Jay-Z Selling Out Mainstream Black America Is Understood Through Eugene Robinson’s “Disintegration”
James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana discuss the Jay-Z’s deal with Target to exclusively release the 30th anniversary edition of his first album Reasonable Doubt despite (or taking advantage of) efforts from black activists to maintain boycott against Target for its rollback of DEI initiatives. The guys then consider how this illustrates a consequence of the “Splintering of Black America” Eugene Robinson talked about in his 2011 book “Disintegration.” Jay-Z's Target Deal: A Career Built On Contradiction (Forbes) Jay-Z Target Deal Proves He Always Shows Up When We Boycott (Baller Alert) Disintegration: The Splintering of Black America (Bookshop.org) 'Disintegration' Of America's Black Neighborhoods (NPR)

What the Sharia Law Strawman Reveals About Certain News Outlets and the Audience They Cultivate
James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana try to make sense of the recent push to ban Sharia law in the US at the state and national level and discuss why the apparent coordinated use of Sharia law as a strawman by right leaning media seems to be so effective even though there does not seem to be any notable effort going on in the US to enact Sharia law and the US Constitution would operate to prevent it anyway.

Should There Be a Separate Lane for Steroid Fueled Athletic Competitions; Also, Cardiologist’s Advice On Morning and Evening Routines Is Simple But Not Easy
James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana discuss the recently completed Enhanced Games, which allow athletes using banned performance enhancing drugs and banned equipment to compete, and consider why the performances at the games came up well short of the kind of record breaking feats that the organizers were promising. Later on, the guys take a look at published advice from Sanjay Bhojraj, an experienced cardiologist, about the 5 things he does not do before 9:00 am and the 7 things he does not do after 7:00 pm to protect his heart. Enhanced Games claim ‘we changed the world’ but only one record broken and three clean athletes win (The Guardian) At the Enhanced Games, drugs don’t get athletes banned. They could get them rich.
