Episode 8: "of the world"

You didn't think we'd leave you guys hanging before the New Year, did ya? This episode is very special to us... it's the first time we were physically together when we recorded it, AND, that means, we also filmed it. That's right, you'll get to not only listen to, but WATCH this episode and actually SEE your favorite brother/sister duo (YouTube link below). Well, let's get to it... in this episode we're doing some reflecting on the year 2020 (in the future, I sense this will be like saying "Voldemort") and all of the major stuff that went on. We also touch upon spirituality, astrology, and that pesky Mandela Effect. Time is a funny thing, isn't it? It's been the longest yet shortest year. Also, the most stressful yet the most restful. Anyway, we hope you enjoy the episode. Oh, and have a happy new year! YouTube: https://youtu.be/sjB5I9OjsK4 Keeping it real, Griff & Dev

Episode 7: Not everybody was Kung Fu fighting

What's goin' on here, friends? Cheers to episode 7, and to stick with the theme of last week's episode, we're sharing our own expertise as guests on our own show! Today we’re talking all things self-defense with Griffin Coombs... Griffin is a self-defense teacher, researcher, and practitioner. A lifelong martial artist, he took the official plunge into the world of self-defense and personal safety in 2011 when he began his training in Israeli Krav Maga. Alongside 7 years of week-in, week-out training, Griffin spent that time teaching self-defense, both as a personal contractor and as an affiliate of the pre-eminent Krav Maga training center of the Northeastern United States. Now in Tangier, Morocco, his research, teaching, and training continue in their most eclectic form to date. In this conversation, you’ll hear him addressing the differences between martial arts and self-defense, and how to effectively balance your training. We also get into the fundamentals of situational awareness, we discuss the glorification of violence in self-defense training, and lots more. Enjoy! Oh, and message us on Instagram, will ya? We love to hear from our listeners!

Episode 5: "Biting Your Own Teeth"

Happy Election Day? Yeah, we aren't sure, either. What the hell is goin' on here? Where's the line between intuition and psychological blind spots? Do the ends ever justify the means? Be it with pandemic-related laws or manipulation of information. Why do we let history repeat itself? Do private tech companies really function like private tech companies?

Episode 3: Identities with Tony Porterfield

What's goin' on, friends? Sorry for the episode 3 delay, it's been quite a strange week for us - Mercury's in retrograde, am I right? Anyway, we're super excited to bring you this episode; we had an awesome conversation with our guest, Tony Porterfield. Tony is a gay, Trump supporter who grew up in the Northeast, but has since found where he belongs in the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, loving every minute of it. Tony's dive into politics only recently began in 2016 leading up to the presidential election. In this episode we talk to Tony about what's goin' on with the upcoming election, reconciling LGBT rights with his support for Trump, what it's like from living in New England to Mississippi, and blurred lines between anti-discrimination and government overreach. Let us know what you think after you've given it a listen - follow us on Instagram @whats_goin_on_here. Oh, and make sure you subscribe on one of the many platforms we're on.

Episode 1: Hypocrisy

What's Goin' On Here? Real talk in a world that stopped listening. Hey, everyone! We're Griffin and Devon, the Coombs siblings, and we're excited/terrified for our podcast debut! There's so much to be gained from open-minded discussion and nuanced conversations, and we think this has become lost on much of the world. It seems as though we've just stopped listening - stopped listening to rationale, stopped listening to the other side of the argument, stopped listing to each other, and stopped listening to ourselves. We're hoping to bring a more balanced, less polarized conversation into the mix that that will garner people's attention and maybe, just maybe, remind us all to listen. For our first episode, we're hitting you with what's goin' on with this virus, U.S. politics, and hypocrisies. We hope you enjoy the listen! Keeping it real, Griff & Dev
