We were fucking STOKED to have council member Kate Burke sit down and chat with us! Since she is such a busy woman, we dove right into it while shoving donuts and coffee down our gullets. 

Lara rehashes her first strip club experience (complete with lap dance). Kate recounts how a sports injury changed her life in high school and changed her focus from basketball to giving back to her community, launching her into an extensive volunteer history. She's worked with underprivileged kids, people experiencing homelessness, and also spent a summer working on a Vermont farm. Seeing the gap between resources and the people that need them the most led Burke to the world of politics and policy. She became a session aide for Senator Andy Billig and is a current Spokane council member. She dishes about navigating the complicated sphere of local government and the "radical" ideas she has for Spokane.

Episde 24 excerpt: "I really feel like we don't need to be punching down, ever. Like, there's so much that you can make everyone laugh with and you don't need to be tearing someone down."

On our 24th episode, we sit down with Annica Clements Eagle, founder of the Spokane Punderground and world-ranked pun master in 2016 and 2017. Her punstory originates in Dad jokes and evolves to actual punning and improv. She shares her experiences in the local stand-up/improv scene, the toxicity that comes with it (SHOCKER!), and recites her world-ranking #MeToo pun. It's amazing and you NEED to hear it.

We also discuss drag queens in libraries and laugh at the people that want to keep them out of these public spaces.

Episode 20 excerpt: "Just be aware of people's stories and people's mental state."

We're getting a leg up on Mental Health Awareness Month with our special guest, Thessaly! TBH, you should all be talking about mental health year-around, but we thoroughly appreciated and were so, so moved by listening to Thessaly's story and her own mental health journey. This is not a light episode by any means, but is one of our most important. We cannot express how much we were in awe of our guest and being able to chat with her.

Content warning: abuse, molestation, suicide, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self harm

One breakfast ring to rule them all*:- 5 eggs- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped- 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped- 1/4tsp salt- 1/4tsp pepper- 8 slices bacon, cooked- 8oz. crescent rolls, refrigerated- 3 scallions, chopped- 1C shredded cheddar cheese- 1 egg for egg wash (optional; we ain't got time for egg wash!)

Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Beat the eggs with the chopped peppers, salt, and pepper. Cook and scramble eggs in a skillet. Lay out the crescent roll dough on parchment paper (we didn't have this so we ended up making mini rolled up egg/cheese thingies) like a star. Lay a piece of bacon on each crescent roll, add half of the cheese around the ring. Then add the scrambled eggs around the ring and top with the rest of the cheese. Fold the crescents over. This is when you can brush with the egg wash if ya wanna get fancy with it. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Eat!

*honestly, use whatever ingredients you have/want. It'll probably work.

Episode 19 excerpt: "I like to collect white people."

It's another crossover ep, bitches! Autumn and Kevin from Just Us on KYRS Community Radio Station joins us for this fun-filled episode! Time flew by as we talked about Lime scooters (at great length), Internet beefs, especially of the Next Door variety, homelessness, addiction and mental health, dumb anti-vaxxers, and goddamn, SO MUCH MORE! We had such a blast and our tummies, full of gluten-free Mexican frittata and gin, were content. Mufasa also makes an appearance!

Mexican frittata:- 1tb. olive oil- 1/2lb. ground beef- 2tsp. taco seasoning- 1/2C salsa- 1 small green pepper, chopped- 1/3lb. plum tomatoes, sliced- 8 eggs- 3 scallions, chopped- 1/4tsp. salt- 1/2C grated cheddar cheese

Preheat ya oven to 375 degrees. Scramble your eggs (DO NOT COOK THEM), and set aside. Meanwhile, brown your ground beef in the olive oil (we used a cast iron, but any medium-sized skillet will do). Add taco seasoning and salsa. Stir to evenly coat, then remove the meat from the skillet*. Add your green peppers and cook for a few minutes. Add the meat back in with the scallions and tomato. Pour the egg on top and sprinkle with salt and cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the frittata is set, no jiggle. It will be difficult but let it sit for a few minutes before cutting into. Serve warm.
