Gun control - Mental health - Finding common ground |||

In this episode, we chat with Maryam Abolfasli, a Democratic congressional candidate for Tennessee's fifth district. Maryam is a single mother and daughter of Iranian parents who after a spending her earlier years working in Afghanistan rebuilding water infrastructure, decided to run for office. Being a Democrat and for "gun safety for kids", we were pretty confident of where she stood on guns before we started. Because we had watched some of her videos and knew the areas we were similar, we were confident that we'd find some common beliefs and that our conversation would be very productive. She didn't disappoint!

Rock and roll - Green berets |||

In this episode, we sit down with our new friend Steve from the band Tractor Boy. Steve reached out to us with the generous offer to write us a new theme song for the podcast, and without knowing him or the band, we were honestly a bit skeptical. Fast forward a bit and he's a guest on our show because not only did we say yes, but it turns out he's a super cool dude with an absolutely rad backstory. Join us as we discuss Steve's 20-year career as a Green Beret, music to get you pumped, the origins of Tractor Boy, and more. We had a great time with Steve and it had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that we were slowly getting drunk throughout the episode.
