This is just a short introduction to the show, with a little lore, and what you can and can't expect. Please feel free to reach out and touch us via the electronic email: COGB161@proton.meMonthly summary of some of the top new stories and the capitalist machinations behind the event. Also tips and tricks for living a better life through direct action.

New polling reveals who likely Georgia GOP presidential primary voters would vote for right now, and - while the big guy still leads all other options - there's a lot to decipher from the data. A new addition to the Braves' jerseys has me grousing a bit like an old timer "traditionalist." Go figure. A recent Gallup poll reveals rising anxiety and depression in American adults; my guest today - author, 'brain health coach' and counselor Leigh Richardson - is the founder

"Fulton County election integrity" as a concept dodged a bullet. Even the GOP "fox" nominated to count the eggs in the henhouse saw how awful the optics were and essentially withdrew himself after IMMENSE backlash. On that note, an op/ed at Slate.com today (rightfully) asks why the DOJ isn't investigating Trump being implicated in a vote machine theft. One of the co-authors of that op/ed - Susan Greenhaghl, joins me to discuss the implications of the Coffee County breach

Today was fun; I got to hang out with CNN producer, Kennesaw State professor & Anecdotal ATL creator & host Will Edmonds. DO follow @anecdotalATL on Instagram and/or TikTok and learn SO much Atlanta history that's not "textbook history" and get to know how it came to be and meet Will with me!

It was "the 300" (or more) mostly Atlanta citizens vs. their city council yesterday in a seven-plus hour long public comment hearing. Every person who came to speak about the proposed Atlanta police training facility spoke in opposition. Every. Single. One. I share a couple standout moments, and give this warning to Democrats: ignore this backlash locally at your party's peril, nationally. Watch as much as you can HERE and HERE. On the national level, while we await the Ron DeSantis

For nearly three hours today, midtown Atlanta was on lockdown, as yet another mass shooting took place in the heart of Atlanta. Hear instant reactions and information from Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens & police chief Darin Schierbaum. We get a recap of the situation from ⁠Donnell Suggs⁠, editor-in-chief at the ⁠Atlanta Voice,⁠ and have Rev. Senator Raphael Warnock's floor speech on the Senate floor, passionately calling for action on gun reform. Also, a savvy reporter named ⁠Kenya

On this episode, Benjamin Gorman gabs with Karen Eisenbrey, author of EGO & ENDURANCE, about Breaking Cat News, Safe Havens, Pogo, Heather Cox Richardson on the White House Correspondents Dinner, and growing easy gardens.Today’s secret word is: LithodoraFind Karen and her work here:Website: kareneisenbreywriter.com, home to my band-name blog Square Pig in a Round Hole and other good stuffhttps://kareneisenbreywriter.com/Still on Twitter for now: @

Legs was in Napa and Jody was in the Bunker. Due to Jody's little baby cat puking as the show started, Legs talked about Soccer, or so Jody thinks. Donald lies about folks crying in the NYC courthouse...and it is hilarious. NPR has quit the blue bird, and good for them. Plus much more! We hope you enjoy this week's installment. Talk at you next week!

About that town hall ... also, about Governor Brian Kemp snuffing out any notion of a special session to address gun violence. He claims Democrats were "posturing." The guy who aired a campaign ad sitting next to a teenage boy while holding a shotgun in his lap had the audacity to claim someone else was "posturing."

Local documentarian and journalist King Williams and I caught up on a Zoom to talk Cop City, MARTA, why Atlanta wasn't "it" for the DNC convention and if it's possible to generate Gen-Z & millennial enthusiasm for "Biden/Harris 2024." We're also on the same page with what the Hawks might ought to do with Trae Young. A second black trans Atlanta woman has been killed - just in the month of April. This is why we have to not allow anti-trans publicly displayed

Friday promises to be a traffic & parking nightmare in downtown Atlanta with Taylor Swift AND Janet Jackson performing at adjacent venues; so why, when the Georgia Department of Transportation is having a little fun with their song titles to warn motorists & concert-goers, did they NOT mention MARTA as an "alternative?" So now that we've had a couple days to let the "Joe's running again" news wash over us, where's the enthusiasm? Yeah, that's a problem -

Last week I noted a right wing pundit sneered at the idea that white supremacy is the nation's greatest domestic terror threat as he pointed out the ethnicity of the midtown assailant. Here's where I say "Allen and Brownsville, TX have now entered the chat." Speaking of Texas, with federal troops heading to the southern border and anti-immigrant crimes in headlines, today was a perfect day to speak with Texas immigration attorney Kate Lincoln-Golfinch. She is the Owner/CEO of

Joe's running ... and so is Marianne Williamson. She's on the show, with me, in-person tomorrow, but let's hear Joe's pitch first. Then we'll hem and haw about the arduous task his campaign will have to win over American and Democratic voters who aren't warm to his re-election bid. Heidi Mirracle, Cherokee County parent, LGBTQ+ parent, and one of the brave folks who spoke out at last week's Cherokee County School Board meeting while the board sat stone-faced & silent

Chromez & Fanatik are back again after a going on a long break. They kick it off by talking about loyalty of people in this Podcasts WhatsApp group (0:53). The duo get into a conversation about what significant things have happened in their lives since the last time they recorded an episode, Fanatik mentions the birth of his 3rd child and Chromez talks about his experience interviewing the President of the Republic of Zambia Mr. Hakainde Hichilema (3:25). They then discuss the death of South African

Ding dong, Tucker Carlson's gone; Media Matters for America's senior fellow Matt Gertz speculates - with me - what's next for Tuckums and Fox News. Don Lemon got whacked, too, and the "thing" folks are pointing to as the reason why doesn't really add up. I'll explain. So it turns out there were MULTIPLE Cherokee County residents and parents of current and former school district kids who attended their school board meeting last Thursday to look feckless Rob Rechsteiner

It might be easier to tell you what Clarence Thomas' "sugar daddy" Harlan Crow ISN'T paying on behalf of the justice and Ginni, his wife. ⁠More revelations revealed⁠; and ⁠Herschel Walker either conned a guy into being HIS "sugar daddy" too ⁠or just committed wire fraud and broke campaign finance laws. Where IS he, by the way? There's a strain of smug dismissivism on the right when it comes to the struggles of the marginalized, and a social media post two days ago

Micah Herskind is a writer & activist, and his Twitter account is one of the most thorough when it comes to the "Cop City" saga, so I had him on today to review everything we know (and what we've been lied to about) in that regard. Governor Brian Kemp's ⁠choosing to whine about what Senators Ossoff and Warnock aren't able (yet) to do⁠ - and don't need to until 2025 at the earliest - while overlooking the real danger to his EV push in Georgia: Kevin McCarthy's debt

"Southern. Gay. Teacher"⁠ author Randy Fair rejoins the show to discuss Georgia's efforts to whitewash terms like "diversity" and :inclusion" from state teacher prep jargon, plus the rise in anti-gay and anti-trans rhetoric orbiting public education. He recently wrote ⁠an eye-opening op/ed in Other Words⁠ that seems to indicate society is backsliding on treatment of LGBTQ+ teachers - and students, too. Why am I reminded of the movie "Remember the Titans?" Well

Will Atlanta local media EVER recall a Cherokee County School Board member was booted from a convention for using an anti-gay slur (f*ggot) and shouted anti-trans venom to a trans person? Well, the board meets tomorrow night, so I did a little refresh of the story, and started "at" tweeting media personalities who covered it when it was breaking news in early April but who've not covered it since. Then, it's important to note WHY I think the Supreme Court delaying the Mifepristone

Took a cheat day so you're getting a replay of the White House Correspondents' Dinner featuring President Joe Biden and The Daily Show correspondent Roy Wood Jr. Enjoy!
