Tell Me You’re Joking

St. Louis is loaded with characters with substance. Brad Millabeats is one of them. A sort of "South Side Renaissance Man," Brad talks about his music, his band "Tree One Four," his 12 y/o business, the military, some chaos, and his new found relief/release in breathing and ICE. Literal, out of the freezer... Ice.

Be sure to check out his band and give him a follow on Facebook to keep up with his new discoveries.

Republicans are a cult of 1. Democrats are winning everywhere. The diversity in victors, ideas, needs, and case studies is an advantage, not a knock.

Marsie Geldert-Murphy has spent her entire career in the business of engineering, building, and improving systems... mainly infrastructure. With 30 years in at IDOT, and an extended independent career working with multiple states' Departments of Transportation, her experience in the realm of working with state bureaucracies, builders, and communities is top-notch. She is planning on using that experience, her connections, as well as her understanding of how private industry works hand in hand with communities to ensure growth, stability, and a transparent relationship in order to create new jobs and improve the synergy for all involved. Her plan is more than "cutting taxes"; it's actually focused on the "what's next."

Pepe Kehm is a household name in the F&B scene in STL. Having grown up in the shadow of the Arena, smashed between Dogtown and The Hill, his Italian mom & German/Irish/French dad kept him and his 3 siblings on their toes, and more importantly... food front and center. From restaurants to writing we covered the gamut. 

Now with Spaghetti Wars coming to life, Pepe talks about filming in our backyard and the role the whole team plays in making his idea come to life.

Adam Zoph makes a daily, sometimes multiple times a day, habit of simplifying the "news." Or at least it feels that way. With a combined 100K followers and growing, this Sub-:60 talking head decided to stretch his legs out and chat with me for over an hour. 

More detail, same fears, a good amount of snark... enjoy!

Gina Mitten is the other Democrat running for the State Senate Dist. 4 seat. We talk about her background, her pathway, and this race, which is easily one of the most diverse districts in the state... ranging from the Wells/Goodfellow neighborhood on the North Side to Clayton, and south through the city.

Josh Smead is on the final stretch. Our chat covers what he's seeing in the massive district, the conversations expressing massive fears when it comes to rural healthcare, the Trump Tariff effect on this massive agricultural district, and the simple economic reality (pain that is) that is sweeping the district under this administration in a state that is also Supermajority Republican.

Steve Butz joined to talk about his campaign for the Missouri State Senate Dist. 4 race. The life long STL native and I chatted about Democrats' national identity, Missouri's long-lost "bellwether" status, Amendments on the ballot, his race, City/County, local/state control of the STL police department, and more.

Jeff is from Jeffco... IYKYK. Having grown up in the district, witnessing all its trials, tribulations, and its trajectory, he decided it was time to give back. To run. To compete. Jeff is looking to provide the 22nd District in Missouri with leadership that represents what the district actually needs from his own lived experiences and to provide more than performative lip service to the constituents who are overconsumed with national narratives that have little to no impact on his childhood home. Jobs. Education. Houses. Healthcare. Consider supporting Jeff here:

A lesbian, a marine vet, and a soccer dad walk into a bar... The punchline can be found in this episode. Check out my conversation with two dear, long-time friends from my hometown. We talk about so much of the chaos that is today's political, social, and neighborhood environment.
