Upstream With Cashill & Edge

“The Hunt.”  It’s a Jack Cashill co-written book which involves a father and two sons thwarting a terrorist plot while elk hunting.  But now you can help create the sequel called “Skeleton Crew” The premise is that everyone who got the COVID vaccine dies, leaving mainly the unvaccinated rural/working class population and military personnel alive.  Are these leftovers capable of re-building society?  You may have a word in how the story ends and if the good guys win.  

Welcome to America, the new Banana Republic.  Thanks to what we call banana republicans in Washington, we shudder as they fail to stand up for conservative principles and the Constitution in exchange for a comfortable lobbying job or pensions.  In the meantime…Democrats have an active agenda and the banana republicans offer no real opposition. 

There they are…the somewhat faded COEXIST bumper stickers.  Do they now represent false unity and moral relativism by different groups who will probably be battling it out at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in a fight over which group is the most marginalized?  Buckle up, there’s so much more to talk about!

Let’s talk about DARVO (Deny, Accuse, Reverse Victim and Oppressor).  A tactic seen in personal and political spheres. We’ll travel up and down the political spectrum discussing who DARVO’s and who doesn’t.  The list is long and I’m sure you’ll hear your favorite names mentioned. 

In this episode, they dive into the world of golf, proposing to explore what golf tells us about America, beyond mere golf stories. Calling golf a meritocracy, they admire its individualism and anti-collectivism, comparing professional golfers to entrepreneurs. They lament the politicization of sports and society's shift towards ephemeral issues, contrasting it with golf's enduring values.  They reflect on golf's unique position as a sport and metaphor for life's challenges and triumphs. From Hootie Johnson to Tiger Woods you’ll never look at the game the same way again. 

Stop the world we want to get off….why?  Daylight Savings Time. The world has gone crazy with this multiple resetting of clocks phenomenon. Our hosts argue that such policies, including Daylight Savings, stem from progressive-era movements that introduced major amendments and societal changes. They discuss how these impositions reflect a broader trend of government control, touching upon related topics like climate change narratives and technological dependence.  What time is it anyway?

Subsidiarity, subsidiarity, subsidiarity.  Say the word, think the word, be the word!  We dive into the word and its meaning to everything.  Get our take on the April 2nd stadium vote plus the need for great Sheriffs, the need to show up, library problems and some worries about Purdue.  It’s all here to hear folks.  

Grab your tux! It’s the Awards show from our two Hollywood style guys.  We chat about the importance and significance of awards and winning them (if any).  We touch on awards in the sports domain and the integrity of these awards and we’ll wrap with a discussion of issues related to diversity and inclusion of these awards and why this year’s Oscars will be different. Your limo is waiting…

Buckle up.  We’ve got a lot to say about guys freezing in the backyard, the Chiefs celebration/shooting spree, the “just like every other city” downtown ballpark and the old “bread and circuses” routine.  Let’s just get a bunch of stuff off our chests!

In this episode we discuss societal and cultural changes considering the influence of traditional TV sitcoms on the public's perception, evolving language trends, and the effect woke culture has had on media institutions.  We chat about societal attitudes towards physical appearance, especially obesity, and discuss the overuse of the term "Black Swan".  We conclude with reflections on recent social movements, such as Black Lives Matter, and our belief that these movements might now be on a downward trend. Thanks for listening.
