The LIV, a Middle East backed professional golf league, was making headlines as their first tournament kicked off. It was very polarizing for those who love the sport, and just residents of Portland where it kicked off. And, don't get us started on the World Cup being held in Qatar this year. Talk about corrupt. Yikes. The Supreme Court gave the police more rights on top of forcing women to not have control over their bodies. They are out of control and truly don't care about the rights of our citizens. Politicians don't help. They only have their best interest in mind when speaking towards ..read more

With the overturning of Roe V. Wade, there were several justices who lied about overturning it. Not only do they continually deny equal rights to marginalized people, but lied when they said that they would uphold the law in accordance to how it helps the masses. And women have lost autonomy over their bodies, once again. Lightyear, the new movie by Pixar, was getting ridiculed for the same sex couple represented in the film. People say that it didn't align with the wholesome family dynamic that Disney stood for, which is under aged girls fall in love with a prince, get married, and live happ ..read more

Petri Dish vs. Peach Tree Dish. Yes, a person who is responsible for representing the constituents in their state said this. I mean, it's no Gazpacho, but it's close. We talk about how conversations between the political left and right have lost sight of actually being productive, and are nothing more than vitriolic children arguing over a toy, how Elon Musk is not a real leader, but a thief and an Oligarch, and how great Obi Wan and Moon Knight were, a myriad of other things, as well as this being a very long sentence. Jeremy and Kirk bring their honest insight in a fun and highly opinionate ..read more

The horrific events that have been happening in the country in regards to mass shootings needs to stop. It is so disheartening to our nation, and the psyche of the people as a whole. Steve Kerr, Head Coach of the Golden State Warriors had strong words on the matter, since his father was gunned downed by terrorists in Beirut. His team, the Warriors are back in the NBA Finals and it should be fun. We also talk about Ray Liotta passing away and Jeremy's brief but memorable conversation with a fellow Yankee fan in an  airport lounge. Jeremy and Kirk bring their honest insight in a fun and hi ..read more

Do you have friends, or acquaintances? And, do you really even need friends if you're The Batman™? Probably not. And, when are we going to let companies, like Beyond Meat, fail? Their business model isn't working, yet continually get funding. And, now that climate change is showing it's ugly head, bodies are starting to surface in Lake Meed in Nevada. Yikes. Jeremy and Kirk bring their honest insight in a fun and highly opinionated way. It's always fun, and always entertaining.  Give it a listen.

Roe V. Wade was a pivotal point in our nation's history. It followed a series of important events that happened in this nation and truly solidified a woman's right to choose what happens to their body. Last week the Supreme Court had information leak that would overturn this revered right for women.  This week we speak with women on our podcast and hear their perspective and how a woman's right to choose played a role in their lives, and the effect that this ruling could have on other civil rights as well.  It's one of our best and most powerful episodes yet. This podcast is all a ..read more

Getting old sucks. And, with that, comes achy joints and nagging health issues. Jeremy and Kirk both talk about their bad hips, how the oil industry is slowly killing us, why abortion is a woman's right to choose, Elon buying twitter when he could have ended world hunger, holding strong to your morals and integrity, breaking up the country into smaller countries, World Cup, and watching movies. Yeah, very eclectic, but super fun and insightful as usual.   This podcast is all about letting people know our perspective on food, culture, and branding aspects of things.
