Mark welcomes Jonathan May and Tuffy Brandon back on the show! And an exciting and deep show it is!

Oh so much has happened. Rittenhouse has been freed. The guys in the Amhaud Arbery case are found guilty...and the focus of White people in the eye of the American justice system has been decided for now.
Andy Echele joins Mark this week to discuss many subjects and topics. First up Mark and Andy discuss the fallout from the Rittenhouse verdict. Why was it self defense? Was the Judge biased? Who benefitted from this other than Kyle Rittenhouse? Will people be able to just claim self defense now? All this is discussed and picked apart.
How different is today really from the past? Aside from social media, what about today is really different. Famous people existed in the past, so did non-famous ones. People in the world of sports today have platforms to speak out on, but they had the same ability to touch the masses in the past. Mark and Andy discuss many aspects of the past versus now and how things looked versus how they look today.
Finally there was a massacre in Waukesha, WI. Another story out of the state of Wisconsin where a man decided to run through a parade of people and kill multiples while injuring many others.

Next up...The Let's Go Brandon people are all up in arms that nobody cares about their joke. Mark and Gary discuss the "joke" and why the right is so dead set on the bad joke? Like conservative comedians, the jokes just seem to fall flat more and more.

Another exciting week on the Q. Mark Bland is joined this week by an old friend of the show and our co-host Gary Weed. The guest of the week is none other than Sam Arcobasso the head of Sarko Industries.
Sam came to us a few years back with an interesting story and has returned as a man of comfort and ease. Sarko is a company designed to put high end marketing professionals and businesses with clients looking to take their projects to the next level. Sam has been in the industry for a few years and and decided he could help businesses where others couldn't. From Hospitals to restaurants to everything in between, Sarko has been helping businesses for a while and successfully...which is what leads to the second topic.
With the ability to market to many places, Sam also wanted to start helping high school students close to graduating but needing that final credit to get the diploma. So with Sarko and including some great minds, Sam setup a HS graduation program and reached out to local schools to get it started. The students can come work like and intern for Sarko, gain their final credits and walk with their graduating class (which is a big deal for many students). Kirkwood School district has signed on and other schools are currently being talked with about the opportunity. Either way, a great way for kids to get help and learn...all this and more in the discussion about Sam's current doings.
Finally Gary, Mark and Sam discuss some world politics and stories, shortly before finding out that Sam doesn't believe in the government as a body for the people and to help the people. This turns into a discussion about political beliefs and what people should focus on rather than not focus on.
An amazing episode of the Q all primed up and ready!
