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