We start this episode with the issues we finished off with hurricane Harvey now we are facing a closer threat with Hurricane Irma Jose and Maria.  What do you do to prepare, you thoughts on the role of government and the turmoil we live in under this new regime.

On this episode, Sean and I review an R&B vocalist and a Female rapper.  We start with these generic terms because what we found was something we did not expect from these two artist that had us splitting up the reviews into two parts. Why - well you need to take a listen to understand how artist are called Artist.  With a great touch of high shelf production.

Garganega is a variety of white Italian wine grape widely grown in the Veneto region of North East Italy, particularly in the provinces of Verona and Vicenza. It is Italy's 6th most widely planted white grape

Throughout the Soave production zone Garganega is the principal grape variety though Trebbiano di Soave and Chardonnay are permitted in varying percentages. While most Soave is dry, still wine within the DOC zone a sparkling spumante style is permitted as is the passito Recioto style, that in 1998 was granted its own Recioto di Soave DOCG designation for grapes grown in the hilly region

This second half of Hardwood & Endzones, Sean continue our conversation about the hiprocracy in sports and the way white supremacy is carried out covertly or intentionally.  Not that this has not been going on but Thanks to our love for Jemele we had to have a segment on her controversial Tweet.  You have to find humor when things seem so bleak.

On this episode, Alicia and I check out the second installment of The Kingsman: The Golden Circle.  We enjoyed the first one so much as well as a lot of other people that they made second one.   Previews show how exciting this one was going to be so we prepared for another thrill ride.

With their headquarters destroyed and the world held hostage, members of Kingsman find new allies when they discover a spy organization in the United States known as Statesman. In an adventure that tests their strength and wits, the elite secret agents from both sides of the pond band together to battle a ruthless enemy and save the day, something that's becoming a bit of a habit for Eggsy.

Alicia and I continue with our discuss with how tech companies are failing to recognized the cultural challenges that they need to address in order to have a productive diverse staff.   Google started the conversation off from the previous podcast but we speak to the general observation that is not being addressed. 

The team returns to talk about what the nation is going through when it comes to government services being reduced based on the Trumps appointments to these key positions (EPA, HLS, FEMA, NOAH,Department of Defense)  and to finish our discussion from part 1
