Season 3, Episode 7 of Malik and Jamal

Today's episode dives deep into the Trial of Derick Chauvin; he is currently on trial for the murder of George Floyd - an unarmed black man who died after Chauvin held his knee down on his neck for over 9 minutes during an arrest. The first week of the trial is in the books, and the guys explore some themes and witness testimonies brought by the prosecution. In particular, they discuss a few of the black witnesses whose testimonies gave a new perspective to the infamous incident of May 25th 2020. 

The demand on Black America continues to remain higher than their white counterparts - and the ages of some key witnesses in this trial are clear proof of that.

Season 3, Episode 5 of Malik and Jamal

The last year of increased hatred and violence against the AAPI Community is unacceptable. The murders committed in Atlanta are continued proof that this Community needs protection and advocacy. In this week's episode we address these horrible crimes. 

Although we recognize that we can only know and understand so much about what other communities are going through, we wanted to try our best to be allies to the AAPI Community and do our part to fight expressions of white supremacy wherever they may appear. Our hearts go out to everyone that lost their lives.

Season 3, Episode 2 of Malik and Jamal.

What if Old Macdonald owned a plantation but was also an abolitionist? In classic M&J fashion, the guys come up with an absurd retelling of a classic story.  They also unpack a bit more of their different approaches to staying motivated.

Before jumping into the fun conversation, the show gets real for a bit...this episode was filmed on the 25ht birthday of the late Elijah McClain - the team's thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Rest in Peace, King!

Malik & Jamal Bonus Episode! 

They were on break...but y'all just had to try and start a revolution. The guys get back into the booth for a late night, unedited session.  Y'all, this episode had no prep, no production meeting, and the guys were definitely trying to fight sleep as they recorded at 1am...but this was too big a moment in U.S. history not to speak on it. 

They talk about the individuals who broke into the Capitol Building, the differences in the American Dream for black and white folks, and much more. 

As always, they discuss the seriousness - but with a sprinkle of jokes. With that said, lives were lost on 1/6/21, so the team's hearts go out to the families of the lost souls.

It's the season finale AND the 30th episode of the show - the guys use the last recording of the year to give some shoutouts to the highs and lows of 2020. It's been a hell of a year, and they appreciate all of the listeners for coming along on this 7 month journey as they worked to find their voices on the show. The team is looking forward to bringing you more content in the new year!
