Summary: In this second episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with none other than singer/producer and host Nick Lachey (1:13) about headlining this summer’s MY2K Tour with 98Degrees, as well as taking a journey behind the artists and albums that served as the foundation of his musical career, plus, how television became an unexpected career changer. I also go toe to toe with WWE’s SummerSlam event (24:13) happening this Sunday. My good friend Andrew Goldstein joins me to discuss what fans can expect this weekend, and the bigger picture on whether the WWE can continue its ratings dominance in a digital streaming world. And I'll also recap Baz Luhrmann’s new multicultural Netflix musical THE GET DOWN (43:31), along with the most relevant entertainment stories of the week,as well as share my review of KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS, a movie I believe is the frontrunner to win the Best Animated Film at next year's Oscar Awards (41:42). Hint, it comes out this weekend! Delving deeper on our interview with Nick Lachey, he is one of the more versatile people in show business. He’s the lead singer for 98 Degrees who has sold over 10M albums worldwide, an actor who has appeared on film and on the small screen, a producer of hit programs, a host for various popular TV shows and a savvy business entrepreneur. But what is most admirable about Nick is his longevity in the business. He always seems to take on projects that keep him relevant, fresh and somehow grounded. We discuss how he's managed to stay so humble despite so much praise and attention in his career, how Stevie Wonder, Brian McKnight, Dave Grohl left such a mark on him, his experience on being a part of the legendary Motown record label, meeting Michael Jackson, a deep breakdown of his "2.0" album and tracks, plus, what a discussion on who and what makes a great lead singer of a boy band.
