Still managed to fill an hour in a slow news week! Today, Joe and Ren talk about lockdown restrictions being relaxed, namely gyms reopening and the risks involved. They also talk about educating the elders on the struggles of the present, the mystery of the "guys group chat", and more! Sunday coming (Jul 12) there will be a peaceful protest from 2pm until 6pm from Marble Arch to Parliament Square. It's BLM - Always!

Today’s episode is recorded with a heavy heart. Rest in peace to Belly Mujinga, Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd. Systemic racism is discussed as well as the story of Amy and Christian Cooper (no relation) and the deaths of Belly Mujinga, Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd. May they rest in peace.

In this episode let’s try to take a trip down memory lane by revisiting old music and old memories (hopefully good memories!) and in the second half of today’s episode, (7:13) the issue of colourism in the black community is addressed.

In this episode, Joe introduces the podcast and answers a question posed from a friend “Why do people on social media want to see us fail?” then goes on to talk briefly about the impact of the Coronavirus in the world today.
