:30 -  We’re going to start you out with a Terrible News Update from journalists in Zimbabwe to federal judges in New Jersey, there’s a lot of awful in the news this week. Plus, John Lewis died. Ugh.

‪3:30 John Lewis and Elijah Cummings: two civil rights icons, two Black men, lots of white people showing they don’t know any better.‬

‪5:00 We talk Trader Joes, how we need to stop exoticising non-European cultures in daily life, blind spots in the grocery store, and companies that bring their A game for damage control. And one that didn’t with Leah. ‬

‪22:00 Sportsball: The Washington Redskins, Elura’s lack of sports knowledge, and an important ignored truth about the SuperBowl and domestic violence.‬

25:00 Good Legislation Alert: The Gay Panic Defense has been outlawed in Colorado. This is an LGBTQ+ issue that’s not getting much coverage. We break it down and talk about why it’s such an important step in protecting the rainbow world and thus everyone.

40:00 L&E talk Cancel culture, political correctness, and the importance of paying attention to the power our words.

50:00 Time to check in on the rest of the world and COVID. Spoiler: there are more places than just America, and we should probably take a gander at what’s happening on the Nile River.
