  • The Dick Buttons Interviews - Fenix - Round 2

    🔥🎙️ FENIX IS BACK — AND ROUND TWO IS ABOUT TO GET WILD! 🎙️🔥

    That’s right — FENIX returns to The Dick Buttons Interviews for his SECOND appearance, and this time we’re going even deeper!

    Fenix is a creator who refuses to stay inside one box. Music, visuals, storytelling, digital creation, games, technology, crazy ideas and whatever comes next — Fenix Studio is where creativity gets turned loose.

    But a LOT has happened since the last time he sat down with Dick Buttons.

    🔥 What has changed since his first appearance?
    🎸 Where is the music heading next?
    🤖 How is A.I. changing the way creators make music, videos and art?
    🎮 What happens when creativity crosses over into games and interactive projects?
    🎥 What goes into building the Fenix Studio universe?
    💥 And what new projects does Fenix have waiting in the wings?

    And because it’s The Dick Buttons Interviews, you already know we’re not stopping at the safe questions.

    We’ll talk creativity, inspiration, experimentation, the good and bad of A.I., building an audience, taking chances, what he’s learned along the way — and probably venture completely off the rails at least once!

    PLUS… I put Fenix in the hot seat for the LIGHTNING ROUND! ⚡

    He’s been here before.

    But FENIX — ROUND TWO is going somewhere completely different.

  • Episode 17 - “Bernie’s, Belichick, the Bronx and Booze”

    This week, Dick is coming in HOT… and somehow things only get weirder from there.

    First up, politics completely aside, Dick has one question about Senator Mitch McConnell:

    JUST WHAT IN THE WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S IS GOING ON HERE?!?!

    Dick actually finds himself feeling some empathy for the Senator while wondering what the hell everyone around him is doing.

    Then, because apparently we haven’t suffered enough confusion for one episode…

    BILL BELICHICK.

    Dick gets a look at Bill’s latest… well… LOOK… and immediately has questions.

    WTF IS GOING ON THERE?! 

     THEN IT’S TIME TO PANIC ABOUT THE YANKEES!

    The postseason push is getting serious, Aaron Judge just came back after missing 82 games… and now he’s leaving another game?!

    Is the Fat Lady warming up backstage?

    Is she clearing her throat?

    Is Dick already hearing the first few notes?! 

     AND THEN… A PATENTED DICK BUTTONS TV REVIEW!

    Dick dives into SEASON 3 OF DEAD CITY and gives his completely unfiltered thoughts on where the show went, what worked, what didn’t, and whether this season delivered!

     BUT STOP THE PRESSES!!!!

    VINCENZO IS IN SICILY…

    AND THERE’S STILL A BRAND-SPANKING-NEW VINCENZONE?!?!

    HOW?!

  • The Dick Buttons Interviews - James Frew

    🎤 DO YA THINK I’M SEXY?

    Well, you better get ready… because ROD IS IN THE HOUSE! 😎🎶

    Dick Buttons sits down one-on-one with JAMES FREW, one of the UK’s premier Rod Stewart tribute artists and the man behind the hugely successful SIMPLY ROD STEWART!

    For years, James has been stepping onto stages and bringing the unmistakable swagger, style, attitude, humor and legendary music of Sir Rod Stewart to audiences who want much more than somebody simply singing the songs.

    This is about BECOMING ROD.

    The look.

    The moves.

    The voice.

    The mannerisms.

    The connection with the crowd.

    And that unmistakable ROD STEWART ATTITUDE! 🔥

    But how does someone go from being James Frew… to walking onto a stage and convincing an audience that, for the next couple of hours, they’re spending the night with Rod?

    🎙️ Where did James’ love of music begin?

    🎸 Why Rod Stewart?

    👱‍♂️ How do you perfect the voice, movements and personality of a living rock legend?

    🔥 What separates a great tribute artist from someone simply doing an impersonation?

    🎤 What happens when the crowd gets a little TOO involved?

    😂 What are some of the strangest things that have happened during a Simply Rod Stewart show?

    🎶 And after performing these songs night after night… does he EVER get tired of hearing “Maggie May”?

    We’re going beyond the wig, the microphone and the leopard print.

    We’re talking about the MAN BEHIND ROD.

    The beginnings.

    The journey.

    The work behind the transformation.

    The hilarious moments.

    The unforgettable audiences.

    The life of a tribute performer.

    And the incredible staying power of the music of Rod Stewart.

    And OF COURSE…

    ⚡🔥 DICK’S LIGHTNING ROUND! 🔥⚡

    No rehearsing.

    No overthinking.

    Just James Frew, Dick Buttons and whatever the hell comes flying out next!

    🎙️ JAMES FREW — “SIMPLY ROD STEWART”

    🎶 Tonight’s the night… and you’re gonna wanna be there.

  • The Dick Buttons Interviews - Matt St Onge-3

    First, Dick Buttons stepped into Matt St. Onge’s world and appeared on Matt’s show.

    Then Matt returned the favor and stepped into Dick’s arena for Round Two.

    Now… IT’S TIME FOR ROUND THREE! Matt St. Onge is heading BACK to The Dick Buttons Interviews, and this time there is A LOT to talk about! A.I. is moving at LIGHT SPEED. New tools. New technology. New controversies. New possibilities.

    Just when you think you’ve figured out where this whole thing is headed…EVERYTHING CHANGES AGAIN! Dick and Matt are diving into the latest in A.I., what’s changed since their last conversation, where this crazy technological landscape could be heading next, and what it all means for creators—and everyone else trying to keep up.

    But this episode isn’t going to be ALL about artificial intelligence.

    Dick also wants to catch up with Matt the PERSON.

    What has he been working on?

    What’s happening in his world?

    What’s changed since the last time they talked? And most importantly…HOW THE HELL IS HE DOING?

    Three conversations. Two guys. One constantly changing technological world. DICK BUTTONS & MATT ST. ONGE — PART 3

  • Episode 16 - “Predestination, Pedestrians & Pinot”

    Another week. Another movie. Another rant. Another bottle of wine. And somehow… Dick Buttons still has more to say.

    Season 6 rolls into Episode 16 with Dick doing a little overdue house cleaning — revisiting his summer adventures in Miami and Wildwood, New Jersey, and unloading a few observations that somehow escaped the original recaps. Apparently, vacation may end…but the material NEVER does.

    Then it’s time for another DICK’S MOVIE REVIEW! This week Dick takes on the brain-bending 2014 sci-fi thriller PREDESTINATION. Time travel. Twists. Identity crises. Enough plot turns to require a GPS. Did Dick think it was brilliant…or did the movie disappear up its own time-traveling backside? Click play and find out!

    And then… MOVE!!!

    Dick has had enough of people wandering around like they have absolutely nowhere to be. The slow walkers. The aisle blockers. The people who suddenly stop in the middle of everything. PICK A DIRECTION AND GO! Dick unleashes another full-blown rant about the human roadblocks standing between him and wherever the hell he’s trying to get.

    But eventually the madness gives way to THE VINCENZONE!

    The wine gets opened, Dick and Vincenzo settle in, and for once…THE BOYS ACTUALLY HAVE A PLAN! They’re counting down their TOP 5 DIRECTORS OF ALL TIME! Legends. Controversial picks. Guaranteed disagreements. Did your favorite director make the cut? Or will you be screaming at your screen?

    And because apparently wine and arguments aren’t enough, the newest fan favorite WHAT’S IN THE BAG? returns! What mystery snack did Vincenzo bring this week? Sweet? Salty? Delicious? Questionable? There’s only one way to find out.

    Vacation leftovers. Predestination confusion. Human speed bumps. Movie legends. Mystery snacks. Wine.

    It’s Season 6, Episode 16 of THE WORLD ACCORDING TO DICK BUTTONS — more entertainment than should legally be allowed in one podcast.

    CLICK PLAY. GET OUT OF THE WAY. AND ENTER THE VINCENZONE!

  • The Dick Buttons Interviews - Michelle Robbins

    What happens when a woman discovers the man she planned to build a life with may already be building another one... with somebody else?

    And what happens when she decides she’s NOT going to simply walk away?

    On September 9th at 1PM EST, Dick Buttons sits down one-on-one with author MICHELLE ROBBINS, creator of the suspense thriller THREE WOMEN, ONE ALIBI — a story inspired by true events involving betrayal, deception, friendship, resilience... and three women who begin pulling at the threads of one man’s carefully constructed life.

    But Michelle’s OWN story may be just as fascinating.

    Before becoming a novelist, Michelle traveled a career path that included work as a researcher, professor, real estate agent, court interpreter and even an FBI contract linguist — experiences that exposed her to countless real-life stories of people dealing with love, deception, survival and reinvention.

    So you KNOW Dick has questions.

    🔥 How much of THREE WOMEN, ONE ALIBI really happened?

    🔥 Where does fact stop... and fiction begin?

    🔥 How do you take real-life betrayal and turn it into a suspense novel?

    🔥 What did Michelle learn from years of listening to other people's stories?

    🔥 Why did she decide NOW was the time to become a novelist?

    🔥 And what happens when Dick Buttons starts digging into the person BEHIND the book?

    This isn't just going to be a conversation about writing.

    It's about second acts.

    It's about deception.

    It's about finding the courage to reinvent yourself.

    And it's about what can happen when you discover the life you thought was real... may have been built on a lie.
