Juneteenth, the Obama Library, and Iran Wins the War

Another sizzling episode in sizzlin summer temperatures as Doc and Carlton record on the date of Juneteenth. They break down the history of the holiday, it's meaning, and where it fits in 2026 America. One week, two different visions of America emerge, as the Obama's open the Presidential Library while UFC fighters insult Michelle Obama from the White House Lawn. The legacy and current place of the Obamas continues to be a subject of debate, and the fellas each bring their different perspectives on the 44th President. Lastly, the fellas break down America's second lost war this century. Trump's abject surrender to Iran's demands is captured in painful detail, and what it means for the world ahead.

Karmelo Anthony & Justice in Black and White

Doc and Carlton don't tiptoe around the difficult topics, and this episode starts off with an in depth discussion of the Karmela Anthony verdict. This unvarnished discussion also opens up how so many of these cases and incidents break down on racial lines, and how we need to get beyond that. The show wraps up with a review of the South Carolina Republican Primary, a preview of Tuesday's Georgia Primary, and how the World Cup fans are enjoying their time in America.

The Insurrectionist Fund

Carlton and Doc both come in hot on this latest episode. They talk the (for now) nixed slush fund for January 6th Insurrectionists, the on again then off again Iran War, and the NAACP's call for black college athletes to boycott schools in Southern states that are attacking voting rights. This one offers some unvarnished commentary, so if you're MAGA friendly consider yourself warned.

The Harambe Decade

10 years after Harambe was slain at the Cincinnati Zoo his impact in pop culture lives on. Doc and Carlton dissect the ins and outs of, arguably, the most famous zoo animal killing in American history. Our dynamic duo then delves into the FIFA World Cup coming to the USA, the complicated image that the world has of the United States at this time, and why it's difficult to get excited for what should be a great 250th birthday of the United States of America. The two sign off with their story of the week, and a poignant reminder of the D-Day 82nd Anniversary.
