Seasoned & Unfiltered

What should Congress hide… and what should it reveal?

In this episode of Seasoned & Unfiltered, Steveo starts with a serious question:
Why did Congress vote against releasing sexual harassment and misconduct records tied to members of the House?

House Resolution 1100 was supposed to bring transparency and accountability. Instead, it quietly disappeared back into committee — with 357 members voting to keep those records sealed.

So the obvious question becomes:

Wouldn’t we want transparency?

From there, things get a little more… unfiltered.

In the “What Can You Take?” segment, Steveo dives into the debates that somehow start more arguments than politics:

Pineapple on pizza

Is a hot dog a sandwich?

Milk first or cereal first

Ketchup on steak (seriously… why?)

Taylor Swift and reality TV

Are kids today actually softer — or just different?

And finally, the episode wraps with another “Remember Back When” segment — a nostalgic look at growing up before smartphones, social media, and streaming.

Banana seat bicycles.
Rotary phones.
Saturday morning cartoons.
Blockbuster movie rentals.
Rubik’s Cubes.
Big hair and Aquanet.

Different times.
Different pace.
But maybe a few lessons worth remembering.

No scripts.
No talking points.
Just experience, opinions, and conversation — seasoned by life and served unfiltered.
