January 15th marks the 35th annual celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday as a national holiday (18 years for some states that held out for about 17 years, but anywho…) and we thought it would be appropriate to address a few things (and people) to hopefully get them right this year. Last week, this guy some people call “president” made a controversial (but not at all surprising for him) comment about Haiti and basically the entire continent of Africa when he asked “Why are we having all these people come from these shithole countries?” during a meeting on DACA. Apparently, when “this guy” grew frustrated with lawmakers during an Oval Office meeting as they discussed protecting immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries as part of a bipartisan deal over the dreamers, he asked “Why do we need more Haitians?”, then suggested we should “Take them out.”  Knowing all of this is taking place concurrently with  Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrations, we fully expect there to be a slew of phony well-wishers and unity speakers who on one hand “believe in MLK’s vision” but on the other hand and simultaneously refuse to publicly, firmly and finally reject this “president” and everything he stands for. So, we decided to speak our minds and try to warn the hypocrites before they hijack another MLK day with their phoniness – looking directly at you Steve Harvey, Chrisette Michelle, Ray Lewis, Ama…Omo..Omorisa..rosa…whatever the f*ck your real name is – and all the complicit politicians that will stand up on Monday, January 15th 2018 and state how much they admire Dr. King, but their actions during this administration’s run has shown otherwise.

This week, we talked about Justin Timberlake…no, really…that’s mainly what this is about. Apparently, he has a new album out and one of us is going to listen to it and the other (guess who’s who) won’t be. We had a short and sweet discussion about how we feel about Justin, and moreover, how being a culture vulture is the norm nowadays. We kept this one short and sweet because, seriously, who’s trying to talk about Justin for more than 30 minutes?

This week we’re talking about New Years resolutions…or as we discussed in this episode, what we do is more like New Years “evolution”. We both gave our feelings on the tradition of making (followed most times by breaking) resolutions each year and how we go about doing or not doing them. Finally, we discussed some of the things we would like to see happen in the new year (or any year in the near future, for that matter).

It's Christmas Eve, and really, what else could we possibly have on our mind besides Christmas? If you've been following this show for a bit, it's probably no surprise that we have a host of unpopular opinions, and this week was no exception. This episode was sparked by a simple question: Knowing what you know now, would you tell your child(ren) Santa is real or would you tell them he doesn't exist? We both gave our views on this question, as well as, discussed our childhood memories of Christmas and how we found out Santa was not real. Finally, we talked about what we think has been lost in recent holiday celebrations. If you're feeling brave, go ahead and give it listen now...if your Christmas has been going kinda shaky so far, you may want to wait until after Christmas to listen to this one.

The question came to us when we were thinking about this whole podcasting thing: Why has this become a mini-addiction for us? Sure, it's fun for us, but this episode we decided to delve into what really goes on in our minds when we do these shows, what was our goal when we started and what keeps us coming back to do more. Also, we talked about some of the shows we regularly listen to and gave some reasons why. We encourage anyone seeing this or listening to this episode to check out the shows we mentioned and/or venture out and find some that speak to you personally.

Over the past week or so, Atlanta elected a new mayor. After a pretty crowded field, it was narrowed down to 2 candidates: city council member Keisha Lance Bottoms, an African American from the Democratic party, and city council member Mary Norwood, a white woman who is running as an independent. Although this race didn’t apply to us directly (we don’t live in Atlanta, therefore weren’t eligible to vote), we wondered to ourselves: Does Atlanta still need a black mayor? After years of a black president many believed would be the savior to black people (hint,hint: not us), why do we still vote along racial lines simply because a person looks like us? Well, we decided to stop wondering to ourselves and recorded our thoughts on it. Check it out.
