  Aug 17, 20261h 10mS1

  A wide ranging episode that takes the madness of 2026 and asks how the heck we got here.

Doc and Carlton then take some time to dissect the cultural moment that was the Montgomery Brawl of 2023. Steel chairs, throw hats, and commentary on what made this moment special is a must listen. And recently AOC as she prepares for her future in 2028 laughed off Woke 1, saying it went too far. What was Woke 1, when was it, and what does it mean for today? Doc Watson's column on Dr. Fauci.

They then turn to Andrew's book, "The Change Agent," and the life and legacy of former North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory. From putting Charlotte on the map as an international city, to navigating the Carolina Comeback, to the reckoning of the 2016 and 2022 elections, Andrew brings McCrory to life in a page turner well worth reading.

  WE'RE BACK!!! The Notorious TATE Brothers, the WNBA Fracas, and Ending Summer

  Aug 9, 20261h 26mS1

  The fellas are back after a summer hiatus, and boy do they have a bit to dissect. The (hopefully) fall of Andrew and Tristan Tate is a beautiful thing to behold, but is it the end of the toxic aspect of the manosphere? The fellas talked about the WNBA weeks ago, but shoo boy there has been some high level drama in the meantime. Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham are the centers of conversation regarding race, gender identity, and the culture war. Can we get back to basketball yet? And to end the show we take a look at the new dress code at HBCU Tuskegee University. A good chance to examine race, expectations for black youth, and some shameful confessions from Carlton's time in college.

  Happy 250 America!!! And about the WNBA....

  Jul 7, 20261h 15m

  Doc and Carlton bring some heavy thoughts about the 4th and 250 years of this experiment in self government. Looking at the arc of America's history we step back to compliment the good, while remaining committed to pursuing that more perfect union. And we bring it in for a close talking about the recent flare up over the WNBA. We talk Caitlin Clark, Brittney Griner, and how race, sexuality, and gender all come together to present us with some profound questions.
