11 FAT AROUND THE WORLD Tour de Fat travels around to a handful of different U.S. cities every year. This year, Tempe is in the company of Washington D.C., Denver, San Francisco, Boise, Chicago and Durham, to name a few.

10 THOU SHALT NOT… Tour de Fat is ruled by a set of 10 commandments, which includes directives like “honor all other bikes,” “thou shalt not steal thy neighbors’ bike” and “put no means of transport before thy bike.”

9 HEART IT RACES Every year brings a hip musical guest to the main stage.

Dr. Dog will be hitting the stage at the 2016 Tempe stop.

8 SLO-MO Tour de Fat features interactive entertainment like a costumed bike parade and a Slow Ride competition.

How slow can you go?

7 BIG WHEEL KEEP ON TURNIN’ Tour de Fat is an homage to Fat Tire, New Belgium’s flagship beer, named after co-founder Jeff Lebesch’s ride on a fat tire bike through Europe in 1988, three years before he founded the brewing company.

6 WILL WORK FOR BEER The entire festival is run by volunteers. If you and your friends decide to group up and help out, you’re guaranteed two free New Belgium beverages.

5 GAME SHOW GALORE You can win your own 2016 New Belgium bike by hitting up The Bike is Right! game show at the festival.

4 CRAZY COSTUMES Minions, afros, anime characters, couch cushions and German Oktoberfest getups are just a few common costume choices for Tour de Fat participants.

3 THE JOURNEY

2 BRING THE WHOLE FAM In addition to the crazy costumes and gallons of beer, Tour de Fat has a Kid’s Area 51 with a jungle gym, little bikes and games.

1 MO MONEY, MO PROBLEMS New Belgium does not keep a single cent of the money made at Tour de Fat. All proceeds go directly to local bike groups in Tempe.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | SEPTEMBER 22, 2016

This year’s Tour de Fat will traverse through some of Tempe’s hottest spots, allowing cyclists to show off their bikes and costumes down Mill Avenue, past “A” Mountain and around Tempe Town Lake.

AN APPLE A DAY

5 FALL RECIPES THAT PUT APPLE PIE TO SHAME MADISON RUTHERFORD • COLLEGE TIMES

F

all is here, which means football season is in full swing and the weather has finally dropped below 100 degrees. That also means it’s time to swap summer fruits like melons and mangoes for the more Autumn-apt apple. Here are five sweet and savory recipes that prove when life hands you apples, you don’t always have to make apple pie. (Disclaimer: We’re not dissing apple pie, we just want to help you avoid being #basic.)

Meat and potatoes are so passé.

Add a twist to a classic hash recipe by replacing the veggies with apples. Dice up your apple and add a dash of olive oil, a chopped onion and some Italian sausage, throw into a skillet and season with rosemary and thyme.

Full recipe: http://bit.ly/2cFp61T

2. DIY CIDER Making your own apple cider is a lot easier than you may think. After you juice your apples, get innovative with your seasoning by adding cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon or brown sugar.

Full recipe: http://bit.ly/1qFYodh

Step up your breakfast game by cooking up some fall-themed flapjacks.

Add some lemon zest, vanilla extract or cinnamon for an extra oomph and sprinkle powdered sugar on top to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Full recipe: http://bit.ly/2cfnyjf

4. LET THE CHIPS FALL Peel your apples and pop them in the oven to make some crispy, caramelized apple chips. Season with cinnamon or nutmeg to perfectly capture the flavor of fall.

Full recipe: http://bit.ly/2cPRRxO

5. SOUPED UP Who says you can’t mix fruits and veggies? Chop up your apples and toss them into a pot with some broth, onions, garlic, carrots and ginger. You can also experiment with other vegetables like potatoes or add a little zest with paprika or turmeric to concoct a cornucopia of sweet, salty and spicy.

SOMETHING’S FISHY

AHIPOKI BOWL COMING TO TEMPE MEGHANN FINN SEPULVEDA AND CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

T

empe residents and ASU students will have another dining destination next year: Ahipoki Bowl.

The Hawaiian-inspired diced seafood concept arrived in Scottsdale earlier this year.

Ahipoki Bowl, which originated in California in 2015, has six locations in California and Arizona. Managing partners Jason Jantzen and Mike Zimmerman expanded the concept with the launch of a second Arizona location in Chandler at 820 N. 54th St. on July 21.

The Tempe restaurant will be located at 1015 S. Rural Road, near Apache Road. The building formerly was home to The College Store but is being turned into a newly redesigned

structure called The Wedge. It is tentatively slated to open March 1, 2017.

NUTRITIOUS & DELICIOUS Today, more people are seeking fast, healthy meals.

Ahipoki Bowl offers a variety of fresh seafood, signature sauces and toppings, perfect for those looking for low-calorie, highprotein options.

“We call this guilt-free eating,” says Jantzen. “It makes a great light lunch or dinner but it’s also extremely filling.”

When you arrive at Ahipoki Bowl in either location, you’ll make your way up to the counter to place your order by first selecting a size: regular (two scoops) or large (three scoops).

THESE DISHES INCORPORATE AHI TUNA, SALMON, SPICY TUNA, MASAGO, CRAB SALAD, CUCUMBER, DAIKON, SPROUTS AND SESAME SEEDS ON A BED OF RICE.

From there, you’ll move on to choose your base of either white rice, brown rice, organic green salad or half and half. Then, you’ll pick between avocado, crab meat or onion as a side item before selecting your main dish: tuna, spicy tuna, salmon, albacore or yellowtail or fully cooked options like shrimp, octopus and scallops. Vegetarian meals are also available.

Next, you’ll pick from Ahipoki Bowl’s four unique sauces including house, house spicy, spicy creamy and sweet citrus.

“The sauce really adds a lot of flavor,” Jantzen said. “Our most popular is the house sauce.”

Finally, you’ll choose from toppings like masago, ginger, wasabi, fresh cucumber, seaweed salad, roasted seaweed, jicama, crab meat, daikon sprouts, sesame seeds, crispy onions, green onions or chili flakes.

House-brewed teas such as Thai tea, made with cream and sugar, unsweetened matcha green tea and a tropical tea blend consisting of mango and passion fruit complement the bowl.

KEEP IT FRESH Ahipoki Bowl utilizes only the highest quality ingredients and fresh seafood, which are prepared daily.

The restaurant prides itself on being fast and affordable for everyone from business professionals to busy families, by offering regular bowls for $8.95 and large bowls for $10.75.

An extra scoop of protein is an additional $1.75.

Plenty of seating is available for those who wish to dine in, but Jantzen says many customers take their meal to go.

CAN’T STOP, WON’T STOP ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | SEPTEMBER 22, 2016

Jantzen and Zimmerman don’t plan on slowing down after opening the third Arizona location next spring.

“We are looking at four or five more locations in Arizona based on the popularity of the concept,” Jantzen said. “Our success has exceeded well beyond our expectations.”

What’s your favorite social media platform?

I use Snapchat most often so I guess that’s my favorite.

It’s quick, easy, and my friends and I can see what each other is doing.

What’s your favorite social media platform?

Reddit. I like to read stories and keep up to date with what my homeboys are doing. There are a lot of good memes too; I’m quite the memer.

Do you think social media helps people stay connected or distracted?

I think it does both but it’s better at keeping people connected. Especially Snapchat and Twitter.

They show what’s happening right now.

Facebook is more for connecting with older friends, but Twitter really keeps you in the “now.”

Do you think having a strong social media presence is important?

It really depends on the person. I don’t think it’s important in my life. I don’t use Facebook a lot, so if you’re my friend on there, you don’t see much.

But Snapchat and Twitter show what I’m up to in my day-to-day life. People can see my changing interests and things I enjoy doing if we’re friends on there.

Do you think social media helps people stay connected or distracted?

I’d lean toward connected because you can talk to anybody, anywhere. I can be sitting next to someone and send them a text if I don’t want to talk.

Do you think having a strong social media presence is important?

I do not because, to be fair, I log in to Facebook once a month. I don’t think it’s essential. I prefer using more “real” stuff like Snapchat or text messages because it’s more direct.

BIKES AND BEER TOUR DE FAT BRINGS COSTUMES, BREWS AND SUSTAINABILITY TO TEMPE KARA CURTIN • COLLEGE TIMES

T

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | SEPTEMBER 22, 2016

our de Fat is returning to Tempe Town Lake October 1, melding creativity, sustainability and philanthropy.

“It feels like Christmas morning,” says New Belgium’s Arizona Sales Manager Billy Apel, who has helped make the Tempe leg of the traveling Tour de Fat festival a success for five years.

“So many people come out in costume to bike together and drink beer together. There’s no one else that has an event like we do and we give all the money we raise to nonprofit organizations.”

The proceeds from the food, drinks, merchandise and tickets will be returned to Arizona residents through the Tempe Bicycle Action Group, a

nonprofit organization pushing to make cycling the foremost form of transportation around the Valley.

Staffed completely by volunteers and supported mainly by New Belgium Brewing Company, Tour de Fat has spanned nine cities across the Unites States for the last 15 years. It encourages attendees to join in their eclectic competitions and be a part of its movement toward a more sustainable Earth.

“We do a really cool event called the Slow-Ride competition,” says Apel. “It’s a 10- to 15-yard race, but the last one to finish wins. Seven or eight people try to ride as slow as they can while balancing and finishing last. A lot of people look forward to that and even practice for it.”

New Belgium, a brewery with a 99% diversion rate that produces less than 1% of waste, stocks Tempe Town Lake with largely “green” vendors, compost and recycle stations, and stations and trucks running on biofuel from recycled waste oils. As if this effort wasn’t refreshing enough, New Belgium finds one volunteer each year to make a crucial sacrifice to lessen the environmental imprint.

“Every year someone trades in their car for a bike,” says Apel. “We sit down with whomever volunteers and make a custom commuter bike for them. We’ve made some pretty cool bikes. We usually find someone who trades in a second car they have that they might have on the side of their

voices

driveway and don’t drive often.

It’s a lot of fun to watch the ceremony at Tour, and it makes a bigger environmental difference than you think.”

Complementing the charitable achievement of Tour de Fat is the hilarity of the day’s entertainment. With the SlowRide competition, a dance competition, a game show to win a bike, a fashion showdown and a large list of musical acts, this day of cycling feels like Christmas morning, but resembles an early Halloween party.

“It’s always encouraged to ‘let your freak flag fly’ at Tour de Fat,” says Apel. “It’s all about celebrating beer, bikes and a great time. There’s about 15 employees from our brewery called ‘carnies’ and they dress

up all kind of crazy.

“We start planning what we’re going to wear to Tour de Fat months in advance. It’s never just waking up and deciding to wear this wig and this tutu. A lot of people work on both their costumes and their bikes way in advance. I’ll have random people come up to me at the park and tell me all the things they’ve fixed up on their bike just to ride it at Tour de Fat. The craziness all stemmed from that.”

While pumping air into your tires or searching for the perfectly kooky ensemble, be sure to listen to the psychedelic music of Dr. Dog, the festival’s headlining act who previously sold out the Marquee. Growing from years past, the 2016 Tour

de Fat will feature seven bands and a second stage showing off local Arizona musicians.

Tour de Fat is for the avid cycler or the newbie.

“With our core values and beliefs, we want to be a force for good with not only world class beers but also as a responsible, sustainable company,” says Apel. “The Tour de Fat can get crazy but we raised $109,000 for our sweet nonprofits last year. I’m confident that success will continue this year.”

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT STUDENT DEBT SCAMS MADISON RUTHERFORD • COLLEGE TIMES

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | SEPTEMBER 22, 2016

e’re all familiar with the broke college student stereotype: eating ramen for breakfast, lunch, study munchies and dinner, mooching off the neighbor’s WiFi and settling for slow internet instead of setting up your own. Here’s the kicker: nearly 70% of public university students will suffer the postgraduation pitfall of student debt.

Another college cliché is that students are always on their smartphones. When they’re not studying or napping, they’re tweeting, snapping, texting, gramming or gabbing.

The idea that college students are perennially penniless and constantly on their phones 16 makes them the perfect target

for phone scams that threaten them by demanding money or lure them with too-good-to-betrue concepts like relieving or

Lavelle says that these scams are so successful because a large portion of Americans actually are in some form of debt and are unaware if or what they owe.

“They’re just relying on people being ignorant to both the rules and regulations of how the IRS operates and also just their own personal situation,” Lavelle contends.

He says college students are especially susceptible because

many of them are at least partially supported by their parents, causing them to be uninformed about their funds.

“There’s also all these different types of student loan programs, so there’s a lot of different paperwork,” Lavelle adds. “If a student or a collegeaged person is unfamiliar with their financial situation, I think that’s what makes them more vulnerable.”

Lavelle says there are two ways to get smart on student scams: know how to detect a fraudulent phone call and get educated about your financial situation.

“Whether they’re scams or whether they’re some unscrupulous company trying to take advantage of someone who

doesn’t know their situation, what they really tend to rely on is getting you to make that sort of split-second decision,” he explains. “The first thing to do is to never just agree to anything or make quick decisions on the phone, specifically if you’re encountering someone from the IRS or the government.”

Lavelle says the IRS always uses “snail mail” as the first means of communication.

Increasingly they are sending emails, but they typically never call people on the phone.

“The idea of someone calling you on the phone to get you to either transfer your loans one way or actually invest money, that’s probably the single biggest red flag,” he says. “I would suggest just hanging up on them

own way, Lavelle says it’s paramount to know exactly how much you owe and when to pay it.

He also says to be aware of deferment programs available for those in a financial funk.

Another simple but sure-fire solution: don’t pick up the phone.

“If you do a simple Google news search, what you’ll see is hundreds of results, literally almost every day from local news sites where the police department or the sheriff’s office say, ‘Don’t pick up your phone, don’t talk to these people that claim you owe money from the IRS,’” says

Lavelle.

Technological tools like PeopleLooker are also helpful in staying wise on who’s calling.

PeopleLooker, which is geared toward millennials, offers a reverse phone lookup that can be useful to dig up dirt on a Tinder date or get the deets on a mystery caller.

PeopleLooker has a “spam score” to let users know the likelihood of the caller being a fraud.

Lavelle says the student debt crisis is not a new topic, but getting educated on ways to stay on top of it can eliminate scams and extra stress.

and jotting down the number and informing the police because the IRS never calls you directly and demands payments.”

Lavelle admits there is a small chance that the call could be from a legitimate student loan company, but it’s always wise to request an updated letter showing your account information in writing. It may seem like common sense to avoid blindly giving a stranger your debit card information or social security number over the phone, but these scammers are glib and depend on gullibility. The first line of defense is to be conscious about your cash flow.

GCU HOTEL AND RESTAURANT SERVES UP MEANINGFUL MEMORIES MADISON RUTHERFORD • COLLEGE TIMES

he Grand Canyon University Hotel wasn’t always an oasis of Antelope pride and upscale suites.

The 155-room hotel was built in the 1960s as a Knights Inn. The hotel’s varied history also includes stints as a Days Inn, a Comfort Inn and a Quality Inn. “I can tell you there was not a lot of ‘quality’ left in the building,” jokes Brett Cortright, the hotel’s general manager and founder of GCU’s hospitality management program.

Cortright, with a push from Diamondbacks founder and former Suns owner Jerry Colangelo, formed the hospitality management program at GCU last year. The university purchased the hotel in 2014 and renovated it “from 18 beyond the bottom to above

the top,” according to Cortright.

They replaced the fixtures, furniture, carpet, bathtubs, sinks and decoration in all the rooms and built a resort-style pool. They recently finished renovations to the lobby and opened Canyon 49, a threemeal restaurant and bar.

“The hotel was really purchased for two reasons,” says Cortright. “The main reason was to serve as a kind of learning laboratory for the hospitality management students. It was also purchased as part of our overall goal to basically clean up and revitalize this whole area that our university is surrounded by.”

Half of the hotel and restaurant’s staff is comprised of students from the university. Hospitality management students are

required to have 600 hours of industry experience before they graduate. Cortright, who earned an international business degree from ASU, says they come from varying levels of expertise and backgrounds. If a student has had several years of experience or demonstrates exceptional performance, they become

a “hospitality administrator.”

Cortright describes this position as his “right and left arm in running the hotel.” The first hospitality administrator he ever hired was just offered an assistant general manager position at a Hilton property, a farewell that Cortright says was bittersweet.

“She’s still a senior, she

hasn’t even graduated yet,” says Cortright. “Of course I hated to see her go, but that’s why I’m here.”

By “here” Cortright means the hospitality industry, which he refers to as a “memory making business.”

“The best part about the way CONTINUES ON 19

Canyon 49 features a patio with a gaming area that includes a beanbag toss and ping pong and hosts happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m. Cortright says the mood shifts into a “late-night coffee bar” featuring live music from GCU students.

“What we’ve tried to create is an environment that somebody would be able to have a lunch in 30 minutes or

stay for three hours,” he says.

Cortright says the hotel’s next project is to add some banquet or ballroom space, or even a full-blown conference center, but the main focus will always be education and lasting memories.

“You develop strong, professional relationships with these people, you get so much joy out of making other people happy that it’s almost unfair to get paid to do it,” he says.

THE GREEN CHILE PORK MAC IS A POPULAR CHOICE ON CANYON 49’S DINNER MENU.

PATRONS OF THE GCU RESTAURANT CAN ENJOY HAPPY HOUR EVERY DAY FROM 4 P.M. TO 6 P.M.

we set up this program is it gives students a very realistic look at what this career is like and some people are just born for this business,” he elaborates.

“They take extreme satisfaction in making people happy.”

Cortright says he has made thousands of memories in his 15-year hospitality career, but the most rewarding part is instilling wisdom and experience in his students.

“I feel like, not only am I making memories every day at the hotel, but I’m making the memory makers,” he says.

“I impress upon my students every day that if they don’t enjoy enhancing other people’s lives and making once-in-alifetime memories for people, then they’re in the wrong business.”

Cortright says the goal of Grand Canyon University is to “raise up the west side of Phoenix and enhance the lives of everyone involved.”

He believes the hotel is instrumental in perpetuating the mission of the university.

In fact, the Phoenix Police Department recently commended him for pushing crime out of the area at an

alarming rate. When asked what his secret is, Cortright says safety has always been one of the hotel’s biggest priorities.

“We put a large gate around the whole place, we put security officers at every entrance and we make sure that everyone who comes in and out of here is here for the right reasons,” he explains. “If that means that we have a hotel room sit empty, well we’re just fine with that, and maybe that’s not an option for every hotel in the Valley, but it’s the only option for a hotel that’s near a university.”

Cortright says his education at ASU was a solid foundation in teaching him about how to run a business, but it was his time at the Ritz-Carlton that gave him the tools he needed to effectively train and educate his students. Cortright says it’s something that is hard to translate in a classroom.

“They invest in their staff and their managers in training... learning how to treat people, from our employees to our guests,” he says. “There’s really no reason to treat our employees any differently than we treat our guests and The Ritz-Carlton has a motto that says ‘We are ladies and

gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen’ and that phrase right there really stuck with me.”

In August, the hotel opened its restaurant, Canyon 49, named after the year GCU was established. With a menu that includes coffee, cocktails, sandwiches, burgers and pizza, Cortright says he wanted to create a versatile menu that would allow patrons to “eat there three or four times a

Newman’s resume reads more like a seasoned vet than a college student. He spent 2010 to 2013 with the Chandler High School newspaper. He was a reporter with the State Press from August 2013 to December 2015, and served as sports editor from December 2015 to May 2016.

He spent June and July at The Jerusalem Post and as assistant editor of Olympic magazine.

To prepare for the internship at The Jerusalem Post, Newman, who is of Jewish faith, took a couple classes about his religion.

“The Jerusalem Post is the most renowned, internationally,” he

member over the summer and we ended up using him for a number of general news stories as well as his sports assignments.”

THE COLLEGE EXPERIENCE Upon being named the State Press’ sports editor, Newman covered the Cactus Bowl with fellow staffers. Besides the excitement of covering big games, he enjoyed mentoring fledgling writers.

“Watching them grow was a lot of fun,” he says.

He anticipates graduating in spring 2017. He’s not sure what he would like to do, but he’s sure he wants to pursue sports journalism.

His life doesn’t revolve around sports journalism, however. When he’s with friends, they play video games or basketball, or watch TV shows like “Game of Thrones,” “The Office,” “The Simpsons” or “Family Guy.” Friends are key to his success, he says. He’s been a member of the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity since his freshman year.

“I have a good group of friends and it’s allowed me to be more confident in talking to people,” he says. “Jewish life at ASU is pretty strong, too.”

handler High School graduate Logan Newman has a common sense approach to success. At 20 years old, the ASU journalism student interned at The Jerusalem Post and he just returned home from covering the Rio Olympics with a contingent from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

For the former ASU State Press sports editor, it just comes down to hard work and perseverance.

“Hard work is definitely a big part of it, and when I undertake a project, I make sure it gets done,” Newman says.

“Overall, though, the biggest thing is getting experience.

You need to put yourself in situations that you feel a little uncomfortable in and grow from what you’ve learned. As long as you act professional, nobody will tell you that you can’t be

It’s an English newspaper, so I didn’t have to deal too much with the language barrier. A lot of people in Israel can speak some English.”

He covered several events and news stories in Israel, including Facebook’s apology for removing a pro-Israel post, the publication of an encyclopedia about great Jewish fighters, and Donald BlairSanford, an ASU graduate who joined the Maccabi Tel Aviv club team to run track.

The Jerusalem Post’s managing editor David Brinn was impressed with what he saw in Newman.

“Logan interned with us over the summer, primarily with our sports department. He played an integral role in producing our special pre-Olympics supplement which profiled all of the Israeli athletes who participated,” Brinn writes via email.

“Logan wrote a number of stories, attended press conferences and displayed poise and maturity, especially given the fact that he had to overcome language issues with many events and interviews taking place with non-English speakers. Logan turned into a dependable staff

PICTURE PERFECT D-BACKS STARTER ARCHIE BRADLEY DOCUMENTS LIFE IN BASEBALL WITH POLAROIDS

CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

P

laying Major League Baseball is a privilege and a right that needs to be earned with years of practice and experiences. D-backs starting pitcher Archie Bradley realizes this and knows the career of a ballplayer is limited.

He didn’t want to document his time with his cellphone camera and have the photos disappear into a cloud. So, while shopping at the Scottsdale Quarter, he picked up a

Polaroid camera.

Now a wall at the Scottsdale home he shares with third baseman Jake Lamb and infielder Phil Gosselin is covered with memories of “get togethers,” chance meetings with legends and family reunions.

“I started out when I was shopping one day and the store had a Polaroid camera there,” says the 24-year-old Bradley with his soft Oklahoma drawl.

“I took a couple Polaroids of my

buddies and I around the house.

One thing turned into another and I have a wall covered with photos.”

He takes the photos and notates on them the date and circumstances of the shots. What started as a fun time around the house, turned into a hobby that he takes on the road with him.

“You can only take so many pictures on your iPhone and it goes into the cloud,” he says. “A Polaroid is unique and special. I have about

150 to 200 photos with a date or note. I can look back and remember the exact moment with my friends and what’s going on.

“I have photos of different ballparks and people I look up to. I have photos of Vin Scully and Bob Uecker. They’re special memories and I’m documenting my time in the big leagues.”

That includes goofing around with Lamb and Gosselin. During a campaign to get Lamb on the National League All-Star Team, the three participated in a Diamondbacks-created video that mocked the Jake from State Farm commercials.

“We always have good times at the house,” he says. “We can look back at it quite a few years down the road and have a few memories.”

Bradley, who purchases film from Amazon Prime, recently bought a mini Polaroid so he can fill in those little crevices on the wall that the full-size pictures don’t cover.

His most prized possession among his collection?

“The morning after my little brother got married, my family and I took photos,” he says. “The photos tell their own stories. I have photos of when my best friends come to visit, ‘get togethers’—not parties—we have on off days.

“They’re special and unique in their own right.”

It’s all about having fun during a trying season.

“Unfortunately, the season isn’t going the way we planned,” he says. “We’re working really hard to try to win baseball games. We’re playing to our best ability.

“On top of that, we want to have fun and make the most of the

opportunities that we’re given. I know it’s special and rare to play in baseball—especially side by side with Jake being one of my best friends. It’s an awesome time and we’re just trying to make the most of it and have the most fun we can while trying to be the best baseball players we can be.”

omedian Dane Cook admits he’s shy.

He can play in front of crowds of 20,000-plus fans, but when it comes to one-toone interaction, it’s a struggle.

“I’m fortunate that I’ve never been a nervous performer,” says Cook, calling from Palm Springs, California, where he was filming an undisclosed movie.

“I’ve made a joke about this in the past: I can play for arenas full of people. I’ll be literally excited with a little nervous energy. I’m not at all trepidatious. But with the meet and greets, my shyness from way back is there.”

Cook is scheduled to play in front of thousands at Ak-Chin Pavilion on Sunday, October 2, as part of the Funny or Die Presents Oddball Comedy and Curiosity Festival Tour. Hosted

by Jeff Ross, Oddball brings Cook together with Bridget Everett, Iliza Shlesinger, Jim Jefferies, Kumail Nanjiani, Matthew Broussard, Sebastian Maniscalco, Tom Segura.

“The invite came out of leftfield,” says Cook, who has been cast as Robbie in Starz’ “American Gods.” “I was gearing up for my own tour.

I’ve been writing new material the last couple of years. I was just about to schedule tour dates and we heard from Oddball.

“I’ve always wanted to be a part of the festival, but I’ve never been able to make that happen. All of my friends have been on it.”

Cook—who took a break from the road after a series of personal tragedies, including the deaths of his parents—says he will deliver well-crafted material. He worked out the kinks at previous shows to prepare for Oddball.

“I have a pretty good idea of how people are going to receive the new material,” he says. “At a place like The Improv on a Wednesday night in L.A., you’re getting a wide array of people in there. I don’t have to get on the road early on to feel confident about it.”

He’s also feeling confident about some of his upcoming projects, including a TV show that’s in development. Cook says he’s in talks with networks as well as outlets like Netflix and Amazon.

“A few years ago I was frustrated that a show I was going to get going wasn’t

connecting,” he says. “I’m glad it didn’t go the way I hoped.

“These days, as an artist, you have even more freedom. I want to offer a show that really, truly represents my thoughts and feelings completely,

as opposed to adhering to networks or advertising.”

Cook says he feels he’s on the cutting edge of a new breed of entertainment outlets “I like going into things

Bradley blends the best of classic country with the sounds of Freddie King and The Rolling Stones. He grabbed the attention of the music industry with the 2014 release of his debut single, “New Kind of Lonely” from the EP “Freedom Like This.” The song earned airplay on 100plus country radio stations throughout the nation, and led to a threeweek showcase on SiriusXM’s breakout country station, “The Highway.”

he Welsh indie rock band Catfish and the Bottlemen has some pretty lofty promises when it comes to its live shows.

“I just think it sounds big,” says singer Van McCann, who brings his band to Ak-Chin Pavilion in Phoenix to open for Mumford and Sons on Wednesday, October 5.

“We try and make the sound pin you to the back

wall. It’s just the four of us playing the song like the record, but on steroids.”

Catfish and the Bottlemen are coming to the United States for a 45-date tour fresh off a

successful summer in the United Kingdom, where they play arenas.

“Because we’re from here, the reception we get is wild,” says McCann, calling from the United

Kingdom. “We’ve been putting our own mini festivals on back home.

Things have gotten bigger now.

“This album has taken us out of music venues

and put us outside. We’ve been curating our own festivals with our friends’ bands.”

The band is promoting its sophomore album “The Ride,” which was

we came out with the album.”

McCann adds he loves everything about his job— including visiting the United States.

“It’s surreal waking up in a different city knowing that there are people inside those venues singing the songs,” he says. “I just hope they understand the accent, never mind what I’m singing about.

“Making it in the United States is

something we want to do. It’s definitely on our to-do list and its right at the top. It’s more important than shopping.”

It’s important to remember that not all heroes wear capes, Taurus.

Chipotle uniforms and Panda Express hats can also be a sign of heroism. Keep an eye out for some culinary courage this week, especially after that big party.
