Jo & Zell catch up and discuss the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, injustice for Breonna Taylor, and the emotional fatigue that so many are feeling lately.

** Disclaimer: Zell references the Russian KGB, but accidentally said "K-B-G" during this episode. He knows its "KGB"; he wants you to know that. **

Josette and Denszell change up the topic this week for a refreshing change of pace - to analyze Zell's zodiac birth chart and give him a tarot card reading. Will the planets and cards roast him? Tune in to find out. For more astrology, tarot, and spirituality content - check out Jo's other podcast, The Soul Hive Podcast!

The team discusses the "8 Can't Wait" campaign, and breaks down the stigma behind the term "DEFUND THE POLICE". Dun.. dun.. dun.......

Last week we watched the media discredit the character of the latest victim of excessive force by police, Jacob Blake, in an effort to discredit the #BLM movement. Meanwhile, Kyle Rittenhouse murdered innocent protestors, walked calmly away from police, & the media passed around photos of him cleaning off graffiti before the shooting. We discuss what actual FBI strategies from the 1960's led to this phenomenon of discrediting the black community at all costs. Jo & Zell also discuss the grief behind the passing of cultural legend, Chadwick Boseman. 

Yep. Going there. Feeling brave enough to join?

Hosts Denszell and Josette discusses the good, the bad, and the ugly of Kamala Harris as Joe Biden's Vice Presidential running mate. 

Hosts Zell & Jo plan to interview a long time acquaintance with well known opposing views, but end up pivoting to their "Plan B" when their guest bails at the last minute. The team discusses mental wellness and avoiding getting triggered at every turn.

From passive v. actionable love to the highlights of the '60s, childhood friends ask poignant questions to make sure the conversation doesn't die.
