In this episode, Riley Reed  and Wifey discuss the mask situation briefly. Also Mike Tyson is fighting a shark and now it's the Washington Football Team? They get into conspiracy theories, what the actual definition of a conspiracy theory is and some of the science behind them, play a game of "conspiracy theory or not", and discuss whether they believe any of these theories themselves.  At the end of the show, Riley and Wifey have some new music suggestions for you too!

RILED UP: ON MY RADAR PLAYLIST

This week, I chatted with my friend and lead singer of The Unlikely Candidates, Kyle Morris, a band who had a really great year in 2019 with a fantastic single, "Novocaine" which spent some time as the number one song on the Billboard Alternative Airplay charts. The band was billed on some major festivals for 2020 like Bonnaroo, Hang Out Fest, and Firefly until the COVID-19 pandemic shut all of that down. We discuss what it's like for a band on the rise to be going through quarantine. They've been doing livestream concerts on Instagram and Facebook on Wednesdays, called "Flatten The Hump Day". We also talk about what he's reading during quarantine, a new song they just recently released called "High Low", that he recorded in his closet, and Kyle lets us know some bands he's listening to during quarantine as well.

This is a special episode of "RILED UP". With everything that has been happening in this country lately, I felt compelled to address BLM (Black Lives Matter) I don't feel this is a political issue, but rather a social one, and I have a platform that I should be using. So I am using my platform to amplify at least one black voice. I invite you to listen to the stories of my friend Josh Marin a black actor on the Broadway tour of "Book Of Mormon." It is my hope that you glean something from this and maybe you will better understand why we are saying "Black Lives Matter". Thank you Josh for sharing your story. 

We did it! We made a whole season of "RILED UP!...". In this final episode of season 1, we talk more about the coronavirus and COVID-19 and some of the crazy stories to come from it. Also we talk about adapting to this new world. Wifey returns once again to guest host. I talk about how I almost lost her wedding ring down the drain, and we have some new music for you to check out, alt, rock, pop, and whatever Wifey's pick is. Thank you for joining us on this "RILED UP" journey from the time it was WEEKLY WTF to the re-name and everything in between! See ya in Season 2. As always be sure to like subscribe and rate the podcast and follow the pod on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!

Wow! I can't believe we thought 2019 was crazy. 2020 literally said "Hold my coronavirus"! Yep Coronavirus/COVID-19 has the world doing some bonkers things, and we talk about that, and the effect it has had on sports. I miss my sports. Also I can't believe it, but Tom Brady is no longer on The New England Patriots! Yeah 2020 has been nuts, to say the least!
