Unglossy

In this week's episode, the men discuss big sugar and their efforts to avoid it. Tom proclaims his stern dislike for the cicadas currently taking over the Mid-Atlantic. Lupe and Royce discuss the best recording studios they’ve been to, and spar endlessly about Detroit v. Chicago. Shinola, you listening? And finally, please take the last 9 minutes of silence to remember George Floyd and why we must continue to acknowledge systemic racism and inequality in order to fulfill the promise of American freedom and justice for every citizen.

This week was  National Look-a-like Day and Tom celebrates with his best impression of Royce. The fellas react to the Chauvin trial verdict. Lupe is still fasting and therefore spending his extra time learning about Chinese ghost towns, investing in water solutions that are saving the world one town at a time, including Allensworth, CA, and writing quality radio theater. So, kick back and listen, especially if you are a talent scout from Netflix, to an original Lupe screenplay,  “The Confession” featuring Detectives Royce and Lupe as they play good cop, bad cop in an attempt to extract a confession from a young street punk.
