Watch Sabrina Carpenter get herself a ‘Tall, Plain Boyfriend’ in cut-for-time ‘SNL’ sketch

October 24, 2025 by WDNY Radio

When Sabrina Carpenter hosted Saturday Night Live on Oct. 18, she was in nearly every sketch — including at least one that didn’t make it to air. Luckily, we can watch it now through the magic of, um, TikTok.

The sketch is a mock advertisement inspired by the fact that the quality most women seem to be interested in these days is height. Sabrina is shown on a date with a guy, saying she’s disappointed with men who “try too hard to be funny or interesting — especially the little ones.”

She then unveils a giant, Barbie-style box containing cast member Ben Marshall and says, “That’s why I switched to Tall, Plain Boyfriend. No drama. No personality. Just a long body with hair on head,” she says. “All the girlies will be jealous.”

Cue Sarah Sherman asking Sabrina, “What does he do for work? Where did he grow up? What’s his name?” The answer to all of those questions? “Who cares? He’s 6’5″.”

After Tall, Plain Boyfriend shows that he’s not smart or interesting, Sabrina notes, “Because if you need a deep conversation, b****, listen to a podcast.”

“Does Tall, Plain Boyfriend have a perfect face? Girl, I can barely see up there. That’s none of my business,” she continues. She then shows off some of Tall, Plain Boyfriend’s “empathetic catchphrases,” which include “Damn, that sucks,” “That’s so crazy” and “It’s crazy how much that sucks.”

“So get yourself a Tall, Plain Boyfriend,” Sabrina concludes. “He may not make you laugh, or think, but he will make you feel tiny!” Marshall then scoops up Sabrina and carries her offstage.

Billy Currington gives ‘King of the World’ a second chance

October 24, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Billy Currington‘s back with a new album that makes him feel like King of the World.

This is the first new record from the “People Are Crazy” hitmaker since 2021’s Intuition. But while the project may be new, its title track is not.

“It’s a song that I’ve had in my back pocket, so to speak, for many years now,” Billy explains. “I was gonna record it on an album, maybe three or four albums back. But for whatever reason, it didn’t work out.”

Recording his eighth studio album, however, finally gave the song its moment.

“Working with [producer] Carson Chamberlain on this current album, I was like, ‘Carson, hey, you remember that old Troy Jones song that we was gonna record back then, “The King of the World”?'” he recalls. “So I sent it to him and he was of course, ‘Oh yeah, I remember that.’ So we ended up laying it down and here we are.”

Billy’s 10-track King of the World is out now.

Simon Kirke and Bad Company ‘honored’ by Can’t Get Enough tribute album

October 24, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Soon-to-be Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Bad Company are the focus of a new tribute album, Can’t Get Enough: The Music of Bad Company, which is out now. It features guests like Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott and Phil Collen, Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, The Struts and more covering iconic Bad Company tunes.

BadCo drummer Simon Kirke tells ABC Audio they’re “honored that these artists have taken the time to record” their songs, noting, “It’s wonderful.”

He does say, however, that while he’s familiar with artists like Slash and Elliott, he’s not familiar with “half” of the musicians who took part in the album. He does heap praise on the covers, though: “They actually were not that far removed from our originals.”

Kirke and BadCo frontman Paul Rodgers also contributed to the project; Kirke plays drums and Rodgers adds backing vocals on Elliott and Collen’s rendition of “Seagull,” while Rodgers also contributed backing vocals to “Run With The Pack,” covered by Blackberry Smoke, and “Shooting Star,” covered by Halestorm.

Kirke says doing it “was kind of like a hats off” to the artists who took part in the release.

Before Kirke and Rodgers formed Bad Company with guitarist Mick Ralphs and bassist Boz Burrell, they were both in the band Free, and the album includes a cover of Free’s biggest hit, “All Right Now.” Kirke says it makes sense the tune would be included on the album.

“It’s one of those songs that just will not die, and it’ll be around long after I’ve gone,” he says. “It’s an iconic song, always has been and always will be.”

Bad Company will inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Nov. 8 in Los Angeles. The ceremony will stream live on Disney+ starting at 8 p.m. ET.

Master P says No Limit and Cash Money Verzuz is ‘gon’ be good’

October 24, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Ahead of the return of Verzuz, Master P is teasing that the showdown between his No Limit Records and Cash Money Records is going to be worth watching.

“Y’all got to come to the show, man,” he said in an interview with Complex’s Jordan Rose. “The soldiers gon’ be in the building. I’m just telling y’all. No Limit has been around a long time.”

“It’s gon’ be good,” he continued. “That’s the only thing I can tell y’all. It’s gon’ be crazy. You just never know who gon’ show up with No Limit.”

The last Verzuz battle last took place in June 2022, when Mario and Omarion went back and forth and highlighted their discographies. The competition series briefly went on hiatus as founders Timbaland and Swizz Beatz handled a legal dispute with Triller. It will return with the Cash Money and No Limit showdown, which P says will simultaneously celebrate the city of New Orleans.

“We’re still able to get together, get on stage, and do this and celebrate the city of New Orleans. We’ve been celebrating each other for a long time and to be able to do this with Cash Money, we definitely gotta celebrate them,” Master P told Complex. “We definitely two companies that came up in New Orleans and created empires. So my hats go off to Birdman and Cash Money, as well as my No Limit army, all my soldiers, everybody that represented us for so long.”

The event will take place Saturday in Las Vegas as part of ComplexCon 2025.

Five Finger Death Punch fans ‘understand the assignment’ with rerecorded ‘Best Of’ compilations

October 24, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Five Finger Death Punch and Taylor Swift probably don’t have a lot in common musically, but the metal outfit is similar to the pop superstar in at least one respect.

Like Swift, Five Finger Death Punch decided to rerecord their music after their former label sold the band’s master recordings. The result is a two-volume compilation, Best Of, featuring newly rerecorded versions of the biggest Death Punch hits.

In order for the project to be successful, fans would have to listen to the rerecorded versions over the originals, as the Swifties did. While they don’t have the numbers to match Swift’s fandom, guitarist Zoltan Bathory tells ABC Audio that the FFDP legion is just as passionate, dubbing them the “craziest fans in the metal world.”

“So we kind of knew that, OK, we could also do this, and the fans will understand the assignment,” Bathory laughs. “And they did.”

Case in point: the first single off the first Best Of volume, “I Refuse” featuring In This Moment‘s Maria Brink, hit #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. The second volume’s single, “The End” featuring BABYMETAL, currently sits in the top five.

Getting to celebrate “I Refuse” was particularly meaningful for Death Punch, as it was a favorite among the band members but wasn’t initially released as a single.

“It’s a little bit of a satisfaction that a song that we wanted to be a single back in the day now got to be a single, and got the spotlight it deserved and it went #1,” Bathory says.

As for how the rerecordings compare to the originals, Bathory feels there’s generally a “different vibe.”

“Instead of creating something, you’re performing it,” he says. “So it’s gonna have a performative energy.”

Both Best Of volumes are out now.

’80s pop icons unite as Bryan Adams & Pat Benatar hit the road together

October 24, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Two ’80s pop music icons who’ve never worked together before are joining forces for a U.S tour kicking off Saturday in Connecticut. Bryan Adams is launching the U.S. leg of his current world tour with opening act Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo.

While the tour’s in support of Bryan’s latest album, Roll With the Punches, he explains that he’s not one of those artists who’ll make you sit through a lot of the new stuff.

“I play all the songs everybody knows and loves, and then I pepper it with a couple of new songs,” he tells ABC Audio. How does he keep songs he’s been playing for decades, like “Summer of ’69,” fresh for him and his band? It’s all about the crowd, he says.

“There’s that old great adage, ‘There ain’t no audience, there ain’t no show,'” Bryan says. “So much hinges on the connection between people and the music. And that’s why we do what we do … because we love that connection and we try to make that connection.”

While Bryan and Pat had never met prior to the tour, they do have a connection: He originally wrote his 1981 song “Lonely Nights” for her to record.

“We submitted it to her, but we never heard anything back,” Bryan recalls. “So when it came time for me to make an album, I still had that song, so I recorded it and it became one of my [first] … songs on American rock radio.”

And while Pat and Neil are usually headliners, Pat says teaming with Bryan gives them exposure to a whole new audience. Plus, as Pat explains, “We’re not performing in massive stadiums anymore. … So when you have an opportunity to go back out and do the Forum and do the Madison Square Garden, it is fun to pay the big places.”

October 23, 2025 by WDNY Radio

The Devil Wears Prada has released a new song called “Everybody Knows,” a track off the band’s upcoming album, Flowers.

“‘Everybody Knows’ is about feeling out of place- when your anxiety takes over and you can’t hide it anymore,” TDWP says. “It’s that moment when you realize everyone can see you’re not holding it together, but you don’t know how to escape it.”

You can watch the “Everybody Knows” video on YouTube.

Flowers is due out Nov. 14. It also includes the single “For You.”

The most recent Spoon album is 2022’s Lucifer on the Sofa.

Music notes: Teddy Swims, Shawn Mendes and more

October 23, 2025 by WDNY Radio

If you haven’t seen it yet, the video for “Gone, Gone, Gone,” by Teddy Swims, David Guetta and Tones and I is out now. In the clip, two young lovers sneak off to Las Vegas and get married by an Elvis impersonator. They’re having a great time until their families burst in and a brawl breaks out, involving several Elvis impersonators and showgirls. Meanwhile, David and Tones sing in a motel parking lot and Teddy sings in a bar.

Shawn Mendes will be among the performers at this year’s Earthshot Prize ceremony, taking place in Rio de Janeiro on Nov. 5. The 1 million pound prize, presented by the U.K.’s Prince William, will be split between five winners who’ve developed ways to restore nature, clean the air, revive the oceans, eliminate waste and fix the climate.

It came out in 2013, but Eminem and Rihanna‘s video for “The Monster” has just hit 1 billion views on YouTube. It’s the duo’s second billion-view video on the platform, after “Love the Way You Lie.”

Jordin Sparks will star in Merry Little Mystery, a Christmas movie streaming on The Roku Channel starting Nov. 19. Jordin plays a woman who spends the holidays at her grandparents’ house in the tiny town where she grew up, and while there, takes over for her grandfather as the town’s Secret Santa. A hunky investigative reporter tries to expose the Secret Santa’s identity, but this is a Christmas rom-com — you can guess what happens next.
