An ESPN reporter's hot mic causes a national debate on white feminism, then we check in on every company that posted a black box last summer. There's a theme here but I'll let you piece it together.A hot mic would probably ruin my life too if I'm honest. Catch me when I'm gaming or driving? I'm gonezo.Music courtesy of: https://www.bensound.com

i'm havana bad time
Comrades and ghouls, it's time to fight the empire. Today's all about the plantain nation: Who are the Cuban Americans? What role is America playing? Do you really need to repost that infographic on your story?It's a no-nonsense extravaganza. If you want to have a better sense of Cuban-American history, this is a good place to start. We keep things somewhat brief, but very easy to follow. (Skip to the 7 minute mark if you want to jump right into it).And then we complain about our insurance plans. Should be renamed BlueCrossBlueShieldBlueBalls 'cause I am never using that crap.Music courtesy of: https://www.bensound.com/

dirty laundry, feat. Bobama
Only six episodes in and we're already using other people's content to fill the time. Calling this segment "Dirty Laundry": we make fun of people who write to advice columns. Best way to get over someone? Get on top of someone else and kick them while they're down. We pulled some strings and muscles to get President Barry's input on shooting dogs, making out, smelly SO's, and the devious white woman. All my favorite hobbies in one place.Music courtesy of: https://www.bensound.com

the pill cosby show
Shehr returns from Popeye's home state, Louisiana. In honor of American independence we talk about black female athletes getting done dirty by the Olympics. But don't worry we find a success story in......Bill Cosby. Well at least someone's doing okay. Finally, we go in-depth on the conflict between content creators and content platforms. The worker's revolution will begin with podcasters.Music courtesy of: https://www.bensound.com/

The better half was out of town, so Saad hires/forces an (unpaid) intern to buy Takis and co-host. And you can't say Saad's a bad boss, he's just getting into character: we talk about Tesla's labor practices and the abuses of the conservatorship system (vis-à-vis Britney Spears, the elderly and the disabled). Plus. ASMR. And I thought they lost the Cold War? No? Ok.

What do slavery, kink and powerlifting all have in common? Chains baby. For our Juneteenth bananza we talk critical race theory, kink shaming and how small our wee-wees are. "We" includes you loser, now bend over.Music courtesy of: https://www.bensound.com

representation for cheeks
We're here on behalf of friend of the pod Riz "Khalifa" Ahmed to discuss Muslim representation and make a movie pitch to fight Islamaphobia. Also: Do cicadas clap cheeks? Probably more than me.

out of order, out of pocket
For how much we talk about Asian American oppression this should've been called the AAPilot episode, amirite? Can't make a pun with any of our other topics: ethical consumerism, the KKKween (well, maybe), or joint bank accounts. Nevertheless, my agent said no.Oh this is Saad and Shehr's first official episode btwMusic courtesy of: https://www.bensound.com
