This week, People, Politics and Pork brings you a closet-to-stormfront conversation as Greg records from rainy Nashville and Newell broadcasts from a closet in Savannah. In classic Triple P fashion, the hosts weave humor, heart, and hard truths into a free-flowing discussion on health, help, and the health of democracy itself.

The episode kicks off with a candid reminder about the importance of regular health check-ups—because taking care of yourself matters more than just taking care of your truck or your pup. From there, Greg reflects on the challenges of asking for help, sparking a deeper conversation about how childhood lessons shape adult lives.

The discussion shifts into politics, where the line between campaigning and governing comes under scrutiny. Newell draws on his experience as a community leader to highlight why understanding civics, due process, and the mechanics of government is more critical than ever.

Filled with personal stories, reflections on leadership, and a playful nod to potential sponsors like civics teachers and Guinness, this episode reminds listeners to stay curious, stay grateful, and stay engaged.

Meanwhile, Greg Webb, our modern-day Forrest Gump, adds a dash of Southern charm and a touch of showbiz flair. From Hollywood to North Alabama and back again, Greg's journey through acting, writing, and managing a flea market brings a unique blend of wit and wisdom to the mic.

This episode of People, Politics and Pork tees off with a celebration of Rory McIlroy’s inspiring win at the Masters, as Greg and Newell unpack the mental toughness it takes to overcome challenges—on the course and in life. From the green at Augusta, the conversation sprints back to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, where a record-breaking moment by Donovan Bailey and the energy of a crowd in defiance of fear still echo today.

As always, the hosts go deeper. They explore how sports shape character and community, with a nod to Dean Smith’s The Carolina Way for life lessons beyond the locker room.

But the real heat comes in the second half, where they tackle democracy, due process, and civil disagreement in today’s divided political landscape. With reflections on immigration, presidential perspectives, and what it means to be an American, the episode challenges listeners to engage in thoughtful, informed dialogue.
