T, Jason, and Riri discuss music and the music industry. Riri brings up a fun fact that sets the stage for a discussion on Hip Hop artists and the genre of Rap in general. The three share their favorite songs (at least currently) and how their tastes in music have evolved over time.

Other questions and topics include what song T, Jason, and Riri would be if they were a song, and how they feel about and listen to music. Somehow the discuss turns to Michael Jackson, Bill Cosby, and others.

T, Jason, and Riri discuss what makes up one's identity: is it how you see yourself or how others see you? Is it just your race and gender or what you do or is it your kids? Does nature or nurture play a larger part in predicting someone's identity or path in life?

As usual, the conversation has several tangents: what does it mean to be a Christian? Are fathers more attractive? T and Jason's horrible experience at Olive Garden, and a sneak peek at T and Jason's epic Halloween story from back in the day.

T and Jason discuss masculinity and all that entails. We're talking definitions of Masculinity, Masculinity in the era of the #MeToo movement, and how we wrestle with our perceptions of our own masculinity.

T and Jason discuss Fatherhood, Fathers, and Dadding. Jason brings up some interesting statistics about fathers in households and how it relates to academic achievement and why single fathers might have an easier time getting support than single mothers.

For real, we did not plan the argument. Also we're not sure why this episode posted as a video instead of audio-only (we are still considering shifting to full video).
