Episode 7: President's Day 2018
Explicit content warning
02/19/18 • 27 min
Total transparency, we recorded this a little bit before President’s Day. However, we wanted to share our thoughts on the SOTUS from earlier this month and the other current events/pop cultural "nuggets" that came out of it. We also took a moment to interview Dan Johnson, a military veteran who spent over 30 years in the U.S. Air Force. He discusses his life in Brooklyn in the 70's and 80's as a person of Black/Latino descent, how the armed forces put him on a path towards success and of course, who his favorite U.S. president was.
Other things to keep in mind...
- You may or may not want to watch The Purge: Election Year (as of us writing this it's on HBO Go/HBO Now, should you want to view).
- Dan mentions the word "jingo" multiple times. Here's the history of this word if you're interested [LINK].
- Here's more reading on chain immigration for those interested

Episode 8: The Week Joe Was Away
So last week, Joe took a few days off to explore Paris, France with his fiance which left Jordan looking for someone to temporarily replace him. While one would think it was an easy task finding a co-host for one episode, the truth is it's kind of difficult to fill Joe's Vans Sk8-Hi's. Fortunately, Jordan managed to find someone who is practically the spitting image of Joe to record with him.
Topics discussed...
- Parisian food
- Sacré-Cœur
- "Dead Presidents" which is on HBO Go/Now
- "Spider-Man II" (which Jordan, surprisingly, is not a huge fan of) and "Spider-Man: Homecoming"
- How ill Bokeem Woodbine is (you seriously need to watch that episode of "The Sopranos" with him if you haven't)
- How Sean Bean stays dying
- "Menace II Society"
Special thanks to Tyrone Gorin, Asia, Keith and Joe's brother, Mike, for being a part of this podcast!
