It’s another Episode of Decoding40 and we start it off with a few burning questions.  Are the women on Instagram models or are they simply THOTS?  And, what’s your THOT ratio? How many pages do you follow are dedicated thirst trappers? 

The crew opens up the show with some personal updates.  Vin is almost killed by a runaway ceiling fan and rogue weed whacker.  L.O. is having over 40 issues with an unexplainable pain. Mack gets invited to the Vermont Brewery Festival in Burlington, VA.  Finally, after spending almost five grand and maybe even enlisting the services of a dumb lead baby to eat the paint chips, Alaric’s home is finally lead-free.

Next, we talk about the JPMorgan owned ship that was seized in a Philadelphia port with over a billion in cocaine and whether or not JP Morgan executives were aware that the ship was transporting drugs. And, more importantly, where are the drugs now?  
We wrap it up with the latest installment of This Week’s Libation, Angels Envy, which had Vin in heaven.  Alaric finds out that the heiress of the Basil Hayden fortune might be a future listener.

This week we turn our focus to the serious topic of reparations.  Should the African American community receive them or is it too late? Next we discuss the case of Marshae Jones, the Alabama woman who was shot while pregnant during an altercation.  Under pressure from abortion rights groups she was charged for the murder of her unborn child.  Crazy, right? But, not crazier than the turn we take next about Alabama Governor Kay Ivey.  Would she support banning abortion if she was younger and her vagina was not as dry as her face? 

We round the hour out with discussing which genre of music is more accepting: country or hip hop?  We also discuss ways that we maintain our own mental health and our experiences with therapists.  And, lastly we wrap up the show with a nostalgic discussion about video games and game consoles.

Thanks for listening to another episode and we hope you keep listening for not only the next 20 but the next 200 and beyond! And, follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.  You can also check us out on Patreon.

This week is another mixed bag of hilarious conversation discussing stories on New York City subway to cheap and questionable airlines. Then we tackle a host of topics including whether or not Black people can be racists, the problem with shady postal carriers and other delivery persons. We also discuss whether or not men and women can have meetings in casual or potentially compromising settings.

We finish up the hour talking about media biases and the manipulation of news leading to uninformed and brainwashed citizens.  And, with the 2020 election quickly approaching, should the politicians maintain the high road or is it time for them to take the gloves off and fight fire with fire.

We’re backkk! What’s good Decoding 40 family? Hope everyone had a great holiday.

This week’s episode starts off with a song from L.O. and a reenactment of the calls that we all miss or avoid from LIFE!

We start off with a discussion about dealing with contractors and their ability to capitalize on our fears and ignorance when it comes to home repairs.  Alaric tells us about his recent run-in with lead abatement and shady contractor practices.  

This leads us into the astronomical cost of health coverage in this country and how one trip to the hospital can change your financial life.  And, speaking of changes, we then talk about the growing trend of couples deciding to blend their last name when getting married versus the traditional practice of wives taking on their husband’s last name. Is it a time-honored tradition or an archaic idea?

We round out the show with the Black man that America loves to hate O.J. Simpson who has recently plunged into social media by recently joining Twitter. We also discuss reparations.  Will Black people ever get them?  If so, in what form should they be handed down.
