In this episode of Mixed Signals, we sit down with the founding members of CU Boulder’s premier all-male a cappella group, In The Buff. They break down how the ensemble first came together, sharing the behind-the-scenes stories that shaped their early days—from the history behind their unforgettable name to the origin of their initiation traditions. Plus, we trace a surprising connection that wraps all the way back to the University of Oregon. Tune in for a story about brotherhood, connections, and friendships that last decades.

Nick and Sanjay open the podcast by catching up in their original studio, reminiscing about their old show Film Surgery and KWVA, while Sanjay shares updates about his family's upcoming move to a larger house in Beaverton. The pair discuss their excitement for attending an evening screening of the Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, alongside their friend Griffin. They highlight details about the film, including Jaafar Jackson starring as his uncle, the recreation of iconic videos like "Thriller" and "Billie Jean," and the involvement of Michael Jackson's original choreographers. Turning to music and film debates, they share their favorite tracks—such as "Rock with You" and songs from the Thriller album—before discussing poorly cast movie roles, where Sanjay criticizes Jared Leto's portrayal of the Joker. Finally, they dive into Marvel theories, making joke predictions about Robert Downey Jr.'s return as Dr. Doom in Avengers: Doomsday and analyzing an IMAX poster for Spider-Man: Brand New Day to point out Easter eggs teasing Daredevil, Miles Morales, and the Venom symbiote.
