Chubstep

Steed's twisted brilliant mind came up with Chubstep covering the most famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright and his controversial personal life. The guys start with a correction about the cocktail Bee's Knees, a business and maybe crime involving the street free libraries, dancing older on acid at the beach before getting into Frank Lloyd Wright. Steed and Jrad cover his design style, way staying out of school pays off, his most expensive and worst houses, his long string of scandalous relationships, getting arrested for cheating, his son inventing Lincoln Logs, a true crime mass murder at his "Love Cottage" involving a mistress, and of course the strong connection between Frank Lloyd Wright to Ben Affleck.

Hot off the press this week's Chubstep is all about sayings and idioms. First Steed and Jrad get into the wedding in Minnesota they were at the past week, why being the "Best Man" is tough, the worst wedding speeches, and Star Wars music at cocktail hour. Next the guys break it down, idiom by idiom, starting with the sayings that have gone the way of the dodo and which they wish would come back before getting to the meaning of common idioms, some Swahili in 'Tanzania News', and presidential saying that stuck with em, whether that be good or bad.
