In this first episode of the year, Jack and Mike discuss three themes: cultural compromise, cultural appropriation, and cultural erasure.
Cultural Compromise: They debate host Jerrod Carmichael's decision to sell out his morals and values for money and isn't that all of us?
"How much does it cost to sell your moral principles? Because that's what Carmichael did and the number was $500,000." - Jack Rico
Cultural Appropriation: They then discuss Gwen Stefani saying "I'm Japanese" and doubling down on it.
"Stefani got roasted by Asian Press. These Japanese women bowing to her and, there are all these images you could call white supremacy." - Mike Sargent
Cultural Erasure: Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee banning the term "Latinx" and whether it's important or not.
"It's a joke law. It's not gonna hold Mike. So that's why I particularly don't take this seriously. And I don't think it's gonna go anywhere." - Jack Rico

In this episode, we discuss the controversial topics of code-switching, pivoting, and Brown and Black unity in a divisive world. We explore how these topics can be difficult to navigate in both intimate conversations in the workplace and your personal life.
This episode is particularly special because it is our first virtual live podcast episode, which we recorded at the Men of Color event in Boston, Massachusetts. Originally, we were supposed to be there in person, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to "pivot" and go the virtual route.

Happy Holidays everyone! In this episode, Mike and Jack reflect on how NYC restaurants have returned to normal except for its movie theaters and they offer some thoughts on why.
They also discuss the world's biggest event happening right now - the World Cup. And because we are America, race reared its ugly head at a USMNT press conference and we're all still talking about it. Jack and Mike dissect what an "American" is supposed to look like to the world in 2022. Also, listen to two white Americans speak to that same question, and how futból is becoming their preferred sport.

In this episode, we interview Atlanta-born Mike Flynn, the Co-Creator, Executive Producer, & Co-Showrunner of the CBS cop drama “East New York." We ask him why a Black showrunner would want to create a cop show in a country that has profited enormously from the mass incarceration of Blacks. What is his specific approach to creating white characters in the writer’s room from a Black perspective, and how does he plan to create Brown and Black unity through art?
