This week Rick is at the end of a very long business trip in the South.  His body has taken a beating and he’s missing the creature comforts of home.  L.O has a Covid scare at his son’s school, luckily he’s negative. Mack has been in a bit of a rut, but after meeting with some of his like-minded business friends he realizes he needs to raise his personal bar to achieve new heights.  Vin is having a quiet week, dealing with some health concerns but overall things are looking up 

Next, we discuss whether or not the Biden Administration, Kamala Harris, and the rest of the Democrats are missing in action?  During the election, many Democrats, including Biden and Harris courted the BIPOC community with promises of addressing important issues in the Black community especially. Unfortunately, 10 months in, we are still waiting for answers. Lastly, we honor the late Colin L Powell and discuss his long career full of many firsts for the African American community.  

This and much more including kinky bears, racist holidays, and a listener letter on the latest episode of Decoding40.

Vin starts off this week’s Check-In with some great news about his new show dates at Broadway Comedy (details below). Alaric is on the road again and this time he’s in Black Mountain N.C.  Mack talks about speaking at a RocNation sports conference at Long Island University.  And, it was a quiet week for L.O. as he continues to develop his CBD-based company, DRZL. 

Next, the crew breaks down The Closer, Dave Chappelle’s latest comedy special on Netflix.  Dave is no stranger to controversy especially when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community and this special is no different. We review the special, discuss the controversy, and work through our interpretations of the backlash the show is receiving.  

Lastly, the guys tackle another one of L.O. famous letters and offer some advice for a woman who finds herself struggling with a sexless marriage. Should she stay married and faithful or step out and get her groove on?

Robert Sylvester Kelly is found guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking charges. Now that we have a verdict, what should we do about separating his artistic legacy from his heinous crimes?

For the check-in, Vin talks about this comedy club grind and reconnecting with old friends. Rick is gearing up for a work trip to LA.  L.O. was feeling a little under the weather after having an allergic reaction to something proving that the older you get the more sensitive your body becomes.  And, Mack is business as usual but takes time to appreciate his family coming together. 

Lastly, we discuss a hotbed topic that seems to be inundating the culture when it comes to relationships: Why don’t women submit to their husbands?

We’re back! And, school is fully back in session after a year and a half of distance learning and it’s safe to say the crew is very happy.  Alaric’s son gets suited and booted up for his day of Pre-k.  He and his wife hire a new babysitter to help manage the day-to-day operations at home. Vin’s youngest starts High School and he’s super proud of her.  Life has its ups and downs but he’s learning how to navigate in this new phase of life.  Like all of us, L.O. is happy that his sons are back in school and is spending the extra time binging on some of his favorite TV programs.  Mack’s business is booming but with that comes lawyers, lawyers, and more lawyers.  More money, more problems. 

Next, the crew has a heartfelt conversation on the topic of fatherhood.  They share their experiences of being dads and how they navigate these uncharted waters without having some lessons from their own fathers.  

Lastly, we ended with another installment of L.Dots letters and this one comes from a married woman whose husband sneaks into her phone for her content. She thinks he’s stealing. Who’s right? The fellas weigh in.

Vin has a new neighbor that doesn’t believe in curbing their dog. Or, is it actually the dog that doesn’t believe in curbing their human? Alaric shares a story of an accident in his neighborhood and he thinks the NYPD has given up. Mack shares a similar story with a twist, where he gets into a high-speed chase as a self-deputized crimefighter. L.O. celebrates his eldest son going to high school while his youngest has a new obsession with Hamilton the musical. Mack orders some toys online and reminiscences on when toy stores existed.

Next, we discuss the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and where we were on that fateful day. This attack changed the American experience as we knew it forever. We also introduce a new segment: Negroes at the Theatre. Our first review is of the sci-fi movie, Tomorrow War. Is Hollywood actively pushing a subtle white supremacist agenda?

Lastly, we pay our respects to the iconic film and television actor, Michael K Williams, who recently died at the age of 54 in his New York apartment. His portrayals in the Wire, Boardwalk Empire, and Lovecraft Country were nothing less than stellar and cemented his legacy in the arts. He will be truly missed.

After a nice summer vacation break, Decoding40 is back. Alaric shares his Antiguan vacation experience, unfortunately, the food at the resort was less than desirable.  L.O. heads to Pennsylvania to enjoy some white river rafting with the family where he’s the captain now.  Vin realizes that when you ask for something, God gives exactly what you want even if you’re not ready.  Mack takes a business trip to Panama where despite the language difference there are several similarities to America.  

First, we discuss Sha’carri Richardson and her suspension from the Olympics due to her marijuana use but after her comeback, we all realize she probably didn’t have a chance against team Jamaica.  We follow up with a speed round and cover everything from the Taliban, Mike Lindell, and The Lox destruction of Dipset on the last Verzuz.

The Check-In starts off with an uneventful week for Mack. Somehow, the conversation takes a left turn we end up talking about colostomy bags.  L.O. heads out to Fire Island to visit his sons at camp and has a close encounter with a deer. Vin is getting ready for his colonoscopy, something every man dreads but is totally necessary over the age of 45.  Rick shares another installment of Trash Wars: Flatbush Addition.  Apparently one of his neighbors is allowing their dog to relieve themselves in front of his house and this time it’s on camera. 

We discuss the case out of Biscayne Bay Park involving Chief Raimundo Atesiano who received three years in prison for violating the civil rights of two young Black men. The guys also talk about the bill passed by the Texas Senate that seeks to erase the atrocities from this country’s history. 

And, then of course we figure out what the best sexual position is. Listen to find out.

Rick starts this week’s check-in by wishing his wife a happy birthday!  Vin is at work and its business as usual.  L.O. drops his kids off for sleepaway camp, but nothing is ever easy when he takes an Uber.  Mack spends time with his brothers and surprises his wife with a brand new appliance. 

This week we take time to remember the legendary hip hop pioneer, Biz Markie, who succumbed to his health issues on July 16, 2021.  Biz represented our culture to the fullest and was an intrical part of our teenage years. We all grew up on his music and this one along with so many of the artists we’ve lost, particularly in the last month, hit the crew hard.  #RIPBiz. 

We also talk about thoughts of infidelity in a marriage. What happens when your wife is thinking about cheating, but she doesn’t know how to tell you? What should she do? The guys have some surprising thoughts.

Leon’s son start summer camp which can only mean one thing in the Cauthen household.  Que up the slow music and light some candles.  Vin has a grateful week off and takes a trip to the range with Rick.  As the world open back up more and more Rick finds himself back to work.  His most recent job trip finds him in the middle of Virginia where thankfully everyone was on their best behavior.  Lastly Mack shares his tale of his flooded parking garage.  Recently NYC was hit with some serious flash flooding and unfortunately Mack’s car was a victim.   Looks like a new car is in his future.

Next we discuss Sha’Carri Richardson and whether or not her suspension was based on racism or just a punishment dulled out by the governing bodies for breaking the rules. The crew ways in on this, the cancelation of Lovecraft Country and its correlation to the movement to suppress Critical Race Theory and positive imagery of Black and Brown people in America.
