Über diesen Titel

 The “Um, Sir” Podcast, where Emily in Everett and her neighbor Samie attempt to defend democracy here in Washington while popping egos and deflating arrogance in a dude’s domain. They talk about pop culture, politics, and how the two collide and affect you. Join them for candid conversation, nervous laughter, and bad words as they offer solutions for crushing your imposter syndrome and putting your money where your mouth is. They don’t know all the answers, but they'll give you the feedback you didn’t know you needed.EmilyInEverett and her Neighbor, Samie Politik & Regierungen Sozialwissenschaften

  • Um, Civics: The System Is Designed to Kill Your Bill

    Um, Civics: The System Is Designed to Kill Your Bill
    Jan 21 2026

    Emily walks Ashley (and all of us) through how a bill actually becomes law in Washington. Spoiler: it’s messy, slow, and absolutely designed to kill your idea. Using the fictional Rhythm Reduction Act (RIP dancing), they break down committees, sponsors, lobbyists, hearings, caucuses, companion bills, and why a 60-day session turns everyone feral. Along the way: dinosaurs, pickleball, Bic pens, why the minority party controls the clock, and a reminder that democracy is less Schoolhouse Rock and more group project with deadlines and vibes.

  • Tragic Optimism & Costco Receipts

    Tragic Optimism & Costco Receipts
    Jan 14 2026
    In this messy New Year’s edition of Um, Sir Podcast, Emily holds down the mic solo and rings in the new year with Everett real estate powerhouse Ashley Bolden for a raw, wide-ranging conversation that spirals exactly where it needs to. From Costco sticker shock and the true cost of living, to housing affordability, civil liberties, nihilism vs. hope, and whether West Virginia is a secret real-estate opportunity or an absolute no. Nothing is off the table. Along the way, Emily confidently misquotes several philosophers, attributes at least one quote to the wrong person, then powers through anyway, proving once again that vibes > citations. This is a New Year check-in for anyone exhausted by late-stage capitalism but still stubbornly committed to finding meaning, community, and a way forward.CHECK OUTThe Income Needed to Buy a Home in 2025 - Post Referenced, FacebookThe Snohomish Podcast NetworkEverett Recovery Café (community recovery & mutual aid model)Everett Rotary Club LISTENUm, Sir PodcastNeighbor-ish: Building Community Through Homeownership (and Renting, Too) - the At-Homish PodcastBrene Brown on Comparative SufferingWATCHAlone (Reality Survival) ShowBroad City, The Florida Sun - Comedy Central READBroad City, S04E07 "Florida" Discussion Thread - RedditMan's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl - by Max Gravenstein, Medium'Tragic optimism': The antidote to toxic positivity - Allie Volpe, BBCAffordability and Homebuilding: State-by-State Report Cards - Realtor.comFreedom in the 50 States: An Index of Personal and Economic Freedom - CATO InstituteMargaret Mead’s work and quotes on collective action - GoodreadsWest Virginia health care ranked worst in the nation - Ellen Allen, West Virginia WatchPieces on burnout, nihilism, and resilience in political organizingBUY.

  • Stadiums, Soccer & Late-Stage Capitalism

    Stadiums, Soccer & Late-Stage Capitalism
    Jan 7 2026

    Keith Macaulay joins Emily in Everett for a wide-ranging, slightly unhinged (in a good way) conversation about sports, money, vibes, and why fan culture actually matters. From soccer chants and Mariners loyalty to NIL chaos, stadium politics, FIFA corruption, and the economics behind who wins (and who tanks), this episode connects the dots between sports, power, and civic life with strong opinions, petty moments, and plenty of sir sass.
