I'm sure y'all remember Scott Rogowsky, the iconic “Quiz Daddy” from the HQ Trivia phenomenon back in 2017-2018. Turns out, he’s also a massive Phish fan, just like me. After Phish's 2025 spring tour on the West Coast, Scott penned an incredibly thoughtful and introspective essay on his Substack about his personal journey with the band. It really stuck out to me because it goes way beyond setlists and jams. I was so moved by his writing that I knew I had to invite him on The Mostly Occasion...
G-Eazy's new album, "Helium," just dropped—his first in four years and easily his most personal yet. Remember peak G-Eazy? A decade ago, he soundtracked your messiest breakups, late-night Uber rides, and Sunday Scaries brunches. Now at 35, after a whirlwind of fame, loss, and reinvention, the Bay Area rapper is diving deep and opening up. On today's Mostly Occasionally, G-Eazy joins us to talk about why he stepped back from LA stardom, moved to New York, got trippy and introspective on new tr...
This week on Mostly Occasionally, I catch up with wildlife biologist, TV host, and certified madman Forrest Galante. You might know Forrest Galante from his many Discovery Channel and Animal Planet shows, starting with Naked and Afraid back in 2013, where people survive in the jungle with no clothes. Since then, he’s built a career chasing lost species, hosting Extinct or Alive, and turning the public eye toward wildlife conservation in a way that’s actually effective. He’s really damn ...
I caught up with action icon Dolph Lundgren to talk about his new vodka brand Hard Cut—how it started, why it’s stronger and smoother than most, and why it feels a little bit James Bond with a splash of Rat Pack. We also get into the legacy of Ivan Drago, his real-life battle with cancer, and what it’s like to parachute off the Eiffel Tower during a Bond shoot in the pre-VFX era. Dolph was thoughtful, funny, and smooth—just like the vodka. Catch us sipping A Cut Above (literally the name of h...
Beer and the Grateful Dead—two of my favorite things, and today’s episode is a dream. I’m joined by Sam Calagione, founder of Dogfish Head Craft Brewing , and David Lemieux, longtime Grateful Dead Archivist & Historian, to talk about their epic new collab: Dogfish Head Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale. With 2025 marking the Grateful Dead’s 60th anniversary, Dogfish Head is celebrating with a nationwide beer release—complete with a big Stealie on the package. But they didn’t stop there. Sam a...
Frankie Muniz is the legendary star of Malcolm in the Middle and Agent Cody Banks. He’s also a full-fledged NASCAR driver in the NASCAR Truck Series living out his ultimate dream. In this episode of Mostly Occasionally, BroBible’s Brandon Wenerd sits down with Frankie to talk about his lifelong passion for racing, the insane hot lap they shared at the Las Vegas F1 track in a Ford Mustang Darkhorse, and how he went from Hollywood to the high-speed world of professional motorsports. Fran...
I’m so excited to welcome my pal, food-TV legend Adam Richman (of Man vs. Food fame), to The Mostly Occasionally Show. We had a fun, wide-ranging chat about food, pop culture, and Pennsylvania’s massive impact on American snack food. As someone who grew up in Central Pennsylvania’s snack-food belt eating UTZ, Nibbles with Gibbles, and Middleswarth Potato Chips, this was such a treat. Crazy enough, I’ve known Adam for over a decade! Over the years, we’ve teamed up on a handful of BroBible foo...
Ever catch a Phish or Grateful Dead song sneaking into the bumper music during an NFL or college football game on Fox Sports? That's the TV magic of Jake Jolly—Los Angeles-based Fox Sports broadcast producer and jam band aficionado. Full name Jake Jolivette, he’s the mastermind behind blending Widespread Panic, The Disco Biscuits, Moe, and other jam band staples into Fox Sport's music packages, bridging the gap between live sports and the jam scene in a way live music fans can't help but noti...
I drove out to Vegas last week for the second annual Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, and let me tell you—it completely rocked. Watching Max Verstappen lock in his fourth championship on the neon-lit streets of Sin City? Pure F1 spectacle. This is a jam-packed episode of the Mostly Occasionally Show, recapping the weekend in my own peculiar way. The racing was incredible, but as with all these events, the real highlight? The people. At the very top of this episode, you’ll hear me doing a hot l...
The theme of this episode is finding balance. When you live an intentional, high-octane life juggling career demands, it’s essential to recalibrate before the burnout sets in. It’s not just a nice-to-have—it’s a necessity for your mental and physical health. Because no matter how fun your job or life may seem, too much of a good thing can still wipe you out. I know that feeling all too well. For Gryffin, that reset comes on the golf course. Known offstage as Dan Griffith, Gryffin finds...
I’m excited to introduce you to Brett Haman, one of the newest members of our team at BroBible. Brett is BroBible's social media manager, with over 2.2 million followers on his personal bhamtheman TikTok account. In this episode, he explains how he got millions of TikTok followers doing "a bunch of stupid stuff." Over the past year, Brett has totally transformed our social media strategy on Instagram. He’s launched short and long-form videos, created new series like Bro Debates, B...
I’m pumped to bring you a conversation with one of baseball's most unforgettable figures—Randy Johnson. For those of us who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, he’s The Big Unit, the 6'10" powerhouse who ruled the mound for 22 seasons. How can you forget that towering presence dominating for the Expos, Mariners, Astros, D-backs, Yankees, and Giants? These days, Randy’s channeling that legendary intensity into a new craft—behind the camera. We’ll revisit some of his most iconic career moments, but w...
This week on Mostly Occasionally, we’re shaking things up with a behind-the-scenes chat with my friend and business partner, Cass Anderson. Cass is BroBible’s Editor-In-Chief. He leads our team of content creators and all the processes it entails. As a writer, he's written tens of thousands of our blog posts, covering everything from fishing and football to wild stories that keep BroBible… well, BroBible. His daily meme round-ups? It's one of the biggest things we do consistently daily...
On this episode of The Mostly Occasionally Show, I sit down with 90-year-old Pat Boone, a legend whose career shaped the landscape of music and pop culture. With nearly 50 million records sold, 38 Top 40 hits, and friendships with icons like Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan, Pat’s stories span decades of cultural history. We talk about his early days with Elvis, the controversy around his covers of Little Richard, and his bold stand with Harry Belafonte during the civil rights movement. My ...
Jason Fitz has lived between two worlds—first as a child prodigy violinist, then as a football analyst. He’s a Juilliard-trained musician who played Carnegie Hall at just 10 years old. After dominating the music scene as the fiddle player and musical director for The Band Perry (remember their smash hit “If I Die Young”?) and playing on records that sold over 40 million units for artists like Tim McGraw and Matchbox 20, Jason decided to channel his relentless workhorse mentality into sports. ...
Zedd is back, and this time, he's on a mission to find his Telos. It’s a fancy ancient Greek word for your life's aim or ultimate purpose. The Stoics believed that discovering one’s Telos was the key to living a fulfilled and virtuous life—a philosophy that Zedd seems to embrace as he channels this ancient wisdom into his music. Nearly a decade after his last album, the Grammy-winning producer returns with Telos, a record that’s all about chasing meaning and making music that matters. It hits...
Twenty years ago, a little show about four guys navigating the highs and lows of Hollywood hit TV screens and changed the game forever. Entourage wasn't just a TV show; it was a cultural phenomenon, a love letter to friendship, ambition, and the often absurd world of showbiz. If you're of a certain age, like me, I'm sure you'll never forget the classic HBO noise (officially called the "static angel"), then the distinct "oh yeah oh yeahs" of the Jane's Addiction theme song while Vinny Chase, T...
Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Mostly Occasionally Podcast, hosted by Brandon Wenerd, publisher of BroBible.com. This podcast exists to share interesting conversations, mostly because the guests have fascinating stories and occasionally because they’re featured on BroBible.com, the website I've been writing on for the last 15 years. First up, we have the honor of chatting with the legendary Del McCoury, a cornerstone of bluegrass for over six decades. At 85, Del’s journey from a farm...
