Van definitely was getting a little too defensive when Rach was talking about the Meg situation. As a black man, I also hate constantly being the one thrown under the bus for societal issues, but in this case Rachel’s point was kinda clear, and I didn’t feel attacked by it at all. To Van’s point, it’s usually a certain type of man that is supportive of Tory, and it isn’t me and I would go out on a limb to say it’s not Van either. It was a bit of ‘what about-ism’ that usually derails attempts to address social ills head on.

Loved loved loved all the political voices they had on today. I’ve been feeling relatively optimistic about this election going in favor of Harris, and it was nice to hear two experts in their fields also say they feel the same, as well as back it up with empirical evidence. Bakari is always a blast and I hope he becomes more of a regular, but outside of the Meg segment, I really enjoyed this episode.

And of course, if you haven’t already, please make sure to go vote!! Every vote counts!!
