This week on the show, we're celebrating a major milestone in American history - the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. But as we reflect on this pivotal moment, we're also grappling with the challenges of our time. From the growing wealth gap to the erosion of our national identity, it's clear that we're living in a moment of great change and uncertainty.

In this episode, Mandy delves into the complexities of American history, exploring the founding principles that have shaped our nation. We hear from a brilliant historian who sheds light on the often-overlooked aspects of the Declaration of Independence, revealing the deep philosophical grounding that underpins our system of government. We also discuss the importance of cursive writing in our schools, and how it can actually improve cognitive retention and memory formation.

But the conversation doesn't stop there. We also tackle the pressing issues of our time, from the growing wealth gap to the challenges of our national identity. We explore the ways in which our society is becoming increasingly divided, and how we can work towards a more inclusive and compassionate future.

A couple of weeks ago there was a kerfuffle with the San Francisco Giants when Major League Baseball asked every player to wear a PRIDE hat for PRIDE month. Three of the Giants took the liberty of writing a Bible verse on their hats in protest. As Christian men, they share the belief that homosexuality is a sin and weren’t comfortable supporting PRIDE. My friend Jonathan Flora (and yes, he is the arm candy of my dear friend Deborah Flora) wrote about it here on his Substack you should also subscribe to. He joins me at 1 to chat about it.

It's Friday, and Mandy Connell is kicking off the day with a bang, discussing everything from cars to politics.

From the world of movies, they discuss the latest DC film, Supergirl, with a review that's not exactly glowing. AROD shares his thoughts on the movie, and it's clear that it's not his favorite. But don't worry, they don't just stop at movies - they also talk about cars, specifically the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Telluride, and which one might be the better choice for Mandy's family.

But politics is also on the agenda, as they discuss the recent drone attack by Iran and the implications it has on the current administration. Mandy shares her thoughts on the situation and how it relates to her own experiences with politics. And if you're a fan of food, you'll love their discussion on green chili - Mandy shares her own experiences with this Colorado staple and how it's not all created equal.
