Episode 88: The Sad Realization that Award Shows Are No Longer Geared Toward Our Generation
Available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio.
In this episode, we discuss the realization that we are no longer in the target age bracket for the entertainment industry after being woefully unaware that the BET Awards were airing last weekend. We also discuss, Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw’s efforts to have Olympic Hammer Thrower Gwen Berry removed from the U.S. Team due to her protesting the National Anthem, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his efforts to survey the political beliefs of staff and students of Florida State Universities, Attorney General Merrick Garland’s efforts to sue Georgia over its restrictions to voting, the Derek Chauvin sentencing trial, and the BET Awards.
