Meaningful Games & Alumni Weekend Energy

It’s a big one for Juniata hoops: Catholic on Wednesday, Alumni Weekend vs. Wilkes on Saturday, and zero room for coasting. The crew opens with a great listener question on what alumni should feel when they come back—Coach Curley’s answer says it all: play hard, play with heart, play for each other. From there, it’s a look back at last week’s results, highlighted by a 62–43 defensive rock fight win over Susquehanna and a tough road loss at Scranton that sharpens the focus heading into a brutal stretch. Biz hands out the game balls, the playoff picture comes into view, and Coach Nick Hager joins to preview Alumni Weekend—full schedule, postgame plans, and the always-heated Team Blue vs. Team Gold alumni game, complete with the drafting of new faces that adds fresh fuel to an already loud rivalry. Meaningful games, familiar faces, new blood, and a program that still looks and feels like Juniata basketball.

James McMillan, Esq. on Artist Leverage, Deal Architecture, and Owning the Long Game

Send us a text Jeffrey Sledge sits down with James McMillan, Esq. — entertainment attorney, label executive, and CEO of Art @ War Records (in partnership with Warner Records) — for a real conversation about power, ownership, and how leverage actually works in music. James breaks down the mindset behind creative dealmaking, why chasing fees isn’t the same as building equity, and how his path evolved from entertainment law into management and label ownership. Along the way, he shares stories from the Swishahouse era, building with MGK, navigating high-stakes negotiations, and what artists need to understand about streaming, hits, and the next wave of AI-driven rights issues. He also speaks on his leadership with BMAC and The Living Legends Foundation — and why protecting creators requires both cultural fluency and boardroom strategy.

Preparation Over Momentum

The Eagles are heating up at the right time—and the guys can barely believe what they’re saying out loud: two big wins, a road win streak, and four wins in the last five as Juniata improves to 7–10 overall and 4–6 in the Landmark. Before the hoops breakdown, the show takes a wildly entertaining detour when a listener asks about a Netflix free-solo skyscraper climb in Taiwan. Tom admits he couldn’t sleep afterward, compares it to a doorless-helicopter shoot over Manhattan, and the crew debates risk-taking, anxiety, and whether any of this makes someone qualified to scale Founders Hall. Landmark Conference socks also make an appearance… as elite snow-shoveling gear. Back on the court, the guys break down a 66–49 win at Lycoming led by Jaden Bilger, followed by a statement 75–72 road win at Drew—one of the program’s biggest victories in recent years. Juniata handled pressure, dominated the paint early, and never flinched when Drew made its runs. Biz hands out game balls, celebrates full stat sheets, and continues his undefeated run as executive producer. Coach Curley lays out the mindset for the stretch run: preparation over momentum, discipline over motivation, as Juniata enters the gauntlet—Susquehanna at home (blue-out, pack the gym) and a tough road test at Scranton. Big games, real stakes, and a team starting to look like itself at exactly the right time. Wear blue. Pack the gym. Defend the house. And if you’re shoveling snow in Landmark socks… we want pics.

Jay Paterno: Happy Valley, Hard Truths, and Blitzed!

Where you’re from doesn’t just shape you — it frames how you understand power, loyalty, and loss. Bun B is Houston to the core. Jeffrey Sledge carries New York City wherever he goes. And for Tom Frank, everything starts in State College, Pennsylvania — a town where fall Saturdays felt sacred, Penn State football felt pure, and Happy Valley felt like a place untouched by the rest of the world. Today's guest, Jay Paterno, grew up at the center of that belief system. As a former Penn State assistant coach, trustee, writer, and the son of the late Joe Paterno, Jay lived inside one of the most revered cultures in college sports — and then watched it unravel in public. He speaks openly about legacy, leadership, media narratives, and what it costs to stand inside a storm you can’t control. Not from a distance, but from inside his own family. This isn’t just a backward-looking conversation. Jay takes the same clear-eyed approach to the modern game — NIL, the transfer portal, revenue sharing, gambling, donor influence — and explains why college athletics is no longer what it pretends to be. His new book - BLITZED! The All-Out Pressure of College Football's New Era - pulls back the curtain on a system stretched to its limits, where pressure, money, and identity collide every Saturday. This episode isn’t about defending the past. It’s about context, consequence, and where the game is headed. "Unglossy" is produced and distributed by Merrick Studio and hosted by Bun B, Tom Frank and Jeffrey Sledge.

Mute Button Mayhem & Must-Win Mindset

It’s been a full-blown Juniata hoops roller coaster—complete with birthday banter, casino misfortune, winter travel chaos, and a broadcast that somehow forgot it had sound. Tom Frank, Biz, and head coach Greg Curley open the show celebrating Biz’s birthday before diving into a great listener mailbag question: If the Palestra were closed next season, and the show had full control, where should the Landmark Conference host a weekend showcase—any venue, anywhere? From there, it’s all basketball. The crew relives the electric Palestra win, breaks down a statement upset over Elizabethtown at the Nest, and unpacks a frustrating road loss at Moravian that featured delayed travel, strange rhythms, and Tom going full customer-service warrior on FloSports until the volume magically returned (discount secured, dignity intact). Coach Curley delivers a candid breakdown of what’s holding this team back—and what could unlock a real run down the stretch: edge, focus, and consistency. Game balls are handed out, Cooper Sharp cheese continues its undefeated season, and the guys preview two massive road games with the message crystal clear: stop getting in your own way, handle your business, and bring the edge—every night.
