EP 420: Diddy Got Off Too

This week we kick things off with some high school memories and S.O.’s unexpected week of silence 😂. Then we reflect on 9/11, 25 years later, and 30 years since the death of 2Pac — including where we were when we first heard the news.

We get into Lil Durk being found not guilty and the reaction to his acquittal. Why were so many people rooting for Durk despite the serious allegations against him? And that opens up an even bigger conversation: Do we sometimes idolize people accused of poisoning our communities more than we support the people trying to pour into them?

After the killing of 22-year-old BloodHound Q50, we also talk about Chicago’s drill scene and whether someone like Durk could help change its direction — or whether the cycle is already bigger than any one artist.

Then we get into the Lindsay Clancy trial and the controversy surrounding the lone holdout juror whose identity and personal information were exposed after the mistrial. Would knowing that could happen to you change how you feel about serving on a jury?

Plus, reasons to go to church, accountability, community, and somehow… Diddy got off too. 😂
