Short episode here on the strange rise of Donald Trump and my analysis of what makes him so popular in America 

Today on Don’t Worry, Randon give an analysis on “Anti-Intellectualism” and how this idea has slowly poisoned the american way of life. It’s background is explained, as well as its impact on both the educational system and politics. To see the video version, look up Don’t Worry, We’ll Talk It Out on Youtube! 

We are back with a big episode on Cancel Culture! This idea has a deep social, cultural, and political dimension to it, that has overtaken most aspects of conversation on social media. In this episode, Randon focuses on analyzing the complex nature of Cancel Culture, by examining celebrity culture, moral standards of history, and the philosophy of forgiveness. 

The coronavirus pandemic has tragically hit the black community the hardest. With the on-going BLM protests, Randon takes aim at the public health officials and politicians who seem to be walking a fine line in terms of siding with the movement, although not being truthful about the potential spread of the virus. The truth is, the virus has hit the black and brown communities that the marches are fighting for. 

Today on Don't Worry,  Randon goes into the psychology of a riot and uses some examples from the films Joker and Do The Right Thing to give context to what rioting truly means! Randon also discusses the social implications of these nationwide protests.

Stay safe out there everyone 

In the midst of turmoil, death, and economic fallout who really cares about sports returning?! Well, because it’s an undeniable part of the zeitgeist and it produces a sense of normalcy to our lives. So, today on the pod I am joined by LSU law student and good friend Tommy Kuluz. Tommy and I discuss the likelihood of sports returning (from a collegiate and professional level) and what the future of sports will look like in a post-coronavirus world. Everything from health care logistics, travel modifications, and the “no fans” experience are covered with much more! 

Songs Used: Lee-Rain, Wyn-Kubla 

In today’s episode, Randon dives into questions regarding the future of work from both a health and economic standpoint. Will masks be worn in the workplace? What will happen if a second wave hits? (1:35) He then has a discussion on the language behind the idea of the “essential worker” (7:00) and the importance of giving these workers better pay and better protective equipment, especially after the pandemic subsides. Finally, the topic of changing social dynamics and the psychological turmoil this could put us under (14:50). Will we even shake hands 8 months from now?
