Amber and Ed are rejoined by Lakota Sioux comedian Jana Schmieding to talk more from the Indigenous peoples perspective. In PT 2 we discuss the different tools of colonization that tribes endure: food deserts, no sovereignty for the reservations, and lack of native representation in media. Persevering through the systematic oppression there is still a brighter side, the indigenous people thrive; tribal languages are reincarnated and they rebuild their traditions.

We all get them, you'd be even crazier than you are now if you didn't get them. But not every negative emotion is always a bad one. Sometimes it's a defense mechanism, sometimes it's very much deserved, and other times you're just a dick.
Joining Amber and Ed this week is Nick Turner, The Queen of LPN Jackie Zebrowski, and my beautiful fiancé Miss Julie Rosing. Listen as they tackle such Bad Emotions as Insecurity, Cockiness, Being Judgmental, and Being Sensitive. Ok maybe they're more personality traits than emotions. What do you want from us?
Also we wrap up the show we talk about our good buddy Jason Saenz, who needs some help right now. Here is a link to his GoFundMe.

Disneyland is a wonderful place where children's dreams come true. For a price. We all know going to Disney or any theme park ain't cheap, but if everything is so expensive, why do they pay their employees so little? Is the happiest place on Earth, making people poor?

Out of every race on Earth no one has had it as hard as The Native Americans. They received maybe the worst genocide this world has ever seen, yet they still have resolve, honor, and respect. Let's examine what has happened to these people.

Joining Amber and Ed is Lakota Sioux comedian Jana Schmieding.

I know that sometimes when you see a pretty gal walking down the street you just want to scream at the top of your lungs, "Smile! You big breasted, baby, let me buy you a soda. And then after soda we bump butts." Sure it's satisfying, but it also scares the shit out of women and makes them not want to leave the house. Is that what you want? All of outdoors without beautiful ladies. Of course not. That's why we have to act now, or maybe just shut the fuck up now.

Sometimes inspiration comes from the oddest places. Cave Comedy Radio Ambassador Lupe Rodriguez reached out about doing an episode that dived into his battles with depression. He committed himself so many times, he lost count. Why? Because he's committed to looking on the Brighter Side.
