The Chicken Social

Sup y'all? Welcome back to the most luxurious podcast in the history of the world, The Chicken Social. Our main man HumbleTeej is back once again and he's brought his terrible food takes with him. Listen to him discuss why chocolate ice cream is trash, how he's never mixed cereals, and he came to be a one cereal at a time gentleman. He also took the time to speak with us about how he felt Game 7 between the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors was going to go (Lucky for you, you already know if he was right or not).

After that, Obes and Cha talk about Starbucks racial bias training and whether it's cool for Common to be taking just about any check. Last, but not least Obes goes in on people who think LeBron James couldn't have been successful in the 80s and 90s NBA.

All that and more, this week on The Chicken Social.

Kingdom Hearts 3 is dropping, and I absolutely cannot pinpoint my emotion. I'm enraged. I'm thrilled. I'm apprehensive. Over one decade and two consoles, we've waited for this. Is it finally here?

I also discuss moving out of my parents' house and why the suburbs are trash. This was a super last minute episode. I had no intention of recording Thursday night, but what can I say — the group chat came with some heat.

As always, if you enjoy the show, please give us a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts. This helps give us a boost in the Apple Podcast rankings which in turn helps us reach more people. It also makes us feel good about ourselves, that’s a win-win.

Obes and Cha are back again, this time to celebrate their sesquicentennial. That's 150, if you didn't know. This week:

The Houston Rockets are in the Western Conference Finals once again, and they're facing the juggernaut that is the Golden State Warriors. Will they win? Can they win? And, if they do, what would a win like this mean for the city of Houston?

The future of the City of Houston. As the city continues to bounce back from Hurricane Harvey, how are things looking at present? In that same vein, how are things looking for the future of this great, yet undervalued city? Cha gives his take.

Finally, Obes and Cha take a look back at the previous 150 episodes and give a quick preview into what lies ahead for the Chicken Social and tin clock.

All that and more, this week on The Chicken Social.

Obes and Cha are back; and this time, they're not messing around. This week, United States Senate Candidate Shane Morris (D-TN) joins us to talk about his ongoing campaign. He tells Obes and Cha about the challenges of becoming a candidate, his platform, and what people think when he tells them he's running for statewide office. Obes and Shane then get into a more existential question: what does it mean to "sell out" and is selling out really even all that bad?

Next, Obes and Cha take a deeper look at the villain in Avengers: Infinity War(s) because Obes has quite the hypothesis...Thanos is a Republican. Why does Obes think this and does Cha go along with it?

Last but not least, the 2018 NFL draft has come and gone and at least 2 quarterbacks were drafted to teams with aging stars at QB. Is it the veteran's job to help train the man drafted to take his job?

Welcome back to the latest episode of the podcast you love to hate, wait my bad that's another show's tagline...The Chicken Social. This week, Jerry's back and he's not messin' around. We're taking a deep look at Reaganomics: what is it, what did it do, who did it effect, and how does it persist today? Obes and Jerry also look at a more existential question: why do so many people continue to vote for Reagan era economic principles when we know they don't work?

Next, Obes and Cha are pained by it but it must be done. Kanye West is officially (mostly) cancelled. What happened to make the man who once said "George Bush doesn't care about black people" turn into a pseudo-mouthpiece for the alt-right? Are we now at the point where we have to stop listening to this man's music? Maaaaaaybe. Maybe.

Last but not least, racism at a York, PA golf club. 5 black women, members of a larger group called Sisters in the Fairway, were racially accosted by the club owner's son and his friends at the Grandview Golf Club. Eventually the police were called on the women. One of the women is an attorney and the head of the local NAACP chapter. Did these racists mess with the wrong black women?

Welcome to the best episode of the best podcast in the history of the universe, The Chicken Social. This week Obes and Cha go it alone. That's right no guests, just like your childhood home on a school night. It's playoff time in the NBA, which means Cha's first place Houston Rockets were playing. It was a tale a two players though: James Harden played amazing and Chris Paul was outplayed by 2018 Derrick Rose. Are either of these thing sustainable and does CP3's performance give Cha pause going forward? Next, Obes wonders, very very loudly, why R. Kelly is still given so much country given what we know about him and his alleged misdeeds. The answer may, but shouldn't, surprise you. Last, and least if we're being honest, Trump attorney Michael Cohen has 3 clients: Donald Trump, some other dude that I don't care about and,...Sean Hannity. Why does this matter and what is Hannity's endgame.

All that and more, this week on The Chicken Social.

Welcome back to the greatest sideshow in the world, Chicken Poppers! This week I sit down with Houston rapper Santino Alcoser, better known by his stage name MC i Ckan Ryme. He walks us through accidentally headlining Frontier Fiesta, the roles of masculinity and femininity as a trans man, and staying motivated as a creative.

Something we somehow forgot to discuss during the interview was "Tots for Tino." Before transitioning, Tino looks to freeze some of his eggs to one day start a family of his own. If you'd like to support him, feel free to donate to his GoFundMe. Proceeds will go toward medical expenses for the procedure (i.e. fertility shots, egg retrieval, etc.).

As a queer person myself, this was an interview I had been anticipating since I started making Chicken Poppers. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Be sure to follow Tino on Twitter (@_kickingBabies) and on Instagram (@mcickanryme)!

Welcome to another episode of the first podcast in human history, The Chicken Social. On this week's episode, freelance writer extraordinaire Bradford Howard drops by to talk about two new writing projects that will be dropping soon. He walked through his writing process, where the inspiration for his stories come from, and how he learned to get over publisher rejection.

Then, Obes and Cha look at the idiocy of Drew Brees as it's revealed that he was swindled into paying $8 million dollars for jewelry that he believed would appreciate in value. That's not the only ill-advised investment the Saints QB has made over the year, though. We get into it.

Finally, Obes and Cha take a closer look into something a lot of younger people don't seem to know: Late Senator Ted Kennedy killed a woman, badly covered it up, and lived a full life. The man even ran for president! How is that possible?

All that and more, this week on The Chicken Social.

Obes came through to talk about how Prince's Purple Rain is in fact the greatest Gospel album ever. We also discuss Biggie bullying random rappers in his verses, legendary diss tracks, and the ultimate beef: Prince vs. Michael Jackson.
