This episode was recorded before the grand jury trial in the Breonna Taylor case.

This week the boys dive into the Louisville police declaring a pre-state of emergency leading up to the grand jury trial of Breonna Taylor, so you can hear all of our hopes that got dashed out loud.

We also discuss Trump's shortlist for nominations to the Supreme Court to replace RBG, and how generally fucked that situation is.

Last, we discuss an Australian MP's defamation case against a conspiracy theorist, and her huge payout.

This episode the boys are social distancing as a precaution. Jumping in- the first story is from California where a gender reveal party created an ecological disaster. Then moving to Washington D.C where a George Washington University Professor who is whiter than white was moonlighting as various people of color, then we're off to the Philippines to cover a grave miscarriage of justice and to remind people not to go to the Philippines, and last but not least- we dive into a story about the Department of Homeland Security's Domestic Terror assessment, and try to unpack that.
