Episode 76: Let the Political Hunger Games Begin
For this episode, Ty and Daphne discuss current events, news, and how to prepare for the Democratic primary debates. They begin by catching up (00:30) and discussing “Oh Lawd” news (6:15), including an airline passenger’s Twilight Zone experience (7:04), a $40 million divorce (9:49), a hacker’s successful ransom request (13:10), the evolutionary effects of cellphone usage (19:49), and an investigation into Philadelphia police officers’ offensive social media posts (27:50). Ty and Daphne then turn their attention to politics. Specifically, they discuss Mitch McConnell’s remarks on reparations (32:40), their hopes for the 2020 democratic debates (36:15), topics you should research before watching the debates (42:12), strategies for finding a candidate that aligns with your values (44:00), recent Trump news (46:35), and the latest Kavanaugh/Supreme Court headlines (52:14).
