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.

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.
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.

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
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.
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).
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!
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.
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.
