Born To Be Mild

The President says, "We're in a good place," as ICU's reach capacity all over the country. Betsy DeVos says the main priority is to mandate schools reopen as normal, while one of the reasons Trump gave for the commutation of Roger Stone's sentence is that prison just isn't a safe place to be right now. And NFL players are feeling the same way about their workplace, too. Our theme song, as always, was composed by Ryan Little.

The Divider-In-Chief is at it again, dismissing the movement for racial justice he was so obviously falsely supporting just weeks ago, and instead turns to fanning the flames of the "Us v Them" mentality his supporters have grown to love. Plus the renaming of sports teams and an in depth look at this year's less-than-normal edition of the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, all that and much more!

Nick Hulea fills in for Pete, and joins Ron on a rundown of the events of the past week: The world's unwelcome house guest, Covid19, claims squatters rights in the US and vows never to leave. And even with a massive uptick in positive tests, the White House assures the country it's as good as gone. Donald Trump continues his march towards a landslide loss in November by promoting white supremacy videos on his twitter feed, and denies being briefed on a Russian plot to pay Taliban fighters bounties on the heads of American service members. All in a week's work. Plus, this week is the last chance to donate to The Scleroderma Research Fund! Visit www.BoardmanSDWalk.org and help out any way you can.

As more admission of past injustices come to light, and more admonishment of those that seek to uphold the status quo reaches towards a critical mass, Donald Trump finds a way to inject himself into the eye of the storm and the eye of nearly every story. We also cover his historic flop of a campaign rally, plus the latest on Covid 19.

Born To Be Mild is back at full strength and kicks it into high gear. Police Reforms, BLM, addressing the legacy of the Confederacy, and the push back to all of them. And don't forget to donate to Scleroderma Research at www.BoardmanSDWalk.org

Ron tackles this week's show expertly on his own, as Pete had pressing family matters to attend to. The blowback from Trump's photo op last Monday draws criticism across the spectrum, plus policing reforms, and how Drew Brees is handling a severe case of foot-in-mouth. Lastly, a segment on the charitable cause Ron holds most dear, The Scleroderma Research Foundation, which you can donate to now at www.BoardmanSDWalk.org

Here's what happens when you've got a milion important topics to discuss...and it's only Wednesday. Listen in good health!

Enough has proven to be enough, and protests around the country have taken place in response to yet another senseless killing of a black man at the hands of law enforcement. The fellas wade carefully but passionately into the deep end of the discussion.

The push and pull between the open cautiously crowd and the kill the weak/I need my water parks crowd rages on and no choice is depoliticized, it seems. Also, the guys review how at-home haircuts are going and Uncle Joe's latest lil gaff.

The guys push through some adverse circumstances to bring another quality show. Spring is in full gear and it's time to get outside. No better companion than a great podcast!
