Hey Bae, hope you are ready to get turnt up to some lit tunes! We did the 80's, we did the 90's, and then the 2000's, so the time has come to finally listen to the tunes of the 2010 decade ! The 2010's were a huge leap in the music industry with the rise of streaming services and having every song at your finger tips. The songs of the 2010s did wonders for many genres like pop, hip-hop, R&B, and saw the rise of EDM and all sorts of electronic music. We even saw more genre-blending and the breaking of traditional boundaries between categories of music. So join Tuong La and his music rankin' fam Axandre Lemours, Colleen Wang, and Victoria Luloff as they 'low-key' go 'YOLO' and bring you a Top 5 2010's list that is definitely 'on fleek'.

Tale as old as time. The stories of mythical creatures have captivated the minds and imaginations of people around the world for centuries. Part of the fascination stems from tapping into deep-seated aspects of human psychology, culture, and our universal desire for meaning and connection.

Either way we felt compelled to dive into this exciting meaty topic.

To me, my X-Men! What's there to say that hasn't already been said about the X-Men? They are easily some of comic books most recognizable teams and for good reason! Not only is it consistently telling quality stories about marginalized groups and discrimination in the form of superheroes, but it also has had a myriad of movies, video games, tv shows, and more! Now the X-Men haven't always had a home run when it comes to it's movies, but with the recent boom of the X-Men '97 TV show we'd be remiss not to talk about all the cool mutants that are in this beloved property.

Our guest in this episode is mustard and smoked-meat wizard Zane Caplansky, founder of Caplanksy's Deli & purveyor of fine mustards.

And yet, Zane is probably the most optimistic and hopeful guests we've had the pleasure of speaking with - and in the current political climate, that doesn't seem so easy to do, right?
