Sustainability, a word tossed around quite frequently, but what exactly does that mean? (SIDENOTE:  it is totally okay if you have no idea.)  Well BAB'$ because we love you, really love you, we wanted to get someone with  Street Cred to help define this term. Someone who has been referred to as the Plastic Slayer, it is with great excitement that  we introduce to you, Christian. Join us this episode as we learn more about him, have a  discussion about what sustainability is, hear about Plastic Tides and the great work they do, and lastly review how we can help cultivate change. This episode is special to us for more reasons than one. Sustainability has been our focus for this year and we loveee accomplishing goals, but in addition to that we are so thankful to share this Pod with another amazing lady. Our "Beat's Breakdown" artist of the week is French Cuffs with their single, "Strangers". It is beautiful song that will have you singing right along.  Alright BAB'$ love ya mother and have  a good night.

Well y’all it’s a wrap, our first season has come to an end. In normal BAB’$ fashion we wanted to go out with a BANG. This episode is far different than any of our others because we recorded it in a bubble! You read that right, a mutha-f*ckin bubble. We teamed up with a local Denver  business called “A Date With Bliss” and recorded this episode at Sloans Lake in one of Alexis’s unique picnic set ups (which lucky for y’all there’s a giveaway for you to experience it). Not only did we interview Alexis, we brought the one and only Boy BAB in to bid you farewell. We laugh, we joke, and per usual we get into some inspirational ass shit. Learn about how Alexis started her business and how Boy BAB is out here killing at Kitcaster a podcast agency. After all of this, we leave you all with a straight up banger for our Beats Breakdown. We showcase a song called Santana Floyd by Chemical Music Factory.

This train-wreck of a year is almost over, lets taking a fucking shot to that. 2020 was a trauma filled bitch, so  lets unpack it together. Da Butcher walks us through her strategy on how to process a year. We digest the trauma, celebrate the lessons learned, and prepare for our new year with some dusty ass goalz (inside joke listen to the episode and you will understand lol).  We are making some big goals for 2021 and we encourage you do the same! DM us or write us a letter with your goals and we can hold each other accountable. Sounds rad right?!? Well speaking of rad sounding things, our Beats Breakdown features a dope ass track by a dope ass artist. Evolution is the artist of the week and he shared with us his song "Looking For The Green" , as Da Butcher said "shit aren't we all". He is out of Northern California and is one Boss Ass Boy #BAB.  Alright ya'll, as always, have a safe week and we love you!
