You thinking what I'm thinking? A podcast featuring the hottest of takes and very possibly over analyzing the littlest of things.

    Sexy M&Ms

    Sexy M&Ms

    This one might get you a little bit steamy or rather it might actually be a mood killer because the woke mob media can’t let simple folk enjoy sexy anthropomorphized candy mascots. Yes, you read that right. There was a bit of kerfuffle a while back on the internet because Mars Inc., the makers of M&M’s decided to redesign their mascots and in doing so they reduced the femininity and sex appeal of the green and brown M&M. Now while we have to deal with the fact that Tucker Carlson went on a huge rant about how he can no longer derive sexual pleasure from these mascots, could there be another reason why Mars launched this rebrand?

    Fellow podcast person Alex joins me this week as we get deep in the topic.

    Businesses Arent Job Creators

    Businesses Arent Job Creators

    We’ve long heard the idea that businesses are job creators. But is this true? This position/ideology is frequently used for government/financial policy to aid business/wealthy individuals. It might be time to rethink this position. I’m joined by special podcast person Alex as we look at this issue further.

    Does Satire Work

    Does Satire Work

    We all know and love satirical works, right? Well, maybe there are some who don’t and that’s okay. The real question is does satire work? Do people recognize a work being satirical? Or do people take a work at face value and are oblivious to the issues being raised or questioned? Satire is often used as a means to critique thoughts/people/practices/etc. to bring about some kind of change. Special podcast person Alex joins me in the discussion to find out if this is the case.

    That’s it for this week. Stay tuned for an all new, all different episode dropping soon. Also, don’t forget to check out the award winning podcast October Jones and Fish with Legs.

    Do We Need Unions

    Do We Need Unions

    You might have seen that workers at an Amazon warehouse in New York unionized. Even though this is a big event as it’s the first time a union effort has been successful at the monolith that Amazon, there’s been a downward trend of unionization overall. You might be thinking, is this a big deal? Do we even still need unions?

    That’s what we’re looking at this week, at how unions are a vital part of our working environment even though there is large anti-union sentiment out there. Special podcast person Alex joins me in this discussion.

    That’s it for this week. Stay tuned for an all new, all different episode dropping soon. Also, don’t forget to check out the award winning podcast October Jones and Fish with Legs.

    Tearing Down Statues

    Tearing Down Statues

    If you remember in 2020… or was it 2021? At any rate, some time ago there was a big push to take down statues of certain individuals. As always, we here keep our finger on the pulse of current but regardless, in Canada the focus was mainly on those associated with the Residential School System and in the States the focus was on those in the Confederacy.

    Should statues/monuments be taken down? By doing so are we erasing history? I’m joined by special podcast person Alex as we take a look at these and maybe other questions.

    That’s it for this week. Stay tuned for an all new, all different episode dropping soon. Also, don’t forget to check out the award winning podcast October Jones and Fish with Legs.
