We're back. Listen, this isn't a very structured episode, but we move. We're embracing the chaos tonight.
In this episode, the boys rant about what's been going on locally, nationally, and within the prisons of our own psyches. Sundance, 401ks, tarrifs, White Lotus Season 3. We've got it all.
Note from me, Kyle: sorry for doing something loud with my voice at one point. Not sure what to classify it, but "yelling" didn't seem to fully capture what happened. You tell me.
We're going to the Bernie and AOC rally at the U this weekend. If you wanna link up before, after, or during, let us know via DM or whatever other method you may see fit.
You can RSVP for the event here.
PEACE AND LOVE, BABY

#170 – Brigham’s Bombshell w/ Taylor Barnes
BYM, baby. This week, Greg interviews Taylor Barnes, a field reporter with Ink Stick Media who focuses on military affairs and the defense industry.
In her work, she uncovered a connection about how the LDS Church, known for its humanitarian focus, has quietly invested in defense giant Northrop Grumman through its multibillion-dollar fund, Ensign Peak Advisors. Greg is here to talk to Taylor about that reporting.
You can find Taylor's excellent piece here:

#168 – Solidarity on the Mountain w/ Park City Ski Patrol Union
So this is the new year. And I know a lot of things don't feel any different. And honestly, a lot of things have gotten worse.
But not with this episode. No chance. In this one, Kyle and Greg interview Joe and Tate from the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association, a union of ski patrollers that work at Park City Mountain Resort that was able to successfully pressure Vail Resorts (the corporation) into coming to the table to negotiate a new contract. We catch up with the two of them to discuss what got them into ski patrolling, the contract dispute they've been in with Vail for a year, and what it's like to go on strike during one of the biggest weeks of the year for the company and the resort.
This saga with the PC Ski Patrollers and Vail has shown the benefit of unions and the power of solidarity. Things we love to see!
