A Raw Talk

Send us a message What if our favorite social media apps were just as controversial as they are addictive? Join hosts Joe, Thee Gooch, and Benny as we navigate the terrain of the TikTok ban in the U.S., exploring the tangled web of data privacy concerns and Chinese ownership. We don"t hold back as we compare TikTok"s practices with tech giants like Facebook and Instagram. Throw in a debate on the political chess game surrounding student debt cancellation, and we’re just getting warmed up. The episode takes a reflective turn as we share our personal musings on mortality, comparing the practicality of cremation versus the financial burden of traditional burials. Ever wondered what chaos looks like in a podcast studio? Picture this: a dramatic dog bite incident involving a feisty Siberian Husky named Molly sets the stage for our personal stories segment. Amid the fur and frenzy, we also share the journey into a new job as a city worker, emphasizing the sweet taste of financial security and retirement prospects. As we shift gears, the conversation touches on the ominous California fires, hinting at the political undercurrents that may lurk beneath the surface, and connecting back to our earlier discussions. We then take a cinematic detour with the likes of Mel Gibson and the emotional upheaval of the recent fires impacting celebrity homes. Rising rent prices in Los Angeles lead us to consider potential legislative changes around child support taxation, while also exploring the curious intersection of celebrity culture and politics. Entertainers like Chris Tucker and Vanilla Ice offer a stark contrast to the politically outspoken Robert De Niro. And for a touch of humor, we wrap things up with our take on gym culture, poking fun at the self-perception and exaggerated masculinity that often run rampant in fitness spaces.Blue moon belgian white wheat ale Belgian style white wheat Ale Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
