The East West Grind

Today’s episode is brought to you by me! When I started this podcast, I started it to help pull me out of a dark place. And I made a commitment to myself - whatever the content, I gotta keep it real, man! Because that's how you get through. You gotta keep it real. So, I committed to not selling out my vision of bringing truth to the overworked and underpaid American working class, just like myself, and I committed to speaking truth to power and to communicate that message - however bad or good on both sides. Truth. In this episode, I am catching you up on the past 3 and a half weeks that I took off. I spend this episode covering updates on my personal life and political headlines. Some of the topics in this episode may seem like old news, but I still have my opinions on them that I want to share. Throughout this episode, I talk about the thoughts that each political party has about each other, provide my answers to emails I was sent during my break, Mayor Breed’s COVID violations, JD Vance, and so much more. After this episode, I will be going on a podcasting hiatus in order to take time to prioritize my health and get it back on track. Tune in to this episode to soak up the last bit of the raw, real, and unfiltered East West Grind for a while!In This Episode You Will Learn:What the Republicans and Democrats think of each other (6:33)My answers to recent emails (15:05)My thoughts on JD Vance (33:48)Who the Asshole of the Week is (45:39)Resources Mentioned: Article - Trump appoints former Ohio truck driver to USDA positionArticle - Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19Article - List of Selected Multistate Foodborne Outbreak InvestigationsArticle - ​​They lived paycheck to paycheck before the pandemic.
