Happy Memorial Day!

We want to wish all of our [awesome] listeners a very happy and safe Memorial Day Weekend. In observation of the holiday, and because we know that so many of your are taking the time to enjoy your families (and vacation time!) we've decided not to post a podcast this week.

We hope that you will take this opportunity to go through and give a listen to some of our past podcasts that you may have missed out on. We sure do crank them out, and we wouldn't want you missing anything! Go back, give a listen, and hop into the discussion.

Above all, enjoy your weekend, and the unofficial start of the summer season!

Episode 13- Obama's Report Card & Favorites

Lucky number 13 is here!

This week, we're rating Obama's Presidency (so far) and talking about his successes, failures, highs and lows. We discuss what our expectations were, and how he measured up. Will you agree or disagree with our points of view? Listen in and find out--we'd love to hear your report card for the President as well.

In our ladder segment, we'll be mixing it up and doing a little Q&A with one another about our favorite things. It's a lighter, funnier, more personal segment, and we hope you will enjoy and play along, telling us some of your favorite things as well!!

We hope you will enjoy another week of Honestly!!

Episode 12- Pity & Art Versus Entertainment

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.

For today's episode, we're veering a little by not covering a political topic in the podcast. We make the rules, so we can break the rules--it's just how we roll. Anyway, it's a pseudo holiday weekend, so we're mixing it up.

This week, we're talking about pity, a worthy subject. Is pity an emotion that gets enough credit? Or it is undervalued? We are debating the nature of pity itself. This seems fitting on a day such as Mother's Day because there are a lot of parents who have lost their children, or children who have lost their parents. We touch on that briefly, and it's something worth thinking about a day like today where lots of people are celebrating...and yet others are not.

The second subject we discuss is art versus entertainment. In a society where we've made reality television a mainstay, where is the high art? Furthermore, is high art perverted these days into something that can only be enjoyed by the upper crust of society? We're getting into it, and we hope you will join the conversation!

Episode 11- Riots & Gay Marriage

Given all of the events of the past week, we decided we needed to talk about riots in general. We are taking it as a broad subject, but also tying in a lot of the events from Baltimore this week.

We have talked about race as it relates to these topics as well, and you can access that past podcast by CLICKING HERE. We aren't going to cover racism as a focus in this segment, although we will discuss it some (just not in as much detail.)

There is an article we discuss in this week's podcast by Mother Jones. We encourage everyone to give this a read, as it is central to the conversation we're having specifically concerning the Baltimore riots, but it's also very important news. Access that by clicking HERE.

The other subject we're covering is gay marriage. As some of you may know, this is a topic being debated in the Supreme Court right now. They won't rule on it until summer, but this is big deal for gay rights advocates and the gay community in general. We are talking about the arguments being made in the Supreme Court and letting our hair down just a little in this segment.

 We hope you will share our podcast with your friends, and help our growth! Enjoy this week's episode.

Episode 10- 2016 Presidential Race & Pit Bulls

It's our 10th episode!!!!! Hard to believe, and we are really excited. This has to be one of our favorite episodes so far, and our energy just soars. Though, we may not make too many friends on this one.

First up, we're talking about the 2016 Presidential Race. The candidates. The parties. The whole nine yards. We can't wait to hear what you all think and what your early predictions might be.

Second, we're really going there with a discussion on the pit bull breed. This gets passionate, and a little snarky, and we know that pit bull owners are very defensive...so they may not like what we have to say. We look forward to your comments on this one--love us or hate us--there is bound to be a lot on both sides of the fence.

Get your boxing mitts ready...this is podcast offers a one-two punch!

Episode 9- Conspiracy Theories & Freewill

Wow, can you guys believe it's our 9th episode? Thanks again (and as always) for listening to our podcast. The rhythm is really becoming established now and we're so happy to be a part of your weekly routine!

This week we're talking about conspiracy theories--are they real, or just for fun? Why does the moon landing conspiracy theory make people so angry whereas others, such 9/11, don't?

Also, we are talking about whether or not freewill is real. That is a particularly existential question and one we have debated privately many times.
We're excited to hear what you guys all think of our topics. Please feel free to comment in--agree or disagree--you know we love some good banter! This week is a little lighter, nothing too heavy...but next week we're gonna flare up again, so be prepared!
