Slim addresses an Instagram post that resonated with both him and Smooth concerning the current political climate. A listener writes in an AABG question concerning tinted windows and Smooth weighs in.

This episode is as much of a meandering shit show as the 2020 election. We delve into various topics and issues surrounding the election process, post Election Day. This conversation takes us in a lot of different directions to include media bias, conspiracy theories, voter fraud, and the deep state. Keep in mind that the president was still not decided when we recorded this episode.

We walk down memory lane a bit and go through some of the best and worst actors that were also rappers. Various other topics are covered to include the deep state, electoral college, conspiracies, and the election.

Smooth makes a declaration that the obsession and rabid behavior surrounding fall time activities is white people shit. We discuss creepy movies and Smooth relives his Ouji Board experience from college. Finally, we compare differences between white and black porn, which takes us down porno memory lane.

In this episode, we welcomed our first ever racial guest. We talked about doing this a lot over the past several months and Joe Sumanth answered the call. Joe is an “off the boat” Indian American who had a ton to share with us about his experiences growing up, living, working, and dating in America. We threw some “Ask A Brown Guy” questions at Joe and really learned a lot!

Slim discusses his most current anxiety that stems from the Netflix documentary “The Social Dilemma.” Still no social media accounts for him. Smooth answers a listener submitted inquiry about raising kids in a mixed race household and we end up exploring some differences between our childhoods and how we raise our children now.

Slim explains how hard it is to defend against being called a racist, particularly if the initial claim has no merit. We discuss how the Pentagon conveniently revealed, during a pandemic and unprecedented civil unrest, that the government has in fact recovered craft not of this world. Smooth admits he is terrible at texting and anti-vaxers are called into question.

Slim talks about his near miss with a tornado and Smooth introduces his alter ego, Weatherman Jamal - an oppressed, overworked, and under appreciated meteorologist who is forced to report weather events too dangerous for white meteorologist.

Smooth breaks down some of the differences and similarities in dating black and white ladies and shares some anecdotal stories about the topic. This leads into a long, winding road that passes by a variety of unanticipated topics of conversation. We speculate about how truly stupid people pull off getting elected into political office. The last topic we address is the how the black community still values marriage.
