Supper Talk - Episode 18 (From Grenada to Grey Goose: What Makes a Life Worth Living?)

Written By Chris Bentley

This week, Chris and Steve swap the news cycle for stories that actually shaped them. From Steve’s firsthand account of the 1983 Grenada rescue mission to Chris’s slow-burn love affair with whiskey, this episode is a winding walk through memory, meaning, and the messy idea of progress.

They touch on:

  • Why some nonprofits collapse under their own purity

  • Why Mars might be Musk’s ego playground (and why Chris still wants to go)

  • The cultural roots of cinnamon toast, Pop-Tarts, and the Black church

  • And what the Pope, Elon, and ectogenesis have in common (spoiler: hubris)

It’s personal, philosophical, and a bit absurd—as always.

This marks the end of Season 1. Supper Talk will return mid-July after a short seasonal break. If you’ve loved the show, send it to a friend who needs help having hard conversations—without losing their humanity.
