Episode Notes

The boys are joined by Rolling Stone writer Miles Klee (@youwouldntpost) to rejoin the ongoing saga of our favorite anti-human trafficking non-profit operator.

Episode Notes

We are joined by our friend Angela to discuss the ongoing Salt Lake City Mayoral election. It's a doosey.

Also, we don't discuss the ongoing issues in Palestine, that is something we are working towards in a way that is a bit more sensitive than in an episode where we make fun of replacement level municipal politicians.

Episode Notes

Kyle and Jordan are joined by our favorite Boston Lawyer (@Shocks) to discuss our collective grief over losing liberal icon, Willard Mitt Romney. We discuss his impact on Utah and Massachusetts and how he has graced us with prosperity. We love you, Mitt!

Also we discuss a bit more Tim Ballard, Bobby Menendez, and awkward date movies.

It's another week here at BYM and things are officially off the rails. We highlight some of the recent news, including Mitt giving up his seat to live the dream, UAW striking, Lauren Boebert's shenanigans in the cover of night, another "anti-trafficker" getting in trouble for extra curriculars.

The main story in this episode is, of course, about Tim Ballard. We review this summer's timeline of events that culminated with him being publicly rebuked by the LDS Church and new reporting that indicates the likely reason he was let go by OUR at the height of their popularity.

Big shoutout to the reporters who have been working on these stories: Lynn Packer: YouTube, website Anna Merlan and Tim Marchman: recent VICE News reporting

Episode Notes

Greg sits down with local artist Josaleigh Pollett (@brosaleigh) to discuss her "Tender DIY" music, the local music scene, and the state of being online.

Episode Notes

Greg and Jordan discuss congressional primaries and if Salt Lake is on the verge of turning into Austin, but only in the worst possible ways.

The boys are back with Pod Doc Colin filling in for Jordan this week. We cover quite a few topics this ep, including the horror in Hawaii, more Supreme Court bribes, and Indicted Trump v no one. We focus our two main stories tonight on the insane right-wing response to the USWNT getting knocked out of the World Cup and, of course, Utah's most famous (nearly) almost sniper. Almost had it.

If you can, please donate to Maui Mutual Aid here.

Thanks to Colin for helping out this week <3

Outro music: Lovely Times by Suburban Living

Episode Notes

We are joined by Miles Klee (@youwouldntpost) of Rolling Stone and formerly of the late, great Mel Magazine to discuss the reason why Miles' mentions and email have been toxic over the last week.

Yep, we are discussing new Indie hit, Sound of Freedom. It's terrible, don't see it.

Read Miles Klee's review of the film here.

Or Miles' other article about Sound of Freedom and its impact on Wall Street Bets "Apes" and their AMC Theater stock here

Episode Notes

Back again for the tail end of pride. We discuss RFK Jr's gym etiquette, that kaput submarine, Samuel Alito having a sugar daddy, and how the state of Utah is scared to run social media posts about Pride Month.

He did everything right and they indicted him!!! Trump might be going to the pen, but not without some empty promises of free Cuban food first.

We cover some real fun topics in this one like the endless world of digital advertising and data collection, a genius developer building a surf community in the middle of the Utah desert, roads collapsing under increasingly dramatic climate change, and more.

And finally, we talk a bit about the freaks who continue to wage war on the incredibly scary concept of books.

Love u all!

Yo! The boys are here with a fresh ep in the early days of (LGBTQ+) Pride Month. We cover a lot in this episode, including all of the fresh new hell the right is creating with the never-ending attack on gay and trans people. And it turns out that our governor is a bit of a coward. Who knew? We talk debt ceiling, Chris Steward resigning, Utah oil production, and the Supreme Court doing more anti-labor nonsense.

And finally, we end with a story in the SL Tribune about BYU and other NCAA athletes being scammed via newly allowed NIL deals, including with FTX and NFTs. Amazing.

The Pride parade in SLC is Sunday 6/4! And while you're there, go check out DSSL's booth and grab some BYM decals and talk socialism with good people.

Episode Notes

Greg and Jordan talk to Mark Agee (@markagee), who is a member of the Writer's Guild of America, to discuss the ongoing strike, working conditions for writers, and what led to this strike.

Then we discuss the 60 Minutes piece on the whistleblower who revealed secrets on the LDS Church's finances, including setting up shell corporations to hide wealth. Then we read an article saying why that is actually normal religious activity.

Donate to help WGA strikers at DSA Los Angeles's Snacklist which provides food and drinks to strikers on the picket lines.

The Boys are completely and totally (and officially) Back.

We catch up on some of the things that have been going on lately, including yet another trademark American Mass Shooting and the very serious continued argument over "mental health" in this country. Trump found liable for sex pest stuff, COVID is over (again), Tucker's taking his talents to The Bay, and more.

Our main focus in this episode is the issue of homelessness and the concept of social housing– referenced by former-and-currently-running-for SLC mayor, Rocky Anderson in a piece in the SL Trib. We continue this topic with a discussion of Robert Gehrke's article talking about evictions in Utah hitting a 7-year high.

Articles covered: Rocky Anderson: More affordable housing is possible. So is keeping a neighborhood’s character

Utah evictions have hit a 7-year high. We need to maintain safety nets for our neighbors, Robert Gehrke writes.

Episode Notes

Greg and Jordan were joined by members of the Salt Lake City Public Library's Workers United (@SLCPLWU) to discuss their union drive and what the realities are of organizing on the ground in Utah

Here is the link to their campaign to demand the SLC Library Board honor the union: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-slcpl-board-of-directors-respect-slcpl-workers-united

Episode Notes

Greg and Jordan are back from their various sabbaticals to discuss all sorts of issues we missed including Trump being indicted, Joe Brandon's reelection campaign, the Salt Lake City Mayoral election, a Utah Senator's house getting vandalized, and the GOP Convention.

Anyway, good to be back.

Greg sits down for a quick interview with the Armed Queers of SLC — an explicitly socialist and radical Queer organization dedicated to the militant and armed defense of LGBTQ people nationwide. We chat about the privilege of advocating gun bans, the harmful LGBTQ+ rhetoric coming from the right, and the work they're doing to protect drag shows and educate folks on leftism and self defense.

Follow the Armed Queers on Twitter and Instagram: @armedqueersslc

Episode Notes

Jordan and Greg are joined by Alice Caldwell Kelly (@AliceAvizandum) to discuss a multitude of subjects, including Mike Lee's small suspension, the LDS Church hiding assets through shell corporations, how it is such as zero-drip religion, and then we finish it up with a reading series on why Mormons are so susceptible to financial schemes.

Also, join the Patreon for a monthly bonus episode beginning at $2.

Episode Notes

Happy All-Star Weekend, Utah. The entire world has decided to focus its attention on our snowy, mountainous state to watch a bunch of guys who generally wouldn't want to be caught dead here. In this episode Greg and Jordan are joined by Tom Sexton (@TomSexton) from the Trillbillies podcast to discuss the game, why Jazz Owner Ryan Smith is getting way too into it, and finally we also discuss a bit about how Utah has a senator who calls himself "based" on twitter.

Your favorite loverboys are back with a fresh ep off the pod press! In this one, we catch up on the Super Bowl, talk about the upcoming NBA All Star game here in the city, and review all of the amazing things our legislature is doing to fight this water crisis. Don't worry, they're doing a lot. I promise. They really are. Definitely.

We cover the insane catastrophe in East Palestine, OH, the SEC investigating The Church, and the scheme's our local politicians have been up to when it comes to "dealing with the homeless situation."

And finally, we recap those weird Jesus ads from the Super Bowl and dig into the people behind 'em. Not good.

Stay golden.

This week, we're back and we've brought in our dear friend, Mark Agee, as reinforcements. We start things off with our thoughts on the return of The Delta Center, the Millers' continued legacy, and more.

In the Hell Lines this week, Greg takes us through what's been going on, including the Utah legislature reining their terror upon vulnerable people, "George Santos" and his love for dogs, and other lovely stuff.

And finally, the boys reminisce about one of our favorite trends: conservatives cancelling miscellaneous foods, appliances, and sneakers in the name of defending this great country. And, of course, cover the dangers of becoming too attracted to spherical candy.

Follow Mark on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MarkAgee Sub to us on Patreon for extra episodes and discord access: patreon.com/brighamyoungmoney

Episode Notes

Here is a Bonus! Jordan is joined by his wife Elise to discuss education and how it is being affected by the Utah Legislative session. We focus on the voucher system from HB 215: How it cuts funds, only benefits the rich and privileged, and does nothing to support rural students, disabled students, or multi-lingual students.

We then go on to discuss Todd Weiler's SB 100 on school's policies regarding gender identification, and how it makes for unsafe and uncomfortable environments in schools.

We close out with a discussion on Jordan Teuscher's HB 241, an strictly anti-union bill designed to starve public unions of money and kill their ability to operate at all in the organizations they serve.

All in all, a really horrific legislative session.

Episode Notes

The boys took a night off to sit our asses down and listen to our friends help us finally pass the Bechdel Test for the first time in the pod's history, Madison (@madison_tayt), Suz (@TheSuzannahLee), and Ivy (@CelebrityGus)

In this episode they discuss:

• Mormonism and Modesty
• Real Housewives of Salt Lake
• Which host they will remove in their feminist coup (Probably Jordan)
• Economics vs. Astrology, which is more fake
• The Horror in Enoch and how it relates to Utah and US culture
• Online Trad Culture
• Problems with the Salt Lake Olympics bid
• Spencer Cox's Expensive nepobaby advisor
• And men going down the Alt-Right pipeline

It's time to talk about the year that was: 2022. We lived it. We loved it. And the boys enlisted the help of Brian and Josh from The Worst of All Possible Worlds to talk through all the big moments from the year gone by. And at the end, we give out the coveted, honorary awards to the year's biggest freaks. 2023 -- onward and upward.

(Sorry if the audio gets a lil weird toward the end. I had to edit in our backup audio lol)

Happy holidays, bozos. We had a lot to catch up on together... In this ep, we talk about an exciting local NFT export, Rocky declaring for mayor, and our upcoming Street Fight Radio appearance. Then, Greg takes us through his Hell Lines™ that include a local cookie company using child labor, OUR making a comeback, SBF's arrest, and more!

And finally, we talk through the recent waves of mass layoffs taking place across the tech industry, but hitting hard specifically in Utah... just in time for the holidays. We need a complete and total shutdown of economists until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

On the ep, the boys catch up on what we've been up to as a pod and talk about Joe Biden scabbing, Kanye's extended nazi media tour, Elon's brain chips, and more. We also talk about a good op-ed and reporting out of the SL Trib about the water situation and how we can't keep pretending like alfalfa isn't draining our state dry.

And finally, Jordan teaches us about what's been going on with the state prison being moved. Turns out that real estate developers have really bungled the whole thing, leaving extremely unsafe conditions at the new expensive prison, including a massive mosquito problem. Who would've guessed?

Here's some reporting on the prison topic from Paighten Harkins.

Outro song by SLCHC band Spent.

We're back! And it's a fun and not depressing one. The boys are joined by our friends Sean and Joey from the excellent Roundball Rock podcast. We cover quite a bit in this ep, including a recap of the Brandon Midterms, Elon's captaincy of the Twitter Titanic, and more.

Then, Jordan gives us one of his famous history lessons and covers the incredible journey of the Utah Jazz, which includes playing in comically awful arenas with floor nets, consequential involvement by a Saudi arms-dealer, Larry Miller making The Church proud, all leading up to Talen Horton-Tucker dunking on the Lakers in 2022.

Go check out Roundball Rock wherever fine podcasts are served. And go support Joey and Sean. They're cool and funny and I (Kyle) like them. Can't speak for Jordan or Greg.

Greg updates us on his new career path! Catch him at a very special second-iteration of a very special conference definitely taking place next year.

In this ep, we catch up on what's being going on lately and buddy, there's a lot. We talk about racist Utah teenagers wearing some of the most racist costumes we've ever seen, Lula's extremely important victory over perennial covid-haver Jair Bolsonaro, The Church scheming in the outback, Saudis draining the American West, and more.

The boys talk about Greg leaving the Democratic party alongside his favorite surfing TERF, the country moving towards Brandonizing weed, Alex Jones owing the monetary equivalent of trillions of poison brain pills in damages, Burgess Owens hiding from a debate because of a cartoonist, and more.

And finally, we get Dignified using a new online political lifesaver that's stopping violence and saving democracy by analyzing one tweet at a time. Buckle up, baby.

We just launched a discord for our patrons. Should be cool.

That's right, baby. We've made it to 100 and the haters and losers are devastated. They said we couldn't do it. It is the season finale of BYM and we have a special show for you all.

We start out with a quick catch up with a certain congresswoman from Florida, some talk about The Church's pamphlets and a general authority quoting normal guy Rod Dreher, and a discussion of a battle among a father, his son, and CTE. After that, the boys review the hottest politically-correct Halloween costume trends, brought to you by the Deseret News.

And finally, we play a bunch of messages left by our loving friends and guests of the pod who definitely still like us. I think.

Go support them because we love them almost as much as we hate ourselves:

• Mark Agee
• MJ from I Hate This Town
• Amanda and Jason from Yeet the Press
• Dave DuFour
• Carey Shockey aka @shocks
• Colin Young aka The Pod Doctor
• Sarah Todd
• Poster Jordan's lovely wife

Thank you all for listening and supporting the show. Let's hope the Great Salt Lake isn't dry by the time we get to episode 200.

Yo! It's Kyle and Greg this week. We start things off by talking about our new and exciting sponsor, an update on Jordan's whereabouts, the untimely death of a monarch, and the anniversary of Ted Cruz exposing his online tastes. We then briefly talk about a wild situation in Vegas, the horrific water situation in Jackson, and another LDS bishop getting busted for extremely bad stuff.

The main event for this episode, though, is our discussion with our favorite historian, Nate Housley (@Nate_Housley), a founding member of Save Our Great Salt Lake.

We talk about the water situation in Utah, the effects of the shrinking Great Salt Lake, the impact of agriculture and the questions we should be asking about it, and what needs to be done to start turning things around.

Save Our Great Salt Lake will be at Slackwater SLC (684S 500W) at 6PM this Wednesday, September 14th. Come meet like-minded people, socialize, and then hear Nate give a presentation starting at 7 about the frontier origin of our water system and where we go from here.

We fully discuss the Dobbs case that overturned Roe v. Wade, and what the new reality means for all of us. In that we also discuss an article from our favorite newspaper where they lay the case for "institutions of love" that need to be created for mothers in need that will emerge in the post-Roe world. It's garbage.

We are joined by Brace Belden of the TrueAnon Podcast (@TrueAnonPod) to talk about the spectacle of the dueling press conferences by the Utah County Attorney and the Utah County Sheriff dealing with the matter of if the UC Attorney is a cannibal child sex freak. Or if the Utah County Sheriff is using information from a fake British man who dresses like the Penguin, faked his own death, and is wanted for sexual assault in Utah County.

We also talk about Brace's experiences in Utah at AlphaCon, Greg's making of a varsity athlete, the sad current state of Bob Dylan, BYU and soaking, and the 2003 Cuba Gooding Jr. movie Radio.

Episode Notes

Kyle, Jordan, and Greg mourn our dear sweet long-serving Senator, Orrin Grant Hatch. We certainly don't discuss his history of corruption, his ties to Utah's radical right, and his horrific treatment of Anita Hill.

We also discuss some other current events, like the Jazz being terrible and the Utah Democrats punting on having a senate candidate in the service of personality blackhole, Evan McMullin.

Episode Notes

Greg and Kyle are back to talk about some of the insane things going on right now

Episode Notes

We are joined by Jacob Klopfenstein of the University of Utah's City & Metropolitan Planning Department and former KSL reporter to discuss residential planning and the housing situation within the Salt Lake Valley. 

Greg and Jordan also discuss their adventures into Alpha Con and how they ran into quite a few celebrities.

Episode Notes

The boys are back to discuss the very clean cut Ukrainian-Russian Conflict (Disclaimer: We are dumb and don't know anything, don't yell at us). But we mainly discuss the statement put out by Utah Governor, Spencer Cox. Namely, how normal, self-aware, and completely devoid of any possible fetishizing of the sacrifice of innocent Ukrainians it was. Bravo, Governor. Bravo.

Episode Notes

NOTE: WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT UKRAINE IN THIS JORDAN WAS LAZY AND DIDNT EDIT ANYTHING FOR A COUPLE WEEKS BECAUSE HE SUCKS.

Anyway, we discuss Evan McMullin, a candidate for Utah's senate seat that is currently vying for Democratic and Independent support. He sucks, don't vote for him

Episode Notes

Greg and Jordan are joined by Cristina Rosetti, PhD, (@CristinaMartaR) a scholar on minority religions and Mormon fundamentalism, to discuss a strange online artifact that came out recently. It was a documentary that asks a titular question "Who Killed Joseph Smith." We also discuss the growth of Mormon fundamentalism in the online age, and the best chocolate shops in Utah County.

We discuss Poppy Madness, Q Anon bringing back JFK Jr. and the 104 year old JFK Sr, and then discuss the Utah legislature redrawing the congressional boundaries that everyone was totally okay with it.

Episode Notes

The boys are back to discuss shadowy groups that have been pressuring schools and school boards to try and remove anything even possibly controversial. We also look at the ties these groups have to right-wing astroturf money firms, and also Mitt Romney's really awesome Ted Lasso costume

Episode Notes

On the occasion of our 69th episode we discuss the nice and civil politicians that make up our system, namely the late Colin Powell and Utah's next senator, Evan McMullin.

Episode Notes

The Boys are back together to discuss a myriad of topics. First, our recent appearance on the I Hate This Town Podcast, where we discuss all sorts of topics related to Utah, MLMs, and instagram influences. (Follow them at @HateThisTownPod) We then move on to the comments made by Utah Senate President J Stuart Adams about Donovan Mitchell "being uneducated" about his disapproval of the state's actions on CRT. Finally, we finish with a discussion about this weekend's "Holy War" game between Utah and BYU, namely why it shouldn't even happen. Then we finish with a discussion on LGBTQ issues with BYU, LDS Apostle's anti-LGBTQ speech, and a brief history of BYU's abuse of LGBTQ students.

In this episode, we're joined for an interview with our Emergency Room Doctor/friend Ken Sterns (@roto_tudor on Twitter) for a talk about how things are going in Southern Missouri in one of the most proudly unvaccinated areas of the country. Unsurprisingly, it's kinda bad.

Before that, Greg and Kyle talk about the rest of the insanely cool and fun shit that's going on around town. Hottest gossip on the web!

(Sorry, this is Kyle and this is the first time I've edited and published a podcast. Jordan usually takes care of this and I'm scared and alone while he's at army. If something sounds messed up or bad or whatever, forgive me, tell me, and tell Jordan to never leave us ever again)

Enjoy!

Episode Notes

All the boys are back together to discuss a lot of issues. They start discussing COVID and the upswing in Utah, the ongoing mask debate with Salt Lake County, the new developments with DezNat, and our recent posting battles against the worst of Twitter.

Episode Notes

Greg and Jordan are joined by our old pal Colin (@ColYou) while Kyle is still vacationing, but also we are joined by author, veteran, and host of the Lions Led By Donkeys Podcast, Joe Kassabian (@jkass99). In this episode we discuss the New York Times article featuring Black Rifle Coffee and how "sorry, not sorry" they are about the whole propagating right-wing violence thing.

Episode Notes

Greg and Jordan answer mailbag questions from our loyal listeners. It gets a bit weird. Hear the whole thing by subscribing at patreon.com/BrighamYoungMoney

Episode Notes

Greg and Kyle talk about all the newsworthy things in the last week, first touching on the supposed turmoil in Cuba, a particular non-profit that is staffed by nothing but Reaganite monsters, how the US has managed to completely change the meaning of what Nelson Mandela stood for, and finished with a reading series about a group of Nebraska Burger King employees who decided to all quit, due to horrid work conditions and low pay.

Episode Notes

We are Greg-less in this episode, as Kyle and Jordan do a deep dive into how horrible the summer has been so far, including resurgent COVID, inability of the state to address the possibility of fireworks burning down all of Utah, climate change coming for us all, and Salt Lake City deciding that the numerous scandals from the previous year meant that cops really needed a 30% pay raise.

All-in-all, Summer sucks.

Episode Notes

Greg and Jordan discuss a somber tale of cancel culture, where the former CEO of JetBlue and current Stanford professor cries about cancel culture from his heated pool overlooking the Santa Clara Valley.

Links to the articles:https://www.deseret.com/2021/6/20/22516382/my-road-to-cancellation

Episode Notes

A movie episode! With the spirit of the NBA Playoffs and having our spirts slowly crushed over the course of an evening, we watched the 1996 film Celtic Pride. Since it is a movie involving the Utah Jazz and the Boston Celtics, we asked Carey Shockey (@shocks) our favorite New England lawyer to help us understand Boston sports fandom and help honor the great acting career of Christopher McDonald.

Episode Notes

We discuss Karl Malone's shady past, our ongoing drought, and how the the governor of Utah is reaching for divine intervention to stop our drought, like a kid who didn't study for a test.

Join our Patreon: https://patreon.com/brighamyoungmoney for bonus episodes and content.

We record live for the first time (Audio might be a little janky, still trying to adapt) and discuss first past businesses in Salt Lake, especially Frontier Pies, then we discuss the events that surrounded the accosting of Ja Morant's family by Jazz fans and the racial tones it had. Then we go down memory lane discussing passed Jazz fan incidents and why Utah has the reputation it does.

Oh and we launched a Patreon. Give us money. https://www.patreon.com/brighamyoungmoney

Episode Notes

We circle back around to talking about Operation Underground Railroad and a couple illuminating articles from Slate and Vice News about the social media heavy organization. In this episode we discuss the organization's associations with adrenochrome-obsessed weirdo Jim Caviezel, and rise-and-grind Utah real estate investors.

We discuss how our state will be tinderbox for the next 5-9 months, due to an exceptional (or extreme) drought, then we discuss Utah's foray into Critical Race Theory, Jon McNaughton's new Trump Truck painting, and Utah's leaders giving a statement on Israel for some reason.

We also lost like the last 30 seconds of the recording, so just imagine we say "goodbye" at the end.

Episode Notes

Another movie episode! We are joined by Bryan Quinby (@murderxbryan), from Street Fight Radio and the P.O.D. Kast, to discuss Bryan's past with Mormonism and a charming relic of past Mormon Cinema, The Book of Mormon Movie Vol. 1. (Spoiler Alert: There was never a Volume 2).

Episode Notes

We Talk the GOP convention, including the airing of grievances through the power of whiteboards, Mitt Romney getting booed like he just cancelled the senior prom, Senator Mike Lee's non-stop sycophancy, and Governor Spencer Cox's ever-changing tone based on audience. Then we finish with a discussion about Salt Lake Mayor's homeless initiative to house the homeless with tiny house communities that might also double as a work-house, and how real estate developers are going to make the magic happen. HOW PROGRESSIVE!

Episode Notes

We are back with a more contemporary episode. In this one we discuss the "racist" Utah Jazz scholarship program that made every prominent right-wing figure throw a tantrum, then we discuss Dwyane Wade joining the Jazz ownership group and why that doesn't automatically make the primary owner a good billionaire, and finally how local scumbags discussed the Derek Chauvin verdict. Enjoy.

Episode Notes

In this episode we do a historical dive into the 1960s and 1970s of protests against BYU athletics and the racial policies of the university and the LDS church, and how many different schools and teams approached the subject through protest.

Episode Notes

We are back after Jordan's wedding to bring you another basketball episode featuring Athletic Writer and Podcaster, Zach Harper (@TalkHoops).

In this episode we discuss bad Whoopi Goldberg movies, Paul Pierce's eventful night on IG Live, Trade Deadline stuff, Evan Fournier's colorful introduction to Boston, The Jazz, The beef between Kevin Durant and Michael Rapaport, and Michael Beasley bullying pickup games on social media.

It's good to be back

Episode Notes

We know we have been gone for awhile (Editor's Note - I'm in grad school and getting married at the end of the month, eat me - Love, Jordan) but we are back with a new episode to discuss many of the goings-on of Utah. First we discuss a thank you card to the state Democratic Party for doing nothing, then we discuss Seal-gate, how the Jazz's new owner had to save the state from itself and why that might be a bad thing long term. Finally, we all discuss how cool Prince Phillip looked in the back of that car. Keep grinding King.

Episode Notes

We are joined by Dan Carson (@TheDoctorCarson) from the Cron.com to discuss a little basketball before we get into the important topics of children toys and books, a post-Trump world, The Senate Parmeseanitarian, a congressman with a drinking problem, and how Texas has managed to jump from one disaster to another due to mix of cruelty and hubris.

Episode Notes

We discuss the Biden Presidency, from reopened immigration camps to bombing Syria, and how it's just going to get worse. Following that we discuss Neera Tanden (SEMPER POST) and her ill-fated nomination to be the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. following that, we go local to discuss a local sports columnist lamenting the lose of the last good boy in sports, Tim Tebow, and how locals in Southern Utah want to keep a racist name, and show their dedication to a bit. Last, we discuss the transgender bill the Utah legislature finally pulled, and the state of LGBTQ advocacy in the state.

Episode Notes

We are joined by our friends Jason(@frazierapproves) and Amanda(@amandadabee) and from the podcast Yeet The Press (@YeetThePress) to discuss the untimely departure of Rush Limbaugh, the larger implications of the Texas Ice Storm, and how the Utah Legislature uses faux feminist talking points to attack trans kids.

Episode Notes

We go sports again as we are joined with Jabari Davis (@JabariDavisNBA) to discuss the NBA, if the Jazz are for real, and why the national anthem before games is an unnecessary and easily forgotten element to professional sports

Episode Notes

We all don matching track suits and discuss SLC Punk and its recent lackluster sequel with our friend, labor lawyer and Boston punk, Carey Shockey (@Shocks on twitter)

Episode 34 - You Don't Gotta Hand it To Mormon ISIS

We are back with a new episode, sorry for the delay, Jordan had a birthday and was lazy. In this episode we discuss the vaccine distribution and why horse people should be in charge of distribution, Shaq and the Utah Legislature, and a follow up to our previous DezNat episode, about how the local media managed to cover them in very irresponsible way. Enjoy!

Episode Notes

We are joined by Evan Worthen (@harabevan) to discuss a social media trend that just refuses to go away. #DezNat is a supposedly Mormon subculture that proclaims to be ardent defenders of the faith, but in actuality push a hyper-chauvinistic and white nationalistic form of Mormonism. In this episode we discuss some of the personalities, beliefs, leaked discord chats, and how people in #DezNat can never stop themselves from praising Hitler.

Episode Notes

We enter the Biden era with a sports episode. Joined by Sarah Todd (@NBAsarah), we discuss the NBA's COVID policy changes, the Nets with James Harden and how he will coexist with Kyrie and KD, and lastly how if the Jazz can continue their hot start and what the ceiling is like for Utah.

Episode 31

We discuss the loss of Trump's twitter and all the classics from him we will miss. We then move into discussing a local person that has tried to make a name for himself as a provocative activist, but has ostracized himself from most movements and is now under arrest for his actions at the Capitol.

In recording this episode, we had some microphone and recording issues, so it's not a good as it usually is.

Episode Notes

The boys are joined by Colin (@Colyou), Isaac (@sloanimperative), and returning guest Mark Agee (@markagee). We all discuss the only news story that seems to matter anymore, the storming of the capitol, and what it means for all of us. We also discuss a Mitt Romney op-ed he wrote about how incivility ON BOTH SIDES is to blame for our problems, including why saying rich people are to blame for the 2008 Recession is just as bad as those that stormed the capitol.

Episode Notes

The boys discuss the past year and what's horrors we can expect in the immediate future. Enjoy!

Episode Notes

Happy Holidays and congratulations on our recent victory in the War on Christmas! In this episode we discuss the story of a racist wellness influencer who was pilled with conspiracy theories, why our governor is just like Bobby Newport on Parks and Recreation in his constant twitter whining, and how the stimulus is an insult to all Americans and proof that all of our rulers hate us! Anyway, I hope this is a decent distraction from your uncle's diatribe about how Trump can still win.

Enjoy!

Episode Notes

We did it. Our first sports specific episode, featuring Dave DuFour (@DaveDuFourNBA) and Tony Jones (@TJonesontheNBA) of the Athletic and the Game Notes podcast to discuss the NBA season beginning and how Utah has a happening pickup basketball scene. Enjoy

Episode 26: Gentle Ben

The boys are initially joined by City Weekly Director of Operations, Pete Saltas (Twitter: @petesaltas) to discuss the Save Utah Jobs initiative and how Utah can support bars and restaurants of Salt Lake that are struggling right now, due to government inaction and apathy.

After that we discuss a Tribune article about how our favorite Democratic Utah Congressman is weary of the leftward shift of Democrats, and how centrism is the only way forward, despite him just getting his ass kicked.

The boys go into the second part of our recording session, where we discuss if Kobe was the best player of all time, Rudy Giuliani's gastric distress in an election hearing, why Myspace rocked, why Nancy Pelosi and Democrats don't, and things are bad.

The Boys talk with Eric Patterson, licensed clinical social worker and mental health professional (@jinx532 on twitter) to talk about how to keep a sound mind during a chaotic period. It's a good listen, and we also dip a little Into BYU football at the end for those Interested. ****

Episode Notes

The boys discuss the fallout from the election, new COVID restrictions, the cutesy response from the governor-elect towards anti-mask protestors, and the utter uselessness of the Democratic Party in Utah and how funny it is that Ben McAdams lost.

Episode 19:

The crew talks about the final debate, the multitude of horniness seen online, and how being civil in politics is dumb.

The Boys ( @Kylypso, @Dadshammdad, & @GIJoeyJoeJoe) are joined by Mark Agee (@MarkAgee) to discuss the very uneventful last week. We first discuss the NBA Finals, the arrest of noted cool guy Jacob Wohl, a quick rundown of the first debate.

Episode 16:

The Boys begin by talking about the 2010 TCU-Utah football game, then Kyle Jokerfying into a restricted Twitter Account. After that we discuss the upcoming debate, since we recorded before Tuesday's debate, and then we quickly discuss the New York Times' Trump Tax story. Finally we discuss the week that the Burgess Owens campaign had, including stories of improprieties at Burgess's foundation, going on another Q-Anon aligned podcast, and having a truck smash into his campaign headquarters. Busy week.

Boys are back to discuss the departure of RBG and what the void on the court means for the election, Democrats, and the country. Then we discuss how Utah's plan of doing nothing about COVID has finally paid off in the form of a second even larger wave. Afterwards, we check in on an old dance promoting friend with his underground, poorly ventilated dance parties with predictable results. Finally, we check with the Church as a top leader decides to compare COVID's wrath to that of pornography.

The boys are back following a massive windstorm that knocked down trees and knocked out power to thousands in Utah. In the episode we dig into the aftermath of the storm, future climate calamity, Bob Woodward's tapes and his delay in reporting, and the tragic shooting of a 13 year old autistic child by police. Oh, and we all discuss challenge coins.

In good news, the boys announced that we will be doing a companion series to the upcoming Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Stay tuned for further details.

In this episode, we discuss the themes that seem to unify almost all topics of our previous episodes: grifts, attention-seeking, Mormonism, and Donovan Mitchell's Instagram.

The first part we discuss a Provo dance party that divided the locals on if it was dangerous to the body or to the moral soul. Then we discuss the promoter of the dance party and his belief in celebrity sex cabals. Finally we discuss a prominent local philanthropist, who uses his skills and money to write books on how historical figures were led by Mormonism, and to lead raids in developing countries for the purpose of fundraising and because it looks cool.

The crew is joined by local political activist and organizer, Madalena McNeil ( @utahmads ), to discuss her work with the COVID-19 Mutual Aid SLC Network, the protests surrounding police brutality and the extreme backlash from local police, and finally the Salt Lake City Police Foundation, a slush fund for off-book budget items for the SLCPD, funded by some of the worst organizations within Utah and the country.

The boys discuss all the horrific things that have made Utah a splendid place to live: how our cops are only able to inflict violence on the powerless, or do nothing to stop sexual violence against women, as seen by the large growth of the Utah twitter trend of #UtahRapists

Oh and we also talk about Wayfair becoming the new pizzagate. Things are bad and dumb everywhere
