Are Artists Worth More After Death?

The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G ·

2025/11/22

What if the value of an artist’s work peaks after they’re gone—and the system is built to profit from it? We open the vault on posthumous fame, unpacking why streams surge, why unreleased songs appear “on schedule,” and how grief, scarcity, and label strategy shape the market. Along the way, we compare musicians to painters whose fortunes rose after death and ask the uncomfortable question: who actually gets paid when the legend grows? From there we get practical. We break down masters, publ...

Trek Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G ·

2025/11/22

A cart gets stolen, a six-pack turns into a 30-pack, and suddenly we’re staring at the real reason small annoyances blow up our day. That’s our doorway into a bigger conversation about boundaries, burnout, and the quiet skill of catching yourself before your mood runs the show. We keep it funny, but we keep it honest—because grocery lines, shop floors, and shutdown headlines are where emotional control actually gets tested. We riff on chivalry without getting preachy. Courtesy still matters,...

A Belgian Wheat Walks Into A Bar And Wakes Up In Pilsen

The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G ·

2025/11/05

Send us a text The studio is small, the bar downstairs is loud, and that’s exactly the vibe we wanted. We kick off rough and real—gain staging, headphone checks, and a reminder that making anything worth hearing is messy at first. That scrappy energy carries us into a city talk that hits close to home: how a neighborhood can go from familiar to foreign in a few rent hikes, and why the line between “revival” and “removal” too often runs along bridges and train tracks. Pilsen, Five Points, Cabr...

From Rough Morning To Building A Show: Tips, Travel,...

The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G ·

2025/10/30

Send us a text A hangover can be a harsh teacher, but it can also be the nudge to get serious. We open with a messy morning and the hard truth about mixing liquor and beer, then chart a clear path from chaos to craft: how we built a workable podcast setup, why Buzzsprout’s mastering helped us fight noisy rooms, and what we’re changing to make each episode cleaner and more intentional. We talk real gear and real constraints—two mics, one interface, and a quiet corner made quieter with blanket...

2025/10/30

Send us a text Fresh snow at 3 a.m. and the quiet crunch underfoot set the mood for a wide-open creative path: nobody’s walked it yet, so we might as well. We open with that scene because starting a podcast feels the same—untouched, a little intimidating, and oddly peaceful once you take the first step. From there, we get practical and transparent about the early choices that matter: naming the show, building cover art that actually pops, and learning our way around mic positioning, voice con...

2025/10/25

Send us a text Press record before you feel ready. That’s the energy we bring as we swap honest lessons from the early days of building a podcast from a simple setup above a noisy bar. We get practical about Buzzsprout, how an RSS feed actually syndicates your show, and the small stack of tools that make shipping easier: AI help for titles and descriptions, and audio cleanup that saves hours without killing the vibe. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s momentum. We also get into the creator head...

Guinness, Grind, And Getting Better All The Time

The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G ·

2025/10/19

Send us a text Pain can feel like a switch you can’t turn off, so we grabbed two mics and a Guinness and turned it into fuel. We start with the nitro cascade—why cans beat bottles, how the widget works, and the strange satisfaction of a foam crown that lasts—and end up somewhere bigger: raw talk on men’s mental health, late-bloomer confidence, and the courage to change your show art, your habits, and your life without asking for permission. We open up about growing up without dads, grandmoth...

Starting Small, Thinking Big

The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G ·

2025/10/11

Send us a text Building something with bare hands and borrowed time isn’t cute—it’s gritty, uneven, and weirdly joyful. We open up about the early days of our DIY show, from watching double‑digit downloads with pride to using Buzzsprout’s first‑100‑days guide as a compass, all while keeping the core promise: honest talk that feels like sitting with friends who actually listen. The conversation travels—city life without a car, budgets that shape choices, and the peace that comes from keeping y...

Send us a text What happens when someone unexpectedly joins your shower during a livestream? This question kicks off our wildly entertaining journey through gaming nostalgia, workplace boundaries, and the future of console gaming. Remember when video games didn't require internet connections? When you could simply insert a cartridge and start playing immediately? We take a nostalgic trip through gaming history, from organizing Madden tournaments in the '90s to exploring virtual galaxies in N...

Jokers, Turkeys, and Avoiding the Doctor's Two Knuckler

2025/09/20

Send us a text Ever wondered why bartenders charge you $35 to set your drink on fire? Or why Guinness tastes so much better from a tap than a bottle? Our hosts dive into these pressing questions while sharing their unfiltered thoughts on drink culture and nightlife economics. The conversation flows naturally from IPAs and stouts to the frustration of overpriced cocktails where you're paying more for theatrics than alcohol content. "For all that, I could have just done that shit myself," one ...

Life After Heartbreak A.K.A. Achey Breakey Farts

2025/09/12

Send us a text Have you ever been ghosted by someone you deeply loved? That soul-crushing moment when they tell you to "forget about me" but somehow leave you with just enough hope to keep you looking for their car every time you cross the street? This raw, unfiltered conversation dives into the painful reality of modern relationships—where connections that begin in workplaces, through friends, or at social gatherings can evolve into profound love stories... or devastating heartbreaks.
