Ep. 138 - Chip on Your Shoulder and Chip off the Old Block with Special Guest "Cold Mike"

Origin of Speakcies

This episode starts with Scott and Steve discussing the phrase "Chip on Your Shoulder," and the ways in which it can be a positive thing (Michael Jordan, Robert Conrad) or a negative thing (pretty much everyone else).

Next up, Steve shares some things he learned from NPR about the complexities of racist emoji use and counters with his own realization about the problematic nature of eggplant emojis, before discussing the origins of the term "Drip," in New Slang.

Next Scott explains the history behind, "Chip off the Old Block," and appropriately the guys welcome Scott's dad, aka "Big Mike" or "Cold Mike" to weigh in on the "That's What I'm Talking About" phenomenon and share some stories from his Air Force days.
