In this weeks' episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan (one of them being elated from getting to participate in the No Kings II Rally) take a few minutes to talk about the No Kings II Rally... then they get into the meat and potatoes of the prior Josephine County Commissioners' meeting from 10/09/2025, because there was no Josephine County Commissioner Business meeting on 10/16.
Does Mr. Morgan make use of the C word again? Probably.
Do our Malt Liquor Socialist solve any of our Southern Oregon Community's problems? Absolutely not.

In this brief bonus episode, Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan decide to give a listen to "Commander" Chris' five-ish minute rambling at the... tribute? Sure, I guess it was a tribute... for the bigoted propagandist who would "debate" people, Charlie Kirk.
Spoiler, Chris does seem to make an inappropriate amount of what he said at this Josephine County tribute, for a Kirk, about himself.

In this episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan have their second interview. This time they question a Matt Spurlock, a local musician, an admin for the Rogue Indivisible Discussion Group on Facebook, and who is helping to support the recall petition of two Josephine County Commissioners.
Fair warning, we do end up also discussing the recent demise of a man who pushed conservative propaganda and bigotry under the guise of free speech and debate, Charlie Kirk, for a portion of this episode.

In this weeks episode Mr. Morgan and Mr. Kieffer listen to, and comment on, some of the reactions from one particular county commissioner (and his followers) regarding the recall petition since it was filed. Afterwards, our two wayward souls listen to some of the comments from the September 4th, 2025, County Commissioner Business Meeting, and then they tie it off with a brief but important update with the City of Grants Pass' grant for the low barrier homeless shelter.

After taking a couple of weeks off for life, love, and probably our general well being... Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan are back in a nearly two and a half hour episode where they listen to the Josephine County Commissioner Business Meetings for 8/14/2025 and 8/21/2025. In those meetings our hosts will discover what incompetence lies within the hearts of men... specifically the current Josephine County Commissioners. Will Blech, Barnett, and Smith finally approve the library lease and bring and end to the drama that Barnett and Smith put into motion with former Commissioner "Foreskin" West, or will the circus continue? The answer may surprise some of you... but it probably won't.
Incidentally, there is a recall petition starting in Josephine County for Barnett and Blech, and it is being submitted on the same day this episode releases. We strongly advocate for any listeners who are registered voters in Josephine County to find and sign that petition, and if anyone has the time to help out please feel free to volunteer to help with the petition. The petition HQ will be at 123 SW K Street in Grants Pass. We will share more information, including any online details, on our episode releases as we get those details. There should be an opportunity to sign the petition at the up and coming protest on Labor Day at the Josephine County Courthouse, and there will likely be tables at the Grants Pass Post Office and Saturday Market (among other locations throughout the county) on a regular basis.

We're wrapping up our first season with an extra special bonus episode in which Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan discuss a bit about themselves and why it is that this podcast exists.
Will they go over the existential meaning on life...?
No. Absolutely not. But they will talk a bit about how they became the way that they are and how this podcast has evolved over 40 episodes into what it is today..

In our 40th episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan review a video of the Josephine County Commissioners' Business Meeting from July 17th. In this video, Ron Smith shares a pretty extreme opinion, "Commmander" Christ Barnett gives a potential update to the library, and Blech gets overly defensive about some valid criticism/points that are made about him.

Our apologies for the delay in this episode's release.
In today's episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan share a laugh at a clown during a very brief Josephine County Commissioner's meeting from July 3rd, listen to some of the comments from the Grants Pass City Council meeting from July 2nd, and read and discuss an article from the Daily Courier's July 13th edition.

In this episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan have to adapt to the fact that there is no Josephine County Commissioners Business Meeting this prior week. They listen briefly to a clip from the County Commissioners' Administrative Workshop, then they move onto something that neither have done before... They check in on the Grants Pass City Council meeting. Unfortunately there wasn't one for this prior week either, but there was one from two weeks ago, and that's good enough for our hosts.
Afterwards Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan have a meandering discussion about the fun and absolutely not politically charged issue that is the Iran/Israel cease fire, and some very generic history that led those two countries (and the US) to where we are at now.
