Episode 32: Stand-Up Comedy & Forcing Cops to Retire ft. Carl Ellis Grant

This week we are in the studio with Carl Ellis Grant, an actor, comedian, former NASA engineer, and much more. We start off interviewing Carl about his experience at NASA, his experiences in standup comedy and curating the Brooklyn Dreams comedy, his acting career, and the tech world. We then dive into the time the Unapologetic Tawk team first met Carl last year.

Carl was assaulted by NYPD officer Emile Pratt, who also assaulted a 13 yr old on camera weeks later. Relly, Dimez and the protest community went out to hold the transit precinct accountable.

Carl and the team recount the events, and delve into Carl’s relationship to the police and his family, using standup comedy to find healing, and holding the police accountable.

Midway through the topic the team makes an exciting discovery live - its Breaking News!

This discussion leads naturally to the recent protest by Relly and team against dirty NYPD Captain Adan Munoz of the 79th precinct in Bedstuy.

The team makes a quick note to OJs passing before we wrap up the episode!
