This week I'm talking about small businesses, how they succeed, why they fail, and whether or not they are worth supporting.

Happy New Year! To kick off 2023, I'm discussing why I find reviews arbitrary and pointless as well as why they can be difficult to trust. 

I hope you're ready for a rant because this week I'm tackling the conservative "War on Christmas" narrative they seem to want to rehash every single year. There is no War on Christmas, conservatives are not victims in a liberal conspiracy, and if you want to be mad at corporations be mad that they are exploiting you for a profit not that they say "Happy Holiday's" instead of "Merry Christmas"

This week I ask for help to talk burnout - my thoughts about how it was handled in the past, some of the parenting situations that contribute to it, and why social media seems to exacerbate it. Also covered - why it's ok to be selfish, allowing yourself to be vulnerable, and trying to cope with holiday pressure! 

This week I'm watching my favorite Christmas movie, Jingle All The Way, and talking you through it. Why? Because it's an awful movie and you shouldn't have to spend an hour and a half watching it. Let some doofus like me who actually likes it give you the highlights instead.

Special guest Rebecca joins us this week to discuss people using "culture" as an excuse to be cruel to others. The lesson here is don't be cruel to others.

Happy Thanksgiving Listeners! Today's episode is mostly about the best possible Thanksgiving feast you can produce - with a gentle reminder that not all of us are fortunate enough to have a nice meal with our friends and families. I'm thankful for each and every one of my listeners and hope you're having an incredible holiday!

This week Steve dives in to the many controversies surrounding the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, how it was allowed to take place, and what we can do to make sure we hold future countries to a much higher standard.

Minutes ago I finished watching the 2022 film All Quiet on the Western Front, got on my computer, and recorded my thoughts on the powerful imagery and messages from the film. Plenty of movie spoilers ahead, but the content makes for an important conversation. 

With the mid-term election right around the corner, Steve brings back special guest Rebecca to discuss abortion, why the rhetoric around anti-choice is BS, and what we can do to address some of the gaps in our society.
