Best Friend Weekend Podcast

Sometimes, the best talking points come from a quick flip through the Yahoo headlines. Aldo NICE, Rog Smuve, C.A.P., and C.I. caught up this week and kicked off the podcast discussing Rumble Williams’ views on a flat Earth (01:00), some interesting audience feedback we received on YouTube (06:00) and our continued discussion of cultural appropriation (14:00). After going over OBJ’s latest mini-controversy (20:00), we got an opportunity to discuss three stories that brought race to forefront of our minds again this week. Will Eric Reid, Colin’s Kaepernick’s kneeling buddy in San Francisco, find a new job (25:00)? Is it such a bad thing for black bosses to promote a culture of blackness at the workplace (36:00)? And did the racial bullying of Jonathan Martin lead to his mental breakdown this week (46:00)? The podcast wrapped up with a recap of the NCAA tournament, our #BlackMovieBracket’s current situation (56:00) and Aldo having Nothin’ NICE to Say about technology taking over (59:00).
