Coronacast Part 2!!!!
REAL. CANDID. ME. I reflect on everything since Coronacast part #1. George Floyd, virtue signaling, my relapse on my eating disorder, California re-opening, data, stats...many things with some humor sprinkled in-between. This is the most candid episode to date. It is not easy to talk about some of these things, white privlidge and my ED relapse, but guess what, I always keep it REAL AF. Hard or not.
