#399 Think It Through Before You Criticize Something

Before you jump on your soapbox to admonish me as a chauvinistic pig, hear me out. It was just too good of a title to pass up and really is a funny story and thought process. Today is light hearted and explores some funny thoughts about some simple, common interactions such as should men shake women's hand in a casual setting? Because I'm getting mixed signals over the course of my tenure, shaking or not shaking women's hands. I found a fun new way to answer people's questions thanks to our inspiring president and explore a common phrase used in an interaction that doesn't always pan out in the right way. Oh and we get an update on how I've been doing with my Norwegian Goodbyes Lots of fun thoughts! The Website The Meade Hall

I've been talking about it for a while now and it's finally here! My probably too extensive and long book review of Dan Kimball's "How (Not) to Read the Bible." Do I do anything short though? no so you get the full breakdown of his book but not enough to justify NOT buying it. Go buy it and read it for yourself. I give this book a 12 out of 12.

I can't remember not only names at this point but that I even met certain people..with whom I had made dinner plans! Man I'm earning the head honyock title. Okay so the bulk of this episode is about the coordinated attacks on Joe Rogan to cancel him. The powers at be do not want him to have a voice and it's clear by the attacks led on him. It's a complicated situation that deserves context and grace. Below is all the links you should need.

The Merch store is live! It's called the Meade Hall and it's on redbubble so go check out the first round of merch! It's only stickers now but it will expand. In an update, Whoopi is actually a Caryn, that's right! I may or may not have been eating avocado toast this week. An olympic announcer botches a common phrase, the LA mayor lets us know that holding your breath is an alternative to wearing a mask. China is poaching our olympic athletes as they defect to compete for them despite their entire careers and lives being a product of living in America. Finally, I've upgraded my gym rat status to duffle bag bro. No I'm not toting it around with me all over the gym but I am taking one to the gym. I might make stickers about it.

That's right! I'm not just doing some merch but the podcast is being rebranded with a NEW LOGO! Go to social media to check out the new logo and let me know what you think! Otherwise this episode talked the Washington Commanders announcement, trying to steal the thunder of my announcement, but failing miserably! But yeah we have the Washington Commanders now. They have a name. Good for them. The Superbowl should be fun! Despite the rams being so well put together I still think its an even match up because...Joe Burrow Either way I'm excited and just want a good game. Whoopi Goldberg...out does any of her previous statements with what I think is a fireable offense but has only led to a suspension. I have mixed feelings but am glad there's at least a suspension because denying race played a part in the holocaust is unequivocally horrible and wrong. What are your thoughts?
