We had moments in this podcast where we just had a lot of fun. A celebration, we talk over each other, the recording is at moments sketchy, but no way know of how to fix it. There are so many truths here in this conversation. We talk AP of the year, clothes, Spades, hair, white rappers, and embracing who you are.....
In a moment where everything is hard, this conversation left us smiling for days.

Whitelash, Action Bias, and the perfect vacation
Deanna, Doug, and Jerod tell us who they would want to vacation with and where, plus...
White Backlash - White backlash (portmanteau whitelash) or white rage (sometimes white rage backlash) is the negative response of some white people to the racial progress of other ethnic groups in rights and opportunities, their growing cultural parity, political self-determination or dominance.
Action Bias - The action bias describes our tendency to favor action over inaction, often to our benefit. However, there are times when we feel compelled to act, even if there's no evidence that it will lead to a better outcome than doing nothing would.
