Jason Gunn, aka Gunner, moved to Arizona from the cold nether regions of New York in 2006. After spending his formative years working as a hydro-ceramic technician (dishwasher) for a small-time bistro in the port city of Oswego, Gunner found himself at the Culinary Institute of America and later working for one of the largest Foodservice distribution companies in the country.

Since then, he married his high-school sweetheart and continues to balance his corporate life with creative outlets like short fiction writing, playing video games, and bull-shitting with his friends. He has a love for good Scotch, cheap cigars, and great conversations. While his depth of knowledge pales compared to that of Taylor, Gunner can talk about everything from silly pictures on Reddit to the complexities of global economics and international terrorism.

So what qualifies this chef-turned-corporate monkey to host a podcast that claims to be the authority on the absurd and interesting? Absolutely nothing. He does however have the know-how to build a website and get a podcast into the universe. Coupled with a knack for injecting a well-timed joke into the conversation, he’s leveraging his co-host’s mania for trolling the internet for all things politically, economically, and theoretically interesting to put on a show that promises to enlighten and entertain.
