In this episode we take a departure from the normal comedy and interviews, we're doing in order to tackle a topic that carries weight to this day.
We present both fact and opinion here, but we make sure to draw clear lines between fact and opinion.
We're starting a new series of episodes called Lessons Yet Learned, where we'll be covering things the society seems to be blatantly ignoring. Despite years of having it staring us in the face. Odd Man debated on this being the first one for a while. He reached out to several close friends, about covering the topic and how to present it without seeming like we are cashing in on suffering.#RacismStillExists and #policebrutalities continue. We track back to an event that sends a beacon of light up to not be ignored. The horrific beating of #RodneyKing and what followed in the years to come.

Episode 62: Hey Chilly, Get The Broads

Ace and Mr. Doctor Cookie are back again for the first time. Odd got to talk to Actor and Screenwriter Marc Sheffler, this episode has him playing a round of #InterviewRoulette with Odd.If you want to hear or see the full interview, consider signing up for the either the audio or video tiers. We appreciate the support at any tier.In typical fashion, This episode is a little lopsided. Odd had intended to cover a specific range of topics, but with Ace and Mr. Doctor Cookie on board...things slide off the rails pretty quickly.They do cover some of the original topics chosen. They talk about the #Spotify, #NeilYoung and #JoeRogan. Along with personal responsibility and taking accountability for not doing your due diligence. And of course that spirals into the intricate web that is our society.We also talk about medical grade lube! It's a hell of a ride. Let me tell you.Our theme song is a collaboration between The Chinchillionaires and Oddio Productions.

Episode 64: Lessons Yet Learned - Tulsa 1921

One the questions that came up frequently during our first "lessons yet learned" episode was "what is the sense in rioting and burning everything to the ground?" Well, we decided to try to answer that question with another history lesson.
May 31st 1921: Tulsa Oklahoma...Specifically the Greenwood District, which was known as Black Wall Street. A thriving and booming African American business hub of black owned businesses. That would be decimated, when mobs of white residents, some of whom be later deputized and given weapons by city officials, attacked Black residents and destroyed homes and businesses.
It is one of the biggest acts of terrorism acted out by Americans on Americans.Don't believe us? Check the history books, google search it...we implore you to look into both before and after our episode.
What the Greenwood District look like before
