Mark Kelly trades in his Tesla for a tank and calls Elon Musk an ā€œa**holeā€ on live TV. Meanwhile, LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith reignite a 21-year ego feud, and we break down one of the weirdest music videos in NYPD history, and tap into our inner-nostradamus with some free agency predictions that came true post-taping.

Also in this (unusually compressed) episode:

• IN MEMORIAM – one that actually matters

• Devin Booker isn’t leaving Phoenix. Enough.

• Errors & Omissions: stuff we got wrong (or didn’t mean to lie about)

Raw commentary, absurd news, and just enough facts to survive the group chat. Subscribe for semi-weekly chaos, callouts, and advice from AZ to NJ.

006 | yankees using TORPEDO BATS?!

Send us a text

006 | Torpedo bats. OMNY & TAPP to-pay systems. Drunk mayors. You can’t make this up—but Concrete Cactus can break it down.
🧨 The Bronx Bombers are back—but this time, they brought missiles. Is it innovation... or war crimes at the plate? We—and by ā€˜we,’ we mean just Brandon—give the Yankees’ torpedo bat conspiracy a fresh pair of legs.
Also in this episode:
– We drive you into ā€œGod’s countryā€ā€”and all its pothole-filled glory.
– Fresh off going independent, Mayor Eric Adams advocates for his initiative dubbed ā€˜Cop City.’
– Arizona’s Stolen Valor law stalls—after a real veteran blocks it to protect a fake one. Only in the desert, baby.
– The Giants’ QB room becomes a heavenly Oreo: two devout saints on the outside and a wiseguy in the middle.
All that—plus some soul-searching sandwiched between the nonsense.
It’s deep. It’s regional. It's ā€œLightweight Hilariousā€. It’s Cactus.
