5 Great Questions | The PodcastEpisode 6 | Sasha StoneBorn in Southern California towards the end of the hippy era, Sasha had a bit of a cliched life growing up in Topanga Canyon in the 1970's. Free sex, free drugs, and a single mother with a revolving door of boyfriends,Sasha found her salvation in movies, eventually leading to a self-started career begun in the early days of the internet, with the popular Academy Award prediction site 'Oscar Watch' (now Awards Daily), a successful site valued by Hollywood studios and publicists.A lifelong liberal, Sasha grew up like so many children of baby boomers, assuming and KNOWING that the Republicans were the bad guys. Full of bad people and bad policies. All bad.Until the summer of 2020.The hypocrisy of the covid panic - so strangely discarded when the George Floyd protest riots were deemed more important than safety during a global pandemic - was her Red-Pill moment. You can hear the full story in many of her great podcasts (link below).Sasha and I both found solace during the pandemic via the 1997 prophetic book The Fourth Turning by Strauss & Howe. Although I'm a lifetime center-right independent I soon found that neither political party could be counted on for the truth, a very unsettling realization.Our shared California backgrounds and love of movies led to many online conversations and we decided it was finally time to meet, if only by audio.Hope you enjoy this casual interview.Follow Sasha at https://substack.com/@sashastoneWatch Sasha's early life on Netflix by David Fincher:https://www.netflix.com/title/80990130Alden on Substack at https://substack.com/@aldeno?Watch Alden's BMX Doc on Prime: https://www.amazon.com/30-Bikes-Story-Homestead-Bicycles/dp/B09J2PJXRT

They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit Newsflash Spenser Walsh Newsflash, hosted by Spenser Walsh is a progressive political podcast dedicated to exposing the truth about the world we live in today, through the use of great journalism, analysis and opinion from experts on the day's news.
