Guest: Van Lathan @ "Higher Learning" (Co-Host), Previously @ TMZKmele and Van connect for a wide-ranging conversation about racism, reconciliation, and finding common ground. It's yet another exercise in constructive disagreement. In fact, it's the back half of a three-hour discussion that managed to feature vanishingly few points of agreement -- and zero personal insults.Oculus QuestTHOUGHT Warriors Uncle Tom: A Most Dangerous ManIf Everyone Listened to Kmele...Listing + ReconciliationRepresentationRacecraftStrangefruitMLK and the FBIJuneteenthCandace Owens BrotherRecorded Jan 27th, 2021Published Feb 3rd, 2021 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It is upon us: that very rare occasion when we unlock a Patreon episode for the masses. 🎁🎁🎁If you are clever and don't want to miss future locked episodes, subscribe here.---------Rather than our typical bullet-pointed show notes, we'll keep this one short and sweet. Because try as they might to pull the conversation away from Kmele's bravura performance on Real Time with Bill Maher, the lads just couldn't manage it. Although they do respond to a listener email about the Pet Shop Boys...and Kmele does says the word kerfluffle.That is all. Enjoy. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
