Welcome to our first TOPICSODE!

If you listened to Dan's full episode (if you didn't, what are you waiting for???) then you know that we didn't share his topic to make the episode a bit shorter and more palatable.

But now it's here! Join Dan and I as we talk about his "favorite anime show to recommend that I can't in good conscience recommend to anyone". I get to learn a whole lot about a new world and Dan makes his case as to why you should start it!

Enjoy!

The second Minisode!

In this minisode, I talk about the recent Derek Chauvin verdict, a brief moment of relief before the tragic murder of Ma'Khia Bryant. I give my (obviously privileged) thoughts on the verdict and the many other victims of police violence and discuss what defunding the police really means.

Welcome to our very first Minisode!

In an effort to spread the content for y'all a bit more and make it easier to listen, we're starting weekly Minisodes! Often, politics has made its way into our show; whether it is because politics and sports are forever intertwined or because having a platform and NOT speaking about certain issues feels negligent. Either way! We've started some Minisodes throughout the week where I can speak more to those issues outside of your normal Theatre of Sports episodes!

In this episode, I talk about gun control, an issue brought to the forefront, yet again, due to recent mass shootings. I give my thoughts on that situation and the circumstances surrounding it, including being honest about the progress I've endeavored to make and some of my not-so-pretty comments in the past.

But we round out the episode with a bit of good(ish) news...weed is legal! This doesn't mean that there won't be significant problems moving forward or that the War on Drugs isn't still ravaging communities, but records are being expunged and you can enjoy a blunt on a nice summer's day...as long as you wear your mask.

In this episode, Morgan and I continue our discussion of Morgan's topic from the previous podcast...Van Helsing! Yes...THAT Van Helsing. With Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale. Tune in to hear Mo and I marvel about just how bad this movie is and why Morgan thinks that everyone should watch it.

In this episode, Morgan Ruaidhrí O'Sullivan and I discuss toxic masculinity  and gender in sports/theatre. Tune in to hear Mo and I talk about stupid Tom fucking Brady, the duality of sports, and the importance of introspection.

P.S. Buffalo wings are named as such because they were first introduced in Buffalo, NY.
