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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You may or may not be familiar with the term but it comes up often enough that I gotta hear about how every piece of media is slanted towards the left or liberal ideals. But is this actually the case?

This week I’m joined by special podcast person Alex and we examine if there is in fact a liberal bias and if not, is there any kind of bias?

At this point, if you don't know what the MCU is, your finger is very much off the pulse. But that’s okay. You might just be a little confused about this episode. Recently (and by this I mean 2 or 3 years ago but time doesn’t exist it’s fine) film director Martin Scorsese said that he doesn’t consider Marvel films to be art and they’re more like amusement park rides. Now, if you don’t know who Scorsese is, you are on some kind of streak.

Does he have a point? Does Disney/Marvel’s success present some kind of brewing problem with the film industry? Should we consider Marvel films art?

This week I’m joined by special podcast person Alex as we hash this out.

We’re back! This week I’m joined by fellow podcast person Alex and we’re talking about song meanings. Not just that songs have meaning but several songs’ meanings are misunderstood. Which songs? Well, you’ll just have to listen to find out, now won’t you?

We’re back!! This week fellow podcast person Alex joins and we discuss vaccines and the current furor around them. Namely, a common tactic used by people who are against them is to say that they need to do their own research. It’s something that annoys me to no end because there is no research and it leads to broader political ideologies as to why people hold these positions.
