Punk rock soda pop

Strap in this week as I set the record straight on political correctness (hint: family guy and south park are politically incorrect...weaponizing that term to defend your bigoted world views does not count). You also get to listen to me salivate over, and enjoy, some delicious beer from my friends over at Rocket Frog Brewing Company.

OH and we play some dope tunes from the likes of Rise Against, Violent Soho, Propagandhi, The Vandals, Dead Kennedys, Curtis Mayfield and more. Go checks it out, NOW:
