In his lawsuit, he makes 3 serious allegations among which that he was given a sham interview by the NY Giants all because he received an errant text message intended for another Brian, Brian Daboll the new Coach of the NY Giants days before his own interview for the job. 

Happy New Year! it's 2022 and we are back! unfortunately so is the Pandemic! With yet another variant Omicron is here and it's thankfully less severe but is more contagious.

Simone Biles is the greatest gymnast who ever lived at only 24 years old, yet she is constantly discouraged from creating new moves and getting her proper recognition for them. The moves she creates and performs effortlessly, are dangerous for other world-class gymnasts, men or women, to even try. As a result, the governing bodies lower the difficulty score for them to discourage their use. This is unfair to Biles and the future of the sport and it's a part of a long history of hostility for black women in traditionally white sports.  For a list of Black Gymnastic Pioneers: https://wendyhilliardgymnasticsfoundation.wordpress.com/category/black-gymnasts-in-history/ The Article Referenced: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/nancy-armour/2021/05/23/simone-biles-gymnastics-officials-foolish-punishing-her-talent/5232267001/

In this episode, we discuss a possible police reform we think should get serious consideration, and that is the end of the traffic stop as we know it. Every year there are millions and millions of traffic stops nationwide that endanger both the citizen and the officer. Far too many times these stops result in lawsuits and even loss of life as we have seen far too often in recent years. It is time to ask the question, would the public be better served if getting pulled over was a thing of the past?  Article Referenced: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/05/10/virginia-trooper-arrest-video/

With the verdict of Derek Chauvin being read, another Black Body was being killed at the hands of the Police. What will it take to restore trust in Policing nationwide? What does accountability look like? What will it take to reform the Police? 

In this episode, we discuss our experiences enduring the Texas Winter Storm and Power outage as we both live in North Texas. The Texas Power grid approached critical failure as rolling blackouts combined with some of the coldest temperatures recorded statewide resulted in a perfect storm that endangered millions of Texans. This crisis in Texas was both preventable and a political lightning rod for those on both sides of the aisle as the proudly independent Texan Power grid had no winterization to protect it. Meanwhile, politicians like Ted Cruz fled the state, while others argued and lied about the causes of the failure. Today we talk about our time spent Frozen in Texas. 

In our first pod of 2021 we discuss the GOP's dispute of America's Democratic Process, the rhetoric that leads to the US Capitol Riot, and the GOP's embrace of increasingly extreme conspiracy theory. From Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's recent past of extreme viewpoints and conspiracy theories; to Republican Rep. Liz Cheney facing a rebuke for voting for impeachment, the GOP must choose its future carefully. 

We discuss the results of the 2020 Election now that Joe Biden has been declared the President-Elect! Still, President Trump got 70 million votes and is yet to concede the Election. President Trump has used the White house as a backdrop to challenge American Democracy itself alleging Voter Fraud and the Theft of the Presidency, all without Evidence. Where Does a deeply divided nation go from here? 

This episode discusses the miserable state of the Trump administration and the GOP as it approaches Election Day. The only thing positive on their end appears to be a COVID Test. 

This episode discusses the wake of Kansas City fans booing a moment of silence for Racial Injustice. Throughout American history, there has always been hostile responses to peaceful protests about racial injustice going all the way back to MLK. No matter how it is done there will always be white supremacists standing against the fight for equality.
