Karam and Paul reflect on the evolution of the Deep Homie Guide in promoting peaceful dialogue. Crypto, Israel-Palestine Conflict, Newsom vs. Jenner California recall election, NYS weed legalization, best burger in New York State (it's in Syracuse!) and what topics will be funny on stage post-Covid?

Sebastian Bharj is a jazz musician based in New Orleans.

Paul Leo Ellinger is a Cleveland-based stand-up comic, U.S. Army veteran, and aspiring pro-wrestler. In this juicy episode, the homies discuss the cancel culture wars raging in the United States, from the Dr. Seuss news to NPR's song of 2020, "W.A.P." The homies get into the rebranding of Potato Head, the MLB steroid era, the history of America, white supremacy, and the state of stand-up comedy. This episode goes hard.

With guest co-host Paul Wood! Today we are premiering a new segment called "The Ned Report," an imaginary name for that real-life person everybody knew who recommended they buy Bitcoin ten years ago. We discuss NFTs on the blockchain, which might just be a "big deal" sooner than later. We discuss modern propaganda in news, Rush Limbaugh's passing, comedian Patrice O'Neal's documentary, robot police dogs in New York City, and so much more!

Mike Heins is a wild man! A math-whiz-soon-to-be high-school math teacher, beer-brewer, future homesteader, and six-year cold shower veteran - catch Mike shoveling barefoot and shirtless in February, or taking a relaxing dip in his Syracuse, NY pool in November!

Deep Homie K interviews up-and-coming Syracuse comedian, Paul Wood. In what was supposed to be an apocryphal afternoon podcast (but has been released in this podcast's mission of full transparency) they discuss the bones of standup, growing up in the vague censorship of Christian households, and tradition vs. progress. In the evening segment, Paul talks growing up in the world of Pentecostal ministries, the death of his brother and his tragic youth experience, church as a support-system, walking in faith and becoming a local youth pastor. He tells us the turning point: the negative experiences that made him decide to forge a different path and become a comedian. Along the way, they talk pop culture, secularization, cancel culture, K's experience with speech on campus, the source of comedy, and their own experiences with laughter as healing.

In this first episode, Deep Homie K talks about the mission behind the show: discovering how we can be the best version of ourselves. Motivation, inspiration, and future trends. He introduces a life hacks segment on Tom Brady's routines, a propaganda corner segment on social cohesion and the election, and tells what leads him to this project, a 20s filled with searching for the metaphysical and spiritual "answer."
