Digital Black, Todd White and Alan Healy - Momma Said Jul 23, 2026

🎙️ Getting The Gig welcomes Digital Black, Todd White & Alan Healy Some collaborations are more than just songs—they're full-circle moments. Today's conversation brings together three artists whose journeys helped shape different chapters of R&B history, each leaving a lasting imprint on the genre in their own way. Digital Black first earned his place in R&B history as a founding member of Playa, one of the standout groups to emerge from DeVante Swing's Da Bassment camp alongside future icons including Missy Elliott, Timbaland, Ginuwine, and Static Major. A respected singer, songwriter, producer, and now member of the multi-platinum group Dru Hill, his career continues to bridge generations of classic and contemporary R&B. Joining him are Todd White and Alan Healy, whose story has become one of the most fascinating "what ifs" in 1990s R&B. Originally signed to Capitol Records as Sudden Impact, they later joined Michael Bivins' Biv 10/Motown Records as Whytgize, before continuing as Outsiderz 4 Life through Blackground Records. Though label changes and industry circumstances kept them from reaching the heights many predicted, their story has since become part of R&B lore, introducing a new generation of fans to one of the era's most intriguing untold stories. Now, those worlds come together on "Momma Said," a heartfelt collaboration that reunites decades of experience, musicianship, and perseverance while proving that great music has no expiration date. Today, we're talking about Playa, Dru Hill, Da Bassment, Sudden Impact, Whytgize, songwriting, brotherhood, navigating the music business, surviving the industry's highs and lows, and why the best chapters are sometimes the ones still being written. 🎙️ Jon Leon Guerrero's Getting The Gig series presented by Pete A Turner's Break it Down Show proudly welcomes Digital Black, Todd White, and Alan Healy.

Pete A Turner – Affect vs Effect and Baseball Outcomes Jul 02, 2026

Pete A Turner is our guest on the Break It Down Show. Brad Hutchings sits in to run a discussion founded in the topic of Affect vs Effect. Affects thinking drives results in a more powerful way. Emotions are an accelerant for culture. Cultural based decisions offer compulsion and reject design. Effect thinking anticipates a series of actions, tasks or outcomes that lead inexorably to a positive conclusion. The concept of Affect helps identify where work begins. It helps better control for missed outcomes. Desired affects aren't easy to collect. Still, they are impossible to benefit from if one is focused on effects. Emotions gathered by design are a powerful compulsion device.

Infantryman Ruben Gallego and his brothers in Lima Company—3rd Battalion, 25th Marines, young men drawn from blue-collar towns, immigrant households, Navajo reservations—returned unscathed on patrol after patrol through the increasingly violent al Anbar region of Iraq. After two months, Lima didn't have a casualty, not a single Purple Heart, no injury worse than a blister. Then, in May 2005, Lima's fortunes flipped. Unknown to Ruben and his fellow grunts, al Anbar had recently become a haven for al Qaeda in Mesopotamia. The bin Laden-sponsored group had recruited radicals from all over the world for jihad against the Americans. On one fateful day, they were lured into a death house; the ambush cost the lives of two men, including a platoon sergeant. Two days later, Ruben's best friend, Jonathon Grant, died in an IED attack, along with several others. Events worsened from there. A disastrous operation in Haditha in August claimed the lives of thirteen Marines when an IED destroyed their amphibious vehicle. It was the worst single-day loss for the Marines since the 1983 Beirut bombings. By the time 3/25 went home in November, it had lost more men than any other single unit in the war. Forty-six Marines and two Navy Corpsmen serving with the battalion in Iraq were killed in action during their roughly nine-month activation. They Called Us "Lucky" details Ruben Gallego's journey and includes harrowing accounts of some of the war's most costly battles. It details the struggles and the successes of Ruben and the rest of Lima Company following Iraq, examining the complicated matter of PTSD. And it serves as a tribute to Ruben's fallen comrades, who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Over three generations, he and his family grew the Russian petroleum industry into a behemoth that surpassed even John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil. The Nobels imported the best practices from America and improved on them, transforming every aspect of the industry. Though Emanuel's uncle Alfred would become world famous thanks to his creation of the Nobel Prize, the even more successful Nobels in Russia have been largely forgotten. The reason why is one of history's most gripping untold stories. Working in the oil fields of southern Russia at the same time as Emanuel was a troubled young man from a peasant family in Georgia. Though educated to be a priest, he took a different path when he discovered the revolutionary ideas of Karl Marx. In and out of prison in Siberia, charismatic and committed, always at the center of a fight, this young man would become known to the world as Joseph Stalin, a leader of the Bolshevik Revolution and eventually one of the most brutal dictators in history. Directly in Stalin's crosshairs was Emanuel Nobel, who represented everything Stalin despised about capitalism. As the world turned upside down, Emanuel began to plan a life-or-death escape from Russia. But would he make it out in time? And what would be the fate of the immense empire he and his family had built?

Jasper Craven - God Forgives, Brothers Don't Jun 04, 2026

Jasper Craven has covered the American military and veterans' issues for over a decade. He serves as Policy Fellow at the Veterans Healthcare Policy Institute and a Reporting Fellow at Type Investigations. He is a lifetime member of the Veterans for Peace. In 2025, Craven was recognized by the National Press Foundation with their inaugural Award for Excellence in Coverage of Veterans. His reporting has also been shortlisted for the National Magazine Award, the Livingston Award, and the John Barlow Martin Award. His work has appeared in outlets including The New York Times Magazine, Harper's, Politico, and The Baffler. He is the coauthor of the academic book Our Veterans. Follow him on X @Jasper_Craven. Get, God Forgives on Amazon at https://amzn.to/4fJRcfp Here's the blurb from Jasper's book: When investigative reporter Jasper Craven first dug into Valley Forge Military Academy five years ago, he uncovered an acrid strain of masculinity that was raw, violent, fiercely hierarchical, and quickly mutating out of control. Initially, he had assumed that military education was a dying, outmoded brand. But as he looked deeper, he found a sprawling, well-funded network featuring dozens of military schools, like Valley Forge and West Point, plus thousands of ROTC programs in public colleges and high schools that allowed the Pentagon to wield outsized power on education. In an unflinching narrative, Craven explores how the military has come to define American masculinity and how it often fosters its most toxic traits. Beginning with the American Revolution, Craven shows how the birth of our nation required a new masculine ideal, crafted in the image of George Washington. During the brutality of the Civil War, Craven traces the parallel violence in military hazing culture and the deeply prejudicial culture at places like West Point, which reared Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and other famed Confederates.

Get Nolan: The Singular Life of an American Original on Amazon at amzn.to/4dwTD1N The blub from the book: Nolan Ryan was the hero to two of America's biggest institutions: Texas and baseball. Nolan is an exploration of God, family, baseball, and America—and a tribute to one of the greatest pitchers to ever step on the mound. He grew up in the small, hard town of Alvin, Texas, was graced with a fastball, and fell in love with a woman named Ruth, then honored all three in his pursuit of hardball perfection. Alongside Nolan's personal story, renowned sportswriter Tim Brown offers a thoughtful, deeply researched history of baseball in the Lone Star State, and an unforgettable account of three glorious decades in the Major Leagues. Nolan Ryan's story is about dominating on the field, then growing old in the game, then just plain growing old. It's about the man who has become a symbol of the game at its best, the way it used to be. It's about deeds over words. About cattle matching the hat. About fastballs over all else. Nolan makes the case that there has never been another like him. And there won't be again.

Pitching Ninja - Rob Friedman, Unhittable Apr 07, 2026

The Pitching Ninja joins Pete A Turner on the Break It Down Show. Rob Friedman has turned himself into a world class pitching coach, analyist and X/YouTube account. His work is a smash success. His latest smash is his book "Unhittable" which chronicles the rapid changes in how MLB pitchers approach the craft. Unhittable: How Technology, Mavericks, and Innovators Engineered Baseball's New Era of Pitching Dominance amzn.to/4tqBcCj Can Tarik Skubal three-peat as AL Cy Young? After winning Rookie of the Year and his first Cy Young, how does Paul Skenes get even nastier? Can Jacob deGrom crack 200 strikeouts again? How will Spencer Strider approach his return to dominance? Which pitchers stand to gain the most from an automated strike zone? And what separates Shohei Ohtani's approach to training from everyone else—why is he the outlier? If you're asking questions like these as the season approaches, Unhittable is just what you've been looking for to prep for Opening Day. Pitching dominates baseball as never before. Spin rate, sweepers, 105 mph fastballs—all have become standard when evaluating pitching arms and techniques and are familiar lingo in discussion and analysis of the game. Gone is the era of the swaggering power hitters. Batting averages are close to the deadball era; team records for strikeouts are broken and then broken again. The game has fundamentally changed, and hitters may never catch up.

The pair reflects on how history compresses—WWII feels recent when linked to family stories—reminding us today's frantic moments aren't as unprecedented as they seem.They explore the "dryer effect": how disparate threads (Venezuela-Cuba-China-Iran, Somaliland recognition, al-Shabaab funding via Minnesota fraud networks, California's massive COVID unemployment grift) tangle together through money flows and competing interests. Fraud in California alone rivals the GDP of many nations, highlighting waste over infrastructure.Amber and Pete discuss money's constant velocity, layered competitions in war and geopolitics, and the challenge of discerning truth amid conflicting viewpoints. They examine NATO's tensions—Europe denying overflight and basing rights while expecting U.S. support—questioning alliances without alignment. Trump's direct style, Greenland interest, and energy independence push a reform agenda, favoring nimble new structures like a potential Board of Peace over failing bodies like the UN.Both express optimism: abundance-minded energy policy, Abraham Accords expansion, and institutional reexamination can drive stability and prosperity. Amber praises clear-eyed leadership that prioritizes sovereignty and results, even amid discomfort from reform.A positive, insightful episode blending big-picture strategy with grounded realism—full of hope that creative solutions and aligned action can build a better world.

Every great story begins with a departure, a moment when familiar shores fade in favor of adventure and opportunities on a distant horizon. For Dr. C.L. Max Nikias, that moment came when conflict destroyed everything his family had built and they found themselves as refugees. At the time, he had no idea that those extraordinary challenges would form the early chapters of an improbable journey that would carry him and his wife, Niki, from a village of fewer than 1,000 people to the helm of one of America's leading research universities. Get American Trojan on Amazon at amzn.to/4dXllXo American Trojan: Leadership, Resilience, and the Renewal of Higher Educationtells the story of how he and Niki crossed the Atlantic with virtually nothing to their names, equipped with only a deep faith in the power of education and the promise of the American Dream.

Amber Brittain-Hale & Mike Cote - The Iran vs US/Israel War Mar 24, 2026

Dr Amber Brittain-Hale returns to the Break It Down Show with Pete A Turner. Joining Pete and Amber is Mike Cote. Both Amber and Mike are credentialed policy folks who are regulars on the Break It Down Show. As the Iran conflict continues to evolve, we're looking to Amber and Mike to help get us on the right track. They argue the bullshit-to-fact ratio exceeds 50/50, driven by legacy media spin, selective sourcing (e.g., Hamas-run health ministry or anonymous U.S. officials), and anti-Trump narratives that downplay staggering U.S./Israeli operational successes in degrading Iran's regime, missiles, and nuclear assets. Mike emphasizes military effectiveness, tactical ambiguity in messaging for operational security, and the need to ignore detached "failure" spins. Amber highlights Trump's psyops (e.g., "talking to someone in Iran"), appropriate pacing, and the value of primary sources while warning against cynical framing that undermines the effort. Both stress pre-existing detailed contingency plans, regional realignment (Gulf states, Ukraine, Japan partnering against Iran), and the war's role in broader stability—contrasting it with media-driven impatience over the Strait of Hormuz or "day after" scenarios. They critique media hypocrisy, anonymous leaks benefiting opponents, and politicized analysis (e.g., from figures like Mehdi Hasan or Joe Kent). Antisemitism ties into anti-Americanism, often funded by Iranian proxies. Mike Coté: rationalpolicy.com (Substack on geopolitics and history).

Why would you ever want to leave your amazing home where you probably have a half full fridge, maybe some cans, a warm bed, a roof over your head, as well as neighbours you know, and terrain you're familiar with, … only to run OUT THERE to some place you know nothing about and try to forage your daily meals? And maybe get 5 calories from some roots after spending 6 calories digging them up. Much better to Bug-In! But you need a guide, or else you might overlook vital things that you just won't be able to get once a crisis is underway. Inside this unique 240-page physical book, former Navy Seal and BUD/S Instructor Joel Lambert will show you exactly what you need to stockpile and know to turn your house into the safest place on Earth. Unlike most other "survival experts" Joel has survived war and chaos from Iraq to Afghanistan, and other places you've probably never heard about. His survival knowledge, which you'll find in the book, is not theoretical – it's the purest form of practical. The stuff that actually saves lives and families once things go terribly bad, and there's no more 911 to call.

Burt Whitlow - US Army Counterintelligence Nov 24, 2022

Burt Whitlow - US Army Counterintelligence - Burt Whitlow is one of Pete's friends from their time at D Co, 165th MI Bn. They worked at the same field office in Hanau Germany. One of the things that's makes these shows so interesting is the era where these two counterintelligence agents were in the Army. The Cold War was over and getting further into the past. CI Agents were going more strategic. The US wasn't going to wars anymore. As the military sought to change CI the Dayton Peace Accords were authored. That means putting NATO troops on the ground in Bosnia-Herzegovina. In an instant, Burt and Pete's careers changed direct. Instead of civilian clothes and overseas strategic assignments, it was battle uniforms and the unknown of a NATO combat deployment. Whitlow joins Pete A Turner on the Break It Down Show. Two old spies sit down and talk about the work they did/do. We're looking around and it doesn't seem like anyone else is offering two actual field experience spies, talking shop. That's pretty cool!
