What's up everybody...this is once again The Toasty Podcast. I'm tired of trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up and I loved what I did with the first podcast so here we are. I guess you'll just have to join me on the ride up the ladder again as I talk with guests from all different backgrounds to try to get a better grasp of the political landscape in Fort Worth, in Texas, and beyond. Let's get Toasty!

Within a week we've had some pretty big stories crack the surface and I must say I'm impressed with the citizens of America right now. I'm also impressed with Fort Worth PD for the one incident I bring up in todays episode.

Ya'll enjoy and S T A Y T O A S T Y

During the video I was trying to bring up Blaire White and I failed miserably. Apologies to her and everyone watching. Everything I brought up in todays episode is my own opinion coupled with news articles found by an easy Google search if you'd like to 'check my work'

Comment below to tell me what you really think, yes I'm serious.

I want you guys to know no matter what a study says or other people may tell you; you should look inside yourself and get to the bottom of your feelings because otherwise you might be kidding yourself that you're happy. And if you're unhappy, seek out things that might help. Not food or things to buy - but a spiritual practice, a gym and the people that surround you. Cheers!

I'm just trying to get back to the basics so I'm going to post whatever I talk about on any given subject. This go round I am making it more YouTube focused though so if you guys want the edited version of this podcast go to my YouTube channel Daily Dose with Skye. Otherwise you get all my incoherent thoughts right here on any podcast platform!

Today I talked about the federal reserve raising rates, what a basis point is, and how it relates to our previous conversation about the economy downturn being slow and why that is better than a 2008 situation. Let's look at it as a glass half full situation shall we?

Next I discuss an odd problem Harris County is having in their county elections. If you guys know more about this than I do, congratulations but also, tell me about it in the comments on the YT video or on our facebook page which btw is still Toasty Podcast because FB WON'T ALLOW ME TO CHANGE IT

I've got inside sources telling me Varsity closed abruptly, but what now? I predict something like a rebrand in the future...ya'll stay tuned in a couple months.

Have you ever wondered if there's a more entertaining reporter out there? Someone who isn't a robot and can still have a good time doing what they love? ME TOO. So I created Daily Dose with Skye. A little local and a little not-so-local to get your ball rolling in any conversation you plan on having later. Sound more informed and just overall be a better human being - listen to your daily dose. I'm sure even if you hate it you'll love it. It's kinda my thing, Cheerio!

In todays episode I let you in on a little secret I like to call "Varsity Tavern"...nah I'm kidding everyone knows what it is if you live in Fort Worth but I've got some info you might want to hear about it. Also what the heck is an RW Male? Here's a hint: It has something to do with the Goth style or Alt style...I think. Who knows, all I know is I love talking nonsense and I hope ya'll enjoy!

Ever heard of the Bread and Circus story from Roman times? It’s a story that basically describes how Rome gave their people bread and a circus in order to keep them occupied and distracted from the terrible atrocities that Roman government was committing at the time. Sound Familiar?

We don’t always talk about products on our show because that isn’t the point for us, but when I love something, I talk about it.
