Ep.301 | The Shutdown • Detroit 2025 Mayoral Race (Mary Sheffield) • NYC Zohran Mamdani • Know Your Benefits • Things We Find on Social

Season 3 gets underway with no shortage of headlines and real-life applications. We tackle **“The Shutdown”** — what it means when public systems, institutions or expectations go dark. Then we swing into the heart of Michigan with the 2025 mayoral race in Detroit, spotlighting Mary Sheffield and the shifting political scene. From there, we jet to New York for a deep dive into Zohran Mamdani — bold, controversial, and asking “What were you thinking?” We bring back “Know Your Benefits” to make sure you’re getting what’s yours, and wrap with “Things We Find on Social” — the viral, the weird, and the telling. It’s political, practical and cultural all in one.

In this episode of The Garrison House Podcast, the hosts bring practical wisdom and straight talk to two worlds that often collide — everyday life management and the chaos of modern culture.

The first half of the episode focuses on “Know Your Benefits”, an empowering segment that helps listeners understand the difference between PPOs, HMOs, HSAs, and EPOs — all explained in plain language. As open enrollment season approaches, the discussion breaks down how insurance deductibles, co-insurance, and employer matches really work, emphasizing the importance of reading your plan and calling your provider directly before making costly decisions.

Listeners are encouraged to stay informed, stay polite with customer service reps, and never leave their benefits unused. It’s practical, relatable advice for every household.

The second half — “In the Age of Outrage” — shifts gears to culture and commentary. From online debates surrounding Stephen A. Smith and Rep. Jasmine Crockett, to the broader divisions in politics and media, the hosts unpack how outrage has become a form of entertainment — and how it clouds meaningful dialogue. They reflect on faith, respect, and independent thinking, pointing out how many people have traded thoughtful discourse for groupthink and emotional reactions.

It’s part financial literacy, part social commentary, and all truth — a balanced episode that reminds us how to take charge of what’s ours, both materially and mentally, in an age where outrage often speaks louder than reason.

In Episode 240, we unpack the crossroads of politics, justice, and morality. The Michigan governor’s race between James and Gilchrist sets the stage for a larger national conversation about leadership, respect, and unity. From classrooms to police precincts to the Oval Office, we ask — what happened to honor?

Then, we turn to the reality facing Black men in America, analyzing the media’s reaction to the Diddy verdict and exploring how perception shapes punishment. Our hosts dive into whether modern sentencing should be more about teaching than tormenting — just like correcting a child, not condemning one.

And finally, in “Weird Laws,” we explore one of the strangest holdovers in American legal history — Alienation of Affection — proving that truth really is stranger than fiction.

It’s an episode that challenges, enlightens, and brings perspective to the cultural chaos of our times.

In Episode 239, we dive deep into one of the most debated rights in America—the First Amendment. Is free speech truly free, or has it become filtered through social platforms, political agendas, and cultural pressure? We break down the meaning of free expression today and explore how “the algorithm” shapes what voices get amplified—or silenced—in our digital age.

The conversation doesn’t stop there. We also turn toward the eternal, reflecting on the mysteries of The Rapture!? and how conversations of faith intersect with our everyday lives online and off.

Join us for a thought-provoking mix of constitutional debate, technology insight, and spiritual reflection that challenges how we see freedom, truth, and destiny in today’s world.
