Operative Glass Blower Jerry Bedor (MyDoods, Rust Belt Glass) joins the Fat Woke Boyz to discuss his hatred of the stigma of being a professional artist. Jerry got in the game to make money, and his moves reflect that. The trio discuss the perils of online promotion and the beast that you need to feed in order to be seen. They also move into conspiracies, what happens when your friends become customers and what actually constitutes stealing as opposed to being inspired by something. Jerry also talks about his studio catching fire, his time with The Melt Mob and of course, the substance that gets you demonetized but people still try to sell it on IG. Learn more about the glass business than you ever thought you'd know from a veteran whose wares are everywhere.

Comedian Justin Palko joins the Fat Woke Boyz to discuss his hatred of 12 step programs. All three people on this podcast have experience with 12 step programs be they AA or NA. Justin doesn't appreciate the exclusionary nature of 12 step programs - it's either their way or the highway. We discuss the rehab to working at a rehab pipeline, the 13th step, go over our favorite sobriety cliches and talk about how the process of tearing you down so that your only solution is to put your life in the hands of the AA egregore is stupid and the success rate doesn't justify it. Jeremy is 9 years clean and sober, Jordan is under a year, Justin is 2 years clean at the time of recording, and none of them go to meetings. We also discuss Jordan and Justin's time spent in rehab, kids being scared straight in rehab and our favorite old timers and meeting celebrities. You can find Justin all over Cleveland and as a regular on Roast Battle Cleveland where he had the number 3 ranked battle in the world week 2 of RBL Live this season.

Comedian Bill Squire joins the Fat Woke Boyz to discuss his hatred of people who think conspiracy theorists are justified now. Rich people hiding their crimes is not a conspiracy, and you are not a genius for figuring it out. The military industrial complex churning is not a conspiracy, that's just the world. Find out what other things that just happen people attribute to their own genius instead of just having eyes. The conversation drifts towards Bill's time living in NYC, Bill's time on the radio and vengeance against cyclists. Find Bill four nights a week in Cleveland or on his YouTube channel where he's a content machine.
