Alex, Brian, Joe and Ant sit down to discuss some of the latest topics in the news starting with the recent passing of beloved comedic actor John Witherspoon of Friday, Boomerang, Wayans Bros Show and Boondocks fame. Mr. Witherspoon was always a fan favorite and he will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace.
The guys then went on to address some of the national political news, mainly the latest on candidates in the 2020 presidential election race. Beto dropped out after failing to maintain or grow upon his initial buzz, Elizabeth Warren shared her detailed plan for health care for all and Donald Trump is still acting like an ass.
The fellas also took time to exam the Rodney Reed situation in Texas. After maintaining his innocence for the last two decades plus, Mr. Reed is scheduled to be executed on November 20, 2019. An outcry from celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Questlove and others has brought attention Mr. Reed's situation to the masses in recent days and we all pray that he is granted clemency or a stay of execution.
The latest in black film, music and television was also discussed as well as sports. The NFL season is heating up, NCAA Basketball is back and the NBA season is proving to be as unpredictable as we could've imagined.
