In this companion show to Episode 8 I interview a former long time resident of Ybor City and get her recollections of growing up in Ybor and her stories of the Mafia influence that was present but did not affect her in the way you may expect.
NOTE: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you listen to EPISODE 8 first so you know the background of the people that are referenced in this episode.
Fox News, CNN and MSNBC - No matter what you watch just know that there are hundreds of millions of dollars being made off the polarization of our politics. In this episode I discuss this era of cable news and warn to keep the business side of the news in mind when consuming media.
I bring back my guest from the first episode of the show Chad Casey of the Sports Car Unleashed Podcast.
Chad and I discuss the quarterbacks of our favorite NFL teams. Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston.
These two QB’s are very different but have faced many of the same challenges that have stunted their growth.
Titans super fan Chad breaks down the career of Marcus Mariota and I do the same for Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston.
Is Mariota injury prone ? Can Winston ever cut down on turnovers?
These questions and more are discussed plus we give our thoughts on if either QB will be the franchise quarterbacks they were drafted to be.
I discuss a brief history of Netflix leading up to the Bird Box phenomenon and I review the latest Sandra Bullock film also starring John Malkovich.
