Uninvited Media Presents: The Play-In Podcast with Atiqa Mohammad and Jerry Jones

Sup Party Crashers -

In this episode of the 'Uninvited' we are reflecting on the events of March 7, 1965 -- the day that John Lewis and several hundred other leaders dared to march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge to get from Selma to Montgomery in the name of securing voting rights for Black people in the state of Alabama.   Not only are we reflecting upon the past but taking inventory of where we are today and projecting onto the future what be at stake if we do not heed Lewis' call to get into "good trouble...necessary trouble."

Also in the episode, Jerry breaks down the role of strategy and tactics have played in the civil rights movement as well as digs into the efforts in statehouses across the country to suppress the vote and undermine the basic tenets of democracy.

While not nearly as snarky and lighthearted as he typically is, we think this episode may be one of the most important to listen to.  We hope you'll take the ride with us.

Keep being good to yourselves and each other.

In this kind-of-an episode of 'Uninvited',  Jerry really only gets to two things:  1) A trip down memory lane to the college years.  It is kinda like the 'Previously On' episode of 'WandaVision' minus the deep philosophical conversation on the juxtaposition of love and grief (if you haven't seen Episode 8 of 'WandaVision' stop wasting time here and go watch it. ) and 2) The value and effectiveness of words in the context of a divided America and Europe.

In the pod, Jerry begins to explore the words we are using and how we might begin to consider whether or not we are being strategic in how we communicate with one another.

Yes, it sounds lame but we promise this one is important and will likely be pursued within a limited-run podcast focused specifically on words as currency.

Do us a favor will you and text Jerry at 816.589.9960 (or email at [email protected]) with specific words that you believe are building up or tearing apart our ability to work together with those we don't agree with.

This conversation just might have legs so let's go with it.

Keep being good to yourselves and each other.

Hey...sup Party Crashers!

Hope all is well and that you're finally rested from watching the House deliberate well into Saturday morning over the $1.9T stimulus package.  Ha...don't front, we know you didn't watch it because we didn't either but that isn't stopping us from talking about it (briefly) after we've had a chance to talk about the CPAC 2021 conference, the Fat Elvis version of a Donald Trump shrine, how Jerry has never seen Harry Potter, Billy Joel being underrated, bucket list musicians, why Jacksonville smells, Daryl Hall and the O'Jays, and the danger for Democrats in ending the Senate filibuster.

So as you can appreciate there is a balanced plate of nonsense on this episode of the 'Uninvited'.

Sit back and enjoy the show my friends.

Until next time.  Peace!

Few people have had more of an impact on American politics over the past 30 years as Rush Limbaugh -- and damn near all of his contributions have produced nothing but gridlock and nastiness.  In this episode, we discuss his legacy (briefly) and at the very end we give him the sendoff he deserves (he's hoping Pearl Jam doesn't sue for the use of their song that i feel pretty confident could have been written just for people like Limbaugh).

In this episode, we spend most of the time, however on completely non-related topics  talking about the Cold-pocalypse, Tik Tok, Jesse "The Body" Ventura, AARP, Rick Perry, my favorite Texas residents (Emily and Shawn), Pietro from WandaVision, Columbia Record Club, Paris, gaining the Covid 19 (lbs) and Texas' energy grid (Okay...that is related to Cold-pocalypse...and Paris and Rick Perry so forget what i just said about being non-related.  It is, however, a bunch of nonsense).

We think you'll like this episode as it is Jerry in rare, stream-of-consciousness rambling form.  It was fun episode to record and we think you'll enjoy listening.

Keep being good to yourselves and each other.

Until next time...PEACE!

Yeah...so...it's been a minute but nothing quite like an impeachment trial and the awesomeness of 'WandaVision' to get this train wreck back on the airwaves.

So yeah, after a three-week (hell, it may have been longer but as we are in the COVID-19 Space-Time continuum) hiatus we are talking about the joys of complaining, ice cream, Jen Psaki, and a**hole Presidents who don't deserve their "Happy Presidents' Day" cards as well as the news of the day (if by news, you mean impeachment).

Still, we are having fun and it feels good to be back.  Unlike those Zoom calls with old friends that you end by saying "we should do this again soon" and then it is seven months before you text them again, we mean it...we will be back.  Like, for real for real this time.  

Thanks for spending time with us.  Until next time, continue to be good to yourselves and each other.  

Peace and Love.

Hey Party Crashers -

Hope all is well in what has been a completely non-eventful news cycle...it has been years since that has happened and wow does it feel good!!!  However, that doesn't stop Jerry from going in on elected officials, including Rep. Kevin McCarthy, Senator Josh Hawley and this might surprise you:  President Joe Biden.  In fact, Jerry spends most of his time discussing how the Biden administration is getting a couple of things really wrong that could be problematic for his base.   There will be no free rides here on the 'Uninvited'.

In the heart of this episode, we are discussing the negative effects of having millions of Americans living in a 'pocket reality'.  We will be digging into what we are seeing with Trump supporters from 1/6 to today and comparing what they are experiencing with the Disney+ show "WandaVision".  *** SPOILER ALERT*** We will be discussing some details of 'WandaVision; and if you have not seen episode 3 you may want to watch it first before listening to this episode.  We give you a head's up in the episode if you like to live dangerously but if you don't wanna risk it watch the show first then pop over here to catch this podcast.

In this episode we have a little nod to what it will take for us to unify as a nation and then we end it with some profound words from LaDonna Brave Bull Allard to send us out into the week.

Go forth in love and justice y'all.

Love y'all!

Here's the deal Party Crashers -

Sometimes you just gotta skip to the best part of the show and in this case, it clearly is the mashup we did with Ms. Gorman's amazing poetry with Jose Gonzalez's "Instrumental".

If you're not feeling me waxing poetic about how incredible the inauguration was, just listen to her groundbreaking poem once again with some nice accompanying music.

Peace and Love, y'all!

Hey Party Crashers!!!

We f***ing did it!  President Biden and Vice-President are on the job, the Obamas were back on the scene and Amanda Gorman...WOW!!! On the other hand, Bernie was just plain cold.   

We're having a little bit of fun as we reflect on the victory that you helped to secure.  Celebrate, my friends.  You deserve it!

Love y'all!
