WE'RE DOING IT LIVE (We also did it on Thursday so it's a bit outdated) Greg, Jordan, and Kyle touch on a lot of topics, the Elon-Trump makeup/breakup, JD doing musical theatre jokes, ICE protests, and the Army's Parade. Good Stuff.
Greg, Jordan, and Kyle are back to discuss all the fun happenings, including online Utahns getting mad a Pride logos, NBA Youngboy finally free of Cache Valley, Elon's love of every type of mind-altering substances, our governor's fecklessness, and the "Big Beautiful Bill"
This week, Kyle and Greg briefly catch up before chatting with Ian of Utah Health Workers United & United Campus Workers of Utah and organizer with the Utah Workers Center. We talk all about the challenges and successes of Ian's journey organizing labor unions in our great state.

CWA Local 7765 is also hosting an event, this Saturday, to celebrate May Day.
Saturday, May 3rd from 1–5 PM @ Jordan Park – Southwest Pavilion. Full info here:
We're back. Listen, this isn't a very structured episode, but we move. We're embracing the chaos tonight.
In this episode, the boys rant about what's been going on locally, nationally, and within the prisons of our own psyches. Sundance, 401ks, tarrifs, White Lotus Season 3. We've got it all.
Note from me, Kyle: sorry for doing something loud with my voice at one point. Not sure what to classify it, but "yelling" didn't seem to fully capture what happened. You tell me.
We're going to the Bernie and AOC rally at the U this weekend. If you wanna link up before, after, or during, let us know via DM or whatever other method you may see fit.
You can RSVP for the event here.
PEACE AND LOVE, BABY
Jordan and Greg are joined by Elise, Jordan's wife and a public-school teacher to discuss HB 267, a law passed by the Utah legislature that removes the ability of public sector workers to collectively bargain as a part of a union or employment association, and the ongoing referendum efforts by unions, public sector workers and employment associations trying to undo that law.
Come to the signing event on March 30th at Central 9th Marketplace, all information can be found on here

Greg talks with Tyler Jordan, the lead singer of the band Good Looks, on music, their band, religion, political awakenings, and the importance of activism.
BYM, baby. This week, Greg interviews Taylor Barnes, a field reporter with Ink Stick Media who focuses on military affairs and the defense industry.
In her work, she uncovered a connection about how the LDS Church, known for its humanitarian focus, has quietly invested in defense giant Northrop Grumman through its multibillion-dollar fund, Ensign Peak Advisors. Greg is here to talk to Taylor about that reporting.
You can find Taylor's excellent piece here:

So this is the new year. And I know a lot of things don't feel any different. And honestly, a lot of things have gotten worse.
But not with this episode. No chance. In this one, Kyle and Greg interview Joe and Tate from the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association, a union of ski patrollers that work at Park City Mountain Resort that was able to successfully pressure Vail Resorts (the corporation) into coming to the table to negotiate a new contract. We catch up with the two of them to discuss what got them into ski patrolling, the contract dispute they've been in with Vail for a year, and what it's like to go on strike during one of the biggest weeks of the year for the company and the resort.
This saga with the PC Ski Patrollers and Vail has shown the benefit of unions and the power of solidarity. Things we love to see!
Their union is part of United Mountain Workers and if you work at a ski resort and are interested in unionizing, go here: https://www.unitedmountainworkers.org
The Boys are back and need to catch up on a lot since, like most of you, we've let a lot of work pile up during the holiday season. In this episode we talk about South Korea, Syria, Trump's cabinet, and then finish up with a long discussion on what the current situation involving health insurance and how we got here, and what we can do going forward.
Anyway, come have fun with us on December 15th at The Ruin Bar at 6:00 PM 159 S Main Street, Salt Lake City.
Please bring warm clothes, non-perishable food, or donate cash for school lunch debt.
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.
