Episode 89: Enter The Murder Garage

On episode 89 Don and Offie are joined by the owner of the murder garage, Keyport chicken man and resident bad ass, John. With his help the guys talk about the disappearance, murder and possible sexual assault of Vanessa Guillen, and how this event could be a microcosm of larger issues within the U.S. military. How military and civilian life differ and how that can affect the people leading those lives, as well as the similarities between being in the military and being a law enforcement officer. The now widely known McClosky couple of St.Louis, the details of their infamy, the subsequent taking of their firearms, and what they did right and wrong. The protection of private property using the 2nd amendment and how the optics of that choice can change depending on your race. Woke & cancel culture and when they can begin to go too far. Benefits and improvements from the Murder Garage, and the balance between body positivity and objective health. The record breaking contract of Patrick Mahomes, the lessons to be learned from football and exactly what half a billion dollars can do for a community. The lack of ideological diversity in public education and the subsequent lack of benefits from completion, why trades should be presented in the same light as a college degree and why it may not be our parents fault we don’t see it that way. How John spent his quarantine and the blossoming of a beautiful new friendship.

Episode #88: From the Mouths of Babes

Episode #88 Saturday June 27, 2020 Feat. Shelby

On episode 88 Don and Offie are joined by Don’s cousin Shelby, with her help the boys were able to get a glimpse into what the COVID shutdown was like from the viewpoint of not only a High-School Senior, but also a Certified Nurses Assistant. The crew start off by talking about Shelby’s experience continuing school during COVID and her subsequently graduating (contact free, of course). Don and Offie then try to get a read on the political and civics education that is being provided to our students, using Shelby as a barometer. Then, the boys run Shelby through A POLITICAL GAUNTLET to see where she might sit on the political spectrum and how well she feels her opinions may coincides with the opinions of her school mates. Shelby was such a great guest and knowingly or not, gave both Don and Offie some hope for the future in these trying times. Come take a listen to our first GEN-Z GUEST, it was a fantastic show and we can’t wait to hear what you think!

Episode 87: NILS, CHAZ, and The News

On episode 87 Don and Offie are joined by Elijah AKA PNW Nils of Upper Left. Continuing the conversation started last week the trio dig into deep and thought provoking conversation about the way social media being used in the last few weeks and what and individuals responsibility is to speak publicly, Dons recent journey of learning and relearning about figures like Malcom X and The Black Panther Party and how inadequate school education on these subjects can be. The social stigma that exists around guns, and how that leads to a fundamental misunderstanding of the second amendment which has hindered the ability of people, young black men in particular, to safely express their second amendment rights to protect themselves. The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), their goals and demands, the voices being heard from CHAZ, as well as the truth and lies being reported within and about the zone. The importance of words and definitions in conversation and in slogans (defund the police, BLM), a larger picture at hand regarding the erosion of the fundamental rights inshrined in The Bill of Rights and how race is potentially being used as a distraction from this issue. Potential steps forward in the form of restructuring and reform of the police and community involvement and how daily interactions with the police and an eternal power struggle with authority can hinder that progression and legislation being proposed federally. Wrapping up with the way the COVID shut down affected NILS, and insight into the process, inspiration and future projects to come for PNW NILS and Upper Left as a whole.

Episode 86: The Revolution of our Time

We have thought long and hard the last few days of the best way for us to proceed as a company regarding the protests this week and the events and years that have lead to them. In an effort to ensure that the full message we have is understood fully we have decided that the best way is for us to use our largest platform (our podcast) to spread the message of personal freedom, pursuit of happiness and equal opportunity for all people regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, or any other factor as well as amplifying black voices in a time where so many feel ignored and unheard. We have and will ALWAYS be in support of this message. To those in this country that feel ignored please make no mistake, we hear you. We see you. And we are with you. No one in this world has the right to hinder the progression of any other individual. The memories of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and many many more will never be forgotten.

On episode 87 Don and Offie are joined by Aleks (with a K) to get a sense of the way that COVID-19 and the shutdown affected him. The sexual assault allegations leveled against Joe Biden by Tara Reade and the subsequent coverage the allegations got in mainstream media and how they were received by prominent figures on the left. The recent executive order by President Trump aimed at the powers social media companies have to police the content on their platforms. A long conversation is started (that will span multiple episodes) about police brutality, race relations, and personal freedoms within this country, discussed through the context of the murders of people like Breonna Taylor and George Floyd by police officers.

Here is when we started talking about Brett Kavanaugh

Here is when we talked about Mark Zuckerberg testifying in front of congress

In light of the recent protests regarding the murder of George Floyd we would like to continue and increase our effort to amplify black voices in a time where so many feel unheard. If you or some one you know has a story of view you think should be shared, please reach out to us.
