À propos de cet audio

Dinner, Dialogue & Debate
Welcome to Plate & Ponder — where a longtime married couple, now proud empty nesters looking for a highly constructive way to occupy our time, pour a glass of wine, share a meal, and tackle the biggest stories shaping our world. She's an inner-city charter school director, elected official, and former school board president. He’s a media executive, professor, and author. Together, they bring decades of parenting, public service, politics, and purpose to the table.
From the joys and growing pains of an empty house to the cultural and geopolitical headlines you can’t ignore, this is a candid kitchen-table conversation that’s equal parts heart, humor, and hard truths.
Unscripted. Unfiltered. Unapologetically curious. Pull up a chair — dinner is served.

  • PLATE & PONDER - "Super Bowl Halftime Episode w/ Bad Bunny, Brodkins, & Brady"
    Feb 9 2026

    We'll make it fast, so we can get back to the second half... but Jen and I joined up with the Phil & Katie Brodkin to broadcast live from a luxury box high above the field... providing an alternative to the various other halftime shows occurring during America's Favorite and Most-Watched Game - THE SUPER BOWL!

    Yeah, we talk about our favorite plays during the first half, our favorite dances during Bad Bunny's (and Kid Rock's) performance(s), our favorite celebrity commercials, our least favorites, our favorite conspiracy (Jeffrey Epstein), our favorite game earlier (Rhodes Lacrosse and Dash Seiffer), our favorite rec coaches of yesteryear (Phil Brodkin and Chip Hackley), our favorite college Volleyball players (Zach & Andrew Chapin), our favorite 51st state (Canada), our favorite Club Lacrosse parents (the Silvas, the Straders, etc.), and SO MUCH MORE....

    Enjoy, and let's all hope the second half is better than the first!

  • PLATE & PONDER - "Bitcoin Bonanza, Dairy Queen Dreams, & Doggy Day Care"
    Feb 6 2026

    Oh my... the world seems to be spiraling, but we just continue to plate... and ponder... And yes, our daughter wants more care packages, and our son, when booking his flight back to LA for Spring Break with 5 of his friends... decided to take multiple layovers in order to find the absolute BEST AIRPORT BARS!

    But that's not even the serious subjects... What are, you ask? Well:

    1 - Putting a Dairy Queen walk-up in downtown Manhattan Beach... where, most importantly, the smallest size to order is a medium, and it has to be an Oreo Cookie Blizzard.

    2 - Chris's retirement MUST include a Walmart style greeter, full-time job, entertaining dogs at Healthy Spot Doggy Day Care... And yes, he has songs he has been writing for those pups too....

    3 - And 3, whats gives with BITCOIN. WE TALK BITCOIN AND A LOT OF IT. And, most importantly how distrust in the system led to BITCOIN'S Bonanza, but also, when it was revealed Jeffrey Epstein was partially behind Bitcoin, it caused the faith in the block-chain governed asset to wane... and wane super fast!

    WE ARE PLATE AND PONDER! Please follow, download, enjoy, and review... Til next time, have a BLIZZARD and pet a dog!

  • PLATE & PONDER - "Grammys Fashion, Jeffrey Epstein, & Reddit for AI Agents"
    Feb 3 2026

    Oh boy... Oh Boy, does Chris want to talk about all things Jeffrey Epstein... The most symbolic figurehead and instigator of the America's populist movement -- on both the right and the left! Epstein personifies the complete breakdown of confidence by the masses in our financial, judicial, and government system...

    And all we continue to learn about Epstein continues to foster more and more distrust and skepticism, as well as make those with Tin Foil Hats more emboldened and accurate (as crazy as that sounds)!

    Yes, we do Plate & Ponder serious subjects over dinner, so HANG ON... Epstein is just one of those topics. The other, is MOLTBOOK.... AI AGENTS ON THEIR OWN REDDIT. Heard about it yet? No? Well you will? And this is only the beginning...

    And, of course we hit on the outfits (or lack thereof) at the Grammys and the fact that our son is coming with 5 of his lacrosse teammates to Manhattan Beach for Spring Break! Yippee!

    Enjoy, and thank you Romania for joining our fanbase of international markets! Til Next time....
