Seasoned & Unfiltered

Why does the left lane bring out the worst in people?

And why does politics bring out even more?

In this episode of Seasoned & Unfiltered, Steveo starts with something we all deal with — highway frustration. Left-lane campers. Tailgaters. HOV violators. Double white line crossers. The everyday driving behavior that turns otherwise reasonable adults into blood pressure statistics.

But then the conversation shifts.

From traffic laws to something much bigger:

Was Donald Trump “chosen by God” to lead?
Why do some pastors believe his presidency was divinely appointed?
What happened during the 2017 inauguration involving spiritual opposition?
And what role does faith play in American politics today?

This episode explores:

• Highway driving etiquette and road rage triggers
• HOV lane laws and double white line violations
• Texas traffic rules and Federal Highway Administration guidelines
• The intersection of religion and politics
• Claims of divine appointment in leadership
• The role of faith leaders like Franklin Graham and Pastor Otho Turnbull
• Christian perspectives on governance
• Forgiveness, imperfection, and biblical parallels

You don’t have to agree with everything said here.

But you should think about it.

Because whether it’s traffic laws or political leadership — ignoring the rules has consequences.
