  • Episode 17 | “One More Chance”
    With Alex away handling some business, Brian, Joe and Ant are joined by one of our previous guests, Cia, to give you this week’s podcast.
    Recorded on the evening of May 21, the guys took this opportunity to wish the Notorious B.I.G. a happy birthday while reflecting on his classic rap albums. Speaking of rap albums, the guys take time to salute DJ Khaled for dropping one of his best albums to date with “Father of Asahd.”
    After the music discussions, the tone of the podcast takes a turn when the topics of the piss poor sexual consent laws in North Carolina are discussed and the unconscionable Alabama Abortion Law is addressed.
    After discussing such heavy topics the guys speak on Black billionaire Robert Smith’s epic gesture of paying off the student loans of all of the Morehouse 2019 graduating class as well as NFL and NBA sports talk.
    We really missed Alex this week, but we feel like we held it down in his absence. Don’t worry, he’ll be back next week.

    The fellas started off stating how they felt about the backlash Ayesha Curry has been receiving since she stated that she secretly crazes outside attention from men to boost her ego.
    They then move on to Meagan Good’s recent statements about how judgmental Christians can be. Since Meagan is a sex symbol married to a Christian minister we can imagine the kind of energy her and her husband have received at times.
    The guys also cover Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib being attacked for her views on Israel, actress Felicity Huffman pleading guilty in her college scandal case and Alyssa Milano’s poorly conceived sex strike to protest recent anti abortion legislation.
    A few other topics are tackled and even in the middle of their NBA talk, the breaking news of the Alabama abortion legislation being signed into law was addressed.
