to be enough of it nowadays. There is still plenty of hate and heat in the world of music, however. Nowhere is that more evident than with the diss track. On this episode, Andrew and first-time guest Rich Latta (One Nation Radio) play some of music's best and most brutal diss tracks, with musicians taking aim at other musicians, critics, former lovers, and other unfortunate targets. Artists played include Kendrick Lamar, Carly Simon, Megan Thee Stallion, Sonic Youth, Queen, Nine Inch Nails, Pusha T, LL Cool J, John Lennon, and many more. Leave the melodrama and the cinema at home, because this episode is bringing the heat!Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent PartnerTwitter: @MusicoftheMat / @RichLatta32Bluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrew / @richlattaOne Nation Radio: redcircle.com/shows/one-nation-radioRich's YouTube: youtube.com/@RichLattaRich's merch

Tyler & Fred have a come to Jesus discussion. AEW's TV ratings have hit meaningful lows that are fair to classify as "dramatic" or, at least, "concerning."

Plus a catch up on the news, and Fred's brief thoughts on C2 matches thrown in.If you're an AEW homer and don't like to listen to negative things about the company, this ain't the one for you.

Do you feel like the direction of your life is not going the way you want it? Are you tired of other people dictating your actions? Do you just not want to do something? Well, say the words "That's not gonna work for me, brother" and exert your creative control! It's a power not only seen in pro wrestling, but all avenues of entertainment. On this episode, Andrew and first-time guest Paul Wedding focus on the music topic most relatable to creative control: singer-songwriters. They "control the creative," so to speak: writing, performing, and sometimes even producing their own songs. Artists played include Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, The Mountain Goats, St. Vincent, John Prine, Lissie, Colter Wall, Peter Gabriel, Jenny Lewis, Chris Isaak, and many more.
