Episode 86 - To the Left, To the Left To the Left, To the Left Tue, 02 Jul 2019 15:22:18 +0000 We are now through the first debates, and although 20 candidates are still in the race, we break down who should probably drop out now. Also, can Joe Biden recover from Kamala Harris dropping the hammer on him during their exchange at the debate? Find out who we were pleasantly surprised with and who we thought underperformed (hint, its Bernie).

 What's up with Pete Buttigieg? He had quite a bit of press and raised $25M in Q2 but can't seem to break (and stay above) 5%. He's polling at an abysmal 0% with African Americans right now. We break down what we think this means.

Lastly, has the Democratic Party gone too far left? Free healthcare for everyone, free college—even candidate Andrew Yang proposing to give all Americans $1000 per month. More importantly, if the party has moved to the left, what does that mean for the center as the final candidates have to make their move back to the middle in a short couple of months.

This week, we welcome Morehouse man Jason Keene on the show to discuss the recent graduation gift bestowed upon the Morehouse graduating class of 2019. Will the gesture by billionaire Robert F. Smith start a new trend among HBCUs or PWIs? How insufferable will Morehouse graduates be now?

Ava DuVernay's most recent project, When They See Us, was released a few weeks back. While overall reaction has been positive, should this film be a springboard to have conversations with other races about current injustices? If you're one of our listeners and you are Black, is it your obligation to educated non-Black people about the perils of racism, systemic oppression and more?

We close out with one of the greatest American treasures that we have: Angry Curt. We won't divulge any other clues, but you'll want to hear it.

Tue, 07 May 2019 16:46:07 +0000 After a lengthy break from recording, we are officially back! Curtiss has a new fondness for Spiderman, Vern got hit by a bus and Coleman is still wearing padded pants for his exercise bike.

This week, we do a quick review of the infamous Mueller report. Did Mueller fulfill his mandate even though he ultimately punted on the question of obstruction of justice with regards to Trump? How will the decisions reached (or not reached) embolden President Trump? Does he have a right to gloat?

In other political news, Uncle Joseph Biden officially entered the 2020 Presidential Race from the Democratic Party. Can Joe overcome his past transgressions such as his treatment of Anita Hill and his weird touching incidences? Will name recognition carry him into the primary season?

We wrap up with a discussion about Avengers: Endgame. 22 movies, 11 years, and one big-ass final battle scene. There are spoilers so skip the end of the episode if you have not yet seen the movie.

It's good to be back!

In an already-crowded Democratic field, the choices for the primary only keep increasing. We play a quick game of "First Word You Think" about the most noteworthy names in the field: Warren, Kamala, Bernie, Joe, Corey, etc. Also, do any of these candidates have a legitimate shot at the political throne, or is it too early to tell?

There's no doubt that the Jussie Smollet story has garnered quite a bit of attention? Do we think he's telling the truth? It is certainly a strange story but listen to our discussion to hear our views on that, and the broader topic of why it can be difficult to express an opinion that is contrary to the "mob".

Finally, how many Nike executives contacted Duke, Coach K, and Zion when Zion's shoe exploded in one of the biggest games of the year? Did Nike just lose the next "sure thing" before he even got to the league?

As always, we love to hear your feedback, and thanks for listening.

A made up word, the trials, tribulations and triumph are too real for most of us. Is there a manual for how to adult properly? Further, what are the trademarks of being a successful adult? Is it owning a home, making and keeping friends, handling your money properly? For everyone, the proper version of being an adult means different things.

We ask specific questions this week, including:

1) Is there any shame in living with your parents past your 30s?

2) Should you have an emergency fund?

3) Is it better to rent or own your vehicle/home?

4) Is making friends in your 30s as important as it was in your teens and 20s?

 

We hope you'll join us for this interesting discussion.

Dr. Mumuni is a first generation American of Ghanaian descent. She talks to us about growing up in two cultures, and the differences she observed in Black Americans and her own culture.

The GOP generally has no problem telling minorities what they feel about them, and do not generally promote nor pass policies to help African Americans out. However, there was a time when the majority of African Americans that could vote chose to align with the Republican party--the so-called party of Lincoln. In this episode of University College, we briefly discuss the history of Blacks and the Republican party--as well as why it might be time to consider a switch from the Democratic party.

Finally, does the Lacks family deserve compensation for the countless advancements in medicine that have resulted because of their mother's HeLa cells? We briefly tackle all of this in this very special podcast episode.
