Steve Mason and Sue Kalinske welcome Joey McIntyre of New Kids on the Block to discuss his new immersive Christmas musical Tinsel Color at the Cinevita Spiegel tent in Inglewood. Before the interview the hosts review The Diplomat (praising Rufus Sewell's scheming VP and a jaw-dropping finale) and go deep on Vince Gilligan's Pluribus, a sci-fi series about a hive-mind takeover that sparks a genuine philosophical debate about collective happiness, individuality, and whether the joined world is actually better. Joey then opens up about the arrested development of worldwide boy-band fame at 16, how NKOTB protected their legacy for 14 years before a carefully managed 2008 reunion, his Broadway journey from Tick Tick Boom to Wicked, and an extended Boston sports dynasty riff covering the Brady-Belichick debate, the 2004 Dave Roberts steal, and Belichick's puzzling post-Patriots chapter at UNC.
