#149: Changing the Political Landscape with Ron, Garnet, and Jerry

The local political discussion continues with Cellar Door Skeptics as they interview politics at the local level who will help make a difference in our society. The GOP continues to want to claim states rights is the only way to go. Well we feel we need to fight back by taking local politics back while moving Michigan from a hazy red toward a strong blue. The wave is coming and without your voice, we can not change society to be more progressive without you.

This week we talk with Ron Draayer running for office in the 72 district, Garnet Lewis in the 26th District, and Jerry in the 89th district. The common theme we talk about is helping the populous of Michigan, while continuing to help those in need. Each candidate focuses on how they can help shape Michigan to be more humanistic in their values while protecting minorities and creating as fair a landscape as possible.

By now you know that the show is discussing local politics and the importance of getting out to vote this November. This week the duo interview candidates in Tanner’s district in Ottawa County. Tanner meets with both candidates to talk about their stories, their desire to improve our society, and what got them into politics. This week is special as Tanner connects with people who affect his local community and the communities around him.

They talk through healthcare in Michigan with an emphasis on Mental Health and how Michigan could be better at working through their issues with healthcare. But the meat of the episode is when Tanner talks with both guests on their entry into politics, how they are more humanistic than the GOP counterparts, while continuing to work toward the electorate.

This episode mixes their personal beliefs with challenges for the candidates they endorse to try and work toward a way to keep them honest while fixing the immediate problems Michigan has.

#147: Early Prevention With the Blue Wave Vaccine Featuring Heidi Zuniga

Cellar Door Skeptics has started the push to help give a voice to the local candidates running for office in Michigan. They start their series talking with the candidates that will make a difference if elected into office this year.

The series kicks off by talking with Democrat, Mother, and Teacher Heidi Zuniga. We talk a look at the 88th district and the changes that Heidi could bring to help decrease the amount of Red we all see in our state. She is facing off against Luke Meerman, an ultra conservative Republican who has a hard time working for women’s rights while using his status, money, and friends to help get him a seat on the ticket this November.

We talk with Heidi about the beginning of her campaign, what she is doing to better her community, and why we should work toward voting in grassroots campaigns that care about the constituents without succumbing to large corporate interests.

Check out a down to earth women who deserves your vote this November.

#145: Demon Rats Summon Brett Kavanagh from the Dead

“In the immortal words of BMO: Sometimes life is scary and dark. That is why we must find the light.”

Cellar Door Skeptics takes a serious turn this week looking at the Brett Kavanagh situation and some the ridiculous arguments people are using to try and demonize those who support the women he abused. We look into why people feel the need to try and minimize women like they have been doing for thousands of years while looking at why this is NOT a witch hunt but society starting to come to terms with how we need to change how we treat women. They side step into a science segment on a new discovery of how a new non-toxic glue could help revolutionize the toxic waste our societies produce. The shows last segment covers China’s new social credit score. Chris Squared discuss amongst themselves their hesitancy toward this new policy all while Hanna poses a solution that Tanner does not quite agree with. This segment they talk through the pro’s and con’s of Hanna’s solution while looking at alternative ways to help deter the problematic parts of the internet. The show’s final note rings true with a new quick segment called “Quick Save” where they discuss an article or circumstance that they each quick saved and looked back on later as a new idea that made them stop and think while appreciating life a little bit more.

#144: Before Orion

This week Cellar Door Skeptics is coming at you with a fresh episode while changing up their normal discussion. The episode starts with some friendly banter about a "Non" ruling by the supreme court on the disclosure of donors to a Non Profit Organization. They talk through what it could mean for those who donate and if we should be worried. The meat of the show though is an interview with Bernie Taylor. Bernie Taylor is the author of Before Orion a discussion on Monomyths and how religion could all be related. "Before Orion explores a deeper root for this monomyth by looking at how hunter-gatherers viewed themselves within the natural and spiritual worlds through Paleolithic cave art from 40,000 years ago." This interview was very interesting and provided a unique perspective on the origins of religion.

#142: Colin’s Inspirational Advertisement and Other Stories

Cellar Door Skeptics Podcast started this week’s episode off by taking a look at Nike’s new campaign putting Colin Kaepernick front and center while white people start to burn their shoes. The Trump 80’s montage segment continues with a look at whether trump is openly pro corruption or if the media is just scoring views off of outrage news. They continue with a look at the Kavanaugh Hearings and how the Democrats may be trying to stop him before he can damage the Supreme Court. The show closes out with a look at two scientific articles. The first talks about how a new program in Kalamazoo Michigan is getting environmental and reusing tires to reduce the cost to the road. The second article talks about a scientific team whom are trying to enhance photosynthesis in plants to help them store more energy that could start to reduce our fossil fuel consumption.

#141: Does California Prop 13 Smells Moldy and Rotten

The team is back at it again this week with an action packed episode filled with quips, humor, science, and of course politics. This week they talk through how crazy Michigan’s weather was during recording as a new to Tanner weather term emerged. Of course it would not be a show without a look into what Trump has done this week to one up the antics of the previous week. They look at his urge to Pastors to violate the Johnson Amendment this midterm because Antifa is coming to take your rights away if Democrats win. Also Trump has remained almost mute on the passing of John McCain while folding his arms in the style matching Tanner’s 8 year old when she is angry and doesn’t want to talk.

For Chris Squared’s science segment, the duo looks a new study that shows sexual activity in teens have not increased just because the HPV Vaccine was made available for free in some states. While many conservatives and christians would have you believe we would have more teens having sex early, these studies show why facts should always outweigh our beliefs. The show ends examining California's Prop 13 and why some in California want to repeal it. The discussion gets lively as Tanner expresses his displeasure in what was a well meaning bill back in the 70’s now harming low income and the funding the state gets to help support those in need.

#140: Death of a Military Parade

Special Guest: Boyce L of Mindful Skeptics Podcast

Trump is at it again blaming others for the failings of his team and the governments unwillingness to support his military parade. The parade has been called off by Trump and we have the latest discussion on why Trump thinks it is ridiculous he had to cancel his military parade.

If that put you in too much of a sad clown mood, the team decided to cover the top 100 horror stories ever written. NPR categorized the top 100 horror stories and the team decides to talk through all the nostalgia of their youth growing up reading some amazing stories.

They transition into talking about a new wear resistant alloy metal that could revolutionize how often parts break down. A new discovery has happened where a team has discovered platinum gold alloy that does not have as much wear and tear as other metals. This could change how we make things and how we can reduce the amount of waste in our environment.

Lastly Chris Squared talk about Manafort and the charges that he could be facing. While this is nothing new, they look at what it would mean for Trump to pardon him, if Trump will pardon him, and what that means for other countries.
