On this edition of Hotline, Chef Paul Smith joins Dave to explore everything from kitchen dynamics in relationships to the progress on his new Italian eatery, Paulie’s. They dive into listener questions about beer cheese, oven steak methods, and how tariffs could impact restaurant prices and ingredient sourcing. Plus, Chef Paul reveals upcoming Capital Market cooking classes and how food shaped his 15-year marriage. Folksy, funny, and full of flavor—this segment serves up more than just great culinary conversation.

In this raucous roundtable edition of Buy Sell, Dave, Coop, Ryan, and Matt fire up the mics for a fast-paced ride through immersive vacation games inspired by The Game, Johnny Rotten’s very public band breakup, the hype behind MLB's torpedo bats, and whether a new James Bond game should let you choose your 007. Each topic spins into tangents both hilarious and oddly insightful—from fake abductions to Sean Bean mixups to the mechanics of digital Bonds. It’s one part pop culture debate, one part group therapy, and all signature chaos.

Grammy-winning artist and Mountain Stage host Kathy Mattea joins Dave Weekley on Hotline to share a heartwarming and hilarious backstage tale from her first road gig with Bobby Goldsboro — complete with World Series scores, Johnny Bench’s restaurant, and a polyester Reds jersey. They also preview upcoming Mountain Stage performances featuring Livingston Taylor, Al Stewart, Sweet Honey in the Rock, and more. From Riverfront Stadium to the Kodak Theatre, this segment is a music lover’s gem.
