Then we go hard on a cool film festival upcoming at the Violet Crown (formerly Magnolia). Literary agent to the stars David Hale Smith joins us to talk about, in no particular order: how much he earns every year, how a class project in DISD’s K.B. Polk Elementary led him to his career, when he stopped taking drugs, hamburgers, and, finally, the film festival he helped launch, along with Steve Stodghill and Paul Coggins. The Dallas Noir Fest runs May 17–19 at the Violet Crown (formerly the Magnolia). It opens with the great Hell or High Water.

On this episode of EarBurner, Zac and I talk about why several musicians have wanted to punch him, how my search history on Spotify came to include Fall Out Boy, and we give you a bit of a preview of Zac’s upcoming profile of Alexander in the magazine. Plus we spin a few Alexander tracks and deliver trenchant criticism thereon. Sample from me: “Oh, yeah, I’m digging this.”

The Stars are a hockey team that moved to Dallas from Minnesota in 1993. They are headed into the playoffs next week.

What do these two things have in common? They are both discussed at length in this episode of EarBurner. Why do I often sleep on my couch? What sort of pajamas does Zac wear? How is it possible to trademark blue gingham? And will Pete DeBoer’s Stars, the best squad we’ve seen in years, skate the Cup? With help from StrongSide’s Mike “The Looch” Piellucci, all questions are answered.

The player below or any old podcatcher will do. If you’re more interested in skating than you are sleeping, the hockey talk starts at about 17:00.

Things to know and see before you listen: here’s the origin of the BDE meme; here’s the mayor’s BDE tweet about Reunion Tower; here’s the episode of EarBurner we did with Mel Kyle, where we talked about the Dallas origins of Black guys calling each other “bro”; and it was Cowboys cornerback Anthony Brown who got an actual potato chip tattooed on his shoulder.

Our discussion included, but was not limited to, the following: Jay’s insane number of dogs, Jay’s wife’s potty mouth, the difference between a homophone and a homonym, pepperoni’s inauthenticity, Frank Campagna’s murals in the restaurant, how Jay quit his day job to create a pizza empire that now employs 520 people, and puntata.
