  • "Aliens" Unveiled in Mexico? + What Does it Mean to be "World Champs?" + Life and Basketball with Eli Phillips

    We are BACK! We have retooled things around here, and make sure you follow the show to not miss out on anything going on in the future!


    Were aliens just discovered in Mexico? Last week, Jaime Maussan presented what he described as two bodies that are "not part of our terrestrial evolution" but those claims have been strongly challenged, and Maussan has had some claims debunked in the past.


    What does it mean to be "World Champs?"

    Earlier this summer, U.S. Sprinter Noah Lyles made waves when he claimed that the NBA Champs are not world champs. Does the United States' loss in the World Cup prove him right?


    Also, Eli Phillips joins the show again to discuss his life and experiences as the Head Coach at my alma mater!

  • #17. Marci Warhaft - "The Good Stripper"

    Marci's memoir, “The Good Stripper: A Soccer Mom’s Memoir of Lies, Loss and Lap Dances” was published last year. Before she wrote her book, she had let fear and shame keep her from living her life fully and completely. Now that she has released those negative feelings, she feels free to be exactly who she is without worrying about how people may judge her, and she is teaching others how to do the same thing.

    Her book is dedicated to anyone who may be struggling to forgive themselves for the mistakes they made when they were just trying to survive.
