The boys are joined by University of Utah Economics Professor Marshall Steinbaum (@Econ_Marshall) to discuss Kyle's trip through Hooligan violence in Amsterdam, and then the results of the election, and how those ivory tower eggheads screwed us all again.
Holy lord, we made it. Election Day.
Anyway, against our better judgement Greg and Jordan did an episode with Josh from The Worst of All Possible Worlds Podcast to look into the last few weeks of the Trump Campaign and make predictions that will either make us seem like prophets or the dumbest people on earth. Time will tell!
You can find Josh on Twitter @boshj, or Bluesky at @bosh, and you can find The Worst of All Possible Worlds on their Website or any podcast source.
Howdy! It's your BYM buds checking in with a new ep.
For this one, we had officially official BYM Southern Utah Correspondent, Zak Podmore, on the podcast. Before getting to the really good stuff, we chatted about all the garbage talk from the garbage rally at MSG, Trump being a sex criminal still, and more.
In our main segment tonight, and the real reason we made Zak come on the show other than making him learn about things against his will, was to talk about his fantastic new book: "LIFE AFTER DEAD POOL: Lake Powell's Last Days and the Rebirth of the Colorado River"
You should buy it and read it because it (red) rocks:

I won't wax poetic about it in the description of a podcast episode, but you can hear me (Kyle) do that on the show because it is a beautiful, informative, and optimistic book about the reality facing an extremely key feature of the American southwest and how it all got to this point.
The extremely relevant and delightful outro music provided by Jackson Emmer: Houseboat Pontoon
Greg and Jordan talk with members of the Teamsters 222 who are attempting to form a union with the Grocery chain WinCo. We discuss the challenges of organizing, the limitations of "employee owned and empowered businesses" and how to overcome crippling social anxiety to talk with your coworkers about organizing.

The boys return for an episode so special that we needed to bring in some reinforcements. While Erin Vanderhoof isn't technically from Utah, she pretty much is spiritually.
In this ep, we talk Utah's ballot amendment mess, Israel doing more bad stuff (gasp), Eric Adams' arrest, and more.
But the main topic in this episode is what's been on the forefront of the American mind: The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives -- the hit television series on Hulu. We discuss all the drama and the arc of our feelings throughout the season, which turned out to be surprisingly complicated.

Can't wait for szn 2 of this show
The boys are all back to discuss the DNC, the bleakness of Greg's replies, and what happens when an idiot and a narcissist meet at a cemetery
Jordan and Greg are joined by author, journalist, and podcaster, Jason Kirk (@jasonkirk_fyi) to talk about his excellent new book Hell Is A World Without You. Which is about the experience of growing up Evangelical at the turn of the 21st Century, and all the unique cultural aspects that come from that exact moment of political and social upheaval.

You can find Jason at his other podcasts, The Shutdown Fullcast and Vacation Bible School
Kyle and Jordan discuss the recent happenings, mainly the recent primary elections and Utah and Joe Biden's historic and incredibly competent debate performance.
Greg and Jordan are joined by Economics Professor Academic Marshall Steinbaum (@Econ_Marshall) to discuss the current situation in Gaza, it's ramifications back on American campuses, and how the political establishment are reacting to all of these events.
Jordan and Kyle do some riffing on RFK Jr having literal brain worms and his important new endorsement, we then go over Utah's choices for a new hockey team name, and then finish it off by talking about the money and plans for Ryan Smith's new entertainment district in Salt Lake City.
