We're blasting, fucking headfirst into the frustrations of modern healthcare. Let me tell you, its legit a scam. From the absurd cost of dental care, which makes no sense anymore. To the corporate greed of Big Pharma. Asking the question when did dental work start costing more than a car payment? And, don’t even get us started on the CEOs, once got murdered. Who on earth would want to be a CEO of a health insurance company.

It’s not all heavy, not going to lie it kind of is. We kinda sorta lighten the mood with a dive into the benefits of supplements. Our love-hate relationship with caffeine alternatives. Lets be hon est, coffee can be liquid "crack" in some cases. Why you need one of Karissa's candles at:

I had the pleasure to talk with Jeff Niebuhr and Heath Cobb. The duo behind underground band "Hecojeni". These guys go way back, we’re talking college days in the late 80s. Back then they where part of The Chillbumps, a band that rocked the Southeast. Life took them in completely different directions. Heath served in the Marines, including tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. While Jeff built a career in corporate America, and explored solo music projects. Now, after decades apart, they’ve reunited to create music that’s raw, real, and genre-defying.

Diving head first into their journey of reconnecting, and reinventing their sound. They shared stories from their past. Like how they started collaborating after all these years. To how their life experiences have shaped the songs they’re making now. It’s a conversation about resilience mixed with creativity. Finding the kind of friendship that stands the test of time.

Man, do you remember the days when Gerber baby food handed out free engraved spoons? No? Well, get ready for a nostalgic trip into the weird and wonderful world of 90s marketing gimmicks. This week, we go down memory lane. From Gerber's silver spoons, to Marlboro's reward programs. That made you wonder if smoking could win you a computer. It's a chaotic ride of odd cultural taboos, with an added twist. Sprinkled with Karissa's thoughts on Ethan Hawke, Emma Stone acting at another level. Karissa still has Gerber baby spoon, to this day fyi.

But it’s not all nostalgia and laughs. We also dive deep into reflections on life’s struggles. From job frustrations to finding those fleeting moments of joy. Like the peace of cooking or the occasional spa day. With a dash of existential musings, and a pinch of absurdity. We bring you another unfiltered, stoner-style sesh that’s as relatable as it is ridiculous. So light one up, kick back, for the ultimate high.

The host of American groove is Karissa Andrews. A licensed aesthetician, makeup artist and lover of pugs. The best part is that you can check out her work on Instagram:
