04/01/24 • 52 min

In this whirlwind episode of Unfiltered Union, Russ and Lindz navigate the chaotic waters of rebranding, riveting guest encounters, and the unfiltered realities of the entertainment industry. They kick off with a candid reflection on their recent guests, from Bitcoin sage Chris Reavis to Sergio Halabi with his ancient civilization revelations, and the insightful Reverend Katie O'Donnell. The conversation takes a darker turn as they delve into the harrowing documentary "Quiet on Set," exposing the underbelly of childhood stardom and the systemic abuses in Hollywood. From there, they shift gears to share their amusement park escapades, detailing the highs and lows of their family adventures across Busch Gardens, Adventure Island, and SeaWorld. The thrills of touching dolphins (or "large pickles," as their daughter would say) are weighed against the frustrations of overcrowded parks and subpar food experiences. The episode crescendos with a discussion on "sleep divorce," pondering the pros and cons of snoozing separately for the sake of restful nights. And in true Unfiltered Union fashion, they cap it off with a Kid Rock tweet that's as outrageous as it is hilarious, leaving listeners with a taste of the unapologetic, uncensored spirit that Russ and Lindz bring to every show.---Timestamps:(00:03:12) Rebranding and guest recaps(00:11:45) The dark side of Nickelodeon and child stardom(00:22:33) Amusement park adventures and annual pass experiences(00:39:27) The concept of "sleep divorce"(00:42:15) Kid Rock's controversial tweet---Want more of the show?
