Hey Ya’ll! 

Since we’ve been gone, Irene had an amazing experience at the Made In America Festival, compliments of 360 Magazine. And Shells is navigating the tricky waters of childhood birthday party etiquette. 

ELLEN IS BACK!!! Not only is the daytime talk show back for her 13th season, Ellen also is making her rounds on the Today Show, Jimmy Fallon, Howard Stern (and some others) to promote the new season and the launch of her clothing line ED.  With a new season comes the new opportunity to make this #IreneEllenDanceBattle happen!!! Stay tuned to find out how you can help FSG make it to The Ellen DeGeneres Show by year end!  

How important is it for you to be heard? That’s what we consider in this week’s Would You Rather Question. As always we’d love to hear what you think, would you rather only whisper or only shout, that is the question! Hit us up on Facebook or Twitter @fsgpodcast #FSGWYR  

Around the water cooler this week, there’s the Apple Keynote address (and Irene’s excitement), the Freddie Gray settlement, the never ending drama that is The Patriots, Kim Davis’ lunacy, and a few random National Day of ____ to celebrate.

And then we Talk About It: Our deep seated, soul stirring, fully engulfing hatred of that wench named Sallie Mae. Our disdain is legitimate and shared by many college-educated, hard-working professionals, but it also highlights a problem with the cost of education and the loan sharks cloaked as financial “assistance”. 

Once we get that off of our chest, we wrap it up with house music in Irene’s Beats and an awesome book that’s inspiring Shells!
