I'm joined this week by comedian Jordan Carlos. He discusses his new book Choreplay: The Marriage Saving Magic Of Getting Your Head Out Of Your Ass. In it he shares his personal story of how he realized if he didn't step up more around the house he might just lose his family. Jordan's brutal honesty, and comedic timing, make this a true joy to read. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

Between the years of 1999-2004 there was no bigger rivalry in sports than that of the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. These two storied baseball teams have always had a bitter rivalry, but it hit new levels during this five year period.

A group of guys from Boston's vibrant punk rock scene decided to take advantage of this by selling shirts and stickers with the slogan "Yankees Suck." It was simple but effective. The shirts took over New England, and the rest of the country. It became a rally cry as the 2004 Red Sox went on to win their first World Series Title in 86 years.

One of those guys, Chris Wrenn, took all the money he made and funneled it right into his record label, Bridge Nine Records. Over the last couple of decades Bridge Nine has released some of the most important records in the hardcore music scene. None of that would've happened without the Yankees Suck shirts.

Chris shares the wild story of how all of this happened in his new book, "Fenway Punk: How A Boston Indie Label Scored Big On Baseball's Biggest Rivalry." The book is out on 2/10/26.

The word 'disruptor' has a distinct connotation. It tends to be tied to Silicon Valley and the tech world. It's the whole 'move fast and break things' mantra. But, there have been disruptors throughout history. Any time something new comes along and throws the world, and culture, into a frenzy, that's a disruptor. Things like the printing press, iPhone and even things like the disposable diaper are all epic disruptions. Scott D. Anthony recently published his latest book titled, 'Epic Disruptions: 11 Innovations That Shaped Our Modern World.'
