31:05Vicki Sokolik refuses to be an Ostrich. Her son brought to her attention the crisis of unhoused youth — youth unhoused, not living with a parent/guardian, and not in foster care — in America, and she has been fighting to support this vulnerable population every since. Most active in Tampa Bay, Florida, Vicki is the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Starting Right, Now, which removes barriers for unaccompanied homeless youth to cultivate long-term well-being and self-sufficiency. She is also the author of the new book, “If You See Them: Young, Unhoused, and Alone in America.” Vicki Sokolik joined host Jay Ruderman to discuss the many ways unhoused youth fall through the cracks in our society, how her organization helps them, and also how to build trust with people who could use your help.

×Episode 310 - Special Guests: Noel Lawrence and Burke Roberts Cinema is pretty close to being dead. We've hit a stalemate where multiplexes only play caped crusader films, the streamers love their ripped-from-the-headlines docuserials, and network television is a vast wasteland of mundane competition reality shows. Lots of vacuous, hollow paeans to escapism and vanity. Warhol was not wrong, every asshole is getting their fifteen minutes. Somewhere in this miasma of dreck exists the blistering heart of the pure, the transfixed, the recalcitrant filmmaker feverishly concocting pieces of art in direct opposition to the moribund mainstream. Utilizing the short form, these artists showcase more demonstrative depth of depraved deliciousness in less than a quarter of the experience than their overstuffed audience-baiting counterparts. The Slamdance Film Festival itself has always been the thorn in the side of Sundance. It's the bastard stepchild the predominant festival never asked for but reluctantly shares in the same time and place. As Slamdance secured its rightful place in film festival legitimacy it was always looking for new ways to demonstrate their outsider existence. In steps our two guests; filmmakers Noel Lawrence and Burke Roberts. Ten years ago, Burke and Noel, two very different humans, shared a love of film and art of an unnatural order and somehow convinced those at Slamdance to start their own short film series. They called it the Department of Anarchy and within that span of time it became the most popular and raucous event of the whole festival each year screening the vanguard of modern short form cinema. So, pull down that bottle of Jame-o, have your pack of American Spirit Yellows ready, chew on some shrooms, top it off with Special K and molly and inhale the history of the Department of Anarchy with our very special guests Burke and Noel.

Episode 309 - Special Guest: John Pirruccello The Buzzards are big fans of the acting profession and we're especially fond of character actors...the best kind. It's even better when those people are even cooler in real life. Take the career of John Pirruccello. He started out doing voiceover work for TV and radio commercials, video games, cartoons and movies. He leads a weekly improv group while also performing in sketch comedies, theater and television and movie roles. He also did stand-up all around Los Angeles. On stage he was in Horton Foote's (Best Screenplay Oscars for To Kill a Mockingbird, Tender Mercies) play Harrison, Texas . Davdi Mamet caught that and went on to cast him in many roles including in his HBO movie Phil Spector . He also worked with Mamet's daughter, Clara Mamet, in a play and a film. He was in the third season of David Lynch's Showtime series "Twin Peaks" and in the hit HBO sitcoms "Barry" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and was in the bigbudget feature film Godzilla vs. Kong. He has also had an extraordinary life outside of the entertainment world. He was a cab driver, has a degree in Italian, was a military brat as a youngster and has lived in many places including San Antonio, TX, Northern Virginian, Southern Vermont, Amherst, MA, Siena, Italy, San Francisco and Los Angeles. One of the more important jobs he does is volunteer to help children with special needs. He has a unique approach from his acting training that allows young people to be heard, be confident and be focused. So, wipe off your grease paint, take a hot bath, wrap yourself in some warm pajamas and relax with a glass of wine while Nate, George and Roger get to hear the skinny on all things acting, Mamet, teaching children, and what happens when you hang out with Helen Mirren on this episode of FIVE DOLLAR BUZZ.

BBC Radio 4 have had a game called "Desert Island Discs" since 1942, where they ask various celebrities, athletes, politicians and pundits to imagine being stranded on an deserted island and they can only keep with them the following items; five pieces of music, a book and a luxury item. They already get to have the Complete Works of Shakespeare and the Bible. The rest is all theirs to imagine. Well. The Buzzards do it almost like that. But we've already read all the Shakespeare we need and we ain't got no time for anything biblical. You see, on our island, we have just time for the simple pleasures...cannabis, booze and, well, golf. The whole team is here tonight with Nate Buzzard leading the charge.

In this episode, The Buzzards take a deep dive into the world of fantasy football and gambling. In order to really sell this topic you need an expert.

His podcast has been downloaded more than five million times and offers market-moving DFS analysis each week. He won multiple Fantasy Sports Writers Association awards while at Rotoworld before focusing on DFS full-time in 2015. Not only is Adam a DFS analyst, but he also plays nearly year round, specializing in cash games. He is one of the founders of the website Establish the Run ( establishtherun.com ), where multiple experts break down fantasy sports. This past year he won $250,000 during week 16 of the NFL season. That really caught our attention.

1:02:29Welcome to the one year anniversary of FIVE DOLLAR BUZZ. This is our 46th episode and we're happy that it drops on the very same day as our first. What do you think you know about mushrooms? You know there are mushrooms you can eat, mushrooms that make you high and mushrooms that can kill you. What do you know about the medicinal properties of mushrooms? Chaga mushrooms help aging, inflammation, and lowering cholesterol. Lion's Mane helps with cognition, memory and concentration. Reishi helps with sleep, anxiety, depression and focus. There is a Pacific-Northwest company that features prominently in mushroom cultivation and creating various products including tinctures, sprays, gummies and raw. Their name is Hyphae Wellness ( www.gethyphae.com ) and they are a leading non-pharmaceutically sponsored manufacturer and supplier of all of these wonderful products and MORE... Hyphae Wellness has a sister company called TAO Gardens ( www.taogardens.com ), a sustainable, holistic, no-till marijuana grower. As it says, they also cultivate, manufacture and supply various strains of high-grade cannabis. Now, put the two together...and you have a wellness kit that delivers medicinal mushrooms with a solid buzz to help ease you into whatever direction your body and mind want to go. What got our immediate attention is that the mushroom helps the cannabis act quicker in gummies, from what is usually 45 minutes to five minutes. Hell yes. No more eating seven weed cookies because "you don't feel it yet," after you ate the first two. That'll teach you. So, finish your creamy mushroom pasta, swallow a few gummies, kick your feet up and take a listen as we talk with COO and Co-Founder of both Hyphae Wellness and TAO Gardens, Mr. Nick Ciufo, as he talks about all things mushrooms and weed, about how his company does it better, the unique delivery system they have in place and where they plan on going in the future.

1:10:11Putin just invaded Ukraine. It's confounding, frightening, a dick move and utter bullshit. The Buzzards want to get to the bottom of this. We need help because the media out there has so many conflicting messages it's difficult to figure out just what in the holy fuck is going on. When in doubt, we reach out to our most trusted sources. In this case, we have someone that is directly involved with the conflict and has the most precise and stone cold take on it. All of us are on this episode but we let one source lay it all out. We just listen. And so should you. Adrian Bonenberger returns for his second appearance on FDB. He is an expert on the dynamics of the armed conflict levied on Ukraine by Vladimir Putin. He is a retired US Army Officer that has served in a variety of capacities and has led soldiers in combat on two deployments. Additionally, he has served as Field Coordinator for the Ukraine Center for Civilians in Conflict as well as a news editor at The Ukraine Business Journal. This is the definitive discussion on this subject matter. He also mentions others we should listen to including Nolan Peterson (@nolanwpeterson), Vladislov Davidson (The Odessa Review), Christopher Miller (@ChristopherJM), Jack Crosby (Rolling Stone), Matt Taibbi (@matttaibbi), Gary Brecher & Mark Ames (War Nerd) and Svetlana Alexievich (@SAlexievich).

1:11:07On this episode of FIVE DOLLAR BUZZ, the Buzzards rip it up with venerable character actor and musician James Duval who has had one helluva career. His career starts with what would become a lifelong cinematic relationship. His work with filmmaker Gregg Araki has spawned four feature films, one MTV pilot and one television series including TOTALLY F***ED UP, THE DOOM GENERATION, NOWHERE, KABOOM, "This Is How the World Ends" and "Now Apocalypse". Jimmy would go on to a career that spans over 30 years and over 175 credits. Some of his other most known films include early trangressive masterwork MOD FUCK EXPLOSION, INDEPENDENCE DAY (as Randy Quaid's son), Doug Liman's GO, the GONE IN 60 SECONDS remake (with Nic Cage and Angelina Jolie), SLC PUNK and it's sequel PUNK'S DEAD: SLC PUNK 2, the Sundance horror film MAY, he won an award for the film THE DOE BOY, SUSHI GIRL, TALES OF HALLOWEEN, and, most recently, I, CHALLENGER (see episode 302!). There is one movie that he can never quite shake. It was a small Sundance film that rolled out to deathly box office numbers but over time has steadily become one of the most well-known cult films of all time. That, of course, is DONNIE DARKO where he plays Frank the Rabbit. Then there is the music side of Jimmy. As a guitarist he led a band called Antoneus Maximus & The Nuthouze Band and played in another called Gene Wilder with fellow filmmakers Brian McGuire and Bret Roberts. He associated strongly with jangle pop band The Jazz Butcher and worked with David J from Bauhaus and Love & Rockets.

Award-winning photographer Brent Broza shares the impact that growing up within the twin countercultures of hardcore punk and surfing had on him and helped shape his future career as an artist. Brent started by photographing his friends in bands and his friends surfing. Eventually he would get paid for it and would go on to photograph globally recognized musicians such as Jack Johnson, Descendents, Pennywise, Blink-182 and artists Shepard Fairey and Greg "Craola" Simkins just to name a few. In 2016, Brent won the World Surf League’s “Biggest Paddle Award” by capturing the photo of Aaron Gold’s Guinness World Record wave of 63 feet at Jaws in Maui. The wave was documented as being the largest wave ever to be paddled into by a surfer. His blurred landscape photographs, particularly of sunsets and ocean fronts, have been featured in many magazines and gallery exhibitions and have been put on public display as large-printed frescos in his hometown of Manhattan Beach.

1:19:11We are all driven by the notion of fate. Some believe that fate is inevitable, while others believe that fate is what you make of it. And then there are those who believe that fate is given a push by luck. Some seem to have all the luck while others were born under the proverbial bad sign. On this episode of FIVE DOLLAR BUZZ, the Buzzards chat it up with two people that made a movie about the pursuit of good luck and the extremes of which the central character will go to achieve it. I, CHALLENGER is a stoner comedy with flourishes of horror, thriller, sci-fi, absurdism and a lil bit of romance. It stars James Duval (THE DOOM GENERATION, DONNIE DARKO, SLC PUNK) as Sid, a man-child who plays video games all day and sells weed, and is about to be evicted. In desperation, he gets his newfound gaming buddy Logan (played by Coy Stewart) to help him bury himself with a livestream video for 24 hours. It's an idea he saw online that was seemingly successful for some Russians. Let's just say, nothing really goes as planned. Co-starring Tina Majorino (WATERWORLD, NAPOLEON DYNAMITE), ground-breaking rapper MC Lyte and legendary comic Margaret Cho, the film is a high-wire act, full of surprises and plenty of shenanigans. You can find the film on all VOD platforms including Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Google Play, Vudu, etc. We are lucky to have Writer-Director Paul Boyd and Co-Writer Kara Scobey Brown with us on this episode. Paul is a heralded music video and commercial director who has worked with such artists as Shania Twain, INXS, Blind Melon, Sting, Tina Turner, Lionel Richie, Backstreet Boys, deadmau5, Bryan Adams, Jamiroquai, Lenny Kravitz, Seal, Digable Planets, just to name a few. He directed his first feature film, 2008's VICIOUS CIRCLE, a tragic punk Latino love story set in Venice, California. The film won Best Picture at 2008 HBO New York International Latino Film Festival, the Audience Award at the 2008 Orlando International Film Festival and Best Director at the 2009 Downtown Film Festival - Los Angeles. Kara is a seasoned veteran in many facets of film and television production including writing and production managing for Lady Gaga for four years. That includes many of her music videos and television specials, such as "A Very Gaga Thanksgiving" with Tony Bennett. With her production company Electric Soup she produced the series "The Greatest Event in Television History" for Adult Swim with Paul Rudd, Kathryn Hahn, Jon Hamm, Adam Scott, Amy Poehler. She also produced the docuseries "Sex on//" for HBO. So roll up a fatty, light 'er up and take a stroll with Kara, Paul and the Buzzards as we talk about the making of I, CHALLENGER, their respective careers, the soon to be released film WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY made during the pandemic, a little bit of music and the films we all love.

1:36:44Year end specials are for the birds. Remember those holiday special shows in the 70s and 80s when networks like ABC or CBS would throw their B-list actors from their shitty sitcoms together in amazingly awful skits, toss in a few "hip" up-and-coming musicians like Captain & Tennille or Pepsi-disco-cocaine boy Leif Garrett as they sing the standard holiday crap and have the whole affair be an excuse to try and salvage the sagging ratings of moribund TV shows that were written in crayon on a napkin in the first place? Well, welcome to the FDB version of that! Except we take our cue from that old standard bearer of holiday tradition, Dickens's "A Christmas Carol". Roger as Christmas Past eulogizes the various folks we lost throughout the year; George as Christmas Present talks cold turkey about current events and Pete as Christmas Future dreamily envisions the future of FIVE DOLLAR BUZZ. Leading the show like a Dickensian boss is, of course, Nate, who stands in as our very own abused and underpaid Bob Cratchit. This episode is not especially nostalgic (leave that claptrap for Norman Rockwell's pandering to the American people to sell more Coca-Cola) but we do give an expletive-laden, free-form frivolity to the festivities (think BAD SANTA) as we wax on about the year 2021, the guests and episodes we've had on and all of the artwork Nate has put into it.

1:04:53Jerad W. Alexander is a writer, who's work has appeared in Rolling Stone, Esquire and other notable print publications. He is the author of the recently released book "Volunteers: Growing Up in the Forever War". Mr. Alexander served as a U.S. Marine during the peak years of the Global War on Terror from 1998 to 2006. His military service took him to Iraq, East Africa and the Mediterranean region. Prior to his deployment to Iraq, Alexander was part of a chemical/biological threat response unit based in Washington DC. In the aftermath of the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon, this special unit was tasked with responding to several high profile incidents associated with Anthrax and Ricin. The DC sniper was also an active threat during Alexander's time in the U.S. capital region, causing additional levels of stress and uncertainty amongst the military community. On this episode on FDB, our guest reflects on his time growing up on various military bases throughout the U.S. including Utah, California and Georgia. We also discuss the heavy influence of 1980s motion pictures such as Platoon and Full Metal Jacket on GenX. Alexander goes into detail about his new book and other current political events that continue to evolve. With the GWOT ceremoniously finished, Volunteers allows readers a chance to look back at a complicated and violent time in human history, as told by a significant individual who lived it up close and personal.…

59:53"The Simpsons" is probably the most famous American television series in history. It's the cultural landmark equivalent to STAR WARS, Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer," and Michael Jackson's "Thriller." It's had 33 seasons. Only news shows, NFL programming, soap operas and "The Tonight Show" have been on longer. The show was developed by the legendary Matt Groening along with Oscar-winning filmmaker James L. Brooks and the multi-talented Sam Simon (who passed away in 2015 and his contributions to the world are sorely missed). Along the way they hired many fantastic writers, producers and showrunners including Conan O'Brien, John Swartzwelder, Jon Vitti, Al Jean, etal. Somewhere along the way they received a script called "Marge Gets a Job" from up and coming writers Josh Weinstein and Bill Oakley. They were hired as permanent writers and would be producers and showrunners for the seventh and eighth seasons and continue on for a total of six seasons. Weinstein would win three Emmys for his efforts. Weinstein and Oakley would go on to develop the problematic "Mission Hill" and be consulting producers on hit show "Futurama" and producers on "The Mullets." They went their separate ways and Weinstein went back to "Futurama," winning another Emmy. He went on to create and write for the shows "Strange Hill High" and "Disenchantment." The Buzzards are excited to welcome Josh Weinstein to the fold as he deep dives on his illustrious career, all things "Simpsons," Sonic Youth, and whatever pops into his fervent, hilarious and deliciously wicked mind.
