Join us for a fun-filled food and movie review (no spoilers), as the "C" and I, as well as our awesome daughter Skye review hidden gems (at least to us) Huey Magoos, Zaxby's and Raising Cane's, all excellent purveyors of the chicken tender.

We give our honest and unbiased opinion on everything from the main dish to the sides as well as our overall experience with all three.

After "shooing" our daughter from the room, we go on to review what I think was a much needed shot of adrenaline to a tired franchise, the hulu hosted movie PREY!!!

We don't pretend to know it all, but we are having fun.

With our very special guest Ms. Skye Chavez, we do a quick review of our end of summer vacation, which we spent at the Great Wolf Lodge in Concord, NC and have a little fun discussing our foray into the weird but Fabolous streets of Las Vegas.

This episode we speak with Todd and Evelyn Jordon on their life together, their joint business Taz Boards, the importance of cybersecurity both at home and within the professional work environment and Todd's connection to Hip Hop. We even get an quick impromptu recitation of one of the most complex rhyme schemes ever written performed by Evelyn "The E" Jordon.

As the intro of the episode will tell you, we provide a surface level review of measures that you should put in place and practice to protect yourself from cyber-crime and the criminals that use it. Our hope is that you will take from this episode what you will, and seek out additional help or assistance to bolster what you already know about cyber-security.

We have an in-depth discussion in this bonus episode with nurse Jewel Middleton about why she chose the nursing career field, what it takes to survive and her post COVID pandemic life today.

This episode we speak with Ontae "Big Money Grip" Lawrence about being a member of one of the most underappreciated and in some instances underpaid profession of truck driving.

He shares humorous tales of life out on the road, his motivation for becoming a driver and provides anecdotal evidence that it takes a special kind of individual to live the life of a successful driver out on the road, while providing for the family.

He also provides some career insights for those that are thinking of joining the ranks of over 3 million truckers across the United States and gives information on starting salary to options you should prioritize as non-negotiable when seeking employment with trucking companies.

This episode is purely, especially from a conversational standpoint, one that we are very proud of because of the significance of truck drivers within both of our families.

Please enjoy!
