Welcome to my section of the internet. You can find more information about my social enterprises, former radio shows, and podcasts.
Willem Dafoe is an acclaimed actor, but how do his acting chops translate to sketch comedy? We have some opinions. Plus, we talk about Ben's current SNL crush, why the political sketches aren't landing, Aidy Bryant and Bowen Yang's Weekend Update bit that may or may not have already been done in a previous generation of the show.
On Monday's SOUND OFF, we talked about the recently passed Indiana House Bill 1134. It is legislation that provides more regulation of local schools, including creating mandatory Curricular Materials Advisory Committees for each school district. It also regulates how educators teach about race, history, and social-emotional learning. The bill is now in the Indiana Senate. Our listeners gave their thoughts about whether they liked or didn't like the legislation.
Many of us want a fresh start at the beginning of the year. So, in the first month of 2022, spend a few weeks thinking about better ways to manage the rest of the year. Join us on Sundays at 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM online and in-person for a new sermon series, “RESET: A Fresh Start to a New Year.”
In this episode of SOUND OFF, we talk about the proposed Local Income Tax (LIT) increase for LaPorte County. The proposal would raise the LIT from 0.95% to 1.45% and include necessary money to raise wages for emergency services (police, fire, EMS, etc.) Some listeners believe providing a better salary for first responders is essential, but the county and city governments should find other avenues for revenue rather than raising taxes on citizens. Some believed that the corporate tax rate shouldn't be lowered in Indiana as proposed and instead be used to help fund police and fire departments throughout the state. However, many believe that the LIT increase is necessary. Listen to the full episode to hear more about what SOUND OFF listeners believe should happen.
Will Forte is back at Saturday Night Live! And, he brought MacGruber with him. In this episode of the Ten to One Podcast, Brad, Ben, and Nate recap the latest SNL episode with Will Forte, including discussing their favorite sketches and performer.
