Who's Really Privileged? Moni/Ali Throw Down Feb 28, 2020

Show notes

Monica and her daughter Ali's spirited discussion on class. And not the kind we refer to by manners and upbringing. The Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act is on the table, and there's a difference between lynching and murder. What is CIS?! The two of them really get in to it on pronoun preference, and Monica asks, "What are you going to tell my grandchildren about all the confusion that's gone mainstream?" And following up on Ali's consternation about landing a job - the career breakthrough that shores up a talent she displayed as a child!

Who's Afraid of the Corona Virus Feb 27, 2020

Show notes

Monica peels back the worldwide concern over a pathogen that has no treatment, no vaccine, and lots of fear attached to it. Here's the key to getting on with our lives despite the upset in the world. Also, it's about time that Congress did something about the egregious crime of lynching.

Call to Aid a Patriot's Widow Feb 25, 2020

Show notes

Monica's call to help a former Army Ranger's widow in a time of need. Because of the way he died saving another's life in a skydiving accident, she has no life insurance for herself or their two daughters. See the MoniMatthews Facebook page for info. And the political family feud in a NW Georgia congressional race that's leaving an unjustified stink around what should have been an honorable send off for a hero and a stain on what many are calling the Year of the Woman in politics.

Doug Collins, End of Cuffing Season, More - Moni & Ali Feb 21, 2020

Show notes

Two part podcast for you here. Part 1, Monica runs solo on Congressman Doug Collins saying, "Thanks but no thanks" to a cabinet post, staying in the US Senate race; movies that scared you into avoiding scary movies; and with daughter Ali, how to let your temp know that "cuffing season" is over. Hilarious! Oh, and the "I'm Thinking Of You" Bluetooth bracelets that are so sweet and can be...er...embarrassing.

Riffing on the news of the day, Monica breaks down (or breaks up) the Democrats' Las Vegas debate; the problem she has with bills like the one that would regulate vaping in Georgia (where ARE you, parents?); and the 100's of Twitter followers who answer, "What movie traumatized you as a kid?" REAAAAAAAGANNNNN!

Wow, it's a news-rich environment for Monica's hilarious podcast today. Who benefited from the President's clemency spree and how do I get one; what makes ATL a Top 5 sinful city (jealousy!); and the suburban nightclub busted for what seemed like a good idea at the time -- put a bed on the dance floor on Valentine's Day for kama sutra night. WHAT?!

There's a lot going on here today. If you've followed Monica for more than a minute, you know she's passionate about protecting children from predators. Here, she makes the case that the Boy Scouts of America declaring bankruptcy lets them off easy. What should be done to hold predators responsible. Plus an update on the Airline Seatback War--the woman should consider a lawsuit. Also how to deal with the grief she is feeling over the sudden death of a friend and her call to action to conservatives on how to deal with Twitter discrimination.

Taking Sides In The Airline Seatback War Feb 17, 2020

Show notes

Monica jumps in to the airline controversy that's sparked outrage; the video that shows a guy pounding on the back of a woman's seat who dared to recline. What is the matter with us? And the 60 year old woman show who called in to describe what really happened when a perp dragged her 80 year old mother off a scooter and threw her on the floor of a local grocery.

Cursed by a Great Potential - Job Market Reality Check Feb 14, 2020

Show notes

Monica and her daughter Ali get honest about the difficulty of finding a job, even when you're told the economy is booming. How it feels to be the victim of "corporate ghosting" during the interview process. And a bigger lesson: taking your inherent value you learned as a child with you to the work place--you'll be much happier and your employer will be even happier they hired you. (Once they find you!)
