Warning: Your Coffee, Water, and Soup Alare Out To Get You | 1/9/26

You drink it every day without thinking. Coffee cups, bottled water, and canned soup may be quietly exposing you to microplastics, BPA, and forever chemicals. This is not panic. It is documented.

In this episode of At The Mic: Friday Happy Hour, Keith Malinak is joined by Brad Staggs, Rebecca Mistereggen, and Kelly Smith for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from food safety to politics, culture, and the strange patterns of modern life. From Epstein files and vaccine fallout to stock market anxiety and human behavior, nothing stays in one lane for long.

Humor becomes the survival tool. Curiosity becomes the compass. Certainty quietly leaves the room. This is not a debate or a lecture. It is a late-night conversation where serious questions collide with absurd reality.

Trust nothing. Question everything. And maybe rethink what is in your pantry.
