In this episode “Chunks” (LtCol Keith Phillip) and I are back in studio for the first time since our inaugural episode. Chunks gives his thoughts on the show so far and what he thinks of my early efforts. We talk at length about where we think The Ready Room is headed and how that matches our earliest ideas for the show. We discuss society’s rapid shift toward a new normal, and talk openly about what that means from our own perspective. Both of us ponder whether it’s possible to have a show that tries to remain apolitical, while also remaining personally genuine. Our introspection leads us to a re-affirmation of our Mission Statement. I drink a 16-year-old single malt at 1100 in the morning, and Chunks’ daughter calls him “Emo”.
